The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 328: Never Betray

The night was profoundly terrifying.

Silvery moonlight cascaded like water, spilling generously from the sky.

In Tianhai, the headquarters of the Victory Sky Society was ablaze with lights.

After a day of searching by the Victory Sky Society, there was finally a lead on the whereabouts of Li Pangzi and the Monkey, and as Ye Chenfeng had anticipated, their disappearance was indeed connected to a pharmaceutical factory in Tianhai.

Ye Chenfeng held the documents about that pharmaceutical factory in his hand—the Henghui Pharmaceuticals, belonging to a factory from the Island Nation. Two years ago, Henghui Pharmaceuticals entered Huaxia Country and opened its first factory in Tianhai. Since then, taking Tianhai as the center, they gradually expanded their factories to other cities. In these two years, they had developed quite well. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

That is until Tengtian Pharmaceutical Factory was established in Tianhai, and the city’s pharmaceutical industry was virtually monopolized by Tengtian Pharmaceutical. Henghui’s branches in Huaxia were facing bankruptcy. According to the higher-ups of Tengtian Pharmaceutical, the person in charge of Henghui in Huaxia had once sought out Li Pangzi and the Monkey to discuss matters.

All clues were pointing to Henghui Pharmaceuticals, making it almost certain that the disappearance of Li Pangzi and the Monkey was related to them.

Inside the main hall of the headquarters, Fang Nanxiang received a phone call and quickly said, "Young Master Ye, we have a lead on the Monkey and Li Pangzi. They seem to be held in an abandoned factory outside the suburbs. Should we act immediately?"

Ye Chenfeng’s expression turned grim. He couldn’t help but let his Eighth Level Soul Force radiate outwards, turning the Henghui Pharmaceuticals documents in his hand to dust in an instant, scattering them on the ground. Could anyone perceive the extent of his fury?

"Boss, let me come with you! The Monkey and Li Pangzi are also my brothers," Brother Hu said, his eyes unintentionally twitching as he saw the documents turn to dust, truly frightened by Ye Chenfeng’s ominous demeanor.

"Master, I want to come with you too, more hands make for lighter work," Tie Niu immediately added.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "I should go alone. More people might make us clumsy. If they discover us, it might put the Monkey and Li Pangzi at risk. So, you guys stay here and wait for my news."

Seeing that Ye Chenfeng was determined, Fang Nanxiang, Brother Hu, and Tie Niu refrained from saying more. They all knew Ye Chenfeng’s strength, and with him involved, they believed that the Monkey and Li Pangzi would surely be brought back safely.

...

Outside an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

After obtaining the address from Fang Nanxiang, Ye Chenfeng arrived here in just over an hour.

Weeds overran the surroundings of the abandoned factory, where dim lights were faintly visible. Ye Chenfeng extended his Eighth Level Soul Force and quickly spotted two snipers with machine guns on the roof of the factory. It seemed that Henghui Pharmaceuticals from the Island Nation was not simple at all to have engaged even snipers.

Ye Chenfeng moved silently through the overgrowth, aiming to slip into the abandoned factory unnoticed. He had to take out those two snipers first; if not, he would likely startle the quarry. Although confident in his own strength, he wanted to minimize the danger to the Monkey and Li Pangzi.

"Is it really necessary to be so cautious just to deal with a small pharmaceutical factory? I don’t think anyone will come here."

"Right. They have us doing surveillance here late at night, but there isn’t even a fly around!"

On the roof of the abandoned factory, the two snipers conversed fluently in their native Island Nation language, oblivious that a shadow had appeared behind them at some undisclosed moment, and they were completely unaware of the danger.

"Pfft, pfft."

Two pebbles shot out swiftly from the shadowy figure’s palms, embedding themselves accurately and fatally into the heads of two snipers, who, just a moment ago, had been chatting away. Instantly, they lost their lives without making a significant sound, ensuring that those inside the abandoned factory remained unaware of the change outside.

