Chapter 7468
You can't even stand it anymore?
This is absolutely explosive news that could ignite the entire internet: the behind-the-scenes boss of Xunjiang Group committing violence in public is practically a headline delivered to our doorstep!
Xiao Chen seemed oblivious to the surrounding noise, his aura growing increasingly chilling. His icy gaze, like a blade tempered with ice, was fixed on the man on the ground. His voice was devoid of warmth, yet carried a piercing pressure: "Who sent you?"
A ferocious smile twisted the man's face, a hint of confident arrogance lurking in his eyes. He roared defiantly:
"Your company's lousy drugs killed people, and you won't even let us, the victims' families, seek justice? If you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of me saying? You heartless businessmen deserve to be struck by lightning!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen's foot landed like a heavy hammer, firmly stepping on the wrist of the other person who had thrown the tomato.
"Snap!"
The clear, piercing sound of bones cracking instantly shattered the noise of the scene, and could be heard clearly even from several meters away.
The intense pain caused the man's body to convulse violently. Cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes, dripping down his face, which was as pale as paper.
But as if he had received professional interrogation training, he still gritted his teeth and repeatedly roared out the fabricated story, with even a hint of defiance in his eyes.
Xiao Chen looked down at him, his tone as calm as if he were talking about something trivial, yet it sent a chill down everyone's spine: "Which hand did you use to throw that thing? That hand is now useless."
He paused, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips, and added, "Next, would you like to try crippling another part of your body?"
"Also, I'm quite curious, how could someone who has practiced internal martial arts and has a steady breathing pattern come here to impersonate the family member of a victim who is powerless to even kill a chicken?"
The man's pupils suddenly contracted, and the defiance in his eyes was instantly replaced by panic, but he still feigned ignorance, his voice rising abruptly, filled with deliberately feigned grief and indignation:
"What nonsense are you spouting! What internal martial arts! My parents took your medicine and are still lying in the hospital, their lives hanging in the balance!"
"If anything happens to them, I'll fight you to the death! You heartless, unscrupulous businessmen!"
This tearful "accusation" once again stirred up the emotions of the surrounding crowd. The curses from men, women, and children grew more and more intense, and the vile words were overwhelming. Some people even picked up the debris on the ground again, wanting to throw it at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's icy gaze slowly swept across the entire room, his impatience deepening. He parted his thin lips slightly, uttering only two words:
"Noisy!"
The moment those two words were uttered, a thunderous sound wave exploded out, sweeping across the entire venue with a chilling aura.
Those in the front row felt as if their eardrums had been hit by a heavy hammer, buzzing and staggering backward uncontrollably.
Those in the back rows were affected and fell to the ground. Cries and screams mingled together, and the scene was chaotic, like the receding tide.
But as they struggled to get up and continued shouting and cursing, a chilling killing intent, like a thousand feet of ice, surged out from Xiao Chen and instantly enveloped the entire square!
In an instant, everyone seemed to fall into an ice cave, their blood seemed to freeze, their breaths instantly stopped, and an invisible force gripped their throats tightly.
They were rendered speechless, only boundless fear gripped their hearts like vines, causing even their fingertips to tremble uncontrollably.
“I don’t like anyone interrupting when I ask him questions.” Xiao Chen’s voice remained calm and even, yet it carried an air of domineering authority and ruthless determination that brooked no dissent. “Anyone who dares to utter another word will face the consequences. I mean what I say.”
This is a blatant threat, straightforward and vicious, without the slightest attempt at concealment.
But this simple sentence had an extreme effect. The entire area in front of the Xunjiang Group building fell into complete silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Only the heavy, suppressed breathing of people and the painful groans of the man on the ground remained. The contrast was so stark it was chilling.
Xiao Chen's gaze returned to the man's pale, contorted face. His tone was flat, yet carried a deadly pressure:
"I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me the truth, and maybe I can spare your life if you tell me who ordered you to do this. If I don't, you'll know what it means to be unable to live or die."
A fierce struggle flashed in the man's eyes. He knew very well that he was a suicide squad member, and if he failed the mission, he would die as well.
But the man's methods were too terrifying; the excruciating pain was about to break down his mental defenses.
Finally, he steeled himself and, with all his might, hissed:
"You Xunjiang Group... all you know how to do is threaten people with violence! I'm not afraid! Even if I die today, I will expose your shady dealings and let everyone know your true colors!"
The last trace of warmth in Xiao Chen's eyes vanished completely, leaving only absolute coldness and indifference, as if he were watching a clown.
"It seems you've made your choice."
His voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the deepest hell, carrying a chilling aura.
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen suddenly raised his foot and stomped heavily on the man's chest.
"Oh!"
The kick was as powerful as a thousand-pound hammer. The man was struck hard, his body arched violently, and he spat out another mouthful of scalding blood, which splattered onto Xiao Chen's trouser leg, a shocking sight.
His internal organs felt as if they had been displaced by the weight of his feet. The excruciating pain caused him to scream in agony as he rolled wildly on the ground, but he could not break free from the force of Xiao Chen's feet.
"You already feel pain?" Xiao Chen's voice was indifferent, without the slightest pity. "It's still a long way off."
As he spoke, a small, dark purple, withered leaf appeared on his fingertip. This was the Heart-Entangling Vine that he had obtained by chance at the Pill Sect. It looked ordinary, but it was actually extremely domineering.
When taken alone, it can cause extreme neurotic pain, like a thousand ants crawling into your heart or being slowly sliced to pieces. However, if it is catalyzed by one's own internal energy, the effect is doubled, and the pain strikes the depths of the soul, a hundred times more terrifying than death. It is an excellent tool for interrogation.
Xiao Chen bent down, pried open the man's mouth, and with a flick of his finger, the Heart-Binding Vine fell precisely into his throat. Immediately afterward, with a slight movement of his fingertip, a wisp of internal energy probed into the man's body, instantly catalyzing the medicinal effects.
The man initially tried to hold on, clenching his teeth and refusing to make a sound, but after only a few breaths, the medicinal power of the Heart-Entangling Vine suddenly erupted!
His muscles convulsed violently, as if being torn apart by an invisible hand. He foamed at the mouth, and his face turned from deathly pale to ashen, and then from ashen to purplish-black, all within a visible speed.
Sweat instantly soaked through his clothes, and he curled up into a shrimp-like ball, gasping for breath. His eyes were unfocused, clearly enduring unimaginable torture. (End of Chapter)
