Chapter 609: Chapter 609 The True and the False are Hard to Distinguish
In Gao Leiming’s eyes, Zhang Hongbo was just an oversized kid, a character for amusement at most. When they had caught him, it was more or less on a whim; they hadn’t treated it like a big deal.
"What are you yelling about? Keep it up, and I’ll throw you down from upstairs." Gao Leiming glared at him and said.
Zhang Hongbo then chuckled heh-heh and said, "Stop hitting him. I know where Xiang Yu is."
As soon as Zhang Hongbo spoke, Gao Leiming and his crew immediately grew interested. Although Zhang Hongbo didn’t seem that old and didn’t appear to be a person of importance, if they offered him some benefits, he might actually reveal Xiang Yu’s whereabouts.
Gao Leiming passed the steel pipe to a brother beside him and then walked over with a heh-heh laugh, saying, "As long as you tell me where Xiang Yu is, I’ll give you whatever you want, including beautiful girls. You seem pretty young, so I bet you’re still green."
Zhang Hongbo quickly nodded and said, "I’ve never touched a woman before."
No sooner had he said this than Ouyang Xiu coughed on the side and nearly spat blood. He knew Zhang Hongbo; despite his young age, the kid had too much experience in that area. If you were to say he was green, Ouyang would never believe it, not even if you killed him.
But Gao Leiming didn’t know about this. He still thought Zhang Hongbo was an innocent young man.
"Release him, and also find a couple of good-looking girls to have ready," Gao Leiming told the brothers behind him. His meaning was clear: as soon as Zhang Hongbo disclosed Xiang Yu’s location, he would get endless pleasure.
Zhang Hongbo was untied, and rubbing his hands together, he chuckled heh-heh with gleaming eyes, probably thinking about a mishmash of things after hearing about the two beauties.
"Now you can tell me where Xiang Yu is, right?" Gao Leiming asked, unable to wait any longer.
Zhang Hongbo then stretched himself lazily, looking very weary, and said, "Locked up for so long, I’m both hungry and tired."
When Gao Leiming saw Zhang Hongbo still being ungrateful, a cold light flashed in his eyes; no one had ever dared to act like this in front of him. Had Xiang Yu not been so important to him, he wouldn’t have been so patient.
Nevertheless, Gao Leiming managed to suppress the anger in his heart and commanded someone to send over some delicious food. Meanwhile, another person brought over a big, soft chair for Zhang Hongbo to lie on.
Preparations outside were swift, and in a matter of minutes, they had brought over lots of tasty food. Zhang Hongbo was starving and, disregarding everything else, began to devour the food.
Gao Leiming sat on the side coldly watching, determined to make Zhang Hongbo pay the price for lying if he dared to do so.
"Hey hey, don’t just eat by yourself," Shi Jian, tied up to the chair, reminded Zhang Hongbo the moment he saw the kid eating joyously.
Zhang Hongbo then appeared to come to a realization and stuffed some meat into the mouths of Shi Jian and Ouyang Xiu.
At this point, some of Gao Leiming’s men couldn’t stand it any longer and let out a cold huff, about to rush over, but Gao Leiming quickly stopped them. The three of them were all here now, and he wasn’t afraid they’d pull any tricks.
Half an hour later, Zhang Hongbo had eaten everything, and everybody stared at him in shock. Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that Zhang Hongbo could eat so much.
"Didn’t get to eat much, but whatever, this will do," said Zhang Hongbo, clutching his stomach and looking dissatisfied.
"..."
"You can talk now, right." Gao Leiming was pretty patient, but now Zhang Hongbo was close to exhausting it.
"What do you want to know?" Zhang Hongbo then lay on the sofa, assuming the posture of the big boss.
The brothers behind Gao Leiming couldn’t stand it once again and wanted to come over and beat up Zhang Hongbo, as they had not seen anyone dare to speak to Gao Leiming like this before—he was the first.
"Where is Xiang Yu?" Gao Leiming tried to keep his tone calm and collected, thinking to himself that as long as he caught Xiang Yu, they would all have to die.
"Is the beauty ready?" Zhang Hongbo asked with an annoying grin.
Gao Leiming was already on the verge of exploding inside, but he kept a smile on his face and nodded. He didn’t speak, afraid that he would give himself away if he did.
"Alright then, I’ll tell you Xiang Yu’s whereabouts. You don’t have to go looking for him; he will come specifically for you. He will come tonight," Zhang Hongbo said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Shi Jian was instantly alarmed. Could Zhang Hongbo be out of his mind, spilling the truth like that? But then again, it occurred to Shi Jian that Zhang Hongbo didn’t actually know that Xiang Yu would be coming back and was just bluffing at the moment.
Yet his casual bluff had accidentally revealed the truth.
Zhang Hongbo continued pompously, "You all just wait to die tonight., Xiang Yu will surely come to wipe you out and then rescue us."
Gao Leiming and the brothers behind him were stunned for a moment, then burst into unrestrained laughter; maybe this was the biggest joke they had heard.
By now, Gao Leiming had fully seized control of the underground power. He wouldn’t believe that anyone would come to trouble him.
"Kid, if you continue to spout nonsense here, I might just cut your tongue out," Gao Leiming said as he took out a dagger and played with it.
"Who’s talking nonsense? It’s not evening yet; how do you know he won’t come? He will definitely arrive tonight with an army and storm in to wipe you all out," Zhang Hongbo claimed boastfully.
It was only then that Gao Leiming totally lost all hope in Zhang Hongbo; his conclusion was that this kid knew nothing, could only boast, scam for food and drinks, and was quite bold.
"Zhang Hongbo, don’t talk nonsense, how could you tell them all this? You’re harming Xiang Yu," Shi Jian seized the opportunity to shout.
"Keep acting, just keep acting; I want to see how long you two can keep this performance up," Gao Leiming, seeing Shi Jian speak up, was even more convinced that Zhang Hongbo was just talking trash.
This was a play directed by Shi Jian and Zhang Hongbo, and finding this out enraged Gao Leiming. He walked up to Zhang Hongbo and kicked him in the chest, sending him and the armchair flying.
To think that he wasted so much time here and yet hadn’t gotten anything out of it.
"Dammit, Xiang Yu hasn’t even arrived yet; how do you know it’s a lie?" Zhang Hongbo shouted.
Before he could finish, Gao Leiming stepped forward and started kicking him wildly. He was truly furious, especially at being made a fool of by such a youngster. He felt insulted.
"Hang him up and beat him properly, daring to deceive me, asking for death," Gao Leiming roared.
His brothers, who had long been irked by Zhang Hongbo, quickly moved forward, tied Zhang Hongbo up with a rope, and hoisted him into the air. Then they proceeded to beat him ferociously.
Shi Jian privately felt relieved that the other party didn’t believe Zhang Hongbo’s words, for if they had, Xiang Yu would have been in danger the moment he arrived. Yet, he was very worried because Zhang Hongbo was enduring a brutal beating. If the beating continued like this, Zhang Hongbo’s frail body wouldn’t be able to take it...
