Chapter 45

Update Time: April 20, 2013

‘Gul, gul!’ The man, who must have been extremely thirsty, drank the scalding water in large gulps without hesitation.

"Hey, slow down, don't burn yourself!" the woman's voice called out.

"Ha ha, do you think I, Wen Junlai, would be afraid of a mere cup of tea? I am one of the six heavenly protectors... Uh...?" 'Peng, peng!' Before he could finish his sentence, the adulterous couple found themselves stiff as wood, their muscles rigid, and they both fell onto the disheveled bed!

"This is...? Oh no, we've been poisoned!" Wen Junlai's reaction was quick, and he immediately realized what had happened. However, seeing Mei'er, who had also fallen and was unable to move, with a look of extreme panic in her eyes, he knew it wasn't a trap set by his lover. "Who could it be? Could it be that Commander Gongsun discovered our affair and acted in secret?"

At this thought, he was almost fainting with fear. "Gongsun Furan is known for his cruelty. If he catches me like this, I might not even be able to die easily!"

As he thought this, the numbness began to dissipate, replaced by a feeling of weakness and softness, as if all the bones had been extracted from his body, leaving him a pile of limp mud!

"What a powerful poison. I have practiced for so many years and have never heard of such a strange poison. Who could it be?"

"Junlai...!" Mei'er looked pitifully at her lover, who was just as helpless as she was, and the same thought crossed her mind: they must have been discovered by Gongsun. Despair filled her heart.

"Ha ha...!" With a light laugh, Yun Mo, dressed in black and carrying a bag, appeared at the foot of the bed.

Uh...? The two were startled to see a little boy crawl out from under the bed, and then they felt a glimmer of hope, as long as it wasn't Gongsun.

"Little brother... you...?" The woman struggled to speak, trying to win Yun Mo's favor with her gentle voice.

"Shut up, you bitch!" Yun Mo shouted, startling the naked couple on the bed almost into a faint. Seeing Yun Mo's eyes blazing with anger, the two were at a loss, not knowing how they had offended this boy they had never met.

"Little brother...!" Wen Junlai's eyes darted around, trying to beg for mercy.

'Slap'! A large slap landed mercilessly on his right cheek!

'Puff'! Five or six broken teeth mixed with blood splattered onto the woman's face!

"Ahh!" The two screamed in unison, one in pain, the other in fear.

Unfortunately, their voices were too weak. Even on a clear day, no one in the building would have heard them, let alone in this stormy weather. The bedroom was soundproofed for their pleasure, which also made it convenient for Yun Mo.

"Enough talk. Now I ask, and you answer. Understand?"

Yun Mo looked down at the two terrified people, not even glancing at the woman's ample chest.

The conversation between the woman and the adulterer had thoroughly enraged Yun Mo! Such vicious people, if Yun Mo had encountered them, he would not let them off easily. Their casual discussion of taking an innocent woman's life made Yun Mo realize that they must have done this many times before. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so adept at planning such a deed.

So Yun Mo showed no mercy!

A slap stunned the man. He looked at Yun Mo's youthful face in disbelief, thinking, "Is this really a child? How can a child be so ruthless?"

He forgot that his own actions were far more cruel. Perhaps this was a common human flaw—always thinking oneself to be good!

Seeing the two become obedient, Yun Mo smiled in satisfaction. He then reached out and grabbed the woman's silver-white hair, dragging her off the bed like a dead body, ignoring her low pleading, and dragged the beautiful woman to the bathroom door, throwing her inside like a sack of potatoes. He closed the door, turned around, and smiled at the man lying on the bed, almost scared to death. Yun Mo's white, even teeth appeared, and Wen Junlai felt his scalp tingle, thinking this was the smile of a demon!

Yun Mo walked over and kicked the man to the ground, sitting on the edge of the bed and asking, "What is Gongsun Furan's daily routine? Where does he spend the most time, and where does he definitely go? The location, the number of guards and the layout of the traps, today's entry code, and any other important details, including your identity, tell me everything!"

As he spoke, Yun Mo produced a sharp dagger from nowhere, playing with it and looking threatening.

Damn! Wen Junlai began to curse his fate. He finally understood that this child was after Gongsun. He had been caught in the crossfire, and what a mess this was!

"Little brother, you... you want to cause trouble for Gongsun... Then we're not enemies. To be honest, I've wanted to kill him for a long time. I know everything you want to know, but will you let me go after I tell you?"

The man pleaded pitifully, his once handsome face now swollen and bruised, looking worse than a dog.

