Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1451
Chapter 1451: Secrets Buried by Time (9)
Gu Yanran ignored Huo Shaoheng’s sarcastic remarks completely. She grabbed his wrist and asked doggedly, “Did something happen to that fake !”
Her eyes were shining, as though all her wishes had been fulfilled.
It was as though she really knew something that no one else knew…
Even though he was reluctant, Huo Shaoheng still hid the astonishment inside him. He pulled his wrist out of Gu Yanran’s hand and quietly took a step back. “If you know where she is, I’ll consider letting you off easy.”
Huo Shaoheng had never said such words in his entire career.
In order to find Gu Nianzhi’s whereabouts, he was even willing to paint a pie in the sky for Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran understood Huo Shaoheng’s words and froze for a moment. She then leaned back against her seat.
Her eyes glistening as tears silently welled up in her eyes, she looked up at the ceiling.
After a while, she confirmed again, “What happened to Gu Nianzhi? Tell me honestly, and I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Huo Shaoheng raised an eyebrow and put the gun back into his pocket. He calmly said, “… Nianzhi is missing. We have no leads.”
His tone was too calm as if Gu Nianzhi’s disappearance wasn’t a big deal.
“Huh? Just missing?” His tone affected Gu Yanran’s mood as well. Her previously glowing eyes instantly dimmed.
Gu Yanran was extremely disappointed. She slowly stood up and said coldly, “I told you that I was staying alive just to see that b * tch’s ending. Since her ending hasn’t arrived yet, I have nothing to say.”
With that said, she turned around and left.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly grabbed her neck from behind. “You want to leave? Do you think I have that much patience?”
Huo Shaoheng’s patience with Gu Yanran had been completely exhausted by now.
In the beginning, he kept her alive to find out Gu Xiangwen’s whereabouts.
Now that Gu Xiangwen had been found and Gu Nianzhi had asked all the questions she wanted to ask, she was already of no value and could have died a long time ago.
However, ever since their last conversation, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng had been busy with their work, so they didn’t have time to deal with Gu Yanran.
Now that Gu Nianzhi had also disappeared, Huo Shaoheng really didn’t want to tolerate this person anymore.
The force of his hand grew stronger and stronger, and Gu Yanran was so suffocated by Huo Shaoheng that she couldn’t speak. Trying to grab the back of Huo Shaoheng’s hand to make him let go, she waved her hands backward.
However, Huo Shaoheng had already made up his mind. He shouted angrily, “Take her away!”
..
Gu Yanran was quickly blindfolded and brought out of the place where she was being held.
She didn’t know how long she had walked. She only remembered getting into a car, getting out of a car, getting on a boat, and getting off a boat. She could feel the turbulence on the surface of the water, and she could also smell the faint fishy and salty smell brought about by the wind. Based on her intuition, she probably reached the sea.
She followed them all the way until they finally entered a room, and her blindfold was removed.
Surrounded by pure white walls that were as bright as a big screen, the place was clean and tidy.
Gu Yanran was fixed to a seat that looked very high-tech, and her hands and feet were shackled.
A man in white clothes and a mask walked in and connected the electrodes on the seat to Gu Yanran’s brain, face, and spine.
Huo Shaoheng stood behind the man and said with an impassive expression, “This is the last time. Are you going to tell me or not?”
“So what if I tell you? So what if I don’t tell you? I’ll say it again. Do you want to hear me make up stories?” Gu Yanran giggled and even winked at Huo Shaoheng.
She knew that Huo Shaoheng was an upright soldier of the Huaxia Empire. He was highly respected and had a good moral character. He would never do anything to her.
If she could endure the even polygraph, what was all this in comparison?
Did he think she was scared?
Gu Yanran’s eyes flashed with indifference.
Huo Shaoheng didn’t miss the fleeting look of contempt on her face.
“… Do you think I won’t do anything to you?” Huo Shaoheng rubbed his wrist and said calmly, “… Do you know what place this is?”
Gu Yanran looked around and smiled seductively. “No matter what, it’s your place. How does whether or not I know matter?”
“You’re wrong. This isn’t our place.” Huo Shaoheng turned around and put his hands behind his back. His figure was upright and even the sight of his back was pleasing to the eye. “This is a small island on the high seas.”
It was also a secret base of the Special Operations Forces.
They would do things that weren’t suitable to be done within the borders of the country.
Gu Yanran was like a dead mouse who feels no cold. She knows that she wouldn’t be able to escape death, so she doesn’t care at all.
