However, Li Yi also looked expectantly at Ye Lang and Fei Gou...
Ye Lang and Fei Gou exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with struggle. First, Ye Hao killed so many of their brothers. Second, they had hunted Ye Hao. Third, Ye Hao was the rival of their organization. Could Ye Hao really withstand such a powerful organization?
Fei Gou's eyes flickered as he signaled to Ye Lang that this was a good opportunity. They had wanted to leave the organization before, but the organization was too dominant. They never had a chance to break away. Now, with this opportunity, perhaps they could follow Li Yi's example: enter prison for a while, make the organization think they were dead, and then wait for Ye Hao to manipulate things from behind the scenes.
They finally understood that Ye Hao's identity wasn't as simple as the information indicated. Perhaps he had other hidden identities; otherwise, how could Li Yi remain unharmed while following Ye Hao? Moreover, just by looking at Li Yi's complexion, you could tell how well he was doing—his skin smooth, his forehead glowing, unlike them, always weary and overburdened, their skin sallow.
However, they felt somewhat embarrassed about bringing it up—the fact that they had hunted Ye Hao, who was once their enemy, yet now they wanted to join him. It made them very awkward.
"Boss, don't hesitate. If you don't treat your leg soon, are you planning just to leave it like this? I don't want to lose a brother..." Li Yi said, glancing at his watch. In the blink of an eye, several minutes had passed. If they didn't make a decision soon, and Ye Hao handed them over to the police, they'd have no hope of getting out.
The reason Li Yi could get out of prison was because he surrendered. But if Ye Lang went in, he'd never get out because he participated in a gunfight in the city with firearms. Once in prison, he'd be doomed.
Ye Lang and Fei Gou struggled for a moment, then their gazes became resolute, nodding firmly.
If one doesn't act in their own interest, they will be doomed. In the past, they sacrificed too much youth for the organization without getting equivalent returns and had to always watch out for the organization's scrutiny. As soon as a flaw was spotted, they'd be sent for rehabilitation, and if successful, they'd become Super Soldiers, with power rivaling someone with five segments of National Martial Arts strength.
But if unsuccessful, they'd live neither as human nor ghost, without pain, without feeling, only with endless waiting. Waiting for the organization to modify them again, turning them into real Super Soldiers.
They had seen pictures of modified people within the organization: skin changed color, muscles sagged, bones replaced—not the usual human bones, but turned into steel...
"Take us to see him." Ye Lang said firmly, looking at Li Yi.
"Alright." Li Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly led Ye Lang into the hall.
Ye Hao saw them and asked, "That's it, isn't it?"
"There are still about ten others, but I'm not sure if they're willing to join us or not." Li Yi hesitated and said.
"It doesn't matter if it's unsure. I don't want my brothers to have regrets. Go get them out." Ye Hao waved his hand.
Li Yi excitedly walked out, his heart full of joy. With such a boss, would life still be considered too short?
Ye Lang and Fei Gou, hearing Ye Hao's previous words, also acknowledged Ye Hao in their hearts. The idea that Ye Hao could ensure no regrets for his brothers and forgive past enemies impressed them greatly with Ye Hao's magnanimity.
Actually, it wasn't like that. Ye Hao wasn't that magnanimous. He just didn't want Li Yi to have any regrets in his future life. It's not scary to lead a mundane life; what's scary is living without ever fulfilling one's desires and carrying regrets in the heart.
"Boss." Ye Lang and Fei Gou contemplated a moment and then called Ye Hao.
"Stand up!" Ye Hao walked over to help them up, then quickly jabbed his fingers into their thighs until the bleeding stopped.
This method made the two old fellows admire even more, looking at Ye Hao with eyes filled with appreciation.
Of course! It's not that Ye Hao was particularly impressive, but he pretended to stare out into space, making it easy for Qianqian to send the electric current through and help them stop bleeding.
The bleeding on the legs of the two stopped quickly. Ye Hao laughed and said, "Your legs are fine now. When Li Yi takes you to the island over there to settle down, rest for ten days or so, let the past drift away with the wind. I hope both of you can become like Li Yi in the future, my right-hand men."
"Certainly, we'll remember the boss's kindness all our life." Ye Lang knew that Ye Hao's words were meant to reassure them and hinted that he forgave their past attempt to hunt him.
"Mm, remembering is good, but I prefer you show me with actions, haha!" Ye Hao didn't hide his feelings, as accepting them meant he had places to use them.
"Whatever the boss says, I'm in," Ye Lang nodded, then turned to Lin Ruyu behind Ye Hao with an apologetic look, saying, "Sister-in-law, we once thought about capturing you and handing you over to our General. We made a mistake; hope you forgive us."
