Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Confinement is a form of torture that is particularly prone to problems, and very problematic ones at that.

Why do I say that? Because if an ordinary person is locked up for just one week, they're practically ruined.

Even if this person is truly strong-willed, cheerful, and doesn't suffer from bipolar disorder or depression, they will still inevitably be haunted by lifelong trauma.

If it's closed for several weeks or even months...
Ximen Lang didn't know what others were like.

Anyway, he definitely couldn't withstand such a long period of torment.

Even if they are saved, they might drool over things for the rest of their lives.

Furthermore, they simply didn't have that much time to waste dealing with this enemy agent.
"Let's keep it simple. Let's start by pricking him with needles. Insert a few steel needles into each fingernail first. After all the needles are in, we'll see if we need to put pepper spray in his eyes."

Without further ado, Ximen Lang pulled out a handful of steel needles from who-knows-where and immediately called out to Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and hold him down! Can't you see I've already taken out the steel needles?!"

Without saying a word, he called out to Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng, and they immediately pinned the enemy agent to the spot.

Ignoring Bai Ling and Lao Luo's hesitant expressions, Ximen Lang began to persuade them on his own.

"Come on, don't be afraid. Ah, this thing might hurt a little, but don't struggle. The more you struggle, the more it will hurt."

It was clear that Ximen Lang was actually serious!
With the help of Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng, those two big, silly guys who love to watch the drama unfold, they couldn't even be described as steel needles anymore; they were practically steel nails!

The steel nail had even reached into his fingernail!

Although his rank was indeed quite high, the enemy agent, who clearly had little experience with torture, became anxious at that moment.

"No, you could at least ask first! Who starts by using torture?!"

"Ask a question? Oh, didn't I just ask?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng immediately exchanged glances.
"Well, we got so busy getting started that we didn't really have time to ask."

"I didn't ask. Ugh, this is so troublesome. Okay, then let me ask you, are you hiring?"

"I"

"You still won't confess! Come on, use torture, use torture!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"You can say whatever you want after I've finished stabbing him! You there, you there, find something to gag him! He's not allowed to speak until the torture is over!"

They genuinely had no intention of giving the enemy agent a chance to speak.

Hao Pingchuan struggled for a long time but couldn't manage to stuff the worn-out sock, whose owner was unknown, into the enemy agent's mouth.

Ximen Lang immediately threw a punch, slamming it into the enemy agent's stomach.

The enemy agent screamed in pain.

Hao Pingchuan took the opportunity to stuff the smelly socks into his mouth.

The world is finally quiet again.

After hesitating for a moment, Ximen Lang put the steel needle down again.

"What's wrong? Can't bring yourself to do it? If you can't, just say so. I'll get a professional. After a few rounds, we'll definitely get him to confess everything he needs to!"

The specific process is far too bloody and could cause various physical and psychological discomforts, so it will not be described in detail here.

In any case, the torture that Ximen Lang just mentioned was not only completed, but completed very quickly.

So fast that Lao Luo and Bai Ling didn't even have time to react before the enemy agent was in excruciating pain and began to struggle violently.

The movement was so great that Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng almost lost control of him!
Most importantly, from beginning to end, Ximen Lang never showed the slightest sign of reluctance.

this.
So cruel?
This is unlike Ximen Lang's usual style.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to personally endure such severe torture, let alone watch a chicken being slaughtered!

What's going on here?
What the hell is going on?
I'm genuinely worried that Ximen Lang might have some kind of mental problem.

(They were punished, and the same thing happened before, but I can't show it. You'll have to use your imagination here.)
Bai Ling quickly pressed down on Ximen Lang's hand.

He asked, his eyes filled with worry.

"Are you OK?"

"Me? Of course I'm fine."

"Nothing wrong? Then what's wrong with you?"

With another quick combo punch, the enemy agent was knocked unconscious from the pain once again.

Ximen Lang then explained the reason.

