Meanwhile, the team that had captured Duan Mingyu's men unexpectedly also found some of Lin Hui's people who had failed to escape. Without time to report to Chen Kai, they swiftly arrested them as well.
Chen Kai was quite pleased with his subordinates' achievements when he met with Duan Mingyu.
He approached Duan Mingyu directly and inquired,
"Lin Hui escaped, she took the village chief's life as a hostage, and I had no choice. Now, you are the only one who might know where Lin Hui's next hideout is. Tell me, and I won't make things difficult for you."
Duan Mingyu could only offer a helpless shake of his head and a wry smile.
"I originally thought that even with wings, Lin Hui couldn't escape, but I didn't expect you to let such a formidable enemy slip away just to save a mere village chief's life. Your misguided compassion could very well cost you your life."
Chen Kai's face was stern as he stared at him intently.
"Is a human life so trivial in your eyes?"
