Chapter 72: The Tyrant Returns... Again! (6000 words)

  Chapter 72: The Tyrant Returns... Once More!

  A dark, damp dungeon, filled with a pungent stench of rot and blood, the foul odor growing more nauseating as the frequency of the whip's lashings increased.

  The dungeon's lighting was very dim, with only one old-fashioned pendant lamp hanging desolately in mid-air.

  Twenty bodyguards stood in two rows at the entrance of the dungeon, vigilantly watching both inside and outside.

  Huang Pu sat on a black leather sofa, leaning lazily against the backrest, his long legs crossed, and due to his deep facial features, almost no one in the room could see the expression on his face.

  At his feet, several men knelt on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen with blood, shivering with fear, not daring to look up at the man whose aura was as cold as ice and whose presence was as majestic as a rainbow.

  Huang Pu's aura is powerful, making it hard for people to even breathe under pressure.

  "Your lord..." One of the men was about to speak, but before he could finish, Shuǐ Miǎo slapped him and kicked him at the same time. The man fell to the ground, spitting out big mouthfuls of blood, which dripped onto the damp and moldy floor in a steady stream.

  At this sight, Shui Man burst out scolding: "What's wrong with you? My third brother didn't let you speak, how dare you speak? Don't you want your tongue?"

  "We didn't lie to you, we're really..." Another man started speaking, but before he could finish, Mokuzen kicked him heavily in the cheek.

  "Third Brother didn't let you speak, shut up!!" Musen warned fiercely.

  Huangfu Yu sat on the sofa, not uttering a word, seemingly having not heard the two men's conversation, but instead focusing on the amber-colored liquid in the wine cup in his hand, and listening to the sound of the whip cracking through the air, tearing flesh.

  On the opposite wall, an iron cross was bound with a man whose clothes were tattered and torn, his back lashed with scars, and his skin cracked open.

  Two bodyguards, holding leather whips, without receiving an order from Huangfu Yu to stop, used all their strength and whipped the man with one lash after another.

  Whoa——!!

  Huang Pu gave a loud clap, and the whip cracked in response.

  "This is your last chance, speak the truth and I'll spare your life!" Huangfu Yu muttered indifferently.

  The man bound to the cross, upon hearing this, immediately became arrogant: "Huangfu Yu, are you tired of drawing? Have the ability to continue drawing ah, huh ~, even if I'm drawn to death, it won't change the fact that Su Jingya is my wife!"

  Chen Jinwei's face was arrogant.

  Jin Xin's face turned red with rage as he strode forward, his hand grasping the other man's wrist. "If you don't spit out the truth and reveal the true mastermind behind the plot to harm my third brother," he hissed through gritted teeth, "I'll snap your neck right now!"

  Jin Xin's eyes were cold and stern. The latest investigation results: the signing scene of 'Lihai' resort, that premeditated accident was manipulated by this man named Chen Jinwei alone, and the result of Dongfang Yan's investigation was also the same.

  However, a man like Chen Jinwei simply did not have the ability to orchestrate that accident with one hand, let alone avoid the meticulous inspections of both Dongfang Group and their counterparts.

  There must be people behind.

  Not to mention Huangfu Yu, even they could feel that there was a powerful and terrifying force lurking in the shadows, subtly manipulating them, as if their every move was familiar to each other.

  If it's not investigated immediately and eradicated at once, the consequences will be unthinkable.

  "Hmph, you want to know? I won't say!" Chen Jinwei sneered with a smile, looking at Jin Xin and raising an eyebrow at everyone present, his arrogant tone clearly saying: I won't say it even if I die, see what you can do about it.

  After hearing his words, Huangfu Yu finally had a reaction, faintly raising his head, with profound and sharp eyes, like a sharp sword, staring at him.

  "Are you sure you won't say?" he asked in a low, pleasant voice.

  "Hmph!!" Chen Jinwei sneered coldly.

  Huang Pu's lips curled up in a cold smile, "You do have some backbone, I'd like to see just how long you can keep it up!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Yu turned around and ordered Zhao Yi: "Bring in my treasure!"

  "Yes, Third Brother!" Zhao Yi's expression didn't change from start to finish, but in his heart he was already fed up with Chen Jinwei and would have liked to go forward and kick him in the head.

  How dare you scold him in front of his three brothers?!

  He's so annoying that I wish he wouldn't even bother living in his next life.

  Having received the order, Zhao Yi turned around and left the dungeon. When he came in again, there were ten special soldiers behind him, each holding a sturdy and powerful creature with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

  Chen Jinwei's face changed when he saw that thing, and his arrogant momentum dropped a lot.