She was fantasizing about Huo Shaoheng’s back in her mind and didn’t listen to Huo Shaoheng’s words at all.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly turned around. Gu Yanran was caught off guard and evasively retracted her slightly ravenous gaze.
Suppressing the disgust inside of him, Huo Shaoheng calmly said, “Do you know how many types of pain there are? How many levels there are?”
Gu Yanran shook her head in confusion. She didn’t understand why Huo Shaoheng would ask this.
“Everyone says that the pain of giving birth is the most unbearable of all pain.” Huo Shaoheng quietly walked to the door, “Actually, that’s not right. Everyone has a different tolerance for different types of pain, so the pain they feel is also different.”
He turned off the ceiling light in the pure white room. “Now let’s see which type of pain is the most unbearable for you.”
Gu Yanran finally understood. She looked at Huo Shaoheng in disbelief. “You’re going to torture me?! Don’t forget, you’re a soldier of the Huaxia Empire! How can you torture me? — Your organization won’t let you off the hook!”
Major General Huo looked down from above as he said calmly, “First of all, I’m a soldier of the Huaxia Empire, so I won’t do this to my own countrymen, but you, Gu Yanran, aren’t a citizen of the Huaxia Empire, nor are you a descendant of the Huaxia Empire. Why should be lawful towards you? Second of all, this is international waters. The Huaxia Empire’s laws aren’t applicable to this place.”
Gu Yanran’s expression gradually turned ugly. She snorted coldly. “What do you want? It’s just torture. Why do you have to turn off the lights? Are you planning to rape me?” She chuckled again, “Major General Huo, you don’t have to force yourself on me. I’ll lie down obediently without resisting… I’ll give you the experience to die for…”
She thought that Huo Shaoheng was going to rape her.
When a female prisoner fell into the hands of the enemy, she usually wouldn’t be able to escape this fate.
Huo Shaoheng was still calm and composed. He didn’t respond to her at all. He said, “Let me introduce you to the pain you’ll have to go through later.”
The man in the white coat and mask walked over again. He used two small tools to prop up both of her eyelids and stuffed her mouth.
This way, she wouldn’t be able to close her eyes or bite her own tongue.
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand. The four walls of the room, the ceiling above her head, and the floor immediately began playing video clips!
Like the voice-over of a video, Huo Shaoheng’s voice rang out.
“Skinning, waist-breaking, car-breaking, dismemberment, hanging, boiling… these are known as the top ten tortures of ancient times.”
“Enjoy them. A moment later, you’ll get to try them yourself.”
A series of exciting scenes, accompanied by terrifying music and screams, were played on the walls, ceiling, and large screens on the ground.
Gu Yanran only took one look, but she was so scared that her entire body was trembling and her face was pale.
She didn’t want to look, but her eyes were propped up, so she couldn’t close them.
She turned her head, but the walls around her were all showing the same scenes.
She looked up and down, and the ceiling above her head and the floor under her feet were all showing the same scenes. The shock of torture was overwhelming and everywhere.
This kind of psychological attack was sometimes more effective than direct torture.
Gu Yanran finally burst into tears. She swallowed her saliva and cursed incoherently, “Huo Shaoheng, you’re so despicable! Do you think you can make me talk like this? In your dreams! If you have the ability, you can chop me into pieces for real!”
After crying for a while, she finally understood.
As expected, Huo Shaoheng didn’t dare to really torture her. He only dared to use these fake images to scare her.
Her cries gradually stopped, and she glared at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng stood quietly at the door. When the torture scenes finished playing, he said, “The original purpose of torture was to make people feel unbearable pain.”
“Under modern-day technological conditions, there’s no need for such primitive methods to make you feel such pain.”
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand again. “Since you’re so stubborn, there’s nothing I can do about it. Let’s start with the first one, the skin-peeling pain.”
Not understanding what he meant, Gu Yanran looked at Huo Shaoheng in confusion.
But she quickly understood.
The electronic chair began to take effect.
The needle electrodes attached to her body penetrated deep into her body and directly connected to her nerves.
The needle electrodes simulated the intensity of the torture of skinning and directly affected Gu Yanran’s nerves.
Although she wasn’t actually skinned boneless, the same painful sensation as getting skinned flashed through her entire body in an instant.
Gu Yanran’s body stiffened and her eyes almost popped out. She felt her entire body burning as if her skin had really been peeled off. She could see the blood-red flesh, the jumping blood vessels, and her snow-white bones.
“Ah!” Gu Yanran let out an earth-shattering scream. She felt as if she had been fished out of the water, and even her clothes were soaked in a cold sweat.
