Chapter 7

Thank you, Tianlangxing1900, for your generous donation and review. At the same time, my new book is being uploaded. If you like it, could you help recommend it? I won't leave it unfinished or abandon it. As you all know, when my previous book was serialized online, I was very principled.

Anyone who is locked up in a detention center in the middle of the night would not be happy, even if they were paid. There would still be a lot of anger, so Gao Huan was ready to vent his anger on the young man in front of him.

Gao Huan had come in voluntarily, accompanied by four henchmen. His purpose was to give a severe beating to the man named Wu Yuan.

He was a small fry and didn't know who the mastermind was. He only knew that he shouldn't cause a death and shouldn't leave obvious marks.

This wasn't difficult. As a thug, he knew at least thirty ways to harm someone without leaving marks.

"Kid, I recognize you. You're the one who ran naked today. Come with me to the toilet."

Gao Huan didn't say much. After Wu Yuan came in, he gave a direct order. There were no cameras in there, so nothing would be recorded.

"Boss, let's talk it out. Since we're in the detention room, it means our crimes aren't too serious. Why don't we get along well?"

Wu Yuan smiled, but he was on high alert.

"If you're smart, you'll listen to me, got it, kid?"

The leader suddenly punched Wu Yuan in the stomach, making him curl up on the ground.

The punch was heavy, and Wu Yuan curled up on the ground, twitching. The punch was also very discreet, blocking the camera's view. Even if it was recorded, nothing could be seen.

"How did you fall? Let's go to the bathroom."

He gave a signal to his companions, and the five of them took Wu Yuan to the bathroom.

=================

What is public opinion?

For many in power, it's just a tool to be manipulated. Although there are some explosive news stories, most of the news is filtered or can be manipulated.

Wu Yuan is now a public figure, but this doesn't mean no one will dare to deal with him. It just means there will be a certain cost. Especially when the big shots think Wu Yuan won't or doesn't have the courage to speak out.

In the bathroom, there was a large bag containing the things Gao Huan needed today.

"Kid, listen up. This is just the first round."

Gao Huan smiled and took out a thick book and a hammer from the bag.

The four henchmen tightly held Wu Yuan's limbs. The thick book was placed on Wu Yuan's chest, and when the hammer struck, it would be very painful but wouldn't leave marks.

Seeing Wu Yuan's terrified expression, Gao Huan smiled, put down the hammer, and took out a stack of paper.

"But... I prefer this."

Waterboarding, known as the simplest and most unbearable torture. Placing thick paper over the nose and mouth and pouring water over it, more than eighty percent of people would confess immediately. Almost no ordinary person could endure it.

Gao Huan didn't need Wu Yuan's confession; he just needed his fear.

"Which one do you want? Nod if you like the hammer or the waterboarding."

With the hammer in his left hand and the paper in his right, Gao Huan smiled like a demon.

"By the way, my brothers don't mind men. Why don't you give them some pleasure, with your hands or mouth? Don't call out; the guards outside have been bought off. We have four hours to entertain ourselves."

After saying this, Gao Huan laughed. He loved toying with people, whether it was forcing girls into prostitution or robbing people. He enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game.

The fear, terror, pleading, and collapse of the captured person were what he loved to see.

However, what annoyed him was that the man in front of him, though showing a hint of fear and terror, didn't plead or show weakness. Instead, he was more angry.

"I didn't expect this guy to be so tough. But it's nothing. A few days ago, that girl was also stubborn, but in the end, she ended up in our hands, and she was obedient..."

Gao Huan slapped Wu Yuan's face and was about to continue when something unexpected happened.

High-voltage electricity suddenly flowed through his hand, a familiar feeling, like being hit by a police taser. His limbs went limp, and he had no strength. The high voltage damaged his nerves, and pain spread throughout his body.

"Ah!"

He screamed and lay on the ground, curled up like a shrimp, unable to move.

Almost simultaneously, his four henchmen were also hit by high-voltage electricity and fell to the ground, twitching and powerless.