  What made him change color was not a lion, but a Tibetan Mastiff that was just as majestic.

  Huang Pu's eyes narrowed as he saw Chen Jinwei's change in expression, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth: "My dear babies, your teeth are so sharp, I don't have the leisure to waste time with you, I don't want to die in pieces, immediately confess honestly!"

  Chen Jinwei was not afraid of whips or the ten most severe punishments, but he was uniquely afraid of animals that bite, especially Tibetan Mastiffs. If one were to take a bite, his hands and feet would definitely be gone.

  However, since the task was not completed, even if he managed to escape from prison alive, he would not live for more than two days.

  He swallowed hard, his tone softened a bit, but still very tough: "I really don't know what you want me to confess! What I should say, I've already said. Su Jingya is my wife, and seeing her next to Yu Shao made me anxious, so I planned to get rid of my love rival at the signing scene, but I never expected that damn woman knew my plan and still rushed up."

  "Nonsense!" Zhao Yi suddenly roared, "You keep spouting nonsense, be careful I'll set the dogs on you! If you really have a relationship with Su Jingya and want to eliminate your love rival, how could you possibly let Su Jingya know? And if Su Jingya knew in advance, how could she not tell my third brother in advance?"

  "If I had no relationship with Su Jingya, not even a bit, and she didn't know of my existence, how could she possibly rush to the scene to push away Yu Shao?" Chen Jinwei's eyes widened, his expression somewhat distorted. "That woman is so cunning, worried that if the child is born and it's discovered he's not Yu Shao's, yet she doesn't dare get rid of the child and shake up the position of the young mistress of the Huangfu family. So she seized this opportunity to take a gamble, eliminating evidence while also making Yu Shao feel guilty towards her!"

  "I had seen her at the scene, but I didn't know she was so ruthless, killing our child to climb up the rich!" Chen Jinwei shouted angrily, "Don't let me see that woman again, otherwise, I'll beat her up every time I see her!"

  "So you caught Sun Qingkong, what's the reason?" Shui Miao heard his words and felt extremely angry in her heart. He had said it before that Su Jingya was a scourge, with an unclear origin, deep and mysterious, but he didn't expect it to be so vicious.

  "Take her away! Humph, just wait till I get back to America, and see how I'll deal with her!" Chen Jinwei sneered coldly.

  Huang Pu Yu was just quietly listening on the side, when Chen Jin Wei shouted that he wanted to see Su Jing Ya, he coldly spoke again: "I'll give you one last chance!"

  There wasn't a single flaw, all the explanations were too smooth, so smooth that he always felt something was off.

  "I've already said everything I should say, even if you set a Tibetan mastiff on me now, there's nothing I can do about it!" Chen Jinwei said indignantly in a loud voice, with a sense of resignation to death.

  Huang Pu's expression turned cold as he smiled and asked in return: "Are you certain?"

  Seeing Chen Jinwei not speaking, he gritted his teeth and ordered Zhao Yi: "First let my two treasures go up and play the game!"

  "Yes!!" Zhao Yi had long wanted to let the dog loose, and had long wanted to bite that man who was full of nonsense into pieces, so he wouldn't spread rumors again.

  Su Jingya, how could she possibly have an affair with him? How could she be such a shameless woman?

  He firmly believed that rather than listening to others' rumors, it's better to believe in what he saw and heard. The Su Jingya he saw and understood was a very simple and kind-hearted woman.

  He chose two of the strongest Tibetan Mastiffs, and Zhao Yi gave a signal to the special forces, who immediately led the dogs forward. The Tibetan Mastiffs, seeing their prey, let out a long, excited howl.

  Chen Jinwei forced himself to calm down and told himself it was nothing, but when he saw the Tibetan Mastiff barking and rushing towards him with its teeth bared, he was still scared out of his wits. His previous courage had all been thrown away like trash. He shouted in terror and begged: "Your Honor, Your Honor, I'm really not joking! I have evidence, I have evidence to prove my relationship with Su Jingya, and right now I can immediately call my brother to let Sun Qingping go unharmed!"

  "Your Honor, spare my life!! Don't let the Tibetan mastiff bite me! I really have evidence, I really do!!"

  "The evidence is on me!!"

  ……

  Zhao Yi and Jin Mu Si looked at each other, then simultaneously cast their eyes towards Huang Fu Yu.

  They clearly saw Huangfu Yu's face turn pale, blacken, and finally turn completely black.

