Chapter 116: They've Actually Started Biting Each Other!

County Public Security Bureau.

Tang Ye was startled when he saw Wan Ming!

His head was wrapped in bandages, and his face was swollen, as if he had just been in a boxing ring and taken a 12-round beating.

"Old Wan, how did you get hurt like this?"

"Don't mention it. When I entered the cellar, I tripped, and then the thug lunged at me.

The guy was quite tough and tried to grab my service weapon. I protected the gun, and he punched me in the face several times.

However, I immediately launched a counterattack; that guy will either be dead or left with a lifelong disability."

Wan Ming said it lightly, but Tang Ye gasped in shock as he listened.

The reason Wan Ming had a group of subordinates gathered around him was because of this.

It was because he possessed a reckless courage; for arrest operations like this, he would often lead the charge himself.

Wan Ming took the initiative to suggest, "Want me to take you to see Liu Yang? That kid is extremely cunning; I interrogated him for a long time, and he didn't react at all."

He had witnessed Tang Ye's interrogation skills, which were of a very high level, so perhaps he could extract some clues.

"Sure, I'd like to have a chat with him too." Tang Ye had communicated a lot with Liu Guang, so he understood Liu Yang's situation better than Wan Ming did.

There was definitely a group of people behind Liu Yang's gang. If they could round up this human trafficking ring, it would be a virtuous deed for society, and for Wan Ming and his team, it would be a glorious achievement.

Interrogation Room.

Tang Ye and Liu Yang locked eyes.

Liu Yang was thin, his face was bruised, and a fierce light flickered in his eyes.

His first impression was that of a starving wolf—cunning, cold-blooded, and difficult to deal with.

Liu Yang recognized Tang Ye instantly.

This was the new Town Mayor of Pinghu Town.

Why would he appear here?

Liu Guang being taken away by the Town Commission for Discipline Inspection was Tang Ye's doing.

Was the County Public Security Bureau arresting him also a trap set by Tang Ye?

"Liu Yang, do you recognize me?"

"I recognize you! Tang Ye."

"Liu Guang has already told us everything about your situation. I advise you to cooperate with the interrogation obediently. If you provide effective clues, you can strive for a shorter prison sentence."

"I haven't broken the law, why would I go to jail?" Liu Yang said with a blank expression.

He hadn't expected Liu Yang to be so calm.

Tang Ye was so angry he laughed!

"You dare say you haven't broken the law?

You organized a criminal gang, trafficked women, and forced good people into prostitution. An eighteen-year-old girl in the prime of her life was driven to death by you lot! Your crimes are heinous, your record is stained, and the evil deeds you've committed couldn't be finished in a single night."

Liu Yang calmly quibbled, "You are framing me. I only introduced them to go to the south to work and earn money. After they arrived in the south, if they couldn't resist temptation and went into the flesh trade to make quick money, what does that have to do with me?

As for the death case you mentioned, the truth is this: she was dating a rich kid, and after the rich kid got tired of playing with her, he proposed a breakup. She couldn't handle the shock and chose to jump to her death; she even left a suicide note at the time. The rich kid also provided compensation to her family."

Liu Yang's logic was watertight.

No wonder the interrogation officers at the County Public Security Bureau couldn't find a way in.

Tang Ye's gaze became increasingly cold.

"Liu Guang isn't as tough as you! He held nothing back, including the process of you taking him into the cellar and forcing him to violate women—he told us everything."

Liu Yang's expression changed slightly.

He cursed inwardly: that dog bastard Liu Guang, when he took him to "test the horses," he was more active and excited than anyone.

How does he have the face to say he was forced!

Tang Ye sensed that Liu Yang's emotions were fluctuating.

He continued to sow discord.

"You were very good to Liu Guang, helping him get the position of Village Chief, and whenever someone threatened his position, you would immediately help him settle it. However, he doesn't think of you as his good brother. He said you are a rapist, a murderer, and a desperado. He was forced to do so many insane things only because of your brutality.

