At the same time, Fu Tingchen, who was watching silently, was already worried about Shen Mingxuan. However, he did not show it on the surface, but his slightly clenched fist inadvertently revealed a hint of his true mood at the moment.

At this time, Gui Xiucai watched Shen Mingxuan being beaten indifferently. At the same time, he also stole a glance at Fu Tingchen's expression from the corner of his eye, and his brain was constantly thinking:

"When I caught him just now, I clearly saw Fu Tingchen dodge unconsciously. But looking at his expression at this moment, it seems that there is nothing unusual. Am I really overthinking?

No, it’s better to be safe than sorry. I still have to test them again to see if they are up to something.”

Thinking of this, Gui Xiucai walked up to Fu Tingchen and said in a sarcastic tone: "Brother Silver Fox, how long do you think this kid can last?"

Fu Tingchen had a blank expression on his face and replied coldly: "I don't know, what does it have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Gui Xiucai narrowed his eyes and stared at Fu Tingchen, trying to find flaws in his expression.

While the two were talking, the sound of the whip hitting Shen Mingxuan rang out again. In this way, Shen Mingxuan silently endured the pain of the whip. The muffled sound of the whip hitting his body echoed in this dark and gloomy torture chamber, which was creepy.

Time seemed to stand still, and only the sound of the merciless beating and Shen Mingxuan's occasional groans in pain filled the entire space, making people terrified.

Jia Lao Hu, Fu Tingchen and Gui Xiucai just watched coldly, with different expressions.

At this moment, Fu Tingchen finally couldn't bear it anymore, frowned and said: "It's getting late, you guys can take your time to interrogate, I'm going out first. There's a woman waiting in my room, I have to go and accompany her."

When the ghost scholar heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "This man is wearing a military uniform. He will definitely ruin our plans. How can we stop until we get something out of him?"

Fu Tingchen responded, "I see this guy is so stubborn, if you keep beating him like this, he may not be able to speak out."

The ghost scholar smiled evilly and said, "That may not be the case!"

As he spoke, Gui Xiucai signaled Jia Laohu's men to stop beating him, and then pulled out a sharp dagger from among the many torture instruments and threw it in the air a few times. Then, Gui Xiucai walked in front of Shen Mingxuan and waved the dagger in Shen Mingxuan's face.

At this time, Shen Mingxuan was beaten so hard that his head drooped and his body trembled slightly in pain, as if the endless torture had drained all his energy.

However, just as he noticed the ghost scholar approaching, he used all his strength to raise his head very slowly and with great difficulty. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the ghost scholar holding a dagger and approaching with a ferocious face.

At this moment, a raging flame of fearlessness instantly ignited in Shen Mingxuan's eyes. Then, he gathered all his strength and spat rapidly and fiercely at the ghost scholar.

The ghost scholar was unexpectedly spat in the face by Shen Mingxuan. He was stunned at first, but did not get angry. Instead, he laughed out of anger.

Then Gui Xiucai took out a handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped the saliva off his face. Then, he wiped Shen Mingxuan's face twice with the handkerchief soaked with saliva, and then threw the handkerchief on Shen Mingxuan's head.

"Oh, this rabbit bites when it gets angry! It's rude not to reciprocate, so I have to repay you in a good way."

After saying this, the dagger in his hand, which was originally dangling in front of Shen Mingxuan's face, began to slowly slide down. Just as the dagger reached Shen Mingxuan's crotch, Gui Xiucai looked at Shen Mingxuan with a wicked smile and said:

"Tell me, if I cut off your manly possessions, even if you were still alive, wouldn't you be living a life worse than death?"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Mingxuan shuddered unconsciously, feeling a chill spreading rapidly from his spine to his entire body, and his body could not help but tremble violently. He swallowed hard a few times, gritted his teeth and said:

"Humph! Now that I've been captured by you, you can kill me or chop me up as you please! I've even risked my life, let alone a few pounds of meat!"

The ghost scholar became even more angry when he saw Shen Mingxuan's stubborn attitude, but the smile on his face became brighter, and there was a creepy madness in that smile.

I saw him holding a dagger, slowly raising his arm, and about to take action.

At the same time, Fu Tingchen witnessed this scene and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. His knuckles turned white due to the force, but his face remained calm, like a calm lake.

Just as Gui Xiucai's dagger was about to stab Shen Mingxuan's crotch, Fu Tingchen shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, startling everyone present.

At this time, Gui Xiucai stopped his hand, turned his head to look at Fu Tingchen, and said in a bad tone:

"Brother Silver Fox, why do you feel sympathy for this man? You know, if you pity your enemy, it will only sow the seeds of disaster for yourself! Tell me, why do you want to stop me?"

After saying this, Gui Xiucai stared at Fu Tingchen, thinking to himself, "This Silver Fox is so patient. He was unmoved by my probing. Now he finally can't help but stop me. Sure enough, there must be something fishy going on between him and the man in front of him!"

