Chapter 287: Chapter 287 Wilderness Villa_1
Facing the steadily approaching Ye Fei, Wang Xingde yelled in terror, "Someone! Come quick!"
A dozen bodyguards rushed in immediately.
But how could they possibly be a match for Ye Fei.
After a series of screams, the bodyguards were beaten to a pulp, lying scattered all over the floor.
Ye Fei flipped over the desk and, as if he were picking up a chick, hoisted Wang Xingde into the air.
"Do you know why I’ve come to find you?"
Wang Xingde nodded, then shook his head frantically, "No, I don’t know!"
"You don’t know, huh. Okay then."
Ye Fei smiled slightly and threw Wang Xingde to the ground.
Wang Xingde fell hard, his face smeared with blood, and his body felt as if it were falling apart.
Ye Fei stepped on him, "Do you know now?"
As he spoke, he pressed down harder with his foot, almost making Wang Xingde vomit his bile.
"I know! I know! Stop stepping on me, I know! You’ve come for the Pangu Sect!"
If Wang Xingde hadn’t mentioned the Pangu Sect, Ye Fei wouldn’t have been so sure.
Now that he had said it, Ye Fei was even more certain of his suspicion.
There was a spy from the Pangu Sect within the War Department!
Only less than ten people knew about Ye Fei asking Wang Jianglong to investigate the Pangu Sect.
If the news hadn’t been leaked, how could Wang Xingde have known in advance that he was coming for him? And how could he so readily confess about the Pangu Sect?
It seemed that on returning, it was imperative to root out the spy in the War Department first.
But that was a matter for later.
Ye Fei asked in a deep voice, "Then tell me, where is the Diku Venerable?"
"I don’t know."
"You don’t know?"
Crack!
Without hesitation, Ye Fei broke Wang Xingde’s right arm with a stomp.
"Where is the Diku Venerable? Speak."
Ye Fei then placed his foot on Wang Xingde’s left arm.
"I really don’t..."
Crack!
The left arm of Wang Xingde broke with an audible snap.
This time, Ye Fei directly stepped on Wang Xingde’s head.
The latter was so frightened that he wet himself.
"Don’t step on it! Please, Mr. Ye, spare me under your foot! I don’t want to keep silent, but I can’t tell you!"
"What do you mean?"
Wang Xingde sobbed, "If he finds out I’ve betrayed him, my daughter’s life will be over!"
Ye Fei furrowed his brow, "Your daughter is in the hands of the Diku Venerable?"
"Not exactly, but it’s pretty much the same. The Venerable has cast a spell on my daughter. If I betray him, the first one to die would be my daughter!"
Hearing this, Ye Fei slowly withdrew his foot.
Wang Xingde took the opportunity to get up and kneel, weeping bitterly, "I, Wang Xingde, took a wrong step and fell into an abyss of no return, but my daughter is innocent. As a father, I cannot just watch her die!"
"Mr. Ye, you can kill me, but, but I really can’t tell you what you want to know! Please understand."
Wang Xingde bowed his head, his cries even more helpless and heartrending.
Seeing this, Ye Fei laughed.
But his laugh was very discreet.
At least Wang Xingde did not notice.
According to the information gathered by Wang Jianglong’s informant, Wang Xingde did have a daughter before, but she died several years ago in an accident.
And now, Wang Xingde claimed his daughter was still alive, obviously.
He’s lying!
But why would he lie?
Just to save his own life?
Not necessarily.
Ye Fei couldn’t figure it out for the moment.
However, he was quite intrigued and wanted to see what kind of trick this old fox was playing.
So he deliberately acted as if he was somewhat softened by Wang Xingde’s plea.
"Since that’s the case, take me to your daughter now."
Wang Xingde looked up, "Ah? You, what do you want with my daughter? Mr. Ye, just kill me instead, please don’t force a confession from my daughter. She’s innocent; she doesn’t know anything!"
Ye Fei said urgently, "When did I say I was going to force a confession from your daughter? I’m going to remove the curse from her."
Wang Xingde’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Right! Mr. Ye, you are the Divine Doctor! How could I have forgotten that!"
Wang Xingde kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Ye, for your great mercy in saving my daughter! As long as you can remove the curse from her, I will tell you everything, and I am willing to be your ox and horse in the next life!"
Wang Xingde’s appearance as a loving father willing to go through fire and water for his daughter was truly moving.
But in Ye Fei’s eyes, he was no different from a clown.
"Less nonsense, lead the way."
"Eh!"
Wang Xingde stood up and wiped his tears, unable to suppress the grin on his face.
The two of them drove to a villa in the suburbs of west city.
The place was rarely visited and very desolate. Aside from a village in the distance, there was only this villa half up the hillside, which stood out particularly.
Under the moonlight, the pale villa stood lonely in the deep mountains and forests, giving one a very chilling sensation.
"You, a top tycoon, live here?"
Ye Fei couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
Wang Xingde hurriedly explained, "Ah, this villa was bought especially for my daughter. Ever since she was cursed, her appearance and personality have changed; she’s become wayward and violent."
"She’s also very afraid of meeting strangers. I had no choice but to seclude her in this remote place, buying this villa just for her, as a way to protect her."
Ye Fei nodded, "So it seems you did put a lot of effort into this."
"Yes, that’s right. Mr. Ye, please."
Entering the villa, the chilling sensation became even clearer.
Gusts of cold wind hit from all around, as if countless souls were whispering their grievances right beside one’s ear.
Even someone as strong as Ye Fei couldn’t help but feel a shiver down his spine.
Passing through the courtyard.
With a series of ear-piercing creaks, the villa’s main door opened.
An old and a young servant came out to welcome them.
It’s unclear if it was due to the environment or something else.
Ye Fei felt even these two servants looked peculiar.
"It seems there’s indeed much to uncover in this villa," Ye Fei thought to himself.
"Master, the young miss is resting in the second-floor room."
"Hmm, you two go on with your work. Mr. Ye, please follow me."
Following Wang Xingde, Ye Fei continued to the second floor.
At the end of the narrow corridor, the door to a bedroom was open with a faint light shining from inside.
"Mr. Ye, my daughter is in that bedroom. Please."
Ye Fei walked slowly to the door.
But he was shocked to find that the little girl was standing right in front of him!
Suddenly, the light in the room went out.
In the moonlight, what Ye Fei saw was a face that was incredibly terrifying.
