Chapter 192: The Investigation
Meng Yu sighed. "Forget it. I can’t bear to witness such a bloody scene. I don’t understand... Why would you all break into an infirmary and hurt those already injured or unwell? The mere thought makes me uncomfortable. You’ll explain yourselves, won’t you?"
Zhao Fu and the others shared a look, wondering how best to begin or how much they should say.
Meng Yu returned to his seat and toyed with his nails. "I don’t like listening to lies," he said, "So think carefully before you speak. Whoever confesses the slowest will have their flesh fed to the dogs."
When they heard Meng Yu’s threat, the eight of them rushed to be the first ones heard, going so far as to attack their companions to get ahead. Not one of them wanted to have their skin fed to the dogs.
A sudden surge of renewed ferocity emerged from Zhao Fu. He ruthlessly beat back his companions, forcing them to the ground one by one as he shouted, "We were contracted to gang rape a female student named Shen Xi at Zhuo Ying High School. They wanted us to disfigure and record her struggle for a video."
"Once we completed our end of the bargain, we would receive 500,000 yuan. They very generously gave us half of it as a deposit."
Suspicious, Meng Yu clarified, "Are you saying they only asked you to deal with a girl named Shen Xi?"
Zhao Fu recalled that Meng Yu and Xue Li spoke of a ’young master’, so they likely were not on that girl’s side. "Yes, yes. Our target is a girl called Shen Xi. We never meant to hurt this Young Master of yours."