Huo Shaoheng remained impassive. “Continue, there are nine more. Try them one by one. After you’ve tried them all but still don’t say anything, we’ll start again from the beginning, and gradually increase the intensity. Let’s see how many you can endure.”
Huo Shaoheng had used a high-tech simulation of the intensity of torture to directly affect a person’s pain nerves and magnify the various types of pain by several times.
Huo Shaoheng’s punishment didn’t create any wounds. Of course, it wouldn’t cause the other party to lose a piece of flesh or a drop of blood either. There wouldn’t even be a trace of it during an examination. However, the effect was better than that of the ancient torture methods.
He walked out of the torture chamber and lit a cigarette.
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze stood at the door. The two of them were making a bet.
“I bet more than five minutes, but less than ten minutes. The most impressive terrorist lasted ten minutes here. She’s already quite…”
Before Yin Shixiong could finish speaking, Gu Yanran’s hoarse voice came from the speaker at the door. “I’ll talk… I’ll talk… kill me when I’m done! I can’t take it anymore!”
Her words were muffled, but everyone heard her clearly.
Zhao Liangze looked down at the timer. “Fifteen seconds. Pay up.”
Zhao Liangze had bet on less than a minute.
Huo Shaoheng glanced at the two of them and turned around to walk in.
He pressed the pause button on the remote control in his hand and put his hands in his pockets calmly. “Okay, go ahead. If you’re lying, we’ll continue.”
Panting, Gu Yanran looked up. Her face was as white as a ghost’s. “Which Gu Nianzhi are you asking?”
Huo Shaoheng’s heart sank, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
“Which Gu Nianzhi? What do you mean?”
Gu Yanran’s eyes sparkled.
Huo Shaoheng immediately pressed the remote control in his hand. An even more unbearable pain spread along the electrode needle in Gu Yanran’s waist.
This was the pain of being cut in the waist.
Gu Yanran was once again overwhelmed by the pain, and her psychological defenses were completely destroyed. “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! I’ll talk! — please take this thing away! Ahhh!”
Huo Shaoheng’s finger landed on the pause button, but he didn’t press it. He was as calm as a scientific commentator, and his voice was slow. “You talk, I’ll listen. Tell the truth, and I’ll pause. Continue to make up stories, and you’ll continue to enjoy all kinds of pain until you find the most unbearable pain for you.”
Through her blurry teary eyes, Gu Yanran looked at Huo Shaoheng’s face, which appeared even more handsome than before. She vaguely wondered if the devil’s appearance was also like this? He looked incredibly handsome, mesmerizing, and suffocating, but what he did was incredibly cruel…
The pain on her body had reached a point where she couldn’t bear it. It felt as if a rough hacksaw was sawing at her nerves. The pain was extreme, and she finally understood what it meant to be in a “living hell”.
She only wanted to die quickly. She said intermittently,”… Caribbean… Blue Hole…”
She said a few more words, then her head tilted and she fainted.
The human body’s self-protection mechanism against pain was activated.
The electric chair had already slowed down the time she fainted. Otherwise, she would have fainted the moment the excruciating pain appeared.
Huo Shaoheng understood Gu Yanran’s words, and his face instantly became ugly.
He pressed the pause button, turned around, and walked out of the torture chamber. He said, “Get the plane ready. We’re going to the Blue Hole of the Caribbean.”
..
Not long after they had flown back from South America, Huo Shaoheng’s private plane took off again.
This time, they didn’t use Cuba as a detour. Instead, they contacted Barbados, which was near the Caribbean, and flew directly to the country’s airport.
To be on the safe side, Huo Shaoheng brought along Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze, as well as Chen Lie and Song Jinning.
Song Jinning didn’t know until she got on Huo Shaoheng’s plane that Gu Nianzhi had been kidnapped and had been missing for almost two weeks.
The golden time to rescue her had long passed.
Song Jinning was extremely anxious. She complained to Huo Shaoheng, “What’s wrong with you? You can’t even keep an eye on the person you love the most? Nianzhi’s feelings for you have gone in vain.”
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were dumbfounded!
She was really a biological mother!
Nianzhi’s biological mother!
Major General Huo must have come along as a bonus…
The two of them looked at Huo Shaoheng’s expression with sympathetic eyes.
Huo Shaoheng didn’t speak. Perhaps he was used to the way Song Jinning spoke, or perhaps he was also feeling guilty in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. With one hand on the armrest of his seat and the other hand holding the phone while continuously swiping, he was still calm and composed.
