Jingzhe's little mouth involuntarily opened. Having been manipulated three times by Wayne's three sentences and three reversals, Jingzhe, whose mentality was about to explode, could only stare blankly at Wayne, a chill rising in her heart.
Knowing my identity and yet making such a provocative move, it's all been calculated by this man. I bet the moment she saw me, she was already prepared to watch this drama unfold.
Will I really be able to walk out of Sixth Street standing up today?
Chapter Fifty: The Blonde Philin, the Sarkaz, and the Red-Robed Psychopath
What's with that expression? Why do you look so scared of me?
Wayne looked at Jingzhe, who was retreating repeatedly, with a subtle expression, somewhat puzzled.
What's going on? Did I say something? Why does Sister Lei look so scared?
All I did was ask her what she wanted when she suddenly called me back. That's weird, that question was really scary. Were you serious about taking a half-step back? It made me feel like the bad guy...
"The Awakening of Insects?" Wayne called out, stretching out his hand.
Unexpectedly, Jingzhe trembled and shouted, "Give up!"
"What am I giving up?" Wayne pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered.
Jingzhe's expression darkened slightly: "So, it's true that such a good opportunity is absolutely impossible to give up?"
Wayne was increasingly confused. He glanced at Vina, then at Theresa, both of whom wore innocent expressions as if they hadn't done anything. Still somewhat uneasy, Wayne asked:
Do you know what happened?
Vina and Theresa shook their heads: "We don't know."
They genuinely didn't know. Vina was one of them; she wasn't even sure if she'd seen Jingzhe in the unicorn's report, so naturally she couldn't do anything. As for Theresa, she could sense Jingzhe's panic, but she had no idea why.
The Demon Lord can pry into others' memories and thoughts. But Theresa won't do that. Memories are a person's last secret as a human being, and recklessly prying into someone else's memories is against her principles. Wayne shares the same attitude. This is why Wayne never uses [Heavenly Mandate] unnecessarily.
When Jingzhe heard Wayne ask Theresa and Vina, her eyes lit up for a moment, but when she heard the two of them shake their heads in denial without hesitation, her expression darkened again.
Her last hope had been extinguished. The Aslan royal family member's words were clearly a request for their opinions on whether or not to kill them to silence them.
"Do either of you know what happened?"
Saying such things implies that we should eliminate the problem completely. Do you agree?
If both women answer "yes," it means they disagree; if they answer "no," it means they have decided to ignore what is about to happen, indicating "ignorance" and leaving it to Wayne to handle.
Both of them answered, "I don't know."
Jingzhe gritted her teeth, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed resignedly. She put the hood of her crimson robe back on, straightened her clothes, and a calm but resolute voice came from behind her half-hidden face:
"Gu, just kill me. I won't say a word!"
Wayne: "Huh?"
Vina, Theresa: "What?"
"Stop asking questions. You can't possibly get any information about the Dali Temple from the mouth of the twenty-four inspectors of the Dali Temple, codenamed Jingzhe. Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"
Jingzhe said coldly, puffing out her chest at Wayne, exposing her vital spot to Wayne without any cover.
Wayne's lips twitched. Although he didn't know what had happened, he still explained:
"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. How about we talk somewhere else?"
Jingzhe pursed her lips. Changing locations is fine. It's just that this place is near a casino, with a complex flow of people; if they make a move and cause a commotion, it could easily attract a crowd. Since Wayne is so cautious and unwilling to take that risk, even considering this aspect, Jingzhe had nothing to say.
She nodded slightly, then watched as Wayne walked over to a girl from Cassius and whispered something in her ear. The girl glanced at Jingzhe with a hint of fear, then hid behind Wayne before reassuring him to lead the way.
Jingzhe felt that the girl's gaze was somewhat familiar.
It's like watching those officials in the Dali Temple prison who try to escape their crimes by feigning madness.
To put it mildly, it's like treating a mental patient...
...........
Fifteen minutes later, in the core urban area of Lungmen, downstairs from the Lungmen Guard Bureau.
Chen had just returned to the Guard Bureau and was about to retrieve the surveillance footage to check the identities and whereabouts of the people who wanted to kidnap An Suo when he was stopped by his superior, Jiu, before he could even watch the recording.
"Chen? Why are you back?"
Jiu looked somewhat travel-worn, still wearing a full set of bulletproof vest and weapons vest. Seeing that she had just returned, Chen patiently explained:
“I encountered a kidnapping on the road. I’ll check the surveillance footage when I get back to find out the kidnappers’ background and whereabouts.”
Jiu was startled upon hearing this and quickly asked:
"A kidnapping? Who was kidnapped? The Victorian royal family? Were they injured?"
Seeing that she seemed even more anxious than he was, Chen chuckled and waved his hand.
"No, it has nothing to do with Wayne and the others. The kidnappers targeted a little girl from the slums. Wayne and the others weren't hurt, and they even helped me a lot."
Jiu visibly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in a chair, and took a sip of water.
For a fleeting moment, she thought Chen had messed things up. You see, receiving Victoria's distinguished guests was currently the most important matter for Longmen. According to Wei Yanwu's instructions, it was even more important than receiving the Inspectorate.
