Chapter 389 Death Soldier
After returning to Donghai Island, Murong Linger dragged several people from the boat into the military camp like dead dogs, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
General Chen heard the commotion and quickly emerged from the room. He pushed through the crowd and approached to take a closer look. He asked in surprise, "What's going on? Who are these people?"
Someone reported loudly: "General, Doctor Murong has captured a group of spies and brought them back to the island!"
Someone else added: "Moreover, Military Doctor Murong broke all these people's hands and feet!" Everyone talked about it and admired Murong Ling'er's skills.
After General Chen understood the situation, he immediately dispersed the crowd and turned to look at the frightened Murong Chen. He asked with concern, "Xiaochen, are you okay? Why did these people arrest you?"
Murong Chen's face was still a little pale. He didn't want to talk about the embarrassing incident of almost getting caught in the toilet, so he said, "Uncle Chen, these people wanted to catch me, so Mom tied them up. They were good at fighting, and Mom was afraid they would run away, so she broke their hands and feet."
Upon hearing this, General Chen's eyes widened in anger. "How dare you bully our Xiaochen? I want to see who is so bold!"
He turned to look at Murong Ling'er and said seriously, "Miss Murong, let me interrogate these people. I will definitely find out who is behind this!"
Murong Linger nodded slightly. She knew in her heart that the mastermind behind the scenes was most likely Concubine Rong's party or the Ji family, but she did not say it out loud.
General Chen acted decisively. After sending these people to the dungeon, he immediately used torture to interrogate them.
However, these villains were very stubborn and refused to say anything.
……
Chu Lingfeng spurred his horse and galloped towards the military camp, his horse's hooves raising clouds of dust.
When Chu Lingfeng hurried to the military camp, the scene in front of him made him frown slightly. He saw several killers lying on the ground, dying, obviously after a fierce fight.
General Chen, beaming, strode forward. He was a burly figure, his armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight. "Sir, you're finally here! These guys are truly formidable."
Chu Lingfeng glanced at the killer on the ground, his expression stern: "Did you find out anything?"
General Chen scratched his head, a trace of helplessness on his face. "Alas, these guys are very tight-lipped. The brothers have tried everything, but they refuse to utter a single word."
Chu Lingfeng had already anticipated this. Since Concubine Rong had sent out assassins, they must be carefully selected trusted assassins. It would be very difficult to pry clues out of them.
But he still decided to meet these assassins in person, maybe he could find some clues.
The dungeon of the military camp was dark and damp, filled with a disgusting smell of blood. As soon as Chu Lingfeng stepped into the dungeon, he noticed an unusual silence. His hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he walked forward vigilantly.
When he arrived at the cell where the assassins were held, he was stopped in his tracks by the bloody figures on the ground.
General Chen, who was following closely behind, was also shocked by the scene and cried out. He hurried forward and said, "These... couldn't they all be beaten to death?" As he said that, he leaned over and turned one of them over.
At this moment, the man who seemed lifeless suddenly opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of resentment and anger, staring straight at General Chen.
General Chen was so frightened that he took a step back. When he came to his senses, he slapped the man in anger and said, "How dare you pretend to be dead and scare me, you little bastard!"
Chu Lingfeng ignored this little incident. His eyes were as cold as ice, and he said in a deep voice, "Continue the interrogation, at all costs. I don't believe that we can't pry open their mouths."
General Chen immediately accepted the order: "Yes! Don't worry, my lord. I will make them reveal the mastermind behind this."
~~~
At the same time, in a hidden courtyard in Longmen City, the atmosphere was solemn.
A sturdy man hurried into the room and knelt on one knee. "Boss, this is bad! Lao Si and his gang were captured during the Yipinxian operation and have been taken to the military camp on the island. The entire Yipinxian staff has been replaced, and Manager Chen has disappeared without a trace. I heard he committed a crime and was taken to the government office."
The man called the boss sat on a chair, wearing a black mask, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
He just snorted coldly: "Committing a crime? I'm afraid your identity has been exposed."
"Boss, what should we do now? Should we go and rescue the fourth brother and the others?" the man asked anxiously.
The masked man pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Don't worry. Saving people is not the best option. The most urgent thing is to capture Murong Chen. With him, we will have the bargaining chip to negotiate with Chu Lingfeng."
"Yes, I understand." The man took the order and left, secretly admiring his boss's calmness and decisiveness.
Back in the military camp dungeon, General Chen was trying every possible way to torture those death squads.
The branding iron burned red in the brazier and scalded the skin of the dead man, making a sizzling sound and accompanied by a burning smell.
The whip lashed at them like a poisonous snake, leaving streaks of blood that were shocking to see.
What's worse, General Chen ordered his men to roast the dead soldiers over the fire. The flames licked their bodies and their screams echoed in the dungeon, but even so, they still gritted their teeth and refused to say a word.
Chu Lingfeng stood in a corner of the dungeon, looking at the scene in front of him. His face was as cold as frost, and his eyes revealed his determination to not give up until he achieved his goal.
He knew in his heart that these assassins were the key to his finding out the truth, and he had to get clues from them no matter what the cost.
After a long time, General Chen saw that the soldiers had been tortured beyond recognition and that they would be burned to death if they continued like this. He reluctantly ordered them to be released: "Prince, why don't you give them a break? Don't kill them all. You won't be able to get anything out of them then."
Chu Lingfeng looked at the assassins who were almost burnt to death, nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the dungeon.
He was feeling depressed and decided to go find Murong Chen. This child was his treasure. After what happened this time, he was filled with guilt and fear.
When he arrived at Murong Chen's residence, Chu Lingfeng saw his son concentrating on fiddling with a bunch of weapon models, his little face full of seriousness.
Murong Ling'er sat aside, holding a book in her hand, and looked up at Murong Chen from time to time.
Chu Lingfeng walked forward, squatted down, and gently touched Murong Chen's head, his eyes full of concern and self-blame: "Chen'er, did I scare you this time? It's Dad's fault for not protecting you well."
Murong Chen raised his head with a bright smile on his face: "Dad, I'm not afraid. I was thinking that if those bad guys come, I will use these weapons to drive them away!"
As he spoke, he picked up a small spear model and waved it in the air a few times, looking very cute.
Chu Lingfeng looked at his son's innocent appearance, and the haze in his heart dissipated a little, but then a firm murderous intent surged up again.
He secretly vowed that he would never let anyone threaten his son's safety again, and those who attempted to harm his family would pay a heavy price.
Murong Ling'er looked at the change in Chu Lingfeng's expression, opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just quietly closed and opened the book in her hand.
