Ning Zhiheng completely ignored Qian Zhong's wails and ordered the interrogators to use all the harsh methods on Qian Zhong.
As a result, the red-hot iron skewer had only penetrated halfway into Qian Zhong's finger when, unable to bear it any longer, Qian Zhong gave up and kept begging for mercy, shouting that he was willing to confess.
Torture and forced confessions were things Qian Zhongchang often did. He knew that if he persisted, he would face endless torment. He was well aware that he could not withstand it, and the outcome would be the same: he would have to confess according to Ning Zhiheng's wishes.
Ning Zhiheng waved for the interrogators to stop, then walked up to Qian Zhong and said contemptuously, "If you knew this would happen, why bother! Once you're in here, is there anyone who won't talk? Now, tell me, where is Silver Fox?"
Qian Zhong felt extremely aggrieved at this moment. He could not endure the torture any longer, and the extreme pain made him unable to hold on for even a second longer. He was willing to do anything to alleviate the pain, but he had never even heard of the "Silver Fox" that the other party mentioned, so where was he supposed to find it?
"Director Ning, I beg you, I was blind to your greatness back then and offended you. But I've been honest and law-abiding these past few years and haven't done anything to wrong you. Please, have mercy on me..."
Qian Zhong's incessant pleading surprised Yu Cheng, who was standing to the side. He had never heard of Qian Zhong offending Ning Zhiheng. Had he lost his mind? Was this devil someone to be offended?
Thinking of this, he felt no doubts, but rather a secret joy. He also wished to kill Qian Zhong, but usually kept it to himself. This was a perfect opportunity, and naturally he did not want Qian Zhong to get away with it.
If that's the case, then King Ning will never let Qian Zhong go, and I have nothing to worry about.
Ning Zhiheng frowned upon hearing Qian Zhong's plea. This guy was trying to steer the matter towards personal grudges. If Yu Cheng hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been worried, but now he really had to be careful, lest Yu Cheng go back and talk nonsense in front of the bureau chief.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng gave a cold laugh and said, "Qian Zhong, what's the use of telling me all this? I originally wanted to give you a chance to confess, but it seems you're stubborn as a mule. Fine..."
After saying that, Ning Zhiheng took out the two photos and held them up in front of Qian Zhong's eyes, asking directly, "Without solid evidence, would we arrest you? Tell me, what were you doing here disguised as a laborer this afternoon? Who is the woman opposite you? What did you write in the letter you gave her? What did you talk about? If you can explain all of this clearly, I will naturally let you go. But if there is any concealment, don't blame me!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhong was jolted awake and quickly examined the two photos closely. The photos clearly showed the scene of his chance encounter with the beautiful woman, Du Wanlan, at noon that day. In particular, there was the photo of him handing the envelope to Du Wanlan. Qian Zhong had been working in intelligence for many years, and although his talent was mediocre, he had some experience. He immediately realized what was going on.
He was immediately terrified, and stammered, "You...you mean this woman is Silver Fox?"
Ning Zhiheng glanced at him disdainfully: "We've come this far, and you're still putting on an act for me? This woman is of course Silver Fox! She's one of the four intelligence chiefs of the Japanese Chongqing intelligence network. I've captured the other three, but she's the only one who escaped. We've spent a lot of time investigating, but to no avail. But it doesn't matter. Now that I have you, I'll definitely find her, won't I, Team Leader Qian!"
"No, no, this...this has nothing to do with me...!" Qian Zhong stammered after hearing Ning Zhiheng's words. "This woman is called Du Wanlan. She's just a housewife. We met by chance at the street corner at noon today and only just met today! Director Ning, you can check it out. I was just bewitched and chatted with her for a few words before leaving."
Afterwards, Qian Zhong hurriedly recounted in detail what had happened with Du Wanlan at noon that day, and finally said with great conviction: "Director Ning, what I said is all true! Although I, Qian Zhong, am somewhat disappointing, I am loyal to the Party and the country. How many people would dare to get entangled with Japanese spies?"
Ning Zhiheng, however, didn't buy it. He chuckled and clapped his hands, laughing, "Haha, the story is quite well-crafted. It's impressive how you managed to make it so vivid in such a short time. Qian Zhong, it's a waste of your talent that you're not a storyteller. So, according to you, all of this has nothing to do with you. You inexplicably changed your clothes, disguised yourself, and appeared in the area where the Silver Fox is known to roam. Then the Silver Fox herself ran into you on the street, and you had a long and intimate conversation upon your first meeting. Even the letter you handed to the Silver Fox was hers. It has absolutely nothing to do with you?"
At this point, Ning Zhiheng's gaze turned fierce. He grabbed Qian Zhong by the collar and cursed, "Bastard! You think you can fool me like a three-year-old? If you were me, would you believe me? You won't learn your lesson until you're faced with death! Men, torture this guy, torture him severely!"
At this moment, Ning Zhiheng waved and called over Zeng Xingguo, the action team leader, and instructed him in front of Yu Cheng: "Take men to their meeting point immediately and search for a woman named Du Wanlan in the vicinity. See if she exists. If she does, bring her back immediately."
"Yes!" Zeng Xingguo nodded in acceptance.
“Old Yu, now that you’re here, don’t just sit around. When Silver Fox was trying to win over Gu Zhengqing, she stayed at the Gu family’s house for a long time. After the Gu family members were arrested, they were never released. Take Silver Fox’s photo to the Gu family to verify her identity!”