If Aslan and the others get into trouble in Lungmen, not only will Victoria not forgive them, but Wei Yanwu will not forgive them either. Don't be fooled by the fact that Jiu is Wei Yanwu's confidant; the longer Jiu spends with that person, the more he understands that a person like him has long abandoned emotions in order to achieve his goals, and he is capable of anything.
At least, apart from Lady Wenyue, Jiu didn't know who else in Longmen could persuade Wei Yanwu.
"It's good that it wasn't Aslan and his group. Are there any leads regarding the kidnapping?"
Chen opened his mouth, wanting to mention the secret, Penguin Logistics, and the password box, but he stopped himself from speaking.
Wayne had told her he would find Wei Yanwu and give her an explanation. Was telling Jiu now going against their promise?
But if I don't tell Jiu, wouldn't that go against my principles? What if the kidnappers strike again and target other people?
Seeing that Chen hesitated and did not speak, Jiu said:
"Since there are no leads, let's leave this to us for now. Our mission here is almost over, and I'll personally handle this kidnapping case. Chen, you should go back and complete your special mission."
Chen blinked, thought for a moment, and realized there was no reason to refuse, so he nodded.
"In that case, I'll be going now?"
"Inspector Chen!"
Before he could finish speaking, a policeman from the Imperial Guard rushed into the office. Seeing Nine there, he paused, then saluted and said:
"The Ninth Inning is here too."
Jiu raised his chin and asked:
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
"Oh, a group of blond Felins and Sarkaz came downstairs, leading a man in a red robe. They said they encountered a mentally ill person and brought him to our Guard Bureau. I thought their attire was a bit unusual, so I came up to report. What do you think..."
As the officer spoke, he took out his phone, opened the photo album, found the photos he had just taken, and handed them to Chen Hejiu.
Blonde Felin and Sarkaz?
Jiu and Chen exchanged a glance, then suddenly jumped up from their chairs and ran towards the elevator.
My God, those aren't just Felin and Sarkaz, they're Queen Aslan, the Prince and the Queen.
As for the mentally ill person in the red robe?
Good heavens, that's not a mental patient!
That's an inspector from the Dali Temple!
How come these two groups collided and caused such a huge mess when I was only gone for a few minutes?
Chapter 51 You're interrogating me!
"Name?" Jiu gripped his pen, staring at Jingzhe sitting in the restraint chair, his shoulders held down by two Royal Guard officers. A bead of cold sweat dripped from his temple as he forced himself to speak.
“You have no right to know,” Jingzhe replied coldly.
Jiu gave a wry smile and asked, "Then how should I address you?"
“The Awakening of Insects is just right,” said the Awakening of Insects.
"Miss Jingzhe, you've been reported for mental illness. What do you have to say about that?"
Jiu carefully considered his words, trying to ask in a tactful manner.
Upon hearing this, Jingzhe turned her head away, her face slightly flushed.
What do you mean by being reported and misunderstood as mentally ill? I was... oops, I wasn't mentally ill to begin with.
Jingzhe was also surprised to find herself sitting here. She had thought she would probably be taken to some desolate mass grave in the middle of nowhere, or to Wei Yanwu's secret underground base in Longmen, or even to some bridge under the moat around Longmen, where she would be executed by Wayne, tied with stones, and her body sunk in Causeway Bay.
But to her surprise, instead of taking her to those seemingly dangerous places, Wayne led her into the core city, winding her way to the Guard Bureau building.
Then, she grabbed her bewildered self, locked her hands behind her back, and dragged her inside. At the same time, she called out to the police, saying that she had hit a mentally ill person, but luckily she was quick-witted enough to trick them into coming here.
Jingzhe took a while to process who Wayne was talking about.
Then it suddenly dawned on me: Oh, the one with mental illness is myself!
Bah! I'm a complete lunatic! I'm Jingzhe, a serving inspector of the Dali Temple's Supervisory Office!
"Miss Jingzhe, how did you get here? And why were you considered mentally ill?" Jiu asked.
The Awakening of Insects fell silent.
This... this is really hard for her to answer.
She couldn't very well say that the reason she came here was because she felt that as an undercover inspector, she was incompetent and her acting skills were not good enough, which led to the failure of her mission. She thought that the big bad king Wayne had discovered her identity and that she was about to be taken to a hidden place to be executed. So she chose to be unyielding and had a strong will, and that's why she came along, right?
If these words hadn't come from her mouth, not only would Jiu and the others think that the person who said them was mentally ill, but even Jingzhe herself would have thought that the person who said them was mentally ill.
But of all things, it was me who said those words. What kind of situation is this?!
To maintain the image of the Dali Temple Inspector, this mentally ill character was absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, Jingzhe had no choice but to remain silent.
Chen went to find Wayne and the others to take their statements. The person accompanying Jiu to take her statement was a new policeman. Seeing that Jingzhe was acting like she had no confession and no one could do anything about it, pouting and not saying a word, he immediately slammed his hand on the table and used one of the three interrogation techniques he had learned in the police academy: playing the bad cop!
"boom!"
The table made a loud bang, startling Jingzhe and Jiu, who were standing nearby, and they both looked at the young police officer.
The young police officer rolled up his sleeves, stuck out his rear end, raised an eyebrow, and began to speak with a single sentence:
