Chapter 227 Wen Jingchen
Lin Ying fell silent.
What's the solution?
Although he was nominally in management, the work he did, frankly speaking, didn't involve much technical skill.
What solution could he possibly have...?
Suddenly, Lin Ying thought of something.
"Didn't the prison previously try a program that involved senior executives in interrogations?"
"Even Mr. Huo..."
The interrogation plan has been implemented.
Lin Ying chuckled awkwardly, "If we can't break through the current progress, why not consider using live-action projection to find the criminals' psychological weaknesses?"
Feng Caijun gave him a meaningful look, "Then who do you think is more suitable?"
Lin Ying suddenly got stuck.
We can't just let him in, can we?!
The precedent of Qu Huan dying of brain death shortly after he began working on a plan is still fresh in our minds.
Going in would be suicide.
When he looked up, Feng Caijun's eyes were filled with urging, and he stared at him silently, constantly putting mental pressure on him.
Lin Ying's mind raced. "This matter involves Mr. Huo's interests, so we must choose someone who knows a lot about mental prisons to minimize the chance of failure."
"Assistant Feng, to be honest, although I hold a high position, I have long been sidelined by the warden. My core job is only monitoring physical data; I can't even see data on the spiritual body..."
With a few words, Lin Ying positioned himself as someone ostracized by the warden, subtly shifting the blame back: "The warden demands complete control over everything... perhaps he's more suitable?"
Feng Caijun hesitated, "But Mr. Huo has already fallen out with him in order to save you... Although his personal freedom is under our control, if he harbors hatred and goes into the mental prison to do something to retaliate against Mr. Huo..."
Lin Ying didn't understand what he meant.
Feng Caijun sighed and patted Lin Ying on the shoulder, "The warden is indeed a very suitable candidate."
"As you said, we must ensure that the people involved in the interrogation plan are the most knowledgeable professionals in mental prisons, and also ensure that they will not take any irrational retaliatory actions against the plan because of personal gain or loss."
"therefore……"
Lin Ying once again entered the warden's office, which had been plunged into darkness after the water and electricity were cut off.
He felt that his life had always been confined by the word "responsibility".
"If there are any problems with the body of repeat offender Xin Que, affecting the interrogation, Lin Ying, you will be fully responsible!!!"
This was a death order given to him by the warden when his expression was twisted.
Now, Feng Caijun smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, pushing him toward the warden's office with an irresistible force, his voice gentle.
"If you can't persuade the warden to treat this auxiliary interrogation with absolute loyalty, Lin Ying, you bear full responsibility without question."
Lin Ying felt dizzy and weak in the legs.
Feng Caijun knew perfectly well that he and the warden had already fallen out and were at each other's throats, yet he still forced him to complete this almost impossible task.
Lin Ying had even anticipated the mockery and sarcasm the warden might utter.
But unexpectedly, when Lin Ying coldly stated Feng Caijun's request, the man sitting behind the desk showed no emotion.
The man seemed completely indifferent to this opportunity to avenge his subordinates who had betrayed him, and simply said, "Okay."
This struck Lin Ying as odd.
When Lin Ying questioned him, the warden just sneered, "A wise man submits to circumstances. What's the point of me mocking you, other than creating unnecessary arguments and bringing punishment upon myself?"
Lin Ying's voice remained tense, "It's best to be pragmatic. As long as the interrogation goes smoothly, I will plead for you and find a way to keep your position. We can keep to ourselves and each live our own good lives."
The warden just stared at him for a long time without saying anything.
They are all cheap empty promises.
Once the interrogation is over, given the various accusations against the warden, he will be silenced sooner or later.
All this time, this mental prison has only served to benefit the Huo family.
...
"For security reasons during the interrogation, you cannot be granted the permissions of the administrator or the AI in charge."
Feng Caijun spoke gently to the warden, "But you can request other supplementary measures."
After a moment of contemplation, the warden said, “I have only one request: in the conscious embodiment of the interrogation plan, I will choose Ying Yun as the central character.”
"After all, Ying Yun has already gained Xin Que's trust. By appearing in front of her through his identity, I can maximize work efficiency and get Xin Que to reveal her sealed memories as quickly as possible."
Feng Caijun presented this request to the Huo family's engineers.
After much discussion, the group finally agreed to the warden's request, having severely restricted the central figure's authority over the interrogation plan.
Soon, the warden was taken to the control room.
What happened next was exactly the same process as when Qu Huan was put into the interrogation plan.
...
"Crack—"
The sound of the ruins being turned over could be heard.
Xin Que was squeezed into the corner at the bottom, and the sound of the ruins being dug up above her grew louder and louder.
The darkness continued to loosen, loosen, as the sound emanated from it…
Until one of the bricks that made up the darkness was roughly pried open by a pair of hands, and the blinding sunlight shone on Xin Que through the crack.
The audacious prisoner who had brought disaster to the Huo family and was trapped in the ruins has finally seen the light of day again.
The media outlets that Huo Fenglin had arranged in advance rushed to report on the prisoner's deeds.
"The reporter is currently at the site of the explosion—the Huo family's main residence. Investigators are conducting a thorough search..."
"The mastermind behind the Huo family bombing is still alive!!!"
The sirens of ambulances pierced the sky, mingling with the noisy sounds of search personnel maintaining order outside the cordon, creating a truly headache-inducing atmosphere.
Xin Que was covered up and transferred from the ruins to a stretcher, then steadily carried into the ambulance, shutting out the noise outside the vehicle.
"The prisoner needs immediate first aid..."
The somber voices of the medical staff faded into the distance.
"drop……"
The regular electronic alerts from the monitoring equipment appeared intermittently.
Xin Que slowly opened her eyes.
"Awake?" The male nurse wearing a mask looked down at the prisoner's slightly unfocused eyes.
Xin Que moved her chapped lips.
The male nurse looked at the busy corridor outside the ward, then quickly walked over and closed the ward door tightly.
Only Xin Que and the male nurse remained in the ward.
"Your current condition is not good."
The male nurse slowly pulled down his mask.
It was an incredibly familiar face.
Xin Que's pupils flickered, and after a long while, she managed to make a lip shape.
"Ying...Yun...?"
Ying Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the woman still recognized her.
"I'm so glad you haven't forgotten me..." Ying Yun softened his expression, half-squatting down in front of Xin Que's bed to look her in the eye, "Focus on recovering from your injuries, I'll find a chance to take you away."
He lowered his voice, "The people outside the ward are all from the Huo family. Don't alert them."
Xin Que's unfocused pupils gradually focused.
As Ying Yun carefully used a damp cotton swab to moisten Xin Que's chapped lips, her lips moved again.
This time, she managed to squeeze out a few hoarse, unpleasant words.
Only the two of them can hear it.
"Warden...how could you bear to come in and interrogate a serious criminal like me personally?"
"Could it be that times have changed... Huo Fenglin has dragged you down?"
"Wen Jingchen".
