"Don't worry, Third Elder… It's not our first time doing this kind of thing; we have plenty of experience," an elite replied with a joking tone.
Big Dipper couldn't help but give Third Elder a thumbs up. Third Elder truly didn't rely on luck to make his way up to an elder position back then; his techniques and courageousness alone were superior to an average person's.
For the next several days, Liang Meixuan and Huang Mingkun were tortured to an inch of their lives by the Fearless Alliance elites, and their psychological defenses were on the verge of collapse. The elites didn't hit or curse them, and there wasn't a single wound on them, but the torment they suffered was indescribable.
Liang Meixuan and Huang Mingkun hadn't slept for three whole days, and there wasn't a ray of light inside the dark room, prohibiting them from knowing whether it was day or night.
One of the Fearless Alliance elites got a hold of some sleeping pills and grounded them into powder before putting them inside bottles of mineral water and making them drink it.
Huang Mingkun and Liang Meixuan also had clips clamping their eyelids and couldn't close their eyes, so their eyes were completely bloodshot and they couldn't hold on.
"Heh." Third Elder smiled and entered the room, examining the suffering of Liang Meixuan and Huang Mingkun. "How do you feel?"
"You… you f*cking b*stard… Kill us if you have the guts…" Huang Mingkun howled hysterically when he saw Third Elder, but this howl didn't have much strength behind it since he was extremely exhausted and could feel his heart starting to fail.
"Steward Huang, why are you so angry…? Why would we kill you? We're also law-abiding citizens, so we wouldn't do such a thing… Since you two don't want to talk, let's continue. I believe you'll eventually be willing to talk," Third Elder said with a chuckle.
"No… I'm begging you. Let me sleep a little… Just a little… Just a little is fine!" Liang Meixuan pleaded with a sob. She really couldn't stand it anymore.
She was extremely exhausted but wasn't allowed to fall asleep. This type of torture was thousands of times more painful than physical torture.
"If you want to sleep, it's very simple… You just need to tell me how Ye Shao'an died, and I'll immediately allow you to have a good sleep. How about it?" Third Elder asked with a smile.
Liang Meixuan replied, "Ye Shao'an… was… was killed by Ye Wanwan's family…"
"Hm… Well, I'm not too satisfied with this answer. What should I do?" Third Elder looked at Liang Meixuan before turning to glance at Big Dipper.
"Big Dipper, continue to feed them some sleeping pills." Third Elder walked out of the room.
Huang Mingkun and Liang Meixuan's face contorted with terror.
"No… I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything… It was Huang Mingkun and I who had someone kill Ye Shao'an then framed Ye Shaoting and Ye Mufan for it!" Liang Meixuan cried.
Third Elder paused in his steps and turned around with a smile. "I'm rather satisfied by this answer, but you have to mention this as though you're having a casual conversation with Huang Mingkun; you can't say it to us."
"How come, Third Elder?" Big Dipper turned to Third Elder in confusion.
Third Elder glanced at Big Dipper but ignored him.
