Zheng Haishan brought Zhang Haiyan out again, to the same interrogation room. After she sat down, he placed a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and a glass of water on a small board in front of her.

Zhang Haiyan lit a cigarette quickly and asked, "Was the hospitality so good this time?"

"It depends on the person. Those who resist will only be subjected to torture, while those who are compliant will be treated to good food and drink," Zheng Haishan said with a smile.

Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules?

"Smoke and water are both allowed. Besides, it's human nature to help each other. It's reasonable for you to help me and I to help you."

“But I have nothing more to say,” Zhang Haiyan said.

"Do you know about the rice quantum computer?" Zheng Haishan asked, staring intently into Zhang Haiyan's eyes.

Sure enough, Zheng Haishan saw a flash of light and concluded in his heart that she knew.

Zhang Haiyan calmly replied, "I don't know, I've never heard of it."

Do you hate your parents? And your brother?

"I don't hate them, I love them very much?"

"Why did you drag them into this? I told you that the charge of rebellion would haunt them for life. Your meritorious service gave you a chance, but since you're unwilling to cooperate, we'll have to resort to our own methods."

"I've said what I needed to say. I was only responsible for gathering information, and I've already given you the list!" Zhang Haiyan said calmly.

"Your real purpose in coming to Da Mi is to inquire about quantum computers, isn't it!"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I've never even heard of the word 'quantum' before."

Zheng Haishan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll pretend you don't know. Then let's talk about your parents and your younger brother."

"There's nothing to talk about. Don't try to threaten me with them. If I don't know, I don't know."

When he said he didn't know the last two, he spoke very quickly, with an accent that sounded like he was gritting his teeth.

If Zheng Haishan hadn't sent someone to investigate, he might have truly known nothing about Zhang Haiyan.

Through interviews and investigations, it was discovered that the person in front of her actually harbored deep hatred for her family.

Because she has a younger brother.

“You have a high school classmate named Wang Yunxiu, and he seems to know a lot about you.”

"Don't mention him, he has nothing to do with this."

Zheng Haishan continued with a smile, "We know it has nothing to do with him, but we learned some things about you from him, so we have a general idea of ​​what kind of person you were in the past."

"Then tell me, what kind of person is he?" Zhang Haiyan asked with a ferocious expression.

"Don't get excited, let's just treat this as a chat. Wang Yunxiu said that when you were in high school, around the time the college entrance examination was reinstated, your dad didn't want you to take the exam. He wanted you to work while tutoring your younger brother. In order to get a worker's spot, your dad agreed to the factory manager's request to marry you off to the factory manager's son. Hmm! It seems he has polio."

“They’re just selfish. Everything has to be arranged by them. What’s wrong with me, a girl, taking the college entrance exam? I’m just tutoring my younger brother; he’s not cut out for college anyway,” Zhang Haiyan said excitedly.

Are you and Wang Yunxiu lovers?

"no."

"Why would you tell him such a secret? You even told him about your plan to fight against the factory manager's family?"

"A friend, a close friend, a friend I can talk to. So, when I'm feeling down, I'll talk to him, that's all."

“Under normal circumstances, I would believe this reason, but your efforts to cover it up make me suspicious of your motives.”

"Say what you will, so what if he's my lover? My affairs are none of his business. Besides, we haven't seen each other for so many years, he doesn't even remember what I look like."

Zheng Haishan smiled and said, "I remember, when we showed him your photo, he recognized you at a glance. And he's currently single, saying he's waiting for someone."

Zhang Haiyan gave a bleak smile and said, "If you have the chance, tell him not to wait anymore. The person he's waiting for isn't worth waiting for."

"Okay, I'll have someone tell him when I get the chance that the factory manager's son is also waiting for you. He took their money, got into university, and even sends you living expenses every month. You said you'd marry them after graduation, but you ended up studying abroad instead."

"Please thank their family for me and tell them that their investment failed."

"Haha! You used the word 'investment' perfectly; you avoided the word 'scamming people out of their money.' If they sue you, you'll have one more charge against you."

"It doesn't matter. Oh, I still have some salary in my bank account. You can help me withdraw it to pay them back, so I won't owe them anymore."

"Alright, enough of this rambling. Now tell me something useful. How much do you know about quantum computers? Have you sent any intelligence out?" As he asked, Zheng Haishan approached Zhang Haiyan, bent down, and stared intently at her.

They met eyes, and Zhang Haiyan didn't avoid their gaze, saying, "I don't know about quantum computers."

"Slap!" Zheng Haishan slapped him across the face and said calmly, "My patience is limited. I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back."

The slap was so forceful that blood seeped from the corner of Zhang Haiyan's mouth.

Zhang Haiyan looked up and stared fiercely at Zheng Haishan, saying, "If you don't know, you don't know. You can kill me, but I still won't know."

Zheng Haishan clapped his hands, and three burly men entered the room and replaced the table and chairs for Zhang Haiyan.

This set of tables and chairs is equipped with fixed security measures to control the suspect's body.

“You’re a girl, and my intention was that you cooperate well so I wouldn’t resort to any underhanded tactics. Haha, I was so naive. Sooner or later, I’d have to take this step,” Zheng Haishan said.

"Then how can I convince you that I really don't know?"
