Chapter 424: Torturing Xi Shijin
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“How did you frighten him?” Nan Yan was quite curious about the methods Xing Jia used to make Xi Shijin mentally collapse.
Considering her knowledge of Xi Shijin, who could be ruthlessly cruel even to those he considered family, she wondered what could possibly frighten him.
In her eyes, he had long lost his humanity and was willing to do anything to achieve his goals, showing no reverence for life. Scaring someone like him wasn’t an easy task.
Xing Jia said with a triumphant tone, “Ordinary methods wouldn’t work, so I targeted the things he cares about the most.”
“Sometimes, death isn’t the scariest thing; losing everything is. Especially for someone like him, who has reached a certain height, is hypocritical, and values fame and fortune. Making him lose everything is even more unbearable for him than killing him.”
Nan Yan sneered, “His mental fortitude is really lacking.”
Xing Jia enthusiastically nodded, “That’s right, he’s just a coward!”
“I’ll go in and take a look.”
Nan Yan opened the door, turned on the room’s lights while entering, and then closed the door behind her.
Xi Shijin seemed to have suffered a severe shock when the door opened, causing his body to shudder.
Seeing Nan Yan, he acted as if he had seen a savior and quickly said, “Yanyan, please save me! Save me!”
“I will make you the vice director of the research institute in the future, give you all the honors, and let you become my right-hand man. Everything I say is true!”
Xi Shijin’s fear of Xing Jia didn’t solely stem from the threats she made. It was more about her mentioning “Nan Yan” being reborn and seeking revenge on him.
He had a guilty conscience, having stained his hands with the blood of so many members of the Nan family. He was genuinely afraid that if Nan Yan were indeed reborn, she would come to kill him!
Nan Yan looked at him expressionlessly, took out a white porcelain bottle from her pocket, opened the lid, and poured out a pill.
She held his face up with her hand and forcefully shoved the pill into his mouth.
Xi Shijin refused to swallow it and desperately tried to spit it out.
However, the pill dissolved in his mouth and slid down his throat.
“Cough… Gag…” Xi Shijin tried to induce vomiting by sticking his fingers into his throat, but nothing came out. He pointed at Nan Yan with trembling hands and asked, “What did you make me swallow?”
Nan Yan calmly replied, “A poison that will make you wish for death.”
“You and Nyan are in cahoots!”
Xi Shijin had temporarily forgotten that Xing Jia had been introduced to his lab by Nan Yan.
“How did I never realize that your brain is so incredibly stupid?” Nan Yan mocked, though she herself had been even more foolish in the past.
She had allowed herself to be deceived by someone like him, which was utterly foolish.
Without giving Xi Shijin time to consider what she meant by “in the past,” the poison began to take effect.
It was even more excruciating than being disemboweled, spreading from the inside out.
Every cell, every organ, every bone, all of it screamed in agony.
The pain was so unbearable that Xi Shijin wished he could end his life immediately, just to escape this bone-chilling torment.
He screamed in agony, tears, snot, and saliva gushing out simultaneously.
He even tried to bash his head against the wall, hoping to pass out.
However, the intense pain caused his entire body to convulse, rendering him incapable of exerting any strength.
His attempt to divert his attention by hitting the wall only resulted in a slight headache, as he was unable to concentrate on anything else.
“Ahhhh…”
“Kill me… Please, kill me!”
“I’m dying, it hurts so much, it’s unbearable…”
Separated by a door, Xing Jia shuddered all over upon hearing the agonizing screams from inside the room.
What did Miss Nan do? She had never seen someone so terrified! She really wanted to go in and take a look!
Inside the room, Nan Yan chuckled and said, “If you want me to spare your life, you’ll need to obediently play the role of a loyal dog and lead me to the headquarters of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
Xi Shijin contemplated this difficult choice for a moment. If he were to be discovered by the Seven Deadly Sins, his betrayal would result in a fate more agonizing than death.
However, the current poison coursing through his body was excruciating, and he longed for relief. He nodded vigorously at Nan Yan, saying, “I’ll do it, I’ll do anything as long as you save me now!”
Nan Yan took out a pill bottle and threw a temporary antidote pill that could alleviate his symptoms on the ground.
Xi Shijin hastily scrambled and crawled towards the pill, swallowing it immediately.
Without waiting for Xi Shijin’s painful symptoms to ease, Nan Yan forcefully lifted him up and hastened toward the Seven Deadly Sins Headquarters.
She understood that time was of the essence, as Shen Junqing and Bai Chen were enduring torture there.
As she made her way there, she instructed Li Yuan to arrange for Qin Yi and several covert guards to join her later after she had gathered initial information.
With Xi Shijin’s high authority, they gained easy access to the headquarters. Xi Shijin knew that Shen Junqing and Bai Chen were likely imprisoned in the secretive laboratory, so he led Nan Yan there discreetly.
Upon opening the door, Nan Yan was horrified and filled with anger.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and tears welled up as she beheld the gruesome sight before her.
She had expected her third brother and Bai Chen to suffer, but the extent of their torment was beyond imagination.
It was a brutal and gruesome scene, with Bai Chen’s body discolored and swollen like a lifeless corpse.
Even more horrifyingly, Shen Junqing had lost consciousness, covered in bleeding wounds, with his abdomen sliced open, revealing his internal organs.
This shocking scene left Nan Yan trembling with a mixture of fear and rage.
She wasn’t sure if they could still be saved at this point. Immediate surgery with proper medical equipment from the hospital was essential, and she needed to move them quickly.
Her next step was to bring Li Yuan, Qin Yi, and others for assistance.
She gently touched Bai Chen and reassured him, “I arrived late, Bai Chen, but I promise I’ll return soon with help.”
With what little consciousness and energy he had left, Bai Chen replied, “I knew you’d come back to rescue us. I trust you…”
Turning to her unconscious third brother, she murmured, “Third brother, I’m so sorry. I’ll definitely save you. Please hang on.”
After wiping away her tears, she grabbed Xi Shijin and insisted that he guide her out and bring her team in to rescue them..
