Chapter 728 - Model

Yuan Heping tried to pull his hand back, but Li Huowang stomped on his wrist. He couldn’t move his hands at all!

“Wait! Stop, stop!”

The sharp knife cut open his skin. Li Huowang looked at Yuan Heping. “Talk. Who are you people? What’s your objective?”

“I... I don’t know!” Yuan Heping innocently said. “We escaped together from the hospital and wanted to find something nice to eat when there was no one around at night.”

“Bullshit! Do you really think I would believe that? Why did you run from us then?”

“You... You chased after us with a cleaver like a madman. Who wouldn’t run away?”

Qian Fu suddenly glared at Yuan Heping. “Stop lying! We already saw through your tricks! You are Leotians! You came to conquer Earth! We already know who you are!”

Yuan Heping was stunned. He looked at Qian Fu and then at Li Huowang before quickly nodding.

“Yes! That’s right! We are the Leotians! We came here to conquer Earth!”

Li Huowang’s face twitched. He pushed the cleaver down until Yuan Heping’s fingertips were bleeding. “Are you going to talk or not?”

“What do you want me to say?!” Yuan Heping was already on the brink of tears.

“Why did you follow me? Why did you put needles in my food? Don’t tell me you weren’t the one who did it!”

“Fine! You are right! I placed the needles and followed you!”

“Why? What’s your goal? Why are you following and monitoring me?!”

“Because... Because...” Yuan Heping tried to come up with a reason.

As Yuan Heping stayed silent and unsure of how to respond, Qing Wanglai helped him to his feet.

“Don’t arbitrarily decide that he’s the culprit. It’s possible that he was being used.”

Yuan Heping hid behind Qing Wanglai and trembled.

“Come, drink some water. Don’t be nervous.”

Li Huowang wanted to rebuke Qing Wanglai before he realized they were playing good cop, bad cop. His role was over.

Qing Wanglai might be able to coax out the truth.

Wang Gang nodded and finally said, “You are right. We are here to monitor Li Huowang. This is our job.”

“Who sent you?” Li Huowang’s heart was thumping.

“My higher-ups. I never saw their faces before, and they always gave us the orders through paper memos.”

“What’s their goal? Why are they targeting me?”

“I don’t know. They just said something along the lines of you being hard to deal with.”

Li Huowang clenched his teeth when he heard that. “I knew it!”

Bam! Just then, the sound of cloth smacking onto the table could be heard. Li Huowang turned around and saw Zhao Lei frantically looking for something.

“What’s going on with you?” Wu Qi was confused.

“My things! They are gone! It was here just now! Everything is visibly fake, so why did you take it?!”

Li Huowang ignored him and continued to interrogate Wang Gang.

“What else do you know?”

Wang Gang looked at Zhao Lei before he stammered, “I a-also know... One of you has been bought off by them.”

“What? Who is it?!”

Li Huowang was looking at Wang Gang when he saw the reflection in Wang Gang’s eyes.

Li Huowang swiftly turned around. Zhao Lei was swinging one of the large glass bottles towards his head!

“Why are you stealing my things?! They’re mine!”

Before the glass bottle hit Li Huowang’s head, the wooden boat model in the bottle swayed vigorously with the water. One of the wooden figurines in the glass bottle had a sword that pierced the glass bottle.

Crack. The glass bottle shattered as the water splashed onto Li Huowang’s face.

Li Huowang let go of his cleaver and grabbed the wooden boat instead. “You dare attack me?!”

Li Huowang gripped the wooden boat model and smashed it into Zhao Lei’s face. The entire wooden boat model cracked into pieces.

The wooden figurines with swords were also stabbed into Zhao Lei’s eyes.