  Huangfu Yuchen remained silent for a while before allowing Zhao Yi to step forward. Zhao Yi furrowed his brow, turned around and stepped forward, asking in a low voice, "What's this so-called evidence?"

  Before being subjected to severe torture, they had been searched thoroughly from head to toe and didn't have anything on them.

  Chen Jinwei's gaze was fixed on the Tibetan Mastiff beside him, his legs went soft, and even the smile at the corner of his mouth trembled violently: "There is a chip hidden... hidden..."

  Zhao Yi had his bodyguard remove the chip from his buttocks, washed it N times with water, disinfected it N times, and finally inserted it into the computer for Huang Fu Yu.

  Shui Miao found out that Chen Jinwei had hidden the chip, and suddenly his face turned black with rage. He stepped forward, slapping Chen Jinwei's face repeatedly, gritting his teeth in praise: "Ah, not bad! Good kid, you're really good at hiding!"

  Chen Jinwei smiled humbly, but before the smile had even appeared, Shui Miao's poisonous palm struck him repeatedly, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

  "Why hide it there? It's better to upgrade and hide a micro-bomb instead?"

  Chen Jinwei's face was ashen, and he wailed loudly, begging his father to tell his grandmother.

  Huangfu Yuzhi stared coldly at the notebook in front of him, his long fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

  This is his last hope.

  He kept telling himself that what he saw that night was fake, and it must have been an illusion or someone impersonating Su Jingya.

  So today he had to go to great lengths to interrogate Chen Jinwei.

  But...

  If the evidence in the chip can really prove that Su Jingya cheated on him from start to finish, what should he do?

  Su Jingya, how can you be like this?

  Huang Pu hesitated for a long time before finally opening his computer and printing out the file.

  Open.

  His dark eyes, as deep as a cold pool, stared at the computer without blinking, watching as the photos flashed by one after another, his pupils suddenly deepening to an even darker shade.

  The file ended with a video recording, and Huangfu Yu didn't watch it at all before shutting it off.

  The reason is simple, because it's an unbearable video recording.

  In today's society, between husbands and wives, intimate lovers, it's probably no surprise that they make this kind of video.

  Huang Pu's expressionless face stood up from the leather chair, coldly instructing: "Destroy the chip. If anyone dares to spread it out, kill - no - pardon! Also, cut off his fingers for me, remember not one by one, but a little bit at a time!"

  Thinking of his hand touching Su Jingya's body, he hated it so much that he wanted to chop it off.

  As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the dungeon.

  And Jinmu, Shuihuo, and Zhao Yi, after reading the contents of the file, furrowed their brows deeply: Oh my god, these are photos of Su Jingya and Chen Jinwei getting married in the US, as well as photos taken during their daily lives. The date on them is four years ago...

  And it's absolutely impossible for this photo to be computer-generated.

  On his way back to the Huangfu's residence, Huangfu sat in the extended Lincoln car, speechless, constantly pouring whiskey and drinking cup after cup.

  Zhao Yi and Jin Mu Shui Huo sat on the side, seeing Huang Fu Yu neither got angry nor furious, but also didn't speak, they collectively felt shocked and frightened.

  It was unknown how much time had passed when Huangfu Yu suddenly spoke up and asked, "It's been a long time since we've gone hunting. Let's take some time out and go for a stroll to clear our minds!"

  As soon as these words came out, Jinmu Shuihuo suddenly felt a chill run down their spine and their scalp tingled. Several words quickly flashed through their minds: Tyrant, revived!

  "Third brother, that's no fun! If you're not happy, we can play something else. That hunting activity is really no good!"

  Actually, going into the mountains to hunt is not bad at all. However, Huangfu Yu always thought that the bodyguards' skills were not good enough, so he would always have them play the role of prey.

  The result is... Huangfu's skills are simply unbeatable, every time he plays, they end up battered and bruised. Playing that game again will definitely lead to a wipeout.

  This game was already "discontinued" a year ago, so why did Huangfu Yu bring it up again?

  There is only one reason: Huangfu Yu is now very unhappy, extremely unhappy, extremely unhappy, so unhappy that he wants to kill and silence people!!!

  In Huangfu Yu's game, there are only six words: violence, bloodshed and cruelty. Nothing else exists. No, one more should be added: the winner is king, the loser is a bandit!

  In Huangfu Yu's dictionary, there are only two words: win and victory, absolutely no failure.

  So just thinking about it, I know that if he participates in the games he designs, how tragic the other participants will be.

  "Third brother, if you're really unhappy and extremely angry, let's accompany you back to practice boxing! Or, something else? For example, we'll catch that shameless woman and bring her back for you to torment to death! No mercy! Let her... die a miserable death!"

