Chapter 167: Catching a Turtle in a Jar
As soon as these words were spoken, the enemy spy's face instantly turned ugly and he grabbed the diary. He turned over the page with the formula and took a look at the text on it, but he didn't know much about the things on it. However, their scientists in their country have certain strength. Since they said it was useless, then it must be useless. There was no need to say these words to fool himself.
"What?"
"How can it be useless?"
He turned around and looked at Li Minghao angrily, "What the hell is going on? You should explain it to me. Didn't I say that most of the political content was written by Su Jinhui herself? How could it be useless? Could it be that you have saved something for me?"
Li Minghao's forehead was soaked with sweat. He wiped his forehead in panic. "Impossible! I follow him around every day and help him out. This is the basic content. Don't I know whether it's true or not?"
"And some of the recipes here are indeed specifically designed for medicinal herb cultivation. I'm also an expert in this area. How could the combination be ineffective?"
Li Minghao didn't believe it, so he tried it himself and repeated the steps in the recipe. However, no matter how he did it, it was completely different from the growth potion Su Jinhui gave him.
Only then did he realize that Su Jinhui had tricked him.
"It's over... this recipe is fake!"
His mind was completely blank and his face was extremely pale. If this recipe was fake, it would mean that Su Jinhui had been on guard against him for a long time. Then, it would be meaningless for him to steal the recipe now. The key point was Su Jinhui's purpose. Could it be that their place had been exposed?
"Bad leader, this matter must be a fraud, but believe me, I really saw with my own eyes the formula written by Su Jinhui in this diary, so I stole this notebook. I am completely loyal to the organization."
"I'm worried that this matter has been exposed. Su Jinhui is so smart, she must have suspected my identity a long time ago. Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Although the enemy's high-ranking spies are now very angry, what Li Minghao said is correct. If they don't leave, they will probably be surrounded by this army.
"Hurry up and give the order, everyone retreat!"
Immediately afterwards, someone came in to report, "Oh no! Oh no! The reconnaissance team has discovered a large number of our own troops nearby. They appear to be a special naval special forces unit, and they have surrounded our meeting place."
"What should we do, Deputy Captain?"
The man called the deputy head of the group had an extremely ugly expression on his face. In anger, he grabbed Li Minghao's collar, clenched his fist, and punched him hard in the face.
"You're the one who caused all this, you idiot."
"One of our strongholds has already been destroyed by Yan Li'an and Su Jinhui. Now, because of you, we have to give up this place again. It is very likely that you and I will be in danger. You are not able to help, but are more likely to cause trouble. I shouldn't have asked you to do this mission. You have disappointed me so much."
Li Minghao was punched and covered his face in pain, but after hearing what his leader said, he did not dare to refute at all, because it was indeed his fault that he did not complete the matter well enough, and it was because of him that so many dangers were brought about.
"I really don't know why this matter was suddenly exposed, and my whereabouts have always been very secretive. Deputy Captain, you must trust me!"
The deputy head didn't even look at him. In his mind, Li Minghao was like a useless chess piece, of no great use.
On the other side, Yan Li'an commanded the naval special forces to completely surround these enemy spies. Although these enemy spies were lurking on the sea, since this was not their homeland, they did not have many heavy weapons in their hands, and they were quickly seized by Yan Li'an.
When Yan Li'an appeared, he glanced at these high-ranking enemy spies, including Li Minghao, and finally locked his eyes on Li Minghao.
He had also looked for Su Jinhui in the military hospital before and knew what Li Minghao looked like. He was surprised to see his true face. This traitor was lurking beside Su Jinhui, which made Yan Li'an even more angry. These people tried to hurt the people he cared about the most again and again. This time they fell into his hands, and he would never let them go easily.
When the enemy's high-ranking spies and Li Minghao saw Yan Liyan, they knew it was too late, and it would be too late to escape even now.
"Take them away. This should be your last stronghold. I don't believe you have any other strongholds."
Yan Li'an looked at them and spoke coldly.
The high-ranking enemy spies and Li Minghao were captured and taken to the military district for interrogation, and Yan Li'an specifically ordered them to be separated.
He personally interrogated Li Minghao and watched him being tied up and sitting on a tiger chair. This chair was connected to a power source and was specially designed to deal with those who were stubborn. As long as they dared to remain silent and lie, once the power source was turned on, they would become paralyzed and in extreme pain.
Li Minghao had long known about some of Yan Li'an's glorious achievements, and knew that he was particularly experienced in interrogating prisoners, so what he feared most was falling into Yan Li'an's hands.
At this moment, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yan Li'an.
"Li Minghao, as Su Jinhui's assistant in cultivating medicinal herbs, I never thought you would be a traitor to the enemy country!"
"Seagull Two!"
When Yan Li'an called out his code name, Li Minghao suddenly raised his head and looked at Yan Li'an in shock, "How...how did you know?"
He couldn't help but sneer, "How should I know? In other words, as soon as I knew Su Jinhui had Seagull No. 2 with her, I told her about it. I didn't expect Su Jinhui to be so smart and catch you right away. She only used a little trick and you fell for it. It seems that you enemy spies are not very smart either."
Li Minghao's face turned pale. After hearing what Yan Li'an said, he finally understood why the contents of the diary were all false.
It turned out that Su Jinhui had been prepared and waiting for him for a long time, and she had also been suspicious of herself for a long time.
He was too eager to make a contribution, so he didn't check carefully. If he had paid a little attention, he would have found that the formula in the diary was completely false.
He gritted his teeth, but eventually became depressed because he was at a disadvantage.
"I'm asking you, how many people are on your hidden list in the medical system? I'm giving you a chance. Tell me all your names, and I can spare your life and won't let you suffer too much."
"Otherwise, you should know our Chinese interrogation system and my style of doing things. I could kill you and put an end to it all, but that would be too easy for you. I will slowly torture you until you are in excruciating pain."
