The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 688 A Hundredfold Increase in Pain
Chen Xiao opened the safe, inside were more than a dozen gold bars, stacks of cash, and more than a dozen property ownership certificates.
Chen Xiao took all the property ownership certificates and gave them to Li Ziqing, "See which one is ours."
Li Ziqing flipped through them, her face brightening with joy. She held up one of them and said, "Found it!"
"Very good, then next, we should ask him why he wanted to capture you."
Chen Xiao crooked his finger at Jin Qianbao, "You, come here!"
Jin Qianbao obediently walked over, and before Chen Xiao could speak, he plopped down and knelt.
"Master, Madam...spare my life..."
Chen Xiao laughed. This was truly a man who knew how to read the situation!
"Now you can tell me, why did you want to capture me?"
Li Ziqing's tone was almost unchanged from before, but the situation had undergone a complete reversal.
"Madam, I can give you anything you want, just please don't force me, okay? I can't say, if I say, my little life will be gone."
Jin Qianbao sobbed.
"Give me anything? Then I'll just take your little life."
"..."
"Are you going to talk or not!"
"I can't say, I really can't say..."
Jin Qianbao was very tight-lipped. Clearly, the person instructing him from behind was also a very terrifying existence.
Jin Qianbao's fear of that person was no less than his fear of Chen Xiao.
"Since you're so afraid of death, then today I'll let you taste a fate worse than death, and see if you'll talk!"
As he spoke, Chen Xiao tapped Jin Qianbao a few times.
Jin Qianbao screamed miserably. He thought that Chen Xiao's taps would poke a few bloody holes in his body.
But the truth was, Chen Xiao's taps didn't hurt or itch at all.
He looked at Chen Xiao, bewildered, not knowing what Chen Xiao was doing.
"Wife, I've tapped his major acupoints. Now his sense of pain is increased a hundredfold. You can handle the rest."
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he sat aside leisurely drinking tea.
Li Ziqing smiled. "Sense of pain increased a hundredfold? Then I have to try it!"
*Pa—*
Li Ziqing slapped him lightly, but Jin Qianbao felt like he had been hit by a large truck. His head was buzzing, and he felt like his brains had been knocked out.
"Hehe, interesting..."
Seeing Jin Qianbao's reaction, Li Ziqing acted as if she had found a new toy and started punching and kicking Jin Qianbao.
Jin Qianbao cried and howled, snot and tears flowing all over the ground.
He had been in the underworld for so many years, had been beaten, and even stabbed and shot.
But when it came to torture, it had never been as terrible as it was now.
Li Zijian, who was standing to the side, was trembling all over just from watching, his heart shrinking into a ball as if it had been squeezed.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I give up, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!"
Jin Qianbao finally couldn't resist the torment of pain and surrendered, raising both hands. "This matter was done at the instruction of Tang Laoda. He only told me to find a way to capture you and hand you over to him. I don't know anything else..."
"Tang Laoda?"
Li Ziqing frowned, searching her mind for the name, but in the end, she concluded that she had no impression of him.
She asked, "Who is Tang Laoda?"
"Tang Laoda's name is Tang Fei."
Seeming to want to gain some favor in front of Li Ziqing, Li Zijian rushed to answer, "He's a rising star in Imperial City in the last two years, unified the underground world of Imperial City, and is the well-deserved Dark Heavenly King."
Dark Heavenly King?!
Hearing this title, Chen Xiao almost spat out the hot tea he had just drunk.
This was too chuunibyou (delusions of grandeur). The last time he heard such a name was in a cartoon.
"Where is Tang Fei, where can I find him?"
Li Ziqing asked Jin Qianbao.
Li Ziqing would naturally not let go of someone who had designs on her so easily.
"I don't know either."
Jin Qianbao shook his head. "Tang Laoda is not like those traditional bosses. He is very mysterious and has no fixed abode. He doesn't personally appear in many things. More often, he is a behind-the-scenes operator."
"Although I work for him, I have never met him. He has always contacted me unilaterally."
"And I advise you, you should leave Imperial City as soon as possible. Although Tang Laoda is all-powerful in Imperial City, his influence is limited to Imperial City. As long as you return to Jiang City, he can't do anything to you."
"If you insist on finding trouble with him, believe me, you will regret it."
Jin Qianbao sincerely advised.
"Have you finished speaking? Is there anything else you want to say? Like, a last will and testament..."
Li Ziqing said nonchalantly.
"Ah? I've already said everything I know, you still don't plan to let me go...what do you want me to do to let me go..."
Jin Qianbao said despairingly.
"I gave you thirty seconds before, that was your last chance, but you didn't cherish it, so..."
Li Ziqing's meaning was self-evident.
But Jin Qianbao's anger rose from his heart, and evil grew in his guts. Seeing that Chen Xiao was some distance away from him, he suddenly jumped up and pounced on Li Ziqing.
This was his last chance. As long as he held Li Ziqing hostage, he would have a chance to survive...
"Huh, I clearly stood up, why is my line of sight constantly falling!"
This was the last thought in Jin Qianbao's mind, then he heard a 'clang' and he completely lost consciousness.
And that 'clang' sound was the sound of Jin Qianbao's head hitting the ground.
Even in death, Jin Qianbao didn't know what had happened.
But Li Zijian saw it clearly. He watched Jin Qianbao stand up, intending to act inappropriately towards Li Ziqing.
Then, almost at the same time, a cyan qi energy cut off his neck, and his head rolled to the ground.
And all of this was obviously done by Chen Xiao, who was sitting there drinking tea.
Originally, Li Zijian only thought Chen Xiao was very good at fighting.
Now, his view of Chen Xiao had changed again.
This was an immortal, an immortal who could kill invisibly.
Li Zijian had difficulty breathing. He felt like his neck was being strangled.
An invisible pressure squeezed his internal organs, making him want to vomit.
"Sister, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please, don't kill me..."
"Don't kill me, give me another chance, I don't want to die!"
"For the sake of my second uncle, spare me this once."
Li Zijian begged, tears streaming down his face.
He suddenly realized that although everyone's surname was Li, Li Ziqing's Li was clearly not the same Li as his.
Li Ziqing looked indifferently at this good-for-nothing who was related to her by blood, her heart as still as water.
"Stand up, wipe away your tears, I want to go back to the ancestral home!"
