Summer Kiss

Chapter 35 Interrogation
Fu Xicheng paused for a few seconds, then chuckled lightly, "Just drop those three requests. I won't force you if you don't want to, but as your boyfriend, we should at least hold hands."

Jiang Yuning hesitated for a moment and did not respond immediately.

Seeing that the fire wasn't burning bright enough, Fu Xicheng immediately added fuel to the flames, saying, "Jiang Yuning, do you think I've done anything excessive to you?"

Jiang Yuning pondered for a moment but couldn't think of any excessive actions by Fu Xicheng.

He was very gentlemanly and elegant; she couldn't find a single fault with him.

She looked up and argued, "But we clearly agreed on this at noon, and we can't break it."

Fu Xicheng earnestly guided Jiang Yuning, reasoning with her, "Jiang Yuning, you are not a gentleman, so you don't have to abide by these rules and regulations."

Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, seemingly persuaded by Fu Xicheng. She raised her fist and clenched it, saying, "If you dare to take advantage of me, I'll knock your teeth out."

Fu Xicheng couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing instantly.

His tone was teasing, "If I don't open my mouth, how are you going to hit me?"

Jiang Yuning was helpless against Fu Xicheng; she couldn't win an argument with him at all. She pouted, looking a little aggrieved.

"You even said I was your girlfriend, but you don't give me any leeway at all."

The next second, Fu Xicheng opened his mouth, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, "Go ahead and get it done. It's on me, you don't need to pay for the dental work."

Jiang Yuning pursed her lips, hiding her smile. She felt she had spent too much time with Fu Xicheng.

"Fu Xicheng, I'm going back."

Fu Xicheng led Jiang Yuning back by the hand. As they walked, Jiang Yuning kicked at the pebbles on the roadside, feeling very content.

Jiang Yuning started the car, and Fu Xicheng bent down and pressed his face against the car window. "Aren't you going to say a word to your boyfriend?"

Jiang Yuning waved her hand and said two words, "Bye-bye."

Fu Xicheng smiled as he watched Jiang Yuning's car drive away. Other people's girlfriends might give their boyfriends a farewell kiss, but what about Jiang Yuning?
He can only say "bye-bye," it seems it's time for him to gradually get Jiang Yuning to take the initiative.

Fu Xicheng entered the studio, found the gift box containing the belt, and at that moment, his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Xu Yansheng's number. He answered it immediately.

"Fu Xicheng, all the people who chased Shen Xici at the mall today have been caught and are currently being held in an abandoned car repair shop in the north of the city. Do you want to come over now?"

Fu Xicheng's eyes were as black as night. He closed the door to the studio, got into the car, and placed his hands on the steering wheel. "You keep an eye on things, I'll be there in a bit."

Fu Xicheng drove back to the suburban villa. When he entered the villa, he saw Shen Xici sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone.

He stood at the doorway, not going any further inside. "Come with me somewhere?"

Shen Xici's face was pale. He looked up and asked weakly, "Where are we going?"

Fu Xicheng didn't tell him the exact location, but instead kept him in suspense, saying, "You'll find out when you get there."

When Shen Xici arrived at the place Fu Xicheng had described, he looked around and found it to be dilapidated. The gate was rusty and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, as if no one had been there for a long time.

Shen Xici suddenly understood Fu Xicheng's purpose in bringing him here.

As he walked deeper into the abandoned repair shop, just as he had expected, all the men who had chased him during the day were now bound hand and foot. Fu Xicheng was incredibly efficient; he had to admire him.

Fu Xicheng stepped forward and, without saying a word, kicked the man who had provoked him earlier that day to the ground.

He glanced at Shen Xici with disdain. "Ask whatever you want." Shen Xici replied calmly, "You don't need to be like that."

Fu Xicheng said coldly, "Do you think I'm helping you? Shen Xici, you don't have that kind of face. I just don't want the girl who saved you today to get involved, so sometimes I like to nip things in the bud."

Shen Xici lowered his eyes, conveying a sense of aloofness.

He had witnessed Fu Xicheng's methods firsthand; he always did whatever he pleased, but he had never heard of him eliminating anyone outright.

"This is the first time I've heard you say you don't want to get involved with anyone. Has Brother Fu fallen in love?"

Fu Xicheng's gaze was deep, his dark eyes shooting out a bone-chilling coldness. He urged him, "Interrogate them quickly and get the information you want from them. If it weren't for you, I would have dealt with these people long ago."

Shen Xici took a few steps forward and found that the people tied to the ground and hanging in mid-air were all bruised and swollen, and had been beaten so badly that they were unrecognizable.

Upon seeing a familiar face, he walked up to a man tied to a stake and asked the question he wanted to ask.

"Where will your boss meet with Third Master Xiang for the transaction two days from now?"

The man spat out a mouthful of saliva, his eyes half-open, which were purple from the beating. "I'd rather die than tell."

Shen Xici knew very well that some people would not reveal a single word even if their teeth were knocked out, but others might not be able to withstand the torture and would confess.

"It seems you are very loyal to your boss."

"Shen Xici, is this how you interrogate people? Should I teach them a lesson and beat them until they cry for their parents, then they'll confess?"

The speaker was Xu Yansheng, who was casually sitting on a dilapidated chair, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Xici.

Shen Xici shook his head. They had already been beaten up, but they still hadn't given him any information.

It's clear that beating them up would only waste your energy.

Shen Xici: "They're very stubborn."

Xu Yansheng kicked over the chair at his feet, picked up a leather whip, and prepared to find someone to hit.

"Stubborn as they are? Let's see if their words are tougher, or my fists are tougher."

Shen Xici disagreed with Xu Yansheng's approach, "You beat them black and blue, did they utter a single word to you?"

Xu Yansheng shook his head, recalling the scene of beating them up earlier. Although one of them had several teeth knocked out, he hadn't made a sound.

"That's not true."

After fiddling with these people's phones, Fu Xicheng stood aside and watched. At this moment, he suddenly spoke, his words laced with contempt and sarcasm.

"Shen Xici, is this all you've got?"

Shen Xici's dangerous eyes narrowed. "Brother Fu thinks it's easy? Why don't you take a look?"

Fu Xicheng never does business at a loss; he always likes to set conditions.

He said, "If I can get the information out of you, what benefits are you planning to give me?"

Shen Xici: "..."

Shen Xici really wanted to mock Fu Xicheng to his face: "You're already incredibly wealthy, you have money and power, what more could you want?"
