Chapter 378 Wolf Fang (3/3)
Li Muyang arranged a room for the two of them to be alone.
Yang Chen asked for paper and pen from Li Muyang.
The two sat facing each other, as if it were an interrogation.
Yang Chen opened his notebook while saying, "Do you know why I am so angry?"
"I know!" Gao Hong lowered his head and said, "I embarrassed you."
"Hah!" Yang Chen let out a cold laugh, "Ask yourself now, do you deserve the title of Wolf Fang?"
"I..."
"Tell me!" Yang Chen shouted, "What is the mission of Wolf Fang?"
Gao Hong immediately straightened up, sat up straight, looked Yang Chen in the eyes, and shouted loudly, "The mission of Wolf Fang is to tear out the enemy's throat!"
"What is the slogan of Wolf Fang?"
"Not afraid to sacrifice, not afraid to bleed, only wish to die in battle, perish with the enemy!"
"What is Wolf Fang?"
"Ferocious! Ferocious! Ferocious! Not afraid to die!"
"What is the pride of Wolf Fang?"
Gao Hong was stunned, looked at Yang Chen, a trace of struggle appeared in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "In Wolf Fang... you are... pride!"
He is no longer in Wolf Fang, not a Wolf Fang anymore!
"Then!" Yang Chen stared at Gao Hong, asking, "Tell me now, do you still deserve to be a Wolf Fang?"
Gao Hong lowered his head and did not answer.
Yang Chen snorted coldly, "Look at yourself, you've fallen to such a state now. I told you before, everyone experiences various pains and hardships, if you get through it, you are a king, if not, you're just an ant trampled underfoot!"
"I'm sorry!" Gao Hong said in a low voice, bowing his head.
Yang Chen sighed, pressed down the spring of the pen, wrote a few words in the notebook, and asked, "Alright, let's talk about other matters."
Gao Hong nodded.
"How did you know I was back?" Yang Chen asked.
Yang Chen was always worried about this issue, but because of Ye Xin, he hadn't had the time to ask.
Hearing this question, Gao Hong hesitated.
Yang Chen stared at Gao Hong, and said in a deep voice, "What? Unwilling to say? Still want to keep it secret for someone else?"
"No...I..." Gao Hong seemed very conflicted.
Yang Chen quietly waited, waiting for Gao Hong's choice, and also waiting for Gao Hong's answer.
After a long while, Gao Hong seemed to end his internal struggle, raised his head, and said, "Boss, do you remember Zhou Botao?"
"Zhou Botao?" Yang Chen suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Gao Hong, "Are you saying, it was Zhou Botao who told you that I was back?"
Previously, Yang Chen had even gone to the hospital looking for Zhou Botao's summary, but now unexpectedly, Zhou Botao appeared in Yang Chen's sights in such a way.
"That's right!" Gao Hong sighed, "That day, after dinner, I was exercising as usual, when the warden told me that someone was looking for me."
"After I went out, I found a person wearing a trench coat... this person... was Zhou Botao!"
"He... has become very terrifying now, I think... you wouldn't want to see him."
"He told me... you were back, asked if I hated you? Wanted to ask about the matters of those years."
"He didn't say much else, but this sentence took root in my heart the more I thought, the more I felt something was wrong, the angrier I got, and the more aggrieved I felt! Eventually, I couldn't stand it, so I escaped and wanted to find you for an explanation."
"He mentioned before that you were in Ningchuan, so I came over."
After hearing all of this, Yang Chen took a deep breath and frowned in thought.
He was organizing his thoughts, as Zhou Botao's appearance caught him by surprise.
"You... say Zhou Botao is very terrifying now? In what way?" Yang Chen asked slowly.
To be honest, Yang Chen somewhat doubted that Zhou Botao made Gao Hong come looking for him.
Because Zhou Botao had always been following Yang Chen, he knew about the subsequent events, and there was no need to mislead Gao Hong.
Besides, Zhou Botao had no grievances or animosity with him, why use Gao Hong for revenge? Moreover, Zhou Botao also knew someone like Gao Hong wasn't a match for Yang Chen, it would be in vain.
Plus, Zhou Botao was sent back due to illness, as there was no other choice but to accept control, it was unavoidable.
But how suddenly Zhou Botao seemed to disappear, only to then be found with Gao Hong, Yang Chen truly couldn't fathom Zhou Botao's real motives.
Gao Hong said Zhou Botao was terrifying, but Yang Chen couldn't understand what kind of terror it was.
Yang Chen stared at Gao Hong, awaiting his response.
Gao Hong rubbed his arms, feeling goosebumps rise all over.
He slowly said, "How should I put it... That day, Zhou Botao was wearing a black trench coat, with a hat, and his face was unseen, but... I could see that he seemed to wear an iron mask, his eyes were glowing red, there was no exposed skin anywhere on him, even his hands had gloves, he was wrapped tightly, but gave a very dangerous feeling. It felt just like a scene out of a horror movie, like you're someone who can't fight even a chicken, accidentally stumbling into a psycho killer's lair, trapped in a room, and he's out to kill you. It's like when watching 'The Ring', Sadako really crawls out of the TV..."
Gao Hong rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and said, "Even thinking about it now gives me goosebumps!"
After Yang Chen finished listening, he furrowed his brows.
Covered tightly, wearing an iron mask, eyes red...
This indicates, Zhou Botao's illness seemingly hasn't completely healed?
Or is it something else entirely?
The most important question is why Zhou Botao would use Gao Hong against him!
Yang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know where Zhou Botao went? Where is he? What is he doing now? How did he get involved?"
Gao Hong shook his head, "That I really don't know."
Gao Hong said, "I was just called out, Zhou Botao spoke to me briefly and then left, he didn't pay me any attention, I really don't know anything else. However, I do know the warden who called me out, you might start your investigation from him, maybe you'll find something."
Yang Chen nodded and said in a serious tone, "Let's not talk about this for now, speak about how you killed the person from the Vipers and the investigation results."
Hearing this question, Gao Hong immediately clenched his fists, blood filling his eyes, "This matter, I will never forget!"
Gao Hong began explaining what happened.
Yang Chen listened quietly, and the result matched what he had deduced.
After returning, Gao Hong immediately sought people to inquire about the situation, finally tracking down the Vipers, forcing them to talk, and eventually killing them.
Subsequently, being pursued, Gao Hong ran for a while, then unable to find any other traces of the Vipers, chose to surrender.
After finishing, Gao Hong raised his head to Yang Chen and said, "Boss, please help me! I wish to continue following you to fight enemies! To continue eliminating the Vipers!"
Yang Chen glanced at Gao Hong, put away his notebook and stood up, coolly said, "I'll give you a day to think it over, why do you want to continue following me to fight enemies?"
After speaking, Yang Chen walked out.
