Chapter 115 The Last Clue
Su Wantang?!
How dare she! How could she possibly be worthy of her!
"No...it's impossible..."
Su Yuting's pupils contracted sharply, and the color drained from her face in an instant.
She stared intently at Lu Jingyan, as if trying to find even the slightest trace of a joke on his cold, hard face.
But all she saw was ice.
"ah--!"
A sharp, distorted roar erupted from Su Yuting's throat, echoing in the narrow mine shaft and making people's eardrums ache.
She struggled frantically, her hair disheveled, looking like a vengeful ghost.
"You're lying! You're cheating on me! That idiot Su Wantang, what makes her so great!"
"I am the chosen one! How could I lose! How could I possibly lose to a piece of trash!"
All of Su Yuting's plans and sense of superiority were crushed by reality at this moment.
She didn't understand.
She clearly foresaw so many things and avoided so many pitfalls, so why did she suffer such a complete defeat when it came to Su Wantang, the biggest variable?
The two officers beside Su Yuting exchanged a glance, seeing the despair in each other's eyes. They were not facing the farm's militia, but elite military troops personally led by Lu Jingyan.
Resistance means certain death.
"Don't shoot! We surrender!"
One of them was the first to throw away his gun and raise his hands high.
The other one did the same.
Su Yuting looked at them, and the color drained from her face in an instant.
It's over.
...
North Bay Farm, interrogation room.
The lights were dim, and the air was filled with a cold, damp, and musty smell.
Su Yuting was handcuffed to a wooden chair, and the hours of torture had left her with disheveled hair and a pale face. But after the deep-seated panic subsided, she calmed down.
She raised her head, looked at the serious-looking Wang Gong'an in front of her, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"Don't waste your energy. I won't say anything."
She was certain they wouldn't dare kill her.
As long as she lives, what's in her mind is her greatest value. "The Master" won't abandon her; he will definitely find a way to rescue her.
And Su Wantang, that bitch, must also be trying to pry something out of her.
She is safe now.
“Su Yuting, resisting to the end will do you no good.” Officer Wang tapped the table.
"Benefits?" Su Yuting scoffed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"What can you offer me in return? Release me? Do you dare?"
She acted as if she were completely unfazed, even shifting to a more comfortable position by leaning back in her chair.
Just then, the interrogation room door creaked open.
It wasn't Lu Jingyan who entered, but the figure she hated to the core.
Atractylodes macrocephala.
She changed into a clean black dress and walked in step by step, wearing high heels.
Bai Shu walked straight to the table and gently placed a small tape recorder in front of Su Yuting.
Then, she pressed play.
"Hiss—"
After a hiss, a man's suppressed, tearful voice came from the tape recorder.
"Xiaoqin...I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry to the child..."
It was the officer who kidnapped her!
Su Yuting's pupils suddenly contracted.
“…I was ruined by that crazy woman named Su Yuting…she’s a monster! You…you must raise the child and tell him that his father isn’t a bad person…I…I did this to protect you…”
"Waaaaah... Old Li! What have you done?!" A woman's heart-wrenching cries came from the other end of the phone.
"I had no choice... She caught me red-handed... Xiaoqin, don't ask anymore, forget about me! Live well..."
“Clatter.”
Bai Zhu turned off the tape recorder.
In the entire interrogation room, only the man's final, desperate plea echoed in the air.
Bai Shu finally turned around and looked at Su Yuting, whose face was deathly pale.
"He confessed."
"To protect his wife and children, he is willing to be a witness and testify against everything you do. This includes 'Eagle's Nest,' 'Mr.,' how he received the orders, and how you threatened his family's lives to help you break him out of prison."
Bai Shu slowly walked up to Su Yuting, looking down at her with a cold, unfeeling gaze in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"Your ultimate value lies in the secrets in your mind."
She stretched out her slender fingers and tapped lightly on the table, making a "tap, tap" sound, as if counting down the days until Su Yuting's death.
"Now, let's talk."
"How much is your life worth?"
Su Yuting trembled all over, her resentful eyes fixed on Bai Shu, her body shaking uncontrollably.
The partner she relied on, the pawn she thought was unbreakable, just like that... betrayed her?
No! Impossible!
"Hahaha...hahahaha..."
Su Yuting suddenly burst into manic laughter, tears streaming down her face. Her laughter sounded particularly jarring in the silent interrogation room.
"You think you've won? Su Wantang!" She suddenly looked up, her face contorted with rage, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"You think you can bring me down with just one traitor? You think you can bring down 'Sir'?"
"You have no idea how terrifying 'Mr.' can be! He knows everything about you! Everything!"
Su Yuting's voice became shrill, carrying a sense of vengeful pleasure.
"Including your dead mother, Bai Xiuzhu's secret! You think she's some chaste and virtuous woman? Let me tell you! She's an undercover agent for the Hong Kong Hung Society! She's 'White Paper Fan'!"
"She was expelled from the organization back then because she wanted to betray it!"
"You! You're just a bastard born of a gangster's bastard! Hahahaha!"
She threw out her last card; she wanted to see Su Wantang's shocked, pained, and devastated expression.
However, she was disappointed.
Bai Shu listened without any expression on her face. She simply watched Su Yuting go crazy, her eyes fixed on her as if she were looking at a clown.
Once Su Yuting's laughter subsided, she slowly and deliberately continued tapping the table with her fingertips.
“Du”.
"A dead man's secret is worthless."
A seemingly casual remark struck Su Yuting's heart like a heavy hammer blow.
Su Yuting's laughter stopped abruptly.
Bai Shu leaned down, brought his ear close, and spoke slowly and deliberately in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"However, I'm in a good mood today, so I can give you a chance."
"A piece of news that I'm genuinely interested in."
"Lu Jingyue, where did you take her? I need her exact whereabouts."
Su Yuting's body suddenly stiffened.
Bai Zhu straightened up, the curve of his lips cold and cruel.
"In exchange for this information, you won't be handed over to a military court, and you won't have to spend the rest of your life in bullets and endless interrogations."
“I will arrange for you to spend your old age in a very nice nursing home as a ‘mental patient’.”
"This is your only way to survive."
She firmly grasped the initiative and pricing power in the transaction.
Su Yuting raised her head and looked at the completely unfamiliar "sister" in front of her.
Her eyes, her tone, the terrifying aura of absolute control she exuded… This wasn’t Su Wantang! Absolutely not!
This woman is a devil!
A chill ran down Su Yuting's spine from her tailbone all the way to the top of her head. She knew that what the other person said was true.
She wasn't joking with herself.
To "spend one's old age peacefully" in such a place is worse than death.
silence.
A deathly silence.
In the interrogation room, only the ticking of the wall clock could be heard.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yuting finally raised her bloodless face, her eyes revealing a genuine, utterly crushed fear.
She opened her mouth, her chapped lips twitched a few times, and she managed to squeeze out a few words in a hoarse voice.
"Sacred Heart Clinic..."
"...Hong Kong Island..."
