Chapter 15: Interrogation

At this moment, Shen Mingchen even had the urge to swallow Huang WenZheng's heart raw.

Even without Huang WenZheng's confession, he finally understood.

Why would Hong Die risk exposing her identity just to restart the radio?

Currently, Riben has launched a full-scale invasion of China, and the frontline fighting is stalemated.

Riben spies in the rear also frequently assassinate high-ranking officials of the Nationalist government.

Once such vital intelligence is leaked, Riben spies will surely swarm like dogs that smell blood.

The meeting cannot continue; otherwise, something major will surely happen!

"Dayou, you stay here and keep interrogating!"

Shen Mingchen quickly realized the gravity of the situation: "I'll report this to the boss right away!"

"No problem, Section Chief, I'll handle this!" Lin Dayou picked up a whip, grinning wickedly as he looked at Huang WenZheng.

Saying that, Shen Mingchen turned to Chen Yongren beside him and said sternly: "A Ren, go interrogate Hu Xinyi right away, by any means! You must uncover her superiors and subordinates!"

"Haifeng, you take the record!"

"If their statements don't match in the slightest, keep questioning them!"

"Xinyi?"

Upon hearing Hu Xinyi's name, Huang WenZheng's emotions suddenly flared: "I want to see Xinyi, let me see her!"

Smack!

Lin Dayou slapped Huang WenZheng across the face without hesitation, shouting harshly: "You bastard, behave yourself—still wanting to see her? You'll never see her again in this life!"

"Talk!"

"Exactly how much intelligence have you leaked to the Riben spies? Come clean!"

"Leak a single item, and I'll skin you alive!"

With every sentence, Lin Dayou lashed Huang WenZheng with a whip without mercy; soon his whole body was covered in wounds.

Huang WenZheng was beaten until he was crying for his mother and father.

After giving the order, Shen Mingchen hurriedly rushed to the Operations Department.

The frontline situation was urgent, this matter was too big, Shen Mingchen dared not delay; reporting even a second earlier in the morning could save a second's worth of loss.

Chen Yongren and Zhang Haifeng went together to Hu Xinyi's cell, and then they likewise focused their scrutiny on her.

Seeing Chen Yongren walk in, Mrs. Hu's expression was complex; she never imagined they would meet again like this.

"I actually fell into his hands."

"But how exactly was I exposed?"

"How did he know I'm a spy?"

"Even if I'm caught, there are still other spies, and other moles!"

From the moment Chen Yongren entered, Mrs. Hu kept staring at him, utterly unable to fathom which step she had gone wrong.

Chen Yongren removed the cloth from Mrs. Hu's mouth.

Mrs. Hu made no excuse for her identity, saying directly: "Chen Yongren, I know your methods—just kill me; you'll get no information out of me!"

"Once you're in our Military Intelligence Bureau, dying won't be so easy." Chen Yongren gently patted Mrs. Hu's cheek, smiling.

Chen Yongren said while untying her from the stool, then lifted her and laid her face-down on the tiger bench.

"As a senior agent of the Special Higher Police, Hong Die, you've surely seen many punishments, and even undergone professional anti-interrogation training…

"So, for dealing with female spies like you, I have my own unique method."

In Zhang Haifeng's bewildered gaze, Chen Yongren pulled Mrs. Hu to lie face-down on the tiger bench, her hands bound to the frame.

"A Ren, that's not how you use the tiger bench." Seeing Mrs. Hu's posture, Zhang Haifeng felt a bit embarrassed, turned his head aside, and couldn't help reminding him.

"First interrogation?"

Mrs. Hu's tone held a hint of contempt: "Little brother, the tiger bench really isn't used like that—your little brother knows more than you do."

Chen Yongren chuckled twice, ignored Mrs. Hu, turned to Zhang Haifeng and said: "Haifeng, borrow two wolf dogs from the Interrogation Section."

Wolf dogs are also one of the methods used by the Interrogation Section to interrogate prisoners.

"Sure." Zhang Haifeng had no objection, turned and walked out.

Chen Yongren casually ripped off Mrs. Hu's cheongsam.

"Just this?"

"I thought you had some clever trick, but it's just this, heh…"

But what Mrs. Hu imagined didn't happen; she turned her head and saw the interrogation room door ajar, with Chen Yongren standing outside smoking.

"A Ren, the dogs are here—the two fiercest male wolf dogs from the Interrogation Section." Zhang Haifeng exclaimed excitedly: "Back when a Riben spy pretended to be tough, those two dogs literally gnawed off one of his legs."

"That Riben spy just collapsed then…"

Zhang Haifeng was still speaking excitedly.

Chen Yongren casually tossed the cigarette butt to the ground, stamped it out, and said softly: "Haifeng, wait outside for two minutes…"

"But… this isn't proper procedure." Zhang Haifeng hesitated a moment, but seeing Chen Yongren's resolute gaze, he still went out.

Chen Yongren led the two wolf dogs into the interrogation room and shut the door.

He didn't want anyone to know what this method was.

"You're going to sic the dogs on me?" Mrs. Hu sneered: "If you show yesterday's skill, maybe I'll consider it."

Chen Yongren leaned close to Mrs. Hu and whispered a few words.

"You dare!"

After hearing Chen Yongren's words, Mrs. Hu's expression turned panicked: "Have you no shame? Keep that beast away from me!"

"There's nothing I dare not do in this world!" Chen Yongren deliberately loosened the dog's leash.

The two wolf dogs kept barking wildly at Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu…

Chen Yongren put away his smile and spoke coldly.

My patience is limited; I'll give you only ten seconds to consider!

9!

6!

Where are your 10, 8, 7? Mrs. Hu was full of question marks.

I don't know numbers, damn it! Chen Yongren loosened the dog leash in his hand and shouted sternly, "3!"

I'm telling you, I'm telling you, keep them away from me! Mrs. Hu curled up desperately, her voice shaking with sobs.

Haifeng, come in.

When Zhang Haifeng saw Mrs. Hu again, she had been taken off the tiger bench, was crouched in the corner holding a cheongsam, and her gaze at Chen Yongren was filled with terror.

Prepare to record.

Zhang Haifeng didn't have time to think further; upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, he quickly nodded and opened the folder.

Feng Hua Lianzi: "My Japanese name is Feng Hua Lianzi; I've been undercover in Jinling for six years on orders."

Belonging to the East China Special Higher Agency, the Butterfly Team, code name Red Butterfly, rank of Captain, Butterfly Team Leader, and also the team's carrier pigeon.

My handler is the Director of the East China Special Higher Agency, whose code name is Mermaid; he is currently undercover in Shanghai, and I don't know anything else.

The Butterfly Team's main mission is to turn high-ranking officials of the Nationalist government, gather valuable military intelligence, assassinate your senior officials, and sow chaos.

Why did you suddenly appear?

Through insight, Chen Yongren also knew Feng Hua Lianzi was not lying.
