Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

"Captain Wang, please do what you are good at. I will go check on that guy."

After the German finished speaking, he stood up, glanced at Qi Hanhai, then turned and left the room.

When Qi Hanhai heard "that guy", his heart skipped a beat. He himself would not say anything, but Zhang Yunsheng was different. He knew exactly what kind of person this guy was...

"Are you worried about others? Or are you worried about whether you will let go?"

Commander Wang interrupted Qi Hanhai's thoughts, smiled and clapped his hands, and then two agents came in from outside. They took Qi Hanhai out of the interrogation room and brought him to Commander Wang's favorite interrogation room.

The interrogation room is a place full of blood and pain. One wall is covered with various torture instruments that can make people suffer excruciating pain. They emit a chilling and frightening light, quietly waiting for the next victim to arrive.

The moment he saw them, Qi Hanhai swallowed his saliva, and his body began to tremble instinctively, but he quickly calmed himself down. It was just pain, nothing serious.

The secret agents hung Qi Hanhai in the interrogation room. After being hung up, Qi Hanhai shouted at the secret agents:

"You can kill me, chop me up, or torture me, it's up to you. Don't even think about hearing a good word from me!"

After hearing his shout, Commander Wang snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Okay! I want to see how tough you are!"

On the other side, Zhang Yunsheng had no idea what was going to happen to his companion. He sat on the interrogation chair anxiously. Unlike Qi Hanhai, he had no other restrictions except the handcuffs on his hands. The lighting in this room was also much brighter than that in Qi Hanhai's room.

Even so, Zhang Yunsheng's body couldn't stop shaking. He wanted to stop his shaking legs, but the more he tried, the more they shook. He wondered what would happen to him next. Would he be able to hold on? Would he die here?

Zhang Yunsheng was confused, his mind was in a mess. At this moment, he heard the dull footsteps getting closer and closer outside.

After a few seconds, the door was opened and a German walked in, followed by a spy.

"I...I won't say anything! Don't even think about getting any information from me!

Although Zhang Yunsheng had tried hard to calm himself, his voice was still trembling. When Yang Ke heard his trembling voice, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. He smiled kindly at Zhang Yunsheng and said, "Don't be afraid. My name is Yang Ke. I'm different from them. I don't like torture."

When Zhang Yunsheng heard the words "I don't really like torture", he felt relieved. If it was just an interrogation, he thought he wouldn't reveal anything.

Yang Ke sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Zhang Yunsheng: "Well, let's have a good chat."

After saying this, Yang Ke winked at the spy beside him. The spy immediately understood and stood up and brought another cup of tea on the table to Zhang Yunsheng.

The German's friendly attitude made Zhang Yunsheng feel less nervous. He looked into Yang Ke's blue eyes and asked, "What...what do you want to talk about?"

"Nothing much, just some small talk, like how you became one of them."

As soon as the words fell, the room fell into silence. Zhang Yunsheng didn't know what the German guy was planning, but he knew that no matter what the other party's plan was, the ultimate goal was to get information about the organization from him.

He was very hesitant as the process of joining the organization did not involve any useful intelligence. Zhang Yunsheng was worried that his guard, which he had already let down, would become even more relaxed during the chat.

"Oh, there's nothing to hesitate about. I'm just curious about why you chose this path. Does it involve any confidential information? No, right?"

Yang Ke raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Zhang Yunsheng said nothing and shook his head.

"How about you treat him and me as ordinary listeners and tell us your story?"

Zhang Yunsheng glanced at the spy beside him, then looked at Yang Ke's blue eyes, and after thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "A few years ago, Lao Qi saved my life, and then he asked me if I wanted to join him in the revolution, and I agreed, that's it."

After hearing these few words, Yang Ke looked at Zhang Yunsheng suspiciously and said, "That's it?"

"That's it."

Zhang Yunsheng nodded.

"Um…"

Yang Ke stroked his chin with his right hand and thought for two seconds. After two seconds, he continued to ask: "Then can you tell me why you want to revolt?"

"I did it for..."

Before Zhang Yunsheng finished speaking, Yang Ke made a stop gesture and said, "Stop, stop, stop, stop talking about big principles. Tell me what you think in your heart."