He is also a victim; seizing villagers' land, occupying collective assets, and embezzling public funds were all done under your instructions. He lived in fear every day and wanted to report it to the organization, but he feared your cruelty and worried you would persecute his family, so he could only endure it."

Liu Yang's expression turned ferocious, "You're lying to me! He wouldn't do that!"

Tang Ye took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to Liu Yang.

"You recognize Liu Guang's handwriting, right? He wrote this!"

Liu Yang only looked at two pages before he could no longer hold it together!

"Dog bastard, it's a loss that I helped him do so many shameful things; now that this guy is in trouble, he's actually pushing all the responsibility onto me."

Tang Ye knew the strategy was effective and continued to add fuel to the fire!

"Liu Guang has already provided a clue: every month you head south to meet a boss surnamed Deng. You once took Liu Guang to a club opened by Boss Deng. We have already grasped many clues; as long as we keep investigating, we will definitely be able to clear it up—it's just a matter of time."

Liu Yang's eyes began to panic.

He couldn't tell which of Tang Ye's words were true and which were false.

So he chose silence!

Wan Ming secretly marveled that Tang Ye had the ability to confuse people's minds.

Unknowingly, under his instigation, Liu Yang and Liu Guang had actually started biting each other!

Interrogation is a psychological game.

Once a psychological breach is torn open, one must press the advantage.

Tang Ye deliberately quickened his speech.

"Liu Yang, don't harbor any wishful thinking. Will those people show you any loyalty?"

"How about we make a bet? If we send word outside that you have already confessed everything, how do you think those people will treat that illegitimate child of yours in Lu Province once they find out!"

Liu Yang's expression changed drastically.

Liu Guang had actually blurted out the fact that he had an illegitimate child!

Liu Guang and Liu Yang had been doing bad things together since they were children running around naked.

Sometimes, when they drank too much, it was inevitable that they would lower their guard.

Once, after drinking too much, Liu Yang let it slip to Liu Guang that he had an illegitimate child.

When Liu Guang was being questioned by Tang Ye, he had just happened to mention it.

If it had been anyone else, this piece of information might have been ignored.

But Tang Ye had grasped it precisely, using it as a "nuclear bomb" to shatter Liu Yang's psychological defenses!

Sure enough!

Liu Yang was provoked.

He shook his body in anger, as if he wanted to swallow Tang Ye alive!

"You are too despicable. If anything happens to that child, I won't let you off."

Seeing Liu Yang so anxious he was jumping up and down, Tang Ye instead became relaxed.

"You know better than anyone how cruel they are. Let me give you a piece of advice: there is no need to let an innocent child suffer crazy retaliation just to protect that bunch of lunatics."

Liu Yang gradually regained his calm.

He let out a long sigh.

"I can cooperate with you, but I have one request."

"Speak. If it's not excessive, I will do my best to satisfy it."

"Regarding the fact that I have an illegitimate child, please make sure to keep it a secret. That woman has already started a new life. I swear I won't disturb her life. Her husband is an honest man who has accepted her past."

Amidst Liu Yang's crazy and vicious nature, this was perhaps the last remaining shred of kindness.

"If you help us round up this entire gang, I can agree to this request."

"I'll confess everything! You weren't wrong; Old Deng is the key figure..."

Tang Ye and Wan Ming exchanged a look.

Wan Ming's eyes were full of admiration.

Sure enough!

With his silver tongue, Tang Ye had smashed Liu Yang's "iron teeth"!

Having lost the will to resist, Liu Yang spilled everything like beans pouring from a bamboo tube, revealing the identities and contact information of the gang's leaders.

With Tang Ye's help, Wan Ming found important clues and immediately reported to Deputy Bureau Chief Zhu of the City Bureau.

After hearing this, Deputy Bureau Chief Zhu realized that this was definitely a major case!

He hurriedly requested support from the provincial level to establish a Special Case Investigation Team!
