"Yes, I did promise," he said.
"But now that you've been caught by the Dragon Group, do you think the Shadow Organization will get wind of it?"
"If I let you go now, what will the Shadow Organization do?"
Zhou Yu said with a look of innocence.
He was thinking of the two of them, after all!
If the Shadow Organization found out that Baldy and Skinny were caught by the Dragon Group and released so soon.
They would definitely suspect the two of them of betrayal!
By then, the Dragon Group might let them go, but the Shadow Organization would kill them!
Baldy and Skinny clearly knew this as well. They exchanged a glance and shivered.
"So, what do you say? Hotel, or freedom to move around now?" Zhou Yu asked deliberately.
Skinny gritted his teeth and looked up. "Can you... can you take us to the Dragon Group's prison?"
In that short moment, Skinny had thought it all through.
He felt that even a hotel wasn't safe.
A mere team of Dragon Group members, was that enough?
What if the Shadow Organization got the news and was determined to kill them both!
As it stood, the safest option was to go to the Dragon Group's prison first.
It would be best to leave after the storm had passed!
At this point, Skinny wasn't even considering if he could get out of the Dragon Group's prison once he was inside!
Zhou Yu had never heard such a strange request.
So, naturally, he had to grant them their wish!
Thus, the Dragon Group members escorted Skinny and Baldy back.
On the way, Zhou Yu contacted Lin Weidong and told him the location of the USB drive.
"Their cleanup target is this USB drive. Old Lin, find it as quickly as possible," Zhou Yu said in a low voice.
Lin Weidong on the other end was surprised by this unexpected bonus.
He was even more surprised by how quickly Zhou Yu had acted.
He had just apprehended the individuals and had already extracted the information!
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Weidong said, "Xiao Yu, bring your people over to the Shadow Organization's stronghold and rendezvous with us."
Zhou Yu had initially planned to return directly to the new recruit training base.
Upon hearing this, he could only agree reluctantly.
Thanks to the intelligence provided by Zhou Yu, Lin Weidong and the Dragon Group quickly found the USB drive.
Along with the USB drive were some documents and cell culture dishes of experimental subjects.
"These are definitely the core secrets of the Shadow Organization!"
"With these, I believe we can quickly decipher the Shadow Organization's concoctions!"
Zhao Ruyue exclaimed excitedly as she examined the documents.
Lin Weidong nodded and said with some curiosity, "Tell me, how did Xiao Yu manage to get those two cleanup operatives from the Shadow Organization to talk so quickly?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yu's name, Zhao Ruyue's body trembled slightly.
She then pretended to be nonchalant and replied, "Zhou Yu always has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Perhaps he used some psychological tactics."
Lin Weidong let out a wry smile.
The people they had apprehended at the stronghold earlier were still refusing to speak, no matter what.
Zhou Yu, on the other hand, was making rapid progress!
Lin Weidong was now wondering if he should hand over this entire matter to Zhou Yu to handle.
The progress would undoubtedly be much faster than it was now!
As the two were talking.
Zhou Yu arrived with his people.
As soon as he entered, Lin Weidong's face lit up, and he clapped Zhou Yu on the shoulder, saying loudly, "Good job, you rascal, you've really got a knack for this!"
Zhou Yu showed a helpless expression. "Old Lin, mind the occasion!"
Lin Weidong coughed to cover his embarrassment and then asked the question that was troubling him. "How did you get them to confess so quickly?"
"Nothing else, I just promised them that I would let them go on the spot," Zhou Yu said, shrugging.
Lin Weidong's gaze fell on Skinny and Baldy not far away, making him even more confused.
Didn't he promise to let them go?
Why were they brought back?
Could it be that Zhou Yu was lying only to those two?
A Dragon Group member nearby, seeing Lin Weidong's confusion,
Stepped forward and explained, "Old Lin, we were going to let them go, but they asked to go to prison themselves."
"Ah?" Lin Weidong stammered, looking at Baldy and Skinny as if he had seen a living dinosaur.
Were there such strange requests in the world?
Seeing Lin Weidong's misunderstanding, the Dragon Group member quickly explained further, "They were afraid of being hunted by the Shadow Organization, so they wanted to go to our Dragon Group's prison to lie low!"
After hearing the last sentence, Lin Weidong finally understood what had happened.
He couldn't help but glare at the Dragon Group member.
"Don't talk with such dramatic pauses!"
He almost made Lin Weidong believe that these two Shadow Organization members had some peculiar habits...
"Old Lin, you don't know how persuasive Doctor Zhou is. He can talk the dead into life!" the Dragon Group member said with admiration.
After witnessing Zhou Yu's negotiation skills firsthand, all the Dragon Group members present were greatly enlightened!
Lin Weidong twitched his mouth and ordered the Dragon Group members to search the entire Shadow Organization stronghold.
After confirming that no area had been missed.
They then headed back!
On the way back.
All the Dragon Group members were treating Zhou Yu's tactic of 'blackmailing' them as a treasure!
In the past, they had only thought of following the rules and doing things properly.
They had never considered that things could be done this way!
Now, they had truly opened their eyes.
It would be of immense help to their future interrogation work!
Not only were the Dragon Group members discussing Zhou Yu, but the medical team was also talking about him.
After all,
It was Zhou Yu who led two new recruits to infiltrate the Shadow Organization's stronghold this time.
And then he had extracted crucial information through deception.
Zhou Yu deserved the greatest credit!
From this incident alone, it was evident that Zhou Yu was not only bold but also intelligent.
Zhao Ruyue listened to everyone's discussion, and her small face fell into deep thought.
"Doctor Zhao, no wonder you're always chasing after Doctor Zhou. Although he has no background, his abilities are truly exceptional!"
A colleague from the medical team nudged Zhao Ruyue's arm, a teasing smile on his face.
"That's right, that's right. I didn't understand before, why was Doctor Zhao, the flower of our department, chasing after Doctor Zhou? So he's a stock with great potential!"
Many colleagues teased Zhao Ruyue.
This caused a blush to spread across Zhao Ruyue's small face.
A flicker of panic crossed her dark eyes, and her heart suddenly began to race.
But soon, Zhao Ruyue remembered that she had been pursuing Zhou Yu for so long without gaining his recognition.
This fact made Zhao Ruyue feel as though a basin of cold water had been dumped on her face.
"Please stop talking. Doctor Zhou and I have nothing to do with each other. If you joke like this, he will be angry," Zhao Ruyue said in a low voice.
The other colleagues also noticed Zhao Ruyue's unhappiness. After exchanging glances, they all fell silent.
