The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 999 - 1014: Punishing Ivan

"Lin Mu, you've got some nerve. The Tsar wants to get rid of you, and yet you dare to come to Haba? You're practically walking into death. Just one call to the Tsar, and you'll be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs, no chance of survival!" Ivan glared at Lin Mu and said.Lin Mu looked at Ivan, shook his head helplessly, "I call you a fool, and you still don't believe it. If I dare tell you, do you think I'd give you the chance to tip them off?"

"W-what do you want?" Ivan's tone became vigilant, knowing Lin Mu's identity as a calamity star, and naturally factoring it into how he viewed Lin Mu's situation.

"I'm not looking for trouble, like I said, I just want to ask you a few questions." Lin Mu spread his hands.

"What questions?"

"Simple for you, just tell me the time and place of your last arms deal." Lin Mu said nonchalantly.

Ivan glanced at Lin Mu, "You even know about that?"

"Of course, if I didn't know, why would I come to you? If you tell me, nothing will happen to you, no trouble. But if you don't..." Lin Mu chuckled, "Well, you know the consequences. I suggest you fess up."

"You want to know? Ha, dream on. I'm not going to tell you; this is my territory!" Ivan said, looking at Lin Mu.

"I don't care if it's your territory or not. You have to answer my question." Lin Mu said, maintaining a calm demeanor.

"No way." Ivan refused.

"Ha, Da Shan, it seems Ivan here needs some convincing! What do you suggest?" Lin Mu chuckled.

"Easy, Brother Lin, perhaps I should give him a little tickle." Da Shan smiled and walked forward.

Ivan watched Da Shan warily, as a murderous aura emanated from him, but Da Shan merely chuckled, showing disdain towards Ivan.

"Feeling itchy, eh? I'll give you a scratch." Da Shan said, then lunged at Ivan with a swift move.

Ivan didn't back down. He couldn't beat Lin Mu, but it didn't mean he couldn't handle others. So he gathered his energy and charged at Da Shan.

With a loud bang, Ivan and Da Shan collided.

But Da Shan's strength was evidently much greater. In just three moves, one punch clashed with Ivan's, and the other two hit Ivan squarely, sending him flying into the wall.

"Too weak, not even enough for a warm-up!" Da Shan rubbed his fists disappointedly.

Ivan clutched his chest, spat a mouthful of blood, and then Da Hai picked him up from the ground and punched him in the stomach.

"Ugh!" Ivan spewed another mouthful of blood.

Thud, thud, thud, Da Hai kept pummeling Ivan's stomach.

"Da Hai, avoid the face, we don't want to raise suspicion." Lin Mu exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"Got it, Brother Lin, don't worry, I won't kill him, just cure his itch." Da Hai said, continuing to hammer Ivan's stomach.

After taking a dozen punches, Ivan finally stopped. Lin Mu walked over, glanced at Ivan, and smiled, "I'll give you one more chance: tell me the trade location, or you'll find yourself unable to live, unable to die, understand?"

Ivan's mouth was full of blood, he chuckled tragically, "Lin Mu, if you dare, kill me."

Lin Mu patted Ivan's bloody face, "Haha, you're overrating yourself. I won't kill you; killing you would be too easy. Rest assured, you'll talk eventually. Just wait!"

"Alright, I want to see what tricks you've got up your sleeve." Ivan glared at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu smiled, secretly channeling True Qi. Suddenly, a cold Black Qi emerged from his right fingertips, and he placed his right palm on Ivan's chest. Ivan shivered but didn't feel much physical change.

"Ha, Lin Mu, is that all you've got? Looks like you're not that impressive." Ivan sneered.

"Not yet, but soon you'll feel the agony of being unable to live, unable to die." Lin Mu chuckled and then called to Da Hai, "Da Hai, tie him up, make sure it's tight, or this guy might hurt himself."

"Yes, Brother Lin." Da Hai nodded, took out a rope, and tied Ivan's hands and feet, securing him to the balcony railing.

Ivan was tied like a large caterpillar, initially feeling no discomfort. He kept cursing at Lin Mu, but soon he started to feel itchy all over, wanting to scratch but unable due to the tight bindings.

At first, the itch was bearable, but another five or six minutes in, Ivan felt the itching intensify, like countless ants biting inside his body.

"Da Hai, shut his filthy mouth, or he'll make too much noise." Lin Mu chuckled.

Da Hai nodded, taking out a piece of cloth to gag him.

"Mmm mmm!" Ivan started thrashing about, continuously making sounds of discomfort.

After a while, Ivan's eyes bulged wide, veins popped on his forehead, and his face flushed red, looking as if he was enduring indescribable pain.

