Chapter 376: His Highness And Wei Wei

At this moment, the Emperor did not dare to say more, hence he chose to leave immediately.

In the General’s residence.

The smile on Su Yan Mo’s face slowly faded, it seemed as if she could never get a rest from receiving bad news.

Logically, the decision would be made soon on the Empress’ side.

However, there had been no news whatsoever since she started waiting, not to mention the fact that the people she sent out had disappeared as well.

A bad feeling began brewing in Su Yan Mo’s heart, dampened her hands with cold sweat.

At this point in time, the butler who helped her manage everything on the outside rushed in hurriedly, his face revealed a sense of frazzledness. “Mis… Mistress, our stores have all been shut down for investigation and… and those officials that are connected to us have all… all been arrested.”

The butler was panting as he said it, but all Su Yan Mo could feel now was thunderstruck.

She rushed out quickly to ask around and found out that there had really been a lot of people who were arrested.

Not only had those small officials who were barely related to her being arrested, but even her connections buried within the Su family were being investigated.

Thus, Su Yan Mo went into a panicked and frenzied mode as she cracked her head to look for money to patch up the monetary black hole, being extremely careful to prevent from being discovered.

What frustrated her more was the fact that despite the amount of money she offered up, no one wanted to help her get the job done. This was a situation that had never occurred before.

Su Yan Mo thought that she could only rely on Helian Guang Yao in the following days. Yet, as it turned out, Helian Guang Yao rarely came back during this period of time.

Well, he used to come up with an excuse for his absence, now he merely let people send word back and sometimes, not even a word was conveyed.

Nobody knew what he was doing.

Su Yan Mo was extremely anxious deep down, but there was nothing she could do except watching those people getting arrested.

Su Yan Mo comforted herself, telling herself that nothing was settled yet.

With Li Meng’s personality, he would not rat her out.

Even if she were to be implicated, Helian Wei Wei’s crime would be way more serious than hers.

She did not need to worry so much.

However, Su Yan Mo did not know that her so-called ‘crime’ did not exist at all…

At night, in the prison.

Li Meng had never suffered so much before. Initially, he had thought that he would be rescued out in no time.

Yet, half a day had passed and there was no news from the outside at all.

More than that, what Li Meng could not bear the most was the fact that such a piercing light was shone upon him and he was not allowed to even drink a sip of water. Moreover, no one spoke to him.

Even the situation beforehand where he was being beaten up was still better than the current situation.

The unfamiliar sense of panic and terror caused his forehead to drench with cold sweat.

“Young Mistress, let’s go in and beat him up again. We can’t just let him off the hook by waiting like this.” Da Xiong fiddled with his fingers indignantly as he stood by Helian Wei Wei.

However, Helian Wei Wei merely laughed lightly, “Don’t worry, treating him like this will make him suffer even more than just beating him up.”

“Really?” Da Xiong did not understand how sitting there properly would lead to suffering.

Helian Wei Wei’s lips curved slightly as she listened to the activity inside with her arms crossed against her chest. “According to expert analysis, if someone is thrown into an unfamiliar environment for a long period of time under the exposure of bright lights with no one to talk to and no way to obtain information from the outside, it’ll make this person insecure. Of course, insecurity is just the first step. In the long-run, this person will feel as if everything isn’t right and will then have a mental breakdown.”

As soon as Helian Wei Wei finished speaking, Da Xiong heard a shout echoed through the atmosphere from the jail.

Li Meng could not take it anymore. He held his head with a pale face and lips that were cracked from dehydration. “I’ll confess, I’ll confess everything.”

Da Xiong’s eyes widened as he glanced at Helian Wei Wei, thinking to himself, how is this even remotely possible?

He would never know that the interrogation method Helian Wei Wei used was one used by the highest-ranking professionals in America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was a famous psychological tactic.

It was not just Da Xiong, even the jailers were in awe of Helian Wei Wei’s method. It was unbelievable that she had got him to open his mouth without even doing anything.

Helian Wei Wei took her time as she walked slowly toward Li Meng to sit in front of him and said indolently, “So tell me, how did you know the address of the siheyuan?”

“It was Madam Su, Madam Su told me,” said Li Meng with red eyes, “She said that you have made a batch of weapons and the production site was outside of town. If I could track down this batch of weapons, I could make a great contribution. After all, privately producing weapons is a great crime of rebellion!”

Helian Wei Wei glanced at him plainly and kept quiet.

Li Meng who had been locked up like this for a few hours was close to his breaking point, he did not know what Helian Wei Wei meant to do.

In fact, he felt that this person was harder to deal with than any of the officials he had encountered before.

Was she still that useless anthomaniac?

Li Meng watched her narrowed her eyes slowly. Fearing that Helian Wei Wei would think his confession useless and continue to lock him up like this, he immediately snitched on all the spies and subordinates that the Su family had embedded in the city for many years.

This time, it did not just include Su Yan Mo.

Even that sly old fox, Prime Minister Su’s forces that were planted with great effort in the city had met with huge damage where all useful sources were weeded out!

“Young Mistress, you’re really impressive!” Da Xiong had witnessed the whole process and was rendered somewhat speechless. Currently, he had fully accepted their new head of the house with absolute admiration.

With Li Meng’s confession in her hands, Helian Wei Wei smiled with an aura of mischief, “I’ve said it before, I’ll weed out anyone who dares to bully people on my domain from their roots itself.”

Li Meng had well and truly fallen this time because of his stupidity.

He would never know Helian Wei Wei kept quiet because she was waiting for him to speak.

The more he talked, the more loopholes that appeared.

This was a psychological battle.

The quieter Helian Wei Wei became, the more panicked Li Meng would become as he would think that Helian Wei Wei knew everything. Naturally, that ended up in him telling on even the things that he could have kept secret.

Baili Jia Jue watched this scene unfold absentmindedly, waiting for her to finish the interrogation before throwing her a dull glance, “Come with me.”

Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and followed Baili Jia Jue to a corner, but with a single turn, he trapped her in the corner, “Your method of interrogation is indeed interesting.”

“I only learned it after joining the Battle Spirit Forces.” Helian Wei Wei’s answer came smoothly.

Baili Jia Jue’s eyes contained something like a smile as he looked down at her, “Oh really?”

“Yep.” Helian Wei Wei wondered if he had discovered something. Bearing the risk of being burnt at the stake by His Highness for being mistaken as a monster as she went about her daily life was really a test to her acting skills.

Baili Jia Jue smiled indifferently and said appreciatively, “It’s not a bad method, destroying the prey from inside out.”

Helian Wei Wei laughed lowly, people who were appreciative of such an interrogative method were just perverted.

“The only thing is, it wasn’t done thoroughly enough.” Baili Jia Jue’s fingers caressed her small face, feeling the smooth and cold skin that was akin to a piece of jade. With a few touches, he no longer cared about her brushing him off, “If you had told him that Su Yan Mo would never have bailed him out and wanted to make him her scapegoat, he would have broken down even more.”
