Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 633 - 618: A Deal

The words almost choked Yu Lingfeng, who stood up and walked in front of Tangyu, their eyes locking in a stare. Although no fight had ensued, the air was ripe with the smell of gunpowder, and the atmosphere turned incredibly tense. Yu Lingfeng, as the deputy leader of the Xuanwu Group, was after all a top-notch expert. Every member of the Xuanwu Group was a force to be reckoned with; each was a King of Soldiers and the ruler among the Special Forces, equipped with exceptional skills. They were masters, and so was Tangyu.

When it came to fighting skills, Tangyu was confident he could take on Yu Lingfeng and his five men without fear. But now was not the time for mere brawling; the matter at hand involved guns, lethal weapons, and the skills to kill. If it really came down to it, Tangyu clearly had no advantage. Furthermore, this was the Xuanwu Group’s training camp; who knew how many warriors were outside? To start a fight here would be no different from courting death, and it would be an especially gruesome one at that.

Yu Lingfeng sneered coldly, "Interesting, quite interesting indeed. Not many people dare to speak to me this way. If I say I really dislike you, maybe I’d consider recruiting you into the Xuanwu Group."

"Keep disliking me, please, and never like me, otherwise I’ll vomit. I’m not interested in whatever Xuanwu Group you’re talking about," Tangyu said.

A flash of coldness crossed Yu Lingfeng’s face as he sneered, "Your ability to talk big is indeed first-class. Since you’re a smart man, I’ll get straight to the point—let’s make a deal."

"A deal?" Tangyu squinted and chuckled lightly, "You, make a deal with me? Even if you believe that, I don’t."

"Two months ago, my Xuanwu Group deployed four warriors to Donglin City to carry out a mission—to capture a traitor of the Xuanwu Group. They could have successfully brought the traitor back, but you appeared and ruined their plan, and even rescued the traitor, resulting in the death of four warriors of my Xuanwu Group in battle, gloriously sacrificing themselves for the country. You, Tangyu, surely remember that," Yu Lingfeng said, his voice laced with anger.

Tangyu curled his lip, "Seems like you got it backwards. I didn’t kill those people; it has nothing to do with me. Whether it’s about traitors or not, don’t tell me, I have no idea about the details of the case."

"If I say you killed them, then you killed them; if I say you didn’t, then you didn’t. Since I managed to find you, it means I have sufficient evidence to pin the blame on you. No matter the case, anything the Xuanwu Group wants to investigate, we will certainly uncover the truth," Yu Lingfeng said resolutely, his imposing presence seemingly able to control everything.

Tangyu shrugged and replied, "If that’s the case, why bother bringing me here with so much effort? If you can find out what you want, why make a deal with me?"

"Making this deal with you is giving you a chance, a chance to live. We would undoubtedly find out the truth, but it’s just a matter of time. You haven’t been exposed by us yet, but I don’t want to kill lightly, that’s why I’m giving you this opportunity," Yu Lingfeng explained.

"Oh really, should I change my opinion about you then? But I don’t think you’re that virtuous. We’re strangers, and you’re not some girl; do you think just by saying this, I’ll believe you? At first, I thought we were both smart, but now I feel I need to reassess," Tangyu said mockingly.

"Don’t you think that now would be a good time to refrain from such comments?" Yu Lingfeng pointed out.

Tangyu pursed his lips and responded, "I don’t think so. If you want to kill me, no matter what I say, you’ll do it. If you don’t want to kill me, no matter what I say, you won’t. We’re not children to throw a tantrum over a few words, are we? If that’s the case, then I can only say I’m unlucky."

"You should understand my meaning. Tell us all you know, and the moment we catch the person, you’re free to go. Of course, you have a second option: to continue claiming you know nothing. I’m pretty much okay with everything except I’m not very patient. I don’t have that much time for you—twelve hours, just twelve hours. After that, I’m not giving you any chances. As I said, whatever the Xuanwu Group sets out to find, we will find it, it’s just a matter of time. This is your only chance, and if you’re smart, I trust you know how to choose," Yu Lingfeng asserted. frёeωebɳovel.com

A cold sneer echoed in Tangyu’s mind. Such pretty words, so noble-sounding, were nothing but a disguise for his ugly nature, which only deepened Tangyu’s contempt. Not to mention Tangyu truly didn’t know where Young Master Yu was, even if he did, he wouldn’t stoop so low out of desperation for self-preservation. It wasn’t just for Young Master Yu; Tangyu himself could never stoop to such a level. How could a man bow down and submit out of fear for his own life?

If word got out, how could Tangyu face the world? Ignoring how others might see him, Tangyu couldn’t even respect himself, and if he couldn’t overcome this hurdle within, how could he face others?

Obviously, Tangyu was not going to comply.

"I don’t understand what you mean. I’ll say this just once: I’m not acquainted with the so-called traitor you’re talking about, not one bit. We merely crossed paths once. I don’t know their whereabouts. And just to clarify, even if I did know, I wouldn’t tell you. It’s as simple as that," Tangyu declared.

