Chapter 390: Throw Him In The Crocodile Pool

As a qualified military officer, Daisy liked playing games to improve her action thinking. She was now rapidly assembling and disassembling guns. Before Edward entered the study, he heard the sounds and knew what she was doing.

"What're you playing?" Edward rested his head on Daisy's shoulder from behind and looked at the high-end guns on the screen. "It's been a long time since I last practiced. I want to see whether I get slow. Why don't you dry your hair?" Daisy frowned when Edward's wet hair touched her face. Then she put aside the game, picked up a clean towel beside her and stood up.

What's the result?" As Daisy stood up, Edward sat down obediently. It had been a routine recently, and Edward had become accustomed to it. In fact, he did not dry his hair deliberately because he liked to see Daisy's unintentional ardent love and care for him. In doing this, he knew how important he was to her.

"Not satisfactory. I am not fast enough." Daisy gently dried Edward's black hair with the soft towel. Edward didn't like to dry his hair. He didn't care about the drips of water, so Daisy habitually prepared some clean towels in the study for unexpected needs.

"Don't force yourself. It makes my heart ache." Edward pulled Daisy onto his lap and kissed her lips. He twined his hands around her waist.

"Really?" Daisy caressed Edward's handsome face. In the beginning, Edward's cuddling would fright her, but now, she had gotten quite used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Yes, I mean it. So, don't make me worry." Edward looked Daisy straight in the eye. He was afraid Daisy would question his words.

"Okay. I promise I'll always take your feelings into account." Daisy knew Edward's words had many meanings, but no matter what he meant, she would put him in first place. Over the years, she had been prepared, knowing she would meet this man again. She had even lived only for him for a while. Her deep love for him enabled her to go on living.

"Honey, thank you." Edward leaned his head against Daisy's chest to feel her strong heartbeat. It was the simple happiness that he had always sought. Even a small thing like this could delight him.

"For what?" Daisy caressed Edward's soft hair. She liked to stay with him. At this moment, she felt her life was meaningful.

"For everything." Edward had once wondered where he could find another woman to love if Daisy didn't appear, and thought that she would have never walked into his life if it hadn't been for Justin. Fortunately, things happened as he wanted. Now she had become a part of his life.

The night was a warm harbor where lovers expressed their affections. It also witnessed various crimes.

"Boss, it's him." It was dim in the room, but Luke could see clearly the man kneeling on the ground. In his fifties, the man's wandering and furtive eyes revealed that he was not a good man at first glance.

"What do you want? We live in a country with laws. Let me go. It's a crime to detain me." The man struggled hard, trying to untie the rope that bound his hands.

"Oh? I thought you are ignorant of the law. Sorry if I underestimated you." Luke sneered coldly and evilly.

"Who are you? Why did you tie me up? I just came back to the country not long ago. We're not enemies. You're making a mistake." The man looked at the cold man standing in front of him, shivering in fear. What god did he piss off to run into such a devil?

"Are you Paul Du, Mrs. Ouyang's distant cousin?" Luke looked down at him with an impatient look on his face.

I don't know any Mrs. Ouyang. I'm not Paul Du." The man began to panic. He didn't know what Luke was up to.

"You don't know her? You should know Yakira Mo." Luke wouldn't bring Paul Du here if he didn't have total confidence. Paul Du was scheming, but he wasn't a match for Luke.

"I don't know what you're talking about." The man looked away. He had decided to deny it.

"Really?" Do you want me to resort to force? Do you think you can cover up the crime you committed by changing your name? As the saying goes, if you don't want someone to know anything, then don't do anything. I can dredge up what happened more than 20 years ago if I want to."

Luke knew Paul Du was acting dumb. He wouldn't forget what he had done. Luke gave the sign, and another man stepped forward out of the shadows. He rocked Paul's head with a hammer-like fist. Another man hauled his head up by the hair, and pounded his face again. A foot flashed out of the darkness and knocked him to the ground. He heard his ribs crack and he spat blood. Another kick rolled him over onto his back, and a fist came down again, shattering his nose and covering him in blood.

"Ouch! Help! I really don't know who these people are. Even if you kill me now, I still don't know who they are, " Paul Du gasped, forcing the words past ruined lips. Luke ignored Paul Du's screams. Such scum must be tortured cruelly, or he wouldn't divulge anything useful.

