At the garrison camp of Stronghold 144 in the Northwest, everyone in the conference room was holding their breaths as they waited for the results from Luoyang City.
Everyone was very nervous, including Wang Yun.
Although Wang Yun was very certain of his judgment because it was not a random guess but a well-grounded inference, Wang Yun was still very confident in his judgment.
Even so, he was still a little worried. What if the other party had other disguises or a way out? Or perhaps they would escape in advance again?
These were all uncertainties.
Ten minutes passed after Big Bluff and the others relayed the news.
Suddenly, the phone in the conference room rang, and the voice of an intelligence officer came from it. "We've successfully apprehended him! Young Marshal says we've caught the right person! "
After six days of suffering, the conference room suddenly burst into cheers.
During these six days, everyone watched as Wang Yun lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. He looked completely different every day. His hair was getting more and more disheveled, and the rims of his eyes were getting darker. Everyone's hearts ached for him.
The others were not any better. Big Bluff was stationed here the entire time, while Zhang Xiaoman took turns leading the soldiers assisting Wang Yun. Everyone did not even dare to breathe loudly in the conference room for fear of disturbing Wang Yun's thoughts.
But now, all of this was finally over!
A smile finally appeared on Wang Yun's face. Big Bluff, Zhang Xiaoman, P5092, and the others looked at him with smiles on their faces. Then P5092 took the lead to applaud.
The applause in the conference room lasted for a long time. Wang Yun looked around at everyone. He really liked this feeling. Compared to everyone's heartfelt admiration for him, the fame and fortune he had been pursuing did not seem particularly important anymore.
P5092 said with a smile, "I wanted to say back at Mount Zuoyun that I'm very happy to be colleagues with you. It's my honor."
"Me too." Zhang Xiaoman chuckled.
At this moment, a cry of surprise rang out in the conference room. "Wang Yun!"
Wang Yun's eyes slowly closed as he collapsed. The Great Hoodwinker quickly caught him and felt his carotid artery before feeling relieved. "He just fainted from overexertion. Call the medics over to give him some glucose and normal saline. He hasn't even had a proper meal for the past few days. He's been wasting all his energy here."
Zhang Xiaoman led some people to carefully carry Wang Yun to the dormitory. Everyone in the meeting room was relieved.
"Ask the Young Marshal about the details of the capture later. I feel like the Young Marshal acted very quickly and found the target directly," Big Bluff instructed the soldier.
…
Actually, Luo Zongren had not expected Ren Xiaosu to make a move so suddenly. Moreover, he had activated City Crusher and attacked with all his might. He had not given Luo Zongren any chance to retaliate.
Luo Zongren was not strong. He was more like a functional supernatural being like Xun Yeyu.
Therefore, his biggest mistake was that he was too bold and dared to brush past Ren Xiaosu.
At that moment, Ren Xiaosu remembered what Wang Yun had told him. The culprit might very well pass by the bookstore and pretend that nothing had happened. Both parties would walk past each other. At that time, although Luo Zongren had put on some makeup, his expression was too calm.
In that kind of environment, a person running towards them should at least look curious. Moreover, the explosion at the bookstore had just subsided, so his calmness at this time would be a loophole instead.
Just like Wang Yun's evaluation of Luo Zongren, "He's just someone who thinks he's smart, but he's not really smart."
Ren Xiaosu brought Luo Zongren back to the villa and handed him over to Luo Lan and Zhou Qi. Meanwhile, he moved a chair over and waited quietly for Zhou Qi to interrogate him.
Luo Zongren slowly woke up in the basement. He first took his time to size up his surroundings, then looked at Ren Xiaosu and the others and sneered, "You're delusional. I'm a liar."
What Luo Zongren wanted to say was, "Don't even think about it. I won't say anything."
Luo Zongren was probably still not used to having all his teeth pulled out by Ren Xiaosu with his bare hands. As he said that, blood started flowing out of his mouth, and he looked very miserable and disgusting.
Luo Lan felt like laughing as he watched from across the room. "I say, aren't you a little too heavy-handed? At least leave a few teeth for him. Look at what you've done to him. He can't even speak properly."
Luo Zongren seemed to feel humiliated. After saying that, he did not say anything else.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qi ordered someone to bring over a set of tools and started to prepare for the torture.
Luo Zongren had already made up his mind not to say anything. As a mastermind, he was able to put poison sacs in his mouth. He was already prepared to die.
Zhou Qi was also a ruthless person. Those tools looked quite horrifying.
Moreover, Zhou Qi did not even ask anything and started the torture directly.
He did not even ask who Luo Zongren was or which faction he belonged to. He did not even say anything about what he had for dinner. It seemed like he did not want to torture Luo Zongren at all. Instead, it was more like he was torturing Luo Zongren out of interest.
Zhou Qi condensed a ball of water and wrapped it around Luo Zongren's head. In just one minute, Luo Zongren had entered a state of suffocation. Then, Zhou Qi stuck an iron skewer between Luo Zongren's fingernails. Luo Zongren subconsciously cried out in pain and gulped down a large amount of water. A lot of it went into his trachea.
After Zhou Qi removed the water, he allowed Luo Zongren to catch his breath for a while. Then, without saying anything, he covered Luo Zongren's head with water again and stuck another iron skewer between Luo Zongren's fingernails.
During this time, Zhou Qi had no intention of communicating with Luo Zongren at all. He just kept inserting the skewers.
By the time the third skewer was inserted, Luo Zongren was already showing symptoms of shock from the pain. Zhou Qi then asked someone to bring over a small generator and a set of transformers. He clamped the ends of them between Luo Zongren's legs.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled. "What's this for?"
"Oh, I'm using a weak electric current to stimulate him so he doesn't pass out," Zhou Qi said with a smile. He looked as perverted as one could imagine.
Even Ren Xiaosu felt a little creeped out when he looked at Zhou Qi.
Slowly, the way Luo Zongren looked at Zhou Qi changed. Why didn't he ask anything and only cared about torturing himself? Wasn't there a lack of procedure in the middle?
At some point, he almost thought that Zhou Qi was someone sent by the organization to silence him!
However, Zhou Qi still didn't give Luo Zongren a chance to speak. It seemed that he would only be done after he filled Luo Zongren's fingers and toes with skewers.
Water torture was already a terrifying method of interrogation. Feeling yourself slowly suffocate was a terrifying experience that was very close to death. Many organizations liked to use this method of interrogation, and there were very few people who wouldn't talk.
But from the looks of it now, water torture was just an auxiliary method in Zhou Qi's hands. There were even more ruthless things waiting for Luo Zongren.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu understood what Zhou Qi was trying to do.
Zhou Qi's interrogator was a perverted criminal with a high IQ. As the interrogator, Zhou Qi had to make the other party understand that he was even more perverted than the other party in order to pry open the other party's mouth.
Luo Zongren wouldn't talk so easily. Ren Xiaosu, Luo Lan, and Zhou Qi were all prepared for a protracted battle.