Bang! Yun Mo jumped off the bed and kicked the man in the ribs, 'Crack'! He didn't know how many bones he had broken.

"Ahh!" The man's eyes watered in pain, blood spurted from his seven orifices, and his vision was filled with stars, his head buzzing!

"Stop haggling, hurry up and talk. I don't have time to waste. If you delay, I'll kill you right away. There's still a bitch left, and I'll get the information from her. I warn you, if your stories don't match, I'll make you full of transparent holes. Talk!"

Yun Mo squatted down, using the flat side of the dagger to pat Wen Junlai's injured face, speaking a series of terrifying threats.

Wen Junlai wanted to die! This child was relentless, and he didn't dare delay any longer. Seeing the killing intent in Yun Mo's eyes, he knew the child wasn't joking and could kill him at any moment. So he begged for mercy and, in broken sentences, told Yun Mo what he wanted to know.

Yun Mo listened to the man's answers, organizing the information in his mind.

Gongsun Furan was a martial arts fanatic with great ambition. Although he was lecherous and had several wives and mistresses, he didn't spend much time with women. Most of his time was spent practicing martial arts!

His practice area was located in the southeast corner of the estate, a secluded place with a one-thousand-square-meter training ground. The training ground was a fully enclosed, three-dimensional structure, guarded by a rotating team of about ten guards.

The enclosed training ground was over ten meters high, with the top and walls made of metal-reinforced materials, extremely sturdy. A soul mage had also cast protective spells on the walls, making it impossible for anyone below the peak of the Heavenly Destiny realm to shake the training ground even slightly. Clearly, this was to prevent the building from collapsing during practice, wasting countless gold coins!

As for what was inside, no one except Gongsun himself had seen it. No one was allowed to enter without permission, and violators would be killed.

Yun Mo frowned. "Gongsun is extremely cautious, even on his own territory. Indeed, those who have reached such a high position are not easy to deal with!"

To reach the training ground, one had to pass through more than a dozen small paths, some of which had traps. Yun Mo knew the man was telling the truth when he mentioned that only one of the three types of paving stones could be walked on, the other two triggering powerful traps. The willow trees in the estate could not be touched either, or they would trigger a barrage of powerful crossbows. Yun Mo was truly startled by this information, grateful for his own caution!

However, he wouldn't fully trust the man, so he would still need to interrogate the woman to verify the information.

In fact, Wen Junlai hadn't lied. He knew Yun Mo would verify the information with Mei'er, so he didn't dare to lie. He hoped that Yun Mo would spare him for his complete honesty, after all, they had no grudge against each other!

Wen Junlai was a squad leader, and unfortunately, his squad was on duty at the training ground today, so he didn't accompany Gongsun out of the estate. Instead, he took advantage of Gongsun's absence to visit his old lover. Mei'er's room had a rope ready, which was lowered from a window at the back of the small building. Wen Junlai was let in by a loyal servant girl from the garden, and he climbed up the rope unnoticed. The servant girl was extremely loyal to Mei'er, so only close maids like Lianlian and Bi Xin knew about this affair, while everyone else was in the dark!

Yun Mo laughed to himself, thinking, "We came up the same way, truly a case of great minds thinking alike!"

The only difference was that he had come uninvited, while Wen Junlai had help.

The passcode for today was 'Cloud Fog, Mist Surround!'

With this, Yun Mo finally had the information he needed, and he relaxed.

He collected a drop of Wen Junlai's blood without showing any emotion, then looked at the man with a pleading look and said, "Are you wondering why I was so ruthless with you?"

Wen Junlai's eyes showed confusion, and he focused intently.

Because...! Yun Mo leaned close and whispered, "I know Lianlian, and I like her, so you must die!"

Wen Junlai's pupils suddenly contracted! Hearing the answer, he wished he could slap himself. The character for 'lust' has a knife above it, and it was this that had led to his death. He was filled with regret!

Puff! Yun Mo switched to another dagger and stabbed the vicious man in the chest and abdomen!

Uh...! Wen Junlai's mouth spewed blood, and he was instantly burned to death by an extremely hot force, his insides completely destroyed.

Yun Mo pulled out the dagger and carefully sheathed it.

Wen Junlai's body began to dissolve with a 'sizzle' sound, his bones, muscles, and even hair melting like water from the inside out. In just five or six minutes, his body turned into a pool of clear water, without even a trace of odor!

Yun Mo was using the bone-dissolving liquid for the first time, and he was also startled by the sight of the large pool of water. This substance was indeed extremely sinister, but it was perfect for dealing with such a wicked person!
