Chapter 57: Who Will Confess First?
All three male editors were tightly tied to the pillars in the room, with Glasses Man Huang Xun being bound the loosest, sloppily wrapped with just a few turns.
Li Teng was bound the tightest.
Under Feng Dahai's orders, the military police wrapped rope around Li Teng over and over again, his hands tied behind the pillar and his feet also bound tightly to the pillar, with the rope even circling his neck twice.
Li Teng could barely breathe if he leaned forward slightly, let alone do anything else.
The 'self-explosion' of the newcomers during the filming process was just a pretext, not the kind of self-destruction of Magical Treasures or the Cultivators using all their cultivation to perish together with the enemy, as described in cultivation novels.
It wasn't that newcomers would shout 'I'm self-exploding!' and then go 'Boom!' and explode.
It merely referred to newcomers finding an opportunity during the story to kill off a main character from the opposing camp, aiming to interrupt the plot or make the opposition lose 100 points, just that kind of tactic.
Because after newcomers did this, they would be forcibly thrown into the Hell Theater Troupe and hardly survive, which was almost no different from suicide and might not even achieve the expected result, hence the term 'self-explosion' was used.
Just like Li Teng's current situation, during the two-hour filming of this scene, his hands and feet were tied up, he couldn't move at all, and with military police guarding around, he had no chance to attack Feng Dahai, let alone kill him.
In this situation, it was impossible for him to 'self-explode.'
Feng Dahai had also been on guard against this from the very beginning.
The three female editors were not tied as tightly, possibly because there were only three pillars in the room, which were already used to tie the three male editors, so the three female editors were only tied by their wrists, and the other end of the rope was thrown over the beam and tied to the wall, suspending their bodies in the air.
Feng Dahai walked over to the wall, took a whip from a bucket there, and seemed to be preparing to play the 'whipping top' game with the three female editors.
Comparatively, the male editors' situation was a bit better, since at least their feet could touch the ground.
Elsa and Daisy began to scream as soon as they were hung up, while Anna kept a stern face and didn't make a sound.
"My wrists are so sore! It's just acting, can you not hang me like this? Can you let my feet touch the ground, please?" the female office worker Elsa protested.
If she didn't protest, she couldn't bear being hung for two hours!
'Snap!'
With a sudden loud noise, Feng Dahai's whip lashed out, and the tip struck female office worker Elsa.
Elsa's clothes were instantly torn apart, her skin split open and flesh torn.
Taken by surprise, Elsa screamed loudly, the sound was unbearably piercing.
Her screams instantly plastered fear across the faces of the other editors.
This wasn't acting! It was the most real nightmare!
"Who will confess first? Those who speak up can suffer less physical pain," Feng Dahai asked the editors with a whip in hand, smugly.
"Me!"
"Me, me!"
"Me!"
The young girl Daisy, Huang Xun, and the screaming Elsa shouted out one after another, scrambling to be first.
They were not true revolutionary martyrs; they were just acting. The execution was real, and how could an average person bear it?
Gao Fei's mouth opened as well, but in the end, whether it was out of pride or some other reason, he didn't shout it out loud.
Only Anna remained silent, with a cold face.
And then there was Li Teng, grinning foolishly.
"What are you laughing at? Resigned to death?" Feng Dahai took a few steps toward Li Teng.
"Hahaha," Li Teng laughed aloud, with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.
"Mocking me or playing dumb?" Feng Dahai whipped toward Li Teng, landing squarely on Li Teng's face.
That excruciating pain.
Li Teng stopped laughing and began to scream, his voice piercing, drowning out the female office worker's.
"I thought you were brave. How embarrassing for a big man to scream so miserably!" Feng Dahai laughed heartily.
"I'll ask again! Who will confess first?" Feng Dahai turned back to the crowd and asked again.
"Me!"
"Me, me!"
"Me, me, me!"
"Me!"
This time Gao Fei joined in too.
The whip in Feng Dahai's hand was too ruthless! Just look at Li Teng's face; one lash and the idol drama instantly turned into a horror movie.
"Boss, I'll confess first!" Huang Xun was also extremely nervous inside, seeing how ruthless Feng Dahai was, he was very worried that Feng would be so ruthless he'd even beat his own people.
"Alright, I find you somewhat pleasing to the eye, you confess first." Feng Dahai gave Huang Xun the first chance to confess.
"I confess: Daisy knows some inside information about this matter." Huang Xun quickly relayed his clue to Feng Dahai; being a mole appointed by Feng, the clue he provided was of course a real one.
Feng Dahai glared fiercely at Daisy.
"I confess! You should go ask Elsa about this matter!" Daisy didn't hesitate to blurt out her clue.
"I confess! I heard that Gao Fei knows an important clue!" Elsa almost interrupted Daisy with her clue as soon as she finished speaking.
Feng Dahai turned his glare towards Gao Fei.
"I confess: Donna is very clear about who the Underground Worker is." Gao Fei swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
Almost in an instant, all four people had finished their confessions, even competing to spill their clues.
Anna sighed and shook her head.
Li Teng was no longer screaming in misery; his expression sullen and dejected.
Feng Dahai, holding the whip, looked at Li Teng.
The room suddenly fell quiet.
Elsa, having been whipped, dared not scream anymore. Daisy, the young girl, even turned her head to the side, holding her breath, not daring to look towards Li Teng.
"Crack!" There was a loud noise.
Feng Dahai's whip lashed out again.
But this time, the whip didn't hit Li Teng, but Elsa once more!
Elsa had not expected to be whipped again, and the severe pain made her scream heartrendingly once more.
"You're lying! Your clue is fake! Tell me what your real clue is!?" Feng Dahai bellowed as he whipped Elsa again!
"I'm not lying! Please stop hitting me! I didn't lie!" Elsa cried out.
"So, you're lying now!?" Feng Dahai twisted his head and glared at Daisy.
"Please... plea… you..." Daisy, terrified by his glare, could not even speak properly.
With a 'crack,' Feng Dahai's whip fiercely struck Daisy.
Daisy let out a scream that could have shattered everyone's eardrums, followed by loud cries, begging for mercy and screaming for help.
"Boss, please stop hitting them. I know them; the two of them wouldn't dare lie. You should beat that sneaky Donna; you won't make a mistake," Huang Xun pleaded with Feng Dahai for the two girls.
"Hahaha..." Li Teng laughed loudly.
Feng Dahai, holding the whip, really did approach Li Teng.
"Come on, son, let's see how much you can beat me! Beat me until I confess and call you daddy, if you can't make me confess, then you're my son!" Li Teng taunted Feng Dahai.
"You've got guts!" Feng Dahai sneered.
"Boss, don't fall for it, you need to listen carefully to what he says. He means whether he confesses or not, you're still going to be his son!" Huang Xun hurriedly reminded Feng Dahai.
Feng Dahai glared at Huang Xun annoyedly... Am I deaf or dumb? Can't I understand such words? Do I need your reminder?
"That's not what I meant... Boss, you must be cautious when dealing with him; this man is extraordinarily sneaky!" Huang Xun quickly added a few explanatory words.
