I have heard that Du Zong's methods are extremely cruel. Not only did you completely scrape the face of a police informant, but you also want to cut off his manhood? I find your approach quite amusing.
I laughed as I rubbed a small knife back and forth across Du Tao's face, feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. Everyone knew about the incident when Du Tao had scarred my face, and I had imagined this moment while he was doing it. Achieving it today felt incredibly gratifying.
"What are you doing? What do you want, Lu Yan? I am the boss of Tian Ye Group! I am the leader of the Qing Gang branch! I haven’t violated any of Qing Gang's rules! You have no right to treat me this way!" Du Tao shouted at me, as if he had gone mad.
Indeed, Du Tao had not broken any rules; I had no right to treat him this way. If I truly scarred Du Tao's face or cut off his manhood, it would certainly cause a huge uproar within North Hongmen. That would be very detrimental to me.
But at this moment, I was too intoxicated by the situation; I was thoroughly enjoying Du Tao's screams!
"You know I don’t like hearing such things," I sneered as I pressed the knife against Du Tao's face. Bright red blood began to trickle down from his skin, and his eyes were filled with sheer terror.
"What do you want, Lu Yan? Do you realize the consequences of what you're doing? If I die, you won't be any better off!" Du Tao was genuinely frightened; I could see him trembling all over, his eyes brimming with fear.
Yet, I only laughed coldly and remained silent. I continued to slice!
I tried to make the wounds on Du Tao's face deeper! Besides his agonized screams, I could also hear the knife scraping against his facial bones.
"Ah! Lu Yan! Yan Shao Ye! I was wrong! I was wrong! Please don’t do this to me! Isn’t it enough that I admit my mistake?"
Du Tao realized that threatening me was futile and immediately began to plead for mercy. Looking into his terrified eyes, I smiled and said, "Why do I feel like you're not being sincere enough?"
"What do you want me to do? Just tell me!"
Du Tao seemed on the verge of madness; perhaps he had never been bullied like this in his life.
He deserved it!
That’s something you’ll have to figure out for yourself.
I chuckled coldly; it wasn’t yet time for me to take revenge for my father-in-law and Yue Qing. I couldn’t kill this bastard right now; it would only complicate matters and affect my future plans.
This scoundrel would undoubtedly die—just a matter of time!
Du Tao was held down by my men and remained silent for a while. Then, as if he had made some significant decision, he began to bang his head against the ground.
Kneeling to apologize?
Ha! Good! But it seems that sound is still not enough!
I laughed recklessly and wildly. If I were in Lu Yan's shoes, I would definitely enjoy this way of apologizing. But what if I were Xiang Dong?
I would like it even more!
Du Tao was helpless; I was the butcher, and he was the fish on the chopping block. He didn't dare to utter a word as he knelt.
I kept urging him to hit his head harder until he bled, even getting Xiao Hui to help press his head down!
Eventually, he collapsed onto the ground.
Father-in-law, Yue Qing, consider these few knocks on the head as gifts for you! May you see this, and may it bring you joy.
I had him splashed with water to wake him up. Du Tao opened his eyes, his face contorted in pain, and he even vomited—perhaps he had concussed himself from the knocks.
Yan Shao, just tell me what you want directly; I guarantee you will be satisfied!
Du Tao repeated this over and over; he was already terrified of me.
Alright, I won't waste any more breath. You probably won't tell me what I want to know even if it kills you, so I won't bother asking. It's better for me to investigate on my own. Recently, I've heard that you've been trying every means possible to get a woman out of the police station, right? I never heard before that Du Zong cared so much about a woman?
I asked with a smile, steering the conversation toward my original goal.
Du Tao froze for a moment after hearing this and then hurriedly replied: That's just one of my women; she got into some trouble and ended up inside. We have a pretty good relationship, so I planned to get her out.
Oh.
I acknowledged with a sound and continued asking: What did she do?
Du Tao was immediately at a loss for words; he couldn't answer that question. If he said Linna was brought in for attempting to stab him, wouldn't that mean he had issues with her?
Moreover, when I was with Qing Gang, I had investigated everything about Du Tao and Tian Ye Group. Du Tao was the executor who wiped out Tian Ye Group; he reported that the entire Lin family had been exterminated without a single survivor.
He must be afraid that Qing Gang would blame him for letting Linna go because of his feelings for her.
Can't say it, huh? Then let me say it for you. I heard this woman came back to assassinate you, right? And she just returned from abroad without any prior connection to you?
I questioned Du Tao, who fell silent and couldn't utter a word. We shared a common goal: protecting Linna's identity. Once her identity was exposed, Qing Gang would surely eliminate all threats; at that point, it would be difficult for me to protect her.
Yes, yes! She just returned from abroad; we were together before during college. I abandoned her, and she came back for revenge on me, so...
Du Tao began weaving a lie, but I interrupted him with a smile.
Why did she come back for revenge after all this time? Should I investigate your college life?
I smiled and asked, knowing all about his relationship with Linna. No matter what lies Du Tao might tell, I could easily expose them.
"Yan Shao, she's just a woman. I do have a bit of history with her, but it’s not important. There's really nothing for you to dig into!"
Du Tao said nervously. I couldn't tell if he was more anxious about Linna or himself; knowing Du Tao, it was probably the latter.
"Then why are you so nervous? If there's nothing to uncover, hand this woman over to me. Do you think I, as the Enforcement Hall Master, am just sitting here doing nothing?" I frowned.
"Uh...," Du Tao stammered, clearly in a difficult position. He didn't dare to hand Linna over to me.
I smiled with satisfaction and said, "Du Zong, your nervousness speaks volumes. This woman is mine now!"
With that, I turned and walked out of Du Tao's office. This way, my intention to retrieve Linna seemed justified; she would only be absolutely safe in my hands.
Once outside Du Tao's office, I dismissed the other subordinates from the Enforcement Hall, leaving only Zheng Yu behind. There were some things I could only discuss with Zheng Yu.
"Dong Ge, did you know? Just now, you looked a lot like your former self," Zheng Yu said with a smile in the car.
I knew Zheng Yu was reminding me that my reckless behavior resembled Xiang Dong's style.
In truth, there was no need to be so extreme with Du Tao. I could achieve the same effect without harming him; it was just that seeing him made me unable to control myself.
"Take me to see Linna," I said. It had been so long since I last saw her. I had promised myself to forget her, but now that I was about to meet her again, my heart was tumultuous.
The roads in Kyoto were congested, and the car moved slowly. I couldn't articulate my feelings; I didn’t know whether I wanted the car to arrive quickly or slowly.
I simply closed my eyes and leaned back in the seat, feeling anxious and unconsciously imagining what Linna looked like now. Memories of everything we had shared flooded back to me—from that night when I met the beautiful thief who had no money for food at the bar.
After some time, Zheng Yu drove us to the Kyoto South District Public Security Bureau. Linna was inside. Zheng Yu had already made arrangements with the higher-ups, so we were able to see Linna without any hindrance despite her being someone no one else could meet.
Linna seemed a bit tanned from being outside too long. Sitting in her cell, her pretty face bore a stubborn expression at all times. She looked up at Zheng Yu; her eyes narrowed slightly before shifting to me beside him.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Me? I'm Lu Yan."
