Cha Can's face lost all color, becoming eerily pale.
He was truly terrified.
He never imagined that his nearly thousand-strong garrison could be defeated by the few people before him…
"Xu Fan, you're here?"
Seeing Xu Fan and Qin Mengyue return safely, Zhang Shicun and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Fan looked over Cha Can before him and asked, "How's it going? Did you get anything out of him?"
Zhang Shicun shook his head, saying, "Haven't started yet, we were waiting for you."
Xu Fan nodded and then instructed, "Zhang Shicun, take the brothers to clean up the battlefield. Keep these guards locked up for now. We can't let them leak any information before we leave."
"Right, remember to contact Old Cat to come over."
"Hehe, got it!" Zhang Shicun laughed.
Old Cat was an arms dealer. Hu Dewu's base was stocked with not a small amount of arms, and Xu Fan estimated that selling them cheaply to Old Cat could bring in at least tens of millions in revenue.
After delegating tasks to his men, Xu Fan sat on the sofa opposite Cha Can, ready to start the interrogation.
"Why don't we have a proper chat?"
Squinting his eyes, Xu Fan looked at Cha Can, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "I presume there's no need for me to explain who Hu Dewu is?"
"No need, no need." Hu Dewu was his own boss, Cha Can figured that these five people came probably because his boss had antagonized them.
"Tell me, where did Hu Dewu go?"
"This, this..." Hearing Xu Fan ask this, Cha Can suddenly became evasive, seemingly afraid to answer.
This was a classified matter, and if he told Xu Fan, it would undoubtedly mean betraying his boss.
Cha Can was somewhat afraid to do so.
With a slight smile, Xu Fan seemed to guess Cha Can's current thoughts and reminded him, "Mr. Cha Can, do I need to remind you of such a simple principle?"
"I can't guarantee if Hu Dewu will return, but for you, Cha Can, if you dare not answer my questions now, do I really need to explain the consequences?"
"Er!"
Startled, Cha Can, seeing Xu Fan's smiling expression, found his smile somewhat sinister and extremely intimidating.
He swallowed and said, "Boss—oh, no, Hu Dewu went to meet General Dragon yesterday and might not be back until tomorrow…"
"At that time, General Dragon might come over with him…"
"Oh?"
Xu Fan frowned upon hearing this.
No wonder he hadn't seen Hu Dewu until now.
It turned out that the guy wasn't at the base at all.
General Dragon, huh?
That would be an interesting meeting.
"You better release me quickly, or else General Dragon won't let you off easily."
As he was calculating his next move, he saw this guy starting to threaten him.
Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Are you threatening me?"
"..."
Seeing Xu Fan's gaze, Cha Can couldn't help but shiver.
Feeling the murderous intent emanating from Xu Fan's eyes, Cha Can regretted his words deeply.
"I... I..."
Filled with regret, Cha Can stuttered.
Xu Fan smiled, stood firm, and then looked over to Zhang Shicun's subordinate.
"Torture him. I want to know even the color of his underwear."
"Yes!"
Through this battle, the respect for Xu Fan from these Huaxia soldiers had reached its peak.
Having received the order, they approached Cha Can.
"Hehe, kid, the experience to come will surely be unforgettable for you."
Suddenly, a brutally merciless beating ensued.
The mournful, wailing sounds rose in waves.
Within a short time, they heard Cha Can wailing pathetically.
"Stop! Stop hitting me! Daddy! Can I call you daddy, will that do?"
"Everything I know, I'll tell! I'll tell you everything!"
"Boss, what do you think?"
At that moment, Zhang Shicun's subordinate stopped punching and looked towards Xu Fan.
Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and then said, "Let him speak."
"I can take you to the warehouse; all our valuables are inside, I... I have the key..."
Now that everyone had been subdued by Xu Fan's group, the warehouse was all that Cha Can could think of as valuable.
After catching his breath, he looked at Xu Fan and stammered, "Then, my... my underwear... "
Slap!
Before Xu Fan could speak, Zhang Shicun's subordinate slapped him across the face!
"Who the hell wants to know the color of your underwear?"
"I..."
His face burned painfully, and Cha Can covered it as tears fell.
Wasn't that what you asked me to say...
"Alright, let him take us to the warehouse."
Xu Fan guessed that the White Jade Bi might be stored in the warehouse, and he instructed, leading Zhang Shicun's man to press on Cha Can as they walked out from the command center.
Guided by Cha Can, Xu Fan quickly arrived at the warehouse gate.
"This... this is the key..."
Knowing what he had to do, Cha Can trembled and took out the key to the warehouse gate.
Xu Fan signaled with a glance, and after Zhang Shicun's subordinate took the key, he opened the large gate of the warehouse.
Pushing open the gate, Xu Fan immediately entered with his men.
The warehouse contained plenty of munitions. With a fearful glance at Xu Fan and his companion, Cha Can led them deeper inside.
Within a short period of time, they arrived in front of a large safe.
"This... inside here, it's all Gold Bricks..."
Cha Can said with a sense of helplessness.
If it hadn't been a last resort, he really wouldn't have wanted to give up those Gold Bricks.
He knew that losing this cache of Gold Bricks wouldn't be easily forgiven by Hu Dewu.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be quite a windfall, as Zhang Shicun's subordinate checked around the safe to make sure it wasn't a trap and then looked towards Xu Fan.
"Ask him for the combination, then open it to take a look."
"Understood."
Zhang Shicun's subordinate nodded, and immediately got the combination from Cha Can.
Soon, using the combination, they opened the safe.
It was quite alarming; the safe was filled with Gold Bricks, which looked to be worth more than a hundred million.
Zhang Shicun's subordinate couldn't help but crack a grin at the sight of so many Gold Bricks; he didn't even know how to move them all.
"Boss, what do we do now?"
Even though he was attracted by the cache of Gold Bricks, Zhang Shicun's man quickly focused his mind.
He inquired about Xu Fan's plans, taken aback for a moment.
Xu Fan showed no reaction at all to the cache of Gold Bricks.
Such composure suggested he didn't regard this amount of money with any concern at all.
Gold Bricks are also quite popular as a currency in the Underground World.
The currency might be useless in other countries, but Gold Bricks are universally desired.
Hu Dewu likely worried about having to flee one day, which is why he had prepared so many Gold Bricks.
Unfortunately, he had painstakingly gathered so many only to have them end up benefiting Xu Fan and his group.
Suddenly having this extra income was certainly good, but the White Jade Bi he was seeking was not among them.
