That kind of pain was not the same as being dismembered. It was tormenting him bit by bit, torturing his spirit and his physical strength.
As soon as he fell asleep, he would immediately be whipped until he woke up again.
However, they would always avoid hitting his vital points when they whipped him. They would not kill him. They would only wake him up from the pain. However, he would not be able to hold on and would continue to close his eyes. He would continue to be whipped again and again.
He had not closed his eyes to rest ever since he escaped. Ah Da was so exhausted that he did not even have the strength to struggle.
“You still don’t want to tell me?”
Lu Xingzhi dragged a chair and sat down. “Is it that hard? You’re going to die anyway. You don’t have to be tortured before you die. If you tell me, I’ll give you a quick death.”
“What’s the difference?”
Ah Da’s pupils did not even move as he spoke. He was like a blind man as he turned toward the source of the sound.
“You’re wrong.” Lu Xingzhi’s voice was distant and carried a hint of ridicule. “Are you human? I only treat beasts like this. The word human does not apply to you. ”
Ah Da pursed his lips and did not say a word, so Lu Xingzhi stood up. He turned around and said to the police officer beside him. “Continue to stand guard. Don’t let him out of your sight. If he dares to close his eyes, hit him mercilessly!”
Then, Lu Xingzhi left the interrogation room. There was no progress there, so he needed to spend his time elsewhere.
Lu Xingzhi asked the other police officers to find Sergeant Ge’s wife and son’s room. The police officer who led them to claim the body was investigating the mother and son to see if they had any information.
Sergeant Ge’s wife did not have any helpful information. Lu Xingzhi listened for a few minutes and then left. He drove back to the hospital.
He missed Jiang Yao, even though they had only been separated for a few hours.
Lu Xingzhi found Jiang Yao in Colonel Lin’s ward. Zhou Weiqi pushed Jiang Yao in a wheelchair to visit Colonel Lin.
Colonel Lin still had the same cheerful personality. When he saw Jiang Yao sitting in a wheelchair and listening to Zhou Weiqi recount the danger Jiang Yao encountered, Colonel Lin simply treated Jiang Yao’s experience as if it were a story.
“If you don’t die from a plane crash, there will definitely be good fortune in the future.”
Colonel Lin used those words to comfort Jiang Yao, but he only said that because he was excited. Then, he coughed twice quietly.
