a room of about twenty square meters, a table and three chairs being the only furnishings within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, there were no human rights; drinking water and eating were timed and rationed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating was manageable, but how could drinking water be timed and rationed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, thanks to special training, temporary lack of water wouldn’t cause too much hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang sat quietly, eyes closed, resting his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering, he had been bombarded for sixteen hours straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t broken yet, but the shift workers had given in before him; he guessed they were currently meeting with Duke Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no bed around, this was the only way he could rest and gather strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guarding outside were two men in their twenties, one fat and one thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder when we’ll get to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I get itchy hands just looking at him,” the thin man said, barely able to hide his eagerness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man dragged the eager thin man to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just sit tight and stay out of trouble,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Him…” the thin man muttered disdainfully toward the room, his face full of contempt, “he’s come down to this; what more trouble can there be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think, perhaps if he dies, that’ll be our great achievement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh!” The fat man sighed and ignored him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thin man nudged the fat man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, you feel sorry for him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that I feel sorry for him; I just hope that this matter gets settled soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve seen a lot in these past few years, Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should understand what I mean.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thin man fell silent instantly; indeed, from the moment he was assigned here, he had been immersed in the joy of being trusted and hadn’t really thought about this issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Zhou family managed to turn the situation around, even as minor soldiers, they would face calamity along with the Xiao family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by then, it was already too late for regrets…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thinking of the young and old at home, we need to consider more,” the fat man added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall we give him some water to drink?” the thin man suggested, wanting to make amends for his behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Better not; if someone comes upon us, we can’t explain it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should just do our job by the book; no matter what happens, we still have a way out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re sharper…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices of the two men whispering outside did not fail to reach Zhou Mikang’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mocking smile appeared on his expressionless face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fools, do they not think about why the Zhou family would accept their fate without any action?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they really believe they were utterly powerless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, a tinge of sadness surged in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the day, the Zhou family was merely a pawn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands clenched tightly…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaking outside abruptly ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can leave now; we’ll take over from here,” a rather honest male voice entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang’s expression faltered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the outcome been decided?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previous interrogation officers or those left guarding the door were merely peripheral members of the Xiao family; such an arrangement indicated that the family the Xiao family relied on had not yet achieved an absolute victory, otherwise, the Xiao family wouldn’t hesitate to deal harshly with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how skilled he was, it wouldn’t be difficult for the Xiao family to take his life at this moment, crippling him would be even easier…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xiao Yuwen’s petty nature, having finally gotten the upper hand, he wouldn’t waste it to the utmost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something indeed went wrong…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a split second, a touch of agony swept through his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only he hadn’t married her, whether or not they were truly husband and wife, to outsiders, they were indeed a married couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key points were that Elder Wan and Old Master Jing could protect her for a while, but not for a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xiao Yuwen’s vengeful nature, even if it took ten years, he wouldn’t forget the humiliation endued that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only she had married someone who could truly protect her, otherwise…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang dared not continue the thought, his heart filled with immense regret, while feeling indescribably towards the elder who was on the same side as his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the elder had revealed the truth to them earlier, would it have come to this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family lineage had been in the military for generations, not adept at cunning and deceit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Zhou Mikang had believed this to be the Zhou family’s pride; now, he truly felt it was the Zhou family’s shortcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While lost in thought, the quarreling outside settled, and the door was gently pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang concealed all his emotions, gazing indifferently as a robust man in his thirties entered—a crew cut, arched eyebrows, fierce eyes, and a straight nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Mikang examining him, he smiled warmly, “Hello, I’m Wang Quan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang nodded at him, remaining silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering, the man looked around and slightly furrowed his brows before stepping out and returning with a warm pot, pouring Zhou Mikang a cup of water and softly sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Colonel Zhou, I regret the inconvenience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” Zhou Mikang voiced his thanks, sipped a little from the teacup, then placed it back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Colonel Zhou, drink a bit more…” Wang Quan paused, then added, “We are Old Master Dang’s men.