"Ha ha, not a pleasant feeling, right?" Lin Mu chuckled softly.

"Mmm mmm!" Ivan glared at Lin Mu, shaking his head on the ground, constantly making muffled sounds.

At this moment, Ivan felt as if his whole body was being bitten by thousands of ants, and this sensation spread from the inside out, becoming increasingly unbearable, making him feel as if he could neither live nor die.

"I'll give you another chance, remember, the next chance won't come for at least five minutes. If you really can't stand it, you'd better answer my question obediently. I'm asking you for the time and place of the weapons deal. If you want to say it, blink twice," Lin Mu said.

"Mmm mmm..." Ivan lay on the ground, unable to break free, wanting to die but unable to, his eyes glaring, wishing he could kill Lin Mu.

"Alright, holding out, are you? Then take your time. I believe you can't last five minutes, because no one has ever lasted more than ten minutes!" Lin Mu chuckled again, then lit a cigar.

Five more minutes passed, and beads of sweat began to form on Ivan's forehead.

"Hey, are you going to talk or not?" Lin Mu smiled and asked.

Lin Mu had great confidence in this new torture method he invented, because according to Chinese medicine theory, the human body is composed of essence, Qi, and spirit. When Qi flows smoothly, one is strong; when Qi reverses, one is doomed. By injecting this inner Qi in reverse into the human body, Lin Mu completely disrupted the physiological environment, creating a sensation of being unable to live or die, which no one could endure.

This feeling was indeed unbearable, akin to being bitten by thousands of ants, from limbs to the entire body. Ordinary people would find it intolerable once the itching reached their hands, and even the most stoic could only endure until their upper limbs were numb before crying out!

In Ivan's case, the itching had spread to his arms and thighs, and would soon reach the stomach, then the upper body and finally the heart. Once it reached the heart, it caused excruciating pain leading to death, and anyone feeling this kind of itching would rather die!

In the end, Ivan finally let go of all his toughness, looking haggard and exhausted from the torture, blinked at Lin Mu as if begging for mercy.

"Ha ha, that's more like it." Lin Mu laughed softly, then again manipulated the black Qi to flow smoothly into his body, and moments later, Ivan felt like he had been granted amnesty, the sensation of being bitten by thousands of ants vanished immediately.

Ivan appeared as if waking from a nightmare, as though just arriving in heaven from hell. Lin Mu removed the cloth from Ivan's mouth, "Go on, tell me everything you know."

Ivan gasped heavily like a sick ox, his complexion recovering slightly, "I'll tell, I'll say everything."

"Go ahead, the time and location of the deal."

"The deal is the night after tomorrow at ten in an abandoned factory in the East Suburb of Haba District. The Tsar is personally bringing people because this transaction is very important, and he is fully prepared."

"Who are the people providing the weapons?" Lin Mu asked.

"Another underground organization," Ivan confessed.

Lin Mu nodded, "Very good."

Ivan glanced at Lin Mu, "Do you think telling you this will help? If you kill me, the Tsar will definitely know something has changed, so the time and location of the deal will change. If you don't kill me, I will report it, and the time and location of the deal will certainly change."

"Ha ha, it seems you're not stupid after all." Lin Mu patted Ivan on his head, "But since I'm asking you, I have a way to handle you!"

"What, what do you plan to do?" Ivan asked warily, watching Lin Mu.

"Nothing much, just make you forget about it," Lin Mu laughed, suddenly making a move. His right hand slowly drew out a mass of black Qi, gradually enveloping Ivan's head. The next second, smoke came out of Ivan's seven orifices, he seemed to become dazed, then fainted heavily to the ground.

"Brother Lin, does this trick really work? Will he truly forget about this after he wakes up?" Da Hai asked incredulously, feeling quite amazed.

"Of course. Recently, I've been practicing a cultivation technique that can change a person's inner Qi. I inject True Qi into his body, then drain all his inner Qi. This way, it's as if he has a brand-new consciousness, so for at least three days, he won't remember anything that happened today. As for previous matters, it's like a dream to him. Of course, after three days, when he wakes up, everything will already be over!"

"Oh, I see!" Da Shan and Da Hai nodded, still feeling it was somewhat unbelievable, but they were very impressed with Lin Mu's series of methods and trusted them without doubt.

"Da Shan, Da Hai, move him to the sofa," Lin Mu ordered.

Da Hai and Da Shan nodded, then carried Ivan to the sofa.

Lin Mu glanced at the blonde beauty Su Shan, whose emotions had calmed down considerably, "Well, beauty, are you coming with us or staying here?"

Su Shan looked at Lin Mu, nodding her head very trustingly, "I'll go with you."
