"Why would I spare you?"

"Money? Do you think I would need any money."

"Leave your finger? Sure I'll leave it...off your body."

With that, he pressed down on the handle and swiftly cut a finger off Hu Bao's hand. Wrapping the finger in gauze he stopped the blood from pouring onto the floor. The pain was unbearable causing Hu Bao clench his mouth and almost pass out. Feeling the same metal device on another finger he prayed for his end to come quicker.

"So...Hu Bao I'm sure you know who l am by now."

Shivers ran down his spine "yes yes of cour-se."

"You know why I have brought you here."

"..."

"Not speaking? That's fine I'm sure this will remind you." With that he applied pressure to the hand without fully clamping down.

"Yes, Yes I Do!"

"I want all the names."

"I don't know any names. I swear I don't know anyth-."

Xi Long pressed down and cut the finger off his hand.

"Again."

"I-I don't have the names on me. My phone, my phone I-I recorded all the names as backup."

Snap, the third finger was cut.

"We have already checked your phone, seems like losing your fingers was not enough to make you tell the truth. I can do worse."

"Nooo no I promise I am not lying...its in my other phone. The other phone is in a vault behind the painting in my attic. Please...please spare me."

Glancing at Shufen who stood silently outside the cage, he signaled for some of his men to check out the alibi.

The clock ticked, it had been twenty minutes and there was no news of if there was in fact another phone. Xi Long sat in a wooden chair bored as he view the tortured man laying at his feet. Hu Bao's body was covered in cuts that slowly bled. Every mark was made strategically so that he would last for as long as possible. The shivering body lay against the stone cold floor awaiting his judgement. Hu Bao tried his best not to make a sound so that he would not draw unnecessary attention to himself.

'How could this be! How did Han Xi Long even find out I was part of it? Do we have a mole?!' His mind was filled with questions as he tried to think of how he was found out. It had been five years since the incident so he thought he was safe. Who knew the monster was just bidding his time before he attacked. Regret filled him as he would have never done it if he knew this would happen.

No matter what Hu Bao told himself it was just his pain and desperation speaking. He would have never regretted it if he did not get caught. His mind was filled with greed for money and power.

The ring of a cellphone broke the silence. Shufen held the phone to his ear as the men reported back the results. Walking to his boss he bent down and whispered into his ear.

"They have found the phone, six names have been found."

Xi Long's eyes turned dark at the amount of people involved, he knew that it had taken a team to skillfully plan this tragedy. He personally had already taken care of two people, now there were six more on his list.

"Kill him."

His expression was cold as he rose from his chair. Leaving the cage, Xi Long ripped his gloves off his hands into the trash as a sickening snap was heard behind him. Shufen quickly followed behind his boss as they headed back into his car. The horrors of what happened, left at the doorstep of the house. Shufen had long been accustomed to seeing his boss this ruthless and blood thirsty. He was still afraid but his respect and loyalty for him outweighed the fear.

"I want the phone on my desk before I get home."

"Of course, they have already set out to your house."

"Mhm... any news on my kitten?"

Shufen cried, he still had not found anything and thought that his boss had momentarily forgot but he was wrong. His boss would never forget and he was in danger until he did not find her. It surprised him that his boss had such an interest after only 5 minutes of meeting them but he did not question his orders.

"I am looking into it boss. All tracks have been covered but I am sure we will find a way."

"...sure?"

"We will!"

'Looks like another sleepless night for me. Hu hu. Please god let me find this woman.'
