Chapter 39 Horrible Torture
Su Xing's eyes widened, with nothing but shock in his eyes.
Ye Linghan didn't blame him?
And it seems like she's looking down on him, but isn't this a kind of encouragement?
No, no, he was being a little too self-indulgent. How could Ye Linghan motivate him?
But this is already a great gift for him.
"It's not that I can't stand setbacks..." Su Xing lowered his eyes guiltily and said softly, "I just feel guilty. In such a critical situation, I also misled the direction of the investigation. It's all my fault..."
He knew that there would be detours in the investigation and it was inevitable, but he still felt guilty.
Maybe he is too young and has experienced too few cases.
"I'm glad you know." Ye Linghan's words sounded like a complaint, but his tone was neither light nor heavy, and even softer than usual.
Su Xing noticed this and his eyes were filled with surprise again, but Ye Linghan had already turned his gaze away and continued, "Then make up for your mistake, otherwise, I will settle both the old and new accounts!"
After hearing these words, Su Xing's restless heart suddenly cooled down as if a basin of cold water with ice was poured on it.
That’s what he said, how could Ye Linghan be so good?
Whatever, even if Ye Linghan didn't say anything, he would still do it well, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I will definitely do my best!"
In the Regent's Palace, the person that Ye Lingchen brought here has woken up after being treated by the doctor.
Ye Lingchen was afraid of causing trouble, so he did not interrogate him.
Tianyi didn't dare to interrogate him without permission, he just kept the man under guard.
When Ye Linghan entered the room, he saw two men, one standing and one sitting, with their four eyes staring at the person on the couch like hawks.
Hearing the footsteps, they both turned around at the same time, and then Ye Lingchen stood up.
Ye Linghan raised his hand to interrupt the two people's greetings, walked straight to the side of the couch, and looked down at the "gift" that Ye Lingchen had brought him.
"Who ordered you to kill people?" Ye Linghan's tone was gloomy and cold, making people shiver.
The person on the couch tensed up instantly, fear showed on his face, but his lips were tightly pursed.
He did not deny Ye Linghan's accusation, which means he was the murderer.
Ye Linghan's eyes flashed with cold light, and his tall and straight body suddenly burst out with a terrifying momentum: "You won't tell me?"
The person on the couch trembled, and then as if a switch was pressed, he could no longer control his shaking, and his lips, which were originally tightly pursed, had to open because of the shaking of his body.
Su Xing and the others were also frightened by this terrifying pressure and shrank their necks unconsciously.
Ye Linghan's emotions did not fluctuate at all because of the man's stubbornness, and his expression was still as cold and ruthless.
He stared at the man for a moment, then suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed the man's neck!
The man was stunned, and then his face turned red.
He opened his mouth wide and tried to shout, but no sound came out.
Tianyi seemed to be used to it, and Ye Lingchen was also familiar with this kind of scene, and both of them looked relatively calm.
Su Xingke could no longer remain calm. He even recalled the scene when Ye Linghan strangled him. The feeling of terror and suffocation instantly spread throughout his body.
This was torture. He didn't agree with it intellectually, but he didn't dare to object. After all, this was not his previous world.
Ye Linghan suddenly let go of his hand when the man was about to die. The man paused for a moment, and then started coughing violently because a large amount of air suddenly entered his lungs.
After coughing for a while, his face slowly changed from purple to red, and his breathing became smoother.
At this moment, Ye Linghan reached out his hand again.
The man had no time to react before he was surrounded by the horrible feeling of suffocation again. His eyes widened and bloodshot burst in them, soon turning red.
Su Xing couldn't help but gasp... This is... too cruel...
He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ye Linghan, and the fear in his heart suddenly surged like a wave.
Is Ye Linghan a human being? Why is he still so calm at this moment? He is pinching a person's neck in his hand... Even if he is killing a chicken, his expression cannot be so calm, right?
Su Xing was still trapped in endless fear and unable to extricate himself, when he suddenly heard a violent cough, even more violent than before, as if the cough was going to cough out all his internal organs.
Su Xing immediately turned his gaze back and saw that the man's face was full of pain, and there was even a look of pleading for relief in his eyes.
For him, the most terrifying thing is not death. After all, his life is cheap, so it doesn't matter if he dies.
What is terrible is this kind of double torture of body and mind, especially the person who tortured him...
"Kill...kill...me..." He wailed in pain. If possible, he would like to commit suicide, but he was so weak that he couldn't even do it.
Ye Linghan did not speak from beginning to end, but just quietly observed the man's face. As long as the man regained a trace of life, he would pinch him hard again, and then let go when he was about to die, and repeat this...
Finally, the man couldn't stand it anymore, and after Ye Linghan let him go again, he collapsed and yelled: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
After the violent gasping and coughing, Ye Linghan did not reach out his hand again, but just watched coldly.
"Yes...it's Marquis Mu Yuan..."
This answer was not surprising. After all, Marquis Mu Yuan had already admitted to treason. What Ye Linghan wanted to know was more about Marquis Mu Yuan: "How long have you followed him?"
"Five years..."
Five years?
A cold light flashed in Ye Linghan's eyes. Someone of Mu Yuanhou's status didn't need to train killers, unless there was some conspiracy.
But he actually started planning it five years ago...
Ye Linghan suppressed his anger and continued to ask: "Tell me everything you know about Marquis Mu Yuan."
The man pursed his lips again after hearing this, but gave up after a while: "The Marquis adopted many orphans like me, and then found someone to train us. Since last year, the Marquis has given us tasks from time to time, sometimes killing, sometimes tracking, and sometimes kidnapping."
The man's voice was full of helplessness and sadness, because he didn't want to do these things, but he had no choice...
"We only know that the Marquis has an important task to do. We don't know what it is, but the Marquis once said that after the task is completed, we will be treated the same as the palace guards..."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. This Marquis Mu Yuan really wanted to be the emperor!
Ye Linghan's face was gloomier than ever before, and it could be seen that his anger had reached its peak, but he did not flare up. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Who is the person who trained you?"
The person who can train such a professional killer in just a few years is definitely not an ordinary person.
Often this kind of talent...
A look of fear suddenly appeared on the man's face, as if he had thought of something extremely terrible.
But to him, Ye Linghan is still more terrifying.
So he paused for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "He didn't tell us his name, but I once heard the Marquis call him...Wuxin..."
