990: Give Up Your Accomplices

Give Up Your Accomplices

Huo Yao placed her hands together and played with her index fingers nonchalantly. She seemed completely unperturbed by Team Leader Liao's threats. "I see. Are you saying no one else should be able to fix the internet if your technicians were unable to do it? Do I understand you correctly?"1

Team Leader Liao could not be bothered talking to her. Instead, he said coldly, "If you know any better, you should hand over your accomplices."

He was implying that Huo Yao was only able to fix the internet because she was in collusion with the people attacking the network. Otherwise, how could she have effortlessly fixed the problem when none of the best computer experts in the country were able to do it?

Huo Yao laughed softly. "My bad. I really don't know what it means to know better. Do you want to teach me?"

Team Leader Liao instantly looked annoyed. "It seems you simply refuse to do what is right."

He turned to glance sideways at his subordinate. "Bring me the whip."

His subordinate raised his head and looked at Huo Yao. He felt hesitant about fetching the whip, so he went closer and said to Team Leader Liao, "Are you sure we want to do that? After all, she is Young Master Min's associate. If we touch her, he might not be happy."

Team Leader Liao smiled and said nonchalantly, "She is just a woman. Do you think the Mins will care about her? What's wrong with using some physical punishment to squeeze intel out of her? After all, this is a matter of national security. Does Min Yu think he can do anything he wants?"

Even though his subordinate felt this was a mistake, he had to agree with Team Leader Liao. What could a woman be capable of doing?

The subordinate turned and left the lockup.

In no time, he came back with a black whip in his hand. Since there were bloodstains on it, some parts of the whip had become dark red over time.

Team Leader Liao took the whip from his subordinate, told him to leave, and locked the lockup while he was at it.

In an instant, only Huo Yao and Team Leader Liao remained in the room.

"Have you decided? If you name your accomplices, I can spare you from going through this suffering." Team Leader Liao stretched his neck before stretching the whip in his hands. In an instant, the atmosphere became intense.

Huo Yao straightened her back and glanced at the locked door. She placed her hands on the table casually.

They must have felt that she was really harmless, so they did not even bother to secure her hands.

Huo Yao squeezed her wrist as she looked at Team Leader Liao and suddenly asked. "If I retaliate in self-defense, is it considered legal?"

Team Leader Liao found this hilarious the moment he heard what she said. He waved the whip on the ground making an intimidating cracking sound. "That depends on whether you have it in you."

Huo Yao licked her slightly dry lips and said rather softly, "Okay then."

The room did not have any surveillance, so it was perfect.

Team Leader Liao laughed coldly. He attacked her with the whip swiftly. Judging from how powerful his attack was, it was clear he did not hold back just because Huo Yao was a girl.

Just as the whip was about to hit Huo Yao's hands, she instantly held it with her bare hands. A few strands of hair fell in front of her face covering her eyes slightly but were incapable of concealing the cool aura radiating from her.

A look of surprise emerged in Team Leader Liao's eyes instantly. He did not expect her to grab the whip with bare hands. He knew fully well that even a martial artist was probably incapable of withstanding his blow.

How could this girl have done it? Team Leader Liao narrowed his eyes as he suppressed the shock in his heart. He held the handle of the whip tightly and twirled it to pull it away from Huo Yao.
