Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 185: Interrogation of Jiang Hui (2)

"Since we can find out who did it with money, then we are out of trouble, right?" Jiang Hui’s three lackeys asked hopefully.

"Wishful thinking, how could I possibly leave a loose end? You’re useless now, of course I’m going to silence you."

"No, no, please, spare me, I haven’t lived enough yet!"

"I’m still young, I have many years left to live, don’t kill me!"

"Please don’t kill me, I don’t want to die, if you have to kill someone, kill Jiang Hui, it’s all his fault, if I didn’t listen to him, I would be bullied to death every day just like those twins, and I don’t even have parents as good as theirs."

"Yeah, right, if you’re going to kill someone, kill Jiang Hui, he’s the one who ordered us around, we were forced to, this could spare my life, right?"

Once their breathing eased, their speech became more fluid, rapid-fire like a machine gun turning on, but their high-pitched, sharp voices were unbearable to the ears.

Jiang Hui looked at his own brothers with an expression of disbelief.

"You’re betraying me?!"

"Jiang Hui, am I saying anything that’s not true?"

"Jiang Hui, we followed you, were we not forced by you?"

"That’s right, Jiang Hui, you borrowed Huang Yuanhao’s men to block our way and beat us every other day, which part of that is a lie? You tell me!"

The boys who turned against him made it clear where they stood, directly calling out Huang Yuanhao’s name, as if they didn’t know what Brother Haozi was a second ago.

Angered beyond words, Jiang Hui finally choked out, "I have been good to you!"

"Bullshit!"

"Would you like being forced to be a lackey?"

"Can you smile after being beaten every other day?"

"You’re the natural-born lackey, sucking up to others. Didn’t you rush to hold Huang Yuanhao’s thighs when he was recruiting lackeys, acting especially cruel to show off, or else how could you be where you are now?"

Ye Nai silently watched them tear into each other like dogs, even taking out her phone to record them, but in her heart, she knew these four couldn’t be spared. The harm they inflicted wasn’t limited to Ye Ying and Ye Ji; every student they targeted was a victim.

There was no way she was going to let them off, but she needed to think carefully about how to deal with them without implicating herself.

Thinking thus, Ye Nai injected a bit more spore into their bodies, both to heal the internal injuries she had inflicted the day before, to keep them healthy, and to serve as a tracker.

Her arrival with Space Teleportation really was timely. Wanting to discuss something secretly, just jump to the Secret Realm where no one could find them.

She hadn’t needed it during two months in the Secret Realm, but as soon as she came out, it was useful. Surely the Space Fungus had decomposed and absorbed the energy from the Big Heart Core, reaching a new threshold, crossing a new phase, and gaining new abilities. It just wasn’t as obvious as growing taller or gaining muscle on her physical body.

"Are you done talking? Once you are, I need to deal with you. It’s getting late, and I need to go back to sleep."

"Don’t kill me, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything you ask!" someone pleaded.

"Anything at all? Really?"

"Really, truly!"

"What about the others?"

"Me too, I’m the same, I’ll do anything you ask!"

"I’ll even kill for you, I’ve seen on TV that when you replace the boss you have to kill, I’ll help you kill Jiang Hui, it won’t dirty your hands!"

One of the three lackeys suddenly turned ruthless, startling the other two, who then eagerly expressed their willingness as well.

"But I haven’t decided what I want you to do yet, and besides, you’re all too young, what can you do, not even strong enough to swing a hoe in the fields."

"Whatever you ask us to do, just don’t kill us."

"I thought young people your age weren’t afraid of dying, that you were all about loyalty, willing to take a knife for your brother."

"Jiang Hui never treated us as brothers, we’re not dying with him!"

"Alright, since you’re begging me so sincerely, I’ll spare you for now. I’ll find you when I’ve made up my mind."

"Okay, okay, sure!"

The three boys cried tearfully as the spores within them shifted, and they fell asleep, their heads tilting to one side.

After such a big shock today, they should have been active before resting, but Ye Nai did not intend to let them recover comfortably. Sooner or later, what goes around comes around; now was their time to pay the piper.

"Don’t kill me, I was just following Huang Yuanhao’s orders, it was him who told me to do this." Jiang Hui closed his eyes, screaming in terror, and then coughed and choked for a long while.

"He tells you to do something and you just do it? Don’t you have a brain?"

"If I don’t work for him, I’ll starve to death."

"Oh, so you’ve starved before, and now you want to see what it’s like for others to almost starve to death?"

"Don’t kill me! I’ll tell you everything, I’ll tell you where to find Huang Yuanhao!"

"Good, tell me now!"

"He often goes to the Gaofei Internet Cafe on Wuyuan Road; it’s watched over by his ’big brother’ and he always meets there."

"What does ’big brother’ mean? Someone from his family or from the gang?"

"From the gang, the big brother he follows. I’ve heard he’s quite high-ranking."

"So he’s just a little brother?"

"Right, in their eyes, he’s also just a little brother."

"Did you give the smartphone to him?"

"Yes, I gave it to him, handed it over at the Internet Cafe."

"Okay, I’ll spare you this time."

Joy instantly spread across Jiang Hui’s face as he thought he was going to live.

But then Ye Nai landed a heavy blow.

"What did you want those twins to go to the park for, huh?"

"...!" Jiang Hui’s mouth suddenly gaped open.

"Such an important question, you think because I haven’t asked, I’d forgotten about it? If they hadn’t told me about this, why would my boss pay me to come here in the middle of the night, right? Young man, you need to use your brain when you’re doing things."

"Speak!"

"I... I..."

"Not going to listen, hm?"

Ye Nai let out a sigh, and the next second, Jiang Hui screamed in agony.

His organs were wracked with pain once again.

But his vocal cords were still being squeezed, so even though he screamed, he couldn’t make much noise. However, much better than before, his breathing wasn’t hindered, allowing him to gasp for air.

Ye Nai let him suffer for an entire quarter-hour before gradually easing the pain, which took another five minutes.

"Ready to talk now?"

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk..."

"Speak!"

"It was Huang Yuanhao’s idea; he thought the twins were disobedient, so he told us to teach them a lesson."

"How were you going to teach them?"

"Told them to go to Six Bridge Park and have the local thugs beat them up."

"Lots of people hitting hard, what if they were beaten to death?"

"That would just be their bad luck."

"Brave of you."

"At the time we really didn’t know someone had their back." Jiang Hui was truly trembling, but his body couldn’t move, so it wasn’t visible.

"Either you think I’m stupid, or you really are stupid, being played by someone and even counting their money. The twins carry no cash, only pay by smartphone, obviously their parents regularly transfer money to them, and you guys stole their phones and gave them to your boss. They’re spending money left and right and you don’t get a cent."

"Really, really?" Jiang Hui’s eyes widened, not wanting to believe it yet feeling it must be true.
