Chapter 965 Surveillance Shut Down...
She hesitated, then didn't speak directly, "Uncle Wei, how are you doing in Kyoto? Do you have enough to eat? If not, I can have someone send you some specialties from our hometown."
Wei Changgeng chuckled, "Haha, Yunxi, you're so thoughtful. I'm doing well here. The internet is so advanced now, you can buy anything. It's just that Linlin has been missing you."
"I'll come to Kyoto to see you all another day."
"However, I always feel that the snow pears here in Kyoto aren't quite authentic."
"Uncle Wei, I'll have someone send you a few boxes of snow pears tomorrow."
"Hahaha, that would be wonderful!"
Following that, Su Yunxi chatted with Wei Changgeng for a few more minutes, but Wei Changgeng didn't mention Chen Xuan at all.
Finally, Su Yunxi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Wei, do you know what happened to Chen Xuan?"
After a moment, Wei Changgeng teased, "Hahaha, Yunxi, I knew you wouldn't call me for no reason. Are you trying to ask how to resolve Chen Xuan's situation?"
Su Yunxi complained, "Uncle Wei, what are you talking about? I'm genuinely concerned about you. Governor Wang has already agreed to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"However, although I've pressured Governor Wang and he promised to investigate this matter thoroughly, I'm afraid someone might harm Chen Xuan. You know, some places, some times, are very dark, and I'm a bit worried."
"Hahaha..." Suddenly, Wei Changgeng burst into laughter.
"Uncle Wei, what are you laughing at?"
Su Yunxi frowned. Why was Wei Changgeng laughing? Could this be good news?
Wei Changgeng took a breath and said solemnly, "Yunxi, you can rest assured."
"Oh? Uncle Wei, what exactly happened?" Su Yunxi frowned.
She was very curious why Wei Changgeng was so calm.
Wei Changgeng's expression turned serious, "Yunxi, this matter involves state secrets, and I cannot tell you. However, there is one thing I can guarantee: once that person arrives in the provincial capital, no one will be able to touch Chen Xuan, including Governor Wang Zhonghua!"
Su Yunxi blinked, not understanding, but since Wei Changgeng wouldn't say, she couldn't press further. Things would have to be this way.
However, Su Yunxi was still very curious about who this person was and how Chen Xuan knew such a person.
After hanging up, Su Yunxi relayed the content of the conversation to Jiang Biyun. Jiang Biyun said, "Since your Uncle Wei said so, there shouldn't be any problem. We'll just wait and see."
Su Yunxi sighed and could only nod.
Martial Alliance Interrogation Room!
"Chen Xuan, tell us, why did you conduct such inhumane experiments?"
A middle-aged man from the Martial Alliance said coldly.
As soon as he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from him.
His name was Lu Wei, in his thirties, and a student of Su Boqi.
He had served under Su Boqi since he joined the Martial Alliance. He wasn't very capable but was skilled at flattery, which was how he managed to please Lu Wei.
Su Boqi was lecherous. It was rumored that Lu Wei, in order to please Su Boqi, had gotten his girlfriend drunk and put her in Su Boqi's bed.
The next day, Lu Wei, only twenty-five years old, became the head of interrogation group one in the Jiangnan Provincial Martial Alliance Interrogation Room.
Now, only a few years later, Lu Wei, in his early thirties, had become the director of the Jiangnan Provincial Martial Alliance Interrogation Office. Mind you, the average age of previous directors was forty!
Chen Xuan, sitting opposite him on the interrogation chair, had heavy shackles on his hands and feet. He seemed somewhat indifferent to the interrogation.
"Chen Xuan, let me tell you, don't think that just because the higher-ups have ordered no torture, I have no way. In the interrogation room, I have a hundred ways to make people confess without resorting to torture!"
Lu Wei slammed his palm on the table, leaned forward with his hands on the table, and roared at Chen Xuan.
His temper was volatile and irritable, clearly indicating he wasn't a qualified interrogator.
