222 Recognizing Reality
Shan Yue’s lips curled into a very mocking smile. “Looks like you’re the one who doesn’t recognize reality. Putting aside whether your people outside can save you or not, they’re almost all dealt with, yet you’re still dreaming here. Okay, let’s say that your brothers aren’t dealt with yet. Don’t say that I’m bullying you. I’ll let all of you attack together. I’ll even admit defeat if you can beat me.”
“That’s impossible!”
“I can’t be bothered to waste time with you. I have one question. Tell me the answer I want. I can save you from so much physical pain.” Shan Yue pursed her lips and touched the ring in her hand a few times. “Who sent you? If I’m not mistaken, it should be Victor.”
Hunter turned his head away. “Since I’m in your hands now, I admit defeat. You can kill me or torture me, but if you want me to reveal anything, I advise you to stop daydreaming.”
Shan Yue took the opportunity to pick up the knife on the ground and hold it to Hunter’s neck. “I’ll give you another chance. It’s really not worth losing your life for your master. Tell me and I’ll spare your life.”
“Hmph.” Hunter glared at him. “You really underestimate us. We’ve long disregarded life. Don’t talk so much nonsense. Even if I die here today, I won’t reveal a word.”
When Shan Yue saw this, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. “Yo, I really couldn’t tell. You’re still a tough nut to crack. However, I like ambitious people like you. I’ll let you say whatever you want later.”
Shan Yue turned around and took out a pill the size of a fingernail from her bag. First, she slapped Hunter in the back and stuffed the pill into his mouth while he was opening his mouth.
This pill was also a very common medicine in the organization, but it was used to get information. Anyone who took it would immediately take effect within half a minute. After two minutes, they would tell everything they knew.
Hunter looked especially flustered. His eyes widened. “What exactly did you feed me?”
Shan Yue sneered. “Of course it’s something good. You’ll know later.” After waiting for about half a minute, Shan Yue saw that the drug had basically begun to take effect, so she squatted in front of Hunter. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Hunter.”
“Who sent you tonight?” Shan Yue asked, taking a step down.
Hunter said in a groggy voice, “It’s Master Victor and Mr. Assistant.”
“So you’re all working for Victor?”
“We’re all privately raised by Young Master Victor. You won’t be able to find out our identities in the Smith family.”
“This Victor is quite smart.” Shan Yue’s lips curled into a teasing smile. “He actually thought of using someone outside the family. When something really happens, it won’t be traced back to him.”
After asking the general questions, without waiting for the drug to wear off, Shan Yue slapped Hunter directly and woke him up from the drug in advance. At this moment, it was too late for Hunter to regret it.
At this moment, the sounds of fighting outside gradually stopped. Shan Yue also got what she wanted, so she pushed open the door and found that all the killers outside had been restrained by Zhou Xuan’s bodyguards, so Shan Yue also pulled Hunter up and threw him into the crowd outside the house.
Zhou Xuan pushed open the door first, followed by the frightened Mu Wei and Carter. Looking at the spectacular scene outside the house, the anger in his stomach burned.
“You people are really tired of living.” Carter looked at the killers angrily. “Who sent you and how much money did they give you?”
At this moment, the air was very awkward. The sudden silence was unexpected.
“Mr. Carter, you’d better not ask. You won’t be able to get an answer like this.” Shan Yue’s expression was very relaxed, and her red lips were slightly parted. “They’ve all undergone professional training. They won’t reveal their employer’s identity. Even if you keep asking, the outcome will be in vain.”
“I don’t need to ask to know that Victor must have done it. He wanted to kill me to silence me and then naturally become the heir of the family.” Carter frowned. “But it’s really all thanks to Mr. Zhou that I was able to escape successfully this time. Without your arrangements, I’m afraid I would have been doomed.”
