Chapter 961

If you become friends with him, he's very easy to get along with.

Such a person, even if he tricks others, does so openly and honestly.

Sovereign Jiazi clearly knew that people like this were deeply trustworthy.

She called out, "Sucheng Master!"

Su Yang stopped walking and turned, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Will you come back?"

"We'll see!"

"I suggest you come back!" Sovereign Jiazi smiled. "When the Southeast Military Department asks me for details later, you don't plan to listen in?"

"Then I'll return as soon as possible!"

Su Yang also felt that, as the only soldier who knew the island's internal situation, he needed to be present to provide supplementary input and verification.

"I'll have them wait for you!"

"Alright!"

Su Yang quickly delivered the three Southeast Military Department interrogation experts sent by Qian Qian Hailong to Nangang City.

He also instructed Danmu Baihui to cooperate fully, then rushed straight to Zhanghai City without stopping.

He delayed slightly en route, but the interrogators assigned to Sovereign Jiazi showed no impatience—they only began questioning her after Su Yang returned.

The interrogation went smoothly; Sovereign Jiazi revealed almost nothing withheld.

She still had feelings for the island nation, but those feelings had grown very distant.

Every time she thought of it, resentment still stirred in her heart!

Knowing Su Yang was one of the masterminds behind it all, she certainly hated him—but she hated the island nation's four Generals and other great families even more!

Even though she knew the island's civilians had been deceived, Sovereign Jiazi still found it hard to forgive them.

Questioning, recording, and videoing happened nearly simultaneously.

After hearing of Su Yang's incredible battlefield exploits, the military interrogators kept glancing at him, their eyes filled with shock, admiration, and respect!

Convincing this group of military interrogators was no easy task.

These men were all elite members of the Military Department, routinely assigned to interrogation, each as cold-blooded as they come!

The interrogation only ended in the late hours of the night.

"That's enough for now," said the stern interrogator, standing up. "Sucheng Master, you've worked hard."

Su Yang smiled: "We've all worked hard."

"Young Lady Jiazi, we'll end for today. Once we compile our intelligence, we may need to trouble you with a few more details."

Qian Qian Hailong had instructed them to treat Sovereign Jiazi somewhat better.

Though she was a hostage and prisoner, she was still a sovereign of her nation.

"Mm."

Sovereign Jiazi nodded.

"You two should rest now."

Su Yang and Sovereign Jiazi were both assigned rooms at the guesthouse.

Lying in bed, Sovereign Jiazi could clearly sense that Southeast Military Department experts were monitoring her nearby.

She had expected to be monitored by the Southeast Military Department.

But what worried her was being monitored for the rest of her life.

She feared she might be imprisoned indefinitely.

That was something she absolutely could not accept.

An eagle that has flown beneath blue skies and white clouds will never willingly live in a cage.

Wait for the higher-ups of the Chinese Federation to decide her fate?

Leave it to chance?

She didn't believe her beauty would make the Chinese Federation show her mercy!

Sovereign Jiazi was not a passive person—she wanted to fight fiercely for a better possibility for herself!

Sovereign Jiazi clearly understood what Su Yang's battlefield record meant!

Her own modest talent as a Beast Tamer had made her the island nation's shining hope—what about Su Yang?

Of all the people in the Chinese Federation, only Su Yang had the greatest potential to help her—and the greatest influence over the Federation's high command.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Su Yang had just lain down when he heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Jiazi!"

"What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep. I want to talk to you about something."

"Alright."

Su Yang could hear the exhaustion and worry in Sovereign Jiazi's voice.

He sighed, turned on the light, and opened the door.

Under the bright lamp, Sovereign Jiazi wore a white robe.

Her hair was slightly damp; Su Yang could smell the guesthouse's shower gel and shampoo on her.

He smelled the same on himself.

"Sit down."

Su Yang pulled out a chair for Sovereign Jiazi.

"Thank you!"

Sovereign Jiazi casually closed a door, pulled the lamp cord by the door, and the whole room went dark.

In Su Yang's room, the windows were tightly shut, the curtains drawn, pitch black all around.

In the darkness, Su Yang saw Sovereign Jiazi slowly sit down in the chair and felt a little puzzled.

He couldn't shake the feeling that this person didn't seem to have come to discuss serious business with him.

Could it be a seduction attempt?

But Su Yang didn't think that was it either!

"The light—it's too bright. I prefer it a bit darker. In the dark, I feel more comfortable and at ease. You don't mind, do you?"
