Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 187: Interrogation of Huang Yuanhao

"No way, if Skyfire Association found out that he summoned all you young prospects without the big brother’s knowledge, the big brother would at least suspect that someone higher up is trying to steal his favorite little brother, which would affect the unity between the ranks. You wouldn’t want to be targeted by your big brother afterward, and get into trouble before you even get to Skyfire Association, right?"

Huang Yuanhao shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"Don’t want! Don’t want! I will keep it a secret, I definitely will!"

Huang Yuanhao was a somewhat higher-ranked thug and had seen and heard a lot of things. He knew that some big brothers dealt with disobedient little brothers harshly, and he sure didn’t want to bring misfortune upon himself.

"Good, to avoid raising any suspicions, I’ll leave first. Wait a few minutes before you stroll around in the internet café lobby and then return to the private room to play games. Put on a show so that everyone sees you’re still around. Don’t leave right after I do; if both our feet move one after the other, anyone would know there’s a problem."

"Got it, got it. I can do that. Report at four o’clock, right? If I leave a little after three, I’ll be on time, and I guarantee I won’t give anything away."

"Not bad, you really are a promising prospect that the higher-ups have their eye on. Well then, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Huang Yuanhao watched Ye Nai leave excitedly, returned to the table, and thought about starting another round.

But when he put on the headset, there was no sound no matter what he said. After checking, he found the plug had fallen to the ground.

As he was about to plug it back in, he suddenly remembered the errand boy who had relayed messages to him and figured that person must have purposely unplugged it to prevent their conversation from being broadcasted online.

Realizing this, Huang Yuanhao felt an inexplicable chill and breathed a sigh of relief, then he dropped the plug and went to the restroom.

After using the restroom, he went behind the cashier booth to the drinks cabinet and grabbed a bottle of soda.

The cashier, who was especially nosy, asked him about the message that errand boy had relayed earlier.

Huang Yuanhao glanced at the cashier girl, shook his head, and left her with a "can’t say", drinking his soda on his way back to the private room.

The cashier girl spat in pretense, rolled her eyes, and busied herself with processing orders on the computer; some customers wanted drinks and barbecue, so she called over a guy at the door to get the barbecue, and she’d handle the drinks later.

Once she got busy, she quickly forgot about Huang Yuanhao.

When Huang Yuanhao returned to the private room and just closed the door, Ye Nai, who had been shadowing him through a spore, immediately took action and brought him into the Space.

When he entered the Space, he still held his drink. The soda that hadn’t been tightly sealed spilled all over the Space but didn’t flow all over; instead, it formed a ball of water that floated in the air as if weightless.

Ye Nai looked around the Space somewhat speechless, truly at a loss about what was happening.

Solid objects stood still and could be piled up against the ceiling, which clearly indicated gravity was present, yet the drink gathered into a sphere as if in a weightless environment.

How could a Space have two different states of gravity?

Ye Nai was puzzled, shook her head, and decided to let it be. The Space was hers, and if the drink could gather without dispersing, it meant water could, too, which would make fetching water easier in the future.

She didn’t walk far away immediately after leaving the internet café but relied on her familiarity with the surroundings to sneak into an alley leading to a residential area. As she turned the corner and saw that no one was around, she quickly returned to the hotel.

All the kids in the vicinity knew that this alley hid a small dead-end corner perfect for hide and seek. Whenever the game started, the children scrambled for this spot first because it allowed for a quick escape to change hiding places if necessary—a prime position with easy entry and exit.

And none of the buildings around could see this location.

The buildings near the alley entrance had walls facing the alley due to their design, and the communities with windows or balconies facing the alley were further inside, hidden by the front buildings.

It was because she knew this that Ye Nai felt so assured and boldly vanished from that spot.

Even if someone saw her turn into the alley, they would just assume she went into one of the communities inside.

After resting for a moment in the hotel room, Ye Nai went into the Secret Realm again, back to the same dark grove as before.

Huang Yuanhao was thrown onto the ground, and Ye Nai placed a dim camping lantern next to his head. It slightly illuminated his face but hid who was doing this to him.

Ye Nai pulled out a voice changer and selected a deep, steady middle-aged male voice.

Then, she proceeded with the three-pronged approach.

Finally, she woke him up.

"Ah..."

Huang Yuanhao let out a low moan and opened his eyes.

All he could see was darkness, except for a small bit of light beside his face.

"Ah! Where is this?! Help! Help!"

Huang Yuanhao tried to get up and run away, but of course, he couldn’t move, barely managing not to have his breathing restricted was already fortunate.

"Huang Yuanhao."

Ye Nai let him thrash around for a while, and once he stopped to catch his breath, she spoke with a voice changer.

"Ah? Who? Who’s talking?"

"Huang Yuanhao, I want to ask you something."

"Don’t ask me, don’t ask me anything, I don’t know anything."

"Bad boy."

Ye Nai put down the voice changer and gave Huang Yuanhao a five-minute intense pain experience.

During those five minutes, Huang Yuanhao cried and begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, whatever you want to ask, just ask, I’ll tell you everything, I’ll tell you everything, please stop, have mercy, spare me! Wuuu, Mom, save me~"

After five minutes, the excruciating pain ceased, and Huang Yuanhao’s body tensed for a moment before realizing the pain was gone, only then did he relax his body.

"Huang Yuanhao."

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk, whatever you ask, I’ll say, please let me go~"

"Good, return Ye Yong and Ye Ji’s cellphones."

"What? What cellphones?"

"Playing dumb with me? Not in enough pain?"

The very next second, Huang Yuanhao tensed up again, as intense pain suddenly returned.

"Ah~"

Huang Yuanhao let out a wretched scream, but with his vocal cords half-clenched, he couldn’t make much noise; it sounded more like the low growl of a small animal.

This time the punishment lasted for a minute.

"Remember now? Huang Yuanhao?"

"I remember, I remember, those twins, Jiang Hui’s people."

"See, isn’t this much better? Return the cellphones to me."

"The cellphones..."

"Hmm?"

"No, no, no, don’t act, I’ll talk, I’ll talk, the cellphones aren’t with me, I didn’t take them."

"Everyone claims they didn’t take my child’s cellphone, yet the money in the phone is being spent enthusiastically, where’s the cellphone? If you can’t explain clearly this time, you won’t be able to talk anymore."

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t know they were your kids, I gave the cellphone to our big brother, he’s the one who really spent the money, not me."

"What’s your big brother’s name? Where can I find him?"

"My big brother is Sun Guangjin, known as Brother Sun, he’s babysitting at our internet café."

"How old is he?"

"Seems like he’s in his thirties, not yet forty."

"Is he there today?"

"No, I haven’t seen him since yesterday, I heard his girlfriend got into a fight outside, and he went to help."

"So, except for these emergencies, he’s usually at the internet café?"

"Yes, yes, yes, he’s always at the internet café, you know, he’s in charge of overseeing the place, people there get into fights over games, only Brother Sun can calm them down."

"Who’s his boss?"

"What?"
