The faint moonlight shone on the cliff.

Ye Tianyu tried hard to move his body, trying to find a comfortable position. The injuries on him caused intense pain all over his body, making it extremely unbearable.

"I just picked these herbs nearby. Chew the leaves and swallow them; they can help relieve your pain."

Beside him, Lin Fan waved a fresh herb in front of Ye Tianyu's face, "As long as you fully disclose everything to me, I'll give it to you."

Ye Tianyu gritted his teeth. He didn't want to talk to Lin Fan. Although he had fallen into Lin Fan's hands now, he still held hope that he could escape from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was now using the pain-relief herbs to tempt him. Admittedly, this temptation was quite strong, as he was in so much pain and desperately wanted relief.

But he resisted: "No need, I have nothing to tell you."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Looks like you're not in enough pain yet."

With that, Lin Fan walked over and put the herbs down.

"What are you up to? Don't come closer!" Ye Tianyu was shocked, not knowing what Lin Fan intended to do, "If you come any closer, I'll scream!"

Lin Fan said, "Go ahead and scream. There's no one in this desolate place. Even if you scream your throat out, no one will hear. Relax, it'll be over soon."

As he spoke, Lin Fan placed his hands on Ye Tianyu's shoulder.

Crack!

A sharp bone-breaking sound sent shivers down one's spine, and Ye Tianyu's shoulder was successfully dislocated.

"Ah!"

Ye Tianyu let out a heart-rending scream.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "See, I told you, it's quick. Will you talk now? If you still think it's not enough, you have another shoulder, and if that's not enough, I don't mind putting some holes in your thighs."

Ye Tianyu shivered upon hearing this, feeling his scalp go numb with fear, thinking how ruthless Lin Fan was!

Lin Fan actually wasn't pretending. When the police interrogate suspects, they must follow the rules and can't physically torture them. Lin Fan had followed this rule when he was previously with the police, but sometimes, if you don't use violence against violence, the suspect might never speak.

Just like Ye Tianyu, according to the usual police interrogation methods, he might never open up, and even if he did, it would take a lot of effort.

For instance, when they caught Hong Jinmao tonight, they could have directly asked him about Ye Tianyu's whereabouts, but because Hong Jinmao refused to speak and insisted on calling a lawyer, the police couldn't do anything to him. Lin Fan had to rely on other methods to trace the clues himself.

On the contrary, the masked woman who took away Hong Jinmao wasn't polite to him and tortured him for a bit, quickly getting the answers, learning about Ye Tianyu's whereabouts even before Lin Fan did, complicating the situation.

Lin Fan wasn't a policeman, and no police were present at this moment, so Lin Fan decided to use his own methods.

While Ye Tianyu was trained in martial arts, he was nothing more than a weakling in front of Lin Fan. He couldn't possibly withstand Lin Fan's torture.

There was no other choice. Lin Fan not only possessed astonishing strength but also top-level medical skills. He had countless ways to bring Ye Tianyu extreme pain.

Dislocating one shoulder was merely an appetizer.

Lin Fan's hands were already on Ye Tianyu's other shoulder, planning to disable both sides.

"Stop, stop!" Ye Tianyu screamed hoarsely, "Don't you claim to be a good citizen? Then you must be with the police. Aren't you afraid I'll report you for torturing me?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Look at how injured you are now. I'm just adding a bit more to your injuries. You fell off the mountain into the undercurrent, which resulted in your wounds. I will report faithfully to the police."

Shameless!

Ye Tianyu almost burst into angry tears.

Crack!

Just as Lin Fan finished speaking, he exerted slightly more force, disabling Ye Tianyu's other shoulder too.

"Ah!"

Ye Tianyu cried in agony. With both shoulders excruciatingly painful at once, large beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, distorting his face.

"Hmm, what should I do next?" Lin Fan murmured, seemingly pondering, "Oh, right, wasn't your thigh injured in the car accident before? I could expand the wound for you, and by the way, puncture your major artery. This way, you not only get to experience extreme human pain but also get to watch yourself bleed out until death. Hmm, this idea sounds good."

After he heard Lin Fan's words, Ye Tianyu was scared out of his wits, feeling his soul almost flying away. Lin Fan was too vicious.

Seeing Lin Fan about to take action, Ye Tianyu shouted hoarsely, "Stop, stop, I'll talk, alright?"

Lin Fan's previous words were merely meant to scare him; if Ye didn't fear it, he would act, but this guy was really scared.

"Speak, tell everything in detail and don't lie, because if you lie, I will find out, and you know what the consequences will be." Lin Fan smiled and said.

Ye Tianyu, feeling deeply aggrieved, nearly hating Lin Fan, wondered how the world could have such a formidable person, especially since he had never heard of Lin Fan before!

"Here's the situation. I used to be a security guard at a five-star hotel. One day, I met a rich girl…" Ye Tianyu pleaded, "Please, can you give me the pain-relief medicine first? I'm in such unbearable pain." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Lin Fan picked up the herb, plucked a couple of leaves, and stuffed them into Ye Tianyu's mouth.

Ye Tianyu chewed crazily and swallowed. Indeed, the pain eased a bit. Lin Fan didn't lie; the herb indeed had pain-relief properties.

Lin Fan said, "Do you want more? Continue talking. So, is this about a loser's reversal of fortune with a rich and beautiful woman?"

Ye Tianyu replied, "It's not like you think. She didn't fancy me, even though I did help her. That day, while she was handling some business at the hotel, a car went out of control and nearly hit her. I happened to be nearby and saved her. Later, I found out she was the heiress of the Golden Jade Group."

Lin Fan responded with an "Oh": "Golden Jade Group? I think I've heard of it; it's a company in Jiangnan. Isn't it already bankrupt and liquidated?"

Golden Jade Group is a technology company specializing in computer technology development. However, it faced bankruptcy liquidation due to poor management. Lin Fan had heard of it because Feng Ruolan mentioned it to him.

Lin Fan and Feng Ruolan jointly operate Ruofan Capital, an investment company specializing in investments. Recently, Lin Fan hadn't had much time to manage it; Feng Ruolan was handling it.

Feng Ruolan mentioned the Golden Jade Group to Lin Fan, thinking it's still valuable, asking if Lin Fan wanted to take over.

Lin Fan allowed Feng Ruolan to decide for herself. As for the current situation of the Golden Jade Group, Lin Fan was unaware.

Ye Tianyu said, "I've been imprisoned for a year. I don't know the specifics; I haven't dared to inquire."

Lin Fan said, "Oh, continue."

Ye Tianyu said, "That day, I saved the heiress of the Golden Jade Group. Her name is Li Zixia. She is a wealthy heiress and also pretty; indeed, a rich and beautiful woman... Of course, that's not the point..."

Lin Fan smiled subtly. Ye Tianyu's eyes betrayed him—rich and beautiful woman—that's definitely the point.
