Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 512

After the small meeting between Xie Yuchen and the other three ended, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang continued to wander outside, traveling around and deceiving the people who were following them.

Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi were responsible for going to the dungeon of Xie Mansion to interrogate the senior members of the Wang family.

Fatty Wang was sitting in the car wearing sunglasses, holding a bottle of happy water in one hand and resting his other hand on the car window, and he said with emotion: "This life is so cool! Why didn't I realize it before!"

Wu Xie was driving the car and glanced at Fatty Wang. "In the past! Fatty, you were so obsessed with money that you had no way out!"

Fatty Wang thought about it and said, "That's right! I am a greedy and lustful person. If life lacks these two pleasures, then it won't make any difference if I die!"

Wu Xie did not refute and drove on the road, not knowing where ahead was. But the two of them did not have a destination either, so they just drove aimlessly, going wherever they went!

"Wu Xie, where do you think we should go next?"

"Xiaohua didn't say anything, so we'll just drive wherever we can! Anyway, all expenses will be borne by Mr. Xie!"

Fatty Wang exclaimed, "Great! Master Huaer is indeed a wealthy man! This financial support is great! Fatty, I love it so much!"

Xie Mansion Dungeon

Hei Xia Zi followed Xie Yuchen through many passes and finally arrived at the darkest place in Xie's mansion.

"Hua'er, your basement is quite hidden!"

"If they are not kept secret, the antiques and treasures of the Xie Mansion cannot be displayed in the open!"

Hei Xia Zi noticed that Xie Yuchen was holding a wooden food basket in his hand. "Hua'er, what are you holding in your hand? Do you want me to help you carry it?"

Xie Yuchen dodged the hand that Hei Xiazi stretched out, "No need! These are all very important things. If you are so clumsy, I will tear them apart and I will tell you how I will deal with you!"

Hei Xia Zi looked at the food box in Xie Yuchen's hand suspiciously. Judging from the material of the food box, it should be an old item, but looking at the carvings on it, it felt like a modern work. How could these two contradictory things appear on the same thing?

Hei Xia Zi believed that he had seen countless antiques, but he had never heard of such a strange one. Even if he had seen it, it was only objects from the previous dynasty made by famous figures of the later dynasty. However, he had never heard of an ancient object carved by a modern person.

Xie Yuchen did not notice the expression of Hei Xia Zi hiding in the darkness. After all, no matter how good his eyesight was, he could only rely on his familiarity with the terrain to identify the direction in such a dark place.

Hei Xia Zi followed Xie Yuchen and turned left and right, finally arriving at an iron gate. Hei Xia Zi noticed that the iron gate was made of cast iron and was five inches thick. After it was opened, it was also dark inside, but not as bright as the corridor just now.

When Hei Xia Zi set foot here, he saw braziers hanging on the walls on both sides with blazing fires inside. Not far away were cages, which held the senior executives and scientific researchers of the Wang family who had been replaced by others on the day the Wang family was destroyed.

Xie Yuchen went all the way to the innermost part, where the people imprisoned were not only locked up without any gaps, but each person was placed in a separate room.

Hei Xia Zi noticed that there seemed to be a number on the door, and there was an introduction marked on the wall next to it?

Hei Xiazi came closer to see what was going on, but he suddenly felt dizzy. "Hua'er! Why do I feel a little dizzy? Didn't I just have lunch? Why am I hungry again?"

Xie Yuchen stepped forward and slapped Hei Xia Zi, then pulled him behind him, "Do you want to die? You were staring at that sign!"

Hei Xia Zi was pulled behind Xie Yuchen, and soon he felt sober and realized that the sign was probably a trap prepared for those who wanted to break into the prison.

After Xie Yuchen opened the door, he saw a cage in the room. There was only a wooden bed and a wooden table in the cage, and the lights from all around shone directly on the bed.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think? Are you going to tell me the truth? Or are you going to continue to be in a stalemate with me?"

Xie Yuchen placed the food box in his hand on a wooden table near the iron gate. The person in the cage was Mr. Wang, who had led the team and followed Xie Yuchen and his friends into the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West.

"Even if I die, I won't tell you anything! I won't betray my beliefs!"

