Xiao Zheng was shocked, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.
My palms were covered in cold sweat, and I even had trouble breathing.
Pingning?
The Crown Prince's confidant—Black Panther Pingning?
How did he suddenly appear here, and with Xu Sijin?
Xiao Zheng was stunned by this sudden turn of events and stood frozen in place, completely flustered.
But Si Jin added fuel to the fire: "Xiao Zheng, I have already submitted to the Crown Prince. Since things have come to this, I have no choice but to betray you."
The boy's voice was deep and choked with emotion, as if he were truly heartbroken over his choice: "I'm sorry, please don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship."
sell?
What the hell! Betrayal!
He was the one who wholeheartedly submitted to the Federation, so how could Xu Sijin make him feel like he was caught in the middle with just a few words!
Xiao Zheng panicked so much that he didn't know how to explain, so his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
While kowtowing, he said in a panic, "Deputy Officer Ping, I didn't. I said those things to deceive Xu Sijin."
"I want to kill him! I want to kill him to eliminate this threat to the Federation!"
"Oh?" Ping Ning remained somewhat wary of Sang Qingyu's people and pressed, "Are you eliminating a threat for the Federation or for Sang Qingyu?"
Xiao Zheng's mind was in a daze, and he didn't immediately grasp Ping Ning's meaning.
Just as he was about to come up with a line, he looked up and bumped into the table with a "crash."
The cups and saucers on the table fell to the ground with a loud crash.
Then, four or five armed assassins rushed into the tent.
They all raised their guns and aimed them at Si Jin.
Meanwhile, the boy, whose guns were all pointed at him, smiled calmly to himself.
Wasn't Xiao Zheng going to smash the cup as a signal?
So he took pity on him and smashed the cup for him, even offering a bonus head-banging service.
Next comes the hunt.
Xiao Zheng clutched his head in pain, nearly suffering a concussion.
He didn't remember kneeling so close to the table.
How could it still crash?
However, seeing the assassins pouring in, Xiao Zheng felt much more at ease.
He hurriedly explained, "Lieutenant Ping, Xu Sijin has a volatile personality. He injured General Xie and General Sun a few days ago. They ordered me to eliminate him!"
"Look, the assassin has already been hired!"
Before Ping Ning could even think, Si Jin gritted her teeth and, preemptively, diverted his attention:
“Lieutenant Ping, I think this must be Xie Linyuan’s idea.”
“Xie Linyuan has been humiliating me in every way these past few days. When I didn’t cooperate with him, he targeted me. Now that he probably realizes I’m leaving, he wants to kill me to end it all. He’s really vicious.”
At that moment, a white snake, who was alone in an empty room, suddenly sneezed.
You don't have a cold?
Could it be that Jinjin misses me?
… …
Inside the tent, the situation remained deadlocked.
Pingning was cautious in his dealings and was unable to judge Xiao Zheng's constantly changing statements.
They simply took Si Jin and Xiao Zheng back with them, leaving them for the eldest prince, Sang Qingze, to interrogate personally.
Si Jin, with her silver tongue, spent the night in Sang Qingze's study with Xiao Zheng.
The next morning, he cleared himself of suspicion and even tricked Sang Qingze into locking Xiao Zheng in the interrogation room.
Outside the interrogation room, Si Jin leaned back leisurely in a rocking chair.
With one hand propping up his head, he spoke lazily to Xiao Zheng, who was strapped to an electric chair by a robot indoors.
"The Crown Prince has ordered me to interrogate you thoroughly. How did you manage to turn Sun Boyan against you? Besides Sun Boyan, who else is a spy in your Nebula Empire? Tell me everything!"
Xiao Zheng was pinned down by the robot, unable to express his grievances, and could only shout that he was wronged.
"I didn't! I'm loyal to the Federation! I... Ahhh!"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Si Jin pressed the button, increasing the battery level.
Looking at Xiao Zheng, who was foaming at the mouth and suffering a fate worse than death, his smile became even more warm and gentle: "You're so stubborn, Xiao Zheng. You can't go back to the Nebula Empire. Why bother to pledge your loyalty to the death? Quickly bring out your helpers so you can suffer less."
"Otherwise, I'll have to increase the battery level!"
