"You're saying that 'Poison King' Klinger used you?" I scoffed at Ai ShuQiao's words. "He's clearly your loyal lackey, okay? Do you think that I will still believe a word of what you say now? "
"The situation is different now. I am already a prisoner." Ai ShuQiao sighed deeply with every word. "I admit that I am not a good mother, but I am not stupid enough to want to rule the world."
I crossed my legs and waited for Ai ShuQiao to continue. It seemed that she would not tell me the flight path of the Legassie 650 if she did not finish what she wanted to say.
"Ye Lin, I once told you that Klinger was originally John's father's personal doctor, right?"
I nodded.
"Then, Klinger has the nickname 'Poison King'. He always wanted to obtain funds to research evil drugs. You can also verify this from his junior, Professor Yu, right?"
I nodded again. Professor Yu's goal was to transform all of humanity, and Fang Xin's goal was to deceive all of humanity. Two of the Stanford Three Swordsmen had already done this, and Senior Klinger should not be an exception.
Ai ShuQiao's hands on the table tightened.
"Ye Lin, I admit that I cheated on you after marriage because I was blinded by money. I saw a large amount of wealth that John would inherit in the future. I have wronged you and your father, and I cannot blame this on Klinger … But I am not crazy! There is no reason for me to go against the US government or even the entire world! This is something that only a mad scientist like Klinger would do! "
I only sneered at Ai ShuQiao's performance.
"Then tell me, how did Klinger use you?"
Ai ShuQiao paused and moistened her throat with her saliva. There was clearly half a bottle of mineral water on the table, but she did not drink it.
"Ye Lin, at that time, John's father did not support me being together with John. That old man wanted to deprive him of his inheritance, and Klinger was the old man's personal doctor. He saw that I was obsessed with wealth, and he instigated me to use Blue Flash Butterfly powder to kill people! Without him, I would not have so easily embarked on the path of crime! "
Hmph, I believe that Klinger was an accomplice, but to be able to use his young daughter to kill people, it means that your mind is much more vicious than the average murderer! You would have done it even without Klinger!
"Listen to me, because Klinger knew my secret of killing people, I had no choice but to support him in building a huge pharmaceutical laboratory. I gave him 20% of the company's shares, and later cooperated with him in researching the blue flash butterfly subspecies … You know, he is the second largest shareholder! If I fell, Klinger might gain control of the company with the support of the US government! He will get all the benefits! "
"I thought his whereabouts were unknown?" I sneered. "If he was working with the US government, he would have already accepted a large sum of money, right? Besides, you think you're so smart. Why didn't you see through Klinger's ambition and find a way to kill him in advance? "
A trace of regret flashed through Ai ShuQiao's eyes.
"Too late! At first, I thought he was useful, and I thought I could control him. But when I discovered his evil plan, it was already too late! He used bwk on me on the day he successfully developed bwk! I was hypnotized by him in the company's elevator with a large amount of fog! When BWK reached a certain concentration, there was no difference between the aerosolized and immersed forms! Everything that happened after that was led by him! I was just a pitiful puppet that was being controlled … "
Her hands trembled and her lips bit together like all schemers who lost a battle, but I didn't think she was pitiful.
"Didn't you already tell the US military this story? Did they believe it? If they don't believe it, then how could I, who suffered a lot from you, believe it? "
After a long silence, Ai ShuQiao finally picked up the bottle of water and drank it all in one gulp to moisten her parched throat.
"Ye Lin, I'm a bad woman, and I'm not a good mother. I've done a lot of things to you and Ai Mi, and I don't need your forgiveness anymore. But … if I wasn't instigated by Klinger and controlled by him using bwk, I wouldn't be as cold-blooded and heartless as I am now! Don't you think Klinger deserves to be punished? Do you think Mom is suffering here, and he, the main culprit, can get away with it? "
"He won't get away with it! Both the US and China are after him! " I rapped heavily on the wooden table, causing the guards outside to look in through the observation window.