Mr. Wang's face was pale, his breath was weak and his eyes were bloodshot. The dark circles under his eyes showed that he was sleep deprived.

"Your faith? Your faith has betrayed you! Your faith has long since changed its target. Do you need me to explain it to you in detail?"

Xie Yuchen dragged over a chair, put his left leg on his right leg, crossed his hands on his knees, and leaned against the backrest.

Mr. Wang suddenly rushed to the cage angrily, holding the iron bars tightly with both hands, staring at Xie Yuchen with bloodshot eyes, "You are talking nonsense! How could my faith betray me! He must have been threatened by someone!"

Mr. Wang suddenly shrank back nervously, and kept chewing his thumb. Hei Xiazi could see the bumps on his thumb. "Hua'er, is this man crazy? Can you believe what a madman says?"

"A madman will talk nonsense, but who says that what a madman says is not true?" Xie Yuchen raised his eyes and glanced at Hei Xia Zi, "It is because in everyone's cognition, only madmen will talk nonsense, so everyone thinks that what a madman says is not credible!"

Hei Xia Zi was stunned by Xie Yuchen's words. After all, in his cognition, lunatics and normal people are different. Because they are lunatics, they have no ability to distinguish things, so no one will really treat a lunatic as a normal person.

Xie Yuchen continued to watch Mr. Wang in the cage go crazy. "Don't underestimate those lunatics and psychopaths. They just live differently from us. If you really understand them, you will find that you are the most ridiculous person!"

After Xie Yuchen finished speaking, he instructed Hei Xia Zi to turn off the lights around and then press a red switch on the wall on the other side.

With a "click", the room that was as bright as day just now suddenly became dark. Only a warm orange light just above the cage illuminated the entire room.

"Mr. Wang, I know how strong your heart is. Acting crazy and stupid is not your style!"

The moment Xie Yuchen slowly walked out of the darkness, Mr. Wang immediately pounced over like a cheetah ready to pounce, but was stopped by the fences around him.

"Xie Yuchen, I'm telling you! Don't even think about getting any information from me! I absolutely will not betray him!"

The neurotic expression on Mr. Wang's face and the weird smile at the corner of his lips all showed his madness.

"No! You will tell me! And you will tell me willingly!"

Xie Yuchen suddenly reached out and grabbed Mr. Wang's neck, slowly lifted him up from the ground, and stared into his eyes.

Mr. Wang saw a playful look in Xie Yuchen's eyes.

"Humans are very complex animals. They are clearly the same species, yet they can create so many punishments to be used on their own kind!"

Xie Yuchen loosened his hand and let Mr. Wang fall to the ground. Xie Yuchen walked into the cage and ignored Mr. Wang's eyes eager to escape from the cage, but Xie Yuchen knew that he would never escape, because sometimes death is much easier than living.

"Look! There are so many tortures in history. They were all created by the lower-ranking people to please the higher-ups!"

Xie Yuchen grabbed Mr. Wang's hair and made him open his eyes wide to look at the entire wall of torture instruments.

Xie Yuchen leaned close to Mr. Wang's ear and whispered about his cruelty, "But Mr. Wang, you can still put your mind at ease. I will not use any of these tools to hurt Mr. Wang's delicate body."

Mr. Wang's eyes were suddenly filled with fear, and he just looked at Xie Yuchen who was smiling.

"Blind man, hand me my wooden box! Be careful not to spill the contents! Otherwise, Mr. Wang won't be able to experience the beauty of those things in a while!"

Hei Xia Zi carefully carried the wooden box and approached Xie Yuchen, then took over Xie Yuchen's job and helped him hold Mr. Wang.

Xie Yuchen turned around and opened the wooden lid. Hei Xiazi noticed that there were bottles and jars inside. "Hua'er, what's in these bottles and jars?"

"Something that won't harm his body, but can make him suffer a fate worse than death."

Xie Yuchen picked and chose in the wooden box for a long time before picking out three small bottles. "Let me prepare these three for you today! We have plenty of time for the rest. Slow, slow, come on!"

Hei Xia Zi noticed that there were small notes on the three small bottles, written in traditional Chinese characters, which seemed to be about midnight or sending fairy dust or something like that.