After the words fell, the room fell into silence again. Zhang Yunsheng lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing that he was silent again, Yang Ke stood up, leaned forward, put his hands on the table and said, "Since you don't want to talk, let me talk about myself first."

"I am doing this job here because I love my motherland. What about you, Mr. Zhang? Do you do your current job because you love your motherland?"

"I…"

Zhang Yunsheng opened his mouth but quickly closed it. He couldn't answer this question, even if he had the answer in his mind. No matter what the answer was, he couldn't answer it. If he answered, it would give the German a chance to attack his psychological defenses.

Seeing Zhang Yunsheng shut up, Yang Ke sighed softly. He walked out of the table and came to Zhang Yunsheng. He leaned over and whispered in Zhang Yunsheng's ear: "I guess you followed them, Mr. Zhang, just to be able to send a few more dollars back home every month, right?"

"You will receive a fixed amount of activity funds from your contact every month, and this is the time you look forward to the most every month, am I right?"

This emotionless sentence sounded like thunder to Zhang Yunsheng. His heart began to beat violently when he heard it. He raised his head as if he had received an electric shock and looked at Yang Ke. Yang Ke began to walk around Zhang Yunsheng, saying as he walked:

"Zhang Yunsheng lives at No. **, ** Road, Shanghai. He has a pair of elderly parents and a sister who is only fourteen years old."

"You send a fixed amount of money home every month. The amount is not fixed. This money supports your family's life. You explain to your family that you are working outside with your friends."

"Your parents are very unhappy with you being away for so long, and they hope you can return home as soon as possible to get married and start a family. Your sister's dream is to be admitted to a girls' school in Shanghai, and she hasn't thought about her future yet, so she'll think about it first after she gets admitted to the school."

At the end of his speech, Yang Ke stopped and walked around Zhang Yunsheng. He turned to Zhang Yunsheng and asked with a smile, "Am I right, Mr. Zhang Yunsheng?"

The smile on Yang Ke's face was extremely terrifying and heart-pounding in Zhang Yunsheng's eyes. He stood up suddenly and wanted to grab Yang Ke's collar to ask him what was going on, but Yang Ke was faster. Before he could stand up, Yang Ke held his shoulders and pushed him down.

"How do you know about my family? What did you do to them? Tell me! Tell me now!"

Zhang Yunsheng, who was being held down, roared angrily. Yang Ke smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, your family is fine. They are safe now."

Zhang Yunsheng's mood eased a little after hearing the words "safe and sound", but these four words were also warning him that if he didn't cooperate, he might be safe now, but there was no guarantee of safety in the future.

Yang Ke continued, "I took your family to an apartment and told them I was your friend and that you asked me to bring them to the street. Your parents were very happy and couldn't stop praising you to me. They also asked me to tell you to come home more often. Your sister was also very proud and asked me to tell you that she would study hard in school and get into the girls' school she wanted to go to."

When Zhang Yunsheng heard about his family's situation, his face quickly darkened and his head slowly lowered. His body began to tremble involuntarily, as if he was trying hard to control the fear and anxiety in his heart. He didn't know why the German in front of him knew about his family's situation, and he didn't want to think about it. His thoughts were in a mess, and his heart was filled with worry about his family and fear of the unknown.

"Mr. Zhang, I think you don't want your family's expectations of you to be in vain, right?"

Zhang Yunsheng lowered his head, clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Yang Ke did not continue to press Zhang Yunsheng. He sat back in his chair and said to Zhang Yunsheng, "I know this is a difficult question to decide. Mr. Zhang, you have plenty of time to think about it. It won't be too late to give me an answer tomorrow."

After saying this, Yang Ke made a gesture to the spy beside him. The spy understood what he meant, stood up and took Zhang Yunsheng away.

After the two left, Yang Ke was the only one left in the interrogation room. He looked at the chair in front of him where Zhang Yunsheng had been sitting and smiled. The first time he saw Zhang Yunsheng, he knew that this man was completely different from his companions. He believed that Zhang Yunsheng would give him a satisfactory answer after seeing Qi Hanhai's miserable condition tomorrow.

