“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you definitely won’t be able to walk out of here.” Leon looked at Lin Yi and said.
“Hurry up and tell me where the ore is. That way, you can still live.”
Lin Yi stood unmoved. “I don’t want to waste time on you, so I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t tell me, I’ll use force.”
“But I’m not afraid,” Keib said.
“If you don’t hand over the ore, you’ll definitely be the one to die in the end. Facing Black Snake, you can only cooperate. Otherwise, you won’t meet a good end.”
“Then there’s no need to talk any more nonsense.”
Lin Yi pointed the gun at Leon and walked to his side. He struck his neck and knocked him out.
When he woke up again, he found himself drenched and trussed to a chair. His mouth was taped shut and he couldn’t make a sound.
However, he realized that Lin Yi was fiddling with some gunpowder. He didn’t know what he was doing.
Seeing that Leon had woken up, Lin Yi walked up to him with a scalpel.
A hint of fear appeared in the latter’s eyes. Most people in their line of work were prepared to die.
Especially a small leader like Leon; he was not afraid of death.
But that didn’t make him a perfect warrior.
There were many fearless people in the world, like those who commit suicide. They too had reached that point.
However, they chose to end their lives in quick and clean ways.
This was because they wanted to avoid pain.
When it came to facing torture, the situation was entirely different.
Leon’s fear stemmed from deep within. He knew very well that Lin Yi would not let him off easily.
He didn’t know what Lin Yi was going to do.
But he knew that this man was capable of anything.
Lin Yi didn’t waste any time. He cut open Leon’s pants and made a centimeterdeep cut on his calf.
Blood dripped from the sharp scalpel. Leon was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Lin Yi didn’t say anything and sprinkled the gunpowder on his wound.
Seeing this scene, Leon’s body trembled. He could guess what Lin Yi was going to do.
However, his mouth was sealed and he could only make whimpering sounds. It was not enough for him to reveal the information.
Lin Yi didn’t say anything, nor did he hesitate. He lit the gunpowder with a lighter.
The blinding light burned on Leon’s calf.
The heart-wrenching pain made his face contort, and then his body spasmed. It was so painful that he rolled his eyes.
Just as he was about to faint, Lin Yi slashed his leg again.
Under the stimulation of the sharp pain, Leon regained consciousness. Lin Yi sprinkled the gunpowder on it again and prepared to do the same.
Leon shook his head crazily. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of this kind of torture.
Lin Yi tilted his head. “Are you going to tell me now?”
Leon nodded frantically. The pain had driven him beyond reason.
This man was a devil. Nothing good would come of going against him.
Lin Yi pointed the gun at Leon’s head and pulled off the tape on his mouth.
“Tell me, where is he?”
“He’s in a warehouse to the northwest. You’ll be able to find him there.”
“Then please come with me.” Lin Yi said.
“But before that, I want you to move all the weapons here to the car outside.”
“But my leg is already…”
“If you want to die, just say so. I don’t mind sending you to G.o.d.”
“No, no, no. I’ll move.”
Lane stood up, but the pain in his leg instantly made him collapse.
However, Lin Yi was standing behind him, making him feel like his back was being p.r.i.c.ked. He stood up with difficulty and endured the immense pain as he limped and carried the three boxes of ammunition to the car.
At the same time, Lin Yi also brought the dozens of guns in the house to the car.
Apart from that, Lin Yi also used timed explosives to make a small detonator. This way, the initiative would be in his hands.
When the two of them were done with their preparations, the sky was already starting to brighten.
Lin Yi placed Leon in the pa.s.senger seat.
Then, he drove towards the northwest.
As the leader of Team 4, Leon had a certain status among these people.
Seeing that he was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat, no one came up to stop him. They did not stop to ask any questions and the journey was smooth.
However, when they arrived at the warehouse in the northwest, they realized that there was no one there.
Lin Yi’s pupils constricted. He held the gun to Leon’s head and looked around cautiously.
He was afraid that this was a trap!
“If you dare to play tricks on me, believe it or not, I’ll shoot you dead!”
“I’m not!”
Leon said excitedly, “The leader did bring him here, but I don’t know why there’s no one here anymore. I need to call and ask.”
Lin Yi looked around and didn’t sense any danger. There shouldn’t be anyone lying in ambush nearby.
“Callhim now!”
“Okay.”
Leon picked up his phone while Lin Yi looked around in case anything happened.
But at the door, he saw a long pool of blood.
It extended for more than ten meters from the door, then stopped abruptly.
Lin Yi shivered, using his profiling skills to deduce the cause of the blood trail.
Someone must have been dragged out of the warehouse.
The blood on the ground came from that person.
And that person was very likely Zhou Liang!
Leon hadn’t lied. Zhou Liang might have been brought here, only to be taken away again.
Lin Yi’s body trembled violently, and he could barely hold his gun steady.
He desperately wanted to check inside the warehouse but didn’t dare to.
For the first time, Lin Yi felt fear, confronted with something he couldn’t face.
He was afraid his emotions would collapse.
At this moment, Leon finished his call.
“They’re on Hank Street. We’ll find them there.”
“You lead the way.”
“Okay…”
Lin Yi was expressionless as he drove towards Hank Street.
Seconds ticked by, and they were getting closer to Hank Street.
But as time pa.s.sed, Lin Yi became more and more uneasy.
He could not wait to save Zhou Liang, but he was afraid of rushing there.
He was afraid that he would see a scene that he could not bear.
The struggle and torment in his heart made him feel conflicted, and his mind almost collapsed.
The sun rose in the east, shedding light as a symbol of hope.
But in Lin Yi’s eyes, this was another level of darkness.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at Hank Street.
Lin Yi’s car stopped at the entrance of the street.
Because dozens of meters ahead, he saw a Land Rover.
The car drove very slowly. It was not even moving as fast as a person running.
There was a rope tied to the back of the car.
At the other end of the rope, a man was being dragged, with the rope tied around his neck.
And that person…
It was Zhou Liang!
