Chapter 451: The Truth And The Contact (2)
Chapter 451: The Truth And The Contact (2)Zhu Kunyu had no choice but to get straight to the point. "It’s true that the young man was taken by Guan Zhongliu into the interrogation chamber for secret torture. Reportedly, the Flaying Blood Magistrate even prepared a newly designed torture device to experiment with on the boy. For confidentiality, Guan conducted the interrogation alone for a full twelve hours. During this time, the guards outside were swapped out four times. But in the end, when the staff, unable to wait any longer, broke into the chamber, they found that both Guan Zhongliu and the young man had disappeared.”
"Disappeared?" Huang Fulai paused to think for a few seconds. "What do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like," Zhu Kunyu replied. "They vanished without a trace, leaving no evidence behind. Since it was a secret interrogation, there was no surveillance either. To this day, no one knows what happened inside, nor can anyone find any sign of Guan Zhongliu or the young man."
Huang Fulai opened his mouth but could only manage, "How could that be?"

But based on the information from my sources, it’s true. The Fifth City Leader, who oversees the dark prison, is furious. The entire city of Haijing is
A staggering one-third of the city’s population resided in a run-down area occupying less than one-tenth of Haijing City’s total landmass. The numbers were grotesquely disproportionate. Ten million people. In any other location, this would be multiple times the population of an entire base city.
As Li Xiaofei looked at the bustling crowd before him and thought about these figures, he couldn’t quite place the feeling stirring in his heart. None of this should have happened.
Lost in thought, he arrived at the entrance of a nightclub. The neon lights evoked a sense of Old Shanghai nostalgia, while the exaggerated decorative lighting and the stream of glamorous young women entering and exiting the venue made it clear that this was the largest nightclub in the slum’s eastern district.
Li Xiaofei stepped inside slowly. He wasn’t there for entertainment. He was there to find someone. His first contact was a renowned dancer.
