After a pause, Jiang Yao said, “As long as we can get something useful, it doesn’t matter if they’re dead or alive. If they cooperate, then we’ll leave them alive.”

After saying that, Jiang Yao looked at the two people and asked, “Can you understand what I’m saying?”

Their eyes moved, but they did not give Jiang Yao any reaction. Ah Lu raised his legs and kicked them. “I know that both of you can understand us. Don’t play dumb with me!”

Then, Ah Lu asked Jiang Yao, “Director Jiang, do you want to go up and wait? The interrogation might not be pleasant.”

“Do I need to wait until you’re done?” Jiang Yao did not even frown. “Go ahead, do it your way. Don’t worry about me. I’m not as timid as you think.”

Ah Lu thought about it and agreed. If Jiang Yao were a timid girl, she would not have joined the mission.

“How about this? Let’s play a fun game.” When Ah Lu saw Jiang Yao sitting there calmly, he did not worry about her anymore. He took a sharp military knife from his boot and played with it in his hand. “Let me ask you a question. I won’t touch you if you answer first. I’m sorry if you’re slow. I’ll break your thumb with this knife.”

At that point, Ah Lu laughed evilly. “Don’t look at the knife as if it’s very powerful. The knife has been with me for so many years; it’s already very dull. One slash will not take off your finger. It needs to be like this.”

Ah Lu took the knife and placed it on the abandoned ceramic wine jar, slowly grinding it up and down. The sound produced by the friction between the two objects made one shudder.

One only needed to imagine that the wine jar was an adult’s finger. He could slowly cut it with the knife, and there were ten fingers. The pain was enough to make one faint just thinking about it.

Jiang Yao observed the two people. As expected, their expressions changed significantly; they looked terrified.

“The first question is who sent you to monitor Director Jiang?” As Ah Lu spoke, he deliberately used the military knife to rub against the wine jar.

The two people on the ground looked at each other and fell silent. It was obvious that they had decided not to say anything.

“Add another rule.” Jiang Yao suddenly opened her mouth to break the silence. “Since both of them are not going to say anything, then both of them will get punished together. I want to see how long they can resist. It’s still the same. I only want the answer that I want. This is not your debt. You are just doing things for others. Once you give us the answer, I will give you a sum of money. In the future, you can go wherever you want to go.”

However, the two people still did not say anything. Jiang Yao turned her head and said to Ah Lu, “Do it.”

Jiang Yao’s tone was crisp, and Ah Lu’s movements were swift. However, Ah Lu’s agility was only limited to the moment he struck with the knife. One of the men’s thumbs immediately spurted out blood. That person’s pained screams almost caused the cellar to collapse.

Ah Lu held the knife as if he was cutting up a piece of pork. Even though the cellar was dimly lit, Jiang Yao could still clearly see the bones on the person’s right thumb.

“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” The man was so scared that he almost peed himself. “I’m working for Master Zhu! I’m working for Master Zhu!”

The uninjured man suddenly roared at the man who claimed to be working for Master Zhu.

Jiang Yao did not understand the language, but Ah Lu did.

Ah Lu stepped on the man’s broken thumb. “Shut up!”
