Chapter 688: Inflict the Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty on Him

Ji Hanyu glared at Li Mingmo, "Let’s focus on the important stuff. Why are you hitting him? Besides, isn’t he telling the truth? Why get so angry about it?"Li Mingmo: "..."

Xi Wei: "..."

Bai Haoxue: "..."

Ding: "..."

My goodness, is the big shot really this shameless? Is the big shot really so narcissistic?

"Heh heh." Li Mingmo rolled his eyes at Ji Hanyu, leaving him to figure it out himself.

Ding said, "Before they left, that Number Three made a phone call. He said, I’m at the abandoned factory in the western suburbs, send a car to pick me up.

Who knows what the person on the other end said, but then Number Three angrily shouted, don’t mention that fool Zhuang Yunge to me again."

"Who did he call?" Li Mingmo asked.

"Ye Jinyan..."

"Ye Jinyan, how are you sure it’s Ye Jinyan?" The person asking was Xi Wei.

Ding said, "When they were on the phone, I couldn’t clearly hear who it was.

But I never completely passed out. Even though I was inside the factory, I could hear the commotion outside.

Not long after Number Three and Zhang Lei went out, a car arrived outside.

Number Three laughed and said, Ye Jinyan, I didn’t expect you would come to pick me up in person?"

"Ye Jinyan..." Xi Wei frowned and said, "I can’t believe I thought he was a good person."

Li Mingmo: "You and Ye Jinyan have no connection. Why did you assume he was a good person, just because he’s handsome?"

Xi Wei: "..."

"How do we have no connection? Previously, when our ’Seeking Words in the Golden Era’ crew and Jiang Kelan’s ’Suying’s Story’ crew had a conflict, it was Ye Jinyan who came to mediate.

Even though he’s with Jiang Kelan, he spoke and acted very fairly, so I thought he was a good person."

As for Ye Jinyan, what Xi Wei knew was what Bai Haoxue once told her—Haoxue and Ye Jinyan are in a fake marriage, and Ye Jinyan likes Jiang Kelan.

But on the day the two crews had a conflict, Ye Jinyan didn’t favor Jiang Kelan’s side just because she was his beloved, which made Xi Wei have a good impression of him.

Ding said, "Miss Yiyi, I had the same reaction as you. Ye Jinyan has a pretty good reputation in B City, so I always thought he was a gentleman. Who would have thought he was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing?"

Unlike Xi Wei and Ding’s surprise,

Ji Hanyu, Bai Haoxue, and Li Mingmo remained calm.

After all, they already knew there was a connection and a collaboration between Ye Jinyan and Number Three.

...

On the way back to the villa, Li Mingmo asked Ji Hanyu, "Do you think if we go to find Ye Jinyan now, Number Three might be there with him?"

Bai Haoxue agreed, "I think we should give it a try."

Ji Hanyu: "Is Number Three that dumb? If you’re all at Ye Jinyan’s place, wouldn’t he know? Would he just wait for us to catch him? Besides, Ye Jinyan isn’t an idiot either."

Li Mingmo: "I might as well just go and kidnap Ye Jinyan, then torture him with the ten great tortures of the Qing Dynasty to make him spill the secrets between him and Number Three."

Number Three is just like them, so this method doesn’t work.

But Ye Jinyan is different. Raised in a wealthy family as a pampered son, he may be delicate and pampered, but his mental toughness is nowhere near theirs.

This time, Bai Haoxue not only disagreed but also laughed: "If you go and kidnap Ye Jinyan, you might as well kiss your recently earned Colonel rank goodbye, and your dream of becoming a General might just remain a dream forever."

Li Mingmo: "..."