"I still find it hard to bring myself to do it. After all, this thing isn't just cruel to him, it's cruel to me too. But when I think about how they treated us back then, even a thousand times, ten thousand times more cruel than what I just did! Suddenly I can bring myself to do it!"

"I'll do anything! Waterboarding, electric shocks, I'm fine with any of that! I just want them to experience the hardships and suffering we went through back then! To let them know how we got through it all!"

That's really the case.

It is simply too numerous to describe in words!

The crimes they committed back then were far too numerous!
Even the principal, who once carried the Zhongzheng Book on his back and saved the bald man's life, was tormented by them and developed chronic illnesses, and his health has not improved to this day.

Not to mention those predecessors who have already sacrificed their lives.

It was precisely because of this that Ximen Lang was able to bring himself to do such a ruthless thing.

"Of course, in the end, we are still family. At least for now, before you completely wear down my patience, I am still willing to acknowledge you as my compatriots, my brothers."

"But the premise is that you don't remain obstinate and don't repeatedly challenge my bottom line! Otherwise, believe me, you will definitely regret it!"

Although Ximen Lang did not explicitly state what they would regret or what ruthless methods he would use.

But the meaning was definitely conveyed effectively.

Therefore, it was astonishing to see that Ximen Lang, this madman, was so ruthless.

The enemy agent, who was far from being particularly professional or dedicated, dared not continue feigning death. He immediately revealed a pleading expression and began to confess. Yes, it was that fast.

In no time at all, Ximen Lang completely broke through the enemy agent's psychological defenses.

"So, what do you think? I told you, with Brother Lang on the scene, one man is worth two! You didn't believe me. Now what do you say? I just used a little trick, and I took him down! What do you say about this?!"

Yes, I'm that happy.

Because the enemy agent was indeed captured by Ximen Lang with a simple trick, he was that proud of himself.

As soon as he stepped out of the interrogation room, Ximen Lang started showing off to Bai Ling and Lao Luo.

His frivolous behavior was so offensive that Bai Ling couldn't bear to look at him.

Seeing Ximen Lang so smug, Bai Ling was speechless.

"That's enough. So what if you took down one enemy agent? And one who wasn't even professionally trained, just someone who specializes in sabotage. What's there to be proud of? Over the years, we've taken down countless enemy agents! When have I ever boasted about this to you?"

Bai Ling genuinely felt that Ximen Lang's actions were nothing to brag about.

Given the enemy agent's condition at the time, anyone in his place would have fared no worse.

There was absolutely no difficulty involved, so what's there to be proud of?
Bai Ling's opinion is certainly not wrong, but from Lao Luo's completely different perspective, it is quite remarkable.

"Because Ah Lang is different from you; you're a professional. Not only is this your forte, but you're also an outstanding graduate of the intelligence program at Moscow Central University! With so many years of work experience, of course you'll find it easy!"

"But Ah Lang is a complete novice. He has never been exposed to any of these things, and he has hardly even heard of them! Yet even so, he was able to break through the enemy's psychological defenses in such a short time!"

"What does this prove? It proves that Ah Lang is indeed a genius! Really, I'm not just flattering you, I genuinely believe that you were born for this! It's just that you weren't given the right opportunities before, and you didn't have a stage to showcase your abilities. Otherwise, your achievements would definitely not be lower than Bai Ling's!"

Bai Ling was so flattered that she was embarrassed to tell anyone that she knew Lao Luo!

I genuinely find Lao Luo's attempt at flattery utterly disgusting, and I have no desire to continue discussing this topic further.

Bai Ling immediately got down to business with Lao Luo, her expression serious.

"Old Luo, according to his confession, the outside world has already noticed our series of major moves! His purpose in coming here this time is to awaken the hidden special agent team and have them carry out various sabotage operations to disrupt our development rhythm!"

"This is not a good sign! It's foreseeable that there will be more and more spies like him in the future, and they will become more and more professional! This is another severe test for us! You'd better be careful!"