However, Chen Xuan could see that it was all an act by Lu Wei.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Are you an idiot? When did I ever admit that the mutant experiment was related to me?"
"You still deny it?!"
"Alright, drop your clumsy act. Also, your word traps are useless against me!" Chen Xuan said calmly.
Lu Wei's expression stiffened, and he looked at Chen Xuan in surprise.
In his previous statement, Lu Wei had skipped a question, or rather, a prerequisite condition, which was that Chen Xuan was related to the mutant laboratory. If Chen Xuan had continued to answer his question, it would have been an implicit admission of involvement with the laboratory.
He had also deliberately acted so angry, wanting to make Chen Xuan fearful.
There was an experiment proving that people were more likely to let down their guard and tell the truth when in fear.
But he had overestimated himself and underestimated Chen Xuan.
And in the subsequent interrogation, an even stranger scene unfolded, turning into Chen Xuan interrogating Lu Wei.
"You just asked me why I conducted inhumane experiments, but you didn't ask me if I was involved in this matter, or if someone instructed you to do this?"
"No... no..."
"Was it Su Boqi or Su Ning? Tell me honestly! Otherwise, you're finished!"
"It's Su..."
Just as Lu Wei was about to speak and reveal everything, a cold shout rang out: "Useless!"
Lu Wei stiffened, turned his head, and saw Su Boqi's icy face. He instantly remembered what had just happened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn it, how was he being interrogated by this guy?
I'm the interrogator here!
He looked at Chen Xuan incredulously, wondering how he had fallen into Chen Xuan's trap...
"Deputy Alliance Leader Su..." Lu Wei knew he had made a mistake and said softly.
"Get out!"
Su Boqi glared at Lu Wei, hating that he couldn't be forged into steel.
You, an interrogator, being interrogated by a prisoner, you good-for-nothing!
"I'm leaving..."
Lu Wei, knowing he had erred, blushed and quickly stood up.
"You can go, I'll ask."
Su Boqi waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Lu Wei nodded and turned to leave, but Su Boqi called him back, "Any other instructions?"
"Turn off the surveillance." Su Boqi said calmly.
"Deputy Alliance Leader Su, the higher-ups have issued an order not to use torture," Lu Wei guessed Su Boqi's intention.
"Who said I was going to use torture? Turn off the surveillance."
"Alright."
Lu Wei walked away, gritting his teeth.
The interrogation room door closed, and the entire room instantly became somber, appearing eerie and terrifying.
Su Boqi stared at Chen Xuan and said mockingly, "Chen Xuan, I advise you to confess honestly."
"Confess? What do I have to confess? It's you, Su Ning supports the laboratory in Jiangnan Province and has committed monstrous sins. As a member of the Su family and Deputy Alliance Leader of the Martial Alliance, I wonder if you are also involved in this matter?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing.
From Dr. Dao's mouth, Chen Xuan already knew that Su Ning was the behind-the-scenes financier of the laboratory. Therefore, Su Boqi was likely involved as well, which was why he asked.
Su Boqi shivered under the cold gaze.
"Don't spout nonsense. How could this matter involve me, let alone Su Ning!" Su Boqi quickly denied.
"Is that so?"
Chen Xuan let out a few cold laughs.
Chen Xuan's words seemed to make Su Boqi feel threatened. He glared fiercely at Chen Xuan, "Kid, confess quickly, or you'll face torture!"
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Chen Xuan retorted.
"The surveillance is off! And they don't dare to tell the truth, so how could it implicate me?" Su Boqi said with a sneer.
"The surveillance is off, that's great."
Chen Xuan rubbed his chin and smiled devilishly.
Su Boqi was stunned. Logically, the surveillance being off should be a good thing for him, so why was this guy so happy?
Clang!
The sound of shackles falling to the ground echoed.
Su Boqi turned his head and his face immediately changed.
He saw Chen Xuan stand up from the interrogation chair, the shackles on his hands and feet having fallen to the ground. Chen Xuan was rubbing his wrists...
