Chapter 508 - The informan (1/2)
Inside the quiet house, a dim yellow light was shining. Ren Xiaosu pointed his pistol at Wu Tong, with the two of them seated in chairs across from each other.
A professional killer like Wu Tong would have gone through all kinds of escape training. For example, he could distract the enemy to evade gunpoint.
To people like him, being held at gunpoint might not necessarily mean death. In such a situation, they would have to find an opportunity to get away.
But when Wu Tong faced Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue, he suddenly felt very helpless. These were two superhumans, so even if he could actually evade gunpoint, the outcome would still be the same.
It was terrifying for two superhumans to team up for a mission.
No, they were not teaming up. This was one superhuman subservient to another. She even addressed him as her “master.”
But this was no time to be thinking about that. Ren Xiaosu said to Wu Tong with a smile, “You didn’t expect us to find you, huh?”
It was all thanks to Zhou Yingxue that he found Wu Tong. Although Ren Xiaosu’s combat prowess was very strong, he did not have any expertise in searching and tracking people.
But Zhou Yingxue’s skill helped Ren Xiaosu make up for the lack of that.
She was able to conjure up three types of seeds in total. One was similar to the Brambles and could sprout from underground to kill enemies, and the second type could dig tunnels and open up an area that could be used as an underground hiding spot.
The third type would grow into a short four-leaf clover after being planted, and Zhou Yingxue could crush the four-leaf clover to extract a juice that could be smeared on a target’s body. They would then emit a grassy scent for up to three days that only Zhou Yingxue could smell.
No matter how far the target went, she could follow the scent and find them.
Ren Xiaosu thought about it and realized not every supernatural being had an extremely powerful combat skill. It seemed that some supernatural beings were born with no talent in that area at all.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was looking across at Wu Tong. Wu Tong appeared rather calm, which was to be expected of a hitman who could reach A-rank.
Wu Tong asked, “We’re on the same team. Why’re you pointing a gun at me?”
Ren Xiaosu was amused. “Shouldn’t you know what you’ve done? Since I’ve already killed the other three, I don’t plan on leaving you a way out.”
“You killed them?” Wu Tong’s pupils constricted. “You’re the sniper? Then Zhou Yingxue…”
He looked at Zhou Yingxue. Zhou Yingxue had started munching on melon seeds off to the side again.
Ren Xiaosu asked, “I don’t have many questions for you. There’s only two. If you answer them to my liking, I’ll give you a quick death. But if you don’t, I’ll drag out your death over three days and three nights.”
Wu Tong calmed down. This was the first time he had ever encountered such an interrogation method. ‘If you have to interrogate someone, at least lie about letting the interviewee live.’
But the more it was like that, the more he could not muster up any resistance.
“Alright, let’s begin. I want you to ask your informant.” Ren Xiaosu said, “Ask him where Luo Lan is being detained. Since he knows about the meeting at Liberation Park, it must mean that he holds a very important position in the stronghold. How do you usually contact him?”
“On the satphone,” Wu Tong answered, having decided to cooperate. He took out the satellite phone from his backpack. “I’ll ask him for you now.”
After the call was made, Wu Tong said, “Luo Lan has been imprisoned in the housing block at Houguan Lake. The Zhou Consortium is too scared to do anything to him. They’re still providing him with good food and drink. They arrested him because they suspected he had brought some assassins in with him. But the Zhou Consortium isn’t stupid either. They know Luo Lan doesn’t have to do something like that.”
