Chapter 11 Are You Sure You're Telling the Truth?
Seeing Li Qianfan unwilling to relent, Wu Lang's face turned extremely unpleasant, and his eyes grew gloomy.
Even though Li Qianfan was a martial artist, Wu Lang wasn't overly concerned. He believed that even if the opponent had great skills, a single bullet could still end his life.
However, he had not yet obtained the Gang Edict, and to lay a hand on Li Qianfan now might jeopardize his plan.
For the sake of the plan's success, Wu Lang was prepared to swallow his pride. With this in mind, he gave Li Qianfan a slight smile and said, "Qianfan, I'm thinking there might be some misunderstanding here. Let's not get too excited. Let's thoroughly investigate this matter. If we find the culprit, I won't show any mercy."
Heh heh…
Li Qianfan couldn't help but sneer inwardly, knowing Heaven and Earth was Wu Lang's territory, and moreover, Meng Lin was the manager. Suddenly someone had drugged her; he didn't believe Wu Lang knew nothing about it.
Keep pretending then?
Nevertheless, Li Qianfan wasn't in a hurry. He looked meaningfully at Wu Lang and said, "Alright, since you've said so, let's start the investigation. If I remember correctly, it was these three individuals who were lurking at my room's door…"
At that point, Li Qianfan's gaze suddenly fell on one of the men as he said, "At that time, he told me that they were ordered by Ma Hao. I suggest we can directly interrogate Ma Hao now, why he had the aphrodisiac given to me and my sister-in-law."
At these words, Ma Hao's face changed instantly, his eyes filled with murderous intent landing on the little brother.
The little brother trembled with fright, his face turning as pale as paper. He immediately said to Li Qianfan, "You're talking nonsense; I never told you it was Ma Hao's doing."
"Oh??"
Seeing the other party suddenly changing his statement, Li Qianfan suddenly laughed. His lips curled upwards as he looked at the little brother and asked, "Then tell me, why did you give the aphrodisiac to my sister-in-law?"
"Because… because I wanted to sleep with her!"
The little brother shifted his gaze slightly and gritted his teeth, "Meng Lin is so beautiful and has such a hot body; any normal man would want a taste. Today, as Heaven and Earth was hosting a masquerade, I thought it the perfect opportunity to have her, just like that."
Hearing this, Ma Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Wu Lang's face lit up with a smile, his face full of amusement as he looked at Li Qianfan. The little brother had taken it all upon himself, putting Li Qianfan in a tight spot.

"Earlier, that's not what you said."
Li Qianfan lighted a cigarette, looking at the little brother as he spoke.
"What I said earlier is exactly this." The little brother's face was full of determination, knowing that admitting everything now would get him severely handled by Li Qianfan, but betraying Wu Lang and Ma Hao would mean much more than just a beating.
Not only his life would be in danger, but his family could also be harmed.
"Are you sure you're telling the truth now?"
Li Qianfan stood up and came in front of the little brother, his eyes turning very cold.
The little brother looked up, and when his eyes met Li Qianfan's, a chill rushed from his feet to the crown of his head. At that moment, Li Qianfan looked like a colossal prehistoric beast, ready to devour him at any moment.
Such a terrifying gaze!
Although the little brother was scared, he still bravely said, "I'm telling the truth."
"Alright, I'll ask you again later!"
Li Qianfan then shifted his gaze to the second little brother and asked, "Now, tell me, who instructed you to give the aphrodisiac to my sister-in-law? I hope you consider your answer carefully before replying, because if I find out you're lying, I assure you, your end will be very miserable."
"No…nobody instructed me, it was just the three of us wanting Meng Lin, so..."
Clearly, this little brother was not as bold as the previous one; both his voice and body were continuously trembling.
"You still won't tell the truth, huh? I have plenty of ways to make you talk."
With an impassive heart, Li Qianfan flipped his hand, and a handful of silver needles landed in his palm.
Under the illumination of the light, the silver needles shimmered with a cold luster.
The next moment, Li Qianfan swung his hand, and the needles directly pierced into the temple of the second underling. As a tingling sensation struck, the man let out a low moan, but as the second needle fell, intense pain surged through his head.
"Ahhh..."
Screams echoed throughout the office.
The pain was like a hand violently squeezing his brain, causing him to curl up on the floor and scream in agony, his body continuously rolling.
"I'll ask you again, who instructed you to administer the aphrodisiac to my sister-in-law?"
Li Qianfan's gaze was as dark as that of a wild animal.
This underling's mouth was still tough, enduring such pain yet not telling the truth, clenching his teeth and saying, "No one instructed me!"
"Good, I hope you keep being so tough!"
Li Qianfan waved his hand, and two more needles landed on the underling's head.
The intense pain struck instantly, forcing a miserable scream from the underling's mouth. If the previous pain was like a hand squeezing his head, now it felt like a knife cutting his heart into pieces.
Such extreme pain was beyond human endurance.
"Ah!!" His hoarse voice of agony echoed in the room as he looked desperately at Wu Lang and Ma Hao, "Save me, Brother Lang, Brother Hao, please save me! It's too painful, this guy is a devil, please, save me!"
After all, he was just an underling.
Wu Lang, as if he hadn't heard the plea for help, slowly closed his eyes, as if he saw nothing.
However, Ma Hao felt somewhat sympathetic; after all, the man had followed him for many years. He couldn't bear to watch him being tortured by Li Qianfan any longer, finally, he spoke up, "Li Qianfan, aren't you going too far? He has already confessed. Why continue to torture him? What kind of answer do you actually want?"
"I want him to tell the truth!"
Li Qianfan looked at Ma Hao, his voice calm.
"I am telling the truth!" The underling was defiant. "I did this on my own, I've already confessed."
"Fine, then I'll take it as you did it!"
Li Qianfan turned to look at Wu Lang, speaking indifferently, "Wu Lang, your underling not only drugged my sister-in-law but also wanted to molest her. I don't think punishing him a bit is too much, right?"
"Of course not."
Wu Lang's face was full of righteousness. He said, "If you do something wrong, you must face the punishment. Moreover, Meng Lin was personally recruited by me into Heaven and Earth. If he dared to plot against Meng Lin, he is slapping my face. Punish him however you want, even if you want his life, take it anytime."
"Good!"
Hearing this, Li Qianfan's mouth curved slightly, immediately turning to confront the man, his lips curved as he said, "Did you hear that? Your boss has already given me your life. Next, I'll let you experience what ultimate pain is!!"
With those words, Li Qianfan swung his hand, and fourteen needles all landed in the man's head.
Including the previous four, there were eighteen needles in total.
The man who had been continuously screaming suddenly fell silent, but after a few seconds, he let out a mournful scream.
At the same time, fresh blood slowly trickled from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears...