Standing on the rooftop of the abandoned factory, Ye Chenfeng gazed at the two corpses before him and shook his head coldly. These snipers were utterly unprofessional. No matter the immediate danger, one should always stay focused during a mission. Yet, these two had been idly chatting away—it was incredulous how senseless they could be.

...

Inside the abandoned factory.

There were a total of six people, among them, two were suspended in midair with their hands tied by ropes: one was a fatty, and the other a skinny man—the fat one was none other than Li Pangzi, and the skinny one was Monkey!

At that moment, Li Pangzi and Monkey had had their clothes removed, and their bodies were covered with fresh, bloody gashes. Some areas of the skin were even torn open, revealing the shocking sight of their flesh and blood beneath.

In front of Li Pangzi and Monkey stood four men from the Island Nation. One of them, dressed in a suit, was named Matsui Zeichi, the head of Henge Pharmaceuticals in Huaxia Country. He wore a cold, sneering smile as he looked at Li Pangzi and Monkey, hanging before him.

The other three Island Nation men standing beside Matsui Zeichi were dressed in samurai attire, with a katana at their waists each, suggesting that they were all skilled fighters.

"Have you two thought it through? Just hand over the formulas for those three drugs, and I can spare your lives. You can even work for Henge Pharmaceutical. You must realize that Henge is the largest pharmaceutical company in our Island Nation, and the power held by our boss is not something you can resist. To let you work for Henge is your fortune," said Matsui Zeichi in barely fluent Huaxia language, his face full of disdain and impatience.

Monkey and Li Pangzi, suspended and barely breathing, struggled. Monkey managed a challenging smile and roared with all the strength he could muster, "I, Monkey, will never betray my boss, never. I won’t tell you dogs from the Island Nation the drug formulas, even if it costs me my life, with no regrets or resentments."

You stiff-necked Huaxia man, what right do you have to shout at me?" snarled Matsui Zeichi as he picked up a black leather whip, its length studded with sharp iron barbs. Without a moment’s hesitation, he lashed Monkey with the whip.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The whip landed on Monkey’s body, causing many visible wounds to appear instantly. Monkey clenched his teeth tightly, trying not to let out a scream of agony, only muffled groans could be heard in his throat. He absolutely refused to disgrace his boss, Ye Chenfeng—he just wouldn’t.

For Monkey to divulge the drug formulas would be to betray Ye Chenfeng, the only boss he’s ever recognized in this life. He would never turn his back, even at the cost of his own life.

Seeing that Monkey had clammed up completely, Matsui Zeichi turned his chilling gaze to Li Pangzi and said, "Isn’t there a saying in Huaxia Country, ’A wise man submits to circumstances’? I assume you are more aware of current affairs than your friend here? Just tell me the formulas for the three drugs, and I can promise you a managerial position in Henge Pharmaceutical. Why continue to suffer like this?"

Li Pangzi, hanging in midair, his face a palette of bruises, shook with weak laughter and said, "Fine, I can tell you. Come closer, I don’t have much strength left."

"Li Pangzi, what are you saying? We absolutely cannot betray the boss, you can’t tell him the drug formulas," Monkey exclaimed in a panic as he heard Li Pangzi.

Matsui Zeichi, seeing Li Pangzi’s apparent readiness to reveal the formulas, immediately approached, smiling and said, "Good, I respect you for that. I will surely fulfill what I promised."

Who knew that Li Pangzi would suddenly burst into loud laughter, spitting a mouthful of saliva onto Matsui Zeichi’s face: "Ptui! You Island Nation dog, take a faceful of your Uncle Li’s spit! Just because Uncle Li looks plump doesn’t mean I’m a coward. Without the boss, I, Li Pangzi, would never know what it’s like to be successful in life."

"If I betray the boss, would I, Li Pangzi, still be human? I will never betray the boss in this lifetime," Li Pangzi said, his mouth breaking into a jubilant smile, his face expressing sheer determination.

In this life, never betray.

This was the only thing Monkey and Li Pangzi could do for their boss, Ye Chenfeng. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
