Chapter 367: First Confrontation (Scenario 2)
pain.
it hurts.
Li Zheng struggled to open his eyes from the severe pain, but what he saw was not the infirmary, but a cramped and narrow dark room.
The dark room was very narrow, and I couldn't see my hand in front of me. There was no light at all. Once the door was closed, I felt like I was buried alive, and my heart sank.
The air around seemed to be stagnant, with a mixture of rust, mildew, and a faint smell of urine. Every time I took a breath, my lungs felt blocked.
Li Zheng couldn't help coughing a few times.
The shoulder that had been shot before was still aching slightly. Li Zheng took a deep breath and did not dare to act rashly.
After an unknown amount of time, a dazzling flashlight beam suddenly appeared in front of Li Zheng's eyes, and along with this beam of light, a cold and tall young man's figure also appeared.
"woke up?"
The boy's voice was filled with impatience.
"Um."
Li Zheng was dazzled by the light of the flashlight and squinted his eyes.
"Whose are you?"
Lu Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Li Zheng, who looked painful, with a raised eyebrow: "What is your purpose in approaching Master Xiao?"
"…Whose people are you talking about?"
Li Zheng sneered: "What the hell are you talking about?"
"You're still pretty stubborn."
Lu Yu chuckled.
He said he was "smiling", but there was no smile in his eyes.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the people on the ground.
The man named 'Li Zheng' looked to be in his twenties. The clothes he wore were not good or neat. Because he had blocked the bullet for Mr. Xiao before, his face was covered with countless dust, and his handsome face suddenly became dirty.
That’s right…
Li Zheng's shoulder was still bleeding.
Because they suspected that 'Li Zheng' was a spy sent by the enemy, the muzzle of his gun was simply bandaged. This bandaging method was rather rough and had no benefit to his condition. It could only barely ensure that he would not die.
"Brother Yu, why are you talking so much nonsense to him?"
The fat guy standing outside the darkroom couldn't wait any longer. He walked in and interrupted their conversation: "Just torture them."
...torture?
These two words entered Li Zheng's mind, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed through his heart.
Lu Yu didn't give Li Zheng much time to react. He said "hmm" coldly, which was considered as his approval of the fat boy's behavior, and then sat in the dark place between light and shadow.
Before Li Zheng could say anything, he heard a "buzz" and a super-powerful searchlight that could blind a person's eyes shone directly on his face without any warning.
It felt like someone had pressed a red-hot iron directly against his eyeball! Li Zheng suddenly closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. His vision was blood red! He subconsciously tried to block the blow with his hands, but his wrists snapped with a sudden, cold handcuff, which had been waiting there for a long time. He was handcuffed directly to an iron chair welded to the ground behind him.
"fuck your mother."
Li Zheng couldn't help but swear.
Lu Yu pulled a chair and sat at the edge of the dazzling halo behind the strong light. His face was hidden in the shadows and his expression could not be seen. Only his eyes were as cold as poisoned needles piercing Li Zheng's face.
"Show some respect to our brother Yu..."
The fat boy grabbed Li Zheng's hair, roughly turned his face straight, and aimed it at the damn bright light.
Li Zheng could only squint his stinging eyes, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Lu Yu, sitting in the dark, spoke softly, but like an icicle, it pierced through the hum of bright light and pierced Li Zheng's ears: "A Zheng?"
He looked at the name 'Ah Zheng' displayed on the profile and sneered, his voice filled with undisguised contempt. "That name is as cheap and rotten as a stray dog starving to death on the side of the road. What's your real name? Hmm?"
The last word "hmm" had an upward ending tone, carrying a biting chill.
Li Zheng's throat was dry and his voice became hoarse: "I... just... just call myself Ah Zheng..."
“Bang!”
A loud slap with the sound of wind hit Li Zheng's left cheek.
The opponent's force was so great that it made his head buzz and his cheek go numb instantly, followed by a burning pain.
A strong smell of rust filled Li Zheng's mouth.
"Bullshit!"
The fat kid who hit Li Zheng spitted all over his face. He asked impatiently, "Brother Yu wants to know your real name!"
Li Zheng twitched his lips but did not answer.
"Where did you hang out before? Which boss did you work for? How many lives did you take?"
Lu Yu's questions were like a barrage of cannonballs, bombarding him one after another. His tone was icy and ruthless, "Tell me everything clearly, one by one! If you miss a word, I'll chop off a finger!"
When he said the last sentence, the fat boy took out the dagger from his waist and threatened in a gloomy voice: "Use this dagger to chop it off."
Li Zheng endured the severe pain and dizziness, his mind racing, pouring out the "A Zheng resume" that was engraved in his bones.
Which port in Southeast Asia had he worked at before, which short-lived boss had he followed, and how many "dirty jobs" had he done...
Li Zheng tried his best to speak fluently, word by word.
But how could Lu Yu, who had become the second-in-command of the Shadow Group, have such a simple interrogation method? Every once in a while, Lu Yu would change his method and ask the same questions in reverse order.
For example, the question "Where are you hanging out?" might suddenly become "Which place in Cambodia does your boss protect you?" Or someone might suddenly interject, "Those three minutes before the Blood Wolf Gang attacked, were you squatting in the gutter biting your nails, taking a shit, or perhaps tipping off someone? Hmm?"
Lu Yu's tone was extremely harsh from beginning to end.
Li Zheng was extremely nervous. The fatigue from not sleeping for several days and nights and the severe pain from the strong light were tearing at his nerves.
