Chapter 677: Everything Is Confusing
“Lu Silong, what happened to you over there?” The owner of the coffee shop hurried over.
This Lu Silong was the waiter who had escaped the teapot attack and witnessed the fight between the youth with the basketball jersey and Yang Ming.
Because the conflict where the youth with the basketball jersey took out his gun happened in the blink of an eye, there was no one in the store who saw the details except for the waiter.
At this time, there were not many people in the store, so the witness was only this waiter named Lu Silong.
Lu Silong tidied up his clothes and said indifferently, “Manager, it was nothing but just a little conflict between two customers. Here is the money left by our customer.”
Lu Silong handed the one hundred yuan bill that Yang Ming left to the manager as he spoke.
How much was it to replace a broken teapot? A hundred yuan was enough even with the coffee included, so the manager didn’t say anything more. After all, he had lost nothing.
“Are you okay?” The manager took the money and asked Lu Silong.
“I’m fine.” Lu Silong smiled and said, “The manager can rest a.s.sured.”
However, Lu Silong knew that if there was no accident, someone would come to look for him. Sure enough, it didn’t take long before a group of people came into the coffee shop. The person who took the lead glanced at the waiter in the store and walked straight to Lu Silong.
Because Lu Silong’s characteristics were easily recognizable due to his yellow buzz cut, he was distinct from the other waiters.
“You, come with us.” The person who spoke was naturally Hou Zhenhan, the one who took the lead to come in.
“Alright, let’s go out to talk.” Lu Silong said calmly, “Don’t make trouble in the store.”
Hou Zhenhan nodded but he didn’t expect this kid to be cooperative.
As they exited the coffee shop door, Lu Silong didn’t make trouble but rather he went into Hou Zhenhan’s car obediently. Because of the large number of people, Hou Zhenhan brought a Jinbei Minivan this time.
After getting in the car, Lu Silong also sat quietly there with a carefree expression. Hou Zhenhan was too lazy to bother with him. Brother Yang didn’t say anything but to just grab this guy first. He didn’t know what to ask this guy.
“Boss, we are done here. We caught the kid.” Hou Zhenhan gave Yang Ming a call and reported it.
“Oh? You caught the kid?” Yang Ming was shocked after hearing the news. He didn’t expect the waiter to not run away. “Then you wait for me at the Nightless Club. I’m coming over now.”
Hanging up the phone, Yang Ming said to Xiao Qing, “Sister Xiao Qing, I got some clues for today’s incident. I’m going out now.”
“Go ahead. Be careful.” Xiao Qing knew that Yang Ming had a serious matter to handle. Moreover, she would be worried if today’s incident was unresolved.
In one of the Nightless Club’s rooms, Hou Zhenhan was there waiting respectfully for Yang Ming.
“Thanks for going through the trouble, Big Hou!” said Yang Ming and patted Hou Zhenhan’s shoulder.
“What’s the trouble? This person didn’t resist at all. After we caught him, he didn’t say anything and he had no fear at all.” Hou Zhenhan smiled bitterly.
“Oh?” Yang Ming frowned, and there was an unpredictable hunch in his heart. He had this feeling before. The whole scene seemed to be a conspiracy that was arranged! It wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
“Go in and have a look!” Yang Ming sighed and pushed the door of the room and walked in. Hou Zhenhan followed.
Sure enough, the waiter Yang Ming saw at the coffee shop was now tied to a chair without saying a word. He wasn’t noisy but rather he was staring in one direction blankly.
“Do you know why I’m looking for you?” After Yang Ming asked this sentence, he found it amusing. His tone was like a policeman who interrogated the prisoner.
Lu Silong rolled his eyes and didn’t speak.
“If you don’t want to suffer, just tell the truth.” Yang Ming sat in the chair opposite Lu Silong and asked.
“What do you want to know? What do you want me to say?” Lu Silong finally spoke, but the tone was indifferent.
“You were with the group today, right?” Yang Ming hesitated and asked.
“The group of people? Which group? I’m just a small waiter. I don’t know about it at all.” Lu Silong was like a dead pig who was fearless to scalding water [1].
