Chapter 112 Mutual Biting
The hall was deathly silent.
No one dared to speak; even their breathing became shallow.
All eyes were fixed on Brother Long.
The man who had just been so eloquent, spouting off generals and leaders, trying to use his connections and money to smooth things over, was now slumped there like a lump of mud. His chin was at a bizarre, inhuman angle, his mouth was wide open, and blood and saliva mixed with broken teeth were dripping uncontrollably down, staining the front of his expensive shirt filthy.
He didn't die.
But in those wide-open eyes, besides the excruciating pain, there was only the fear of having one's dignity and will utterly crushed.
He suddenly understood that she was only trying to destroy them, and that money and power were useless to her.
What general? What leader? What powerful connections? In the face of those who have no desires and only want to die, they are as fragile as a joke.
Finally, the henchman with the weakest psychological defenses completely broke down.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"
He was like a fish pulled ashore, desperately twisting his bound body, his voice shrill and distorted with fear.
"It's Brother Kun! It's him! That woman on the third floor, begging to call home, it was Brother Kun! He slapped her across the face, and her ear started bleeding right away! He even said he'd cut her tongue out if she said another word!"
Kun, the small-time leader whose teeth had been pulled out by Zhou Jue, was called out by name, and he shuddered.
He wanted to curse the subordinate who betrayed him, but when he saw Brother Long's miserable state, all the harsh words stuck in his throat, turning into a series of indistinct trembling words.
"No...it wasn't me...it was Brother Leopard..."
"Bullshit! Brother Kun, you did it yourself, and you're trying to pin it on me?" another burly man in the crowd roared.
"Who led the group that broke the leg and dragged that college student who ran away? Wasn't it you?! You even bragged to us that listening to the sound of bones breaking was the most satisfying thing!"
"It's you! It's you who loves to stab people in the kidneys with a stun gun!"
"You even shoved a head down the toilet!"
......
Once someone starts, this ugly gate can never be closed again.
The will to survive overwhelmed all "morality" and "rules".
The hall instantly transformed into a noisy, bustling market.
They accused and denounced each other, desperately pushing others to the front, trying to prove that the blood on their hands was a tiny bit cleaner than that of their "brothers."
Each accusation is accompanied by a bloody detail, revealing the evils that once occurred in this hell.
Zhou Jue just listened quietly.
She didn't speak up or stop them, just coldly watched these wild beasts tearing at each other, revealing their most primitive and ugly fangs.
Just then, Cheng Gan's figure appeared silently at the entrance of the hall.
She nodded slightly to Zhou Jue.
Zhou Jue understood that those seriously injured compatriots had their lives temporarily spared.
I breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Sister Cheng Gan," Zhou Jue's voice rang directly in Cheng Gan's mind.
"Go to the seventh floor, to Kun's office, and copy all their criminal evidence, transaction records, chat logs, and surveillance footage." This was what Kun's assistant revealed during their mutual accusations earlier.
Cheng Gan paused for a moment, then accepted the order and disappeared silently back into the stairwell.
The "criticism meeting" in the hall had entered a heated phase.
That's enough.
Zhou Jue's clear, cold voice, though not loud, was like an ice blade, instantly cutting off all the noise.
The hall fell silent again.
Those villains who had just been vehemently accusing each other were now ashen-faced, their bodies trembling violently with fear.
They knew that the moment of judgment had arrived.
"Since you all enjoy telling stories so much..."
"Then let's do it one at a time."
An invisible gust of wind was directed at the skinny monkey who had initially collapsed and screamed.
"You go first."
The skinny monkey trembled all over, like a poor student being called on by the teacher to answer a question, and all the color drained from his face.
"I...I said...Great Immortal...what did I say?" he said, his voice trembling with sobs. His crotch was already soaked and emitted a foul stench.
"What did you say?" Zhou Jue's voice seemed to be right next to his ear: "Tell me how you tricked people into coming here. Recite your script to me word for word."
The skinny monkey was stunned.
He hadn't expected that this was what the other party wanted to hear.
"Speak quickly," the cold voice urged.
"Yes...yes..." The skinny monkey didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly recited the words he already knew by heart, stammering out the words.
"Dude, still struggling in China? Come here! High-paying jobs in Southeast Asia, starting at 30,000 RMB a month, including airfare, food, and accommodation. All you do is play games and chat with clients. Good performance gets you commission..."
He recited it while crying, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
He had said these words to countless young people on the other side of the screen, people full of dreams for the future.
With these honey-sweet lies, he personally pushed his compatriots one by one into this abyss of no return.
Now, these words, spoken by him, are like a boomerang, piercing him and drawing blood.
"very good."
After he finished reciting, Zhou Jue's voice rang out again.
"Next, you."
The invisible finger pointed at the burly man known as "Brother Leopard".
"Tell me how you 'train' new employees."
Leopard's face instantly turned even more ashen than a dead man's.
His so-called "training" involves using electric batons, whips, hunger, and endless verbal abuse to completely destroy the dignity and will of a normal person, turning them into "animals" who only obey orders and frantically swindle money.
"I...I..." Leopard stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap rang out, even louder than the one that had landed on Kun's face earlier!
Leopard was sent flying sideways by the blow, crashing into the wall and rolling to the ground, losing most of his teeth.
"It seems you don't want to talk about it."
Zhou Jue's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"No! I'll talk! I'll talk!" Leopard Brother lay on the ground, ignoring the blood in his mouth, and frantically kowtowed.
“I said! When new recruits arrive, the first step is to confiscate their cell phones and cut off all contact with the outside world! Then lock them in a dark room and starve them for three days and three nights! Anyone who resists is dragged out and shocked with an electric baton in front of everyone! Until they kneel down and beg for mercy!”
He spoke quickly and in great detail, as if only in this way could he atone for his sins and gain a glimmer of hope.
One by one, Zhou Jue called on people one by one.
Someone was in charge of explaining how to beat and abuse the victim.
Someone was responsible for explaining how to film the abuse and then use it to threaten the victim's family.
Someone was responsible for explaining how those who were tortured to death or drained of their blood were thrown into the mass grave in the back mountain like garbage.
Every confession tells a story of the tragic experiences of innocent people.
Each account makes the crimes within this building more concrete and more shocking.
Just then, Cheng Gan returned.
She held a portable hard drive in her hand and nodded again at Zhou Jue.
All the electronic evidence is in hand.
There are witnesses and physical evidence.
She looked at this group of scum who, in order to survive, were scrambling to betray their companions and even taking pride in and exaggerating the crimes they had committed to claim credit.
She confirmed it.
None of them are innocent.
None of them deserve to be forgiven.
"very good."
Zhou Jue uttered two words softly, but they sounded like the final pronouncement of death.
“Your ‘stories’ are all very well told.”
"As a reward..."
She paused for a moment: "I've decided to make all of you the protagonists of this story."
"Let's start with you."
Zhou Jue's gaze fell on Leopard Brother, who had just given a detailed description of how to use the stun gun.
"Didn't you say that the most satisfying thing is listening to bones break?"
