Chapter 1891 - 1891: The Man Who Was Beaten to Tears
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Li Yuanhui immediately shook his head and said, "Big Brother, yesterday... yesterday I wasn't at the tea house at all, I don't know what happened there, and I don't even know who your friend is.""You don't know, then let me help you remember." Ye Qing pressed the dagger down hard, its tip piercing Li Yuanhui's skin, and blood instantly flowed down his neck.
Li Yuanhui felt the warm blood streaming down his neck but didn't know how deep the dagger had gone. He thought his neck was about to be cut off. He was so scared he wet himself and hurriedly said, "Big Brother, Big Brother, please... please don't do it, listen... listen to what I have to say..."
"Speak." Ye Qing replied casually, but did not lift the dagger.
Feeling the pressure on his neck, Li Yuanhui said tremblingly, "Big Brother, about yesterday's incident, I... I really don't know..."
Before he could finish, Ye Qing pushed the dagger in further. Li Yuanhui screamed like a slaughtered pig, but Ye Qing punched him in the mouth.
"Scream again, and I'll cut your neck!" Ye Qing sternly shouted.
Li Yuanhui immediately shut his mouth, blood flowed from his mouth and nose after being punched by Ye Qing. He was Yang Tianyun's cousin and had a good relationship with Yang Tianyun. With Yang Tianyun's status, Li Yuanhui could walk horizontally even in Xifu City, and had never suffered such hardship. With the dagger on his neck and bleeding from his mouth and nose, Li Yuanhui felt extremely aggrieved and began to shed tears.
"A man shouldn't cry!" Ye Qing kicked him, feeling speechless. For someone in the underworld, Li Yuanhui was the most disgraceful, crying after just two punches?
Li Yuanhui wiped his tears, looking at Ye Qing with grievance, and said, "Big Brother, I..."
"Say you don't know again, and I'll kill you!" Ye Qing said straightforwardly.
Li Yuanhui immediately shut his mouth, stared at Ye Qing for a while, and then said tremblingly, "Big Brother, this... this matter was arranged by my cousin together with... with the Huang family. I'm... I'm just a small figure, I know a little, but not much. Moreover, my cousin told me that if anyone leaks the news, they'd certainly die. Big Brother, you're asking me to talk about this matter now, you're... you're just trying to get me killed!"
Ye Qing felt helpless, this guy really talks a lot. He lifted the dagger slightly, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't talk, I'll kill you directly. If you do talk, you might have a chance to escape. Whether you want to die here now or flee for a while, think about it yourself!"
Li Yuanhui said with a mournful face, "Big Brother, even if I want to escape now, where can I escape to?"
Ye Qing felt anger rising, but Fu Qingping had already walked over. He reached out and tapped several critical acupoints on Li Yuanhui's body. Li Yuanhui's expression changed instantly, and regardless of the dagger on his neck, he suddenly fell to the ground and started wailing and rolling, seemingly in extreme pain, unable to bear it.
"Why bother talking nonsense with this kind of person." Fu Qingping said softly.
Ye Qing had just noticed the acupoints Fu Qingping tapped, and they were among the most painful spots recorded in the Acupoint Seeking Technique. If targeted, it would absolutely make a person suffer intensely, wishing for death. Therefore, this method was often used for extortion.
Ye Qing originally knew these methods too, but without Inner Strength in his body now, knowing which acupoints to tap was useless. That's why he held a dagger to Li Yuanhui's neck to extort him, but Fu Qingping's method was better.
Sure enough, after a while, Li Yuanhui screamed and grabbed onto Ye Qing's leg, saying tremblingly, "Big Brother, I... I've talked... I'll tell you everything... ask me... ask me anything, just... just help me... help me..."
Fu Qingping paid him no mind and said sternly, "With this kind of person, unless they suffer for a while, they definitely won't be honest."
Ye Qing's thoughts aligned with Fu Qingping's, so they waited for three full minutes, until Li Yuanhui was in such pain he kept banging his head against the marble table, only then Fu Qingping released the acupoints.
Once the acupoints were released, the pain disappeared immediately. Li Yuanhui's wailing gradually stopped, gasping for breath while hugging the table leg, looking completely exhausted. This kind of pain, he'd never endured before in his life, never even imagined. The past few minutes felt worse than death, every second of agony made him think he'd rather die. With the pain now gone, his body kept trembling, fearful of recalling that feeling.