“Really? How come you had coincidentally evaded the teapot that the kid threw?” Yang Ming sneered.
“I can only say that I’m lucky to be able to dodge the teapot. What is the matter about it being coincidental?” Lu Silong said without hesitation, “Speaking about coincidence, I would say your move was more coincidental. You threw back the teapot. That would be a real coincidence.”
“It seems you don’t shed tears until you see the coffin [2]!” Yang Ming waved his hand to Hou Zhenhan and said, “Let him have some fun!”
Hou Zhenhan nodded and walked over to Lu Silong. He somehow got himself an electric baton.
Looking at the flas.h.i.+ng sparks, “Pak,” Lu Silong’s didn’t seem as calm as he was just now. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be hesitant and somewhat struggling, but he clenched his teeth.
All of this was in Yang Ming’s eyes. Yang Ming was puzzled and didn’t know the intention of the guy in front of him. Let’s say he was timid. He had been so calm beforehand.
However, his expression at that moment wasn’t as calm as before.
“Don’t kill him. Zap him in a non-lethal spot!” Yang Ming wanted to see how long this guy could last.
“Hey…” Lu Silong took a breath of chilled air. Obviously, the number of volts that Hou Zhenhan set wasn’t high, so the electricity could only be painful but not so damaging.
“Let me ask you again. Were those people with you today?” Yang Ming asked Lu Silong who was grimacing.
“…” Lu Silong clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and looked pained.
“Continue.” Yang Ming informed Hou Zhenhan.
“Yes!” Hou Zhenhan adjusted the electric baton and poked it at Lu Silong’s belly.
“Ah…” Lu Silong screamed, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
… “That should be good enough, right? I have suffered for a while… If I say it now, it shouldn’t raise any doubt, right?”
A voice poured into Yang Ming’s mind. It came; it came again! Yang Ming looked at Lu Silong with great interest. This guy’s thoughts were a bit special. What did he mean by it shouldn’t raise any doubt if he says it now? Was he… was he acting all this while?
… “No, I can’t stand it anymore!”
“Ao!” Lu Silong yelled and said, “Stop shocking me. I will talk. I will talk!”
Hou Zhenhan took back his hand and stood aside. Yang Ming stared at Lu Silong, “Let’s talk. What is your name?”
“My name is Lu Silong. They all call me Ah Long…” Lu Silong said honestly.
“That bunch of people today, are you with them?” Yang Ming continued to ask.
“Yes, I’m actually in the same group with those people today.” Lu Silong replied.
“Oh? So, did you all plan for it?” asked Yang Ming.
“I’m just a minor character. We do what the boss said…” said Lu Silong.
“Who is your boss?” Yang Ming continued.
“I… I can’t say it. If I said it, the boss would definitely kill me…” Lu Silong’s face showed a glimpse of panic.
“If you don’t say it, I would let you die now.” Yang Ming snorted. “Do you think that I would let you go before I get a satisfactory answer?”
“I really can’t say it. I would be dead, too, if I said it!” Lu Silong said as he shook his head.
“Big Hou, since he doesn’t want to say it, then drag him away and shock his d*ck until he dies!” Yang Ming looked up and said to Hou Zhenhan.
“No problem!” After Hou Zhenhan finished his words, he gave a signal as though he was about to grab Lu Silong.
… “Motherf*cker! Didn’t the boss say there is no danger in this job? Why is Yang Ming’s style so evil? F*ck it. I should say it in advance so I don’t need to suffer! Now, he shouldn’t doubt it. After all, my current situation is quite critical!”
Although Yang Ming heard what Lu Silong thought, his expression didn’t change. This was his secret, the secret to victory.
Looking at Yang Ming looking straight into Lu Silong own eyes, he still had a guilty conscience but still force himself to say, “Well, I will talk… I will talk… Don’t shock me!”
“Say it now.” Yang Ming waved his hand to indicate Hou Zhenhan to wait.
“Yes… It is Sun Jie…” Lu Silong said in fear and trepidation.
