Chapter 233 Deceit and Intrigue

"The new plan that the engineers came up with was to take advantage of your positive feelings towards me and have me take care of you until I could unlock your inner weaknesses."

With nowhere to sit, Wen Jingchen simply leaned against the windowsill.

“Oh, right,” he suddenly remembered something and casually tossed a small box to Xin Que, “what exactly are you hiding in the Huo family bombing case?”

"Huo Fenglin was so anxious... Before I came in, judging from his posture, he almost wanted to dissect your brain directly."

Xin Que caught the small cardboard box steadily; it contained cigarettes.

"What else could it be?" Xin Que didn't have the habit of smoking. "Of course, it's evidence that can prove Huo Fenglin's status as the heir."

Wen Jingchen stared into Xin Que's eyes for a long time, trying to find some emotional flaw in them.

"What encryption method did you use?" Wen Jingchen was completely baffled. "That memory just can't be deciphered no matter what I do."

Xin Que spread his hands, "Where would you get the encryption method?"

Given her circumstances, no matter how much encryption she uses to preserve her memories, it's impossible to maintain complete secrecy.

Rather than going to great lengths and living in fear to hide it in one's mind, it's better not to have recovered the memory in the first place.

"This is troublesome," Wen Jingchen said gravely, confirming that Xin Que wasn't lying. "Originally, I planned to use the excuse of your regained memories to lure Huo Fenglin in..."

Xin Que weighed the cigarette pack in her hand, pondered for a while, and then said, "You don't need to worry about this... Give me a copy of your trump cards, and I'll give you enough evidence to tempt Huo Fenglin in exchange for your release from the mental prison."

Wen Jingchen paused in his smoking motion. "Have you figured out how to deal with Huo Fenglin and the AI ​​manager?"

He also hoped that Xin Que could distract Huo Fenglin and buy him time to escape the mental prison and find another patron.

However, Huo Fenglin has now forcibly taken over the administrators' authority, and there are also the remaining seven AIs whose strength is far inferior to theirs. In addition, the interrogation methods are completely different from the flow of the real world.

Xin Que mustn't get killed as soon as she faces Huo Fenglin.

"Qin Guangwang and Zhuanlunwang are in charge of the AI. One controls the implementation of the interrogation plan, and the other controls the entry and exit of the interrogation scheme. No matter how cautious Huo Fenglin is, he will not move the positions of these two AIs."

Xin Que said, word by word, "If I'm not mistaken, in reality, there are only five AIs who can freely act and participate in combat alongside Huo Fenglin, right?"

Wen Jingchen's gaze towards Xin Que changed.

In just a few days, Xin Que's understanding of the intelligence on these AI specialists was almost on par with that of the prison warden.

The fact that the prisoners isolated within the scheme could obtain this information out of thin air... could only mean that she had planted an inside agent among Huo Fenglin, who had been continuously transmitting information to her.

Xin Que's chances of winning...

Without further hesitation, Wen Jingchen gestured for Xin Que to open the cigarette case, "That's my trump card for survival."

Xin Que glanced at Wen Jingchen and opened the cigarette case.

There was only one cigarette inside.

When it landed on Xin Que's fingertips, the entire cigarette box, along with the cigarette, dispersed and reassembled into a small data chain, floating above Xin Que's fingers.

Xin Que quickly grabbed the data link in her hand.

It's backdoor data belonging to the administrator.

Xin Que laughed, "Who said we have no chance of winning against those AI specialists?"

Wen Jingchen stubbed out his cigarette on the windowsill, and upon hearing this, he chuckled meaningfully.

Given the current level of abnormal supervision that the Huo family's engineers exercise over the prison, if Xin Que were to forcibly hack into the administrator's account, a global alert would be triggered in less than half a minute.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained inactive.

But he wouldn't remind the arrogant prisoner.

The more chaos Xin Que caused in the prison, the less attention Huo Fenglin would pay to him.

For him, it was a situation where there was nothing wrong with him.

“Oh, right,” Xin Que thought of something, “there’s one more thing…after you leave, find a way to prepare a body for me that’s disconnected from the internal network.”

Wen Jingchen scoffed at Xin Que's outlandish idea, "You don't really think you can escape prison without worry by changing your body, do you?"

Xin Que glanced at Wen Jingchen and finally sighed, "There's nothing I can do."

She looked at her hands, her voice grave, "My body has been controlled to the point of being useless."

"I must have a complete backup plan."

Wen Jingchen stopped mocking Xin Que's wild ideas.

Did Xin Que think that changing bodies would solve everything?

But the mark of a low-class wanted criminal imprinted on her spiritual body cannot be escaped even during routine inspections.

That's practically suicide.

But Wen Jingchen was happy to see it happen.

The reason is... In order to gain Huo Fenglin's trust and make him relax his supervision, Wen Jingchen needs to have something to hold Xin Que accountable.

Ideally, we should be able to find out everything about Xin Que's movements.

Xin Que accepted the backdoor data given to her by Wen Jingchen and tossed a data link to him, saying, "The contents of this are enough to get you to sit at Huo Fenglin's... or even the Huo family's negotiating table."

"Whether or not you can lure Huo Fenglin in... depends on you."

Wen Jingchen looked at the information in the data chain.

It consists of several fragmented scenes from my memory.

He glanced at it once and then looked away.

From his background to his usurpation of power, there was nothing but dirt on Huo Fenglin that could bring him down.

No wonder Huo Fenglin was so forceful in intervening and taking over the interrogations at the mental prison.

...

"The above excerpts are all the exchanges I had with the prisoner after I entered the interrogation plan."

Wen Jingchen's face appeared next to the interrogation screen. "From my feigned interactions with the prisoner, I obtained some information that might affect the degree to which her memory is sealed."

Huo Fenglin's expression grew increasingly grim as he saw the information Wen Jingchen had uploaded to the intranet.

Without exception, they were all things handled by Huo Fenglin.

“Mr. Huo, based on all the intelligence I have, when Xin Que mentions the conflict between you and herself to outsiders, her conscious manifestation undergoes extremely strong stress fluctuations.”

"Perhaps we could consider it..."

The interrogation plan will be initiated by Huo Fenglin himself.

The engineer handed the analysis data to Huo Fenglin, saying, "Sir, what he said is indeed correct."

Huo Fenglin did not receive the engineer's data.

He didn't want to put himself in any danger.

But the pressure from the Huo family outside is growing louder, demanding that he produce evidence of his successor.

He had no choice.

I have no choice but to... take a chance.

Wen Jingchen and Xin Que both knew perfectly well that Huo Fenglin's final decision would lean towards this option.

What Wen Jingchen needed to do was to lull Xin Que into a false sense of security and then quietly create an opportunity for himself to make a clean getaway.

And Xin Que...

“Xin Que,” Cheng Zheng’s voice rang out from Xin Que’s consciousness, “the virus data that was previously buried in the new interrogation plan and on [Ying Yun] is all here.”

"Furthermore, the feasible plan for escaping interrogation, derived from the experiment in which Xin Xin and Qu Huan perished together, has been nearly perfected."

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
