“No,” Feng Caijun’s voice suddenly rose, “These images are not real-time footage of the interrogation plan at all!”
What appeared on the floating screen was not Huo Fenglin, which everyone wanted to see, but the interrogation records of Xin Que and the Xu family.

"Wen Jingchen, what value do you possess that I would consider investing in?"
"Just dirt on my nephew?"
"Ha...aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"
"Do you think everyone else is a fool, and only you were able to find those clues?"
Xin Que sat in a low-lying area in the shadows, the strands of hair hanging down her forehead blurring her gaze as she stared at the handcuffs on her wrists.
The person in the shadows lowered their eyes and buried all their thoughts, almost blending into the dark and damp corner.
"You think you can get me out of Huo Fenglin's hands with these worthless scraps... that's just wishful thinking."
The man standing on the high slope was surrounded by countless tall, burly figures fully armed with weapons, providing impenetrable cover, but unable to stop the sunlight from pouring down on him.
The man's nonchalant yet extremely intimidating voice traveled through the medium to Xin Que's ears.
Xin Que maintained a respectful posture with her head bowed.
You come, I go.
Little by little, the weights were added to her side of the scale, which was tilted high, until the scale gradually became balanced.
"gentlemen."
Xin Que's voice still carried the respect that men expected of the lower class, "I have nothing else... but this one thing: loyalty."
“I’ve gotten more than just these empty details from the interrogation plan… there’s also something you might be interested in… the head of the household’s decree.”
"The reason why Huo Fenglin secretly interrogated the serious criminal Xin Que was because she had taken important evidence that could shake Huo Fenglin's status as his successor during the bombing case."
The man on the high slope finally looked Xin Que in the eye.
“I hope to have the opportunity to serve you,” Xin Que said firmly, “and I sincerely beg you to grant me a way to live.”
"Rest assured, in just half a month... I, Wen Jingchen, will definitely present you with whatever you desire."
"Half a month?" the man scoffed.

"A miniature bomb has been implanted near your leg artery. 72 hours to go... If you attempt to escape or betray the master during this time, you know the consequences."
Xin Que nodded with a smile, seeing Wen Jingchen's face reflected in the doctor's eyes.
Afterwards, she straightened her uniform and let Lin Ying, who pushed open the door, take her away.
"Wen Jingchen, for a moment I don't know whether to hate you or thank you." Lin Ying walked beside her, expressionless. "You actually guessed right about Huo Fenglin..."
He was glad that he had chosen a new ruler quickly enough.
Why dwell on the past? As long as our interests align... does it matter whether we were enemies in the past?
Xin Que said in a relaxed voice, "Besides, you and I are just pawns being manipulated by Huo Fenglin. Aren't all those hatreds the result of human manipulation?"
Lin Ying scoffed, "Alright, instead of lecturing me, you should think about how to complete the mission in these three days."
Over the next three days, Wen Jingchen had to deal with Feng Caijun and his gang while also figuring out how to get what his employer wanted...
This is an almost impossible task.
Xin Que's expression remained unchanged. "We'll wait and see."
[Time: August 14, 3:10 AM]
Hearing the noise behind them, Feng Caijun and the engineer immediately turned around.
“Assistant Feng,” Xin Que’s smile remained unchanged, “after interfering in the mental prison for so long, shouldn’t it be returned to its rightful owner?”
Feng Caijun's refined expression finally turned cold. He glanced at the armed personnel in mental prison uniforms behind Xin Que, and asked in a gloomy voice, "Who let you out?"
Moreover, it seems that Wen Jingchen has found a new backer.
“Assistant Feng, I don’t want to offend you,” Xin Que spread her hands, “It would be better to keep things peaceful, don’t you think?”

"Humanoid Restraint Program 01, you've reached a dead end, are you still going to fight a losing battle?"
King Pingdeng and King Yama stood in mid-air in front of Luo Huayi, with two towering Yama statues behind them.
The statues, one on the left and one on the right, with eyes devoid of sculpted pupils, exude an oppressive aura that makes it impossible for anyone to stand upright, looking down upon the man whose flesh is now mangled and bloodied in the shattered city.
The shocking injuries on Luo Huayi's body were gradually restored by the authority he held.
The AI specialist present was not surprised by this result.
They even looked down on it.
If Luo Huayi could pose a threat to them at the beginning, now she is just an ant that they can crush to death with a flick of their wrist.
With each exchange, Luo Huayi's injuries healed at a slower and slower pace.
This indicates that he has almost exhausted his authority.
Protected by King Chujiang and King Song, Huo Fenglin gradually lowered his guard after witnessing countless battles.
"What benefits did Xin Que promise you?"
Huo Fenglin even had the leisure to pay attention to information beyond his own safety, trying to understand why Luo Huayi was so desperate for Xin Que's sake.
"There aren't that many whys..."
Luo Huayi's voice gradually recovered from its near-death state.
The man rose from the ruins once again.
“Alright,” Huo Fenglin’s momentum gradually returned. He stood behind the two kings, coldly looking at the ungrateful program in front of him. “Then I’ll put it another way.”
"Xin Que doesn't think she can hide in a corner and push you out as a low-level program to take the hit... and get away with it, does she?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Huayi did not show the anger that Huo Fenglin had expected. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his blood-stained face.
The King of Equality and the King of Hell, who stood before him, saw the enemy rise again. Their expressions were indifferent, and the magical weapons in the hands of the statues tore through the air once more, crashing down on Luo Huayi's location with overwhelming force, like Mount Tai pressing down.
[Time: August 14, 4:10 AM]
"Warden." The armed man changed his address to Wen Jingchen and led him back to the warden's office, which had been unsealed.
Xin Que lifted her leg and walked towards the floating screen. "Let's go to the control room first."
Xin Que glanced at the engineers who dared not speak out, "Mr. Huo is still trapped in the interrogation plan due to system malfunction. Don't worry, I will ensure his safety first, no matter what."
The interrogation has been suspended.
The abandoned interrogation scheme in the Void Land was quickly taken over and replaced by Luo Huayi as the new interrogation was suspended.
