Chapter 829 - Man as the Knife and the Block

Words : 1500 Author : Deep Feelings

Chapter 829 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts revealing the story: “Feel free to ask,” Wu Yiyu said.When he was reduced to being at someone else’s... Don’t miss it!

“Feel free to ask,” Wu Yiyu said.When he was reduced to being at someone else’s mercy, he lacked the courage to break his promise.

For many times, death was not the most unbearable pain.

Jiang Wang didn’t know what Lin Youxie was going to ask, but the case was about to end soon, and Lin Youxie was about to be cut loose.

It wasn’t necessary to offend her at this point, so he maintained a tacit approval.

Zhongxuan Xin was completely guided by his “Brother Jiang.”

But Lin Youxie slowly walked to a position facing Wu Yiyu, staring directly into his eyes.

She was half a head shorter than Wu Yiyu, but as their eyes met, hers carried an imposing and sharp scrutiny from above.

“You have connections with Hell Has No Door, don’t you?” she asked.

Wu Yiyu’s expression grew even more bitter.

“I didn’t expect that to be no secret.”

“Of course, in Qi Country, very few things can be hidden from us.” Lin Youxie stated matter-of-factly, “Organizations like Hell Has No Door can hide until they don’t reveal themselves.

But once we pay attention, nothing can escape.”

At this point, she specifically turned to glance at Jiang Wang.

“Don’t you think so?”

“Perhaps,” Jiang Wang responded expressionlessly.

Talking about nothing being able to escape, isn’t Yin Guan still at large?

Though the foundation of the Green Badge Aristocracy might be sufficient to crush Hell Has No Door, Qi Country was too vast, and there were too many matters that required the Green Badge’s attention, not just Hell Has No Door.

But he didn’t have to argue anything for Hell Has No Door.

If it was from the gutter, let it be.

Being humiliated or offended, getting angry was something Yin Guan should be concerned about, and it had nothing to do with him, Jiang Wang.

“Then why didn’t you capture me earlier?” Wu Yiyu asked dejectedly.

“Of course, to catch a bigger fish.

There are a few more like you in Qi Country.

Unfortunately, Hell Has No Door does not trust you enough,” she said.

Lin Youxie further dismantled his defenses and then suddenly asked, “Do you know Jiang Wang, the man from Green Sheep Town, known as the prodigy of Daqi?”

“I have heard of him, but I don’t know much,” Wu Yiyu honestly replied.

Clearly, he did not connect the prodigy from the rumors with the young man who just defeated him.

Being far in Zhuhe County, he also might not always be concerned with matters about young talents.

Jiang Wang pursed his lips, remaining silent.

At that moment, Lin Youxie was questioning the tightly bound Wu Yiyu, while Jiang Wang stood at the entrance of the courtyard, behind her.

Zhongxuan Xin stood opposing Jiang Wang.

In the courtyard, the four people each held their own stance.

“Very good!”

Hearing Wu Yiyu’s answer, Lin Youxie smiled.

“Then I will ask you one question, and you must answer it seriously.”

She slowly asked, “Is Hell Has No Door connected with Jiang Wang?”

Her voice was calm, encouraging, “No need for evidence.

Just tell me what you believe.”

Jiang Wang’s face was expressionless, and he made no movements.

However, his eyes momentarily flashed sharply, barely noticeably.

He had indeed once helped the people of Hell Has No Door infiltrate Linyi City, although that act did not impact the ultimate outcome of Hell Has No Door’s assassination of Zhao Xuan.

But his violation of Qi’s Law was a fact.

He didn’t know if Yin Guan would tell the others of Hell Has No Door about this matter, nor if Wu Yiyu had heard of it.

So now, Lin Youxie’s question was very dangerous!

She questioned Wu Yiyu with her back turned, seemingly without much guard.

Jiang Wang was fully confident that he could take her down in a split second.

Being born into the complex web of the Green Badge Aristocracy, she must have her ways to protect herself.

Jiang Wang emphasized in his mind—she must have her protective methods!

Yet, she might not be able to protect herself.

The Astray Path could confuse her judgment, and the Samadhi True Fire could incinerate her effortlessly.

But what then, after killing her?

Escape from Qi Country, start cultivating elsewhere?

