Trembling At A High Altitude

"Smack!"

Feng Dahai raised the long whip in his hand.

But instead of landing it on Li Teng, he struck Sunglasses Woman Anna.

Anna grunted, then glared coldly at Feng Dahai.

"Are you going to confess?" Feng Dahai bellowed as he lashed out at Anna once more, then quickly glanced at Li Teng.

According to Huang Xun, there seemed to be something between this pair of dogs, a lovers' relationship?

Li Teng was tough, and no beating would make him confess, so he might as well beat this woman.

However, Feng Dahai was somewhat infuriated by Li Teng's expression.

The guy was actually smiling!

Pretending, right? Your little lover is being hit and you can still smile?

"Are you going to confess? If you don't, I'll beat her to death," threatened Feng Dahai to Li Teng.

"If you have the guts, kill her! If you don't kill her, you're my son," Li Teng shot back at Feng Dahai.

"Damn! This is a lunatic!" Feng Dahai roared in anger and lashed Anna brutally several more times.

Anna was battered and bleeding profusely; her head drooped down, but she didn't make a sound. To Feng Dahai, whipping her felt like hitting a piece of wood.

"Stop it, boss! Someone is going to die! If we kill the wrong person, we've lost!" Huang Xun shouted at Feng Dahai, truly not expecting that Li Teng, that crafty devil, was also a scumbag without a trace of affection.

"So much damn talk!" Feng Dahai whipped back, striking Huang Xun and splitting his flesh open, prompting a scream of agony.

"Boss... I... I... don't hit me... I'm on your side!" Huang Xun didn't know what to say, as the boss was truly extraordinary—merciless even to his own people!

Feng Dahai glared furiously at Li Teng and Anna.

He felt the trouble was getting bigger.

If only one of these five editors was tough, things would be easier. Once the four of them confessed, it wouldn't matter much if the fifth one didn't.

Now there were two tough nuts to crack.

One, Li Teng playing the fool, and Anna remaining silent.

So, among the two of them, who was the Underground Worker?

"Brother Hai, based on my analysis, the Underground Worker might be this woman." Previously silent, Pretty Boy Du Qing came over and pointed at Anna, saying a few words to Feng Dahai.

"Hmm, go on," said Feng Dahai, sitting down on a nearby chair.

"Look at the clues given in their confessions..."

"Mickey said: Daisy knows some inside information about this matter. Mickey is on our side; he wouldn't be the Liar, nor would he lie to us, so what he says must be true."

"Daisy said that you should ask Elsa about this, Elsa said, 'I heard Gao Fei knows an important clue,' and Gao Fei said, 'Donna knows very well who the Underground Worker is.'"

"I figure the chances of these three lying aren't high; they're purely trying to save themselves."

"Also, this Gao Fei mentioned that Donna knows very well who the Underground Worker is. If Gao Fei wasn't lying, Brother Hai, who do you think it would be?" Pretty Boy Du Qing glanced at Sunglasses Woman Anna with her head hanging.

"Boss, you only whipped that crafty bastard once. Whipping him a few more times might make him confess," Huang Xun, who had just been whipped, daringly reminded Feng Dahai.

"Hmm, I did only whip him once. If that Gao Fei wasn't lying, I'll whip him a few more times, and who knows, he might just confess," said Feng Dahai as he stood up with the whip and walked towards Li Teng.

Elsa, Daisy, and Gao Fei all showed expressions of fear.

At first, Feng Dahai seemed to be going to whip Li Teng but ended up striking Elsa instead, and Daisy happened to get hit as well.

Later, he again seemed to be going to whip Li Teng but ended up beating Anna to within an inch of her life.

This time he wouldn't suddenly go crazy and whip one of them, would he?

Unpredictable people are the most frightening.

Among Elsa, Daisy, and Gao Fei, Gao Fei's terror reached its peak.

Because he had still never been whipped before.

So, his chances of being beaten this time were the highest.

However, Feng Dahai did not switch to someone else this time but directly began his savage abuse of Li Teng.

One after another, over a dozen lashes, each accompanied by Li Teng's intensely piercing shrieks.

"Will you confess?" Feng Dahai stopped.