Fu Tingchen's expression was calm when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Ghost scholar, don't think too much. I just think that this kind of torture may not be able to get useful information. Why not try another way, maybe you can get something."

The ghost scholar narrowed his eyes, staring at Fu Tingchen closely, as if he wanted to see through his expression, and said, "Oh? What do you think, Brother Silver Fox? Do you have a better way to make this stubborn guy speak?"

Fu Tingchen glanced at Shen Mingxuan and said slowly, "Put him down first, give him some water, and let him catch his breath. Maybe when he regains some energy and can understand his situation, he will tell the truth without us having to do anything."

The ghost scholar snorted coldly, with disdain on his face: "Humph, Brother Yin Gu, your idea is too naive. This kid is so stubborn, how could he give in just for such a small favor? I think you have other intentions!"

Fu Tingchen's face darkened after hearing this, and his tone was filled with anger: "Ghost scholar, what do you mean? I am only trying to get our business done, but you are so suspicious!"

The ghost scholar smiled but his face was not smiling, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Brother Silver Fox, don't be angry. I am also saying that it is better to be safe than sorry. After all, this matter is of great importance, and there will be no room for error."

Just when the two were at a stalemate, Jia Lao Hu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Stop arguing! Just do as Brother Silver Fox said, let the man go first and see what happens."

At the same time, when the tied Shen Mingxuan heard Fu Tingchen's voice, he immediately guessed that the Silver Fox they were talking about was Fu Tingchen.

At this moment, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he did not dare to show it, for fear of being noticed by Gui Xiucai and others. Then, Shen Mingxuan couldn't help but wonder, since this person is Fu Tingchen, then he is among these bad guys, is he an undercover agent who has infiltrated the inside?

At this time, Gui Xiucai listened to Jia Lao Hu's words. Although he was unwilling, he could only do as he was told for the time being. His men took Shen Mingxuan down from the rack. At this time, Shen Mingxuan collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

At this moment, Fu Tingchen stepped forward and slowly handed Shen Mingxuan a bowl of water. His eyes seemed to have deep meaning, and he slowly advised: "You have been captured by us, think about it carefully. As long as you tell the truth, you can avoid physical pain and still keep your life."

Shen Mingxuan took the water and drank it in big gulps, ignoring Fu Tingchen's persuasion. However, the moment his eyes met Fu Tingchen's, they understood each other.

Fu Tingchen understood everything from Shen Mingxuan's firm and resolute eyes. And Shen Mingxuan also gained strength from Fu Tingchen's seemingly indifferent but actually concerned eyes.

At this time, Gui Xiucai was watching closely, not missing any suspicious signs. He said in a gloomy tone: "Brother Silver Fox, you are so concerned about this kid, don't tell me any secrets."

Fu Tingchen snorted coldly: "Ghost scholar, don't judge a gentleman by your own mean heart. I just want to get useful information from him as soon as possible."

The ghost scholar sneered and said, "I hope so. If I find anything wrong with you, don't blame me for being rude."

At this time, Shen Mingxuan finished drinking the water and recovered some strength. He looked up at everyone with a more determined look in his eyes.

"Hmph, don't waste your time. Even if you are a little more kind to me now, I won't say anything!"

When Gui Xiucai heard this, he was immediately furious and was about to explode, but was stopped by Fu Tingchen. He looked at Shen Mingxuan and said slowly: "Brother, why are you so persistent? As long as you tell us what we want to know, maybe there is still a way to survive."

Shen Mingxuan sneered and spat at Fu Tingchen fiercely: "Humph, how can I survive if I fall into the hands of evil people like you? I have thought about it, I won't say a word!"

At this time, Jia Lao Hu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I think this kid won't cry until he sees the coffin. Since the soft approach doesn't work, let's continue with the hard approach!"

Fu Tingchen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Let's give him some more time to think about it. Forcing him like this may not work."

The ghost scholar interrupted sarcastically: "Brother Silver Fox, you are so protective of him, is there something wrong between you two..."

At this time, Shen Mingxuan, who was lying on the ground, saw Fu Tingchen almost exposed himself in order to help him. He couldn't bear to see Fu Tingchen in danger because of him again, so he interrupted Gui Xiucai and said loudly: "Give up this idea! I will never give in!"

The ghost scholar snorted coldly: "Okay, you have a tough bone, then I want to see if your bone is tougher than my knife."

So, he waved his hand and his men hung Shen Mingxuan up again in a big-legged position. Without saying a word, Gui Xiucai walked up to Shen Mingxuan with a dagger in his hand, and the edge of the dagger was aimed directly at his vital parts.

At the same time, Fu Tingchen could only watch this scene quietly, feeling powerless. He knew clearly that he could not stop it, otherwise it would make Gui Xiucai more suspicious, and he would not be able to justify himself.

Just when Gui Xiucai was about to take action, a woman's voice came from outside the house: "Stop!"

The shout was so clear and loud that the ghost scholar's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, their hearts full of confusion. They didn't know who this woman who suddenly appeared was and why she wanted to stop everything.
