Chapter 201
Chapter 201
Only then did I learn that after I texted Song Xiaotian, they had all been ready to give up on taking Wang Guofu alive.
After all, dragging Wang Guofu away right in front of Du Yunting was practically impossible.
But when Anning heard Du Yunting was there, she suddenly got worked up and charged straight toward the teahouse, wanting to risk her life against him.
Seventh Master reacted fast enough. He immediately had Song Xiaotian put on an act with Anning and make the scene a little more chaotic.
And that was how the scene just now happened.
So nobody had discussed any of it beforehand, yet everyone had played along with perfect tacit understanding.
Seventh Master and Meng Yifan had kidnapped the man right under Du Yunting’s nose.
I had originally wanted to praise Song Xiaotian and the others, but seeing that Anning still hadn’t calmed down, I didn’t say anything more.
“Are you okay?” I asked her.
She shook her head and said nothing.
I asked Song Xiaotian where Seventh Master had taken Wang Guofu. Song Xiaotian said they’d taken him straight home.
“What if Du Yunting knows where Seventh Master lives?” I asked.
“Then he knows.” Song Xiaotian tossed his head. “I’ll stand guard at the door. Let’s see which suicidal bastard dares to force his way in.”
With that, we headed toward Seventh Master’s place.
Someone was following us from behind. Sure enough, it was Du Yunting and his men.
Song Xiaotian told me to ignore them and pretend I hadn’t seen anything.
Before long, we had arrived at Seventh Master’s front door. Before we even went in, we could already hear Wang Guofu screaming.
The guy had probably been beaten pretty badly by Seventh Master.
Song Xiaotian and I didn’t go in for the moment. We let Anning enter first.
After she went inside, we closed the door and stood guard outside like two statues of the door god.
Not long after, Du Yunting arrived with his Bodyguards.
“Master Wang is inside, isn’t he?” he asked us.
“Master Wang? Which Master Wang?” Song Xiaotian had a cigarette between his lips and looked at him sideways. “There are only Master Song and Master Chen here. Need something?”
That arrogant tone instantly drew the displeasure of those Bodyguards.
Seeing that there weren’t many people around, one of the Bodyguards grabbed Song Xiaotian by the collar and hauled him up. “Kid, I still haven’t settled the score with you for earlier. You-”
Before he could finish, a fist smashed into his face. Reeling from the pain, he quickly let go of Song Xiaotian.
The next second, he went flying.
Song Xiaotian withdrew his right leg and tossed his head. “Who else wants to settle a score?”
The moment he finished speaking, the other two Bodyguards attacked from the left and right.
My eyes couldn’t even keep up with Song Xiaotian’s punches. All I saw were afterimages, and those two men dropped into a crouch, clutching their faces.
“With skills like that, how do you even have the nerve to call yourselves Bodyguards? President Du must feel so unsafe.”
As Song Xiaotian mocked them, he walked straight up to Du Yunting.
He was even a little taller than Du Yunting, as if he were looking down on him.
Du Yunting didn’t show the slightest fear. He met his gaze head-on. “You’re very impressive.”
Song Xiaotian said, “You’re too kind, President Du. Your eyes look pretty unconvinced.”
Du Yunting said, “I wouldn’t dare.”
Song Xiaotian said, “No need to be modest. You would.”
Du Yunting said, “I truly wouldn’t dare.”
With that, he turned to leave.
I called out to him again. “President Du!”
He stopped, turned around, and looked at me. “Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?”
“Do you still remember what I said to you at my dad’s and my grandfather’s funeral?” I looked at him and grinned. “We’ve got plenty of time ahead of us.”
He nodded thoughtfully, then left with his three Bodyguards.
“That little prick actually learned how to keep a low profile.” Song Xiaotian spat, his face full of contempt.
I shot him a look. “Can you act a little civilized? Aren’t you afraid your mouth will rot off?”
Song Xiaotian said, “Because I damn well feel like it!”
The two of us pushed the door open and went inside, then locked it behind us.
Another scream from Wang Guofu came from upstairs.
We went up to take a look. Wang Guofu had already been beaten black and blue by Seventh Master, but he still wore a look of grim resolve, as if he would rather die than yield.
He was a tough nut to crack.
“Either beat me to death, or once I get out of here, I’ll make sure you all rot in prison.”
Leaning against the wall with his face covered in blood, he looked at us with contempt.
Song Xiaotian teased, “Seventh Master, you’re being way too softhearted. He’s still got the nerve to look down on us.”
Seventh Master rolled his eyes at Song Xiaotian. “What am I supposed to do if he won’t talk? Beat him to death?”
Song Xiaotian didn’t answer. He took out a cigarette, stuck one in Wang Guofu’s mouth, and even lit it for him personally. “Master Wang, you’re really not going to talk?”
With the cigarette between his lips, Wang Guofu snorted coldly. “I don’t know what you want me to confess to. Just wait. Wait until I sue-”
Before he could finish, Song Xiaotian casually grabbed a stool from beside him and smashed it straight into Wang Guofu’s face.
The sudden blow scared even Anning, who had still been worked up a moment ago, stiff.
Even Seventh Master froze in shock.
Meng Yifan and I both shuddered.
That was way too ruthless!
Wang Guofu swallowed the cigarette right into his mouth, then immediately spat it out. Clutching his face, he rolled all over the floor.
He was very quiet. When pain reached its peak, a person couldn’t scream.
I could see tears of agony streaming from his eyes.
That really hurt.
“You still don’t understand the situation you’re in.”
As Song Xiaotian spoke, he tossed the stool aside and started searching the room for something.
While he searched, he said to Wang Guofu, “You think we’re too kind, you know that? I never even saw you as a human being in the first place.”
With that, he found an iron hammer and walked straight toward Wang Guofu with it in hand.
Wang Guofu, who had still looked so unyielding just now, had gone deathly pale. He couldn’t even speak anymore and just kept howling.
“Ah! Ah!!”
Song Xiaotian seized his hand and forcibly pulled it away from his mouth, then brought the hammer down.
That heart-rending scream was even more shrill than a pig being slaughtered for New Year’s.
I could even hear the sound of his hand bones being shattered.
Song Xiaotian was too ruthless.
Too damn terrifying!
“You were the one who tricked Feng Gang into killing himself, right? And you were the one who manipulated Liu Jing into committing suicide too, right?”
Song Xiaotian’s expression didn’t change as he said calmly, “I know you’ve harmed five other people. I’ll give you one last chance. Tell me the names and home addresses of those five people, every single detail.”
Whether from crying or from the pain, Wang Guofu’s tears and snot were all streaming out. He nodded frantically.
I thought to myself, A man this stubborn actually gave in so fast.
But I couldn’t really blame him. Song Xiaotian was just that brutal.
If it were me, I would’ve confessed the moment Song Xiaotian started threatening me.
Meng Yifan tossed Song Xiaotian a notebook and a pen.
Song Xiaotian opened the notebook and winked at Wang Guofu.
Enduring the pain, Wang Guofu knelt on the floor and recited, “Yu Zheyuan, male, lives in Xinhai Residential Complex on Fenghua Avenue in the South City District…”
As he kept going, his voice grew quieter and quieter. He was probably in too much pain to bear it.
Song Xiaotian slapped him across the face. “Is your fucking cerebellum underdeveloped or something? You can’t even speak clearly. Louder, damn it!”
