"This operation order was issued two months ago," Luo Zongren said weakly. "At that time, Jiang Xu had just published an article targeting the Wang Clan. But at the beginning, the order was only to formulate a plan, and there was no notice to carry it out."
Luo Zongren continued, "Later, on March 21st, the higher-ups passed down the order to assassinate Jiang Xu. But because he refused to make contact with our delegation, there was no room for negotiation between the two sides.
"We had a total of 381 operatives lying in wait, and most of them were secretly transferred from the Wang Clan's military for training.
"Before the operation, in order to clear the Wang Clan's suspicion, Wang Wenyan specially ordered Vanilla and me to put on a good show." Luo Zongren said clearly, "The soldiers below did not know about it, but Vanilla and Tang Hualong knew about the operation plan in advance. They pretended to be in deep danger and even deliberately got injured. Then, after all the surveillance footage was exposed, everyone's suspicion would shift away from the Wang Clan.
"But all of this is a prearranged show, put on for you to see!"
Ren Xiaosu listened to everything quietly. If what the other party said was true, then he would definitely have to make a trip to the Wang Clan.
Moreover, he would have to re-examine his relationship with the Wang Clan.
There was no room for compromise when it came to the matter of Jiang Xu's assassination.
However, Ren Xiaosu felt that everything Luo Zongren said was a little strange. He started thinking about it and tried to recall everything the other party had said.
If only Wang Yun was here. Wang Yun was an expert in analyzing lies and was the best at finding the loopholes in the other party's logic.
At this moment, Luo Lan asked Luo Zongren, "Which department do you belong to in the Wang Clan?"
Luo Zongren answered matter-of-factly, "You don't have to test me on purpose. I belong to Wang Wenyan, so of course I'm also in the 1st Military Intelligence Division."
"Hehe, I'm sorry." Luo Lan said with a smile, "You probably didn't expect this, did you? The Wang Clan was afraid someone would frame them, so they specially sent someone to Luoyang City. It just so happens that they're from the 1st Military Intelligence Division. Someone, bring the people from the Wang Consortium in! "
As they spoke, a young man in a suit was dragged into the basement by the Kyung Clan soldiers. The young man coldly said, "We came here to clarify the matter. Is this how you treat your guests?"
Luo Lan smiled and walked up to the young man. Then, catching him off guard, he slapped the young man's face. "If we find out that Jiang Xu's death is related to your Wang Clan, don't even think about walking out of Luoyang City alive. How dare you talk to me about hospitality? Come and admit it. This is someone from the 1st Intelligence Division. With a witness here, what else can you say?"
The young man looked at Luo Zongren and became even angrier. "This isn't someone from the 1st Intelligence Division at all. He's slandering us. What proof do you have that the Wang Clan did it? Where's the evidence? "
Luo Lan looked at Luo Zongren. "Evidence? Don't worry. The Wang Clan can't silence you here."
Luo Zongren kept quiet.
The young man sneered. "See, he's lying. He doesn't dare to confront me face to face. There's no such person in the 1st Intelligence Division."
However, at this moment, Luo Zongren suddenly looked at the young man and said, "Are you guys going to sacrifice the rook to save the king? At Wang Wenyan's place, Wang Wenyan personally promised me that as long as I succeed, she would give me the position of deputy division chief. You were there too. Why? Now you want to get rid of me?"
The young man said angrily, "Don't say such baseless things. I've never seen you before!"
"You don't dare to admit it?!" Luo Zongren bellowed angrily. He looked hysterical and even a little crazy.
"Clap."
"Clap."
"Clap."
Luo Lan applauded. "This performance is too amazing. If I hadn't known the truth in advance, I would've been fooled by your acting. But I'm really sorry. This isn't someone from the Wang Clan's 1st Intelligence Division. He's someone from my Kyung Clan. Look, this suit was borrowed from a resident of Luoyang City just now. "
Luo Lan laughed out loud while Zhou Qi stared at him mockingly, enjoying the stunned expression on Luo Zongren's face.
Luo Zongren was a little dazed for a moment. The expression Zhou Qi was looking at him with now was the same expression he used to look at those "ordinary people" when he was carrying out his plan.
In the past, he had called those ordinary people stupid lambs. But now, he himself had become a stupid lamb in the eyes of others.
Luo Lan walked up to the young man who was pretending to be a member of the Wang Clan and asked, "Does your face hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt," the young man said as he stood up straight.
Luo Lan patted his shoulder. "Silly boy, how could it not hurt when I hit him so hard? Go and rest. You've worked hard this time. Your acting was very good."
In order to make everything look real, Luo Lan did not hold back at all. The young man's face was swollen from the slap from Luo Lan, but he was smiling very happily at this moment. "It's good that the mission is completed."
After saying that, the soldier left the basement through the stairs.
Luo Zongren sat in the torture chair in a daze. Luo Lan walked up to him and bent down to look him in the eye. "In order to make you tell the truth, you made me slap my own soldier. Now you should understand that your so-called plots and schemes are just like those of a child in front of us. You can't afford to play with us! If you still don't tell the truth, we'll drag you out and parade you through the streets. Trust me, our Kyung Clan has ways to make you live for 10 years and make you wish for death every single day. "
"What do you guys want to know? Go ahead and ask," Luo Zongren said calmly.
At this moment, Zhou Qi was sure that Luo Zongren's psychological defenses had finally been completely broken through, and his arrogant pride had been crushed.
As Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan's silhouette, he suddenly thought of something. This fatty was usually a carefree person, but he did not expect him to be such a scheming person. Usually, he would hide all of his sharpness.
But why does he have to hide all this? '
Luo Zongren was also a ruthless person. He didn't slander the Wang Clan the moment he was arrested. Instead, he held on for 27 hours and only started the plan he had painstakingly waited for when he was on the verge of breaking down.
Everything he had endured for the past 27 hours was for this moment.
It was also because he still had a plan that he hadn't completed that he was able to hold on for so long.
Moreover, the other party's logic in his narration was still meticulous. Even Vanilla and Tang Hualong became part of his plan. Everything he did was to make it impossible for the Wang Clan to clear their name and convict the Wang Clan!
Luo Zongren said, "I belong to the Zhou Clan's intelligence organization and don't belong to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions. I'm the highest commander independent of all the other ranks, and all the field personnel under me are classified as top secret and only carry out top-secret missions. My rank is second only to the Intelligence Officer Zhou Shoushi, and my organization's serial number is 019002. My real name is Yang Yanbang."
Luo Lan and Ren Xiaosu looked at each other. It was done!
