Fang Yuanyuan had wanted to struggle when she saw Huang He.
There was still a distance between them. When their gazes met, she stopped struggling.
Everything was as though silent for a moment.
Huang He did not say anything as he narrowed his eyes slowly.
He was able to keep calm, but Brother Steel was unsettled by the sight before him.
After pausing for a while, he glared at Liang before speaking to the eye-patch guy in an ingratiating manner. âSecond Brother⊠youâre here to save me? Itâs boss who let you come to save me?â
The eye-patch guy had an obnoxious expression. âYou still had the cheek to say this?â
Brother Steel immediately understood.
He glanced maliciously at Liang, who was beside the eye-patch guy. Gritting his teeth, he swallowed the hatred inside his chest and continued to pretend to be obsequious.
âSecond Brother, I didnât do my job well this time and the police managed to seek us out. Itâs my fault. When I meet boss, Iâm going to kneel down before him and admit my mistakes⊠Iâll accept whatever punishment he mete out to meâŠâ
âYou still want to meet boss?â The eye-patch guy took a step forward and pointed the gun at him. âHow much guts do you have to play us like monkeys?â
Brother Steel quivered and was shocked. âSecond Brother⊠where did this come from?â
Eye-patch guy: âYouâve colluded with the police long ago, right? The goods and the lives of our brothers are your tribute to the police?â
âI⊠I didnât! Second Brother, youâve wronged me!â Brother Steel felt that he was being accused and pointed at Liang furiously. âSecond Brother, Liang is the b*stard who betrayed us. Donât believe his nonsenseâheâs the one who lured the police to Vultureâs Mouth. Everything turned out this way because of himââ
The eye-patch guy yelled at him and pointed his gun at Huang He.
âYou claimed that you didnât collude with the police? Then tell me, who is this person? How are you going to explain this?â
Brother Steel was dumbfounded.
He turned to took at Huang He, his heart nearly jumping out of his mouth.
Was there really a problem with Huang He?
Nevertheless, Huang Heâs expression was certainly calmer than him.
Brother Steel took a breath and calmed down a little.
âSecond Brother, please listen to me. This is Brother Crown Prince. Heâs the buyer whom Brother Six introduced to us while he was alive⊠Heâs here to do a business deal with usâWell, itâs right to say that heâs the policeâŠâ
As he said this, the moment he noticed that the eye-patch guyâs expression turned darker, he quickly spat two times and hit his own mouth.
âNo, no, no, I mean, he did use to be a detective. Many people knew about him, being a detective in Jin City, Hongjiang District. Thereâs nothing to hide⊠But Brother Crown Prince is no longer a detective for a long time and heâs also in the underworld just like us. Brother Six used to regard him highly when heâs alive.â
As if worried that the eye-patch guy would not believe him, he added: âHeâs also Sister Danyueâs man!â
The eye-patch guy did not show any reaction to his words.
Fang Yuanyuan, who had lost her freedom and was being tied up, suddenly froze on the spot.
She lifted her head slowly to look at Huang He.
⊠Sister Danyueâs man.
This sentence made Fang Yuanyuanâs heart twitch in pain.
Huang He did not look at her. There was no expression on him as he stood unmoving.
âHurhur!â The eye-patch guy made a gesture as though he was weighing the gun in his hands. âDanyue⊠Can Danyueâs words be trusted? I heard that Danyueâs the very reason for Brother Sixâs downfall.â
âImpossible!â Brother Steel was so anxious that perspiration started to appear on his forehead. âSister Danyue is Brother Steelâs most trusted aide. If she betrayed Brother Six, he would have died much soonerâŠâ
The eye-patch guy yelled at him. Brother Steel also felt it was not right for him to say that.
He hummed in hesitation, his face showing a beseeching expression.
âSecond Brother, you know that Iâm honest and am not good with words⊠Heheh, please let me off? Iâve always been loyal to Dark ClanâŠâ Brother Steel then pointed behind him. âThe police found our base and wanted us to surrender. Iâm risking my life to inform boss this piece of newsâŠâ
âCrap! Just continue spinning your lies!â The eye-patch guy was not interested to listen to him.
His gaze slowly turned to Huang He. âYou said that this person is not with the police?â
Brother Steel quickly continued, âHeâs not! He used to be, but not now.â
The eye-patch guy gave a snort. He suddenly pointed and poked the gun roughly on Fang Yuanyuanâs temple.
âBut why do I feel that heâs an undercover?â
Under that force, Fang Yuanyuan tilted her head to a side powerlessly.
It was painful and humiliating!
But there was nothing that she could doâŠ
As for Huang He⊠he behaved as though he did not see what had happened.
Brother Steel looked at Huang He and then at the eye-patch guy. He was feeling very uneasy and worried.
The girl that Huang He mentioned to him earlier, should the girl who was in front of them now?
Brother Steel felt that he got played again.
