Hidden moth

Chapter 50 Heroes
Zhao Zhenzhen took two steps back with the flashlight in hand, not saying a word, and ignored He Kao's reaction. A stranger walked in from outside, came close, and slapped him in the face.

The slap was heavy, and He Kao subconsciously tried to dodge it, so the slap landed slightly off-center, hitting his temple, just above his earlobe. He Kao's head started buzzing, and he saw stars, instantly losing his supposed supersensory perception.

He Kao was stunned for two seconds, then began to struggle again: "Who are you... What do you want to do? Do you want money? I can give it to you..."

The man slapped him again, and because He Kao was moving, the back of his hand hit him between the cheekbone and the root of his nose. He Kao felt a burning pain, and his right nostril felt hot, and a line of blood flowed out.

"Stop shouting, don't move! I'm asking you a question, be quiet!" The man came up and slapped her twice. In this eerie and terrifying scene, he looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

He Kao really didn't dare to move. He said in a hoarse voice with tears in his eyes, "What are you asking? Ask me."

Zhao Huanzhen finally spoke up: "Xiao Tao, don't be so reckless. Why did you just start fighting right away? What He Kao said makes sense. If you don't ask, what's the point of expecting people to answer?"

He Kao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, what do you want to know? I'll tell you..."

The man named Xiaotao raised one foot and stepped lightly on He Kao's lower abdomen. He leaned forward, brought his stocking-clad face closer, and said, "Do you know the meaning of Yin Mo? Yin means hidden, and Moth means moth!"

He Kao was startled for a moment, then said, "I know, I know. Are you guys here to ask this too?"

Xiao Tao's voice immediately rose, and he pressed on, "How did you know? Has anyone else asked?"

He Kao: "It was a man named Wu Yan, calling himself Xiao Wu. He came to me and told me a lot of strange things... Then there was Lao Qian from our unit. He asked me to meet someone, an older woman named Lin..."

The people on the opposite side were all sorcerers, five at the third level and six at the second level. Although it was unclear which schools of magic they came from, He Kao knew that these people's methods were not simple.

He Kao had also heard from Lao Qian that it was difficult for ordinary people to lie in front of him, a third-level strategist. Although he could not directly distinguish the truth from falsehood of what was said, he could tell whether the other party wanted to deceive him.

He Kao was shocked at the time and asked if it was "very difficult" or "impossible" to lie. Lao Qian replied that it was only very difficult and that he used the Qi-reading technique to discern other people's attitudes towards him, making an indirect judgment.

It is almost impossible to distinguish the true from the false in this world. Even a sixth-level master cannot do it. After all, humans are not gods.

So what He Kao said at this moment was true, and the emotions he expressed were also real. At this moment, he was of course filled with tension and fear, and fell into a panic that was almost desperate.

Wu Yanjun came to see him, and there was nothing that could not be said. Xiao Wu said some things that he might not have said, so there was no need to relay them on his behalf.

Qian Guran asked him to meet Lin Qingshuang, introduced many things about the Shumen, and also talked about a series of events surrounding He Kao recently. There was nothing that could not be explained in this matter, and those who were secretly watching him might know it.

He Kao had not only heard rumors about the Hidden E, but also knew that his father was most likely a Hidden E. He even told his interrogator that he had once wanted to learn magic from Lin Qingshuang, but was rejected.

There were just a few things he skipped over, as the other party hadn't asked anyway and they had nothing to do with the hidden moth.

For example, he had tinkered with a set of "secret techniques" and was currently practicing them. Lin Qingshuang not only made annotations, but also sent someone to deliver a few bottles of elixirs and asked Lao Qian to pass them on to him... There was no need to specifically mention these.

Time is limited, so it is impossible to repeat it in such detail.

Xiao Tao put more force on his feet: "Since you know the secret of the magic, you should know who we are. We have all kinds of methods you can't even imagine, and you can verify the truth... If you told a lie just now, I would have crushed your balls!"

He Kao was in great pain from being stepped on, and struggled, saying, "I didn't tell a single lie, it was all true!"

Zhao Zhenzhen coughed again and said, "Put your feet down and ask nicely."

"I'm helping him improve his memory!" Xiao Tao said this, but he still put his right foot down, picked up the four pendants on the table, put them under the light and asked, "Do these pendants look familiar to you?"

He Kao: "Looks familiar... Why do you have so many?"

Xiao Tao: "These are all fake. The first one you brought was real. It was stolen by Qian, of course. And you just said that Lin Qingshuang borrowed it again?"

He Kao: "It's not a loan, it's a lease. Sister Lin gave me a two million deposit and agreed to pay me back in three months at the shortest and six months at the longest..."

He did not hide the peculiarity of the beast claw pendant. He couldn't see it himself anyway. Qian Guran and Lin Qingshuang told him about it.

Although the claw wasn't from the Hidden Moth, it had such a wonderful use, surprising everyone present. But on second thought, it wasn't impossible. Zhou Du was the Hidden Moth back then, so it was certainly possible for him to get his hands on such a valuable item.

