Shi Ying looked at Bai Ning with a hint of suspicion in his expression.

Bai Ning remained calm and said, "Who among those who know Lao Shan would not be curious about who he is and what he looks like? Besides, it's not safe to cooperate with you! You have already offended the guards of the underground city. What if they find out that you came to Sishui Prison for other purposes and come to your door? If even you can't defeat them, how can we?"

He spoke with such finality that the doubt in his words could not be concealed.

"To be honest, after all you've said, I'm increasingly doubting whether I'll die if I cooperate with you. I'm still young, and I don't want to die young. If I could get Lao Shan in... with Lao Shan around, I should be able to get more insurance points, right?"

Shi Ying looked at Bo Ning coldly. The other party's words made him very unhappy, but they undoubtedly convinced him.

"Ms. Lin, your people don't seem to know the rules. No one has ever dared to speak to me like this!"

"Then it's there now. The people around me have the right to be arrogant."

Lin Wu folded his arms in front of him, speaking in a soft protective tone.

Shi Ying looked at Lin Wu and said in an ambiguous tone, "I didn't expect Miss Lin to care so much about her boyfriend. Aren't you afraid that the other one will be jealous?"

Lin Wu's face went blank for a second.

No matter how many times, she could not adapt to using her partner as a shield.

Lu Guichi stepped forward and said, "Don't bother to sow discord. Who she has is her business. I don't care! Compared to this, Mr. Shi, it's better to talk about business. What is going on in Laoshan?"

Shi Ying hummed and said it was boring, then sat back in his chair and said, "Don't say you want to know who Lao Shan is. I want to know too! Since I came in, I have never seen Lao Shan's true face."

"Then how did you find out that Laoshan was here?" Bo Ning was puzzled.

"It's because of the bomb shelter, of course."

Shi Ying frowned. "When I found the air-raid shelter, I also heard about the ghost stories. But how could there be ghosts in this world?! I didn't believe it, so I took the opportunity when the warden and prison guards weren't paying attention to take some people in to investigate. As a result, all my people died in there. I almost got into trouble myself, and I managed to escape with great difficulty."

"However, the next day, the prison guards seemed not to realize that so many people were missing and did not ask any questions. I then realized something was wrong, so I was more cautious when I went there again. I took the initiative to reveal my identity and said that I wanted to meet the person who did it."

"At first I didn't see anything. It was only after I insisted on going many times and deliberately mobilized the prisoners to go in together that someone found me at night and took me to meet him."

"The person you are going to meet is Lao Shan?"

Lin Wu suddenly asked.

Shi Ying nodded. "I was taken into the air-raid shelter and followed for a long time until I arrived at a place guarded by a few people. There was a residence that had just been built. I was standing at the entrance of the shelter and heard a voice that sounded neither male nor female. It asked me what I was doing there. In order to get the things in the air-raid shelter, I said I was looking for a special and important substance."

"The man asked me why I was looking for it. I thought about it and finally confessed that this substance can make tattoos reveal what is hidden. Then the man agreed to my request."

"I also asked who that person was, and he said that others called him Lao Shan."

"You just...believe it?" Bo Ning asked hesitantly.

"After confirming it, I went to the air-raid shelter again. This time I still didn't see Lao Shan himself, but I reached an agreement with him from a distance: Lao Shan would not stop me from sending people in to dig for ore and find what I needed, but I had to run the business for Lao Shan from outside."

"Manage? Manage what?" Lin Wu asked with a frown.

Shi Ying said, "Lao Shan said he had an enemy. Even after he came in, the enemy did not let Lao Shan go and was still trying to assassinate him. I have to keep an eye on Lao Shan outside. If anyone sneaks around and asks about Lao Shan, and wants to go to the air-raid shelter, I will deal with him!"

Hearing this, Lin Wu frowned even more tightly and asked, "What enemy does she have that requires her to hide here?"

"How would I know? Lao Shan won't tell me."

Shi Ying said lazily, "In the past three years, I have dealt with many people on behalf of Lao Shan. They all had strange whereabouts. I have also maintained a good cooperative relationship with Lao Shan. But the ore containing that substance is too difficult to find. It was not until a few months ago that my people found some. It took a long time to dig up enough to be presentable."

Hearing this, Lin Wu, Bai Ning and Lu Guichi all felt quite awkward.

Bai Ning stared at Shi Ying and asked, "You have achieved your goal, so are you considering escaping from prison?"

Shi Ying: "Otherwise, why would I seek cooperation with you? That's all there is to it. I believe this is enough to tempt Lord Bai Hai, right?"

Lin Wu suddenly laughed.

Shi Ying turned to her, "What do you mean, Miss Lin?"

Lin Wu said: "Mr. Shi, you are dishonest. If my guess is correct, the cooperation is real, but you will never share these benefits with Lord Bai Hai. As soon as Lord Bai Hai takes people to pick you up and leave, you will turn around and sell us out, right?"

Shi Ying's tone became dangerous: "I don't understand what Miss Lin means. Isn't my sincerity enough? Miss Lin, you will pay a price for making wild guesses. I believe that with such a good cooperation in the past, Lord Bai Hai will not offend me for you. What will happen to you then? Have you thought about it?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the interrogation room suddenly became tense and ready to explode! Lu Guichi's face darkened, and he stepped forward to block Lin Wu without thinking.

Bo Ning also immediately made a protective gesture.

Shi Ying sneered.

Lin Wu remained calm. She patted Lu Guichi and Bai Ning on the shoulders, signaling them not to be nervous, and then looked at Shi Ying.

"Three years ago, you cooperated with that woman without hesitation, sold her out to find a more profitable partner, and took a risk. Three years later, how could you be willing to share with others what you had endured so much humiliation for so long?"

"Let's not talk about Lord Bai Hai for now, let's talk about this Lao Shan. She has been driving you for three years. If you were willing, why would you secretly bribe the prison guards and most of the prisoners in Area E, and now you have kidnapped the real warden?"

"The warden knew that you had contact with the people in the air-raid shelter. You tied him up. As soon as you left and the warden came out, the fact that the prisoners had escaped would be exposed. When the higher-ups blamed him, the first person he would trouble was Lao Shan, who had been in contact with you for three years!"

Lin Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, "If you plan to take Lao Shan away, why doesn't Lao Shan know until now that you are contacting Lord Bai Hai for cooperation?"