Pay attention, this is absolutely necessary!

"I'll go and report this intelligence in a bit, and have the higher-ups notify all localities to do the corresponding work."

But to say that this matter should be treated as a top priority.
"It really doesn't have to be that bad!"

Especially after Ximen Lang and his descendants helped them in the world of Beijing, their weapons became stronger, their backs straighter, and their wallets fuller.

Things that used to give Lao Luo a huge headache have suddenly become less of a headache.

Take, for example, the bald guy who gave Lao Luo and a group of high-ranking officials in Beijing a real headache.

Luo Yonghao is quite willing to admit that everyone is ultimately one family.

But if they really dare to push their luck and repeatedly challenge the bottom line of Beijing...
"Our planes, cannons, and warships are not to be underestimated! If the little brother is disobedient, just give him a beating! A beating will make him behave! We'll just take him back and keep him by our side, and we'll discipline him ourselves. Let's see if he dares to rebel again. We'll scare him to death!"

Although Lao Luo was talking about various hypotheticals, judging from how enthusiastic he became and how bright his eyes became as he spoke, he was quite a character.

Ximen Lang was certain that he was absolutely serious!

At the very least, she was definitely tempted!
Bai Ling, who was standing to the side, was also thinking about taking that place back!

Even if we don't act now, it's only a matter of time!
As for those two things that are the biggest concerns of the entire nation, we will definitely take them all back without missing a single one!

this.
This feels pretty good!
Therefore, there was no way to refute this matter, and Ximen Lang directly expressed his opinion.

"You guys, just go ahead and do it boldly! Don't be afraid, and don't hold back! I'll back you up, and we'll back you up too! If it doesn't work out, let's have a go. I want to see just how capable the Americans and the Soviet Union really are these days, daring to act so arrogantly!"

Good heavens, Bai Ling and Lao Luo had just gotten into the idea of ​​resolving all those worries at once, and Ximen Lang was already planning to clash with the Americans and the Soviet Union!

Let's have the two of them team up and go for a match!
That's a bit too much!
At least until the world of Beijing has enough confidence, Bai Ling and Lao Luo still think it's better to slow down.

Therefore, seeing that Ximen Lang was also getting carried away, Bai Ling quickly changed the subject.

"Don't rush, Ah Lang. Let's put aside the idea of ​​dominating the world and pulling the US and the Soviet Union off the top spot, and then taking our place, okay? We can talk about that later."

"Let's talk about something important first, something that's really puzzling me. Ah Lang, logically speaking, you shouldn't have had much contact with Baldy's side, and you probably don't even know much about what happened before."

"Why do you hate that guy so much? Just mentioning him makes your teeth itch with hatred! What happened? Why do you have such a strong grudge against him?"

Bai Ling genuinely didn't quite understand.

If you say they hate bald men, then so be it.

After all, there are so many things here that evoke anger and sorrow.

As mentioned earlier, the list of his crimes is too long to list!
In such a situation, no matter how nicely you speak, the hatred will still remain.

And they hated him so much they were itching to tear him apart!

I wish I could devour its flesh raw!
But Ximen Lang is different.

The era he lived in is several decades ago now, more than half a century ago.

Even if history doesn't forget these things that actually happened.

However, due to its extreme gore, it certainly won't be described in detail.

Moreover, written records are different from what you see with your own eyes.

Neither its impact nor its expressiveness can compare to the latter's depth.

Why would Ximen Lang act this way?
Even though Bai Ling had tried her best to put herself in Ximen Lang's shoes, she still didn't understand.

unless
They already had a grudge, and a very serious one at that, one that Ximen Lang would remember for a lifetime.

That's what I was thinking.

Sure enough, as soon as the matter was mentioned, Ximen Lang exploded.

"Of course I have a problem with it! Because our family was ruined by him! We have a blood feud with him, of course I have a problem with it!" (End of Chapter)
