This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 374: Chapter 88 Concluding the Case

“Xiao Fei! Do you know what you’re doing?!”

Xia Huan was terrified to see Li Fei hold a knife to Chen Xiang’s neck.

Bringing Li Fei directly to see Chen Xiang, a prisoner, was already against the rules. If Chen Xiang ended up dead at Li Fei’s hands, Xia Huan might have to strip off his official uniform for good!

Li Fei ignored Xia Huan’s words and just calmly looked at Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang pulled at the corner of his mouth, smiling, and said,

“As a death row prisoner, you threaten me with death. Don’t you find that funny?”

He had colluded with spies from the Western Countries, an offense punishable by death. The only reason he was still alive was that the Inspection General Office hadn’t extracted any valuable intelligence from him yet.

Hearing this, Li Fei calmly said,

“While on my way here, I carefully reflected on the situation back then. You could have killed me yourself, but you insisted on using someone else. Apart from a specific reason, you were actually trying to save your own skin. If that student from the Earth Martial Arts Hall had succeeded in killing me, you wouldn’t have had to do it yourself, and even if you were later suspected and arrested, you could claim innocence, saying you knew nothing.”

Chen Xiang was stunned, then looked at Li Fei, “What’s the point of saying all this now?”

Li Fei replied, “There is a point, it shows that you actually don’t want to die; you really want to survive.”

Chen Xiang laughed, “Who would want to die? But now I can’t survive.”

“No.”

Li Fei shook his head, “If you knew from the beginning that you were bound to die, you would have chosen suicide when you were captured to avoid these subsequent punishments. But you didn’t choose suicide, meaning you’re not a Death Soldier. Someone behind you must have promised they could save you; you still have hope, which is why you’ve been able to hold on until now.”

Standing at the back, Xia Huan was startled by this line of reasoning and suddenly realized Li Fei made sense.

He had interrogated many prisoners and was a professional in this domain.

Those who seemed to have a firm belief in the inevitability of death, feeling indifferent towards dying, were the ones whose defenses were easily broken.

On the other hand, those who still had hope were usually the ones who could endure and persist the most.

After being caught, Chen Xiang had been tortured by the Inspection General Office for months, but he had continued to endure, which was certainly rare.

Perhaps it was because Chen Xiang had always believed there was a way out for him that he was able to last this long?

Then who could the person behind him be?

Certainly, it was ridiculous to expect a spy from the Western Countries to rescue him from here.

Thinking about it, Xia Huan suddenly understood why Li Fei had specifically come to see Chen Xiang.

“I don’t understand a word you’re saying.”

Chen Xiang sneered.

“I don’t care whether you understand or not. Like I said before, I’m going to ask the next question only once. If you don’t answer, I’ll kill you right away,” Li Fei said, looking into Chen Xiang’s eyes, his calm demeanor revealing a crazed intent to kill!
