Instantly surrounded by ten Level 3 Awakeners, the three directors of Blackthorn all fell into a desperate silence.
If they were facing only five level three awakeners, they would still have the confidence to break through.
Even if we consider the most desperate situation, leaving one person behind to cover the retreat at the cost of his life, it is estimated that at least two people can escape.
But the opposite side suddenly added five more level three awakeners, which completely extinguished their idea of breaking out.
Even if three people deal with one of them, there will still be one left on the other side.
With such a large number of people, unless they have an advantage in awakening level, trying to break through by force is basically the same as committing suicide...
"Will you surrender on your own, or will we take action?"
Chen Yan asked with a smile.
While they were talking, the ten people had already tacitly divided into three groups, each group of three, specifically focusing on one of the directors.
Xu Qinghe acted as a free man and was not included in the group.
Once the situation changes, Xu Qinghe will be the first to support the group in the worse situation!
However, the three directors of Blackthorn knew the situation well. After realizing that the gap in strength between them was too big and resistance was meaningless, the three of them immediately and openly expressed their intention to surrender.
Being able to capture these three people without fighting is certainly a good thing for the small group.
Otherwise, if these three people fight to the death, who knows whether one or two people from the small group will be buried with them.
After confirming that the three men had decided to surrender, Fei Changyuan immediately turned around and returned to the villa.
In less than five minutes, Fei Changyuan walked out of the villa again with six pairs of things that looked like handcuffs on his hands.
"These shackles are made of a mixed alloy and are extremely hard. Awakeners below level five cannot break free by force. Furthermore, the shackles have a built-in mechanism. If someone locked in the shackles attempts to break free with extraordinary strength, the mechanism will be triggered, and the dense alloy spikes will instantly pierce the wrists and ankles of the person being locked."
Fei Changyuan began to explain.
Upon hearing this, the three directors of Blackthorn looked extremely ugly.
However, when Xu Qinghe came forward with handcuffs and put handcuffs on the three of them one by one, the three directors did not resist at all.
If they tried to break out at the very beginning and were really angry, then under the stimulation of dopamine and adrenaline, they might really disregard life and death and fight desperately.
But now, as the number of third-level awakeners in the small group continues to increase like fuel, the emotions of these three directors have also experienced constant fluctuations. They are full of energy at first, then weak, and finally exhausted. Now they have basically calmed down completely.
Once people calm down, they will become rational, all kinds of concerns will come to mind, and they will no longer be able to make a desperate bet out of courage.
At the same time, the feeling of luck prevails, and you don't even need the other party to paint a rosy picture. You can find all kinds of reasons to deceive yourself.
After putting on the handcuffs, Xu Qinghe handcuffed the feet of the three directors, and then took them into Fei Changyuan's villa.
In the lobby on the first floor of the villa, Xu Qinghe acted as the interrogator and conducted detailed inquiries to the three directors of Black Thorn.
The process was similar to the prisoner's dilemma, with only one person being interrogated individually at a time, and the other two being taken upstairs for custody by Gu Yuze and Cong Jing.
After repeatedly asking the same question to three people, it is basically clear whether any of them is playing tricks and wants to lie to the people in the small group.
Unless these three people had colluded in their testimony in advance and discussed how to respond to all the key intelligence, the probability of them telling basically the same lies without any communication on the spur of the moment would be infinitely close to zero.
As for whether the three of them had colluded in their testimony in advance... until the moment they arrived at the villa area, all three of them still believed that they had the advantage and that it would be a crushing victory. How could they have been prepared for such a thing?
It only took about an hour to complete the interrogation of the three people.
Perhaps from the moment they decided to surrender, the three men's backbone disappeared into thin air. In short, the interrogation process went extremely smoothly.
Yao Shan and Yao Yun, brother and sister, were now in charge of guarding the three directors, while the other members of the small group returned to Fei Changyuan's basement to discuss the information they had just obtained through interrogation.
"According to what the three of them said, Qiu Huidong, the chairman of Blackthorn Company, is not an ordinary Level 4 Awakener, but a top-tier Level 4 cultivator whose genetic unlocking has reached 24%. Even if he can't buy Level 5 genetic potions, it's estimated that within ten years, Qiu Huidong will be able to forcibly break through to Level 5 with his own abilities."
Xu Qinghe's face was serious as he continued, "Although we are all level three, except for me, everyone else has just been promoted to level three through injections of drugs. Our gene unlocking levels are all at 15%. My gene unlocking level is slightly higher, almost reaching 17%.
But compared to Qiu Huidong, the gap is still huge. If we want to take action against Blackthorn Company, we can only wait for the genetic medicine provided by Li Fengnian. Just like Xiao Chen said, if Li Fengnian fails to provide the genetic medicine as agreed, our plan to seize Blackthorn Company must be abandoned!
Chen Yan said, "If Li Fengnian isn't lying, he should be able to come and trade the genetic medicine in about a week. We've captured all three directors of Blackthorn Company at once, and since they've been out for several days, I think Qiu Huidong will soon realize something's wrong.
We must be extremely careful from now on. If Qiu Huidong comes to investigate personally, we must ensure that he doesn't find us before we obtain the Level 4 gene potion. We must also be prepared for an emergency evacuation. If he does find us, we must be able to evacuate immediately without wasting any time."
Fei Changyuan nodded and said, "I agree with Xiao Chen's opinion. We should prepare for both scenarios first, so as to avoid being caught off guard if something unexpected happens. Also, what are you going to do with these three Blackthorn directors?"
Xu Qinghe said in a deep voice, "Just kill them. We've already asked all the questions we need. The situation at Blackthorn Company isn't complicated, and there's no need for any micromanipulation like subversion. As long as we eliminate the effective forces at Blackthorn Company, it will be the biggest blow to them!"
