Chapter 551 Precious Time
WARNING: Mention and depiction of violence.
The man was tied up in a chair and had his head lowered. His wet hair was sticking close to his face, and one could even see bruises and cuts on his face. Even though several people entered the room they kept him in, the man remained unresponsive. "Wake him up." Andrew ordered and one of the three men overlooking the captive, move forward with a bucket filled with water, tossing it towards the unconscious man. "Haa!!!... Cough! Cough!" The man awoke instantly, feeling cold from the water, and also flinched at the pain that came from the many cuts on his body. After inhaling and exhaling like a fish that had just jumped ashore, the man finally raised his head, only to see that there were several men in front of him. Immediately, his body shriveled with fear and he wanted to back away, but with the constraints of the ropes tied around his limbs and torso, he could only twist and turn like a worm trapped in a tube. Seeing this, Song Yu Han turned to Andrew and asked, "Has he not learned his lesson yet?" Andrew understood what Song Yu Han's words meant. One glance from him and the man who threw the bucket of water grabbed the back of the captive until the latter behaved obediently.
Song Yu Han did not question Andrew whether he got the right person. Andrew was not the type to make a newbie mistake. Besides...
If the man really knew nothing, would he really look at Song Yu Han with fear in his eyes?
Of course, it could also be because they beat him up so much that he was afraid of seeing several men entering the room they kept him in. Perhaps he feared they will gang up on him and finally kill him.
However, the man did not react until he saw Song Yu Han. More precisely, he started to flinch and get scared when he saw his face. For Song Yu Han, whose identity didn't appear publicly most of the time, an ordinary person like this man, especially someone who came from a humble background, shouldn't have been able to recognize him. Thus, Song Yu Han knew they had taken the right person just observing these points. Walking forward until he was a meter away from the man, Song Yu Han languidly said, "I have always treated my time to be more precious. So, let's not waste time." His eyes captured the man's fearful gaze, and Song Yu Han continued, "Tell me everything you know about that gig of yours." ***
In the beginning, Andrew was anxious that they won't get anything from the man. After all, after detaining him in that room and subjecting him from physical torture, the man didn't even break and kept his mouth shut. Only when Andrew got more clues from his men did he reveal these to the man, who finally showed a reaction, confirming the things that they had gathered so far. However, now that Song Yu Han straightforwardly told the man to spill his secrets, Andrew was prepared to deal with more physical pain to the man until he breaks just so his boss could get the answers he wanted. But looking at the man whose mouth continuously spilled his secrets, Andrew knew that there was no need for him to do anything. As expected, the mere appearance of Song Yu Han was enough to make the man surrender. It was not because Song Yu Han's eyes and face looked extremely unbearable to look at, as if a demon had come out from the cracks of the earth. Rather, it was because the man knew Song Yu Han's identity and knew that defying him would only give him a painful and long death. "I-I only know that we... we're ambushing Don Alejandro's villa. We would then murder everyone who got to escape." The man swallowed hard, but his throat was too dry so he could only painfully cringe as he continued, "Then, we got a new... new task." Andrew and the other men tensed up. This new task was new to them because the man never opened his mouth about it.
The man hesitated. His head was scolding him, warning him not to tell what he knew to this man. "Go on," said Song Yu Han. His light and casual tone made them had the illusion that they weren't forcing someone to tell them their deepest, darkest secrets. As if enchanted, no, compelled to talk, the next words that came out of the man's lips became eloquent and fast.
"We received a new task. It was to chase and capture a woman named Alina." The man finally revealed the truth that Andrew and the others would have to spend days to get it out of his lips.
However, Song Yu Han was unsatisfied with just this. He already knew the ins and outs of the events that took place five days ago. What he wanted to know is something more substantial, more inclusive information. Leaning a little forward, Song Yu Han said in a low voice, "You know this isn't what I want. Who ordered you and the others? Where did it happen? How much did they give you, and where is Alina right now? These questions are still unanswered." "Most importantly, where's your base?"
The body of the man shook tremendously. He looked exactly like a leaf that was about to fall from the intense wind. Truth to be told, he still wanted to avoid telling the real truth to this man. After all, Song Yu Han or that demon... either men wouldn't forgive him and let him live. But compared to Song Yu Han, that demon still held something important to him. And so, the man still wanted to keep what he knew to himself. It was his fault that a momentary boost of his ego and pride made him recklessly shoot his mouth. Now, he was in this situation where he can't escape.
Sensing that the man was reluctant to tell the truth, Song Yu Han also did not force him. Raising a hand, Song Yu Han coldly said to his subordinates, "Go to his house, ransack it, take everything that is inside. Trace the people he's close with and bring them all here."
A smirk appeared on his lips. "I'm sure they'll be pleased to see you and join you here."
