I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 25 There is a Reborn Person in the Mansion 24
"Miss Qin, if you had confessed sooner, you wouldn't have had to endure such suffering. What a pity."

At this moment, Yu Muhuai was tied to a wooden stake and completely ignored the words of the jailers. She squinted and kept hypnotizing herself in her mind.

"This isn't my body, this isn't my body, I don't hurt, I don't hurt, I don't hurt!"

But when the first lash came, Yu Muhuai couldn't help but shed tears.

"Holy shit, that really hurts!!"

On the first day of interrogation, on the second day of flogging, and on the third day, not long after the torture began, Yu Muhuai fainted.

Before he fainted, Yu Muhuai thought, "I'm finally experiencing what it's like to faint in TV dramas."

But soon, Yu Muhuai was jolted awake by a bucket of cold water.

He opened his eyes groggily, and through the water droplets on his eyelashes, Yu Muhuai saw the person in front of him.

Xu Yannong.

That guy always brings trouble.

Looking at the woman in front of him, who was covered in wounds and bloodstains, Xu Yanong's eyes actually held a hint of a smile.

Yu Muhuai blinked hard before he was sure he wasn't seeing things; Xu Yanong was actually smiling.

Before Yu Muhuai could react, Xu Yannong waved his hand, signaling all the jailers behind him to leave.

"Yes, sir." The jailers bowed their heads and left the cell, making sure to close the door behind them.

Looking at Xu Yanong, who was clearly different from before, Yu Muhuai shrank his neck and felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

"Is this guy some kind of pervert who enjoys torturing prisoners? A psychopath who gets happier seeing prisoners suffer? Or is he actually a bloodthirsty demon who gets excited when he sees prisoners bleeding and crying? No way, no! Qin Shuye, hurry up and do your job to save your dear sister!!"

Just as Yu Muhuai was lost in thought, having all sorts of fantasies and deeply calling out to Qin Shuye, she suddenly heard three words that shocked her to no end.

"Yu Muhuai".

Nani?

Yu Muhuai stared wide-eyed at the man facing her in disbelief.

Xu Yannong's lips curled up, as if she had seen something very interesting, and she seemed to be in a very pleasant mood.

This was the first time Yu Muhuai had seen such an expression on Xu Yanong's face. In the past, Xu Yanong was always serious and focused, with her lips pursed, showing great restraint and not letting her emotions show.

"Aren't you surprised? How do I know your name?"

Me? I didn't refer to myself as "this official"?

Yu Muhuai opened his cracked and bleeding lips and asked in a hoarse voice, "You...you're not Xu Yanong?"

Xu Yanong raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "Then guess who I am?"

"Where did I come from? Where am I going?"

"Huh?" The other person looked puzzled when they heard Yu Muhuai's strange words.

Yu Muhuai rolled his eyes. "'Who am I?' Haha, are you trying to discuss some philosophical topic with me? If you really want to discuss it, I can talk for three days and three nights without stopping."

Back in my university debate club, we were practically a mascot. As long as I was there, no one in the city—no, in the entire province—dared to challenge our club. Do you know why?

Xu Yannong tilted her head in confusion and asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Because I am eloquent and persuasive, able to answer fluently and cleverly, with a silver tongue and quick wit, I am unmatched in the world, leaving my opponents shaking their heads in debate. This is me, the once-in-a-century genius of the debate club, Yu Muhuai!" Xu Yannong was stunned for a long time before realizing that she had been led astray.
"Oh, that's interesting."

"Stop!" Yu Muhuai interrupted directly, saying righteously, "Are you going to say something like, 'You've successfully caught my attention,' that kind of cliché?"
Sorry, I'm not a Mary Sue novel heroine, and you shouldn't pretend to be some kind of domineering CEO!

I have unwavering faith and conviction. You heretics and demons, don't try to bewitch, deceive, or control me. I will not yield! For the founding of the new [organization], charge!

Xu Yannong's smile was starting to falter. What was all this about?
He nodded, closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths to suppress his inner turmoil, and then looked up, maintaining a refined smile.

"Yu Muhuai, let's get straight to the point."

Yu Muhuai ignored what the other person said and asked another question instead.

"Will Xu Yannong, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, know about our conversation right now?"

"No, he'll just think it was a dream, a dream he'll quickly forget after waking up. Don't worry."

"That's good, he, tui!"

At that moment, Yu Muhuai felt as if time had inexplicably stood still.

A piece of clear saliva clung to the head of the man in front of him, "Xu Yannong," whose expression was blank and eyes wide. He remained motionless, still feeling the lingering warmth of the saliva, for a long time before reacting.

"Hahaha, I've wanted to do this for ages! Always wearing that zombie face, looking like he's asking for a beating. He's always clinging to me, isn't he annoying? Interrogate him, interrogate him, you old mum!"

Despite the physical pain, Yu Muhuai laughed heartily, cursing to her heart's content, which made her feel much better. At this moment, her voice was full of energy, steady and powerful, not at all like a prisoner who had endured two days of torture.

Veins bulged on Xu Yannong's forehead as he clenched his fists, seemingly suppressing his emotions.

He took out a handkerchief, wiped the saliva from his head, and continued to take deep breaths, trying his best to calm himself down.

Seeing this, Yu Muhuai was certain that the monster inside Xu Yanong's body couldn't use any magic for the time being; otherwise, why would he be wiping away her drool with a handkerchief?

The previous sound could almost stop time, and now this person is even using a handkerchief, which shows that his abilities are limited at this moment.

"Yu Muhuai, you are amazing. I have never seen anyone like you in any agency before."

Does this person know that firm with the long name?

However, before Yu Muhuai could speak, seemingly afraid of being led astray again, "Xu Yannong" immediately spoke up.

"I can get you out of your current predicament, help you escape danger, and then successfully complete your mission. You won't suffer any more pain, and you won't have to risk your life. You can easily get what you want."

Yu Muhuai didn't believe there was such a good thing in the world. "What do I need to give up?"

Xu Yannong regained his confident smile and said, "You're really smart. I don't need to say much; you guessed it so easily."

Do we even need to guess about this?

"Was it your doing that I went back to jail?"

"Ha, you overestimate yourself. I won't interfere in worldly affairs unless absolutely necessary. I'm just a lifeline for you when you're in trouble. Or you can call me the Savior."

Let me see, what's valuable about your clothes?

After saying "Xu Yannong," she made a scrutinizing gesture, looking Yu Muhuai up and down, left and right, front and back, without any blind spots.

That look made Yu Muhuai feel like a fat duck lying on a chopping board.