"Open his mouth!"

Hei Xia Zi suppressed Mr. Wang who was trying to struggle. His long legs directly suppressed his moving legs. He tied his hands behind his back, stretched out one hand to pinch his cheek, and forced Mr. Wang to open his mouth.

Xie Yuchen picked up one of the small bottles with the words "Fairy Dust" written on it, uncorked it and slowly poured the liquid inside into Mr. Wang's mouth. He then touched his Adam's apple with his finger and the liquid that he was about to spit out was swallowed.

The moment the liquid was swallowed, Mr. Wang's pupils showed signs of dilation, and his body twitched so badly that even Hei Xia Zi could hardly resist. Fortunately, Xie Yuchen made him release the hands that were restraining him.

Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi just stood there, looking down at Mr. Wang who was twisting his body wildly on the ground.

Xie Yuchen calculated the time and fed the antidote to Mr. Wang, whose face was turning blue.

"Mr. Wang, sometimes living is a torture! Your faith cannot save you. It will make you suffer in vain, and finally the ashes will be blown away by the wind."

Xie Yuchen squatted down and comforted Mr. Wang in a gentle voice.

Mr. Wang curled up his body, bent himself into a mosquito coil, raised his pale face with sweat all over his forehead, and said, "You're dreaming!"

The smile on Xie Yuchen's face instantly turned into a cold frost. "Mr. Wang, I'm going to negotiate with you now. If you wait until I lose all my patience, you will know what real hell is like!"

Mr. Wang buried his head in his arms and ignored Xie Yuchen's advice.

"Black blind man!"

After receiving the order, Hei Xia Zi wanted to suppress Mr. Wang as he did before. However, after swallowing that small bottle of fairy dust, he was already completely exhausted. Now he was able to curl up and hug himself, using up his last bit of strength.

Xie Yuchen put the liquid in another small bottle into Mr. Wang's mouth, and let Mr. Wang swallow the liquid in the same way, and then fed him the antidote at a timely manner.

Until the third bottle of poison flowed down Mr. Wang's throat into his stomach, Xie Yuchen was unable to pry any valuable clues out of him. However, Mr. Wang did talk about a lot of other messy things, such as his childhood fun, his feelings for a certain woman, and even a dog he once raised.

Xie Yuchen looked at the stubborn man in front of him expressionlessly, feeling helpless. He sighed, stood up, walked to Mr. Wang, and looked down at him.

"Mr. Wang, I am actually a very conscientious person." Xie Yuchen said slowly, "Let's stop playing today. You are tired, so take a good rest. We will come to play with you again in two days!"

After saying that, Xie Yuchen bent down, picked up the three small bottles on the ground, and put them in his pocket. Then, he picked up the wooden box and turned around to leave the cage.

However, this departure was different from what Mr. Wang had imagined. He originally thought that Xie Yuchen would turn on the strong lights around him again, letting him continue to suffer under the glaring light. But in fact, Xie Yuchen did not do so. He just left a warm light lamp facing the bed, immersing the entire cage in a soft light.

Mr. Wang was tortured to death by the three bottles of poison. He rolled his eyes, tears streamed down his face, and he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud. His body kept shaking, as if he had lost control of himself.

After a long while, Mr. Wang finally recovered. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the lonely warm light. Despair and fear surged in his heart. He didn't know when Xie Yuchen would come back, and he didn't know how much more torture he could endure.

Finally, Mr. Wang pulled himself together and slowly crawled under the wooden bed. He pulled a thin blanket off the bed and wrapped himself tightly, as if this could protect him from the fear and pain from the outside world. Then, he couldn't resist the sleepiness in his body, his eyelids became heavier, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.

Back on the ground, Hei Xia Zi was really curious about the three bottles of poison in Xie Yuchen's pocket. He scratched his head and tried to get the three bottles from Xie Yuchen's pocket.

Xie Yuchen seemed to sense something and said, "Don't even think about taking those three bottles from my pocket! This is not something you should know!"

Hei Xia Zi could only stop talking and said, "Don't worry, Hua'er! I treat your words as if they were imperial decrees! I will never have any unreasonable thoughts."
