Chapter 1063 - 1063: Refusing to Speak

Jia Luo stepped forward and replied, "The exact time still depends on the situation, but based on our accumulated experience with the Bai Family, it should be no more than two days."

Bai Huanyu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Two days is forty-eight hours, two thousand an hour, that's ninety-six thousand. I'll simply give each of you one hundred thousand. Please!"

Before Jia Luo and Hou Shuapeng could respond, Xiao Feng answered for the two, "Old Master Bai is indeed generous, so let's happily decide on this."

Objectively speaking, the price of one hundred thousand from Bai Huanyu is quite fair.

Because two thousand per hour refers to working time, Jia Luo and Hou Shuapeng are not robots; they can't work for two days and nights without sleeping.

Besides, even if they could go without sleep, the ones receiving treatment like Bai Tieniu certainly wouldn't be able to endure it.

After instructing someone to lead Jia Luo and Hou Shuapeng away, Bai Huanyu gestured for Xiao Feng to sit down, and the two began chatting over tea.

Of course, they talked about trivial matters, and the atmosphere was quite cordial.

However, this cordiality didn't last long before a call came to Xiao Feng's phone.

The caller was Hua Ling, and Xiao Feng greeted Bai Huanyu before walking out of the courtyard to answer the call.

"Gu Wanrong wants to see you." Hua Ling said directly, with no small talk.

"See me?"

"To be precise, she wants to see the person who injured her and captured her."

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and replied, "She doesn't know what I really look like. I've already told you what happened that day. Just find someone to bluff her with a few words, won't it work?"

"I tried." Hua Ling said helplessly, "But after two attempts, it was busted both times."

"Haven't you considered she's trying to trick you?"

"Hey, don't worry about whether it's a trick or not. Just come over quickly. I'm ordering you as the team leader."

Xiao Feng chuckled, "You know I respond to softness, not hardness."

Hua Ling immediately changed her tone, "Come on, please, they're all waiting impatiently."

Instantly, Xiao Feng shivered, goosebumps appearing on his arms. He quickly said, "Alright, alright, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Feng didn't waste much time. He bid farewell to Bai Huanyu, then left and hailed a cab straight to the Demon Suppression Action Team headquarters.

Gu Wanrong's detention location was another level down in the underground base, specifically for holding major case criminals.

Along the way, he was checked three times before finally arriving at the door to Gu Wanrong's detention.

Then, the person in charge of guarding verified a fingerprint, and another verified an iris, before finally opening the door.

At this moment, Gu Wanrong was sitting behind a small table, handcuffed and shackled. Upon seeing Xiao Feng enter, she smiled and said, "It's really you."

"So, you already guessed?" Xiao Feng sat opposite her, looking calm.

"In Jiangcheng's domain, being able to beat me to the point where I couldn't fight back, and having connections with the Du Family, you're the only one."

"So, it's no surprise that I could guess."

Xiao Feng tapped the table, "Don't waste time, just say it. Why did you ask for me?"

"First, return the Incense Bag to me." Gu Wanrong reached out to demand.

Xiao Feng took the Incense Bag from around his neck and placed it on the table.

Gu Wanrong took the Incense Bag, somewhat surprised by Xiao Feng's straightforwardness, and asked perplexedly, "You don't want to ask anything?"

"If I ask, will you answer?"

"How do you know I won't answer if you don't ask?"

Xiao Feng nodded, "Alright, first question, that night when I picked up with the chopsticks..."

Before he could finish, Gu Wanrong's hand, locked to the table, clenched into a fist.

"See? I haven't asked yet, and you react like this." Xiao Feng shrugged, showing he expected this reaction.

Gu Wanrong gritted her teeth and, after several deep breaths, said, "Being locked up here, I'm certainly not getting out. Are you planning to keep me here for life?"

"That's a question you shouldn't ask me. It's not up to me."

"Yanhuang, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. Since you can lock me up here, you must have a way to get me out. What do you need me to do, just tell me directly."

"Hand over the formula for that incense you make—that's the basic requirement."

Gu Wanrong squinted her eyes, "If I really hand it over, I'm afraid I'll never get out."

"If you say that, then there's no point in continuing the discussion." Xiao Feng said indifferently, "You can choose not to hand it over and stay here."

After speaking, he stood up to leave.

"Wait!" Gu Wanrong quickly said, "Besides this condition, what else..."

"Other things don't interest me much." Xiao Feng interrupted, "Remember that night, after lighting the incense, the question I asked you?"

Gu Wanrong fell silent and nodded after a while.

It wasn't very strange to Xiao Feng, after all, the incense was made by the other party, it made sense to leave a "backdoor" for herself.

After a moment of thought, he spoke, "You said you want revenge, and you're willing to exchange it with the Devil's Concentration Camp. Why don't you consider, with the same condition, joining the Demon Suppression Action Team?"

"Would you agree?" Gu Wanrong's face was full of skepticism, her smile tinged with sarcasm.

Xiao Feng laughed and, in the same way as her, retorted, "How do you know if we won't agree if you don't say it?"

Although speaking like this, he understood that Gu Wanrong's enemies must be quite influential, not ordinary people.

Otherwise, given the Devil's Concentration Camp's modus operandi, they would've avenged her by now.

After a long pause, Gu Wanrong shook her head, "You go."

"You're really not going to say?" Xiao Feng frowned.

Waited for so long, and this is all you want to tell me?

"I don't plan to." Gu Wanrong confirmed.

Xiao Feng stood up, sneering, "Fine, if you don't say it now, then never say it."

With that, he walked straight toward the door.

Such an attitude naturally contained an element of intimidation.

Unfortunately, even until Xiao Feng stepped outside the door and heard the lock click, he didn't hear Gu Wanrong's call to stop him.

He turned his head to look at the closed cell door, his heart filled with confusion.

What kind of enemies are there, that even the Devil's Concentration Camp finds them tricky?

However, since Gu Wanrong won't speak, guessing won't help.

Because these people are rare globally, but certainly not scarce, we can't possibly investigate them all.

Once out of the underground base, Hua Ling jumped in front of Xiao Feng, hands on hips, "I heard your conversation."

"And then?" Xiao Feng didn't even lift his eyelids.

"This thing with picking up with chopsticks, you've never mentioned it to me."

"It's nothing, just something inconsequential."

"Could your evasiveness be any more obvious?" Hua Ling said, exasperated.

Xiao Feng retorted irritably, "You're so young, where does all this curiosity come from? Use your time to consider serious matters, stop fixating on me."

"Who's fixating on you?" Hua Ling's cheeks flushed as she protested, "You think I'm like Mu Shihan, some lovesick fool?"
