Chapter 137 - Looking for the Chip (1/2)

In a dark, cold underground dungeon, a man spat out a mouthful of blood along with one of his teeth. He grunted and glared at Zhi Hei with a confused expression, ”why did you bring me here?! You must have captured the wrong person!”

”No, we didn't mistaken you for anyone,” Zhi Hei stretched his fingers as he loosened the brass knuckles he wore. His previous fist made a print on his skin, but that did not stop him from interrogating Li Teng.

Soon, guards dragged an unconscious man across the cell gate to give Li Teng a good look at who was joining him.

”Brother in law?! You! Who are you?! Don't you know who we are? If it is money, we can give you any amounts you request! Release us or you'll receive nothing.” Li Teng threatened while gritting his teeth.

”If I rejected to do business with Tian Corps, why would you think that I am after your dirty money? Perhaps you should take a good look at who I am first before spitting out nonsense.” Zhi Hei replaced the brass knuckle with another one that came with spikes on it.

”Then what do you want from us??” Li Teng subconsciously paced backwards until his back felt the hardness of the brick wall behind him.

”A scum like you has nothing precious enough for me to take, but I do want to take your life.” Zhi Hei coldly responded as he approached his target slowly and steadily. Each step he took sounded like the grim reaper's arrival.

Shen Qi maintained his composure with a straight face while Li Teng widened his eyes in a horrific manner. He shook his head left and right as his arms crossed to block off any incoming attacks. He chanted, ”You've got the wrong person! I haven't done anything to offend you!”

”Oh? So, who was the one who persuaded the man named Yang Ku Ze to hire an assassin from the underground market?”

Li Teng mumbled and gasped as the questions became clearer to him, ”me.”

”Good. So, who suggested to Mr. Yang that it would be a great idea to kill Shi family's young miss, Shi Xue? Hmmm?” Zhi Hei's fierce glare alone was enough to shake up Li Teng's confidence. With his voice as a stimulation, Li Teng did not dare to lie.

He continued answering the questions as his shoulder weighed his body downwards, ”me.”

”Very well. You've never met her before, yet you gave such a stupid advice to an idiotic man with brain cells small enough that it's nonexistent. So speak, why did you give him that idea?” Zhi Hei walked to the table that Shen Qi had previously set up with various knives and sharp blades on it.

He picked up the sharpest blade available and wiped it slowly with a cloth to intensify the atmosphere in the cell. Watching the steadiness of his fingers as it swept the cloth on the blade and wiped it sparkling clean forced words out of Li Teng's throat.

”I..I.. was searching for something that she might have in hand.” He muttered as his feet pushed his body backwards against the icy, solid wall.

”What were you looking for?” Zhi Hei spun the blade in his hand as if it was a kid's toy. From how quick and calm he looked when playing with that blade, Li Teng knew that he was in deep trouble this time.

”A..A chip. It's not just me either. Eventually, someone would find out that she might hold the chip that they want and do the same as I did. Besides, all I did was say a few words. The main culprit who listed that job in the underground market was Yang Ku Ze. Why don't you look for him instead? He paid the assassin, not me.”
