Chapter 23 - 23 Ten Fingers, Ten Questions

Li Xiaoyao pointed to Zhu Xiaoyue, who had been knocked out on the chair, and said, "Wake her up."

"Okay." Xiao Quan walked over to Zhu Xiaoyue, shook her shoulder a few times, and shouted loudly in her ear. In a few seconds, Zhu Xiaoyue opened her eyes.

"It hurts." Zhu Xiaoyue touched the back of her head and spoke softly.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Are you all right?"

When Zhu Xiaoyue heard this voice, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be in Liu Ming’s house. She immediately reached for her gun and pointed it in the direction of the voice.

But when Zhu Xiaoyue raised her gun to aim, she saw that the speaker was the man who had been captured that night. Zhu Xiaoyue remembered this man; his name was Li Xiaoyao.

"Why is it you? What are you doing here?"

Li Xiaoyao stepped on Liu Ming and said, "Like you, I’m here to find him."

Zhu Xiaoyue frowned and asked, "Why on earth would you want to find him?"

Li Xiaoyao pointed to the gun in his hand and said, "Can you put away the gun before we talk?"

"Ah? Oh, I’m sorry." Zhu Xiaoyue’s face turned red, and she put away the gun. She got up and walked over, asking, "What are you doing here?"

Li Xiaoyao did not directly answer her but instead said to Xiao Quan, "You can go back to the company first."

Xiao Quan was very obedient. After giving Zhu Xiaoyue a glance, he nodded his head and turned to leave.

After Xiao Quan left, Li Xiaoyao said, "My friend has been kidnapped."

Zhu Xiaoyue blinked and immediately looked at Liu Ming, asking, "Did he do it?"

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I wasn’t sure at first, but now, I can confirm that it was indeed him."

Zhu Xiaoyue asked, "Is your friend called Xiao Yu?"

"Xiao Yu?" Li Xiaoyao was taken aback by Zhu Xiaoyue’s question. He shook his head and said, "Her name is Zhuo Yi. She went missing this morning. It was only after I received her text message that I knew something had happened to her."

Zhu Xiaoyue took a deep breath and glared angrily at Liu Ming, who was under Li Xiaoyao’s foot, demanding, "Spit it out, where on earth have you taken these women?"

Li Xiaoyao also sensed there was a problem. It seemed that this Liu Ming had abducted more than just Zhuo Yi.

Liu Ming had blood spilling from his mouth from being stepped on by Li Xiaoyao, but he sneered and said, "If you have the guts, kill me."

Zhu Xiaoyue was infuriated by Liu Ming’s arrogant attitude and cursed, "Shameless!"

Li Xiaoyao then released his foot and said, "Hard to see, you’re still tough. Fine, you want to die? That’s easy, I’ll grant your wish."

When Liu Ming heard Li Xiaoyao’s words, he was taken aback; damn it, wasn’t he supposed to be beside himself with rage? Why was he so calm? And was he actually going to kill him?

No, that can’t be.

Liu Ming inwardly shook his head, believing that Li Xiaoyao definitely didn’t dare to actually kill him. He must just want to scare him.

Hmph, he wouldn’t fall for such a simple trick.

Li Xiaoyao wasn’t in the mood to observe Liu Ming’s thoughts; he looked around and eventually found a hammer in the corner.

Li Xiaoyao picked up the hammer and walked over, squatting beside Liu Ming.

He stretched out his hand and pressed Liu Ming’s left hand onto the ground, then with eyes full of murderous intent, he stared at Liu Ming and said, "You’re not afraid of death anyway, so let’s play a game."

"Li Xiaoyao, what time is it now? Do you still have the mood to play games?" Zhu Xiaoyue said, both angry and anxious.

Li Xiaoyao gave her a wink and said, "Don’t worry."

Zhu Xiaoyue had many questions in her heart, but her instincts told her that she should trust Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao continued to gaze at Liu Ming, smilingly said, "This game is very simple. Look, you have two hands, ten fingers. Me, I will ask you ten questions, one finger for each question. If you answer correctly, I won’t knock, but if you answer wrongly, I will smash it to break."

After listening to Li Xiaoyao’s words, a chill rushed from the soles of Liu Ming’s feet to his forehead.

Zhu Xiaoyue frowned, she was a policewoman, and Li Xiaoyao was actually implementing vigilante justice right in front of her. She really wanted to stop Li Xiaoyao, but she also knew that to deal with scum like Liu Ming, Li Xiaoyao’s method might be more effective.

"The first question, where is Zhuo Yi?" Li Xiaoyao lifted the hammer in his hand and asked.

Liu Ming decided, no matter what Li Xiaoyao asked, he would just clench his teeth and remain silent.

Li Xiaoyao stared at Liu Ming and, seeing that he wouldn’t speak, nodded smilingly and said, "You think I have no way if you don’t talk?"

No sooner had his voice trailed off than Li Xiaoyao lifted the hammer and violently smashed it down on Liu Ming’s thumb.

With a dull "thud," Liu Ming’s left thumb was crushed into a pulp, blood and flesh blurred.

"Ahhh!" Liu Ming screamed miserably, his body struggling violently, only to be knocked back to the ground by Li Xiaoyao with a punch to the head.

Zhu Xiaoyue was also frightened by Li Xiaoyao’s sudden hammering, even having a couple of drops of fresh blood splashed onto her.

Zhu Xiaoyue turned her head away, not looking at Li Xiaoyao, nor paying attention to Liu Ming’s screams.

Liu Ming cursed loudly, "Motherfucker, I’m going to file a complaint."

Li Xiaoyao tapped his face with the hammer and said, "I’m afraid you won’t have the life to file any complaints."

"Continue answering my first question, where is Zhuo Yi?"

Liu Ming still said nothing, and Li Xiaoyao said, "Don’t think that I have no way to make you talk if you remain silent. I’m not a patient man, I’ll give you ten seconds. If your answer doesn’t satisfy me, I will smash the rest of your nine fingers just like your thumb."

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5…" Li Xiaoyao began to count, his voice very steady, as if doing something trivial.

Liu Ming’s eyelids trembled relentlessly. If at first he had scorned Li Xiaoyao’s threat, then after Li Xiaoyao smashed his thumb, he was utterly convinced that this man was definitely not just joking around.

"7, 8, 9…" With the last number remaining, Li Xiaoyao had already lifted the hammer again.

"I’ll tell you!" Liu Ming shouted loudly.

"Thud!"

Without any hesitation, the hammer came down, and Liu Ming let out a squeal like a pig being slaughtered.

Li Xiaoyao looked down at Liu Ming with an apologetic face, "Sorry, it was too smooth, I just couldn’t stop in time."

Liu Ming, tears and snot streaming down, twisted and turned as if cramping, cursing inwardly, "Motherfucker, ’smooth’, ’smooth’ your grandpa ah, my fingers..."

Li Xiaoyao stepped off his hand and pulled up a chair to sit in front of him, and asked, "Tell me, where is Zhuo Yi?"

Liu Ming knew that if he didn’t speak today, he definitely wouldn’t be able to leave safely. Clenching his teeth, he uttered a name, "Wang Ru’an."

"Wang Ru’an? Who is that?"

Liu Ming said, "A rich man. He gave me five hundred thousand to take Zhuo Yi to the subway station."

"Is it that simple?" Li Xiaoyao was skeptical of the truthfulness of Liu Ming’s words.

Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly turned around, her eyes shining, and said, "I’ve got it!"

Li Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow at her, "You got what?"

Zhu Xiaoyue said, "I understand what’s going on here."
