Chapter 132: Inquiring of Sis Chen’s Secret

When fighting a person, the best method wasn’t to strike at their physical flesh, but to destroy their self-confidence and faith. Make use of their loss of composure and turn them into a dead man walking. In the end, they wouldn’t be able to live or die.

When fighting, strike at their courage. The most important thing was to crumble their determination.

The American woman that went by the name of Lisa was clearly a specially trained agent. Whatever interrogation by torture or mistreatment she went through, it would not work on her.

According to common sense, if captured in foreign lands, the life of a female agent would certainly be a cruel and miserable one. But if captured within the domestic lands, then according to the laws and orders of organizations, and the brilliance that was humanitarianism, a female agent like Lisa wouldn’t be cruelly treated. Other than having her movements restricted, she was well cared for with water and food.

Because of this circumstance, there was still hope in her heart. Hope that she could escape. Because of this hope, she had no intentions on dying. She was determined to get away from here and break free from Wang Chao’s grasp.

And sure enough, the strong male that was Wang Chao had actually been spurred into action by her words and gave her a gun to bet on.

“With a gun, my chances have improved greatly now. In this world, the strong aren’t the ones with brawn, but with brain.” Lisa had been happy that Wang Chao had agreed to her request, however, she was far more angry and furious than happy and was not yet fully satisfied.

That was because of the two comments Wang Chao had made, it had injured her pride.

“Even if she had a gun, I could kill her with a pinch as if killing an ant!”

“With me here, she wouldn’t be able to kill herself even if she wanted to.”

The meaning behind both statements was “In front of me, you cannot cannot live or die. You are not allowed to beg to live, you cannot beg to die either. I will be your God.”

Up against Wang Chao’s attempt at being a God, even Lisa who was well conditioned as an agent felt the very root of her teeth start to ache.

“Fine, I’ll go get her a gun.” Lin Yanan looked to Wang Chao for a moment as if trying to see if Wang Chao was lying. But with a nod, she turned around to leave. Coming back a little later, there was a small caliber handgun with a weak recoil.

“There’s six bullets loaded in already.” Lin Yanan explained as she handed the gun to Wang Chao.

“You should wait outside then.” Wang Chao spoke to her as he accepted the gun before looking all around the walls and ceiling.

Lin Yanan hesitated for a moment. Nodding her head in the end, she retreated out and closed the iron door.

While Wang Chao gave the American agent an opportunity, he had assurance on his side. However, if she were to be in this room or perhaps the shooting range of her gun, then it would definitely bring about no small amount of trouble for Wang Chao or Lin Yanan.

Although she really wanted to see how Wang Chao would deal with this female agent and listen to what she had to say, Lin Yanan had to bear with it and leave.

She too was a specially trained person, not a brainless woman who was more of a hindrance than help.

When Wang Chao saw Lin Yanan exit the room, he closed his eyes and focused with his ears to listen for a moment. It was only after he had detected no one else around Wang Chao opened his eyes and let out a long exhale.

This prison cell was meant to imprison the soldiers that committed a serious crime and was a part of the internal prisons of the camp. Three of the cement walls had been slathered with white powder, and there was a single skylight on the ceiling. With the steel doors closed, the room was completely isolated from the outside world. Even sound would have a hard time making its way through.

“Well now, there are six bullets in here, meaning you have six chances. If you cannot catch me in those six shots, do not say that I didn’t give you a chance.”

Wang Chao looked at the gun in his hand before handing it over.

Lisa’s eyes had a cold light in them. Coldly, she spoke, “Help me take off my handcuffs, I’ll be able to shoot better.”

Putting on an insincere smile, Wang Chao’s left hand moved as fast as lightning. Grabbing onto the middle chain, Wang Chao clutched down with his fingers. With a cracking sound, the chain in his hand was shattered.

Lisa grabbed onto the gun, and almost like a western cowboy, her hand spun the chamber with ease as if she extremely familiar with it.

After swiveling the chamber several times, Lisa did not move to shoot her gun just yet. Yet, there was a demonic smile on her face, “I have another condition. If I manage to shoot you, will you let me go?”

Wang Chao couldn’t help but laugh, “Let you go? I don’t have that much power. I am only giving you a chance right now. If you still need to to ask for any other conditions, then you won’t have a chance.”

Bang! Before Wang Chao had even finished speaking, Lisa had already begun to pull the trigger.

The sound had been loud enough for the entire room to echo and allow even Lin Yanan to be able to hear it.

Lisa’s request had been planned. She deliberately waited for Wang Chao to begin to speak so that she could shoot before he could take in a deep breath.

This method was one of the many gun tricks she learned as an agent.

Lifting her gun, her accuracy could be said to be nearly unfailing in accuracy. Shooting within .2 seconds, a human couldn’t even blink that fast!

However, this sound had not been because of a gunshot.

On the contrary, it had been because of a person striking against the wall, causing the sound of muscle hitting wall.

