“Shattered into ten thousand pieces, bones crushed to dust?” Li Feng sneered coldly upon hearing this, a flash of disdain in his eyes. “Liu Dongjian, do you really think you can leave safely after falling into my hands? Kill you? Killing you would be letting you off too easily. I will make you understand that death is a luxury.”
“You…” Liu Dongjian’s face changed. If anyone else said such words, he would dismiss them with contempt, but Li Feng was different. He always felt that Li Feng was truly capable of doing it.
“Liu Dongjian, once you are in my hands, you probably won’t even have the chance to bite your tongue and kill yourself.” Li Feng looked at Liu Dongjian with a chilling gaze, stepped forward, and patted Liu Dongjian’s body several times.
“Li Feng, you…” Liu Dongjian wanted to say something, but a pain that was hard to endure suddenly spread through his body. It felt like insects were biting his five internal organs, causing cold sweat to pour from him and making him suffer unbearably.
“Relax. You will experience this feeling several times every day.” Li Feng’s gaze remained icy cold. He wanted to inquire about the forces behind the four major families. Last time, Liu Shichao knew something, but at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel, Liu Shichao died inexplicably. So this time, having captured Liu Dongjian, Li Feng was determined to get answers no matter what.
However, Li Feng also knew that it would not be easy to get clear information from someone like Liu Dongjian. If he asked directly from the start, not only would he fail to obtain the intelligence he wanted, but he would also likely be insulted by Liu Dongjian.
Therefore, Li Feng decided not to follow common sense. He began torturing Liu Dongjian right away, planning to question him only after Liu Dongjian’s spirit collapsed.
Of course, Li Feng had another method, which was to use the God Control Technique to control Liu Dongjian. Then, whatever he wanted to know, Liu Dongjian would tell him honestly.
But Li Feng felt there was no need to waste a slot on Liu Dongjian. Including Lu Xiong, he had already used the God Control Technique on eight people, leaving only two slots remaining. He did not want to use those two slots lightly.
His current divine sense cultivation was at the early stage of Innate Realm Level One. He did not know whether the number of people he could control would increase when his divine sense reached Innate Realm Level Two. If not, he would have to cultivate his divine sense to the Earth Martial Realm before the number of slots increased.
For Li Feng, Liu Dongjian’s only value was to provide information about the strength behind the four major families. Once he got what he wanted, Liu Dongjian’s fate was death.
Of course, if the God Control Technique had no restrictions, Li Feng would not be stingy with a slot. Unfortunately, the God Control Technique had major limitations. However, if such a heaven-defying technique had no restrictions at all, would the world not fall into chaos?
“You… you… will… not… die… a… good… death…” Liu Dongjian glared at Li Feng with a gloomy face. His speech was intermittent, clearly showing that the immense pain made it impossible for him to speak a full sentence, even twisting his entire face.
“Whether I die a good death or not is not something you, Liu Dongjian, need to worry about. Now, just stay here and enjoy this feeling of living worse than death.” Li Feng sneered coldly, then said to Zhong Shuhui and Lu Xiong, “Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
A trace of coldness flashed in Zhong Shuhui’s eyes. This was the first time she had seen Li Feng’s torture methods, but the effect was the best she had ever witnessed. Zhong Shuhui felt that this kind of torture technique was quite good and very suitable for her Eagle Eye organisation.
It seemed that when the opportunity arose, she should learn this torture method from Li Feng. Zhong Shuhui made up her mind in her heart.
After leaving the iron cell, Zhong Shuhui asked, “Young Master, shall we go see Situ Qiang and Li Wu next?”
“No, I have no interest.” Li Feng shook his head. He did not want to see Li Wu, nor Situ Qiang. They were different from Liu Dongjian.
When leaving the underground boxing arena, Li Feng said to Lu Xiong, “Lu Xiong, stay here. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter.”
“Yes.”
Li Feng took Zhong Shuhui back to the main hall of Tianya Pavilion.
“Now it is time to meet Situ Lei. I want to see what Situ Lei will say this time.” A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
“Young Master, meeting Situ Lei is not urgent. There is another matter that needs your attention right now.” Zhong Shuhui had just received a phone call. She turned to Li Feng and said.
“Oh, what is it?” Li Feng asked.
“Young Master, we just received news that Fang Xiao is dead.” Zhong Shuhui said in a deep voice.
“Fang Xiao is dead?” Li Feng was stunned. Fang Xiao was the mole inside Fengyuan Group. She had been captured by Dark Tiger last night and locked up in Fengyuan Group. When Li Feng returned to Tianya Pavilion, he had forgotten about her. He did not expect her to die.
“When did it happen? How did she die?” Li Feng asked in a deep voice.
“It was suicide.” Zhong Shuhui replied.
“Suicide. She got off too easily.” Li Feng snorted coldly. Among those who had fought alongside Hu Yuanyuan, apart from Xu Qing, Huangfu Wei and Fang Xiao were the founding members of the company. When the mole appeared this time, Li Feng had originally suspected Huangfu Wei, but it turned out to be Fang Xiao.
After all, during the meeting at Fengyuan Group that day, Li Feng had thought it was Huangfu Wei because her behaviour that day was extremely suspicious.
