Chapter 715

Red Star Rolling Mill

Security Section

Bursts of heart-wrenching screams made one's hair stand on end. Even Zhou Li Xiangyang, who was known for painstakingly studying the "Ten Great Tortures," couldn't help but swallow hard, looking with fear at Li Li Huaide, who was holding a file.

Li Li Huaide pressed the file against the bald man's thigh: "Are you going to talk or not!"

The bald man spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm at Li Li Huaide: "You corrupt official! Even if you beat me to death, I won't betray my brothers!"

"Ah ah ah!"

Li Li Huaide was annoyed and ashamed, and he thrust the file hard into the bald man's thigh.

By now, the bald man's thigh was covered in blood, and no one knew how many holes had been poked into it.

Thinking of how he had almost lost his life to these thugs, Li Li Huaide didn't even go home, personally participating in the interrogation, determined to deal harshly with these lawless thugs.

Cao Cao Weiguo brought a stack of window-pasting paper, and Li Dong followed behind with a basin of water.

"Leader, this guy's mouth is very hard. Let's try a new trick on him."

Li Li Huaide turned his head and asked: "What new trick?"

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "An old method called 'Sticking the Official.' Li Xiangyang, you're familiar with this; come and demonstrate it for the leader."

Zhou Li Xiangyang responded and signaled his colleagues to tie the bald man face-up on an iron frame, making it impossible for his body, hands, feet, or head to move.

Then, they soaked the window-pasting paper in the water basin, took it out, and pasted it onto the bald man's face one sheet at a time.

Layer after layer, the bald man struggled violently until he lost control of his bowels...

Cao Cao Weiguo: "Peel it off!"

"Huff, huff!"

Zhou Li Xiangyang peeled off the window-pasting paper, and the bald man gasped for air. The pain and fear of suffocation caused his spirit to collapse: "I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll say everything!"

Li Li Huaide laughed and clapped: "Good! Good! Cao Weiguo! Not only is your fighting skill excellent, but I didn't expect you to understand interrogation as well. You are truly a rare talent!"

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled kindly: "It is due to your wise leadership, Leader."

Li Li Huaide nodded: "Cao Weiguo, I trust your ability. These guys are bold, lawless, extremely cruel, and their behavior and thoughts are extremely reactionary. We must investigate them thoroughly and dig deep. We must not let a single person go, especially regarding Wu Wu Chuanzong. Make sure he confesses clearly; not a single word or sentence can be missed."

Cao Cao Weiguo took Li Li Huaide outside the room and secretly slipped him a note: "Leader, this is an address I got from Jin Jin Laoliu. Some of Wu Wu Chuanzong's personal items are hidden there. You suffered great mental trauma in this incident; these things can barely compensate for your mental losses."

Li Li Huaide's eyes lit up, and he patted Cao Cao Weiguo's shoulder with satisfaction: "Cao Weiguo is thoughtful. In this incident, you risked your life, feared no sacrifice, bravely captured the thugs, and exposed the crimes of the reactionary group. I will definitely request a merit for you from the higher-ups."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with excitement: "Thank you for your cultivation, Leader!"

Li Li Huaide nodded with a warm smile: "Alright, it's getting late. You go back and rest early; I will interrogate the rest."

Cao Cao Weiguo understood Li Li Huaide's intentions. These people were Wu Wu Chuanzong's die-hard followers and might know many secret pieces of information. Moreover, these people had been hanging around Wu Wu Chuanzong, so they surely had some savings.

Li Li Huaide not sleeping in the middle of the night and being so active in interrogating the thugs was actually because he wanted to scrape some oil and water from them. Cao Cao Weiguo knew this clearly, happily accepted the leader's concern, gave a few instructions to his subordinates, and rode his bike away from the Red Star Rolling Mill.

Late at night, Li Li Huaide sent Zhou Li Xiangyang, Li Dong, and others away, walked to the bald man with a file: "Zhao Jun, be sensible. I don't like seeing blood, but once I see it, I can't control myself. So you had better not force me to use force. Honestly tell me where Wu Wu Chuanzong and you hid your property. If you cooperate, I will try my best to give you some preferential treatment."

At this moment, the bald man with a face full of flesh was cowering like a little chick. The wound on his thigh was still bleeding, and his body emitted the smell of urine and feces... That pitiful appearance no longer had any of the fierce and vicious demeanor he once had.

Think of how he was once a figure in Jingcheng. Before liberation, he followed Wu Wu Chuanzong to eat and drink well, sleeping with women whenever he wanted, and the key was that he didn't even have to pay. On weekdays, when collecting debts, he would break people's limbs at every turn. Who didn't have to bow and scrape and call him "Fourth Master" when they saw him? How majestic that was! But now, his boss had been caught, and he had become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, trampled and tortured by others...

Tilting his head to look at Li Li Huaide, this man in a Zhongshan suit made him feel what human viciousness was, what it meant for a sheep to be greedy and a wolf to be cruel, what it meant to be a beast in human clothing, and what it meant to scrape bones and pull tendons...

His boss, Wu Wu Chuanzong, was a traitor and a bully, and he was a thug attached to Wu Wu Chuanzong, acting as a tiger's accomplice by his side. He had done all kinds of evil things and considered himself a bad person, a villain. But today, seeing Factory Director Li Li Huaide, he realized how naive and shallow he was.

A factory director managing a factory of ten thousand people, how bright and beautiful he was! But in this dim room, he was as fierce and full as a tiger, as greedy as a hawk swallowing its prey. His greed and viciousness made even him concede defeat.

Compared to this great factory director, he felt like a lamb under a wolf's claws.

The times had really changed!

Now it was the world of the red!

A new country, a new atmosphere!

Even a bully like him couldn't be a bully anymore!

Facing Li Li Huaide's threats and inducements, the bald man Zhao Jun, once a bully who ran rampant in the market, had to resign himself to fate and soften up. He spoke in a daze about the locations where he hid his money and also said some things related to Wu Wu Chuanzong.

Wu Wu Chuanzong was a descendant of the Eight Banners, his ancestors were glorious and prominent, and his family background was originally wealthy. Even after the Great Qing fell, he relied on his family fortune to gather a group of thugs, engaging in forced buying and selling in Jingcheng, opening casinos and brothels, doing whatever made money fast. Later, when the Japanese arrived, he secretly flattered them, colluding with them, and committed countless acts of destroying families and homes. He even grabbed innocent girls into brothels... frantically plundering wealth.

And as a thug raised by Wu Wu Chuanzong, a henchman acting as a tiger's accomplice, he naturally contributed a lot. The bad and evil things he participated in could fill a book. Also because he contributed a lot and was ruthless enough, Wu Wu Chuanzong trusted him extra, entrusted him with many secret things, and let him know many private matters about Wu Wu Chuanzong.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. A traitor like Wu Wu Chuanzong was naturally very cunning, and he had prepared several hiding places long before liberation.

Even after Wu Wu Chuanzong was caught and his old house was raided, he confessed to several places where he hid property, but in fact, these were just the tip of the iceberg.

According to the bald man, Wu Wu Chuanzong had five or six mistresses, a dozen illegitimate children, and three sworn brothers. Their homes might all have hidden property.

After hearing this, Li Li Huaide felt a burning sensation in his heart. He immediately sent people to call his confidants, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind to launch a search operation, determined to eradicate the reactionary personnel surrounding the great traitor Wu Wu Chuanzong and thoroughly eliminate this malignant tumor that harmed the people and the society...
