Li Zhiqun walked up to Fu Shengyuan in a few steps and asked with a smile, "Station Chief Fu, I have long admired your name, but I'm afraid I'll have to offend you today. How about it? Just tell me everything you know, and we'll all save ourselves some trouble!"

Fu Shengyuan was now utterly despondent. The past few years of fighting behind enemy lines had been incredibly difficult, and he had even dreamt of this scene countless times, waking up in a cold sweat at the thought. But now that the situation had come to this, he felt somewhat relieved. With his eyes slightly closed, he said in a calm tone, "No need to waste any more words. Use whatever means you have!"

Li Zhiqun nodded slightly. He knew that an intelligence chief of Fu Shengyuan's caliber would not easily bow down and accept his fate, just like Wang Hanmin before him, who had to endure a long period of torture before finally speaking.

He clapped his hands lightly and laughed, "Alright, Station Chief Fu is indeed a hero. Let's give it a try, otherwise you won't give up!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and his team members stepped forward, took off Fu Shengyuan's shirt, and began to use their methods against him.

So the whip, dipped in salt water, was swung incessantly, each strike echoing crisply in the air and taking away a piece of flesh.

Fu Shengyuan initially gritted his teeth and kept quiet, but eventually he couldn't bear it any longer and let out a series of muffled groans, followed by a shrill scream, until he lost consciousness.

But when a basin of cold salt water was poured over his head, jolting him awake from his coma, Li Zhiqun remained silent.

Time passed slowly, and the torture of Fu Shengyuan lasted for two hours. Fu Shengyuan had fainted several times and was completely covered in blood, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to surrender.

Li Zhiqun couldn't help but nod inwardly, Fu Shengyuan's will was no less firm than Wang Hanmin's back then.

Wang Hanmin had endured a long period of torture before Ren Manshan finally intervened, using the safety of Wang Hanmin's family to persuade him to surrender. It seems that the same old methods still apply.

He glanced at his watch; it was already 10 p.m. He really didn't want to delay any longer. He turned to Wang Hanmin and said, "Brother Hanmin, it seems this guy is a tough nut to crack. But I don't have the patience to waste any more time with him. So, I'll trouble you to interrogate Ding Mingzhen. Let's see who speaks first."

As soon as Li Zhiqun spoke, Fu Shengyuan, who was still tied to the wooden stake like a dead man, struggled and let out a wail, uttering in a hoarse voice, "She doesn't know anything, you can't implicate the innocent!"

Li Zhiqun's eyes lit up, and he exchanged a glance with Wang Hanmin.

Li Zhiqun was not unaware that Ding Mingzhen was Fu Shengyuan's Achilles' heel, but he and Wang Hanmin had some reservations before and were unwilling to torture Ding Mingzhen. Li Zhiqun was afraid that if Ding Mingzhen was really hurt, Fu Shengyuan would give up and refuse to cooperate, leaving no room for reconciliation in the future.

It should be noted that he had very high expectations for dealing with Sheng Yuan. This veteran agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau was highly experienced, had extensive connections, and had intricate relationships with various aspects of the Military Intelligence Bureau. If he was used well, he could become another Wang Hanmin!

Wang Hanmin's role is self-evident. Because of his surrender, the Shanghai and Nanjing stations of the Military Intelligence Bureau were completely wiped out, the National Salvation Army suffered heavy losses, and the Chongqing government's intelligence agencies in Central China were almost completely wiped out. Such an effect is astonishing. If we also consider the current Qingdao station, it can be said that the losses caused by Wang Hanmin alone have almost set back the Military Intelligence Bureau's strength in the Japanese-occupied areas by several years.

Li Zhiqun secretly plotted to win over Fu Shengyuan and make him an assistant, so that they would still have to work together in the future and things could not be taken too far.

Wang Hanmin was unwilling to harm Ding Mingzhen, as he deeply cared for his family and felt some resistance towards them. He believed that if Fu Shengyuan could speak up directly, it would be easier for everyone to get along in the future.

At this moment, Li Zhiqun gave Wang Hanmin a wink, and Wang Hanmin immediately understood and said, "Director, it's best not to involve your family. How about this, I'll go talk to Madam Fu and ask her to persuade Brother Shengyuan so that we can meet again in the future!"
