Chapter 813: Mental Breakdown
"Miss, oh no, young lady, is there anything I can help you with?" Wang Yi’s lips curled up, revealing a self-assumed handsome expression.
Wang Yi was already in his fifties, a typical middle-aged man. His constant cultivation kept his physique and appearance in good shape, making it no trouble at all to charm such young girls.
"Handsome, can I borrow your phone to make a call? My phone was just stolen by a pickpocket," the girl said pitifully.
Upon hearing her call him handsome, Wang Yi’s smile grew even brighter, his old face lit up cheerfully.
"It’s just a call, no problem. Where are you headed, young lady? I happen to be free, I can give you a ride," Wang Yi said with a smile, offering his phone.
"Thank you." The girl smiled sweetly while reaching out to take the phone.
"Oh no!" Suddenly, Wang Yi’s expression changed as he sensed something amiss. He wanted to retract his hand, but it was too late.
A fully charged electric baton was pulled out from the girl’s sleeve, pressing directly onto Wang Yi’s hand.
Zzzzzz...
The sound from the electric baton was sharp and alarming, and its power was formidable. As soon as it made contact with Wang Yi’s body, he started trembling uncontrollably. He wanted to muster his inner strength to resist, but unfortunately, his Sea of Qi didn’t respond at all.
In about five seconds, Wang Yi had completely lost consciousness.
...
Lin Tian stood at the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor watching this scene unfold, and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Didn’t expect your crafty idea would actually work," Mei Ruyan said standing to his left.
Bai Shishi also gave Lin Tian a sideways glance and said resentfully, "He must relate to this well. He’d definitely fall for this honey trap too; otherwise, how would he come up with such an idea?"
Lin Tian could only smile wryly and rub his nose. Is this a disaster that came out of nowhere? How did it end up concerning me?
"That guy is not young anymore, yet he still acts so lecherously. He kept sneaking looks at you two during the meeting earlier; how could I tolerate that? Of course, I had to teach him a lesson!" Lin Tian said earnestly.
"Hmph, smooth talker," Mei Ruyan snorted coldly.
Lin Tian chuckled, well, it seems like you enjoyed listening.
Inside a room on the ninth floor of Xianglong Tea House.
Ever since Xianglong Tea House ceased being a gambling venue, the space had been largely emptied, mostly becoming offices for Qiansimei and other businesses.
Even so, the usage space of the building was still insufficient, and Bai Shishi was planning to buy the adjacent office building.
The one thing Bai Shishi didn’t lack now was money.
With the skincare formula Lin Tian provided, she realized that even legitimate business could be so lucrative. The daily profit was several times that of the gambling venue. And all of it was legal, just sit and collect money.
Although there wasn’t enough space, Bai Shishi still reserved two empty rooms just in case.
At this moment, Wang Yi was tied to a chair with nylon rope by Lin Tian, unable to move his hands or feet. The most critical part was, his Qi Sea Acupoint had been sealed by Lin Tian with Spiritual Qi.
To undo it would take at least a day.
A day was enough time.
"Smack!"
Lin Tian slapped Wang Yi’s face, leaving an instantly apparent red handprint.
"Ah!"
The muscles on Wang Yi’s face twitched, and he slowly regained consciousness with a cry of pain.
He blinked, trying hard to see the person before him clearly, then let out a heavy snort and turned his head aside.
"Oh, quite spirited." Lin Tian laughed and slapped again.
The previous slap was on the left cheek, now this one was on the right. But it was so forceful, the right cheek swelled a bit, looking quite asymmetrical.
"Lin! Tian!" Wang Yi glared at Lin Tian, gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to kill Lin Tian right then and there.
Lin Tian smiled, then pulled up a chair and sat down, crossing his legs, "So you recognized me after all."
Lin Tian was a bit relieved in his heart. It was fortunate that they had detained this guy, preventing his identity from being exposed.
"Hmph. With your pretentious look, who else in the world could make me feel so disgusted?"
Lin Tian was not angry; instead, he smiled faintly. "I just like seeing you hating me yet unable to touch me."
"What binds you now is nylon rope, and your inner strength has been sealed by me. There’s no way you can break free unless you answer my questions honestly."
"In your dreams!"
Those were the only words Wang Yi replied with, his attitude as steadfast as that of a martyr.
In fact, Wang Yi felt very frustrated now. We came to demand our people back, how did we end up being detained instead?
Could it be we didn’t check the almanac before heading out today?
"It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak, but you will have to suffer a little."
Lin Tian said with a smile, then drew out the Black Dragon Dagger, slicing at Wang Yi’s chest.
The sharp tip of the dagger cut through the fiber-made clothes and also broke Wang Yi’s chest skin.
Lin Tian used very little force, so it was not a big wound. But a bit more force would be enough to cut open his belly.
Wang Yi’s face showed no reaction, yet he closed his eyes.
Lin Tian smiled faintly; even if you are a cultivator, can your external martial arts withstand the sharpness of my Black Dragon Dagger?
Even with his eyes closed, Lin Tian could see Wang Yi’s terrified look with his x-ray vision.
He was afraid.
"So, what are you up to this time?"
"Hmph!"
"Oh, quite stubborn." The Black Dragon Dagger in Lin Tian’s hand slowly slid down, stopping at Wang Yi’s groin. The tip was positioned right against his sensitive area.
Wang Yi immediately shivered; if this knife were to go in any deeper, he’d never be a man again!
"Since you’re in my hands, you should realize your life is also in my hands. Don’t think I wouldn’t cut off your vital part, and even if I kill you, no one would ever trace it back. By the way, there’s also your Wang Family, but do you think I’d be afraid?"
While speaking, Lin Tian began to draw circles with the Black Dragon Dagger’s tip. This made every nerve in Wang Yi’s body tense up, feeling as if Lin Tian could stab at any time.
To him, this was simply torture!
"If we can’t get your information at Xianglong Tea House, we plan to go after your parents! And those women of yours! We figured you would definitely contact them!" Wang Yi blurted out quickly, rattling off a bunch all at once, fearing Lin Tian’s dagger might stab into him at any moment.
Wang Yi was not a special forces soldier, hadn’t undergone any torture-resistance training, and naturally crumbled mentally quite easily.
