Chapter 428: Torture
"Of course, dear. There's no doubt." The woman seemed to be asleep after hearing Su Ruomei's answer. Soon, footsteps emerged as the entire floor remained quiet.
No more suppressed shots, nor large movements albeit commotions above had yet to end. Her subordinates had secured the first floor.
"All done?" Su Ruomei asked without looking back.

"Clear."
"We've got further work. Find the leader-like figures and bring them to a room." Su Ruomei ordered. "I've so many questions to ask."
"I'm not sure they will answer."
"It's not a will; it's a must if they want to survive."
"Right now then?" The operators nodded.
"We don't have time to dilly-dally. Make it quick." Su Ruomei replied.
"Gladly obliged. I guarantee to make it as quick as possible." A few operators chuckled and fanned out again in search of Su Ruomei's demands.
Half a minute had passed, Su Ruomei heard harsh questionings and painful groans, which didn't stop until her subordinates brought news that they were ready for further interrogations.
Su Ruomei tried to separate from the poor woman who was asleep, without disturbing her sleep. But the moment she moved, she was stared by a pair of panicked eyes.
"Don't worry. I'm not leaving you. Remember other sisters might need our help. You said about the dungeon and I'm trying to find one." Su Ruomei smiled and explained.
"Be quick and come back." The woman parted her lips several times and merely gave a reminder.
Su Ruomei hummed and gestured to nearby operators to take care of the woman. Fortunately, Jiang Yu was leading another team and wasn't close.
With this woman's behavior, she would have fumes coming out of her ears in anger. Someone was poaching hers. Another opponent to rob her beloved.
Su Ruomei stepped into another room and discovered two men, kneeling on the floor with hands cuffed behind, a few bleeding and wounds on their faces. They suffered pretty rough treatment.
Two operators guarded them and acknowledged Su Ruomei, as soon as she showed up. Su Ruomei nodded back and dragged a chair, its legs screaming unwillingly.
The wails attracted the two men's attention, causing their expressions to change a bit. Their premonitions told their brains that whatever the new visitor would do next, nothing would be good for them.
Su Ruomei slammed the chair in front of them and took a seat. Her body leaned forward as she asked: "Do you have any idea, why you're here?"
The two men shrugged and exchanged glances. One man with a stronger build and fiercer temperament replied. "Who knows? Before we realize it, we've been dragged here. As police units, how dare you lay harsh hands on us? Don't you know, you're giving us more reasons to be free?"
"It's not your concern anyway. This time, you guys are over." Su Ruomei replied.
"Yeah. Yeah. It's not like we haven't heard of these before. Same sentences but the speaker disappears from the world. Woosh." The man whistled and mocked.
"Your and your boss's friends in the sky lost their wings. They are also in deep trouble. Anyway, where are the girls?" Su Ruomei stopped explaining and got into the topic.
"What girls? We don't know what you're talking about?" The man pretended to be puzzled and asked back. "Speaking of girls, I somehow realize all of you are also women. Hah…I fancy a strong and heroic temperamental woman. Never had the chance to experience it; I tried several types. Ma'am, I'm happy to be arrested; how about I give you a good time."
Su Ruomei felt nauseous by the man's chauvinist remarks and asked again with a chill tone this time. "Where are the rest of the girls, you held captive?"
"Ahh! How would I know when I have no idea what you're talking about?"
Su Ruomei took a deep breath, stood up, and punched him in the face. The man lost balance and slapped the floor with his cheek. She had controlled the force, to avoid killing him without draining the last use.
One of the operators behind stepped forward and lifted the man back to the original position, then retreated as if what Su Ruomei did counted as nothing.
Cracking her wrist, Su Ruomei asked again. "Do you recall something now?"
"Ptui—" The man spitted out and chuckled. "Wow! I don't expect a woman to be so brave….."
He hadn't finished talking when Su Ruomei threw another punch. This time on the opposite.
"Still nothing?" Su Ruomei was getting more and more impatient. The man kept chuckling before being raised to a kneeling posture again.
"I don't know…All I want is your love, madam. I'm so satisfied. Hehehe."
Su Ruomei frowned. "Do you think I'm joking when I ask you a question? Don't test my patience. Now answer my damn question! Where are the girls that you gangs manipulate and lock them in the dungeon?"
"I don't know…pfft." The man vomited and felt difficulty in breathing. Su Ruomei struck at the abdomen part, near the diaphragm.
The man coughed a few times before another blow arrived. Su Ruomei held the man's neck and punched heavily two times, then asked again.
No answer. Su Ruomei had expected the lengthy durations but she really didn't have time. It seemed, that unless these bastards saw real blood, seriousness was miles away.
Because of the short duration, her subordinates could only bring up two small or medium leader-like existences and Su Ruomei didn't really like resorting to the extreme method.
Now she sighed in realization in order to deal with psychopaths, you have to be more maniac than them. In anger and on purpose, Su Ruomei choked the man and let his feet hand in the air about inches away from the ground.
The man's face twitched and transformed several times, but his eyes were still resisting. Her fingers got tighter and firmer, as she ignored the feeble kicks the man attempted.
Su Ruomei restrained herself from snapping her fingers to kill this man. She really desired to but innocent victims needed her more. Until the man stopped twitching, Su Ruomei released him and let him fall, choking and gasping for fresh air.
"Give this man a seat. I'm sure, in our next moments, he might neither be able to sit or stand firm." Su Ruomei ordered the operator, who responded by bringing a chair and forcing the man to sit.
The man's resistance was held firmly under the operator's iron grip on his shoulder, pressing him against the furniture.
Su Ruomei asked the next guy again. Although his eyes displayed fear, he still refused to admit it. Furious, she repeated the process.
