Chapter 497: Chapter 495 He’s Totally Satisfied!
"So that’s how it is," Lu Zhaozhao looked like she understood, her gaze towards Tomson filled with even more disdain.
Who would have thought such trash only became infamous because there’s no extradition treaty, tsk tsk.
All of a sudden, Tomson and his men felt like Lu Zhaozhao’s ensuing silence was deafening.
It would have been better if she had just cursed at them.
When Xia Wenmo heard Wen Qingyu seriously educating Lu Zhaozhao, he patiently stood by, waiting for the two to finish speaking.
Then, he turned his attention back to Tomson and the others, "Do you plan to quickly confess, who sent you here? Or do you plan to say it after I’ve tortured you?"
They actually already knew these people were sent by the Fengya Family, but as long as the people in front of them didn’t confess, they had no excuse to take care of Fengfeng Ya’s men.
Wanting a justifiable cause, these mercenaries served as their legitimate reason to take action against their adversaries.
Tomson clenched his teeth, "You wouldn’t want your sister to see your disgraceful side, right?"
From the attitudes of these men just now, the woman named Lu Zhaozhao seemed to hold a very high status among them, and these men cared a lot about what Lu Zhaozhao thought.
If he could do something about it, maybe he could break free from this passive situation.
As soon as Tomson finished speaking, everyone’s gaze turned towards Lu Zhaozhao.
Xia Wenmo pretending not to worry would be a lie, who wouldn’t want to maintain a good image in front of their darling sister?
If it weren’t for worrying about damaging his image in Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes, he would have told Lu Zhaozhao everything when he went abroad to interrogate Lu Dagui.
Now, brought up by Tomson, Xia Wenmo’s face looked somewhat ugly.
He was also worried his too fierce demeanor might frighten Lu Zhaozhao, concerned she might grow distant from him.
The crowd watched Lu Zhaozhao, uncertain whether to attack Tomson at this moment.
Tomson didn’t expect this trick to work so well, a feeling of triumph flashed through his heart instantly.
He lifted his chin slightly, "You wouldn’t want your sister to know just how cruel you guys can be, right? After all, a young girl is so timid..."
"For trash like you, no amount of cruelty would be considered too much," Lu Zhaozhao’s cool voice chimed in at the perfect time.
Her gaze towards Tomson was indifferent, her eyes and brows filled with apathy.
She was no longer the gullible sweet girl from her past life who was constantly deceived, how could she not understand, the Xia Family’s actions were all for her sake?
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but mockingly curve her lips, "Even if I were to be the virgin mary, I wouldn’t need to feel sorry for someone like you."
Tomson instantly panicked.
Why wasn’t this woman playing by the rules?
Aren’t they normally supposed to act weak and whimper by the men’s side?
Why did she have to stand up, acting fearless?
Tomson secretly bit down on his teeth, his gaze shifting to Lu Zhaozhao as he tried to maintain his composure, "Little beauty, do you really have the heart to watch your brothers beat up us innocent people? We’re just doing our jobs for the money..."
"If it weren’t for having so many brothers, the one kicking and punching you would be me," Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
She really couldn’t tell if these mercenaries were the naive ones or if they thought she was naive, their faces not even turning red when lying!
What, did she look like she lacks intelligence?
Lu Zhaozhao clearly felt like she was being looked down upon.
Tomson tried to appear calm as he faced Lu Zhaozhao, "Little beauty, some things are completely different when said versus when done, you... Ah!"
Lu Zhaozhao didn’t wait for Tomson to finish speaking, she lifted her foot and kicked towards him.
Her kick landed squarely on Tomson’s abdomen, causing him to instantly curl up on the ground in pain.
Lu Zhaozhao stepped on his face, looking down at him as she said word by word, "Are my words and actions consistent now? Are you satisfied?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Satisfied my ass!
He had intended to use Lu Zhaozhao to tear open a chance for Xia Wenmo not to attack him, but before the men could make their move, he ended up getting kicked by this woman instead.
That kick from Lu Zhaozhao wasn’t light; he felt like she had kicked all his internal organs into a tangled mess.
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao’s fierce appearance, Xia Wenmo immediately felt at ease.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, mimicking Lu Zhaozhao’s action, as he kicked Tomson too, "Did you hear what my sister said?"
Now, Tomson really felt like crying.
If you want to ask something, just ask; why the need to kick me?
Do I look like a ball? Why the incessant kicking?
Seeing that Tomson didn’t respond, Xia Wenjue followed up with another kick, "We’re asking you a question right now, why aren’t you speaking?"
Tomson gritted his teeth, making a grinding noise, and could only nod desperately.
When wasn’t he speaking?
The pain was so severe he couldn’t even make a sound; how could that be his fault?
But unable to utter a word, he could only nod desperately to indicate he understood.
The others around Tomson had come to a clear understanding; this woman named Lu Zhaozhao might not be as formidable as they had imagined, but they definitely should not provoke her.
Otherwise, they might end up even worse...
Because they needed to interrogate these mercenaries, they were worried that using special methods later might scare Lu Zhaozhao, so they made up an excuse for Lu Zhaozhao to go back and keep Xia Wenyan company.
Song Sinian, just a member of the Xia Family, stayed behind.
Listening to the continuous screams around him, he was completely indifferent.
Tomson and the others naturally understood they had truly kicked an iron plate this time.
Continuing to resist was no solution.
They were mercenaries after all, paid to do a job, and since the mission had failed, they had to save their own skins, right?
After exchanging glances, they ultimately decided it was crucial to save their lives.
"We’ll confess everything, just stop hitting us," Tomson said, spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his gaze fixed on the men before him.
Xia Wenmo nodded slightly, "Tell me, how much did the Fengya Family pay you to come to our country and make a move?"
Tomson and the others were stunned upon hearing Xia Wenmo’s words.
Damn, they thought they still had leverage; it turns out they were already known.
What were they holding out for all this time?
Tomson couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, still confessing everything as previously agreed, "That woman gave each of us a million dollars and ordered us to deal with several people in the country who are close to Pei Huai."
After they came to the country and conducted some investigation, they found that the person with the best relationship with Pei Huai was Xia Wenyan, followed by Lu Zhaozhao.
That’s why after Xia Wenyan suffered a car accident, they turned their attention to Lu Zhaozhao...
