Chapter 41: Cruelty (4th Update)
Ah!
In an instant, excruciating pain pierced through Yu Runming's heart, causing his facial features to contort as his screams echoed through the air.
"Why scream so loudly? I can hear you," Su Jie said as he dug his ear, his face displaying an indifferent expression.
"My hand, it hurts so much, it's a misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding, I give up."
At that moment, Yu Runming was truly frightened. In Su Jie's calm expression, he could see not a trace of mercy or sympathy.
To the other party, it was as if he was stepping on an ant; his life meant nothing.
Su Jie squatted down, patted Yu Runming's face, which had twisted out of shape from pain, and chuckled, "Tsk tsk, look at you now. Didn't you say I would come back begging you? How the tables have turned, this isn't right!"
"My uncle... my uncle is the chairman of Yikang, I will persuade him... persuade him not to oppose you. Let me go back, and I will speak for you, I will stand up for you."
"Ha, wait, you'll persuade him not to oppose me? The problem now is, I don't want to let him go!"
Su Jie's face revealed a devilish grin as he pulled out a handful of human-faced moths from his pocket.
"What are you going to do, stop, stop… I beg you..."
At the sight of the human-faced moths, Yu Runming's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, his voice altering from extreme fear.
"My little pets want to have some fun with you."
Su Jie placed the human-faced moths on Yu Runming's chest, where they opened their jaws wide and started ripping his flesh voraciously.
They then proceeded to crawl inside his rib cage, burrowing into his viscera to gnaw.
Some burrowed into his limbs along the blood vessels and muscles.
The intense pain caused Yu Runming to spasm and convulse. This sensation of insects gnawing inside his body brought unbearable pain, far beyond imagination.
He could only emit a series of inhuman screams, sounds of pain and despair echoing repeatedly through the woods.
"Mr. Su, Brother Su, I only followed Yu Runming's orders, it's not my fault. I can testify against his crimes for you, help you put him in jail."
Mountain Mule, the leader of these gangsters, seeing Su Jie's method of handling Yu Runming, lost all his spine and immediately sold out Yu Runming without a second thought.
Su Jie turned his head, touched his chin and smiled lightly, "I remember, didn't you say you wanted to gouge out my eyes."
"That was just a joke, all a joke."
Mountain Mule's heart skipped a beat as he met Su Jie's gaze and then saw Su Jie's eyes turn a light purple.
The next moment, two weakened Purple Light Rays emitted, accurately melting Mountain Mule's eyes into bloody holes.
"My eyes…"
Mountain Mule collapsed in agony, clutching his eye sockets and screaming continuously.
"I can't tell the difference between a joke and the truth," said Su Jie nonchalantly, turning his gaze to the others.
Seeing how Su Jie dealt with Yu Runming and Mountain Mule, the other gangsters were completely dumbfounded.
They were usually involved in petty thuggish acts and had never encountered a merciless killer like Su Jie, who possessed superpowers they could never hope to counter.
At that moment, each gangster's eyes filled with regret for why they had gotten involved in such a business rivalry.
While others' business competition involved making money, Su Jie's involved taking lives!
And they had foolishly plunged into it, becoming pawns in the business conflict, standing on the opposing side of Su Jie, which was exactly like seeking death by holding a lantern in the toilet.
"Big brother, please spare us. We only got paid to do the job, we don't know anything else."
"It was Brother Ming and Mountain Mule's idea to poison, it has nothing to do with me. I tried to dissuade them."
"Don't kill me, I'm only nineteen years old, I don't want to die!"
These gangsters begged for mercy one after another, but Su Jie remained emotionlessly unmoved from beginning to end.
"Since you showed up here tonight, you should be aware of the consequences."
Su Jie's voice was calm; too much blood had stained his hands for the scene before him to stir any emotion.
"If you dare kill someone, the police will definitely find you. You won't escape."
One of the hoodlums, realizing his fate, understood that they could not struggle against such a reckless superpower user and could only hope that Su Jie would be punished by the law.
"Please, we live under the rule of law now. Your disappearance has nothing to do with me. I've never met you. I've been home eating a late-night snack all evening. How would the police ever suspect me?"
Su Jie scoffed and turned away, walking step by step toward the forest, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
In the woods, a dense Human-faced Moth Cloud descended, devouring all flesh and traces, relieving Su Jie of any worries.
Amidst the screams, Su Jie looked up at the moonlight and chuckled, "The moonlight is beautiful! It's been a while since I've killed; I'm almost out of practice."
......
In a luxurious villa in Guangyi County.
Liu Yingying hummed a song while preparing a late-night snack for Su Jie.
At home, she wore light clothes, her attractive figure clearly visible.
"Su Jie, the spicy crayfish is ready. Come and eat."
Spicy crayfish and several other dishes were brought to the table, along with some cold beer taken out from the refrigerator, but Liu Yingying saw no sign of Su Jie.
"Strange, he just asked me to make a late-night snack. Where did he go?"
Just as Liu Yingying was about to look for him, she saw Su Jie walk back in from the balcony.
"What were you doing on the balcony? You didn't even hear me calling you for the snack."
Su Jie wrapped his arms around Liu Yingying's slender waist and smiled, "Enjoying the night view. Don't you think the moonlight is beautiful tonight!"
"Let's eat the snack first."
Liu Yingying slapped Su Jie's hand gently, feigning anger.
They sat at the dining table, eating the late-night snack and chatting about amusing incidents that had happened to them, and discussing company matters.
"You must be really tired recently."
Towards the end of the meal, Su Jie showed concern for his secretary.
"There haven't been any major changes in the structure of Mu Hua Company, and all employees have been retained, making it quite stable. It's just that there's been a lot of handover work lately. Once things settle down, I'll have an easier time."
Liu Yingying, somewhat materialistic, actually reveled in this commanding lifestyle, controlling a company with thousands of employees and managing billions in funds. She was addicted to this feeling.
It is said that power is an aphrodisiac for men, and it is the same for women.
"Don't work too hard. Once you're done with this busy period, I'll take you on a holiday. We haven't really enjoyed a honeymoon vacation yet."
"Really?"
Liu Yingying's eyes lit up with anticipation.
"Of course. I've planned it all out already."
Su Jie brought over a map with cities circled in red ink through which their journey would pass.
Quite coincidentally, one of the cities was Xinzheng City, where Yikang Company's headquarters was located.
"I love you, Su Jie. You're so good to me."
Liu Yingying peeled a crayfish and brought it to Su Jie's mouth, her face brimming with joy.
"I'm this good to you, how will you repay me?"
After eating the crayfish that Liu Yingying had peeled for him, Su Jie peeled another one and handed it over.
"Hmm, whatever you want."
While eating the crayfish, Liu Yingying also sucked on Su Jie's fingers, her gaze filled with coquettish allure.
"If my late-night snack hasn't filled me up, let's add another grand meal."
Su Jie picked up Liu Yingying amidst her screams, and the room gradually filled with suggestive noises as a new opulent meal was served.
