Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

One o'clock in the morning.

Wang Feng opened his eyes, tiptoed out of bed, put on his clothes, went to the living room, put on a black hood, opened the door, and walked out of the room.

He climbed over the wall to leave No. 95 courtyard, took out his bicycle, and headed towards the abandoned courtyard in Mao'er Hutong.

In just a few minutes, Wang Feng arrived at the entrance of the abandoned courtyard in Mao'er Hutong. He used his spiritual sense to explore the courtyard and found that only Tiger was there. At his feet were two boys who were tied up. Wang Feng knew without asking that these were the people he was looking for.

The two boys were unconscious, their mouths were stuffed with a tattered rag, and they were wearing black hoods. At Tiger's feet was a whip. It has to be said that Tiger was quite steady in his work.

As Wang Feng entered the abandoned courtyard, Tiger greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Six, I've brought you the person you wanted."

Tiger was overjoyed today, easily acquiring two large yellow croakers – a truly unexpected delight.

Wang Feng stepped forward, and without saying a word, took two large yellow croakers from the bag and handed them to Tiger, saying:

"This is the final payment. I'm very satisfied with how you handled things this time. I'll come back to you next time I need something."

Tiger took the two large yellow croakers and said with a smile, "Hehe, no problem. As long as Brother Six needs me, just let me know. I guarantee I'll do whatever it takes to get things done for Brother Six."

Wang Feng nodded: "Leave this to me, you can go now."

"Alright, Sixth Brother, remember to call me if you ever need anything."

Tiger laughed and left the abandoned compound.

After Wang Feng used his spiritual sense to confirm that Tiger had left, he went to the two teenagers, removed their black hoods, and took the rags out of their mouths.

He picked up the whip from the ground and lashed it hard at one of the boys.

"what!"

Ma Qiang was jolted awake by the pain of a whip lash, letting out a scream. Before he could even take in his surroundings, another whip lashed down, waking Li Wei as well.

"what!"

Wang Feng didn't ask immediately. Asking directly would be a waste of time. He had interrogated so many people before, and not one of them was honest. If he didn't make them suffer a little, how could they possibly answer honestly?

"Clap clap clap".

Wang Feng wielded his long whip with impenetrable speed. With each lash, a shocking welt appeared on both of their bodies. Judging by the speed at which he whipped them, he was absolutely comparable to Liu Haizhong, who had been a professional whipper for twenty years.

"Aaaaaah!"

The two men screamed hysterically as they were whipped, but unfortunately, the area around this abandoned compound was also full of abandoned courtyards, and the people living nearby lived quite far away. This was why Tiger and his group chose this place as their trading location; no matter how loudly they screamed, no one would hear them.

"Big brother, big brother, stop hitting us! Stop hitting us! If you keep hitting us, we're going to die!" Ma Qiang cried out in terror.

Li Wei hurriedly shouted, "Brother, what did we do to offend you? We'll pay you back, please don't hit us anymore!"

Wang Feng stopped, coldly staring at the two teenagers, and shouted:

"Tell me, who ordered you to knock down the two women riding bicycles in Nanluoguxiang the day before yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them were instantly stunned, as if struck by lightning.

They never expected that someone would come knocking on their door so quickly. If they had known that the pregnant woman was someone important, they would never have dared to push her down.

They have now figured out what happened. This morning, someone lured them out with one yuan, then they were trapped in an alley and drugged.

How could this person be an ordinary person, given that they would mobilize such a large force to find them?

But can we admit to this? Absolutely not. If we admit it, it's all over.

The two exchanged a glance, and Ma Qiang, with a sincere expression, said:

"Brother, I had a conflict with Li Wei the day before yesterday. He covered me in mud, and I wanted to teach him a lesson, so I chased him down the street. I accidentally bumped into the bicycle. I've already apologized to them. I'm sorry, if they were injured, I'm willing to pay for their medical expenses."

"Yes, yes, brother, it was all our carelessness. We're willing to pay for the hospital fees," Li Wei quickly said.

Wang Feng sneered, "It seems you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin, and you won't give up until you're completely defeated. Fine, today I'll see whether your stubbornness is superior, or my methods are more sophisticated."

After saying that, Wang Feng quickly walked to the dilapidated room next door. When he came out, he was holding a burning coal briquette in his hand.

Amidst the horrified looks of the two men, Wang Feng pressed the coal briquette directly onto one of their stomachs.

"Aaaaaah! Ouch! I'll talk! I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!"

Li Wei screamed wildly in pain. The pain was unbearable; he would rather die than endure such torment.

Seeing Li Wei's miserable state, Ma Qiang broke out in a cold sweat. He completely collapsed and, before Li Wei could speak, he blurted out:

"Big brother, waaaah, don't burn me! I'll tell you everything!"

"We did take five yuan from someone before we pushed them down, brother, please let us go! We'll never do it again!"

These two are only thirteen or fourteen years old. Normally, they would be bolder than anyone else if asked to snatch candy from other children, but when they encounter a tough opponent, they would not dare to provoke them.

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng's eyes turned bloodshot, and his gaze instantly turned icy cold. He was right; this was not an accident after all, but rather someone maliciously plotting to harm his wife and children.

"Tell me, who exactly is this person?"

Wang Feng's voice was icy cold, and his expression of extreme anger terrified Ma Qiang and Li Wei. They were afraid that the coal ball would hit them again at any moment. Li Wei endured the excruciating pain and screamed in terror:

"Brother, I...I don't know, I really don't know. That person only gave us five yuan each. We only know what he looks like, where he lives, and what his name is. We really don't know! Please, please spare us!"

"have no idea?"

Wang Feng snorted coldly, picked up a coal ball, and, under the horrified gazes of the two men, pressed it into the stomach of another teenager.

"don't want!"

The coal briquettes sizzled and roasted on Ma Qiang's stomach, and soon his clothes were burned with a large hole.

"Ah! Ahhh! I really...don't know! Spare...me!"

Seeing this, Wang Feng picked up the coal briquette, his brows furrowing deeply.

Based on his experience interrogating so many people, these two weren't lying just now; it seems they genuinely didn't know who this person was.

"Waaaaah, I really didn't know! Please forgive me, please forgive me, I'll never do it again!"

Ma Qiang and Li Wei broke down in tears. How could they, as thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, bear such torment?