Lin Ruyu and Su Qing both blushed and lowered their heads when they heard Ye Lang call them sister-in-law. They were embarrassed to speak, unsure of whether Ye Lang meant one of them or their fellow sister.
"Alright, you brat, don't try getting in our good graces. I'll have Li Yi send you over later." Ye Hao replied jokingly.
Finally, Li Yi found twelve people he knew who were willing to join Ye Hao. Ye Hao showed little sentimentality toward them, simply stopping their bleeding and sending them to Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit Island to recuperate.
As for Falcon, Ye Hao naturally wouldn't hand him over to the police so easily.
He wanted to understand more about the true background of this underground organization. Otherwise, if handed directly to the police, they might not provide any useful information afterward.
Ye Hao dragged Falcon to the basement, casually tossing him into a corner.
"Speak, what more forces does your underground power have?" Ye Hao lit a cigarette, sat on the chair, and asked.
"Hmph! Don't expect me to say anything." Falcon snorted with dignity. He knew Ye Hao wouldn't let him go. After all, he was the leader of this mission. Even if Ye Hao spared him, he was doomed to die.
For anyone ranked above a vanguard in the organization, if captured by the enemy, the organization would spare no effort to eliminate that captured individual.
Just like two years ago, a general of the organization had been under Huaxia's surveillance for a year before they decided to arrest him. But less than three hours after being taken to Qincheng Prison, he mysteriously died. The coroner later confirmed that he had died from slow poison that corroded his heart. The general was dead before he could even be interrogated.
This shows how far-reaching the organization's influence is, even with people inside Huaxia's largest Qincheng Prison, silently eliminating the general.
"Oh? So courageous?" Ye Hao chuckled.
"Hmph!" Falcon snorted coldly. Having fallen into the enemy's hands, he had nothing more to say. They could kill or maim him as they pleased, he was ready to die.
"If you refuse to talk, then I'll show you what it means to wish for death over life!" Ye Hao smiled as he walked up to Falcon.
Falcon felt some fear of the unknown. Watching Ye Hao approach step by step, he kicked his legs to retreat into the corner.
"Don't hide, soon you'll feel very comfortable. If I were you, I'd talk now. Don't be curious about my methods; otherwise, even if you live, your life will be filled with misery." Ye Hao laughed.
"You... what do you want to do?" Falcon, for some reason, saw a kind of indifference and ruthlessness in Ye Hao's harmless gaze.
"You should know what I want. But it's up to you whether you talk. I can make you experience terror to the extreme." As Ye Hao said this, he placed his hand on Falcon's thigh.
Falcon was terrified and desperately dodged, but Ye Hao was not interested in his wound. He said to Qianqian in the space, "Qianqian, hit him with an electric current."
Upon receiving the command, Qianqian immediately released an electric current to attack Falcon. At first, Falcon felt quite comfortable, but gradually he became terrified because he felt his blood tingling and numb, with pain, itchiness, and bone pain assaulting his body.
"Ahhhhh!"
"What have you done to me?"
"Ah! Let me go, I'll tell, I'll tell!"
"Ah!"
The screams from the secret room didn't reach Lin Ruyu and the other two women above, otherwise, it would have scared them to death.
Ye Hao looked at the struggling Falcon on the ground and laughed, "Hehe, enjoy it slowly. Not everyone gets this feeling. Enjoy it well. I'll be back in ten minutes. Think carefully about whether you want to talk!"
"Ah! I'll talk now, I'll talk right away!" Falcon clawed at his body forcefully, turning it bloody and raw.
But Ye Hao didn't pay him any attention, letting him continue to scratch himself. He went outside, lit a cigarette, and leisurely smoked for ten minutes.
When he returned after ten minutes, Falcon lay on the ground like a dead dog, his body completely shredded, with skin ulcerated, a bloody mess.
His eyes were blank, foam at the corners of his mouth, looking every bit like a dying man.
Ye Hao kicked him, and Qianqian used the electric current to soothe his body again.
In that moment, Falcon felt an incredibly pleasant sensation, his eyes regaining some brightness as they filled with surprise.
"Ah! So good, do it again..."
But unfortunately, when Ye Hao heard him shout "so good," he moved his foot away.
Falcon once again became dispirited.
"Speak, this is your last chance. If you can't satisfy me, you'll get to enjoy that feeling again for an hour!"
"No... please no, I don't want that feeling. I'll say whatever you want me to say." Falcon, hearing Ye Hao mention that previous punishment, was thoroughly terrified. His voice was filled with pleading as he looked at Ye Hao.
"Tell me, who established your organization? Why was it established? When was it established? What does it primarily do?" Ye Hao asked a series of questions.
Falcon shook his head and said directly, "I don't know any of that. I don't have such high clearance. These things are generally only known by the generals."
"Oh? Generals? What generals?" Ye Hao was taken aback and asked. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
