Chapter 216
Chapter 216: When you tell a demon, “I’ll give you one thousand years of life and long life,” who are you cursing?
Jiang Tea Tea received notice that her mission was being pushed back by two hours, and in the middle a new task was shoved in for her to go beat up Wolf Yin Feng. She asked in confusion: “When you say beat him within an inch of his life, do you mean that as soon as I see him, I should literally beat him to death?”
The leader in charge of their mission paused for a moment, then answered her: “You should beat him but leave him with one breath. As long as he can still be rescued, it is fine.”
In the interstellar era, the healing field had developed at high speed. As long as there was one breath left, no matter how many organs in the body were damaged or necrotic, you could put in a few artificial ones and pull someone back.
For the crimes Wolf Yin Feng had committed and the number of people involved, there were too many and the reach was too wide. Killing him with a single punch would be too cheap for him. People like him needed to be cut a thousand times and slowly tortured until they wished they were dead; only then was it barely enough.
Jiang Tea Tea asked again: “You want only me to go beat him? I can’t bring my teammates along to beat him with me?”
Sui Xuan Chu and the others nodded again and again: “Yeah, yeah, Leader, Wolf Yin Feng was captured by us on a mission. For something like beating him up, we should all get a share, right?”
They added: “Letting our captain do it alone, what if she hurts her hand from hitting him? We are her hitters, we can help with the beating.”
One of them chimed in: “We guys have thick skin and tough flesh, we will not yell that it hurts when we hit someone. Leader, let us all go beat him. We promise we will finish the task and still leave him with one breath.”
The leader swept his gaze over the few of them, did not answer them, and instead replied to Jiang Tea Tea: “Those above did not say you cannot bring people. For now you go first. If you need support later, I will send them in to cooperate with you.”
Jiang Tea Tea nodded to show she understood.
Sui Xuan Chu, Huang Da Zhuang, and the others really wanted to go fight with her.
Their small spaceship landed inside the grounds of the Judicial Department.
Jiang Tea Tea and the others followed the leader down from the ship.
Jiang Tea Tea was taken into an interrogation room in the Judicial Department.
The rest stayed outside with the leader to wait for her.
In just one short month, there was no sign of vigor left in Wolf Yin Feng. There were only old wrinkles and a dried-out body that had almost shrunk into a stick.
His hands were cuffed, and his feet were shackled to the chair. When Wolf Yin Feng saw Jiang Tea Tea walk in, his cloudy, gloomy eyes fixed on her, and his voice, hoarse as if he had swallowed burning coals, rasped out: “You are here, my daughter.”
Jiang Tea Tea sat down across from him, with a table between them and no other protection.
She met his muddy eyes and reminded him: “I am not your daughter. None of your dozen or so children are actually your children.”
Wolf Yin Feng laughed, like an evil ghost crawling out of the dark, laughing as if he had caught a scapegoat to go to hell in his place.
He said: “Who says you are not my children? You were not born from my body, but you were born in my hands. You came into this world because of me. How are you not my children? You are my children.”
He said: “I am your closest father. How can you let your own father sit in this lightless interrogation room, be interrogated and be tortured by others?”
Jiang Tea Tea leaned back in the chair, folded her arms over her chest, and crossed one leg over the other: “So you bargained with the Judicial Department, racked your brains to get them to call me over, because you want me to save you and get you out?”
Wolf Yin Feng asked back: “You are my only pure human daughter, and you are the most capable daughter I have. Shouldn’t you save me?”
Jiang Tea Tea really thought about it for a moment: “You make a good point, but my hands are empty. What could I use to save you?”
Wolf Yin Feng leaned his body forward, but his handcuffed hands fixed to the chair only let him lean a little: “Cha Cha, your hands are not empty. You are a 3S-level variant plant-type ability user.”
He said: “In all the interstellar world, there is only one of you. Your preciousness and rarity cannot be replaced. If you go to Chong Ming, the Commander in Chief, and ask him to release me, he will definitely agree.”
“If he does not agree, you can threaten him with your own death. I believe that a beastman with a supernatural ability level as high as his, in order not to suffer from the restlessness of that ability and the rampage of his Spiritual Sea, will definitely agree to spare me and pardon my death sentence.”
He was really daydreaming in broad daylight.
[Threaten Chong Ming with my death? Who does he think he is, that I would use my life for him?]
Jiang Tea Tea arched her brows and asked casually: “Even if he agreed to let you go, your Hope Institute laboratory has already been destroyed, and your collaborator Li Ao has already been executed.”
She went on: “Tell me, after you leave this interrogation room, how are you supposed to live? Do you want me to support you? Or have those other dozen children support you? Do you think that is possible?”
As for those other dozen children, they wished they could drink his blood and eat his flesh. Just seeing him made them so disgusted they wanted to throw up and set off a stress reaction. How could they ever spend money to support him?
Wolf Yin Feng heard her question and thought she was starting to soften. He quickly stated his position: “I do not need you to support me, and I do not need anyone else to support me. As long as I get my freedom, I can support myself.”
Jiang Tea Tea said lazily: “Support yourself? What are you going to live on? You can never go back to the White Wolf Tribe. The accounts under your name and the accounts of your relatives and friends have all been frozen.”
She added: “As long as there is a single cent in those accounts that cannot be clearly explained or traced, all the money in your accounts will belong to the nation, and the accounts will never be unfrozen.”
She clicked her tongue softly: “Oh, I get it. You have other assets that have not been found yet and are still hidden by you.”
Wolf Yin Feng neither denied nor admitted it. He only said: “You just have to get me out. You do not need to worry about anything else.”
The personnel of the Judicial Department standing outside the interrogation room quickly followed up on what Wolf Yin Feng had just said and started to sort through and check again for any other possible accounts and assets he might have.
Jiang Tea Tea let out a sigh: “Wolf Yin Feng, do you even know what crimes you have committed, yet you want me to get you out?”
She said: “Fine, suppose I really had the ability to go beg Commander in Chief Chong Ming to get you out and spare your life. What benefits would I get out of it?”
“You should know how much Commander in Chief Chong Ming values me. Whatever I want, I can have. And I should take risks and owe someone a favor for you…”
“Come here.” Wolf Yin Feng strained to stretch his neck and lean forward, wanting to cross the table to get close and whisper into Jiang Tea Tea’s ear, but he could not reach. He could only lower his voice with a hint of temptation: “Come closer to me, and I will tell you what kind of benefit you will get.”
Jiang Tea Tea narrowed her eyes, put down her crossed leg, and got ready to stand up and walk toward him. In her earpiece came Chong Ming’s voice: “Be careful. Do not let yourself get hurt.”
Jiang Tea Tea walked around the table and came to Wolf Yin Feng’s side. One hand braced on the table, the other on his chair, she bent down and leaned toward him: “Go on. If I save you, what benefit can I get? You only have this one chance. If you miss it, it is gone.”
Wolf Yin Feng lifted his eyes: “There is a surveillance system.”
Jiang Tea Tea clicked her tongue: “Say it to my face. The surveillance system cannot see your mouth with me blocking you. Are you going to talk or not? If you do not, I am leaving.”
Wolf Yin Feng lowered his head, letting Jiang Tea Tea cover him even more, and said to her: “Immortality. As long as you get me out, I will give you the genetic code for immortality and let you live for thousands of years.”
