Chapter 13: Interrogation

The four of them hadn't even joined the unit yet, and they weren't his subordinates either, so Old Dog-Gao could only give them some ideological guidance.

But a trend like today's had to be nipped in the bud.

After all, not taking a single needle or thread from the masses was an iron rule of the army; using a mission as an excuse to fleece the wealthy was absolutely not allowed.

Meanwhile, Zhang Haiyan on the other side stared at the ninety-million reimbursement form, glanced at the secretary beside her, and asked in disbelief, "This is what they spent over these two months?"

"Food, clothing, housing, and transport are reimbursed by me, sure, but how did you spend over nine hundred thousand? You must be fleecing the rich, right? I should've just paid them wages myself."

Still, she was a billionaire, after all — she could afford to lose this little bit; consider it money spent to avert disaster.

At that moment, inside a five-star hotel in East Sea, Guo Jing and the four of them were sweeping through the dishes on the table like a whirlwind.

It had to be said, today was absolutely a day worth celebrating. First, the mission the Main God had left them was, for now, basically complete.

All four of them downed a glass except Zhang Chu'an. As for why Zhang Chu'an didn't drink — after watching Under One Person, he never touched a drop of alcohol again, terrified of repeating the embarrassing incident that had happened to him on Longhu Mountain.

Nie Huaishang set down his glass and asked Guo Jing and the others, "Do you think Black Cat will spill K2's secrets?"

The four of them began to think it over at that. Black Cat was finished now, but the K2 organization was still out there. If they could pry the secrets of this century-old organization out of Black Cat's mouth and then sweep them all up in one net, that would be ideal.

"Hard to say. He's no good man, sure, but he really is a person of extremely firm will. I doubt we'll get anything out of him."

Zhang Xiaofan said with certainty — even with a gun pressed to his head, the man had fought him to the death; even after he shot him four times in a row, Black Cat hadn't said a single soft word. This Black Cat was a tough guy.

"That doesn't necessarily follow."

Nie Huaishang said confidently.

"Why?"

Guo Jing asked.

Someone with such iron willpower was hard to interrogate anything out of, and precisely because of that iron willpower, illusion techniques were useless against him.

"K2 will, as expected, abandon Black Cat — after all, Black Cat has no value left. But besides K2, does Black Cat really have nothing else he cares about?"

Nie Huaishang said, lost in thought.

"You mean Zhang Haiyan and Ye Cunxin are both his weak spots, but would Black Cat really betray K2 for Zhang Haiyan and the others?"

Guo Jing asked, puzzled.

"Give it a try."

Nie Huaishang said, unconcerned.

The other three nodded and agreed to Nie Huaishang's plan.

The group headed to the police station like that. Just as they arrived, they saw Old Dog-Gao walking out looking dejected.

"What's wrong, Gao Shu? Black Cat isn't planning to give up a single bit of intel?"

Nie Huaishang asked curiously.

"That's right. No matter what method we used during this period, we couldn't get anything out of him."

Old Dog-Gao said regretfully.

"Oh right, Gao Shu, you told me Black Cat took the four of us for hitmen from a terrorist organization too, didn't he?"

Nie Huaishang confirmed again.

"Because you're all so young, your marksmanship is dead-on, and you strike decisively — very similar to the hitmen their organization has trained from childhood."

Old Dog-Gao answered with certainty.

"Gao Shu, then let me go in as one of the organization's hitmen to question him."

Nie Huaishang suggested.

"Fine, go give it a try. You're reliable, after all."

After Old Dog-Gao agreed, he checked in with the people at the police station and let Nie Huaishang and the others into the interrogation room.

Seeing Nie Huaishang and the others enter the interrogation room, a look of surprise appeared on Black Cat's face:

"Didn't expect you to have some nerve, did I? Walking right into a police station in broad daylight as hitmen."

"Senior Black Cat, the jianghu isn't about fighting and killing — it's about favors and human connections. You're going to have a billionaire wife; why wouldn't we have a friend with overwhelming power?"

Nie Huaishang said respectfully to the Black Cat before him, whose four limbs were all broken.

"You came here for K2's intel, didn't you?"

Black Cat couldn't help but mock.

"Everything I have today is thanks to you lot. You think I'd give you intel?"

Hearing Black Cat's words, Nie Huaishang didn't get angry; instead, he said politely, "Senior Black Cat, after this battle, your organization's deeds have already been exposed."

"K2's actions have crossed everyone's bottom line; it's bound to draw encirclement and suppression from all sides. Annihilation is only a matter of time."

"Then I still can't tell you."

Black Cat couldn't help but snort coldly.

Nie Huaishang asked with a cold, sharp look, "Senior Black Cat, do you know what the difference between us and the people outside is?"

Without waiting for Black Cat to answer, Nie Huaishang gave the answer himself: "It's that they have a bottom line, while people like us don't."

"What are you trying to do."

Black Cat asked, trembling.

Facing Black Cat's question, Nie Huaishang said something that didn't answer it at all: "You know, Senior Black Cat, I'm especially fond of a passage from Genghis Khan."

At this moment, Nie Huaishang's eyes and tone were filled with fanaticism: "The greatest joy in life is to vanquish the enemy, to chase the enemy, to take all that he has, to see those dearest to him bathed in tears, to ride his horses, and to take his wives and daughters for oneself."

"When I was young, I already took you as my greatest enemy. Now I've finally defeated you. Since I can't have your wealth and all you possess, I can only go after your wife and daughters."

"I have to say, Senior Black Cat, your wife and daughter are both very beautiful. On behalf of all the special forces in our organization, thank you."

After hearing Nie Huaishang's words, Black Cat's eyes nearly split with rage as he cursed Nie Huaishang viciously. Zhang Xiaofan wanted to step forward and give Black Cat a couple of slaps.

Nie Huaishang quickly held Zhang Xiaofan back and advised:

"We're about to put a green hat on Senior Black Cat in a bit. From now on, Senior Black Cat will have plenty of green hats every day — are we not even allowed to let him curse us a couple of times?"

The black cat, hearing Nie Huaishang's words, was so furious it wanted to fight them to the death, while Nie Huaishang watched with the expression of someone enjoying a play, calmly sipping his tea.

"Senior Black Cat, have you decided yet? If you haven't, stay here and think it over properly; we'll go visit your wife and daughter first."

Just as Nie Huaishang was about to leave, a thunderous shout rang out: "Come back!"

The black cat gritted his teeth and, summoning all his strength, said, "I'll speak."

After this incident, K2 would surely suffer a devastating blow; the few things he cherished in his life were K2, Zhang Haiyan, and his unseen daughter, Ye Cunxin.

K2 would barely survive the encirclement and suppression by various forces; that cherished thing was definitely gone.

He himself was an assassin; recalling the perverted and cruel methods he had once inflicted upon his wife and daughter, he immediately called out to stop Nie Huaishang and the other two who were about to leave.

Seeing the black cat's attitude, Nie Huaishang was very pleased; the black cat had not played any tricks but had honestly confessed everything he knew, after all, he also feared these people would harm his wife and daughter.

As Nie Huaishang walked out of the interrogation room, he saw Dog-Head Old Gao looking at him with a complex expression.

He finally understood why the black cat had mistaken them for assassins from a terrorist organization.

The black cat, after all, was the leader of a terrorist organization, yet he was subdued by you few young lads.

I wonder what expression the black cat would have if he knew the truth?
