Chapter 307 How many Chinese people have you sold?
307
"Close your eyes!" Tang Yue's voice was not loud, but all the Chinese people and Gu Yanxi heard it. Moreover, except for Gu Yanxi, all the Chinese people closed their eyes obediently.
Tang Yue's gaze swept over the pirates below, muttering something to herself as a powerful force gathered in her hands. Suddenly, she waved her hand, and a cyan light shot out, heading straight for the pirates.
The cyan light struck the first few pirates, instantly freezing them. No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't move an inch. The other pirates watched in horror. They had never seen such a powerful force before, and fear filled their hearts. They stopped dead in their tracks, not daring to take another step forward.
Tang Yue looked at the pirates' terrified expressions, her face expressionless. A cyan light continued to fall on the pirates, and they were immediately frozen.
Tang Yue rushed directly into the group of pirates and pulled out the leading pirate who had just come ashore. Then she grabbed the back of the pirate leader's collar and returned to their side.
None of the Chinese people showed any surprise on their faces. It seemed that everything Tang Yue was doing was very normal, and Tang Yue just had this ability.
Tang Yue looked at Gu Yanxi and said, "Why don't you go back to the boat and wait for me. I'll go back after I finish some things."
Wen Quan was still being carried by several people. He lowered his head in shame. There were a few people in the crowd who had difficulty walking. It was really a miracle that they could run so far with Tang Yue.
They knew that if it weren't for them, their benefactor wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. Now seeing that none of the pirates could move, they admired their benefactor from the bottom of their hearts and were grateful that he could see them.
Although Gu Yanxi wanted to follow Tang Yue, now was not the right time. If these people kept following them, there was no guarantee that they would be in danger. However, Gu Yanxi had not forgotten the pirate ships on the sea.
He wiped the dirt off his face and said, "Perhaps, we can't go back now."
Tang Yue looked up at him, and Gu Yanxi didn't keep her in suspense. "Those pirate ships at sea haven't returned yet. Also, our ship is outside the reef. If we want to get there at the same time, we need many small boats. Those we just saw, haha, may have disappeared."
Tang Yue also thought of this. She looked at the pirates who were stationary below. They were definitely unable to move. This location was on high ground, which was not bad.
"Leave them here first. Can you do it alone?"
Gu Yanxi raised his eyebrows at her, "I'm a man!"
Tang Yue didn't understand what he meant, but she could tell that Gu Yanxi was fine. Tang Yue didn't waste time. She remembered her most important things, and now that things were repeatedly delayed, she was very anxious.
Tang Yue grabbed the two pirates by the scruff of their necks and went down the cliff directly. In an open space, Tang Yue casually took out the truth serum from the space and popped it into the mouths of the two men.
After a while, their expressions changed.
"Tell me who you robbed?"
The pirate leader smiled, but his eyes were empty. "We'll rob anyone who passes through the Erdu Strait. It doesn't matter if you're a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman, no matter how capable you are, as long as we take a fancy to you, no one will be able to escape."
Another leader also said, "Many high-ranking Japanese officials have been killed by us, haha. And those wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families, none of them can escape."
Tang Yue's eyes were emotionless. "Where are the Chinese?"
"Chinese? Chinamen! Those aren't considered human beings, but they're still valuable. We sold all the ones we caught to various parties in Japan."
"No, there are some on the pirate island. Chinese women are really attractive, much more stubborn than Japanese women. But this is more interesting. Watching them resist and then taming them, that feeling, hehe..." His laughter was creepy, as if he was telling the ugliest thing in the world.
Tang Yue's fingers curled slightly, a storm brewing in her eyes, but she still forced herself to ask, "Who in Japan did you sell them to?"
The strong pirate answered quickly, "That's a lot. Most of the high-ranking officials in Japan have a few Chinese people in their families, so they can manipulate them at will."
The pirate leader continued, "There are places in Japan that specialize in researching pathogens, and they need a large number of Chinese people there. In addition, there are several major families in Japan that also have a great demand for Chinese people."
Tang Yue didn't expect this question to lead to such a result. "Be more specific."
The pirate leader shook his head. "We have a code for contacting each other, but we don't know the specifics. However, those contact people are very arrogant, and I can tell from their words."
"Tell me all the code words."
......
Tang Yue's hand clenched gently. After hearing the string of code words, Tang Yue didn't know how long it would take to go through all the code words. "Anything else about China?"
The leader rolled his eyes and said, "We are also responsible for delivering messages."
"Who are you delivering the message to?"
"A lot. As long as the price is right, we will spread any news."
"How many Chinese people have you sold?"
Another person answered quickly, "I haven't counted, but there must be at least a few thousand. If someone in Japan needs Chinese people, we will spread the word to China, and it won't be long before Chinese people are sent here for us."
Tang Yue's expression changed. She looked at the two of them seriously. "So, are there still people you didn't rob?"
The pirate leader said, "Yes! As long as some people pay enough tolls, we can still have business cooperation."
"Tell me about the Chinese people you are contacting."
The pirate leader spoke with a hint of disdain, "They're obviously not as smart as the Japanese families. They always try their best to curry favor with me and look down on the Chinese the most."
Tang Yue was also furious, but she held back. Some people had lost their conscience in pursuit of profit. "Tell me more."
The pirate leader remained silent, clearly not appreciating the Chinese. Another pirate spoke up, "We don't bother to know their names, but we do know where they come from."
.......
Tang Yue asked a lot of questions. They didn't say much about China, but they did a lot of harm to the Chinese. Tang Yue was originally planning to let some people go, but now she changed her mind.
Tang Yue didn't want to let any of those who had persecuted Chinese people go. She still remembered the Americans she had encountered in the waters of the South Island last time. Due to international pressure, China had no way to directly deal with these people.
Now, Tang Yue was no longer in China, no longer a Chinese soldier. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted. Furthermore, no one knew her, so she didn't need to swallow her anger for any international conventions.
There is no logic of big power here. If she sees any injustice, she can solve it herself.
After asking Tang Yue the questions she wanted to know, she prepared to take the two back. After all, Gu Yanxi had more interrogation experience than her, and perhaps he could get more information useful to China from these people.
Based on the principle of not wasting, Tang Yue plans to make secondary use of these two people.
Tang Yue was not far from the clifftop where Gu Yanxi and the others were. Her attention had just been on the two pirates, and she hadn't noticed the surrounding situation. Now that she was relaxed, she heard gunshots coming from the clifftop.
Tang Yue's consciousness immediately dissipated, and her body quickly rushed towards the top of the cliff.
Gu Yanxi didn't expect that even though the pirates below had been immobilized by Tang Yue, so many pirates still appeared.
The Chinese people discovered the presence of pirates and immediately told Gu Yanxi. Gu Yanxi immediately organized everyone to move stones from the top of the mountain and roll them down to prevent the pirates from coming up.
However, the pirates' reinforcements continued to pour in like a tide. They emerged from various hidden strongholds on the island, their weapons flashing coldly, their eyes revealing ferocity and greed.
These pirates had been doing evil on the sea for a long time and were all experienced in combat. They swiftly dodged the attacks of the stones.
Gu Yanxi was wondering where these people came from, but Tang Yue already knew.
The second in command brought three ships of pirates to the sea, waiting to chase and intercept Tang Yue and others. However, their battle went further and further in, and no one knew what was happening on the sea.
