Chapter 91: Interrogation
As Little Black and Xi Yang set out to kill, Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, then, thinking of Gu Mengyao’s earnest desire to understand the cause of Tang Wenshi’s death, he ultimately decided to take away the only woman among them and interrogate her elsewhere to see if he could get an answer.
Before Tang Wenshi died, he had also said that his mind was clouded by love, leading to him being harmed by a woman, which resulted in his current near-death state. He regretted it immensely.
In this description, the woman named Feng Xuanyuan was also briefly mentioned, allowing Gu Yu to confirm through certain characteristics that this woman was indeed Feng Xuanyuan, the murderer mentioned by Tang Wenshi.
Therefore, when Feng Xuanyuan appeared with a group of Tang Sect members, Gu Yu did not hesitate to use the powder and kill them, without further ado.
It was a swift and clean operation.
Tang Wenshi was truly an infatuated seed. After falling in love with Feng Xuanyuan, his entire heart was devoted to her, and his usual wit and intelligence were nowhere to be found.
After only a short period of contact, Gu Yu was very sure that Tang Wenshi was a smart person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caused so much trouble for him even after death!
It’s a pity that heroes often fall for beauties.
Tang Wenshi misjudged the person.
If we were to use modern terms, Tang Wenshi would be considered a “simp”…
Afterward, finding a hidden place, Gu Yu looked at the steep slope beside him. Peering down, he saw that the terrain was very treacherous.
A piece of gravel at his feet fell and instantly disappeared before Gu Yu’s eyes.
If a person accidentally rolled down the mountain, they would definitely perish!
Therefore, it was truly a blessing from heaven that his father-in-law, Gu Qing, was able to survive.
Gu Yu first released Feng Xuanyuan from his space, and while she was still in a coma, he quickly tied her hands and feet with a rope.
Finally, after giving Feng Xuanyuan the antidote, Gu Yu found a clean rock to sit on, preparing to interrogate the prisoner.
“Who are you! How dare you treat me like this, you will definitely regret it.”
“I don’t know if I will regret it, but I know you will definitely regret it, still being so arrogant at this time.”
As Feng Xuanyuan gradually woke up, her gaze swept over Gu Yu, who was sitting in front of her. Her eyes widened immediately, and her face was filled with anger as she spoke fiercely, showing no awareness of being under someone’s control.
Gu Yu chuckled upon hearing this, wondering what gave this woman the confidence to act so haughtily even at this point.
Did she really think he wouldn’t dare to kill?
“I see you are also a beauty, with a delicate and pitiable appearance, truly making one want to cherish you! Look at these fingers, they are incredibly beautiful.”
Gu Yu maintained a smiling expression, then stood up and walked towards Feng Xuanyuan. As he spoke, he took a dagger from his arms and aimed the blade at Feng Xuanyuan’s finger.
Based on Tang Wenshi’s experience and his own observations, ordinary means would have no effect on Feng Xuanyuan, so he had to resort to drastic measures.
Fortunately, dealing with a wicked woman like Feng Xuanyuan brought no burden to Gu Yu’s heart.
“You dare!”
“See if I dare?”
Upon realizing Gu Yu’s intention, Feng Xuanyuan immediately shouted, but Gu Yu remained unmoved. He then decisively raised his hand and pressed down.
The pain of the severed finger made Feng Xuanyuan scream, and her eyes, filled with malice, glared at Gu Yu as if she wanted to slice him into a thousand pieces.
Gu Yu was not someone who was scared from childhood, so he didn’t pay attention to Feng Xuanyuan’s gaze at this moment. He simply picked up Feng Xuanyuan’s severed finger, dangled it in front of her, and then threw it down the slope, disappearing in an instant before Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes.
“Now, you answer my questions. If you don’t, I’ll keep cutting.”
“…”
“Alright, let’s begin. Why did you kill Tang Wenshi?”
“…”
“Second finger.”
After Gu Yu finished speaking, he immediately asked Feng Xuanyuan why she killed Tang Wenshi, but Feng Xuanyuan did not cooperate, leaving Gu Yu no choice but to act again.
After Gu Yu picked up another severed finger and threw it away in front of Feng Xuanyuan, the malice in her eyes turned into fear. She was afraid that Gu Yu would continue cutting, turning her from a pitiable beauty into a disabled person without fingers!
She never expected… her beauty to be useless, and for this young man to treat her so cruelly!
She had even managed to bewitch Tang Wenshi…
“Don’t think of using your face to bewitch me. I’m only thirteen this year, and you’re almost old enough to be my mother. Besides, my wife is much prettier than you.”
As if guessing Feng Xuanyuan’s thoughts, Gu Yu’s subsequent words almost made her explode with anger. However, she became even more wary of Gu Yu, wondering where this ruthless young man came from!
Now, was he here to avenge Tang Wenshi!
Hmph, Tang Wenshi was truly lucky! Not only was he born into a wealthy family and had everything he wanted, but even after death, someone was avenging him.
