Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 2860: Chapter 2860: Merely One Of The Targets

Yu Qi took mental note of every single reaction. It was glaringly obvious that Master Liang’s name was far from foreign to them.

“Well… You lot had better start confessing now if you value your lives.” Yu Qi urged softly.

Finally, one of the bound evil cultivators gathered enough courage to lift his head.

“I… I have definitely heard that name mentioned before!” The cultivator admitted in a panic.

Wong Fu Siang snapped his head toward his subordinate instantly.

“What utter garbage are you spewing?!” Wong Fu Siang roared furiously.

The evil cultivator flinched at his leader’s terrifying bark, but his desire to survive won out.

“I am telling the absolute truth! I have personally heard you speak that name multiple times before!” The subordinate insisted loudly.

Wong Fu Siang’s complexion turned a frighteningly dark shade of purple.

“Shut your filthy mouth!” Wong Fu Siang barked viciously.

Unfortunately for him, his threats no longer carried an ounce of weight. His subordinates could see his pathetic state clearly. He was no longer the supreme, terrifying leader who held absolute power over their lives.

The evil cultivator swallowed hard before spilling the beans completely.

“We know his name, even if we have never met the man in person! He was the main contact who brokered the original deal to supply human livestock to this island! He provided the bodies, and we paid the cash. It was purely a business transaction!” The man confessed, laying out the entire operation in broad daylight.

Wong Fu Siang was practically bursting a blood vessel from sheer rage upon hearing his subordinate’s betrayal.

Everything was completely ruined.

He had never imagined his own loyal subordinate would fold and betray him so effortlessly. He had spent years meticulously covering his tracks, only for this fool to blow the whole lid off in a matter of seconds.

“Now then… Do you still wish to claim you have no idea who Master Liang is?” Yu Qi turned back toward Wong Fu Siang, her voice laced with a chilling bite.

Wong Fu Siang clamped his jaw shut and remained dead silent. His mind was wildly spinning out of control. It was true that he had conducted major business with an intermediary representing Master Liang, but he had never personally met the mysterious man behind the curtain.

He had never dreamed that his covert transactions with Master Liang would eventually draw these powerful monsters directly to his secret hideout.

Yet, there was one major piece of the puzzle that Wong Fu Siang could not wrap his head around.

If these people had truly come hunting for him because of Master Liang, why hadn’t they brought up his name the moment they breached the estate?

Instead, they had gone through the trouble of rescuing those two Dian Family girls, slaughtering his men in a full-scale battle, and only now were they finally dropping Master Liang’s name.

Could it be that they had been conducting a deep, secret investigation into his faction for months?

The terrifying thought sent a cold shiver down his spine.

However, Wong Fu Siang had completely misread the entire sequence of events.

In reality, Yu Qi and her companions had no concrete idea where his exact base of operations was located. They certainly had not anticipated that the human traffickers would capture Dian Chi Ne and Dian Wan Ye and deliver them straight to Wong Fu Siang, the very target they were seeking. They had simply followed their original rescue plan to locate the captives and eradicate whichever faction was behind the kidnapping.

It was purely by a stroke of ironic fate that everything had fallen seamlessly into place the moment they breached the mansion.

Yu Qi quietly scrutinised Wong Fu Siang’s shifting expression. She could tell he was holding back deeper secrets, but she had no intention of wasting hours trying to coax the truth out of him politely.

There were countless brutal ways to force a man to speak. And she possessed all the time in the world.

“Wong Fu Siang, let me spell things out clearly for you.” Yu Qi’s voice grew infinitely colder. “We already know your full identity, and we are well aware that you are the ringleader behind the systematic kidnapping of innocent civilians on this island. We also know that you and your subordinates have been murdering and devouring humans to fuel your evil cultivation.”

“You…!” Wong Fu Siang’s face drained of what little colour it had left.

“Did you honestly think we barged into your territory completely blind?” Yu Qi cut him off before he could speak. “We did not travel all the way to this remote island just to save two people. We came here to systematically tear down every major player behind this operation. You are merely one of the targets on our hit list.”

Wong Fu Siang’s heart plunged into a bottomless pit of despair.

Merely one of the targets?!

Did that mean they were actively hunting down the massive, overarching syndicate behind him?!

He had always proudly believed that his operations on Manhe Island were completely invisible to the outside world. Even if the authorities noticed a few missing tourists, they would never be able to trace the breadcrumbs back to his hidden mansion. Yet, the formidable people standing in front of him had not only uncovered his location effortlessly, but they had also shattered his defensive array into dust within seconds.

To make matters infinitely worse, they had slaughtered over fifty elite dark cultivators and captured him like a helpless dog.

Who in the world were these monsters?!

“Now, I am going to ask you one more time. What is your true connection to Master Liang?” Yu Qi demanded, leaning forward slightly as her sharp gaze locked onto his.
