Throughout the process, the middle-aged women stared in shock.
The elder quickly stepped forward to reassure them, "Don't be afraid, we won't harm you."
Xia Luyao saw they were still flustered, so she began communicating with them in Ivya language.
After some explanations, the women gradually calmed down and provided valuable information.
"They said the town has been occupied by terrorists for a week. The men were killed, and the women and children were driven away. Currently, there are about 150 enemies in the town, mainly active in the square," Xia Luyao relayed.
The elder was deeply impressed by Xia Luyao's language skills, "Captain, you're amazing, you even know Ivya language!"
"However, the Zaka Organization is unusually courteous towards those people, even specifically instructing to prepare them a lavish dinner."
Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen immediately reacted, "The guests they mentioned are most likely Vine and his group."
Xia Luyao agreed, "I inquired from the local residents and learned that those cherished guests were placed in a prominent red building near the town center square, the most luxurious building in town. They are currently resting and will not be disturbed before dinner."
"Time is of the essence, we must inform Flying Eagle immediately and head there quickly to find Vine," the elder urgently said.
Xia Luyao nodded in agreement, "Contact Flying Eagle immediately, the town isn't big. We estimate to meet on the east side of the red building in fifteen minutes."
While the elder quickly used a communicator to contact Flying Eagle and others, a middle-aged woman handed Xia Luyao a map. She gratefully thanked her in Ivya language, then arranged for them to hide and await instructions from the Dragon Commando for evacuation.
Immediately after, Lin Beichen, Xia Luyao, and the elder hurriedly headed towards the red building at the square's center.
...
Fifteen minutes later, all members of the Venomous Snake Special Team gathered punctually below the red building.
"They've just settled down and should still be resting. Let's take this chance to sneak in and control them," Xia Luyao analyzed and proposed.
The team members nodded, and after a brief discussion, they silently entered the building.
The interior of the building was luxuriously decorated, full of local characteristics, but they had no time to appreciate it, quickly splitting up and sneaking into various rooms.
When they entered the upstairs bedrooms, they found the targets lying on the beds, resting.
The team members immediately took action, knocking them out one by one and tying them up.
After confirming the headcount, Thunder excitedly shouted, "Great, it's them!"
Looking at the tied-up group, Wild Ox curiously asked, "What should we do next?"
Lin Beichen casually replied, "Of course, wake them up with water and have a good interrogation."
Wild Ox eagerly brought a basin of water and splashed it onto the bound persons.
They woke up shocked to find themselves tied up, surrounded by Huaxia special forces.
"Who are you? What do you want?" a burly bearded man nervously asked.
Lin Beichen coldly smiled, "It's us asking you now. Tell me, who is Vine?"
The bound individuals exchanged looks of shock.
Their trip was extremely secretive, known only to the Zaka Organization.
However, the Huaxia special forces in front of them spoke their leader's name directly.
"Who is Vine? We don't know." The bearded man immediately denied.
Lin Beichen noticed his panicked eyes glancing at a crew-cut man beside him.
His mind shifted, and he pretended to threaten, "Don't think we don't know; we have concrete information. Now, who is Vine?"
The tied individuals still insisted they didn't know Vine, but their panicked expressions had already betrayed them.
Xia Luyao seized the opportunity, "Stop hiding, we already know everything."
She deliberately paused, continuing, "The Zaka Organization has already told us everything."
Upon hearing this, the tied-up individuals were instantly filled with doubt. Could it be that the Zaka Organization had betrayed them?
Lin Beichen took the opportunity to observe their reactions, then calmly smiled, "Since you're not talking, let me guess."
He took out his phone and sent a message.
A moment later, he looked up at the crew-cut man, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Vine, right?"
The crew-cut man's pupils suddenly contracted; although he tried his best to remain calm, the bearded man beside him blurted out, "How do you know?"
Vine glared at him, silently cursing his stupidity.
By now, he already understood that they must have discovered his identity by some means.
Facing Lin Beichen's interrogation, Vine still insisted he didn't know any Huaxia special forces.
But Lin Beichen wasn't in a hurry; he slowly said, "Vine, tell us, who sent you? Where is that Huaxia special forces member?"
Vine was startled, could it be that the Zaka Organization leaked the information?
A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he maintained his composure, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Lin Beichen's lips curled with a playful smile, but his eyes suddenly turned sharp, coldly saying, "Do you really think I would easily believe your words?"
"I'll give you one more chance to confess. Tell me the whereabouts of that Huaxia special forces member, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Vine met Lin Beichen's gaze, fearlessly responding, "I really don't know any Huaxia special forces, no matter how many times you ask, my answer remains the same."
As a veteran in international circles, Vine would never easily submit.
His professional ethics made it impossible for him to betray his employer.
Lin Beichen looked at Vine's resolute demeanor, chuckling softly, seemingly unsurprised by his answer.
"Fine, since you're tight-lipped, I'll use my way to make you speak."
Wild Ox immediately got excited, "Let me do it; I don't believe he won't tell the truth."
Facing Wild Ox's threat, Vine's face remained fearless, as if he were ready to die.
Lin Beichen stopped Wild Ox, casually saying, "No need for violence, I have my ways to make him talk."
Xia Luyao curiously asked, "Oh? What method do you have?"
Lin Beichen glanced at Xia Luyao, mysteriously smiling, "Remember how I got information from dead people before?"
"Summoning!" Xia Luyao blurted out.
"That's right, summoning," Lin Beichen said calmly, "We can kill him, then summon to ask questions; ghosts don't dare to lie to me."
Vine's heart trembled when he heard "summoning," sounding too eerie.
He recalled the strange scene earlier where Lin Beichen used yellow paper to blow up a car and rocket attack without harm, beginning to believe Lin Beichen might genuinely know some Eastern Magic.
Xia Luyao chimed in, "In that case, let's directly proceed, summoning at night."
Lin Beichen chuckled, "No need to wait until night; after killing, summoning can be done immediately."
"Really?" Xia Luyao feigned surprise, asking.
"Of course, before we had to wait until midnight because the ghost's resentment was insufficient; if the resentment is strong enough, summoning can be done during the day too," Lin Beichen explained.
"How can we increase resentment?" Xia Luyao pursued.
Lin Beichen softly laughed, "It's quite simple, be more brutal in the method of killing, like quartering."
"Lingchi execution also works?"
"Of course it does, the more brutal the method, the heavier the ghost's resentment."
Listening to them casually discuss how to brutally kill him, Vine couldn't help but feel a cold shiver.
He finally couldn't help but speak up, "What do you guys want?"
Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao exchanged a glance, then Lin Beichen lightly said, "There's a shredder at the mouth of the town, feed him to it, the electric one is less hassle."
Vine's heart trembled, hastily pleading, "Don't be rash, let's talk nicely!"
Lin Beichen disdainfully looked at him, "What's there to talk about? After killing you, your ghost will tell me everything."
"No, I can tell you all, anything you want to know, I'll say!" Vine urgently said.