However, if she wanted to get anything out of her, she’d have to wait until the next life!
“You can try biting your tongue to commit suicide. It won’t kill you immediately anyway. Actually, the idea that biting off your tongue will lead to death isn’t entirely correct. Many people have actually survived after biting off their tongues! However, there are three main reasons for death by biting one’s tongue: severe pain, blood loss, and suffocation. But, unfortunately for you, I’m a doctor! I can easily ensure that you don’t die.”
Just as Feng Xuanyuan was thinking of ending her life, Gu Yu regretfully shook his head, indicating that biting one’s tongue would not lead to immediate death, and that more painful torture would await her.
Feng Xuanyuan indeed hesitated after hearing Gu Yu’s words.
“Alright, I’ve said enough nonsense. I’ll ask again. Why did you kill Tang Wenshi.”
“Because he stood in my master’s way and had to be eliminated.”
“Your master wants to be the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect?”
“…Yes.”
Under Gu Yu’s ruthless methods, Feng Xuanyuan no longer dared to resist and honestly answered Gu Yu’s questions.
Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Feng Xuanyuan become so sensible and continued to ask.
“If he wanted to be the Sect Leader, wouldn’t it have been simpler to kill Tang Wenshi’s father directly? Or was it because of his weak position that he had to proceed gradually?”
“……Yes.”
“Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect… my guess to be quite accurate! Alright, I’ve asked what I needed to ask. You can die now.”
“Wait, is that all you want to ask me? Don’t you want to know why we were looking for Tang Wenshi’s body, what the reason is?”
After asking everything he wanted to know, Gu Yu smiled slightly at Feng Xuanyuan and indicated that he had no further questions and could now send her on her way.
However, upon hearing this, Feng Xuanyuan’s expression changed.
She didn’t expect Gu Yu to act so unconventionally. Wouldn’t a normal person have many questions to ask? Why did Gu Yu only ask a few questions before saying that he was done?
Feng Xuanyuan had a very powerful hidden weapon, but it required a significant amount of time to activate, so she wanted to stall for as much time as possible. Even if she unfortunately died today, she wanted to take Gu Yu down with her!
No one had ever dared to treat her like this!
“I’m very unhappy to meet you, but this is the first and last time. I believe the next time we meet will be in the underworld. Goodbye!”
Gu Yu didn’t waste any more time. He directly stabbed Feng Xuanyuan in the heart with his dagger and watched her take her last breath.
Then, as he threw Feng Xuanyuan off the steep slope, he watched her roll down, unable to even utter a final hateful word before disappearing before his eyes.
Originally, Gu Yu had intended to throw Feng Xuanyuan down to her death, but remembering his father-in-law’s miraculous survival… he decided to deliver a final blow before throwing her down.
Although Feng Xuanyuan had appeared cooperative just now, the malice in her eyes was not completely hidden. And thinking of the exquisite craftsmanship of the Tang Sect’s hidden weapons, Gu Yu did not hesitate and chose to kill Feng Xuanyuan directly.
It was precisely because of Gu Yu’s caution that he escaped disaster… at least he was not injured by Feng Xuanyuan’s hidden weapon.
After dealing with everything, Gu Yu did not stay in the same place. He went to see how Little Black and Xi Yang were doing, and whether they had killed everyone.
The reason Feng Xuanyuan questioned why Gu Yu didn’t ask further questions before her death was simple… Gu Yu simply didn’t want to ask.
Because, from the beginning, he didn’t want to get involved. Those few questions were only for Gu Mengyao.
Gu Yu didn’t want to see his little wife tossing and turning at night because she had unresolved doubts.
Therefore, after interrogating Feng Xuanyuan and getting this information, it was enough.
As for why they were looking for Tang Wenshi’s body… Gu Yu could guess without Feng Xuanyuan having to say it. Judging by the disheveled state of Tang Wenshi’s clothes, Feng Xuanyuan was looking for something.
After failing to find it, she somehow learned that Gu Yu was the one who buried Tang Wenshi, and thus aggressively prepared to “pay a visit” to retrieve the item.
Also, regarding the identity of Feng Xuanyuan’s master… just seeing the admiration and respect in Feng Xuanyuan’s eyes when she mentioned her master, Gu Yu knew that no matter how he threatened her, she would not reveal her master’s name.
And Gu Yu didn’t want to set up his own informal court. To be honest, that feeling wasn’t very good.
It was better to just kill her with a knife.
However, sometimes, to pry information out of stubborn individuals, Gu Yu had no choice but to resort to cruel methods.
As the troubles he encountered increased, Gu Yu felt that these methods of establishing an informal court would likely be used frequently.
With these thoughts in mind, Gu Yu took out the bell box that controlled the Sea Eagle from his space, looked at it, and then threw it back into the space, ignoring it.
So, he just wanted to be an ordinary villager!
