Chapter 1088: A Close Call

Fortunately, however, it was a close call; after passing through layers of checkpoints, he finally arrived at the interior of the Prison.

This place was filled with cells cast from concrete, separated one by one, and steel bars as thick as an arm made this Prison unbreakable; the heavy criminals locked inside were all without exception heinous and wicked.

After entering the interior, Chen Yu found an opportunity to slip away, and while watching the electronic map, he hurried toward the place where Lili was being held.

Lili's status was rather special; after all, until the matter was clarified, she could not be allowed to have any problems, so she was being held in solitary confinement.

Moreover, this room was specially designed for dealing with enemy agents; it had only dim lighting and nothing else besides a chair. In here, there was no concept of time, and those locked inside, facing days without any sense of time, would gradually collapse.

There were people guarding the entrance, and seeing Chen Yu approach, two guns were immediately pointed at him, while one prison guard barked, "Who are you?"

"I am from the laboratory, ordered to come and interrogate the prisoner," Chen Yu replied calmly.

"We haven't received any notification regarding the interrogation of prisoners," one prison guard said, "and this woman is not involved in your laboratory project."

"Is that so? Could I have made a mistake? Let me ask again," Chen Yu put on a surprised look and turned to pick up his phone.

Suddenly, he waved his hand and slapped one prison guard on the head; this guard and the other one had their heads slammed heavily together, and without even a groan, they collapsed onto the ground unconscious.

Chen Yu turned them around to stand their bodies upright, pointed with his right hand, and the two stood stiffly under the camera, just as if they were standing guard as usual.

Fishing the room card out from one of the prison guards, Chen Yu opened the door with a backhand motion.

The person locked inside was indeed Lili, and now her consciousness had already fallen into a state of collapse.

As soon as Chen Yu entered, she shouted, "Let me out, I confess, I confess to everything, it was me, just kill me."

Although she had been locked here for less than twenty-four hours, she was only an ordinary person, so her spirit was facing collapse.

Chen Yu pointed a finger at her chest, then condensed his Mind Power; in that instant, a powerful Divine Sense surged into her consciousness.

"Don't be agitated, I came here to help you." Under the gaze of Chen Yu's eyes, Lili finally calmed down.

"Are you Chen Yu?" Lili could hardly believe her eyes; this place was a heavily surrounded Prison, how did Chen Yu get in?

"That's right, next, I ask, you answer," Chen Yu nodded slightly, "The more detailed you are about Mr. Ming, the better; it can save you, and it can save me."

"But I don't know anything, I really don't know," Lili shook her head desperately, "I was just working as usual, taking care of Mr. Ming's daily life, and on that day you were going to go, Mr. Ming prepared tea that he usually doesn't even drink."

"Everything was very normal, but I don't know why such a thing happened. They have been interrogating me, asking me what happened, but I really don't know what happened," Lili began to cry.

She was just a staff member; although as a service person by Mr. Ming's side, her status was slightly higher than others, she was ultimately still an ordinary person, and this situation had truly scared her quite a bit.

Moreover, her family members had already been controlled; if there was no explanation for this matter in the end, her family members might all be implicated.

"Just tell me the truth, is there anyone behind the scenes directing you, did you poison Mr. Ming? Answer yes or no," Chen Yu asked.

"No, no one has ever contacted me, I really don't know what happened," Lili shook her head.

"Then did Mr. Ming's younger brother, Yingshao, ever look for you?" Chen Yu asked.

Mr. Ming's younger brother, Yingshao, was the most powerful person besides Mr. Ming, and also the first in line for succession; if something happened to Mr. Ming, then Yingshao would logically take the position.

And when Mr. Ming had his accident that day, the feeling Yingshao displayed was an impatient desire for Chen Yu to die, so his suspicion was undoubtedly the greatest at the moment.

"He didn't look for me, but the night before you came, when I was making preparations, he came by and said that tomorrow's guest was very important, urging me to be sure to prepare carefully," Lili recalled.

"Besides that, was there nothing else?" Chen Yu asked.

"Nothing else," Lili shook her head, and she said fearfully, "Mr. Chen, I beg you to save me and get me out, I really have nothing to do with this matter."

"I will take you out, I can take you away right now, but I came here to clarify the doubts in my heart; otherwise, I will not leave this place," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"But I know limited information, I only know this much," Lili looked troubled.

"Then why haven't you acted yet?" Chen Yu looked at Lili, "Locking you here and then deliberately releasing the news, wasn't it just to make me walk right into the trap?"

Lili's expression changed; she took a few steps back, distancing herself from Chen Yu, "You have already figured it out?"

"This is a setup, it's a very obvious thing," Chen Yu spread his hands helplessly and said, "Did you think I couldn't see it? I just didn't want to expose it. You are a lure, and I am the big fish."

Lili had already retreated to the door; she suddenly opened it, slipped out, and at the same time, the alarm lights in the room lit up, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of the alarm, and pure steel cages slowly descended from the surrounding walls.

This room was actually a cage, designed specifically to deal with Chen Yu; now that the steel cage around the secret room had fallen, even if Chen Yu grew wings, he would never be able to fly out.

Chen Yu looked at Lili, and he couldn't help but smile, "That's right, this is what you should be doing."

"I'm sorry Mr. Chen, I was forced; if I didn't do this, the one who would die would be me," through the high-strength bulletproof glass, Lili said with a look of apology.

A figure flashed, and a group of people walked over; the person leading them was Tang Xue, and she smiled, "Chen Yu, we meet again."

"I don't want to see you at all, really." Chen Yu's brows knitted together; the current Tang Xue was long since no longer the Tang Xue of the past, and he truly did not want to see her at all.

"But I want to see you, I think about it day and night," Tang Xue smiled slightly, "Just now in the laboratory, you didn't even say hello to me, which made me sad for quite a while."

"You already discovered me just now?" Chen Yu raised his head in surprise; he thought he had hidden well enough, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Tang Xue after all.
