A heavy, stout figure was kicked and sent flying into the wall. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and then slid off the wall like a rag doll and fell to the ground.
My whole body felt like it had fallen apart, and I couldn't move for a long time.
But that wasn't the end of it; another tactic was used, a foot stomping hard on his back, targeting his weakest point.
The man's neck jerked back reflexively, and he felt pain in his flesh, bones, and internal organs all at once. The pain caused his whole body to spasm, veins to bulge on his forehead, and his face to turn bright red.
"Our general's wife disappeared right here, didn't she?"
The man stomping on people above had fox-like eyes with slightly curved corners. Even when he was torturing people, he still had a smile on his face, but in the eyes of other men, he looked like a man-eating demon, which was terrifying.
He coughed up blood and frothed at the mouth, desperately begging for mercy, "I...I'm sorry, I really didn't know, I really didn't know..."
If he had known that the woman was indeed the general's wife, he would never have dared to have any wicked ideas about her, even if he were beaten to death.

At this point, the murderous intent in Wei Yao's eyes was already clearly revealed, but it was suppressed by a hand.
"Wei Yao, calm down!" Wang Zebang rushed over.
"How can you expect me to stay calm?" He suddenly turned around, his face filled with a chilling ruthlessness, but also with regret and self-blame. "It was my negligence. I shouldn't have sent Madam alone. Now that Runtu has been assigned an important mission and left the camp, we should have sent someone else to accompany Madam. If something really happens to Madam this time..."
Wang Zebang also blamed himself, saying that they had been so busy lately that they were almost dizzy and hadn't had time to think about other issues.
Wang Zebang's brows furrowed into a deep "川" shape, but he said with certainty, "No, I just inspected the scene. Madam was probably taken away by someone, but not forcibly."