=================

Wu Yuan took a deep breath and stood up from the ground.

In this world, he found himself much stronger, but unfortunately, he hadn't discovered any special abilities. He even studied so-called qi cultivation techniques, hoping to find something, but the results were disappointing.

But last night, he discovered something different about himself.

Many people cursed the police for being incompetent, but in fact, the police's tasers had hit him several times. To his surprise, although the tasers sparked, they didn't make him feel numb or injured. Instead, the electricity turned into a warm current, entering his body and flowing through his meridians, just like the qi cultivation techniques he had imagined. It formed a small mercury bead inside him.

He didn't know what it was, but instinctively realized he could store and use the electricity. When the five men were close to him, he tried to release the stored electricity, and suddenly, his body emitted a powerful electric shock, causing the five men to collapse.

The human taser was quite effective. The men lay on the ground, twitching. Wu Yuan quickly searched one of them and found a portable taser.

He didn't expect one of them to bring this in, but it was a good tool to mislead them. He could use it to make them think he had stolen the taser and knocked them out.

Next, Wu Yuan searched the men and found a roll of tape in the large bag. He tied their hands and feet securely.

"You're awake."

He kicked the still twitching Gao Huan and tapped the hammer on the ground.

"Do you want me to wake you up with the hammer, or will you wake up on your own?"

"Sir, I admit defeat. This was my mistake. When we get out, I'll treat you to a drink and apologize."

"Apologize?"

Wu Yuan laughed, picked up the hammer, and suddenly struck Gao Huan's calf.

"Smack."

The blow was a bit off, hitting the soft part of the calf rather than the bone, but it caused more pain.

"Ah!"

Gao Huan's body trembled violently, and blood spurted from his calf.

"Tell me, what's going on tonight?"

Wu Yuan picked up the hammer, sighed, and aimed at Gao Huan's calf, lifting and lowering it as if trying to aim.

"I was hired to beat you up. That's all there is to it. What more do you want?"

Gao Huan was angry, especially with his four henchmen watching.

"Smack!"

Wu Yuan's hammer struck Gao Huan's calf again, the sound of metal hitting bone clear to everyone's ears.

"Speak properly, and be polite. Understand? I'm the one questioning you now."

Wu Yuan smiled, looking at Gao Huan's twisted calf, and then asked the others, "Does anyone know what's going on tonight? Speak up, and I won't hurt you. Otherwise, a hammer to the knee will cause a compound fracture, and you'll spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair."

"You bastard!"

"Devil, you're a devil."

One of the men broke down, shouting. Wu Yuan's actions were so casual, as if smashing someone with a hammer was as simple as drinking water.

"Looks like no one wants to talk?"

Wu Yuan raised the hammer and struck Gao Huan's knee again.

With a "smack," Gao Huan's bound body jumped up like a shrimp and twisted on the ground, shouting, "Guard, guard, come in and save us!"

His hands were tied behind his back, and his legs were bound with tape, making it impossible to escape.

"Guard?"

Wu Yuan laughed and raised the hammer.

"From the time the door opens to here, it will take at least ten seconds. In those ten seconds, I can hit each of your heads with the hammer. And I doubt the cameras and microphones in this room are working."

He kicked Gao Huan, and his shoe made intimate contact with his teeth. Gao Huan, who was shouting, was hit in the jaw, possibly biting his tongue, and his voice became quieter.

"Wu Yuan, we're just trying to make a living. Don't be so ruthless!"

One of Gao Huan's henchmen pleaded, his eyes flickering.

"Ruthless?"

Gao Huan and his men, though just pawns, were often more despicable in their actions.

If Wu Yuan hadn't used electricity to knock them out, he would have been the one tortured. When Gao Huan mentioned his past crimes, the others had laughed.

They weren't doing this for the first time. What about the girl whose life they had ruined? Where could she seek justice?

To deal with evil people, you must be even more ruthless.
