In this small workshop that got its start from piracy, it was especially crowded at the moment.
The folks from Fries Novel, although engaged in illegal activities like piracy, felt like little mice facing a gigantic tiger when confronted by the Morgan Group, a behemoth in the black industry.
— Suppression by bloodline.
The people from both sides had different auras about them.
"Are you the leader here?" Lucas stepped forward, using his experience to identify Brother Hao as the person in charge here.
He spoke in the local dialect, which Brother Hao understood.
"I..."
Brother Hao was about to confess, but he immediately shook his head, "I am not!"
Lucas frowned, stepped forward aggressively, making a handgun gesture like Leo did the last time, and pressed the "barrel" against Brother Hao's forehead, "Who is?"
"He!"
Brother Hao's legs were a bit wobbly, tremblingly pointing towards Hou behind him.
Hou: ???
Yu Qin shook her head, pulled out her phone, displaying Brother Hao's image on the screen, "This is the Fries Novel studio, and you are the person in charge here, known as Brother Hao?"
Brother Hao's lips twitched, extremely scared inside, but his face smiled apologetically, "Just call me Hao."
"Don't waste words. I ask something, you answer, got it?"
Lucas's face showed a hint of ruthlessness, pressing the "gun barrel" harder.
Brother Hao nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
At that moment,
A man handed over a tablet, which Lucas took, set it upright in front of Brother Hao and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
Brother Hao raised his hand, rubbed his eyes, then opened them wide.
On the tablet screen was a full-body photo of a man.
How could Brother Hao not recognize this man?
It was Leo!
But Brother Hao didn't answer immediately; he glanced momentarily at Lucas and Yu Qin with an unfriendly and cold expression.
Both of them were waiting for his response.
Brother Hao hemmed and hawed, unwilling to answer.
He worried that if he revealed Leo's whereabouts, would Leo come back to settle scores with him?
These people here seemed like they were out for vengeance against Leo!
"We have found out that Leo was here 10 days ago. I will ask one more time, have you seen him?" Lucas stated in a deep voice.
Brother Hao was terrified, swallowed his saliva, and answered, "I have, I have seen him."
Lucas raised an eyebrow, exchanged a glance with Yu Qin, showing a trace of happiness on their faces, having found the right person.
Then, Lucas pressed on, "He came to find you, what for?"
"It was, it was..."
Brother Hao hesitated, still worried, "What if he comes after me if I told you?"
"Don't worry, I can take care of you around here," Lucas's tone carried a hint of cruelty, "If you don't talk, you know what could happen."
Saying this!
Lucas grabbed Brother Hao by the hand, placed it on his waist, letting him feel.
This was not one of Lucas's peculiar habits.
With this feel, Brother Hao's eyes widened, fully confirming his thoughts.
— That was a gun.
God damn it!
Who exactly are these people, marching around with guns strapped to their waists coming to trouble me? I was just quietly running a piracy operation, is all this necessary?
"Still not talking?" Lucas urged.
Brother Hao had no choice but to admit honestly, "I don't know who they are. That day, they came to me looking for someone."
"Looking for whom?"
At this point, Yu Qin couldn't help asking.
Her tone quick, carrying urgency, she was eager to know who exactly Leo was looking for.
For a moment, Brother Hao was at a loss for words, thought for a while before saying, "He was looking for a web novel writer."
"Huh?"
Yu Qin immediately furrowed her brow.
Lucas was no different, his expression turned stern, displaying deep puzzlement, "The web novel writer he was looking for, was it Mr. Lin?"
Brother Hao was stunned for a moment, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, that's him."
"What did he want with Mr. Lin?" Lucas's brows tightened, surprised by this answer.
"I don't know!"
Brother Hao's head shook like a rattle drum.
Lucas looked at Brother Hao and then at Hou behind him; both shook their heads vigorously, showing horrified expressions, indicating they knew nothing.
Lucas glanced between Brother Hao and Hou, realizing they weren't bold enough to lie, then leaned close to Yu Qin and whispered, "Leo is looking for Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan is in Han River, doesn't that mean they..."
He didn't finish his sentence when Yu Qin raised her hand and cut him off.
She slowly walked towards Brother Hao, her gaze sharp, "Hao, he wanted to find Mr. Lin, why would he come to you?"
"This person saw Mr. Lin's novel on my novel website, it's the 'Arms Tycoon', he thought Mr. Lin was one of my authors, so he came to me, wanting to contact Mr. Lin." Brother Hao was caught in a tight spot, not daring to hide anything.
"Arms Tycoon..."
Yu Qin furrowed her brows, murmuring lowly, "So, you pirated 'Arms Tycoon', and then he saw it?"
"Yes, it should be that." Brother Hao nodded.
Yu Qin fell into thought, not speaking again.
Lucas then instructed the men to separate Brother Hao and Hou into different rooms to start a detailed interrogation.
The entire Fries Novel studio was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
Even the sunlight pouring in outside gave Brother Hao and Hou goosebumps, not daring an iota of concealment, answering everything truthfully.
If there was any discrepancy in the details, they would have to consider the possibility of losing their lives.
Fortunately, after a full hour of questioning.
Lucas and Yu Qin, with their people, left.
Phew—