Before she could even fire, Lisa’s body had been sent flying by Wang Chao’s “Close Body Palm”. Slamming fiercely against the wall, her face had been pressed against it into an intimate kiss.

Clack! The gun fell from her hands and onto the ground.

Wang Chao stepped forward with an icy look at the struggling Lisa before putting the gun onto the table. “Climb back up and rest. We’ll start again!”

“Impossible! Totally impossible!” Lisa struggled to climb back up. Her hair had been disheveled, and her expression sinister almost similar to the vampiress of western mythology. In an instant, she flung herself at the table and grabbed at the gun.

Grabbing onto the gun with her right hand, her left hand flung the table violently, causing the table to fly towards Wang Chao. At the same time, her body rolled on the ground and then aimed to fire

In this moment, she had grabbed her gun, flung the table, rolled on the ground, and aimed her gun. These five series of actions had been seamless in motion and far more fluent than her previous action.

Another bang could be heard!

But this bang was still not because of a gunshot.

Lisa had only felt that in the moment she lifted her finger and fished the trigger after her roll, her entire back went rigid as if shocked by lightning. Her finger hadn’t been able to pull the trigger, and it seemed in that moment, her entire nervous system had overridden her control over her finger.

Then, she felt the clothes on her back be pulled up before she was flung once more into the ground with a banging sound.

As a result of her hand growing slack, she was unable to hold onto the gun and so it fell back onto the ground for Wang Chao to pick back up.

When Wang Chao flew forward, his image had been like a phantom. With a crouch and a palm strike, he struck at Lisa’s back using the hard rotation Jin to shock her. With a single strike, it assimilated into her body and caused her entire body to become paralyzed, meaning her finger was not able to pull the trigger.

A swat, a grab, a throw. These three movements had been even faster than Lisa’s sequence of actions.

“Again then.” Wang Chao threw the gun back down.

In the previous action, he had coupled hardness and softness together so that his strike wouldn’t harm her muscles or bones permanently.

Slowly, Lisa climbed back up from the ground. Her eyes had grown incredibly cold and even her breathing had stabilized now. Without a single word, she grabbed the gun, but did not move to push the trigger. Instead, she slowly backed into a corner.

Suddenly, she turned her gun around and pointed it at her own head.

Hsss! Hssss! With a single sound, Wang Chao had already disappeared from sight so fast Lisa hadn’t even been able to notice. All she could sense was that the hand holding the gun had suddenly gone numb before she realized it was in the hands of Wang Chao.

An object required .3 seconds in order for it to register in the retina before it was reflected in the brain. But in the time Lisa didn’t see Wang Chao leap for her, it had already surpassed that threshold.

“I told you before; when I am in front of you, I am your God. You cannot cannot live, and you cannot die. You do not stand a chance.”

Wang Chao threw the gun onto the ground for Lisa to pick up. Such an imagery like this was like the owner of a pet throwing food onto the ground for the pet to eat.

In an instant, Lisa felt an extreme amount of humiliation overwhelm her.

“I won’t.” Lisa suddenly opened her mouth, not willing to bend down to pick up the gun. “Whatever you want to know, ask away.”

“That’s good!” Wang Chao wrinkled his eyebrows together, he hadn’t thought that this female agent would surrender so quickly. “Which American agency do you work for?”

“I am a member of the Southeast Asia branch of the CIA.” Lisa quickly responded.

“I have another question, how much do you know about my circumstances?” Wang Chao had asked just as quickly. His question was given in a low voice as he stared hard at her.

“We know about your status with the European Union! But what we didn’t know was that you had a double identity as a man with the Chinese government.” Lisa replied.

“What do you know about me being with the European Union? Furthermore, between me and Tang….how do you know about our connection?” Wang Chao asked one question after another!

Wang Chao’s question had been quite clever in delivery. It had been based on his own information, but while it seemed right, his information was actually wrong! His mention of the name ‘Tang’ had been vague afterwards with no actual substance behind it.

“Five years ago we’ve been monitoring the person behind you. At that time we were supporting the coup d’etat from the struggle between the 30 tribes in Africa. We had wanted to trap her mercenary group, but she managed to leave Africa and towards China.”

“Regarding her, how much do you know?” Wang Chao’s fingers twitched as his eyes gained a serious glint. He seemed like an oppressing tiger that was ready to kill Lisa if she was even a second slow to respond.

“We know that she is the instructor of the five major mercenary groups the European Union hired for in Africa. She is also the secret leader of the Chinese Association amongst the 28 countries in the European Union. We also know that she has many identities. But what we didn’t know was that you would have a triple-layered identity! To be connected to the Chinese government, it seems our information was far too narrow and obstructed our goals!”

“Sis Chen has so many identities? But it seems as though there’s no connection between her and my organization? From what Lin Yanan said, the organization knows about the connection between sis Chen and I. So what are they planning then?” Wang Chao thought to himself.

When he gave the gun to fight with Lisa, Wang Chao had taken advantage of the moment to send away Lin Yanan to ask his questions.
