"She kicked her in the waist and stepped on her leg with her heels." The man answered without making eye contact with Wu Zhang.

Wu Zhang's fists curled into balls out of anger and his jaw clenched. He then signaled them to continue and soon a man brought a heavy iron rod, he first kicked Fei Yan in the side to make her fall on the ground before he smacked the rod on her leg, bringing out an ear-piercing scream from her. 

The man however did not flinch and continued hitting her with it, until he was sure that her legs must have crippled by now. Fei Yan continued begging and crying for mercy, but it all fell on deaf ears. There was no one to listen to her here.

The man was about to go for another hit when Wu Zhang flicked his wrist and signaled him to stop. He bowed his head and stepped aside letting Fei Yan squirm and writhe in pain. 

"What else did you do Fei Yan?" He asked in his cold voice.

Fei Yan who was squirming with pain yelled back in reply, "Nothing! I did nothing more!"

Wu Zhang looked unsatisfied with the response and he flicked his hand again. The man with the iron rod understood his signal immediately and grabbed Fei Yan by her arm, and started pulling her to a corner of the room. Fei Yan who was half-standing and half being dragged screamed again, "I am telling the truth. I did nothing more to her and then you arrived. I did nothing!"

Wu Zhang didn't care to reply as he sat back there and tapped his right foot on the ground in a rhythmic motion. Meanwhile, the man who had dragged Fei Yan held her hands behind her and tied her wrists with a rope, which was passing through a pulley on the ceiling and was looped around some machine that was placed behind Fei Yan. 

"Don't do this to me Wu Zhang please, please let me go. Wu Zhang plea— aah." She suddenly yelped when she felt her body being lifted. She turned around to see that the rope was reeling into the machine behind her through the pulley and she was soon hanging in mid-air, with her feet dangling. The levitation caused immense pressure on her shoulders and the pain reflected in her eyes.

"Your shoulders will dislocate in a few minutes from the pressure." Wu Zhang murmured casually like he was talking about the weather.

"Don't do this Wu Zhang, please" Her voice had become hoarse, eyes had turned red from crying, her body was aching and she looked like she would collapse any minute.

"Then think fast about what else did you do to her."

Fei Yan tried to shut all the pain aside for a while and think hard about what else had she done before Wu Zhang arrived but she could think of nothing because that was all.

"Aaa!" Suddenly the man pushed her on her waist, making her swing forward, which increased the pressure on her shoulders.

"I— I shot her. I shot her!" she blabbered as she could think of nothing else. And then Wu Zhang smiled devilishly and signaled to put her down, which brought some relief to Fei Yan.

However, her relief was very short-lived as what Wu Zhang spoke next, made the hair on her neck stand, giving her goosebumps. "Say uncle, do you think she could survive even a single shot?"

Mo Xiu who had been standing next to Wu Zhang chuckled and shook his head. "No Zhang I don't think so. Considering her state, I am sure she will die on the spot."

"Too bad that I can't do it then."

"Do it, Wu Zhang, please do it. Just kill me already, please. I can't bear this." Fei Yan begged. The pain was unbearable for her and at this point, she felt that it was better to die than to continue enduring this torture.

"You would wish this everyday bitch, but you won't die so easily. You messed with the wrong people." Mo Xiu said.

"Wu Zhang I am sorry for whatever I did. If you don't want to release me then please just kill me already. They have already r.a.p.ed me, beat me, and tortured me. Isn't that already enough? Considering the fact that we were friends once, please have some mercy on Wu Zhang."

"If you saw me as a friend Fei Yan, you would have never tried to hurt me or the woman that I love. So don't dare give me that shit anymore. I could have shown some mercy if it was only me that you tried to harm. But to think that you would drag her into this as well, what you have done is unforgivable."

Veins popped out of his forehead when he that image of half-dead Song Jia soaked in blood flashed past his mind. He was a man who was very possessive of his people or belongings and Song Jia was the most important person to him. He had felt the deepest of fears and his life getting stuck in his throat when he saw her in that condition. He had waited the entire night for her surgery to end before he drove here to unleash his fury. Had anything happened to her, this woman in front of him would have already died the most miserable death one could think of.

While Fei Yan continued begging and pleading, Wu Zhang got up from his chair and walked closer to her. He took one final glance at her and turned around to leave after saying, "throw her in the last room."

The last room was a room fool of insects that fed on human flesh and were specifically bred for torturing purposes. Fei Yan did not know this, but she kept pleading when she saw Wu Zhang leaving, hoping he would change her mind, but he didn't.
