Brother Gou also laughed, "Kid, I already told you, I won't tell you. I am highly professional."
Slap!
Ling Zhenfei slapped Brother Gou's face hard, "Damn you, talking about professional integrity when you schemed Jiang Hui into filming others. To think you claim to have professional ethics, it seems I need to teach you what professionalism really means."
"Don't waste your effort. Although I lost today, you'd better kill me or else you'll find out just how tough Brother Gou can be. Wasn't it Ling Zhenfei who sent you? I will make sure to destroy Ling Zhenfei."
Brother Gou threatened Ling Zhenfei with complete hooliganism, totally like a gangster not afraid of scalding hot water.
"Nice, with that statement, whatever I do to you next will be totally justified."
Ling Zhenfei slightly smiled, then took out a small bottle of pills from his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and stuffed a pill into each person's mouth, forcing them to swallow it with the Northern Spiritual Energy.
"What is this thing you've fed us?" A group of people began asking Ling Zhenfei in surprise, not knowing what they had eaten, but sure it was nothing good.
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "What I just fed you is indeed a fine thing, crafted from expensive ingredients like scorpions, centipedes, toads, snakes, Five-Poison Flowers, and Crane's Crest Red."
"What valuable ingredients? These are all poisons! You fed us poison, I won't let you go even as a ghost!"
"Such cruel intentions, we have nothing to do with all this, why be so ruthless?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry at all, the medicine I gave you isn't meant to poison you to death. The medicine I fed you is called Tianming Hundred Days Powder. What does this medicine do, you ask? Let me explain."
"This medicine is quite interesting. There was a tiny bug in the medicine you just swallowed. The bug is now living inside you. The 'hundred days' in its name means you can live for another hundred days after ingestion. That sounds like a long time, doesn't it?"
"After one hundred days, the bug will start to eat your heart, and it will consume your heart completely, leaving you beyond saving."
After Ling Zhenfei finished, the crowd who had been fed the poison screamed in horror, "What, a hundred days? You might as well kill me now."
"Everyone, let's kill him together," they shouted, though no one could stand up.
At this moment, Brother Gou spoke, "Don't panic, everyone. This kid is just trying to scare us. There's no such thing as a bug. Don't be afraid."
Knowing Brother Gou was experienced and wise, since he said so, everyone calmed down and quietly watched Brother Gou and Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "I really admire that you still don't realize your situation even now. But don't worry, the medicine called Tianming Hundred Days Powder will make the bug need to feed every day, and you'll soon feel it."
After finishing, Ling Zhenfei stopped paying attention to these people, took Jiang Hui's phone, handed it back to her, and Jiang Hui took the phone and said thank you.
"No need to thank me. You're free now, go and start your new life."
A flicker of panic crossed Jiang Hui's face, "I'm really sorry, I just..."
Ling Zhenfei quickly interrupted Jiang Hui and did not let her continue, though he knew what she was about to say.
Indeed, Jiang Hui had deceived Ling Zhenfei again, originally planning to exchange Ling Zhenfei's video for her own things. No one expected that Brother Gou would not let her off so easily.
Because she hadn't anticipated Ling Zhenfei being so formidable, handling someone as vicious as Brother Gou seemed easy, yet such a person as Brother Gou was simply incurable.
Perhaps Brother Gou had capitulated, but as he said, as long as he wasn't killed, he would use many methods to ruin Ling Zhenfei completely.
But seeing how Ling Zhenfei still trusted her at this moment, how could she contain her emotions? However, Ling Zhenfei didn't let her finish, perhaps that was for the best.
"I really do not know how to thank you. If it hadn't been for you, I would be at a loss for how to live the rest of my life."
Jiang Hui looked at Ling Zhenfei, her eyes filled with fervor. Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly, "It's okay, you did it for me as well."
"Ouch, it hurts so much."
"Ah, it's killing me."
"What's going on? Why does my heart suddenly hurt? It feels like something is biting me."
"It feels like a small bug is biting, that young guy was talking about it. We just ate a bug."
The effects finally kicked in, and the pain in their hearts made everyone in the room wish for death. Such agony was unbearable for a normal person, nothing like a mere cut on the hand.
Some screamed to the heavens, others rolled around on the floor, and some even crawled towards Ling Zhenfei, attempting to grasp his legs.
"Give me the antidote, quickly, I'll give you money."
Brother Gou could not take it anymore and yelled at Ling Zhenfei, who laughed, "Sorry, I have plenty of money and do not need yours."
"Then what do you want? I'll give you anything, just give me the antidote." Brother Gou was drenched in sweat, nearly on the verge of collapse.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Do I need to repeat what I want? I've already asked you. If you're going to speak, then do it quickly. If not, I won't ask again."
Brother Gou struggled to hold on, blurting out two words: "I'll talk!"
But as soon as he spoke, he collapsed, rolling on the ground and continuously pounding his chest, as if trying to kill the bug buried there by hand.
But how could they? This was all in vain. It was impossible to crush the bug by hand, just as we cannot kill the bacteria on our hands by slapping a table hard.
The wave of pain lasted around five minutes. While it may seem brief, after those five minutes, everyone lay motionless on the floor, the shouting and pain having thoroughly sapped their strength.
Ling Zhenfei sat on the couch, looking at the people on the floor, "Well, are you going to talk or not? If not, I'm leaving; I don't have time to play with you."
"I'll tell, I'll tell, I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Brother Gou gave in. Not everyone could withstand such agony.
"Why do you want to obtain videos of Ling Zhenfei?" Ling Zhenfei planned to ask one question at a time.
"Someone offered a high price to get Ling Zhenfei's video," Brother Gou said faintly.
"What's the purpose of this person wanting the video?"
Brother Gou answered, "It's probably Ling Zhenfei's rival, wanting to use this method to target Ling Zhenfei."
Ling Zhenfei had already guessed this from Brother Gou's answers, so he was not surprised.
"Who exactly is this person?"
Brother Gou hesitated slightly then said, "I really do not know who it is, we only communicated through phone."
