Li Dingding took a look at the list and said, "Wei Jiangyu, please follow me to another tent. I have something to ask you."
Wei Jiangyu was someone Ren Xiaosu and the others had snatched from another platoon, so he had the lowest sense of belonging to the entire platoon.
In the military tent where Ren Xiaosu and the others were in, a dozen soldiers were standing guard with guns in their hands. Li Dingding had expressed that he was only going to ask some simple questions, but he had actually imprisoned everyone here. Moreover, these soldiers might even be nanosoldiers.
Li Qingzheng asked in a low voice, "Xiaosu, will anyone betray us?"
"I don't know." Ren Xiaosu shook his head calmly. Although he did not know what Li Dingding was investigating, he was not sure if anyone would betray them since they had been helping each other along the way.
Wei Jiangyu was taken to another tent where a table and chairs had already been set up.
Li Dingding asked, "Has there been anything unusual in your platoon?"
Wei Jiangyu shook his head. "No, sir."
"Let me remind you." Li Dingding said with a smile, "The wolves, the nanosoldiers, Li Qingzheng, Ren Xiaosu …"
At this moment, something interesting happened. Li Dingding was only probing Wei Jiangyu with some irrelevant terms. But when he mentioned "the wolves," Wei Jiangyu's pupils constricted. When he mentioned the nanosoldiers and Li Qingzheng, his pupils returned to normal. But when he mentioned Ren Xiaosu, Wei Jiangyu's pupils constricted again.
Pupil constriction was usually related to light. When there was strong light, the pupils would constrict because only a small opening was needed for the light to pass through.
But pupil constriction was also related to emotions. It would constrict when nervous and expand when excited.
And the spread of pupils was due to death.
Just as Li Shentan had said, there were too many secrets in the human body that were controlled by the subconscious mind. However, this subconscious mind was not controlled by humans.
Li Dingding smiled. He changed into a more comfortable sitting position and said to Wei Jiangyu, "How about this? I'll try a different approach. If you tell me anything unusual about your platoon, I'll reward you with 100,000 yuan and a stronghold resident status. I can even arrange a good job for you so you won't have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of your life."
Wei Jiangyu pursed his lips and did not speak. How would he know if what Li Dingding said was true?
At this moment, Li Dingding called for someone to bring a bag of items. "100,000 in cash and a resident ID card. I've done it for you. Take a look."
Wei Jiangyu was stunned for a moment. This was for real. Even an identity card had been prepared. The other party must have a lot of power!
At that moment, Li Dingding suddenly pulled the bag back from Wei Jiangyu's hand. "You're really lucky. You're the first one to be interrogated, so you should seize this opportunity. If you tell the truth, then the people behind you won't be so lucky. But if you don't tell them, someone else will. When that time comes, the money won't be yours, and you'll be facing jail."
Li Dingding had prepared both carrots and sticks.
Wei Jiangyu said in a low voice, "I said, Ren Xiaosu has secretly left the outpost many times. When he heads north to Position 313, he always leaves at night and only returns in the morning. Wang Yuchi and the others have known Ren Xiaosu for a long time. They escaped from Stronghold 109, and Chen Wudi is Ren Xiaosu's disciple. "
Next door, Chen Wudi sighed softly. "Master, we've been betrayed."
"Mhm." Ren Xiaosu indicated that this was within his expectations.
"Should we make a move?" Chen Wudi asked quietly.
"Let's wait a little longer."
At this moment, Li Dingding was grinning widely. It was too easy to make a breakthrough on this group of refugees. Money and their status in the stronghold were his ever-victorious weapons!
With this breakthrough, he was not afraid that the others would not speak.
After letting Wei Jiangyu leave, Li Dingding called for a new interrogator. This time, he obtained even more information!
"The wolves would bring food to us while we were at the outpost.
"The night before the disappearance of the two officers, I saw Ren Xiaosu sneaking out of the outpost through the window.
"Before the five Divine Arms Battalion officers in the private army died, Ren Xiaosu also left the campsite.
"Before the Kyung Clan launched their attack last night, Ren Xiaosu also left the high ground."
All of this pointed the finger at the Heroes Battalion's commander, Ren Xiaosu. Li Dingding did not need any evidence. He was not a judge and did not need to rely on evidence to judge anyone.
The people next to Ren Xiaosu and Chen Wudi were called away one by one. Li Dingding looked at Li Qingzheng in front of him. "Since the others have already spoken, you should too. If you do, you'll get paid."
Li Qingzheng smiled apologetically and said, "There's actually money to be paid? Sir, I love money the most."
Li Dingding's smile widened. "Mhm, tell me then."
"But I don't know anything. There's nothing unusual about our platoon. Don't listen to their Nonsense," Li Qingzheng said aggrievedly.
"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." Li Dingding sneered. "Do you think I need your testimony? I think you want to spend the rest of your life in the dungeon."
Li Qingzheng took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "That doesn't sound too bad. There's even someone who takes care of our meals."
Li Dingding applauded. "We've finally met a man. Not bad, not bad at all. You might not even know what fate awaits you. Bring him back and bring those eight students with you."
From the beginning to the end, Ren Xiaosu had a smile on his face while Chen Wudi would whisper something to him from time to time. However, Chen Wudi was not that happy. That was because he thought they had been companions for so long.
After Li Qingzheng returned to his tent, he did not say a word. Ren Xiaosu did not say much to him either and just smiled at him. When the eight students returned, Wang Yuchi stood in the tent and sneered at his other comrades, "Even dogs are better than you guys. What a bunch of inhumane things."
"Alright, sit down." Ren Xiaosu said with a smile. What did not disappoint him was that Jiang Wu's students were indeed as unyielding as they looked. Jiang Wu had not sacrificed herself for them in vain.
Only Ren Xiaosu and Chen Wudi had not been interrogated yet. Li Dingding seemed to have deliberately placed them at the back of the line.
Li Dingding already knew what the problem was.
Suddenly, Li Dingding opened the tent's flap and walked in. He looked at Ren Xiaosu and Chen Wudi and said with a smile, "It's just the two of you left. Do you have anything to say?"
"Let's wait a little longer," Ren Xiaosu said.
"Wait for what?" Li Dingding was stunned.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp, ear-piercing sound came from the sky. With a loud boom, the ground started shaking.
It was the sound of artillery fire. In the wee hours of the morning, the war had escalated again! The Kyung Clan had returned!
In an instant, Ren Xiaosu charged at Li Dingding. "We've waited for it!"
If they had made their move earlier, the commotion here would definitely have attracted a large group of Position 313's soldiers. Therefore, Ren Xiaosu had to wait for an opportunity where no one would notice them. That was when the Kyung Clan would make a comeback and attack!
At this moment, Position 313 could barely take care of itself, so who would have the time to pay attention to them?
"Die!" Ren Xiaosu roared.
The armor instantly enveloped Li Dingding's entire body. Ren Xiaosu grabbed Li Dingding by the neck with one hand and pushed him down to the ground.
Li Dingding's blood vessels all over his body emitted a silver glow. He had been on guard against Ren Xiaosu because he had guessed that Ren Xiaosu was a supernatural being!
But when the two of them exchanged blows, Li Dingding despondently discovered that the gap between him and Ren Xiaosu seemed to be overwhelming!
