Chapter 27 Subjugation!

with Zhang Mingqi, it would be an incestuous affair that everyone who knew the truth would condemn and mock, resulting in nothing but trouble.So let things remain as they are. Due to Wang Zheng's cons...Chapter 27 Subjugation!

"Another assassin" A solemn expression filled Shishi's young face: "Why are there so many assassinations lately One after another!"

Cheng Yuling was tied to a pillar in a soundproof, underground room located beneath the villa on Flat Ridge Mountain, where ordinary people couldn't find him.

"Who sent you" Shishi asked.

Fitting for someone who had been an elite soldier, Cheng Yuling remained tough and looked at the young girl named Shishi before snorting heavily and turning his face away, too proud to answer.

"Wang Zheng, interrogate him for me. As long as he doesn't die, you can torture him however you like!" Knowing that she wouldn’t get anything out of him, Shishi turned her head and left.

Wang Zheng closed the heavy iron door to the secret room, pulled up a chair opposite Cheng Yuling, sized him up, and wore an extremely regretful expression: "An elite special forces soldier, why has he fallen so far"

The best of the best can still be surpassed. Cheng Yuling felt inclined to speak with Wang Zheng; after all, for these former soldiers, only those stronger than themselves were worth their admiration.

Everyone who retired from special forces had a good future ahead of them and could receive a substantial sum even if they changed professions. They wouldn't end up working as someone else's pawn. Of course, that was assuming the person didn’t have gambling or other vices.

"Judging by your skills, you must also be from special forces, right You ended up with Li Minghao, a gangster." A contemptuous smile flashed in Cheng Yuling’s eyes: "At least, if I hadn't come to the capital city, I would have been thriving in the Golden Triangle."

Wang Zheng also smiled disdainfully: "If an elite soldier from China's Wolf Tooth Special Forces couldn’t survive in the Golden Triangle, people would laugh at him."

In that moment, Cheng Yuling’s eyes were full of shock!

"How do you know I'm a member of Wolf Tooth"

One had to understand that the Wolf Tooth Special Forces was one of China's high-level and highly confidential special forces units. Ordinary civilians couldn’t possibly know anything about it! And yet, this seemingly young guy in front of him called out his unit number!

Wang Zheng rolled his eyes: "How could I not know The move you used just now was something I created, and I’ve only taught Wolf Tooth soldiers."

"What You created that move" Cheng Yuling's shock couldn't begin to describe it: "Could you be…"

Cheng Yuling already had a clear answer in his mind, but he couldn't convince himself to believe it.

"Yes, I am from Longlin."

Hearing this answer, Cheng Yuling didn't show any surprise. Instead, he lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

"The gap between Wolf Fang and Longlin is too great. Being defeated by Longlin isn't that shameful."

"Li Minghao, the gang leader you mentioned, also comes from Longlin," Wang Zheng dropped another bombshell.

"What Li Minghao is also from Longlin"

"To Li Minghao, your level of skill means nothing. You all are being overly ambitious attempting to harm him." Contempt was evident on Wang Zheng's face.

The ten people Cheng Yuling brought with him, whether dead or alive, were taken back by Li Minghao. How he would interrogate them was his business. As an expert in interrogation from the Longlin Special Forces, every one of them knew how to get information out of prisoners.

"Being captured by Longlin is something I accept without question. There's nothing else to say," Cheng Yuling was quite resolute. He knew that compared to Wang Zheng, there was a world of difference in their abilities, so he didn't want to argue further. As for begging for mercy, it wasn't his style.

"Although I won't let anyone who poses a threat to me off the hook, I can allow you to go back unharmed," Wang Zheng said with narrowed eyes at this man—a battle-hardened special forces elite. "I promise not to kill you."

"What conditions do I need to agree to" Cheng Yuling wasn't an idiot; he realized that Wang Zheng had already seen his value, and no one wants to die when they have a chance for survival.

Cheng Yuling sneered coldly. "Do you want to know my name or who sent me I won’t tell you anything. As fellow special forces soldiers of China, you should understand that if I can't withstand your interrogation methods, I’ll choose self-hypnosis and brain death. Then, you'll find no use for me at all."

Special Forces personnel generally have extremely strong willpower; besides physical training, they also undergo intense mental resistance training. Self-induced brain death isn’t difficult for them to achieve. When a special forces soldier can't endure an enemy's interrogation, they often imagine falling from a high building or being engulfed in flames—these deep hypnosis techniques effectively result in brain death, rendering the interrogator powerless.

Cheng Yuling was different from ordinary Special Forces soldiers; he had been one of the top fighters in Wolf Fang before and had developed exceptional combat skills. Over the years, he'd carved out a territory for himself alone in the treacherous Golden Triangle, honing his strategic thinking and leadership abilities to an extraordinary degree. These traits were what Wang Zheng valued most.