Yu Lingfeng’s expression turned slightly colder, with a chill in his eyes as he looked at Tangyu. "So you’re really choosing punishment over toast? You’ve treated that traitor, saved him twice, and you’ve been in contact with him. Do you think I would believe you don’t know the traitor’s whereabouts? I was going to give you twelve hours, but now I’m not pleased, so I’ve decided to give you only six hours to think it over. You’d better think it through before answering me. Even if you aren’t afraid of dying, you should consider your friends and your girlfriend. Think carefully."

Tangyu stretched lazily, yawning. "It’s gotten so late, almost daybreak. I’m really a bit tired. You guys are stingy here, not even providing a bed, let alone a decent chair. Whatever, I can’t be bothered to argue, I’ll just make do." After saying that, Tangyu plopped down and dozed off.

"Even if you would rather die than speak, it’s no problem. I have plenty of ways to force that traitor to show himself. As long as I have your life in my hands, I can make him come obediently," Yu Lingfeng said.

Tangyu scoffed, "Only someone like you could be so despicable. It really suits you. Between brothers, there should be no grudge that can’t be resolved, yet you persecute your own brother like this, and have the nerve to put on this facade. To be honest, I despise you. Anyone with a slight sense of justice would despise you. I’m somewhat surprised. Are people from the Xuanwu Group so spineless to follow the orders of such a despicable person? You truly don’t deserve to be soldiers."

"Shut up," Yu Lingfeng barked sharply.

"Hit a nerve, have I? You are infuriated because I’m right. Although I’m not too clear on some of the details here, I trust my intuition, I can still discern right from wrong. At least, using my life as a threat to coerce the so-called traitor to appear, such a despicable and scheming act would certainly not come from a gentleman. Since you are so certain that your so-called traitor will reveal himself due to my life being threatened, it shows that he is someone who repays kindness, unlike you, a lowlife. It’s easy to see who is good and who is bad. Hmph, and you dare to claim you are part of the Xuanwu Group? In my eyes, you’re nothing but a scourge to your group, and I can’t detect even a hint of the national sharp edge you’re supposed to embody," Tangyu mocked with cold sarcasm.

Yu Lingfeng indeed became enraged with humiliation. He had somewhat lost control over handling this matter, his icy gaze fixed on Tangyu: "If you wish to die sooner, I can fulfill that wish. He is a traitor to our Xuanwu Group, with iron-clad evidence. All of us in the Xuanwu Group are warriors loyal to our country and our people. I am merely putting justice before familial love."

"There is no lack of words to condemn a man, should one wish to charge him. Anyway, don’t bother telling me these things; I’m just an outsider. That’s enough; I want to rest now. If you want to stay here with me, that’s up to you, but I won’t bother with any more chatter," Tangyu said impatiently.

"Let’s go," Yu Lingfeng commanded coldly, and the five men left, soon leaving Tangyu alone in the secret room.

However, even though Tangyu was alone, he had already noticed the well-hidden surveillance cameras in the room, his every move being monitored.

Tangyu was quite annoyed by this situation, having become embroiled in such a whirlpool without any good reason. The affairs of the Xuanwu Group, the issues of the Yu Family in Capital City, they had nothing to do with Tangyu, but now he had to pay the price for it, which was incredibly frustrating. Although Tangyu didn’t want to get involved, it had fallen into his lap, and he couldn’t ignore it. He wasn’t clear on all the details, but one thing was certain: Yu Lingfeng was certainly no good bird. Compared to him, the young master of the Yu Family whom he had saved had given Tangyu a very favorable impression. It might just be internal family strife, a war for power and position.

"I wonder how Feifei and the others are doing," Tangyu shook his head, his thoughts turning to Lin Feifei and the others. Escaping was not going to be easy.

Yu Lingfeng, with anger apparent on his face, walked out, the four members of the Xuanwu Group following behind him.

"Hmph, annoying, he has quite the sharp tongue," Yu Lingfeng grunted angrily.

One member of the Xuanwu Group said, "Commander Yu, do we really need to resort to such extreme measures? It’s unlikely he’s the killer; should we be using him as a bargaining chip?"

Yu Lingfeng instantly swept him with a cold glare, rebuking loudly, "Are you questioning my decision? Or do you think I’m being overly harsh as well? Yu Lingtian is a traitor, a traitor to our Xuanwu Group, a disgrace to our Yu Family. I am cleaning up our house, choosing justice over kinship. Are you saying that the way I do things is wrong? Our Xuanwu Group lost four brothers to his hands; blood demands a blood price. If Yu Lingfeng doesn’t die, then our Xuanwu Group will bear the stigma. We’ve looked for two months; I gave you two months to find Yu Lingtian, and it’s your incompetence that’s forced me to resort to this. If you had found Yu Lingtian earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this. Also, make this clear: Tangyu got involved too, so that doesn’t prove he’s innocent. Even if he’s not the main culprit, he’s definitely an accomplice. I have every right to sentence him to death."

"I was wrong, Commander Yu," the member of the Xuanwu Group immediately bowed his head.

Yu Lingfeng surveyed the other three members, "Make sure you all understand this as well. Is that clear?"

"Understood," the three replied in unison, nodding.
