Chapter 211 Beacon Fire
Two teams of armed men quickly surrounded the entire mental prison.
Feng Caijun looked at the prison warden who appeared in front of him.
“Those engineers have been silenced,” the warden said calmly. “Assistant Feng, please tell Young Master Huo that not a single word about the secrets of the interrogation of serious criminals will be leaked.”
The Huo family arrived too quickly.
He hasn't dealt with Lin Ying's threat yet...
Did the Huo family receive advance notice?
Feng Caijun smiled.
He didn't rush to answer the warden's question, but instead asked in return, "Young Master specifically requested all the data and information from Xin Que's interrogation."
The warden immediately recalled the tragic scene where Xin Que and the prison guard had fought to the death and almost perished together.
He feigned composure and appeared natural, saying, "All data from the interrogation is backed up, so you can rest assured."
Feng Caijun gave him a meaningful look, then turned to the engineer and ordered, "The next stage is the most crucial part of the interrogation. You all need to keep a close eye on the serious offender's every move and record all the data without missing a single detail."
The engineers have taken full control of the interrogation plan and are on high alert.
The warden didn't get any definite answer from Feng Caijun, and he felt uneasy.
Feng Caijun's last glance at him was like a warning, or perhaps a look of contempt.
Has Lin Ying already complained to the Huo family?
That's not right... He keeps a close watch on Lin Ying, and besides, the entire prison is a closed working environment where people eat and live inside the prison.
He was the only warden in the entire prison who could come and go freely. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that Lin Ying could get out of prison, given his middle-class status, it would be difficult for him to even enter the Huo family.
The warden became increasingly uneasy.
According to Lin Ying's work schedule, he should be in the regulatory department now.
The warden simply took his men and headed straight for Lin Ying's work department.
Throughout the journey, the Huo family ignored the warden's whereabouts.
The mental prison had cooperated with the Huo family many times, and they were old acquaintances with the warden. Therefore, the warden was free to come and go as he pleased and did not feel any tension.
"Lin Ying!"
The warden, his expression sinister, led his men and stormed into the supervision department using the highest level of authority.
However, without exception, all the equipment outside the multiple cages that monitored Xin Que was occupied by Huo family staff.
The warden then realized that the situation seemed to be out of his control.
The supervisory department is different from the control room. The supervisory department has the lowest technical requirements; it only needs to monitor the physical data of the prisoners being interrogated.
Therefore, the Huo family has never focused on the regulatory department.
In all the interrogations they had cooperated on, the Huo family had only sent people to take over the operation room of the mental prison in the final stage, and had never been involved in the affairs of the supervision department.
But now, all those lackeys in the regulatory department have been purged by the Huo family and replaced with their own people.
The warden, on the other hand, received no information whatsoever from beginning to end.
He looked around at the unfamiliar faces bustling about in front of the monitoring equipment and was horrified.
The warden's last look was at the woman's body, which was contained within the core cage.
In the end, he didn't react, but calmly led his men away.
"Administrator?" He walked quickly down the corridor, lowering his voice. "Immediately transfer the highest medical authority to me for maintaining the vital signs of prisoners."
After confirming that there were no issues with the highest level of access, the warden immediately changed the key for the highest-level account in the medical system.
His pace quickened, and his expression grew increasingly somber.
Just in case, he needs to keep his trump card firmly in his own hands.
"Assistant Feng," the warden returned to the control room, his face once again displaying his previous polite demeanor, "after this interrogation concludes, can we perhaps settle accounts with Young Master Huo for those inmates who were rendered useless during this interrogation?"
Feng Caijun turned around and said, "Ah, these are all minor matters, you don't need to worry."
"However, I have a few accounts here that require your explanation." He gestured, and a man with resentment in his eyes immediately stepped out from the corner.
When the warden and Lin Ying, who was standing next to Feng Caijun, looked at each other, their hearts sank.
Feng Caijun casually tossed a list to the warden, "Your subordinate was being chased by assassins and came to me for help... I just happened to have all the men I needed, so I saved his life."
"Warden, you don't mind me meddling, do you?"
The warden stared at the list of assassins he had sent out to deal with Lin Ying, his gaze growing increasingly grim.
Lin Ying stood beside Feng Caijun, a half-smile on his face.
...
"Are you crazy?" the thug cursed. "The Xu family has been incredibly kind to you, and you're actually trying to harm them!"
Xin Que sneered, swiftly dispatched the noisy thugs with her knife, and headed straight for the Xu family manor.
"The kindness of being recognized and recognized?"
Xin Que scaled the high wall and coldly surveyed the magnificent and luxurious manor.
"I earned my life, and I risked my life for my status..."
"What kind of gratitude for being recognized and valued?!"
[40% progress in unlocking the memories of repeat offenders.]
The Xu family?
The Huo family!
The scene in the manor, centered on the bricks and tiles beneath Xin Que's feet, rippled outwards in waves of data, rapidly spreading throughout the entire manor.
The scenery of the manor is constantly being dissected and reassembled by the tide of data.
The engineers quickly used the existing data and the repeat offender's memory fluctuations to control the system, gradually reshaping the Xu family's manor into the Huo family's appearance, stimulating Xin Que's memory to recover further.
【Xin Que!】 Cheng Zheng's voice rang out in Xin Que's consciousness channel, 【The prison has rationalized the memories you are gradually revealing.】
Based on the 50% of memories you've already gathered, you now have 10% more to reveal to the prison.
"Understood." Xin Que's expression remained unchanged, but his gloomy gaze fell upon the familiar face that was constantly approaching him.
"Xin Que".
The composed and experienced man opposite Xin Que greeted her with a smile as if they were having a casual conversation, while skillfully loading his pistol.
The sound of metal parts rubbing together is crisp and piercing.
“I’ve always been puzzled,” the man said casually, not in a hurry to pull the trigger, “what exactly is it about the Xu… Huo family that you’re dissatisfied with?”
"The patriarch promoted you from an auction item to your current position as minister. You are a powerful and influential figure in the undercover department... Outside the Huo family, who doesn't respectfully address you as Minister Xin?"
Xin Que walked casually toward the man with her hands empty, completely ignoring the guns of the armed men dressed as assassins beside him, who were eyeing her menacingly.
"Why so many whys?" Xin Que shrugged, a hint of metallic gleam from her earring peeking out from beneath her flowing hair.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food," Xin Que laughed. "Captain, it's a very simple truth."
The captain looked at his former subordinates in the assassin unit, now colleagues of similar status, and a look of confusion crossed his face.
Wealth? The highest-ranking family in the upper city is the Huo family. Why do you think you can escape alive by betraying the Huo family?
“Actually, I advised you before I took action,” Xin Que pointed to her temple, “The Huo family is only superficially peaceful now. The assassins and the hidden agents seem to be the patriarch’s right-hand men, but in reality…”
The woman's sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the captain's face and look straight out into the world.
"They were all tools used by Young Master Huo to murder his father and mother and seize power."
"My memory of this should be correct, right?"
"Huo Fenglin".
