Chapter 225: Interrogation

Mo Li then remembered this part from the original book. Mo Xiao was kidnapped on his way back to the country, but then his kidnappers were accosted by another criminal gang and were forced onto the sea. However, in the original book, the person who saved Mo Xiao was not Mo Li but Lu Qin.

Lu Qin trailed after Quan Yu to the border stations and she ran into the kidnappers. She too was captured onto the ship. Lu Qin had a GPS on her, when her family found out about the anomaly in her location, they immediately sent people out to look for her. And just like that, Lu Qin managed to save Mo Qin.

Mo Li had a very deep memory of the part where Mo Xiao was abused. As a medical student, Mo Li paid extra attention to such scenes in the novel.

She remembered that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Mo Xiao was a woman. However, she had skimmed over the details of the woman. She only knew that the woman had assigned a very powerful gangster to orchestrate the kidnapping. The gangster only used 25 days to take over the underworld of the capital. He was the leader of the biggest gang in the country, the Seven Stars.

Mo Li studied Mo Xiao in bed. This was her first time meeting her second brother. Studying the wounds on his body, Mo Li could infer that his attacker was someone large with fast and ruthless fists.

In the original story, Lu Qin didn’t tell Quan Yu anything but Quan Yu found out regardless. Here, through Ah Si, Quan Yu had naturally found out about this incident as well.

Seeing how much pain he was in, Mo Li walked out of the room to find some pain-relieving medicine. When Mo Li returned, Mo Xiao was curled up in a fetal position. According to psychology, this position would bring the greatest amount of security. When he was relieved from the constant torture, Mo Xiao would curl up like this on the ship too.

Mo Li adjusted Mo Xiao’s body and then noticed Mo Xiao’s hands. In the book, the kidnappers had used an ancient Chinese torture device called Zan Zi on Mo Xiao. They wanted to learn from Mo Xiao the whereabouts of an Italian partner of the Mo family, Mr. Brando. They wanted to know about the places Brando frequented and his close friends. Mo Xiao’s fingers were placed between sticks and then the rope connecting all the sticks were pulled. The pressure would be unbearable on the fingers. This was the torture of Zan Zi. Even though Mo Xiao’s fingers were bleeding and broken, he said not a word.

In the present, Mo Xiao seemed to be reminded of the torture and his body started to shiver. His fingers kept trembling.

The pale lips let out an uncontrollable moan of pain. The images of the dark red liquid flowing out from his fingers repeated in his mind. The pain caused Mo Xiao’s face to sweat. He wanted to shout in pain but his throat was dry and tight.

Mo Li placed her warm hand on Mo Xiao’s forehead. She was sad. She wondered how Jiang Yao would react when she saw her son like this.

A wave of warmth gradually surged into Mo Xiao’s heart. In his memory, it was like his mother’s hand, slowly patting his body, dispelling the haze in his heart.

…

“Alright, stop wasting my time, tell me the truth! What’s your name? And who ordered the kidnapping?” Ah Si was annoyed. His young master didn’t want Mo Li to be around the interrogation because he knew the proceeding might turn cruel so Quan Yu had ordered Ah Si to bring the men into the jungle for interrogation.

Mo Li was spared from the cruelty of the interrogation but Ah Si was not spared from the mosquitoes.

Looking at the 3 naked men before him, Ah Si sighed, “Do you think I can’t make you answer me? I found this thing on your ship. Do you want me to use it on you? I promise you’ll regret it.” Ah Si exerted force on the Zan Zi. The leader of the man broke out in cold sweat. The sticks were piercing into his skin. They had shown some mercy to Mo Xiao, but the man before them was merciless!

“Stop, stop, stop!”

“Stop? Sure, just tell me who the mastermind is and then we can all call this a day.” The man sighed in relief when the force loosened. He steeled his eyes and then shook his head.

“…Really?” Ah Si was getting impatient. The weather was hot and the mosquitoes were relentless. He didn’t want to waste anymore time.

Ah Si pulled on the Zan Zi as hard as he could. Then came the sounds of bones breaking. The leading man let out a miserable cry like a pig being slaughtered.

Then unable to bear it any longer, the man’s mouth opened but nothing came out. He had fainted from the extreme pain.