Fang Xiao was in charge of the finance department and had always been more important in Hu Yuanyuan’s heart than Huangfu Wei and Xu Qing. After all, in any place, control over finances was the most crucial. Yet even Hu Yuanyuan probably never imagined that Fang Xiao, the head of finance, would turn out to be the company’s mole.
Why did Fang Xiao betray the company? For whom did she betray the company? This was the most important question. Unfortunately, now that Fang Xiao was dead, investigating it had become much more difficult.
“Have we thoroughly investigated Fang Xiao’s background?” Li Feng asked in a deep voice.
“We are currently investigating again.” Before the previous press conference at Fengyuan Group, Zhong Shuhui had already investigated all employee profiles of the company, and Fang Xiao was naturally included. At that time, Fang Xiao had shown no problems whatsoever. Now that something had happened with Fang Xiao, Zhong Shuhui naturally no longer trusted the previous investigation results.
However, re-investigating Fang Xiao and finding out why she betrayed Fengyuan Group was a troublesome matter, especially now that Fang Xiao was already dead.
“Then investigate slowly. This matter is not urgent.” In Li Feng’s eyes, Fang Xiao was merely a small insect. If she had not tried to steal the core technology of Intelligent Number One, she would not even be worth paying attention to.
But now that Fang Xiao was dead, Fengyuan Group could return to normal operations. Hu Yuanyuan and the others could also leave the hospital.
“Young Master, we must take Fang Xiao’s matter seriously. It is obvious that Fang Xiao was bought off by someone. If there is a first time, there will be a second. If this kind of situation keeps happening one after another, it will become a major problem for us.” Zhong Shuhui said gravely.
“You are right.” Li Feng’s expression became somewhat serious. Zhong Shuhui’s words sounded an alarm in his heart. Although Fang Xiao’s betrayal was hateful, why did Fang Xiao betray them? Although Li Feng had not interacted much with Fang Xiao, from the limited contact he had, Fang Xiao did not seem like the type of person who changed sides easily. The reason for her betrayal was probably something else.
After all, his current enemies were not ordinary people. Dealing with an ordinary person was extremely easy for them. Fang Xiao was likely one of their victims.
Moreover, such things were impossible to guard against completely. Fengyuan Group was growing bigger and bigger, and he could not possibly have someone protect every single employee of the company at all times.
“Zhong Shuhui, do you have any good ideas?” Li Feng asked.
Zhong Shuhui shook her head. She was skilled at gathering intelligence, but she had no solution for this kind of problem.
“Young Master, you can ask the Young Madam. Perhaps the Young Madam has a way to solve it.” Zhong Shuhui thought for a moment and said.
“Hu Yuanyuan!” A light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes as he noted it in his heart.
“Peak Young Master, Peak Young Master…” At that moment, Situ Lei’s voice came from ahead. Li Feng was slightly surprised. It seemed Situ Lei could not wait any longer and had run out of the room.
“Uncle Lei, why have you come to Tianya Pavilion?” Li Feng asked with a look of surprise on his face.
Situ Lei’s mouth twitched. Li Feng surely knew he had come to Tianya Pavilion, yet he was pretending to be ignorant in front of him. It seemed today’s matter would not be easy to resolve.
“Peak Young Master, I came to apologise to you.” Although he felt some dissatisfaction in his heart, Situ Lei still spoke seriously.
“Apologise? Uncle Lei, what do you mean? Apologise for what? Why apologise?” Li Feng still looked completely puzzled.
“Peak Young Master, I am here to apologise to you on behalf of my family’s young master.” Situ Lei said in a deep voice.
“Situ Qiang?” Upon hearing this, Li Feng’s face darkened. He looked coldly at Situ Lei and said, “So, Uncle Lei, you are now representing the Situ family?”
“Yes.” Situ Lei nodded.
“The Situ family. Hmph. I am very disappointed in the Situ family. If Uncle Lei came today just to drink with me, I would welcome it very much. But since Uncle Lei is representing the Situ family and came for Situ Qiang, then I am sorry. Please go back, Uncle Lei.” Li Feng snorted coldly and turned to leave.
“Peak Young Master, Peak Young Master, this matter is our Situ family’s fault. As long as you release my family’s young master, anything can be negotiated.” Situ Lei quickly stopped Li Feng. He had already waited for Li Feng all morning. Now that he finally saw Li Feng, he naturally did not want him to leave at this moment.
“Anything can be negotiated? What a great ‘anything can be negotiated’. Is this what the Situ family is like? Uncle Lei, anyone who does something must pay a price. The same goes for Situ Qiang. He may be the young master of your Situ family, but the fact that he wanted to kill me is true. Do you think I will release him just because of a few words from you? What do you take me, Li Feng, for?” Li Feng sneered coldly.
“Peak Young Master, the young master was young and ignorant, so he made a mistake. Please show mercy and release my family’s young master.” Situ Lei said helplessly.
Li Feng sneered with disdain. Young and ignorant? If young and ignorant could lead to trying to kill him, then if he were not young and ignorant, would he have tried to exterminate his entire family?
Seeing that Situ Lei still wanted to say something, Li Feng snorted coldly and said, “Enough. I call you Uncle Lei to give you face, but if you want me to release Situ Qiang, let me tell you, there is no way.”