"Well, can you talk now?" Ye Qing asked slowly; this time he didn't even hold the dagger.
"Big Brother, I really..." Li Yuanhui tried to refuse again, but seeing Fu Qingping getting up again, he immediately wailed, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll... I'll tell you everything I know. Yesterday... yesterday's incident, I only heard it from others. This period, the Shan De Tea House isn't managed by our group, it's... it's guarded by people from the Huang family. My cousin wouldn't let me go in, I really don't know what happened inside."
Ye Qing understood now, it really involved the Huang Family. It seemed the Huang Family was clearly preparing to use this incident against him; even Liu Mubai was captured by the Huang Family!
"Say as much as you know, if you dare hide anything, you'll get another taste of that pain!" Ye Qing said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhui shivered again and hurriedly said, "This matter, just... just a while ago, there was a minor issue at Shan De Tea House, a... a very burly person broke in late at night, intending to attack my cousin. Fortunately, my cousin trained in Martial Arts with the Huang Family, otherwise…otherwise he might have been killed. Otherwise, my cousin would have been in danger this time!"
Ye Qing furrowed his brows, he knew the burly person Li Yuanhui talked about was certainly Black Bear. Black Bear originally came to this area looking for Ye Jun; why suddenly break into the Shan De Tea House to attack Yang Tianyun? Could it be Yang Tianyun's involvement with Ye Jun?
"What happened afterward?" Ye Qing asked sternly.
"That... that strong man was quite capable, demolished three rooms in the tea house, my cousin couldn't beat him. Fortunately, there were many people in the tea house, and together they managed to subdue the strong man." Li Yuanhui said, "Originally my cousin wanted to kill him, but for some reason, people from the Huang Family suddenly came and took him away. Shortly afterward, Huang Family people arrived and took over Shan De Tea House. During this time, we haven't been working there, the matters inside Shan De Tea House I've only heard about, I really don't know what happened specifically."
Li Yuanhui said these words, Ye Qing somewhat believed him. If the Huang Family wanted to deal with him, they certainly wouldn't let these small thugs stay inside Shan De Tea House, they would take over themselves. It means, now inside Shan De Tea House, it's all Huang Family people, and they're probably waiting for Ye Qing to enter.
Had it not been for Ye Jun Black Bear and Liu Mubai falling into the Huang Family's hands, Ye Qing would have charged in already. But now these three are missing, Ye Qing doesn't dare act rashly, he must first locate them.
"Is your cousin also in Shan De Tea House recently?" Ye Qing asked calmly.
"Of course he's in there." Li Yuanhui said, "My cousin is the Huang Family's son-in-law, so he's considered part of the Huang Family; the Huang Family won't hide anything from him."
"So, if I can find your cousin, I can know exactly what happened inside the Shan De Tea House?" Ye Qing asked sternly.
"This...this can be said..." Li Yuanhui said with a mournful face. He knew very well that answering this way was like pushing his cousin into the fire pit. But if he didn't answer like this, he himself would suffer.
"Very good!" Ye Qing nodded, looking at Li Yuanhui, "Want to stay alive?"
"Big Brother, I... I've told you everything I know, you... you... you said you wouldn't kill me..." Li Yuanhui said tremblingly.
"The information you gave is worthless, only the information your cousin knows is valuable!" Ye Qing said sternly, "What you told me is not enough to buy your life!"
"Then... then what do you want to do?" Li Yuanhui asked frustratedly.
Ye Qing smiled slightly, "Simple, help me get your cousin out, without the Huang Family noticing, then I'll spare your life!"
Yang Tianyun is now hiding in Shan De Tea House, with Fu Qingping's help, Ye Qing could manage to find him. But now, Shan De Tea House is filled with Huang Family people, who knows if there are experts inside. Even without experts, Ye Qing and Fu Qingping together couldn't possibly get Yang Tianyun out quietly. If news leaked, the Huang Family might harm Ye Jun and the others, which isn't what Ye Qing wants to see. Thus, the best method is to trick Yang Tianyun into coming out, avoiding alerting the Huang Family.
Ye Qing contemplating tricking Yang Tianyun out is basically impossible. However, getting Li Yuanhui to help makes this task much simpler. After all, Li Yuanhui is Yang Tianyun's cousin and has a close relationship with him, he definitely knows how to get Yang Tianyun out. Moreover, Yang Tianyun should trust Li Yuanhui very much; he wouldn't suspect that his cousin would deceive him.
