Stuck in a Chinese novel

An extra chapter for the well received support from you guys. I hope you keep reading my novel.

=====

"The acid has seeped in quite deeply. Some tissues are permanently damaged so skin grafts aren't an option, some vessels have also been permanently damaged by acid leaving Mister Yi without an arm.

Miss Li's left eye has also been permanently corroded and nothing can be done about that." The doctor explained the dire situation to Wei Jun as he himself examined the extent of damage to Zhan Yi and Quan Li.

The burns were horrific and terrible and Wei Jun was sure that unless it was his brother, no other doctor in the world could do anything about it now. The anger emitting from him increased with each word of the doctor.

"Leave us." Wei Jun interrupted the doctor mid-explanation because he was sure that if he heard any more of it, he would lose it.

Xia Lu cried as she stood by Quan Li's side who was unconscious but from her contorted expression, Wei Jun could tell that the pain was too much for her to handle that even the sedatives couldn't suppress it.

"How did this happen?" Wei Jun asked Lao Chen who was worriedly standing in a corner, worried about Wei Jun's anger.

"The set was being wrapped up and Quan Li and Zhan Yi were still there. A biker strolled past the set and threw something at Quan Li. Zhan Yi was standing closest to her and he tried to protect her, getting himself injured in the process." Lao Chen reported.

"What of the biker?" Wei Jun asked, suppressing his anger.

"I managed to apprehend him and he is still in our custody but the police are asking for him to be handed over." Lao Chen replied.

Wei Jun ignored the last part and only focused on the part where they still possessed the biker. "Get me forty million Yuan in ten minutes." Wei Jun ordered. Lao Chen was taken aback by the order but he didn't question it and simply left to get it.

Xia Lu was still sniffling but Wei Jun let her be. He took a seat on the sofa and thought of nothing. He knew the more he thought, the angrier he would become and the consequences of his anger were severe.

He waited for just seven minutes, and Lao Chen returned with two briefcases. "Leave, both of you." Wei Jun said once he had the money.

"But--" Xia Lu began to argue but Wei Jun interrupted her, "Just leave. I won't repeat myself." There was something in Wei Jun's voice that compelled Xia Lu to heed his order. She realized what it was. Fear, her body had instinctively obeyed his command out of fear.

Wei Jun opened the briefcases once both of them left and converted the money to shop coins. Once he had done so, he purchased two phoenix tears. Once they were purchased, he fed both of the vials to Quan Li and Zhan Yi respectively.

Instantly, their expressions began to soothe and the pain began to disappear from their faces. The wounds also began to regenerate and while Wei Jun couldn't see what had become of Quan Li's eye under the bandage, he was sure it would heal as well.

They weren't up yet but according to the system, they would be in a few seconds. Wei Jun left the room and addressed Xia Lu outside, "Look after them. The experience could be traumatic so help them through it."

Wei Jun didn't explain any further as he knew that Xia Lu would witness everything herself shortly and as for the questions, he wasn't in a mood to answer any. "Take me to the biker." Wei Jun commanded Lao Chen.

======

Wei Jun entered an empty warehouse where a man was bound to a chair. He didn't look worried at all, instead, he was nonchalant as if he were in his own home.

"Oh? What is this? Has the big boss come for me himself? Are you here to torture me? Sorry to spoil your fun but I won't break no matter what." The man began to ramble even before Wei Jun fully entered.

"So, you're a professional, huh?" Wei Jun remarked.

"Best in the field." The man bragged.

"Not so much if you got caught." Wei Jun once again remarked.

"Ah, that? That was just unlucky. Who knew you had a cultivator on your side." The man said while glancing at Lao Chen.

"Yeah. Who knew?" Wei Jun said as he took a seat opposite the man.

"Well, not that it matters anyway. The police know I'm here. Sooner or later, you will have to hand me to them." The man explained the reason why he wasn't so worried.

"Oh?" Wei Jun acted surprised and added, "Didn't you know?"

"Know what?" The man asked, amused at whatever Wei Jun could throw at him.

"You hurt your head pretty bad when you fell. Apparently, you sustained an internal injury and bled out while we were dealing with the victims of the accident." Wei Jun replied.

"What?" The man asked as if he had heard a load of nonsense just now.

Wei Jun didn't bother explaining and stood up. He took off his jacket and handed it to Lao Chen while asking him to leave. Lao Chen did just that. Wei Jun bought an apron from the shop along with another item. Wei Jun wore the apron while he said, "You know, from one professional to another, I hope you understand that this is nothing personal."

Wei Jun said as a vial appeared in his hand. The man was a little unsettled but kept himself composed because he knew that if he showed signs of fear, he would lose.

Wei Jun smiled as he titled the vial in his hand and let just one drop land on the man's thigh.

Lao Chen on the outside, heard the most painful shriek he had ever witnessed or heard in his life. And it wasn't the only one. They kept on coming and coming for an hour straight.

After an hour, the door opened from where a bloodied Wei Jun emerged. The apron was fully covered in blood and there were spots of blood on his suit and face.

"Hand him over to the police. They can do whatever they want now." Wei Jun nonchalantly ordered Lao Chen while making his way to his car.

Lao Chen entered the warehouse and even with his years of experience, he was horrified by what he found. A mangled man with burn spots all over his body from where flesh and bones were peeking through. Half of the head of the man was shaved and the skin underneath was peeled off. Half of his face was in the same condition.

Some of his fingers were missing while some seemed like they were ripped off instead of cut by a blade. And the absence of a tongue was as clear as day since he could see it on the ground.

The man himself was barely breathing and didn't seem like he would survive the night. Lao Chen braced himself as he called a guard to let the police in but also called for an ambulance with everything and contacted a few of the family lawyers.

[Hydra's saliva (diluted)

Tier: E

Description: The diluted saliva of the mythical seven-headed creature, the hydra, which can melt through stones and metals of unparalleled hardness.

Additional information: It does not have any poisonous effects.]

Although Wei Jun tortured the man in many other ways, the most reaction he obtained was when he would drop just one drop of this special saliva on his skin. The saliva was so acidic that it even melted through the skin, flesh and vessels, making the bone become visible through it.

Wei Jun didn't want to stop but he didn't want heat on himself so he stopped before the man died. Of course, he only stopped at the point where the man was already ninety percent dead and was just barely alive to not count as dead.

Wei Jun entered his car and dialed Li Wei's number. The call was picked up in two seconds. "Yes, boss?"

"I need the whereabouts of someone. Wherever they are." Wei Jun relayed his order.

"Who, boss?" Li Wei asked on the other end.

"A woman by the name Na Tong." Wei Jun simply replied.

"Just a minute, boss." Li Wei replied from the other side. In about two minutes, Li Wei replied, "One Na Tong, age forty-eight has been seen in Chow's Palace. She has a reservation for the seventh table alone."

Wei Jun nodded and asked, "How long ago?"

"Just been about ten minutes, boss. The cameras in the restaurant show that her meal hasn't been prepared yet." Li Wei replied.

Wei Jun nodded and said, "What's the security detail on her?"

"Just one guard. Armed." Li Wei replied.

"Good work." Wei Jun praised and ended the call. He entered the location of the hotel in his car's GPS and drove off to the place where the woman was.

He arrived at the high-end luxurious restaurant in ten minutes and parked his car. He entered the restaurant and even though he didn't have a reservation, he was granted access because of who he was.

He swiftly recognized the woman in skin-colored clothes, sitting on a table and enjoying her meal while a bodyguard stood by her.