"But he mentioned that the final model of bwk is about to be completed." Ai ShuQiao's face was pale as she spoke, "He was the one who told me to get the tube of blood for your dad, I don't know what he's going to do with it … He threw me to the Americans to be arrested, which means his research has succeeded. He's the mad scientist who wants to rule the world! If his evil plan is in its final stage, then it's useless even if you can find the missing Legassie 650! "
Ai ShuQiao's words reminded me of something. I knocked on the table again and asked, "Let's not waste time. Didn't you promise to tell me the flight route? I'm here to see you now, so hurry up and tell me the truth! "
"There's not enough time." Ai ShuQiao pointed at the electronic countdown timer on the wooden table. That was the only decoration other than the mineral water, "There's only three minutes left before we meet, it's not enough time for me to tell you the flight route. You need to report to the person in charge, General Mueller, about the meeting and request for an extra fifteen minutes. "
"How troublesome!" I slapped my thigh and glanced at Ai ShuQiao, "Are you trying to stall for time by telling me all this nonsense?"
Ai ShuQiao's gaze was heavy as if it was filled with lead, "It seems like the only value I have as a mother right now is the flight route … Don't worry, just tell General Mueller the truth and I'll tell you the flight route in the next fifteen minutes."
Ai ShuQiao stopped me when I was about to leave. She took out a folded application form from her breast pocket.
She opened the application form in front of me. I noticed that her prisoner registration photo was pasted on the top left corner. Next to it was a bunch of information written in English. Although the smart contact lens helped me label the information in Chinese, I didn't see anything that interested me.
"Ye Lin, this is the application form I wrote before. It's a request to improve my living conditions, but I couldn't get it to General Mueller. It seems like someone is trying to make things difficult for me … Can you give this application form to General Mueller when you go to apply for an extension? I'm begging you, the bed here is too hard, I'm not used to it. "
I didn't think it was a big deal to deliver a piece of paper, so I agreed. But when I saw Ai ShuQiao's neatly written English request in black ink, I felt a little ashamed of my cockroach crawling handwriting.
My dad and Ai ShuQiao both have good handwriting, why is my handwriting so terrible!
"If General Mueller agrees to improve your living conditions, will you tell me where the Legislatures 650 flew to?"
I waved the request to confirm with Ai ShuQiao.
"Yes." Ai ShuQiao nodded, "I used to enjoy all the prosperity in the world, but now I only have this small request."
I stuffed the request into my pocket, knocked on the prison door and asked one of the guards to take me to the detention camp's supervisor.
Thanks to the real-time translation of the smart wristband, I didn't encounter any problems in communication. The guard who was very familiar with the rules shouted at me and led the way. I silently followed behind him.
I met Dr. Yu on the way. He guessed that I didn't have enough time to meet General Mueller, so he wanted to come with me to see General Mueller. So we followed behind the guard, turned left and right, and approached the central headquarters of Guantánamo Bay.
"What did Ai ShuQiao say to you?" Dr. Yu asked curiously.
"Nothing," I replied, "She just tried to push all the blame onto Klinger. I don't believe her!"
After asking about the specific situation, Dr. Yu held his chin as if he believed that Ai ShuQiao's words were credible.
"Ye Lin, my senior brother Klinger's brain isn't normal, and so is Fang Xin. I'm the only normal person among the three swordsmen at Stanford University …"
You're considered normal? Every time you perform an operation, the patient says, "Congratulations on your successful sex change operation!" as soon as the anesthesia is removed. And every day you think about turning all humans into biochemical humans like the Justice League's "Steel Bones". You're a mad scientist just like them!
Although Guantánamo Bay was heavily guarded, it was built on the harbor, close to the sea, and the air was relatively fresh. After taking in a lot of fresh air, my hangover was alleviated. My memories of the thick fog became clearer.
"By the way, Dr. Yu, I forgot to ask just now. When we evacuated the Emperor Building, did anyone I know get hurt? Has everyone been properly settled down? "
"Yes, no one was injured. The most serious injury was Kyle sprained his ankle and then his head was bruised," Dr. Yu said proudly. "I've already treated him."
"You don't have to treat Kyle if he's injured." I said maliciously, "It's better for everyone if he dies … Ah, is Shu Zhe okay when he was trapped on the 36th floor? Did the Special Operations Team of the State Third Section find him at the first instance? "
"Third National Science School?" Professor Yu was confused. "Didn't you save Shu Zhe? You were on the top floor with him … "
"Shu Zhe and I were on the top floor?" I was shocked. "Why was he on the top floor? Wait, I seem to remember … "