"You don't know them? Fine, since you know nothing, you're of no use to me. Guys, throw him into the crocodile pool." Luke let out a cold smile. All people feared death. Those who liked scheming were more afraid of death. Luke was sure that Paul Du was no exception.

"Yes, boss." There was really a crocodile pool. On their way here, they showed the pool to Paul Du on purpose to threaten him.

Don't! Don't throw me in! I'll tell you everything!" Paul Du broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of what he had seen in the pool. Hundreds of crocodiles greedily stared at him with their mouths open. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants. Living is better than dying. Before he figured out what Luke really wanted, it was better to stay alive. And more importantly, with all his limbs.

Good. Tell me, are you Paul Du, the cousin of Mrs. Ouyang from Ouyang Foreign Trade?" Luke played with the automatic pistol with a silencer in his hand. He spun it idly around one finger.

"Paul Du is my former name. If Mrs. Ouyang is called "Paul Du is my former name. If Mrs. Ouyang is called Yakira Mo, I'm indeed her cousin. But why you ask me about this?" Paul Du was scared, but it was nothing compared to the pain they inflicted on him. He couldn't understand why he was arrested so soon after he returned to the country. Luke even knew the name he used more than 20 years ago. So someone knew what he did back in the day? It couldn't be. There would be no trace if Yakira didn't betray him.

"Tell me how you conspired to kill the former Mrs. Ouyang more than 20 years ago." Edward was clever. He had tried everything to freeze all the accounts of Paul Du and forced him to return to the country to ask Yakira for help, so that he could control him. Yakira was doomed.

"I didn't do that! I do know Yakira Mo, but I didn't kill anyone. I really don't like death. Or blood, " he spat, blood flying from his mouth.

Why would I kill anyone?" 'I can't admit it. He's fishing for information. He doesn't have any strong evidence against me. I can't tell him what he wants to know, ' thought Paul Du.

Paul Du, don't play the fool! We have total confidence that you did this, so we're holding you here. I think the crocodiles will eat well tonight." Luke bent to raise Paul Du's chin, grinning wickedly.

No! God! Stop threatening me with that! I really don't know anything. What do you want me to say?" Paul Du thought to himself, 'I can't admit it. They won't feed me to the crocodiles. Either way, I can't live. The crime I committed is beyond forgiveness. I killed the former Mrs. Ouyang and her unborn baby. Back then, Yakira had just made a wedge between the former Mrs. Ouyang and her husband, and when Mrs. Ouyang got pregnant suddenly, Yakira had no choice but to kill her. We conspired to stage an accident. If the police finds out the truth, I will be an accomplice of the murder. Before this man has strong evidence against me, I have to keep my mouth shut.'

"Fine. You know nothing about it? I have told you what would happen. Guys, hang him over the crocodile pool. Let's see how long he can keep it up." Luke thought, 'Do you think I won't kill you before I get the evidence? Fine, let's do something fun. I won't feed you to the crocodiles. Instead, I'll hang you over the crocodile pool. Seeing hundreds of hungry crocodiles open their mouths in the pool, you'll surrender out of fear.'

"Boss, do you mean it?" A subordinate hesitated. He didn't know whether Luke really meant it or just wanted to intimidate the guy. No matter how bold Paul Du was, he would get crazy if he really hung over the pool. Some ferocious hungry croc might jump up and take a bite.

What's wrong with you? Did I stutter? Hang him! Cut him down when he's ready to tell me the truth. Luke thought,. Hmmp! No one can bluff me so easily. I'm never kind to anyone.

Got it, well do it right now. The shout and cursing faded away as Paul Du dragged out. Luke put the pistol into his holster and sneered. Paul Du, you got the birds eye view of the pool tonight. Maybe you'll count their teeth to pass the time, thought Luke.

Be careful, see to it that the crocodiles won't swallow him before we get the evidence. Luke give the order to the rest of his men. He wasn't concerned about the death of such an insidious villain as Paul Du, but he didn't want to run into a dead end again. He couldn't make trouble for Daisy, or he would suffer.

No problem. Boss we won't let you down. All of them were cautious. In the past, they didn't care about these things at all, but after they knew Daisy's identity, they had strictly follow the rules. As Edward ordered, they had to give priority to Daisy's interest. They couldn't let others have anything against Daisy. Otherwise, the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate.
