Chapter 993: Did we skip a few protocols?

At the garrison base of Stronghold 144 in the Northwest, everyone in the conference room held their breaths as they waited for the outcome at Luoyang City.

Everyone was very nervous, including Wang Yun.

This was in spite of Wang Yun being very sure of his own judgment. It was not just a random guess, but a valid deduction.

But even so, he was still a little worried. What if the other party had some other trick up their sleeve? Or could he have escaped in advance again?

These were all uncertain factors.

Ten minutes had already passed since the information was relayed over from the Great Hoodwinker’s side.

Suddenly, the phone in the conference room rang. An intelligence agent’s voice rang out, “We’ve successfully captured him! Future Commander said that we’ve caught the right person!”

After six days of suffering in the conference room, there was suddenly a chorus of cheers.

For the past six days, everyone could only watch helplessly as Wang Yun started losing weight at a visible rate. He was getting thinner and thinner by the day, and his hair was getting messier while the circles under his eyes became darker and darker. Everyone was feeling very worried and pained for him.

It wasn’t much better for the others either. The Great Hoodwinker had been standing guard here the entire time. Zhang Xiaoman took turns leading the soldiers who were assisting Wang Yun’s work. Everyone did not even dare to breathe too loudly in the conference room for fear of breaking Wang Yun’s concentration.

But now it was finally over!

Wang Yun finally showed a smile. The Great Hoodwinker, Zhang Xiaoman, P5092, and the others all looked at him with smiles on their faces. Then P5092 took the lead and started clapping.

The applause in the conference room lasted for a long while. Wang Yun looked around at everyone. He enjoyed this feeling too much. Compared to everyone’s heartfelt admiration, the fame and fortune he had previously sought did not seem particularly important anymore.

P5092 said with a smile, “Back at Mt. Zuoyun, I already wanted to say that I’m very happy to be your colleague. It’s my honor.”

“It’s mine too.” Zhang Xiaoman chuckled.

But at this moment, cries rang out in the conference room. “Wang Yun!”

Wang Yun slowly closed his eyes and collapsed. The Great Hoodwinker quickly caught him and felt his carotid artery before he could feel at ease. “He’s just passed out from overworking. Have the medics give him glucose and saline. He hasn’t even had a proper meal in the past few days and kept spending his time here.”

Zhang Xiaoman and his men carefully carried Wang Yun to the barracks, relieving everyone in the conference room.

“Ask Future Commander about the details of the sting operation later. I feel that he’s also moving at a rapid pace since he located the mastermind so quickly,” the Great Hoodwinker told the soldiers.

…

In fact, Luo Zongren did not expect Ren Xiaosu to suddenly make a move on him. Moreover, Ren Xiaosu immediately activated City Crusher and attacked with all his might, not giving Luo Zongren any chance to resist.

Luo Zongren’s own power was not strong since he was more of a functional supernatural being like Xun Yeyu.

So his biggest mistake was that he was too bold. He dared to try and walk past Ren Xiaosu?

At that moment, Ren Xiaosu remembered Wang Yun had told him the mastermind might pretend that nothing had happened and try to walk past the bookstore. When they encountered each other on the street, Luo Zongren’s expression was way too calm even though he was wearing a disguise.

In that kind of environment, one should at least have a curious look on their face if someone were to come running towards them. Moreover, the commotion from the explosion at the bookstore had just subsided, so it was very telling if someone was able to remain that calm at a time like that.

It was just as Wang Yun had evaluated Luo Zongren’s personality. He was only a self-proclaimed smart person and not truly smart.

Ren Xiaosu brought Luo Zongren back to the neighborhood and handed him straight to Luo Lan and Zhou Qi. Then he took a seat while waiting quietly for Zhou Qi to interrogate him.

Luo Zongren slowly regained consciousness in the basement of the villa. He slowly looked around his surroundings first before looking at Ren Xiaosu and the others. He sneered, “‘Hop bein yirusional. Aye won shay anyfing.”

What Luo Zongren wanted to say was: “Stop being delusional. I won’t say anything.”

Luo Zongren’s teeth had been plucked out by Ren Xiaosu with his bare hands, so he was probably still finding it difficult to speak. When he said that, the blood in his mouth started flowing down. It was an extremely pathetic and gross sight.

Luo Lan was facing him and felt an inexplicable urge to laugh. “I have to say, that was way too heavy-handed of you. You should’ve at least left a few teeth intact. Look at what you’ve done to the child. He can’t even articulate properly now.”

Luo Zongren seemed to be humiliated. After hearing those harsh words, he did not say anything further.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qi ordered someone to bring over a set of tools and started preparing for the interrogation.

Luo Zongren made up his mind not to say anything. As the mastermind of the assassination, he was already prepared to die when he fitted the suicide pills in his mouth.

It had to be said that Zhou Qi was also a ruthless person. The tools he had brought looked quite terrifying.

Moreover, Zhou Qi did not even ask any questions and just started torturing.

He did not ask who Luo Zongren was or what organization he belonged to. He did not even make any small talk like what they should have for dinner. It did not seem like he wanted to do the interrogation at all. Instead, it felt more like he enjoyed torturing people as a hobby and for pleasure.

Zhou Qi created a ball of water enthusiastically and wrapped it around Luo Zongren’s head. In only one minute, Luo Zongren fell into a state of asphyxiation. Then Zhou Qi ruthlessly stabbed a metal needle into the gap under Luo Zongren’s fingernails. As a result, Luo Zongren instinctively let out a loud cry of pain and a large amount of water poured into his mouth. A majority of it even went down his windpipe.

After Zhou Qi drained the water and allowed Luo Zongren to catch his breath for a moment, he used the water to wrap around Luo Zongren’s head again without saying anything. Immediately after, he inserted another metal needle under Luo Zongren’s second fingernail.

During this time, Zhou Qi did not have any intention at all of communicating with Luo Zongren. He just kept repeating the process of inserting the needles under his fingernails.

By the third needle, Luo Zongren was already starting to show signs of pain and shock. Zhou Qi called for someone to bring in a small generator and a set of transformers, which he clamped the ends of to Luo Zongren’s legs.

Ren Xiaosu wondered, “What’s this for?”

“Oh, I’m using a weak electrical current to stimulate him so he won’t fall unconscious,” Zhou Qi said with a smile, looking as psychotic as he could be.

Even Ren Xiaosu felt a little creeped out when he saw how Zhou Qi looked.

Gradually, the way Luo Zongren looked at Zhou Qi changed. Why did he not ask any questions and only focus on torturing him? Did they skip a few protocols in the interrogation process?

At some point, he almost thought Zhou Qi was sent by his organization to silence him!

However, Zhou Qi still did not give Luo Zongren a chance to speak. It looked like he would only be done after he had inserted the needles into all of Luo Zongren’s fingers and toes.

Water torture was already a very terrifying form of punishment. It was a terrifying experience when a person slowly suffocated to the point of death. Many organizations liked to use this form of torture since most of those interrogated would definitely confess.

But from the look of things, water torture was only an auxiliary skill in Zhou Qi’s hands. Even more ruthless forms of torture awaited Luo Zongren.

Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu understood what Zhou Qi was up to.

Zhou Qi was interrogating a highly intelligent criminal who also happened to be a psychopath. As the interrogator, Zhou Qi had to make the other party understand he was even more psychotic than him before he could make him speak.

Since Luo Zongren would not open his mouth that easily, Ren Xiaosu, Luo Lan, and Zhou Qi were all prepared for a prolonged interrogation.
