As Zhang Shaohua eyed the cleaner with suspicion.
The cleaner said dismissively.
"It's not the first day they've done this; they always keep their distance whenever I come to disinfect."
Zhang Shaohua still couldn't quite believe that the Dragon Group members could be so easily fooled.
However, the cleaner urged him on.
"Hurry up and get to work inside, don't drag it out, or who knows when they'll be back!"
"I can't stall for much longer!"
Hearing the cleaner's words, Zhang Shaohua dared not say any more.
He could only suppress his doubts and walk inside without looking back.
The cleaner continued to mumble as he mopped the floor.
He thought people like Zhang Shaohua were too suspicious, always overthinking things.
But in reality, it wasn't that complicated.
These Dragon Group members were also human.
And most of them were from influential families.
It was normal for them to be a bit arrogant!
In fact, the cleaner had never participated in the Dragon Group's new recruit training.
So he had no idea that.
All Dragon Group members, regardless of their background or strength.
Once they joined, they were treated equally.
And had to shed their pampered habits from their family backgrounds!
Therefore, there was no such thing as leaving their posts and going out for fresh air just because they disliked disinfectant.
They were simply putting on a show for the lookouts from the Zhang family and the Shadow Organization!
What a shame.
Zhang Shaohua hadn't considered this angle.
After all, he didn't have much contact with the Dragon Group members, and he had only recently joined the new recruit training.
He was not familiar with the Dragon Group at all!
Of course, Zhang Shaohua would have no chance to become familiar with them.
Zhang Shaohua walked straight into the prison and headed directly for the cell where Monk Zhu and Monk Zhao were held.
He yanked the door open.
He saw Monk Zhu and Monk Zhao squatting on the ground, eating.
Hearing the door open, the two of them looked up numbly.
Their sallow faces showed that their time in the Dragon Group had not been easy.
They had barely clung to half their lives!
Even though Zhang Shaohua knew that Monk Zhu and Monk Zhao would have every method imaginable used by the Dragon Group to extract information from them.
He hadn't expected their situation to be so dire.
So seeing the state of Monk Zhu and Monk Zhao, even Zhang Shaohua was taken aback.
"Young Master Zhang?"
Monk Zhu's lips trembled, and he stood up abruptly.
However, he stood up so quickly that he became dizzy and nearly fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Monk Zhao, who was watching closely, quickly helped Monk Zhu up!
"Young Master Zhang, are you here to save us?" Monk Zhu asked excitedly, tears about to stream down his face.
He knelt with a thud.
He quickly grabbed Zhang Shaohua's leg and pleaded, "Young Master Zhang, life inside is worse than death!"
"Please, save us!"
Zhang Shaohua didn't know what he was thinking.
He took two steps back abruptly, shivering.
There was no way; Monk Zhu's appearance was too unsettling!
Monk Zhu didn't seem to notice Zhang Shaohua's small movement, instead continuing to cry his woes.
Zhang Shaohua swallowed and asked, "How did you two end up like this? We've only been apart for two days!"
Monk Zhu and Monk Zhao exchanged glances and poured out their suffering.
The Dragon Group had many methods of interrogation.
And they weren't simple torture.
Instead, they aimed to crush the two men's spirits!
"Young Master Zhang, if you don't save us soon, I won't hide it from you, we've almost broken several times already," Monk Zhu threatened.
He simply couldn't bear life in the prison anymore.
The Dragon Group members were like devils!
A flicker of hesitation crossed Zhang Shaohua's mind.
But hearing Monk Zhu's veiled threat, Zhang Shaohua's resolve hardened.
It seemed his initial thought was correct.
They should be silenced!
Otherwise, these two useless men, Monk Zhu and Monk Zhao, would surely crack under interrogation and spill everything about the Zhang family and the Shadow Organization!
Thinking this, Zhang Shaohua quietly retrieved the poison needle from his怀.
On the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant and appeased Monk Zhu, "I'm here to save you today."
"These past two days, the lookouts and I have been devising a plan, and we finally came up with one, so I rushed over."
"However, if you want to get out, you'll need to cooperate with me, otherwise, we won't be able to do anything from the outside."
Hearing Zhang Shaohua's words, Monk Zhu's eyes lit up. He grabbed Zhang Shaohua's leg and repeatedly said, "Cooperate, Young Master Zhang, I'll cooperate with anything you say!"
Monk Zhao, on the other hand, had a much clearer look in his eyes.
His gaze swept over Zhang Shaohua's hand, almost imperceptibly.
He seemed to have noticed something.
But Monk Zhao said nothing, just watched quietly.
Time was short, and Zhang Shaohua didn't notice Monk Zhao's anomaly.
He continued to engage with Monk Zhu, closing the distance.
Just as they were getting closer,
and he raised the poison needle, preparing to stab it into the back of Monk Zhu's head.
Bang!
A loud noise came from the cell door!
Several heavily armed Dragon Group members were staring directly at Zhang Shaohua and shouted, "Stop!"
Zhang Shaohua trembled all over.
He gritted his teeth, his heart hardening.
He directly raised his hand and thrust it towards Monk Zhu's neck!
However.
Just as the poison needle was about to pierce, Monk Zhao next to him, with all his might.
Kicked Zhang Shaohua away!
And he himself fell to the ground, panting heavily after expending his strength.
But his eyes remained fixed on Zhang Shaohua!
Clack—
A crisp sound.
The poison needle fell to the ground.
Monk Zhu saw it clearly!
"Young Master Zhang, you wanted to kill us?" Monk Zhu finally understood.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he asked.
Zhang Shaohua averted his face unnaturally, still trying to argue, "I saw you were suffering in there and wanted to grant you freedom."
"The Zhang family has treated you well, and now the Zhang family is in trouble..."
Monk Zhu glared at him with hatred, his face turning pale with anger, his breathing heavy, "Young Master Zhang, stop with the games!"
"We've worked for the Zhang family for so long; we deserve at least some credit for our efforts."
"Even if you didn't save us, for the sake of our families, we would have remained silent."
"But you wanted to silence us permanently!"
The more Monk Zhu spoke, the angrier he became.
He forced himself to stand up, wanting to fight Zhang Shaohua.
However.
The Dragon Group members had arrived and would not allow Monk Zhu to act rashly!
They immediately separated the two!
A Dragon Group member barked, "Quiet!"
"Detain Zhang Shaohua and await Elder Lin's instructions!"