"Very well, you know how to threaten," Wang Zheng smiled contentedly but suddenly turned cold. "But don’t think that as a Longlin member, I don’t have a hundred ways to stop you from choosing self-hypnosis and brain death. Do you believe me"

Cheng Yuling's face changed; he knew about the enigmatic Longlin Special Forces but had no idea what methods their interrogators possessed. He preferred to trust them rather than become a test subject for their techniques.

"What exactly do you want me to do" Cheng Yu Ling tried hard to build up his courage and stare down Wang Zheng, but he found that he had lost his nerve; he was indeed intimidated by Wang Zheng.

"Don't worry, I won't ask silly questions like what your name is or who sent you. All I need to do is input your photo into my database, and everything will become clear." Wang Zheng continued to give Cheng Yu Ling a sense of despair.

"Then what exactly are you going to do People from Long Lin are indeed formidable!"

"Help me with something every three months," Wang Zheng fiddled with the silver needles in his hand, but there was a flash of cold light in his eyes.

"What kind of thing Do I have the right to refuse How can you believe that I'll help you"

"I haven't figured out what it is yet, but you don't have any choice."

With that said, Wang Zheng casually flicked his right hand and a needle with a dark sheen pierced Cheng Yu Ling's lower chest in the blink of an eye!

Cheng Yu Ling's expression changed dramatically: "You still want to kill me"

"The膻中穴is a vital point; however, it is usually not easy to find. Only someone at my level can strike it from a distance."

Wang Zheng stood up and walked in front of Cheng Yu Ling, pulled out the needle, then said: "This is Hundred Day Corpse Poison that I found in an ancient book. It's truly amazing that I was able to concoct this poison; according to the ancient text, after poisoning someone their body will gradually dry up and break apart over a period of 100 days. It’s undoubtedly the best choice for poisoning and killing someone. Don't doubt its effectiveness; I've already tested it on rats with satisfactory results. As for how it works, I still haven’t figured that out."

Wang Zheng had once found a bound edition of "華夏毒譜" (Chinese Poison Manual) in the old man's study. It was so worn out and tattered that it barely held together, but all it recorded were strange poisons and formulas. Most of them were incomplete due to their age, but this 'Hundred Day Corpse' was one of the more complete ones.

Cheng Yu Ling understood: "So I have to come to you every three months for an antidote If I can't accomplish my mission, would I be unable to obtain the antidote"

"What use is a pawn without any function" Wang Zheng untied Cheng Yu Ling's hands: "I've already said it; you have no choice."

Seeing that Cheng Yu Ling was silent, Wang Zheng continued: "I’ve decided on the first task. Return to the border and develop your own armed forces. Quality is more important than quantity; in three months I want you to expand to 300 people, which would be a considerable force in the Golden Triangle."

Seeming to know what Cheng Yu Ling was going to ask next, Wang Zheng continued: "As for funding, figure it out yourself. If my expectations are met after three months, I'll provide some manpower and resources."

"Alright." Cheng Yu Ling rubbed his purple-tinged wrists, looking somewhat dejected.

"For your sake, I will let Cheng Kangmei go this time, but there won't be a next time." Wang Zheng's gaze was icy.

"How do you know about my uncle" Cheng Yuling's expression was somewhat shocked because over the years, his uncle had been the person who helped him the most. Regardless of emotion or reason, he did not want anything to happen to this uncle on the Chinese Rich List.

"I said I have a database."

Wang Zheng's lips curled into a devilish smile: "If there is another time, it won't be entirely bad for you either."

"What benefit would killing my uncle bring me At the very least, my team will lose an enormous financial support!"

"If something happens to Cheng Kangmei, I can let you inherit the Mei Long Group. In your eyes, I see desire and ruthlessness, which shows that you are ambitious, precisely what I need right now."

Inherit the Mei Long Group!

Wang Zheng was like a devil tempting a child to commit crimes, continuously waving his pitchfork, luring Cheng Yuling's psychological defenses to crumble step by step.

After a long silence, Cheng Yuling eventually sighed and said: "You win, I will follow your instructions."

With that, Cheng Yuling turned around and slowly walked out of the secret room. He moved very slowly but steadily, which showed that after the internal struggle just now, he had already reached a conclusion that could convince himself.

Wang Zheng watched as Cheng Yuling left, falling into silence.

To counterbalance the formidable Su family in politics and business required efforts beyond ordinary imagination. There were still many things Wang Zheng needed to do.

As for Cheng Yuling, he was a chess piece planted by Wang Zheng on the border of Yunnan, which would eventually come into play.

It somewhat disappoints my brothers' goodwill, but with your support, it feels truly wonderful.
