It was the same few questions that Zhao Si answered over and over again. From his good cooperation at the beginning to his frustrated explanation later, his lips were dry from talking.
No one could tell him whether anyone listened to his explanation, and he never saw anyone again.
Zhao Sisi was lying on the floor with his arms and legs spread out. He had been left out in the cold for five days. There was not a single crack in the room where light could come in. He could only count the time silently in his mind.
He seemed to have been forgotten by the world. No one came to ask him questions anymore. He couldn't see anyone, nor could he hear any sound.
Only the sudden appearance of water and lunch boxes on time let him know that, oh, someone still remembered me.
Zhao Si took the food from the small platform that suddenly appeared on the wall, brought it to the table and started to eat it voraciously. He was very hungry. He had not eaten enough since he came in, and the boxed meals here were not tasty. He wanted to eat what he cooked himself.
It only took one day for Zhao Si to go from anger to humiliation, from humiliation to confusion, and from confusion to calm.
He soon came to terms with it. Since he hadn't done it, he wasn't afraid. Even if he was locked up for life, he wouldn't admit against his will that he was the damn spy.
But he really wanted to go out. He wanted to see Gu Lingfeng, even just for a glance. When he thought of Gu Lingfeng's worried and scared look on his face, he felt as if his heart was being pricked by a needle, making it hard for him to breathe.
He wanted to run, to escape from prison. He didn't know that there was no way he could get out alive from this place, but he still didn't dare.
Gu Lingfeng became a rope that tied him up. As long as Gu Lingfeng was there, he could not run away. He was afraid of implicating him.
Zhao Si didn't know that Gu Lingfeng had been implicated by him, so he was locked up in the room above his. Even the rooms were directly opposite each other, but he couldn't hear anything. He could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat.
Gu Lingfeng was not left out. He was interrogated for three days and three nights. During these three days, people kept asking him questions. Several groups of people changed, but he didn't even have time to close his eyes.
The shirt he was wearing was wrinkled beyond recognition, as were his pants. He had taken off his leather shoes and thrown them on the ground. His hair was disheveled, his beard was dark blue, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Gu Lingfeng could not feel the passage of time in this closed room. He only felt that he had answered countless questions. Later on, he even didn't know what he was answering. Only his mouth was speaking mechanically.
However, Gu Lingfeng would always ask them in between answering questions about Zhao Si, where Zhao Si was, what Zhao Si said, and whether Zhao Si was wronged...
But no one told him.
He was angry, irritable, and furious. He hit someone with his leather shoes, and then he was put on a silver bracelet.
Gu Lingfeng stared at the silver bracelet with hatred. He swore that he would make the person who reported Zhao Si pay the price. Even if Zhao Si was really a spy, it could not dilute his determination to take revenge.
Let’s keep things separate.
Although he had been interrogated for three days and three nights, and although he was in a very miserable state, Gu Lingfeng was not worried at all that he would not be able to get out. He was just afraid that if he got out, Zhao Si would stay here forever.
Gu Lingfeng really wanted to convince himself that Zhao Si was wronged, but he was not Su Nan. He knew Zhao Si better than Su Nan. It was precisely because he knew Zhao Si that he did not dare to jump to conclusions.
There were too many things that Zhao Si couldn't explain. He was like a star in the sky that suddenly appeared, falling directly from the sky and appearing out of thin air.
Gu Lingfeng racked his brains but couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
He regretted it very much. He should have gone back with Zhao Si to see his master earlier. That way, even if Zhao Si was an idiot and couldn't remember the location, at least he could help him remember it.
Then at this time, he can help Zhao Si explain with dignity and tell them that Zhao Si is not some crappy spy but a genuine Chinese citizen!
Gu Lingfeng was released on the afternoon of the fifth day. The National Security Bureau worked overtime to check all of Gu Lingfeng's itinerary and all his interpersonal relationships after he met Zhao Si, but found nothing suspicious.
No, there is actually still one suspicious point, that is Zhao Si.
There are many suspicious points about Zhao Si, and the National Security Bureau cannot find out the truth.
Gu Lingyun personally went to the National Security Bureau to pick up Gu Lingfeng, bringing with him Uncle Zheng, Gu's chief legal advisor.
The National Security Bureau's taking away of Zhao Si and Gu Lingfeng this time did not actually comply with relevant regulations. They neither issued an arrest warrant nor notified their relatives.
If Zhao Sihai hadn't exposed this matter, it might have been several days before Gu Lingyun knew that Gu Lingfeng had been arrested.
Both Zhao Si and Gu Lingfeng have special identities. Zhao Si is a celebrity, and a single stone will cause a thousand ripples. The National Security Bureau does not want to put him under the public eye before a thorough investigation, which will bring a lot of trouble and inconvenience to their investigation.
Gu Lingfeng is even more difficult to deal with. Gu's is a large group that can influence the country's overall economy. He is the young master of Gu's. If he is not careful, it will cause huge negative impact on the group. Thousands of people may lose their jobs.
Although the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and it is a serious crime involving national security, no matter who Gu Lingfeng is, he cannot stop their investigation.
But the key point is that they have no evidence to prove that Gu Lingfeng committed a crime, and they didn't find anything after working overtime for five days.
So under Gu Lingyun's constant efforts, the National Security Bureau had no choice but to release Gu Lingfeng first, but restricted all his entry and exit, and also sent people to observe him secretly.
"Brother, Uncle Zheng."
Gu Lingyun almost shed tears. He had never seen Gu Lingfeng like this before, looking fragile, disheveled and lifeless.
"Go...home." Gu Lingyun reached out and touched Gu Lingfeng's hair, just like when they were children.
"Brother, I'm not going home. I want to see Zhao Si." Gu Lingfeng sat down on the steps in front of the National Security Bureau's gate, looking at the sky he hadn't seen for a long time, and looking up to feel the spring breeze.
Gu Lingyun squatted down and reached out to pull him, "Be good, go home first, and then we'll find a solution when we get home."
"No, I'll wait for him here. I won't leave until I see him."
"Xiaofeng, be obedient." Gu Lingyun exerted his strength and pulled Gu Lingfeng so hard that his body was hanging in the air for a long time. "Mom and Dad have been very worried about you these days. They are waiting for you at home."
Gu Lingfeng burst into tears.
"Brother, I just want to see him once." Gu Lingfeng pulled Gu Lingyun's sleeve, tears rolling down his face. "Brother, please help me. I just want to see him once. I'm afraid I'll never see him again..."
Gu Lingyun's eyes were red, he hugged Gu Lingfeng, Gu Lingfeng hugged his brother's waist and cried like a child who had lost his toy.
"Brother, please help me..."
Zhao Si suddenly felt his chest tighten, and an inexplicable and huge sadness rose in his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He thought he heard Gu Lingfeng crying. He rolled over and pressed his ear against the wall, but there was no sound.
But he heard it. He heard Gu Lingfeng crying. Gu Lingfeng was right next to him, he could feel it.
Zhao Si stood with his ear pressed against the wall for a long time and felt a little itchy on his face. It turned out that tears were covering his entire face.