Zhao Huanzhen interrupted and asked, "The one you wore since childhood was lent to Mr. Lin, and the one Xiaowu's junior sister made is still on yours. What about the other two? One was returned by Xiaowu, as you just mentioned."

There is another one, which was given to you by that mysterious person on the day you called the police. You just mentioned this incident. Where is it now?"

He Kao: "I put it in a bank safe deposit box."

Xiao Tao continued to ask: "Which bank's safe deposit box?"

He Kao: "China Construction Bank, just deposited it on the first of this month."

Xiao Tao: "You knew they were fake, so why did you put those two useless pieces of junk in the safe?"

He Kao: "Before the holidays, the bank called to say a safe deposit box my father left behind 20 years ago had expired. I went through a lot of paperwork and finally managed to retrieve the contents: a pair of pure gold paperweights and a property deed.

I didn't know where to put the pair of pure gold paperweights, so I rented a safe deposit box and put them there, and put those two things in there too. "Xiao Tao: "We know about this too. What else did you get in the safe deposit box?"

He Kao: "Just a pair of gold paperweights and a house deed, nothing else."

Xiao Tao kicked him again, causing pain in his ribs. "Think about it again. Do you want me to help you recall it?"

He Kao: "There's really nothing else."

Xiao Tao waved his hand and slapped him again: "You are lying!"

The slap was so strong that He Kao felt his left cheek swell up. He mumbled, "There's really nothing else."

Xiao Tao: "Don't you have any materials?"

When he asked what was in the safe just now, He Kao was very surprised. He thought these people were coming for Yin E, and that was actually the case, but why did it seem to be related to Gu Yunteng again?

When Xiaotao slapped him and mentioned the material again, He Kao was actually mentally prepared. He was still very scared, but not that surprised.

He Kao: "There's no material."

Xiao Tao: "Now that I've said it, I already understand the situation. It's useless for you to lie. If you say another word of nonsense, you will lose your life!"

As he spoke, Xiao Tao put his foot between He Kao's legs again and began to slowly apply force. He Kao finally cried out, "If you say yes, then yes!"

Xiaotao: "What material?"

He Kao: "Brother, whatever material you say it is, that's it."

It was Zhao Zhenzhen who dissuaded him again, "Don't bother with him yet. If you keep asking, it will be difficult to ask if he's dead."

Xiao Tao retracted his foot again and asked, "Has anyone else seen anything in the safe?"

He Kao: "Lao Qian, the Lao Qian I just mentioned is also the Vice President Qian who was just promoted by our company."

He Kao didn't want to answer this question unless he had to.

But since these people had been able to abduct him without anyone noticing, they clearly had a handle on his whereabouts. So, the fact that Lao Qian had met him at the bank entrance couldn't be concealed either, so he might as well tell the truth.

He Kao didn't hear the conversation between Zhao Huanzhen and others in the corridor just now, so he didn't know at the moment that Qian Guran and Huang Xiaopang had discovered that he was missing and were looking for him separately.

Lao Qian has found an accomplice of Zhao Huanzhen's gang, and asked him whether he was the one who kidnapped He Kao and Gao Xue'e, and asked him to release them.

But the other party did not admit it. Lao Qian had already left, and Zhao Huanzhen and others just heard the news.

Xiao Tao picked up the white ball on the table again, held it under the light and asked, "Where did this Pei Yuan Dan come from?"

He Kao: "It was also given to me by Lao Qian. He also said that he was very embarrassed about the substitution and apologized to me specially."

Xiao Tao snorted: "You didn't even ask what Pei Yuan Dan is, it seems you know it."

He Kao: "When Lao Qian gave it to me, he told me what it was. I haven't had the chance to eat it yet."

At this time, Zhao Huanzhen finally waved his hand and said, "That woman will soon wake up. Let's ask her later. Let's take a break first and go out for a cigarette!"

They both walked out and closed the door, and the room fell into silent darkness again.

He Kao was deeply impressed by the heroes he had read about in books, who had stood firm under torture. Today's scene was far from that, but if it were an ordinary person, they would probably confess everything as soon as they opened their mouths.

Spiritual will is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is real. There is a world of difference between people!
He Kao is not a hero, he is just an ordinary worker in a large Internet company. However, he knows very well that he must never tell the other party the answer they want to know, and he cannot even let the other party realize that he knows the answer.

If He Kao didn't tell anyone, he and Gao Xue'e still had a chance of survival. If he told anyone, not only would he and Gao Xue'e die, but Xiaopang would also suffer.

Now he can only place his hopes on Lao Qian and Xiaopang. One is a third-level strategist who understands the methods of these sorcerers, and the other is Yin Mo, who is said to have unpredictable powers.

He Kao did not put the hood back on, but he still could not see anything. The kicks and slaps he received made it difficult for him to concentrate for a while. The injuries were not serious, but it was very uncomfortable. What was even more unbearable was the fear of being on the verge of collapse.

Especially the two kicks on his lower body made him sweat all over. At this moment, he felt that the bullet should still be intact, but the gun might have some hematoma and bruises.

He Kao closed his eyes, slowly adjusted his breathing and sitting posture, and tried his best to concentrate and regain his senses. Through the interrogation scene just now, he actually already knew where this place was.