A few minutes later, Yang Ke got up and left the interrogation room. He walked along the corridor to the torture room. When he walked into the interrogation room, he heard a roar coming from inside. When he heard the roar, Yang Ke's expression couldn't help but look a little strange. This voice did not come from Qi Hanhai, but from Commander Wang.

"You! Will you tell me or not! Will you tell me or not! Will you tell me or not!!!"

Listening to Commander Wang's hoarse shouting, Yang Ke rolled his eyes helplessly. He didn't know why this Chinese man liked to yell and scream while torturing someone. It was a bit too noisy.

He pushed open the door and walked directly into the interrogation room. The agents in the room greeted him respectfully when they saw him. When Commander Wang noticed his arrival, he stopped his work, turned around, wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.

"Huh - this guy is very stubborn. Let alone intelligence, he won't even scream."

Commander Wang's words made Yang Ke raise his eyebrows. He focused his attention on Qi Hanhai behind Commander Wang, and saw that his white shirt was covered with bloodstains. The torture instrument used by Commander Wang was not too painful, just an ordinary whip.

Yang Ke looked at the torture instruments on the wall and said, "You haven't used those torture instruments yet. We'll know if he's tough enough by then."

"Too."

Commander Wang nodded in agreement and then asked, "How is the situation with Zhang? What did he say?"

Qi Hanhai, who was hanging in the air, immediately became alert when he heard them mention Zhang Yunsheng. What he was most worried about was that something might happen to Zhang Yunsheng. Now was one of the few opportunities to know the situation of his companions, and he would not give up.

Yang Ke approached Commander Wang and said, "It's OK. I'll let him think about it. I'll leave this to you..."

Qi Hanhai didn't hear clearly what they said, and based on the vague information he heard, he couldn't judge what Zhang Yunsheng's condition was.

After explaining some things to Commander Wang, Yang Ke left the interrogation room, and Commander Wang continued to torture him.

Time quickly came to the next day. As soon as the sun rose, Zhang Yunsheng, who was exhausted after not sleeping all night in the cell, heard a "ding ding" sound. He turned his head and saw Yang Ke, who was in high spirits, standing by the cell door and knocking on the iron bars with a key.

"Yo, good morning."

Zhang Yunsheng didn't think there was anything good about it at all.

Yang Ke brought Zhang Yunsheng out of the cell and outside the interrogation room. He stood at the door and asked Zhang Yunsheng, "I think you should know how your friend is doing now."

Zhang Yunsheng blinked his dry eyes and nodded. He could already imagine what Qi Hanhai looked like behind the door, and that was exactly what he feared the most - torture.

Yang Ke didn't even look at Zhang Yunsheng, but he knew what Zhang Yunsheng was most worried about at the moment, so he seemed to be talking to himself, as if to comfort him:

"Don't worry, we won't torture you..."

He opened the door as he spoke, and after hearing his words, Zhang Yunsheng felt relieved just as Yang Ke had expected.

Entering the interrogation room, the first thing Zhang Yunsheng saw was Qi Hanhai, who was hanging in the middle of the room and was dying. His ten fingers were swollen and broken. His originally handsome face was marked by the branding iron with indelible marks. The rest of his face was also covered with scars. His wrists were rubbed by the ropes and his flesh was bloody. His white shirt was completely stained red with blood. Under his feet were bloodstained torture instruments. The wall that was originally filled with torture instruments was now missing half of them. The used half were either thrown on the ground or placed on the table.

All of them were stained with Qi Hanhai's blood, and no one could imagine what kind of torture Qi Hanhai had gone through.

"Old Qi..."

Zhang Yunsheng opened his mouth. Seeing his friend's appearance, he felt a surge of anger in his heart for a moment, but it was followed by endless fear. He didn't want to go through such torture. He didn't want to be tortured beyond recognition. He wanted to say something, but only two words came out of his throat, and he couldn't say the rest.

"He is a determined fighter."

Yang Ke's face was serious, but his tone was extremely sincere. Anyone would respect such a person. He turned to Zhang Yunsheng and asked, "After a night of consideration, have you made a decision?"