  Shui Miao blinked her eyes and smiled as she negotiated with Huangfu Yu.

  But Huangfu Yu heard his words, his face suddenly changed greatly, he violently shouted: "Do you know that my eyes see me unhappy, I am very angry? Don't you see me drinking now? Who has a bad mood and drinks so leisurely?"

  Huang Pu's roar was earth-shaking and heaven-startling, it could be said that the earth shook and the mountains trembled, it could be said that... ghosts wailed and wolves howled.

  The four brothers of metal, wood, water and fire were conditioned reflexively to cover their ears, but they didn't dare to do so, and could only fawn and flatter.

  "Third brother, you really aren't angry at all!" Jin Xin said.

  "Right, right, Third Brother. Apart from your ugly complexion, apart from your bloodthirsty eyes, apart from your gritted teeth, apart from looking like you're about to devour someone, everything else is still normal!" Musen said.

  "Third brother, I dare to bet that you are absolutely not unhappy and not angry. Just like what Jin Xin and Mu Sen said, you're not angry at all. You're extremely happy, finally getting rid of and recognizing the true nature of that woman, so you're drinking to celebrate, hehe, your face is flushed with joy..." Shui Miao said with a smile.

  But Huangfu Yu had already reached the end of his patience, and with a crash, he slammed the wine cup over. He gritted his teeth viciously and said: "I'm really happy, not angry at all. Listen clearly, you guys, from now on, whoever dares to mention 'Su Jingya' three words in front of me, I'll skin them alive! And lastly, let me tell you, next time I see that woman, I'll... swallow her whole!"

  And so, in the carriage, there was an immediate... silence even more silent than death. Ah, not to die peacefully in silence, but to die stiffly in silence.

  I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly Shuǐ Méng thought of something and said loudly: "Third Brother, I suddenly remembered that someone said last time, the old master gave Su Jingya... a necklace, that chain seemed to be..."

  Before Mo Yan could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a fierce and sinister gaze shooting over, as well as four rather sympathetic gazes.

  He took in a breath of cool air and held his breath.

  "Shuimiao, you're looking for death!!" Huangfu Yu bellowed loudly.

  "Third Brother, I know I was wrong!! Third Brother, I was wrong!! Third Brother, ahhhhh... Your Majesty... I'm really..."

  I know I was wrong... *sobs*

  The eastern sun shone on the chicken soup, and with a gentle push of the door, she saw the woman lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with a pair of empty eyes.

  He slightly frowned, walked in, sat down on the sofa beside the bed, and smiled: "Jingya, are you awake? Drink some chicken soup, then I'll accompany you for a walk, okay?"

  As he spoke, he leaned forward to help her get up, but Su Jingya refused in a low voice: "I have no appetite and don't want to go out, let me calm down for a while!"

  "But Jingya, you haven't eaten properly for three days, if you don't eat something, your body won't be able to take it!" Dongfang Yan's voice was very soft, just like cotton sticking to the skin.

  But no matter how soft it was, it couldn't smooth out the scar on her chest.

  She knew she had always been a coward, and when hurt, she would hide alone in the corner, licking her wounds pitifully, and even while licking her wounds, she didn't have the courage to open her eyes to face it.

  If she were a bit braver, she should stand in front of Huangfu and explain, but...

  "Be quiet and eat something, okay? Hmm?"

  "If you don't eat anything, your stomach will hurt, and when it hurts, you'll think nonsense. Eat until you're full, then take a nap, and when you wake up, the pain will be gone!"

  "I promise you, I'll be with you and forget about him together, okay?"

  ……

  Dongfang Yan broke his heart and persuaded him for half a day, but Su Jingya just lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, and in the end he still ended in failure.

  When he left the room, he scratched his hair and racked his brains for a solution, but Su Jingya was very stubborn. From the moment he met her, he knew that once she had made up her mind about something, she would not easily change it, no matter how wrong it was, even if it meant jumping into an abyss of no return with her eyes closed.

  What should I do to make her come out?

  Always hiding in the room and not speaking, not eating anything is not a solution either.

  Just as he was getting anxious and helpless, the phone in his bag suddenly rang. He picked it up to find that it was Su Jingya's phone, with an unfamiliar number flashing on the screen. After some hesitation, Dongfang Yan furrowed his brow and answered...

  P.S: 6,000 words. Tomorrow I'll abuse Little San oh! Hehe! Thanks everyone for supporting Xiao Yao, love you all!!