"A man must not bow his noble head, only the fear of death compels one to beg for 'freedom'; what counts torture or execution? Even death won't make me speak!" Li Teng declared with righteous indignation.

"Damn!" Feng Dahai continued lashing.

"Will you confess?" A few minutes later, Feng Dahai stopped again.

"Since ancient times, who hasn't faced death? My loyal heart aspires to shine through history!" Li Teng held his head high, chest out.

"Your mother! You know quite a few twisted poems!" Feng Dahai lashed out again.

"Will you confess?" Panting heavily, Feng Dahai stopped.

"I laugh to the heavens as I wield my blade, leaving my liver and gallbladder on the twin peaks of Kunlun!" Li Teng faced death as if returning home.

"Laugh your mother's ass!" Feng Dahai gave him a dozen more lashes.

Li Teng's cries of agony had lowered, seeming like he wouldn't last much longer.

The mountains wept, the sun and moon shared the grief.

Everyone else bore tears in their eyes, unable to bear the sight.

How great the willpower, how strong the conviction one must possess to stay unyielding and majestic while enduring such brutal beatings?

"Your mother! I don't believe you won't confess!" Feng Dahai's hands had become numb. He put down the whip and ordered the glowing-hot iron from the brazier to be brought over.

"Stop hitting me! I'll confess!" Li Teng's eyes revealed a look of fear.

Anna, with her head down as if in her dying throes, suddenly lifted her head upon hearing Li Teng's words.

"Hurry and confess! Who is the Underground Worker?" Feng Dahai held the iron close to Li Teng's face.

"I confess... confess your mother's ****!" Li Teng spat a mouthful of blood onto Feng Dahai's face, then revealed a mocking expression.

Anna who had just lifted her head lowered it again.

"Damn it!" In a fit of rage, Feng Dahai thrust the fiery hot iron forward.

Li Teng had cursed satisfyingly, and now his screams were even more intense.

Daisy, the young girl, couldn't bear it and glanced at Li Teng. Seeing his miserable condition, she suddenly broke down into uncontrollable crying.

"Brother, please confess. The person you desperately want to protect may not even appreciate you," Gao Fei said to Li Teng with reddened eyes, trying to persuade him.

"Can he confess? Do you think he's doing this for someone else? He hasn't got enough points this time, if he doesn't confess he'll descend to Hell, but if he does, he's served his death meal instantly," argued Huang Xun with Gao Fei.

"Got a smart mouth, don't you?" Feng Dahai picked another iron from the stove, stormed towards Huang Xun with fierce intent.

Gao Fei had been urging Li Teng to confess; Li Teng might have gotten confused and actually confessed, but Huang Xun's remark made it impossible for him to dare confess!

"Boss! I'm sorry! Boss! I won't talk anymore! Boss! Please no!" Huang Xun was so scared that he seemed to have wet himself at the sight of the glowing hot iron.

"Brother, just confess already! We're all going to die anyway, confess and at least die without the torture!" Seeing the iron in Feng Dahai's hand, Gao Fei felt his scalp tingle and desperately continued to urge Li Teng to confess, hoping to avert Feng Dahai's anger from himself.

"Boss, don't be fooled by this guy. He has a filthy mouth and is pretending to be a good person! Boss, brand him a few times first! Maybe he's the Liar!" Huang Xun had always disagreed with Gao Fei. He suddenly remembered that up until now Gao Fei hadn't been touched, while he, Huang Xun, had already been whipped by Feng Dahai, and he immediately felt the injustice.

"Will you shut up already?" Irritated, Feng Dahai pressed the hot iron against Huang Xun's chest.

Just now, Gao Fei had been helping him by urging Li Teng, which was exactly the effect Feng Dahai wanted, but Huang Xun had interrupted it, naturally provoking his annoyance.

"Boss! We're on the same side! I've always been sincerely helping you! Why are you always targeting me? Ah! Ah!" Huang Xun argued and screamed loudly.

"Back when I was playing King of Glory, I never feared god-like opponents; it was pig-like teammates I dreaded! Shut your damn mouth!" Feng Dahai thrust the hot iron into Huang Xun's mouth.
