Chapter 63 Let's Talk a Small Deal

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Each time the leather whip struck the body, it let out a crisp sound. The clothes and the skin on her back bloomed instantly like flower buds waiting to burst, looking exceptionally bewitching accompanied by splattering blood.

Hu Zhenxiang's wife let out muffled groans from her nose; she desperately wanted to scream to distract herself and make the pain feel slightly lighter.

Unfortunately, she couldn't, because her mouth had been sealed with plastic tape before she was brought over.

Tears and snot flowed uncontrollably, falling to the ground and mixing with the dust, then smearing all over her face.

Seeing his wife suffer such torture, Hu Zhenxiang shouted in a panic, "Stop hitting her! Stop! We can discuss things properly. Please, stop for a moment!"

The three bodyguards responsible for the execution ignored Hu Zhenxiang's words. They only followed Wang Xiuyuan's orders. How could they stop before Wang Xiuyuan said so?

After thirty consecutive lashes, the skin on the back and buttocks of Hu Zhenxiang's wife had been ripped open. One could hardly find an intact area larger than a fist; her appearance was utterly miserable.

Wang Xiuyuan snapped his fingers. "Guys, sprinkle some salt on the wounds to help her disinfect. There's so much dust on the ground; what if her wounds get infected!

Could you guys use your brains a bit when doing things in the future? Couldn't you have sprinkled some salt on the whip before using it!

Disinfecting while whipping~"

The surrounding bodyguards' eyes widened. They could hardly believe such cruel words had come out of their own boss's mouth.

In their established impression, their boss was a philanthropic and very caring young man. Wang Xiuyuan sponsoring so much money to help their families was a typical example.

In addition, Wang Xiuyuan often arranged for people to buy food to distribute to the homeless and introduced jobs to those willing to save themselves. If Wang Xiuyuan weren't a great person, he definitely wouldn't have spent so much effort doing these good deeds.

Although the bodyguards didn't understand why Wang Xiuyuan was being so cruel tonight, they still chose to obey. They believed that since Wang Xiuyuan was doing this, he must have his reasons.

Those were evidence of deals between a large gang, the Boston police, and corrupt politicians. They didn't think there was any problem with being a bit cruel to these people.

Pure white salt grains drifted from the air like snowflakes onto the wounds on the back of Hu Zhenxiang's wife. Upon contact, the salt immediately dissolved into the blood, while simultaneously bringing unimaginable agony to her.

"Mmmph! Mmmph!"

Hu Zhenxiang's wife struggled violently, but two burly men held her body down firmly. No matter how much she struggled, it was in vain.

A few minutes later, perhaps the pain receptors in the wounds had grown accustomed to the sensation, or perhaps the physical reaction of the salt mixing with the blood had ended.

Hu Zhenxiang's wife no longer struggled or groaned as frantically as before. She just lay quietly on the ground, her nose panting heavily.

Wang Xiuyuan walked over to Hu Zhenxiang and squatted down, tilting his head to admire Hu Zhenxiang's face, which was distorted by extreme anger.

"Business is something that the buyer and seller negotiate step by step. How can you refuse me without any room for counter-offering like that?

I have no choice but to mess with you!

Now, let's talk about the first deal.

Tell me the bearer account and password for that seventy million plus US dollars in the Swiss Bank. Also, tell me the locations of the Peace Gang's vault and the warehouse where those prohibited items are stored.

I can let your whole family go on their way quickly and painlessly. If you are unwilling, I will torture you, your wife, and your child simultaneously until you tell me all the information I want to know.

If you tell me everything at once right now, including the ledgers, your two-year-old son can survive.

He hasn't reached the age where he starts remembering things yet. Letting him go won't pose much of a hidden threat.

You can rest assured that I can send him to an orphanage. Although the conditions there might not be great, at least your son can grow up safely and your bloodline can continue.

How about it? Pick one!"

An orphanage? An orphanage in America!

If there weren't a large group of people watching in the warehouse right now, Wang Xiuyuan would definitely have burst out laughing.

He had watched the live streams of King Squeak "Prison A" and had also scaled the firewall to read some American news and data. Over 300,000 children go missing in America every year, and that figure comes from official American statistics on the legal population.

In other words, a child must have American citizenship for their disappearance to be included in the missing children statistics. If an illegal immigrant's child goes missing, they aren't included in those 300,000 at all.

If the number of missing illegal immigrant children is included, a conservative estimate would exceed one million per year.

300,000 is the figure for children with families and parental care. As for orphanages, don't even mention it.

According to statistics, more than 150,000 children are sent to orphanages in America every year. Meanwhile, more than 100,000 children are adopted annually.

But here's the problem: in the twenty-eight years from 1992 to 2020, the total number of orphans waiting to be adopted announced at the end of each year has basically remained around 400,000.

On one hand, about 150,000 orphans are sent to orphanages every year, and on the other, over 100,000 are adopted. This means every year, 30,000 to 50,000 orphans are left over.

Calculating with an average difference of 40,000 people per year over twenty-eight years, a total of 1.12 million children have simply evaporated into thin air.

After Wang Xiuyuan sends Hu Zhenxiang's two-year-old son to an American orphanage, it would be a true miracle if the child could live to adulthood.

Did they really think Wang Xiuyuan was a brainless fool?

Wang Xiuyuan was definitely a smart man, a truly wise and intelligent person.

If Wang Xiuyuan relentlessly insisted on killing Hu Zhenxiang's whole family, would Hu Zhenxiang still hand over that money and the ledgers?

It would be a miracle if Hu Zhenxiang handed them over. His four mistresses, one wife, and two children were all killed by Wang Xiuyuan; would he still follow Wang Xiuyuan's wishes? He would only fight Wang Xiuyuan to the bitter end.

Since he was going to die sooner or later anyway, suffering a little torture before death was indeed very painful, but as long as he could cause trouble for Wang Xiuyuan, Hu Zhenxiang would surely be willing in his heart.

Now, Wang Xiuyuan had fully demonstrated his ruthless side in front of everyone, and then proactively proposed a seemingly completely feasible method, giving these people a glimmer of hope.

Then, the internal resistance of Hu Zhenxiang and the other Peace Gang members would instantly drop to the lowest point. It would make their subsequent interrogations of others twice as effective with half the effort.

With so many people captured tonight, how troublesome would it be to torture and interrogate them one by one!
