You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, Major Crimes Unit, underground interrogation room.

The blinding incandescent light shone on the interrogation chair.

The storm was firmly secured to the chair by two thick iron chains.

His wrists and left leg were in thick casts, and he lay there like a lump of mud.

But his bloodshot eyes still held a fanatical fervor and mockery, like those of a suicide soldier.

Li Mingyu stood behind the interrogation table, slamming his fist on it in a fit of rage, spitting almost onto Feng Bao's face.

"Chu Feng! Stop playing dead! The thunderstorm at the golf course, the flooding in the underpass, and the attempted crime at the sports center—the evidence is irrefutable!"

Li Mingyu's voice became hoarse from shouting.

"How exactly did you get your hands on those military-grade coatings? Who are your accomplices at Xinghai New Materials Company? Confess now and we'll try to get lenient treatment!"

Storm didn't even lift his eyelids, but instead curled his lips into an extremely disdainful sneer.

"Lenient treatment? You idiot with an IQ of only 80, you dare to negotiate with me?"

The storm's voice was extremely weak due to internal injuries, but its tone was arrogant to the extreme.

"What I do is the will of God."

"You mortals will never be able to touch that great plan."

"Kill me, I won't say anything."

"You son of a bitch!"

Enraged, Li Mingyu drew his baton from his waist, wishing he could smash the other good leg.

"Bang."

The heavy iron door of the interrogation room was pushed open.

Lin Chen walked in with his hands in his pockets and a blank expression.

Su Qingge followed closely behind him.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Storm's eyes narrowed instantly, and his arrogance involuntarily subsided somewhat.

The fear of being unilaterally crushed by Lin Chen on the yacht was deeply ingrained in his bones.

"Advisor Lin, this guy is incredibly stubborn, he won't listen to reason or threats, he's practically a brainwashed assassin."

Li Mingyu quickly moved aside, not forgetting to give himself a way out.

"Get out."

Lin Chen didn't even glance at Li Mingyu, and said indifferently.

"Huh? But according to regulations, interrogation must..."

"go out."

Lin Chen's tone became more forceful, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.

Li Mingyu shrank back and looked to Su Qingge for help.

Su Qingge nodded: "Captain Li, go outside and keep watch, and turn off the surveillance recording."

Li Mingyu slunk out of the interrogation room, closing the door behind him.

Only Lin Chen, Su Qingge, and Feng Bao remained in the interrogation room.

Lin Chen walked to the interrogation table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

He pulled an extremely small glass medicine bottle from his pocket, which contained a translucent blue liquid.

This is the "Truth-Telling Agent" rewarded by the system, which ignores any drug resistance and forces the target to reveal the truth.

"Lin Chen, what exactly are you trying to do? Torture is against the rules."

Storm looked at the small medicine bottle and instinctively sensed a hint of danger, shifting uncomfortably in the interrogation chair.

"Torture to extract confessions? You overestimate yourself."

Lin Chen sneered.

"I wouldn't even dare to lay a hand on a self-righteous lunatic like you."

Lin Chen stood up, walked up to Feng Bao, and roughly grabbed his chin, forcing him to open his mouth.

"Ugh—what are you doing!"

The storm struggled desperately, but his limbs were already crippled. Faced with Lin Chen's astonishing strength, he was like a weak chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen poured the blue truth serum directly into Storm's mouth, then lifted his chin and forced him to swallow it.

"Cough cough cough..."

Storm coughed violently, his eyes filled with terror.

"What did you give me to drink?!"

Three seconds.

Only three seconds passed.

The storm's gaze, which had been filled with fervor and resistance, instantly became scattered and empty.

His pupils dilated slightly, his facial muscles completely relaxed, and he entered an extremely strange state of absolute obedience.

Su Qingge watched in stunned silence.

She had never seen a drug with such terrifying effects; it was beyond all her common sense about criminal investigation.

Lin Chen sat back down in his chair, activated [God-level Micro-expression Analysis], and stared intently at Feng Bao's face.

"Tell me, who exactly is behind Xinghai New Materials Company, directing you?"

Lin Chen's voice was extremely deep, as if it possessed some kind of magic, directly penetrating the subconscious of the storm.

Storm opened its mouth mechanically, its voice devoid of any inflection, like a machine reciting data.

"It's... the 'Sky Dome Group' in Beijing."

Upon hearing this name, Su Qingge's face turned deathly pale.

Sky Dome Group!

Those are super-capital behemoths entrenched in Beijing, the largest traditional energy oligarch in China, controlling countless mines, oil fields, and heavy industry lifelines. In comparison, the companies in Jiangcheng are like ants under an elephant's feet.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew there was a big fish behind this case, but he didn't expect it to be this big.

"Why did they kill Wang Defa? Why did they create these weather disasters?"

Lin Chen continued to press for answers.

"Sky Dome Group...is determined to maintain its absolute monopoly on traditional energy."

The storm answered mechanically.

"Jiangcheng's new energy industry is developing too fast. Wang Defa's solid-state battery project, as well as several other core new energy companies, have already threatened their interests."

"They sent me to use weather weapons to create 'accidents' and destroy the key figures and supply chains of these competitors."

"This way, we can suppress the new energy industry without arousing the suspicion of the police."

Lin Chen's eyes were icy cold.

What a terrible company, Tianqiong Group! In order to maintain its monopoly, it has turned the citizens of Jiangcheng City into pawns on a chessboard, slaughtering them indiscriminately!

"Besides Wang Defa, who else is on your assassination list?"

Lin Chen asked the most crucial question.

The storm paused for a moment, and a faint struggle flashed in his unfocused eyes, but under the powerful suppression of the truth serum, he still spoke.

"And... the Ye Group."

"The new generation of high-energy battery arrays that the Yip Group has recently invested heavily in research and development is the biggest thorn in the side of the Sky Dome Group."

"Tomorrow's plan is to take advantage of a localized thunderstorm to destroy the Ye Group's new energy testing base in the suburbs... and completely eliminate Ye Qingcheng along with it."

Lin Chen's pupils contracted instantly.

An extremely terrifying killing intent erupted from him, making the temperature in the entire interrogation room seem to drop several degrees.

A leaf can captivate a city?

court death.

Lin Chen stood up, not glancing at Feng Bao again, and walked straight towards the interrogation room door.

"Lin Chen, where are you going?"

Su Qingge quickly chased after him.

"The Sky Dome Group's power is too immense. This matter must be reported to the provincial authorities; we cannot act rashly!"

"By the time the reporting process was completed, the Ye family's base had already been bombed to the ground."

Lin Chen pushed open the door and said without turning his head.

"Business matters should be resolved using business methods."

He took out his phone and glanced at the time.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Lin Chen dialed Ye Qingcheng's private number.

"Qingcheng, prepare all your working capital."

"Tonight, I'm going to change the weather in the capital."