If killing her was meaningless, then, should he still kill her?

Lin Youxie was merely loyal to the Qing badge he wore, without any false accusations or framing.

Annoying as his persistence was, the question remained—should he be killed?

In the end, Jiang Wang made no move.

It wasn’t necessary.

If Lin Youxie managed to extract any information, whether Jiang Wang killed him or not, he would have to flee Qi Country.

If he couldn’t get anything out of her, then there was even less need to act rashly.

However, Zhongxuan Xin glanced at Jiang Wang, eager to try.

He seemed quite angry about Lin Youxie’s offense, as if he would rush forward and kill Lin Youxie without hesitation at just a glance from Jiang Wang.

But his eagerness to show off was only because he was unaware of Lin Youxie’s importance and did not know about her backing, thinking the Zhong Xuan Family was powerful enough to handle the situation.

Yet Jiang Wang was very much aware that the power currently held by Xuan Sheng was insufficient to settle this matter.

The time for consideration was brief, but to those involved, it felt interminably long.

Lin Youxie seemed unguarded, while Jiang Wang appeared utterly indifferent.

Finally, Wu Yiyu shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

“You’re quite honest,” Lin Youxie said softly.

“Then I’ll change the question.

Before Jiang Wang became famous across Qi Country, did any of the assassins treated at your place ever talk about Jiang Wang?

Whatever the conversation was.”

Wu Yiyu thought carefully: “Never.”

Lin Youxie smiled: “I thought not!

My great heroes of Daqi, how could they mix with those rats from the gutters?”

Jiang Wang tapped the hilt of his sword impatiently, “Has Chief Lin finished her questioning?”

“Of course,” Lin Youxie seemed much more relaxed, turning to face him: “Do you have any questions?”

“Interrogation is not my forte,” Jiang Wang shook his head.

“Since that’s the case, Chief Lin, you should return to Linyi City and report back.”

“I have a request!”

Suddenly, Wu Yiyu shouted, and as everyone in the courtyard turned their gaze to him, he humbly pled: “Could I be sent back to Zhuhe County for trial?

I wish…

to spend my last days in my hometown.”

His words were quite touching.

Unfortunately, no one present was moved by them.

Jiang Wang was indifferent.

But Lin Youxie laughed, “What clever plans you have!

You plotted against your own brother, almost costing him his life, and now you expect mercy from him?

Wu Yiyu, you should be called Wu Cunning!”

Though his scheme was exposed, Wu Yiyu was not embarrassed.

He simply said, “I have Prime Stones, quite a lot.

All of my Prime Stones can be given to you gentlemen.

Just…

escort me back to Zhuhe County!”

He harbored no illusions that the Qing brand catchers would release him; that was impossible.

Even the greediest of catchers wouldn’t risk their promising careers in Qi Country for his mere handful of Prime Stones.

If taken directly to Linyi, his crimes would definitely lead to his execution.

But returning to Zhuhe County, that foolish, hypocritical brother of his would surely not have the heart to kill him, at most depriving him of his medical skills.

Better a poor life than a noble death.

In this, his brother Wu Yiyu lacked in all areas except one—it gave him some hope, and that was enough.

Jiang Wang despised the man’s character, but said nothing.

Lin Youxie then smiled, “As long as you cooperate well with our investigation, sending you back to Zhuhe is not a problem.

Even other matters might be negotiable…”

Her idea of cooperation was not just about simply following them.

Around Wu Yiyu’s connection to Hell Has No Door, she might well make a significant report.

“I will cooperate fully, I’ll cooperate with anything!” Wu Yiyu eagerly agreed.

But Jiang Wang had already lost all interest, “Since Chief Lin has her arrangements, I’ll take my leave now.”

Lin Youxie looked at Jiang Wang, chuckling: “Take care.”

But just at that moment.

Wu Yiyu, standing beside her, suddenly stretched out his hands.

The burst of strength was so great that he broke free from the shackles of the Body-Binding Chain.

But before Lin Youxie could react, and without waiting for Jiang Wang to make a move,

he suddenly crossed his hands and grabbed his own throat.

With a forceful squeeze, a ghastly crack sounded from his neck, and he died on the spot!