But with regards to the mastermind who plotted this whole thing, he was unable to come to a conclusion.
Moreover, at this time, he was caught in a tight spot. Even if Huang He was really an undercover, the only way out for him was not to admit that.
âSecond Brother, I can guarantee that heâs really not an undercoverâreally, if not for him, back when we were at the villa, we would have been wiped out already. No way that we would be alive till nowâŠâ
âIf you bleeping died at the villa, would our base be exposed?â the eye-patch guy roared angrily.
â⊠No.â Brother Steel gasped. âBut you wonât be able to see me anymore.â
At that moment, the eye-patch guy thought that Brother Steel was capable enough to infuriate him to death.
âYou moron! Who wants to see you anyway? Youâre being played around like a fool by the police and still wanted to bring the police to find boss? Are you tired of living?â
âSecond Brother⊠Brother Crown Prince is really not a cop!â
Brother Steel was so worried that he wanted to kneel down to prove Huang Heâs innocence if that could help.
âNot a cop, huh?â The eye-patch guy suddenly revealed a sinister smile and used his gun to lift Fang Yuanyuanâs chin.
With some strength, Fang Yuanyuanâs pale face was held up high by him.
There were obvious reddish strangling marks on her neck due to her fair complexion.
Huang He squinted his eyes slightly.
The eye-patch guy was observing Huang He and then glanced at Fang Yuanyuan from the corner of his eye and pulled out the rag abruptly which they had used to gag her.
âLittle girl, you know him, right?â
Fang Yuanyuan kept quiet.
The eye-patch guy laughed. âTell me, is he with the police?â
Fang Yuanyuan looked away.
Hur! The eye-patch guy squeezed her chin and turned her face back, and then he looked toward Huang He again. âYouâre sure a tough one, like a wild kitten! I like it. How âbout this? As long as you tell me the truth, we will let you go. What say you?â
Fang Yuanyuanâs eyes were fixated on a pine tree swaying by the winds on the mountain. âI do know this person.â
âHeâs my ex-boyfriend, an unfaithful scum! The traitor of the police force as well as a shameless *sshole!â
âAiyo!â The eye-patch guy laughed again. âDid you watch too many dramas?
Fang Yuanyuan closed her eyes. âBelieve it or not!â
âD*mn you! Donât push your luck!â
The eye-patch guy ran out of patience and slapped Fang Yuanyuan.
Fang Yuanyuan almost shed a tear.
Reddish marks of that slap appeared on her fair face. But she bit her lower lip and resisted the urge to cry.
Donât cry, donât be sad! Take it as I got bitten by a dog. She told herself.
The eye-patch guy could not stand her stubborn behavior and squeezed her neck hard.
âAre you bleeping going to talk or not?â
Fang Yuanyuan thought for a while and pursed her lips to form a smile.
âWhy do you ask me? Just treat him as a cop will do. Itâs none of my business even if heâs dead or not! You bunch of b*stards who only know how to bully women. If youâve guts, then hurry up and finish him off! Heâs definitely a cop! Heâs the bleeping cop that should go to hell!â
Her words were merciless!
Her eyes were also glaring at Huang He as well.
The hatred in her eyes almost spilled out of her eyes.
âHe betrayed me when he got together with Tian Danyueâhe deserves death and heâs a cop. Just kill him!â
As the winds on the mountains howled, she was yelling.
The eye-patch guy did not stop her.
Huang He, on the other hand, just looked at her without a word.
âJust kill him! Kill him!
âKill this unfaithful scum!â
Fang Yuanyuan was like a lunatic as she yelled.
âYou bunch of people who only know how to bully women but got your knees weak when you see the real police?â
âHahahaha!â The eye-patch guy cackled at her words. âWhat a spunky young woman! Iâve seen many women but none quite the same as you!â
He looked at Fang Yuanyuanâs swollen face and squeezed her cheek.
âTsk, tsk, tsk, such a delicate girl! So pitiful! Itâs nothing really. He doesnât want you, I want youâŠâ
As he said this, his lips formed a sinister smile and looked coldly at Brother Steel.
âTell me then, why did he dump this woman and mixed around with someone like Tian Danyue?â
âWell⊠he had a reason to do so.â Brother Steel tried to defend.
âOf course thereâs a reason! He had depended on Tian Danyue to get close to Brother Six!â
âEven so, it was an extenuating circumstance for him, right?â Brother Steel continued, âHe hated the police and wanted revenge so he got close to Brother Six. Second Brother, sometimes, things need not be so complicated!â
âWhat the crap are you talking about!â
Brother Steel had a glum face.
He had already said all he could to defend himself and Huang He.
He had already tried to invoke sympathy in them, as well as being servile.
âBrother Crown Prince, say something! Hurry up and explain to Second Brother!â
Brother Steel had said this loudly.
And immediately after that, he quickly whispered to Huang He.
â⊠If we donât make ourselves clear, weâre going to die here!â
