Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Significant Findings_1
Wang Xingde had no idea that Ye Fei had become immune to all poisons.
Let alone the Flower Core Gu, even Gu poison dozens of times fiercer would hardly harm him.
"Shouldn’t have, you say? Well, that just means you don’t know me at all."
With one arm, Ye Fei held Wang Xingde suspended in mid-air, his eyes exuding waves of killing intent.
"Spare me! Spare my life! Mr. Ye, I truly realize my mistake now; I won’t dare to scheme against you anymore. Please, spare me this dog’s life!"
"I’ll tell you everything I know, everything! I barely even see Dikun Venerable; he deigns to meet with me just once a month."
"Before each meeting, he sends the location in code form through a letter to my mailbox. During the meeting, we are separated by several barriers; I’ve never seen his real face!"
"And it was his idea to target you, I never wanted to be your enemy. But I had to follow orders! I have my own difficulties!"
"Mr. Ye, grandpa, ancestor! I really told you everything I know. Please, just let me go! I don’t want to die yet!"
Ye Fei’s gaze remained icy cold, "Did you really confess everything?"
"Tru-, truly!"
"Then where have all the abducted children gone?"
As soon as Ye Fei applied a little force, Wang Xingde couldn’t endure it.
"I’ll, I’ll tell! They were all taken away by the Diku Venerable. As for where they were taken, I really don’t know!"
"Daddy, mommy..."
Qiaoqiao’s sleep talk interrupted Ye Fei’s interrogation.
After immobilizing Wang Xingde’s pressure points, Ye Fei threw him to the ground and turned back to check on Qiaoqiao.
Upon prying open her eyelids and taking a closer look,
Ye Fei indeed spotted several extremely tiny nematodes swimming in Qiaoqiao’s eyes.
The Soul-Stealing Gu was extremely good at hiding, which is why it momentarily escaped Ye Fei’s notice.
Qiaoqiao was deeply affected by the Gu and needed immediate purging.
Otherwise, a delay of even a moment could completely drain Qiaoqiao’s soul.
Even if she were saved, she would only be a vegetative shell left.
Hurriedly, Ye Fei once again gathered his True Qi and began treatment.
After more than an hour of emergency care, the Gu was finally completely eradicated, and Qiaoqiao barely regained some vitality.
"Uncle!"
Qiaoqiao threw herself into Ye Fei’s arms, sobbing.
Although she was under the control of the Soul-Stealing Gu, Qiaoqiao was still conscious.
So she remembered everything that had just happened.
She knew that this handsome uncle in front of her had come to rescue her.
Therefore, she felt especially close to Ye Fei and extremely safe.
"Whoo-whoo-whoo, Uncle, Qiaoqiao misses daddy and mommy. Can you take Qiaoqiao to see them?"
Amidst her crying, she turned her head and warily glanced at Wang Xingde.
"This uncle is a liar, there’s no daddy and mommy here, it’s full of bad people, so scary, Qiaoqiao doesn’t want to stay here anymore."
Gently stroking her head, Ye Fei tenderly comforted her, "Okay, okay, don’t worry, Qiaoqiao. Uncle will take you to find daddy and mommy, alright?"
"Yes! Thank you, Uncle, long live Uncle! Oh, I can finally see daddy and mommy! I’m so happy!"
The little girl danced with excitement.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and cocked her head, "Oh right, Uncle, Jingjing also misses her daddy and mommy, she wants to go home too. Can you take her as well?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei was taken aback.
Jingjing?
Could it be that there were other children here?
The murderous look returned to Ye Fei’s eyes, settling on Wang Xingde.
Wang Xingde denied repeatedly, "No no no! Mr. Ye, I told you just now, the other girls have all been taken away by the Diku Venerable, Jingjing included; now there’s only Qiaoqiao left."
"You’re lying!"
Qiaoqiao countered, biting her lip.
"Jingjing played with me yesterday, I saw with my own eyes, you took her to the haunted house!"
"You, you, you! Don’t talk nonsense, you little child! You’re mistaken! It wasn’t yesterday, I..."
While Wang Xingde was making excuses, a flick of Ye Fei’s finger sealed his speech.
"Qiaoqiao, do you know where the haunted house is?"
"Yes, Chicken Path!"
"Would you like to lead Uncle there?"
Qiaoqiao looked fearful and lowered her head.
"Uncle, I’m, I’m scared."
Ye Fei was feeling more and more that this haunted house was significant.
He gently encouraged her, "Isn’t Qiaoqiao the bravest girl in the world? Qiaoqiao wants to take Jingjing with her to find daddy and mommy, right? But Jingjing is trapped in the haunted house, so Qiaoqiao needs to go with Uncle to rescue her, right?"
With those words, Qiaoqiao immediately mustered her courage, her little fist clenched, "Yes! Uncle is right! Qiaoqiao will take you there now!"
"Let’s go."
Ye Fei carried the girl in one arm and lifted Wang Xingde like a dog with the other, walking out of the room.
By now, Wang Xingde’s face was the color of earth.
Following the girl’s directions, Ye Fei arrived at a withered forest in the backyard of the villa.
Under one of the withered trees there, they found an entrance to a cellar.
Ye Fei kicked the door open and stepped inside.
The cellar was brightly lit, made entirely of steel-reinforced concrete, incredibly solid.
Down the narrow corridor, all that could be seen were empty cells.
After making several turns, Ye Fei was stopped by an iron door.
Standing in front of the door, he could feel waves of bone-chilling wind seeping from the other side.
Before even opening the door, Ye Fei already had a terrible feeling.
Taking a deep breath, he kicked the door with all his might, shattering it as if it were made of paper.
Despite preparing himself mentally,
the moment he saw the scene inside the stone chamber,
Ye Fei involuntarily gasped, feeling instantly unwell.