"I…"

Zhang Yunsheng opened his mouth again, but this time he only uttered one syllable, and the rest was speechless. Last night was the most tormenting night in his life. Should he give up his family to save the revolution? Or betray the revolution to save his family?

Zhang Yunsheng didn't know how to choose, and he had no way to choose. He was unwilling to give up or betray either side, but he also knew that he had to choose one.

Seeing that Zhang Yunsheng was still hesitating, Yang Ke couldn't help but sigh:

"I know this is a difficult question to answer, so in order for you to answer the question, follow me for a moment."

"Eh?"

Zhang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was kicked out of the interrogation room by the secret agents. He followed Yang Ke to the stairs in a daze, where he saw a girl sitting on the stairs reading quietly, a girl he was very familiar with.

The girl was about fourteen years old, with a beautiful face, and her black hair tied into a pigtail that naturally fell on her shoulders. When she heard the footsteps, she raised her head and looked over here. When she saw Zhang Yunsheng, she hesitated for a moment, and then an unstoppable smile broke out on her face.

"elder brother!"

Hearing an extremely familiar name and seeing an extremely familiar person, Zhang Yunsheng couldn't believe his eyes and ears. He just didn't want to believe that his sister would be here, in this terrible place.

"Xiaoyu...you...what are you doing..."

He said with a trembling voice, but before he finished speaking, Xiaoyu closed the book in her hand, jumped up and walked quickly to Zhang Yunsheng, pouting in dissatisfaction and reproaching: "Brother, it seems that what Brother Yang said is true, have you really committed a crime?"

"I…"

Zhang Yunsheng looked at Yang Ke, and Yang Ke smiled at him. This time, Yang Ke's smile made him feel even more frightened than last night.

"Oh, I know you want to make some excuses in front of me, your sister, to save your image. It's okay. Brother Yang said it's just a small matter and he will help you handle everything."

"Right, Brother Yang?"

The innocent girl looked up at Yang Ke with great trust. Yang Ke nodded, patted Zhang Yunsheng on the back and pushed him forward, encouraging him: "Okay, don't just stand there. Your sister has been wanting to see you since early this morning. As a brother, why don't you give her a hug?"

"Oh...yes..."

Zhang Yunsheng mechanically raised his arms and hugged his sister, while Xiaoyu hugged Zhang Yunsheng tightly. She buried her head in Zhang Yunsheng's arms and sniffed a few seconds later and said, "Brother, our parents miss you very much. If you have time, come home more often. Brother Yang will help you with things here. You just need to listen to his arrangements."

"Although Brother Yang is a foreigner, he is different from those bad foreigners I have met. Brother Yang is a very good person."

Zhang Yunsheng hugged his sister tightly and shook his head vigorously. He could not accept this fact. He could not accept that his sister thought this German was a good person. He could not accept it no matter how hard he tried, but this was the reality.

After a few seconds Jade untied her arms, stretched and yawned, she didn't notice anything strange about her brother, she was just too nervous as it was his first time committing a crime.

"Brother, remember to come home after you finish your work here. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to bed first."

"goodbye--"

After saying that, the girl left and went upstairs.

After he could no longer hear the footsteps, Yang Ke didn't care about Zhang Yunsheng's current state. He put his arm around him and said, "Mr. Zhang, I think you should have made a decision in your heart, but I still have something to say to be on the safe side."

Yang Ke leaned close to Zhang Yunsheng's ear and whispered, "If you still insist on defending the revolution, the punishment your companions have suffered will be doubled and used on your lovely sister."

Zhang Yunsheng pushed Yang Ke away and kicked him, but Yang Ke easily resolved his attack and pinned him against the wall.

"You bunch of beasts..."

Zhang Yunsheng roared in a low voice, but he didn't dare to make a loud noise as he was afraid that his sister would hear him.

Yang Ke didn't care about Zhang Yunsheng's abuse. He continued: "And considering that she is a lovely girl..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunsheng struggled with all his might, but no matter how he struggled it was in vain. He could only turn his head and stare at Yang Ke with angry eyes.
