Zhao Lao San convulsed on the ground, white foam spewing from his mouth. His contorted expression sent shivers down one's spine, a testament to the excruciating pain he was enduring.
"It hurts so much, it itches! Don't gnaw on my bones, help me, help me…" he screamed hysterically.
Mu Feng grabbed him, lifting him up. "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me? I asked you, where is she?"
"I'll take you there right now, I'll take you there right now, please don't do this to me, I'm really in so much pain!"
Zhao Lao San's mental defenses had completely crumbled. He understood that if he didn't comply, his life would be a living hell. In his current state, he couldn't bear another second of the inhuman agony.
Mu Feng let out a cold snort and pulled out a silver needle, puncturing his waist to release the pressure points. Zhao Lao San felt an immense relief and collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath.
"I'm alive, I'm finally alive!" he coughed weakly.
Mu Feng sneered, "I've only temporarily released your pressure points. If you dare to make any sudden moves, you'll experience torment far worse than this!"
Zhao Lao San shivered, thoroughly terrified. Worse pain? That would be the death of him! With that thought, he immediately surrendered. "I absolutely will not make any rash moves, please rest assured, I'll take you there now!"
Meanwhile, outside a hotel room in Honghai City, two thugs stood guard. One with a full sleeve tattoo was restless, trying to peer through the peephole to see what was happening inside. The other thug yawned. "This Third Master is something else, he assigns all the dirty work to us while he gets to enjoy himself. He's not even human!"
The tattooed thug slapped his thigh in agreement. "Exactly! Why does he get all the good food and drinks while we have to stand guard like this?"
The other thug's eyes lit up. "Why don't we cause some trouble?"
The tattooed thug licked his lips. "I was thinking the same thing. How about we go in ahead of him and take care of the girl first?"
"Wouldn't that be bad? If Third Master finds out, we'll be in deep trouble!" The other thug was startled. He had only meant to sneak out for a game of cards, not anticipating his companion's audacity.
"What's the big deal? We'll be quick and he won't know. Does he have eyes everywhere? Can he see what we're doing?" The tattooed thug grew more excited.
The other thug bit his lip, still hesitant. "I'm just afraid Third Master will find out. You know his personality. If he finds out, we're completely finished."
The tattooed thug was clearly annoyed. "You really are a coward. What's there to be afraid of? If you're scared, I'll go in alone and enjoy all the spoils. You can stay here and keep watch!" With that, he made to rush into the room.
This thug wasn't one to be outdone. He immediately stopped him. "Why should you get all the glory? Fine, I'll risk it with you today. Let's go for it!"
Inside the room, bound by her feet, was none other than Gu Yan'er. With a loud bang, the room door was kicked open. The tattooed thug and his companion entered with greedy smiles.
"You, what do you want?" A premonition of doom washed over Gu Yan'er.
The tattooed thug sneered, "What do we want? Little girl, you see it's just us three. What do you think we want?"
"Don't come any closer, or I'll scream for help!" Gu Yan'er's face turned ashen with fear.
The other thug quickly closed the door and locked it. "Go ahead and scream, this room is soundproof. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will hear you!" he said with a smug laugh.
The tattooed thug nodded. "That's right. So I advise you not to waste your energy. Save some strength to resist me, I like girls who put up a fight!"
Gu Yan'er's pretty face darkened. She threatened, "I warn you not to do anything. My brother is no ordinary person. If you dare to touch a single hair on me, you'll regret it, you might even lose your lives!"
Upon hearing this, the two lecherous men burst into laughter. The tattooed thug doubled over with laughter. "Regret it? That's hilarious! What's your brother compared to us?"
"That's right. If he dares to show up, I'll chop off his head and use it as a football!" the other thug said, pulling out a switchblade and brandishing it wildly.
Gu Yan'er's tears flowed like rain, her pitiable expression igniting the two men's malice. The tattooed thug spread his arms. "Alright, alright, I'll cherish you. I'm coming now!"
"No, don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll bite my tongue and die for you to see!" Gu Yan'er's face was pale, her eyes filled with a resolute determination. She wasn't joking; she'd rather be shattered jade than intact tile.
The tattooed thug clearly didn't believe her. He said arrogantly, "Bite your tongue and die? Little girl, do you have the guts? Death is terrifying, are you sure you dare?"
"If you take another step closer, I'll definitely die for you to see!" she clenched her fists tightly.
The two men didn't realize she was serious. The other thug chuckled, "This is hilarious. Don't listen to her, she wouldn't dare!"
"Little girl, here I come!" The tattooed thug, driven by lust, lunged forward like a hungry wolf.
Just then, with a resounding bang, the room door was kicked open again. The door crashed to the ground, and a young man slowly walked in, followed by a middle-aged man. The young man was Mu Feng, and behind him was the dejected Zhao Lao San, trembling outside and daring not to utter a single word.
The tattooed thug and his companion shivered, but they didn't immediately notice Zhao Lao San. "Who are you, punk?" the other thug grumbled, his anger boiling.
Mu Feng ignored them and quickly walked to Gu Yan'er's side. "Are you alright? Were you hurt!" he whispered. He quickly untied her.
Overwhelmed, Gu Yan'er threw herself into his arms. "I'm fine, I'm fine…" Mu Feng felt a pang of fear, realizing the dire consequences had he arrived a moment later.
