Chapter 118 Whip Till You Smoke 2
“Very smart now, yeah!? Made some money, yeah!? Celebrate your birthday, yeah!? Liquor of many flowers, yeah!?” Every time Xiao Ma spoke a sentence, he would give Chen Yu another whip . Chen Yu, who was trapped within the circle, cowered to one side and constantly let out painful screeches . It created a very satisfying scene for the trio . Ye Shaoyang saw that it was somewhat enough, so he said, “Okay, okay, that’s enough . You might break his soul if you continue . ”
As such, Xiao Ma stopped the whipping . He looked at Chen Yu, who was now covered in stripes . Moreover, his figure had slightly blurred .
“I’ll stop for now, but you best truthfully answer brother Shaoyang’s questions, if not… . ”
Xiao Ma let out the whip and cracked it right next to him . Pa! Chen Yu’s body trembled in fear, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk . I’ll tell you everything . . . please… . ”
Ye Shaoyang wiped off his sweat and thought, This Xiao Ma can really be a good henchman . Then, he faced Chen Yu and asked in a serious tone, “Chen Yu . . . were you the one that planted the Gu?”
“What?” Chen Yu looked at him in puzzlement and answered in a shivering voice, “I . . . I thought that was just laxative?”
“Laxatives, yeah!?” Xiao Ma gave him another whip . Chen Yu let out a cry, “Please no more, no more! Please, I really thought it was laxatives or fart pills or something, please . . . brother Shaoyang; I’m really sorry…”
Then, Ye Shaoyang asked, “Who instructed you to do this?”
“Chen Jianbo, it was all his idea . Initially, I didn’t want to do it, but I was scared that he would do something to me, so I…”
Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma looked at each other, Chen Jianbo, so it was him! Then, Ye Shaoyang realized that he had not made any enemies so far other than Chen Jianbo, This punk probably has been raised like a prince, which is why he would hold such a grudge against me because I publicly shamed him .
However, Ye Shaoyang never thought that Chen Jianbo would associate himself with Gu masters and use this kind of shady tactic to gain revenge .
“I’ll give you a chance now,” Ye Shaoyang looked at Chen Yu, “To tell me everything you know about this matter . ”
Chen Yu who was still crying began to tell the story, “It was a few nights back . Chen Jianbo came to my workplace and told me to invite you to my birthday party . Then, he handed me a small bottle that contained some cream . He told me it was laxatives . He told me to rub some of the cream in your cup and serve the liquor in it to hide the smell of the cream .
“Originally, I didn’t want to do this, so I asked him why he had picked me . He said because I was the only one close to you . He said that you would not reject an invitation from me . I really had no choice . You know how Chen Jianbo is . I didn’t dare to defy him… . ”
‘Pa!’ Another whip landed on Chen Yu’s body . Then, Xiao Ma angrily asked, “Have you ever seen laxatives in cream form?!”
“I . . . I really had no idea . I thought it might be . . . viagra or something . He promised nothing bad would happen to you . That’s why I agreed to do it . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done this . ”
Ye Shaoyang did not seem to care about his excuses . He just asked, “I’ll ask you one thing, did you accept any rewards?”
Chen Yu looked down and muttered, “He gave me two hundred thousand . . . I… . ”
Ye Shaoyang coldly smiled and looked at him, “Chen Yu, if he forced you into the matter and you did this out of fear, I could understand you . But you accepted his money, so that makes you an accomplice . That’s why all the whipping you got was just . ”
“Yes, yes, brother Shaoyang . It’s all my fault . I deserve the whipping . ” Then, Chen Yu pleaded, “Please, brother Shaoyang, please forgive this friend of yours . I’ll give you the two hundred thousand as compensation, okay?”
Ye Shaoyang let out a sigh . He waved his hand and a talisman paper landed on Chen Yu . Instantly, Chen Yu started to shake . Then, he slowly faded away .
Xiao Ma asked in shock, “You killed him?”
“No . . . I’ve sent him back . ”
“You’re just going to let him go?” Xiao Ma felt slightly dissatisfied, “This piece of sh*t took a few whips and got two hundred thousand? That’s way too easy on him . ”
“Your whipping has already shaken his soul, so he’ll probably stay hospitalized for more than half a month . He would probably need that two hundred thousand to foot the hospital bill . That’s enough punishment for him I think . He’s not the main culprit anyways . ”
Xiao Ma shook his head and said, “Never knew that Chen Jianbo would know about Gu witchcraft!”
Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes and said, “Are you really that dumb? If he knew Gu witchcraft, how could I shame him multiple times so easily? He may be the mastermind, but he is definitely not the Gu master . ”
Xiao Ma felt puzzled, “But didn’t our little Loli say that Gu masters are very powerful? Why would they serve him?”
“Loli? What’s that?”
“It means someone that is cute, kawaii,” Xiao Ma explained as he knew that Ye Shaoyang did not know the term .
After some thought, Ye Shaoyang realized he was talking about Tan Xiaohui . Ever since Ye Shaoyang had saved her, he had mainly paid attention to her family history and her identity . But now that Xiao Ma had mentioned it, Ye Shaoyang recalled her short, petite body, and her cute face .
“Your observations are rather thorough,” Ye Shaoyang glanced at him and said .
“Miaojiang witches are divided into black and white . The white witches practice healing, while the black witches practice the art of Gu . The latter are few in number, but they are a bunch of no good scoundrels . They only care about money . As such, they will work for anyone . They also do not fear the law as Gu witchery leaves no evidence . ”
Finally, Xiao Ma realized, “Chen Jianbo’s family is filthy rich . All he has is money . . . that’s how he . . . damn, this punk wants to kill you for such petty things!”
This news sickened Xie Yuqing . She stood up and said, “I’ll go and arrest him now!”
Old Guo interjected, “But you can’t do anything to him . Even if you arrest him, you can’t produce any real evidence . All this Gu witchery is considered . . . magic . Not only that, Chen Jianbo’s father is pretty influential, so he might cause you trouble if you do this . ”
The frustrated Xie Yuqing said, “Then, what can we do? We can’t just go and confront him . He’ll deny everything . Even if we got Chen Yu to testify, the department won’t take it seriously . ”
Ye Shaoyang thought about it and said, “You might not be able to get to him, but there is someone else that can do something . ”
When they exited the security room, Ye Shaoyang called Zhou Jingru . She had just sent Tan Xiaohui to the airport . Their findings shocked Zhou Jingru, and she said, “I’ll bring you to Chen Jianbo now!”
“You might not be able to do anything to him . But I think that your father can help me . He can contact Chen Jianbo’s father to give pressure to Chen Jianbo . Can you ask your dad to help?”
“Of course, your matters are my matters . Plus, my father has a good impression of you . I’ll call him now . ”
Xie Yuqing felt slightly relieved after she heard Ye Shaoyang’s conversation . She excused herself and quickly went back to the department to explain her actions to her superiors . After all, she had mobilized a team to catch Chen Yu . Ye Shaoyang, Xiao Ma, and Old Guo went to a roadside vendor . They ordered some food to eat . After they ate and chatted for twenty minutes, Ye Shoayang received a call from Zhou Jingru .