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang’s expression sharpened; deep down, he greatly admired Old Master Dang, even beyond Elder Huang, who was allied with his own family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, changing allegiances was strictly taboo; even if he admired him, he couldn’t show it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Wan has interceded on his behalf,” Wang Quan continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gratitude welled up in Zhou Mikang’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will remember that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your father’s side has also switched to our people, rest assured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Zhou Mikang’s expression truly relaxed, and he also understood that after this battle, some things might need to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was quite looking forward to this change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the door, let me in.” Xiao Yuwen’s voice came from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, you can’t come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why can’t I come in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know who I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, you are Director Xiao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then hurry up and let me in, are you blind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Quan frowned and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go out and see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he insists on coming in, let him in,” Zhou Mikang said as he flexed his wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can still handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Wang Quan’s mouth twitched, and he turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Xiao Yuwen was struggling with another colleague of Wang Quan’s, Fang Shengguo, “…What are you doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebellion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare you pull at me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really need this job…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shengguo, let him go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shengguo immediately let go, and Xiao Yuwen, unprepared, staggered back several steps before steady himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry up and say it!” Xiao Yuwen, furious, his face turning bluish, thought that if his current image weren’t so compromising, he definitely would have brought several people with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mused that by having fewer people see, he’d save face, yet he encountered such an undiscerning fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fang Shengguo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuwen pointed at him fiercely, “Good, good, good, I’ll remember you, Fang Shengguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don’t make you go back home to cultivate sorghum, then I’m not Xiao Yuwen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t grow sorghum in my hometown.” Fang Shengguo impassively replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You still want to go back home?” Xiao Yuwen glanced at him, “Go dream your big dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don’t send you to a place where even rabbits can’t poo, I’d be letting you off too easy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comrade, if you continue to make an unreasonable fuss, don’t blame us for being inhospitable,” Wang Quan sternly stared at Xiao Yuwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dressed like this, what are you planning to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dressed like this?” Triggered by Wang Quan’s comment, Xiao Yuwen felt his blood boil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he want to dress like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve all become rebels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry up and open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make Zhou Mikang look just like me, the little bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don’t make him turn out like this, may my name, Xiao, be written backwards!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sure you want to go in?” Wang Quan asked seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop talking nonsense!” Xiao Yuwen glared at him irritably, “What’s your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Quan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, the two of you, go grow sorghum together later!” Xiao Yuwen said, pushing the door open forcefully and then slamming it shut, leaving Fang Shengguo and Wang Quan locked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is everything okay?” Fang Shengguo asked with some concern, pointing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Quan shook his head: “Don’t worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He hasn’t eaten or slept well in the last couple of days, can he really handle it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did you start nagging so much?” Wang Quan’s mouth curved up, “If someone insists on getting beaten up, it’d be wrong to stop them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True.” Fang Shengguo smiled, nodded, and comfortably sat back down behind the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xiao Yuwen entered, he pulled a chain whip from behind his back and, glancing at Zhou Mikang, who sat there quietly watching him, charged without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So eager to get beaten up, he’d be sorry not to oblige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yuwen was really considerate to bring a tool knowing his hands would hurt, truly a good comrade…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouch!…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop hitting!…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah!…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oww!…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the screams emanating from the room, Fang Shengguo gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That one must be strong; after such a torment, he still managed to beat Xiao Yuwen into this state…it sounded painfully intense…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Yuwen collapse weakly on the floor, out of moving energy, Zhou Mikang finally put down his whip, gasping for breath and squatting in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he suddenly noticed Xiao Yuwen’s missing teeth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, he touched the back of his head and glanced at the whip lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang himself was baffled—could his whip technique have become so fierce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly remembering Xiao Yuwen’s swollen face when he entered, he kicked him lightly with his toe, “Who knocked your teeth out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yingze.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yingze?” Zhou Mikang tried to remember, feeling sure he didn’t know such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Xiao Yuwen had quite a few enemies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Xiao Yuwen emphasized again, “It’s Jing Jie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Jie?” Looking at Xiao Yuwen’s toothless mouth, Zhou Mikang suddenly understood—he couldn’t speak properly without teeth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean Jing Zhe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Xiao Yuwen glared at Zhou Mikang, “Mark my words, all the pain I’ve suffered, you will too.” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy this story, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (qidian.com) and support
