Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the underground of Yun Ni.

An agonizing scream was heard upon entering.

Ning Chen frowned. “What’s with the commotion?”

Chang An, who was following behind him, said, “Young Master Guan said to let him suffer a little and let him know what it feels like to die of pain.”

Ning Chen didn’t reply. He took a few steps forward and said, “Shut his mouth, how annoying.”

“Yes!” Chang An agreed.

He couldn’t help but noticed how the master was very protective of his wife. The people around him had never seen such a protective and aggressive side to him.

Ning Chen pushed the door open and walked in.

Guan Yue saw him in the monitoring room and hurriedly asked through his earpiece, “Hey, what are you doing here?”

“Seeing the fool!” Ning Chen said unhappily.

Guan Yue almost gasped. The guy didn’t know how to keep his mouth shut!

“I’m talking about the one inside,” Ning Chen added.

He reached out to pick up the notes made by his subordinates. After flipping through them, he frowned.

The young doctor was tied to a pillar and was already covered in blood.

Ning Chen muttered even though he was actually talking to his men through the ear piece. “We are all civilized and gentle people, who came up with the idea to torture him?”

Nobody dared to speak.

Guan Yue answered lazily, “Me! Did you see how much he hurt Xiao Yu? I’m just returning the favor?”

Ning Chen looked at the person in front of him and asked, “Did he reveal who was behind all this?”

“No,” The subordinate answered truthfully.

Ning Chen opened his palm and revealed a black porcelain bottle. “Guan Yue said that he wanted to make him feel the pain. Yet, he didn’t tell the truth, which means that the torture you used on him did not work. Why don’t you try this?”

Three little black pills were found in the bottle.

The subordinate took them and asked carefully, “Are you giving these to him?”

The young master’s expression was very calm, and he didn’t look like he was about to kill someone. He was a little uncertain.

Ning Chen nodded.

The young doctor was pinched by his chin and forced to swallow the medicine.

Ning Chen looked at him and sneered. “Do you know what you swallowed? It’s a refined version of Sleeping Beauty. I don’t need you to say anything. It doesn’t matter if you speak or not. I just want you to have a taste of Xiao Yu’s current feelings. She’s in a lot of pain. She’s suffering so much, she recoils at the lightest of touch, all thanks to you folks. Those who died are so lucky they didn’t have to feel it. The living, however, are not that fortunate. Do you understand?”

The young doctor was so scared that his entire body trembled. He could feel a wave of heat rising from the bottom of his heart, engulfing his body in the scorching heat. Soon, the burning sensation spread throughout his entire body.

“Argh!” Before the young doctor could finish his scream, his mouth was already stuffed with a towel.

The young doctor moaned.

“What? Do you want to tell me the truth?” Ning Chen asked calmly.

The young doctor nodded repeatedly with a pleading look in his eyes.

Ning Chen said slowly, “Then let him speak. Pathetic fool.”

As soon as the towel was taken out, the young doctor gasped for breath.

“Please spare me. I was just following orders. It wasn’t my intention. It hurts so much!” Tears flowed out of the young doctor’s eyes.

Ning Chen was unmoved.

The young doctor said in despair, “We came to ask Miss Qin Yu about the whereabouts of a locked box, but she didn’t reveal anything even though she had two jabs. Lao Zhang told me to give her a third jab, but I didn’t dare. I was afraid that she would die and I refused. In the end, Lao Zhang insisted, so I had no choice. It was Miss Qin Yu who broke free from the handcuffs and then you came.”

“What about the locked box?” Ning Chen asked.

The young doctor shook his head. “I heard that when Miss Qin’s parents died, they gave her a box. It contained all of their wealth, but the box’s whereabouts is unknown. It just so happens that Miss Qin Yu didn’t have a good memory, so she can’t remember anything. We could only use hallucinogens to try to make it work.”

Ning Chen said, “Who instructed you?”

The young doctor was shocked. “No, no.”

“Huh?” Ning Chen asked softly.

The young doctor quickly said, “I, I really don’t know. I’m merely a doctor.”

“It doesn’t look like you’re in enough pain.” Ning Chen looked at him.

“It hurts! It hurts! It really hurts!” The young doctor bared his teeth and shouted.

Ning Chen looked at him quietly.

The young doctor was defeated. “Yes, yes. I’m just a young doctor in the hospital. I owed them money because of gambling. That’s why I was forced to do what they said.”

“Who are they?” Ning Chen was obviously impatient.

“Du… Ming He and his subordinates.”

Ning Chen sneered. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“Please give me the antidote. It hurts so much.”

Ning Chen did not even look at him. “We’ll give it to you only when Xiao Yu stops hurting!”

He turned around and left, leaving Guan Yue looking in awe.
