Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 835 I want to see what Pei Zhengyang looks like when he cries.

"Tell me, are you going to cooperate with the investigation or not? Otherwise, even if you kneel down before me, you won't escape this ordeal!"

Old Gu's actions were nothing short of bullying the weak. Not only Pei Zhengyang couldn't stand it, but the others who had been silent could no longer ignore it.

The men who had been blocking the way stepped forward and stood between the two sides. One of them said, "Boss, what are you doing? Young people are just a bit strong-willed. It's okay to argue a little, but you really can't do this!"

Despite being repeatedly stopped, Old Gu's anger only grew. He swept his stern gaze across everyone present and said fiercely, "If you stop me again, I will treat you all as accomplices!"

Everyone immediately shut up.

Old Gu was the most capable person in their group, and one of the few who could use mental power to launch a substantial attack. Moreover, with the help of the brass cymbals, his power was even greater, which is why he became the leader of their entire execution team.

Not only is he petty, but he also has a bad temper, extremely poor patience, and is easily angered and irritable. When he really gets going, he doesn't hold back. Every member of their team has suffered at his hands. Seeing how ruthless he is, no one dared to speak for a while.

On the other end, Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting, who were enduring the excruciating pain of their cerebral blood vessels bursting, felt somewhat relieved after the first cymbal attack, despite the pain. Although the pain was still there, they did not admit defeat at all.

The two helped each other to their feet.

Ge Shaoting watched as Old Gu wore his disdain on his face. "Heh, so you're a talent from a special unit. You're really something. With this ability, you don't use it to fight the enemy, but you're quite adept at targeting your own people. No wonder those guys ran away so easily and calmly just now. It turns out the pursuers weren't very effective. Hahaha..."

Pei Zhengyang was so anxious he almost knelt down to him, "Comrade Ge, please stop talking, just bear with it for now and you'll be safe!"

He's a real ancestor. Does he have to talk a big game? Is this the time to be so competitive?

Ge Shaoting scoffed at him, "Pah! If Chu Xin hadn't said that the people you were with weren't bad people, Yang Zheng would have been a fool to wait here and give you directions. And what was the end result of doing good deeds? What a mess! Damn it!"

"I misjudged you." Yang Zheng frowned and frankly admitted that he shouldn't have been so kind. "However, you can do whatever you want with me. You think you can make us bow down? Dream on!"

Pei Zhengyang was almost brought to tears by their back-and-forth banter, and at the same time, he was touched that Chu Xin trusted him so much, but today…

At this point, Old Gu had lost his patience. He shoved aside the person blocking his way and strode forward to face the two stubborn men. "Then let me see just how tough your mouths really are!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out from behind them, "Whether it's hard or not is none of your business. I can show you just how soft your bones really are!"

Upon hearing this, Old Gu and those around him felt the chilling killing intent emanating from the newcomer. Pei Zhengyang's mind was filled with the thought, "It's over!"

Both Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting were overjoyed.

Old Gu glanced at him and immediately recognized who it was. He looked at the darkness with hostility and said, "Arrogant! If that's the case, why don't you come out and show me just how capable you are that my men are so wary of you!"

Chu Xin still didn't show herself. "What, didn't you boast about how powerful you are? You have no target to attack if I don't show up? Well, sorry, I'll have to show you my abilities first!"

They listened carefully and couldn't hear any footsteps or see anyone, yet the voices sounded right next to them.

Old Gu's expression began to show wariness, which was similar to the effect of the cymbal sound he had enhanced with his spiritual power.

Before he could react, an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy rushed in from the direction the sound came from. Although it was invisible, everyone felt the irresistible power that even made them want to kneel down and submit.

"what?!"

Old Gu's eyes widened suddenly as he stared in disbelief at the pitch-black night. He couldn't believe it—how could someone have a higher level of mental strength than him?!

All his thoughts vanished in an instant. The next moment, Old Gu froze on the spot, his blood vessels bulging. It felt as if a million needles were pricking him and a million ants were biting him inside his head at the same time. His brain's normal functions went out of control and collapsed in an instant. The pain of being worse than dead struck his entire soul.

"what--"

He let out a long howl, and the cymbals in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang". His hands were not just covering his head, but scratching and digging with his fingernails, as if he wanted to dig his brain out.

Pei Zhengyang and the others weren't much better off; they were all writhing and howling on the ground in agony, the pain so intense it was like a nightmare from hell.

"Ahhh-"

"Help!"

"Ouch, it hurts so much!"

"Let me die! Ah, kill me now!"

Amidst the wailing sounds, the clatter of footsteps rang out, and Chu Xin's figure slowly came into view.

Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting felt that she was like a goddess descending from heaven, and they stared at her in disbelief.

After staring at each other for a while, the two finally came to their senses, walked around the crooked figure on the ground and jogged towards Chu Xin, saying somewhat incoherently, "You, them, is this, is this still you?"

Why didn't she hear or see any attack? That old man even used a cymbal, yet Chu Xin had nothing in her hand. How did she manage that?

The two of them looked Chu Xin up and down again, but still couldn't find anything different. If it weren't for their gender, they would have wanted to touch her.

Where did you hide your treasure?

Chu Xin rolled her eyes in annoyance, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Then he looked at the ground and asked with a smile, "What kind of hobby do you gentlemen have? I've only ever seen pigs rolling in the mud, this is the first time I've seen people doing this. Is there some kind of secret hobby you have?"

Old Gu no longer had the strength to argue with her; he could only wail in pain and didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

Because of her pleading for Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting, Chu Xin did not punish the others, including Pei Zhengyang, severely. Although they were still in great pain, they were much better off than Lao Gu.

Pei Zhengyang, trembling, crawled towards Chu Xin. His perpetually icy face was flushed red and purplish with pain, making his face appear much larger.

He pleaded in a trembling voice, "Comrade Chu... Comrade Chu, spare my life!"

Chu Xin remained unmoved and looked at him coldly, "This is all the old man's own fault, and you are all implicated by him. You should beg him instead of me."

Pei Zhengyang shook his increasingly muddled mind. He knew what Chu Xin meant: if they were to beg for mercy, that person had to be Gu Tou.

He swallowed hard, then turned his head shakily to look at Old Gu, only to find that Old Gu's eyes had rolled back and he was on the verge of dying from the pain.

It's impossible for them to beg for mercy now.

Startled, Pei Zhengyang hurriedly pleaded with Chu Xin again, "Comrade Chu... Gu, Gu is the most valued person in 749... If he... if he dies, you, you will be in endless trouble."

Chu Xin's voice was icy, "You think I'm scared? It's a good thing that such a scumbag is dead!"

Pei Zhengyang felt a chill in his heart. He needed to save himself, but he couldn't let Lao Gu die, otherwise it would be bad for everyone. Chu Xin would likely be hunted down by their entire organization, and the mission that 749 was currently carrying out would also be destroyed.

The consequences would be far from minor.

The pain itself, coupled with the turmoil of various thoughts, caused Pei Zhengyang to suddenly burst into tears without warning, collapsing to the ground and kowtowing, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Waaaaah... Please... if, if he really has to die, please... please wait until we've resolved the Sakura Kingdom's conspiracy before making another decision, okay?!"

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Chu Xin and the other two knew just how expressionless this man was, whose face was so expressionless that he never showed a single wrinkle. So when he suddenly started crying, the three of them were stunned.

Then, without prior arrangement, they all bent down and lowered their heads, wanting to see what Pei Zhengyang looked like when he cried.
