Ling Zhenfei suddenly hoisted Horse-Face up and removed his horse-head mask to reveal the face of a middle-aged man, then slapped his face hard with every blow.
Smack! Smack!
After a flurry of hits, Horse-Face's face was as swollen as a pig's head, at which point he dared not speak recklessly anymore; even if he wanted to speak, it wasn't easy.
"Spill it, who sent you guys?" Ling Zhenfei really wanted to know which power was behind this group.
"I can't tell you that, we have professional integrity!" Horse-Face managed to squeeze out a sentence.
Slap!
"Professional my ass!"
Ling Zhenfei slapped him again, hard enough that Horse-Face dared not speak anymore.
"If you keep hitting this brother, he'll be damaged beyond repair. Better to leave the interrogation to us; we might be able to get sothing out of him."
"You better be careful then, these two might be injured now, but they're incredibly dangerous. If they escape, there will be big trouble."
"Thank you so much, we'll be careful," Xiao Qing said, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
At that mont, a few people ca up, held Horse-Face down, and tied him up, then bound him together with Ox Head. The people on the truck also got down, including several female investigators who looked sharp and competent as they began to question Ox Head and Horse-Face.
Ling Zhenfei walked over to Long Hai, who by then had been propped up and was currently sitting on the ground, leaning against a tire to rest.
Perhaps knowing that Ling Zhenfei was coming over, Long Hai opened his eyes and sized him up: "Li Hao, thank you so much for saving us. May I know how to address you?"
"No need for formalities, sir. My na is Ling Zhenfei. I also want to apologize for being slow to act, or else you wouldn't have been injured," Ling Zhenfei said, having taken off his mask already, showing respect in his conversation with Long Hai.
Long Hai, quite understanding, replied, "How could I bla you for this? You decided to help us, which was already a blessing. Without you, I shudder to think of the consequences."
"Thank you for saying that. I'm a doctor, so how about I take a look at your injuries?"
"No need to trouble yourself, I heal quickly; it won't be long before I'm fine." Long Hai surprisingly did not accept Ling Zhenfei's offer. Considering Long Hai was a cultivator, such physical injuries would heal before long, which was one of the benefits of being a cultivator.
Moreover, with Ling Zhenfei being so young, who could know how skilled he really was in the dical Arts.
"Let give you a massage anyway; it can help you to recover faster. You're in great danger now, and they still need your protection."
Convinced by Ling Zhenfei's words, Long Hai agreed on the spot, and Ling Zhenfei stepped forward to start treating him. With the Perspective Eye, Ling Zhenfei could see the fractures in Long Hai's bones and used massage techniques to realign the broken bones.
Though it sounded simple, the process was quite challenging. However, Ling Zhenfei was patient, chatting with Long Hai while treating him.
Long Hai was clearly curious about Ling Zhenfei, constantly asking about his circumstances; Ling Zhenfei did not lie and told him everything, sensing that Long Hai was very dependable.
"I am surprised that soone as young as you is already a young boss."
Long Hai seed very interested when Ling Zhenfei talked about his villa, and they chatted a lot about it.
"Big Brother Long, I actually already know who you are. I was hiding behind Ox Head and Horseface when they were discussing, and I eavesdropped on their conversation. You're part of the investigation team, right?"
After hearing this, Long Hai was taken aback and after thinking for a few seconds, he finally said, "That's right, we are from the investigation team."
"So, are you here to investigate Zhou Yang, or to investigate the incident at the Imperial Palace Club?"
As Ling Zhenfei spoke, Long Hai suddenly beca tense, and the atmosphere was instantly heightened.
"Who are you, and why do you know our secrets?" Long Hai's voice turned serious, no longer amiable like during the casual chat before.
"You needn't be anxious, Big Brother Long. Didn't I already tell you all about my situation? Everything I said is true, and there's a lot I'm aware of, so there's no need to be surprised."
"What exactly do you know? Speak up, tell everything." Long Hai's expression beca even more grim.
"I also know that you've received an email. You ca to Binyang to investigate because of this email, didn't you?"
"Yes, what you said is all correct, but now I'm questioning your identity!" Long Hai started to exude a killing aura again.
"I've already told you everything about my identity. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have intervened just now. What you should be doing is finding the mole within your investigation team."
Having a mole in the investigation team, the irony of the situation was palpable: originally there to investigate others, they now had to start by investigating themselves.
"Are you saying there's a mole among us?" Long Hai looked around at the people nearby and in the distance with surprise, clearly considering who might be the mole.
"Your movents and routes are known so clearly, isn't that evidence of a mole? If you don't root out this mole, your every step in Binyang will be difficult."
"That's impossible, these people have been my loyal employees for four or five years, they wouldn't betray the organization." Long Hai found it hard to believe.
"Given the right price, betrayal is just a matter of ti," Ling Zhenfei said indifferently. He had seen too many betrayals already; it was all a ga of power.
"I see, you an soone among them has been bought off. But to find out who it is won't be easy," Long Hai was quick to understand.
"As long as you want to, it's not hard to get a lead. You now have Ox Head and Horseface in your custody, you should be able to extract so information from them."
"Do you have any ideas?" Long Hai knew that since Ling Zhenfei had brought it up, he must have a plan.
"I have a plan. Listen to ..."
Ling Zhenfei shared his strategy with Long Hai, who thought the idea through and felt that it was indeed a good plan.
"Excellent, this idea is very good. There's no ti to delay. How about we use this tactic right away? I wonder if Brother Ling could join in this act. Right now, with a mole inside the investigation team, I can't trust anyone temporarily."
Ling Zhenfei nodded. Since things had co this far, he might as well see it through and help the investigation team catch the mole. That would make the team's work easier. As long as the investigators could clarify the situation in Binyang and eliminate the pests, then perhaps his Black Death Order could be lifted.
After about an hour of continuous treatnt, the fractures inside Long Hai had been set back into place. With proper rest, there should be no problem. The superficial skin wounds had also been treated and bandaged, and for a cultivator, such injuries were even easier to heal.
"Shall we begin?"
