Chapter 1333: Intoxicatingly Irresistible
Huo Guanchen’s heart lurched and he quickly asked, “Is my father out of danger?”
“His life isn’t in danger for now. If he still doesn’t wake up tomorrow, you can transfer him to another ward and find a professional nurse to take care of the patient in a brain dead state.” The attending doctor had been exhausted for hours, so he really didn’t have the energy to speak anymore. He waved his hand and left with his team.
Xie Shenxing looked at Huo Guanchen with ambivalentfeelings.
Although he didn’t like Huo Xuenong, as his son, it was understandable that Huo Guanchen was filial to his father.
Even if his father wasn’t a good person, he was still his father.
No one could choose their own biological parents.
Xie Shenxing sighed and comforted Huo Guanchen. “Guanchen, don’t be too despondent. Your father has a bad temper. Maybe it will be better for him to take this opportunity to recuperate. It’s getting late, I have to go back and rest.”
“Uncle, you’ve worked hard.” Huo Guanchen was very apologetic. “I’ve been asking you to go back first. Why are you being so courteous with us?”
“I’m not being courteous with you. I played a part in angering your father into such a state today. Of course I have to wait here. At the very least, I have to make sure that his life isn’t in danger.” Xie shenxing boasted shamelessly.
Gu Nianzhi was ashamed of her inability to do so and felt even more respect for Xie Shenxing. She whispered beside him, “It’s already midnight. Granduncle, you should go back to Major General Huo’s place to rest. It’s too far to go to West Mountain from here.”
“That’s fine.” Xie Shenxing didn’t stand on ceremony. He wasn’t young anymore, and his body couldn’t take staying up all night.
Huo Shaoheng held Xie Shenxing’s other arm and said to Huo Guanchen, “Then I’ll leave grandfather to you.”
Huo Guanchen waved his hand with a worried look on his face. “Take Granduncle to your place to rest. I’ll be here, so don’t worry.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded and with Gu Nianzhi, he led Xie Shenxing back to his official residence at the headquarters of the Special Operations forces.
Xie Shenxing had planned to take Gu Nianzhi to his West Mountain Villa to find the way, but Huo Xuenong had called him over on the way. He ended up staying in the hospital until late at night.
…
In the car, Xie Shenxing took out the sealed doc.u.ment bag from the briefcase of the entourage and handed it to Huo Shaoheng. “This was left for you by your uncle.”
Finally, he took out a letter and said uncomfortably, “This letter is for your mother, Song Jinning.”
Huo Shaoheng: ” … ”
Gu Nianzhi: “! ! !”
The car drove quietly on the empty street, on the viaduct, and sped along the highway. It then turned around and quickly returned to the headquarters of the Special Operations forces.
After sending Gu Nianzhi and Xie Shenxing back to their official residence, Huo Shaoheng rushed to the operations building without stopping. He watched as the interrogators interrogated Luo Jialan overnight.
Anyone who had been through a criminal interrogation knew that staying up all night to interrogate the suspects was the most effective.
Especially when the suspects were extremely sleepy, they would answer whatever they were asked, using no other means at all.
…
In a small interrogation room in the operations building of the Special Operations Forces headquarters, the interrogation had already been going on for several hours.
Huo Shaoheng went to the next room and looked at the interrogation room across from him through the one-way gla.s.s window.
The small interrogation room was very simple. The inlaid LED shadow-less lamp shone with a silvery white condensation light. In the middle of the room was a small square table with two solid wood chairs fixed to the floor on either side.
Luo Jialan sat facing the one-way gla.s.s window.
She didn’t have any expression and kept shaking her head in refusal to answer any questions.
After Huo Shaoheng entered, the interrogators on duty immediately reported to him.
“Reporting to the chief, three interrogators have been replaced. Every two hours, three interrogators were replaced. The suspect still refuses to answer any question.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded. “Continue.”
Only three interrogators had been replaced. It was still early.
The longest record of their interrogation was 21 interrogators. After 48 hours of continuous interrogation, they finally broke through the psychological defense of the exhausted suspect, who began to confess.
Although Luo Jialan’s will was stronger than the average person’s, she still didn’t have the endurance of those well-trained national spies.
When it changed to the fourth interrogator, she simply felt a buzzing sensation in her head. The female interrogator across from her was clearly right in front of her, but her voice seemed to come from the distant horizon.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the female interrogator in front of her. She found that her vision was blurred and she could barely see the face of the person across from her.
Her eyelids were so heavy that she could barely lift them. Waves of sourness invaded her brain. She was like a traveler trekking in the desert with her legs tied with wet sandbags soaked in water, and she struggled to move.
When the other person’s question was repeated so many times that it formed a conditioned reflex in her mind, her psychological defense collapsed completely.
She answered whatever the other person asked her.
A black high-precision camera poked out from the roof and captured the entire room.
Every moment she answered the question was captured by the camera.
The female interrogator’s voice was toneless and flat without any fluctuations, and it had a hypnotic effect.
“Luo Jialan, how did you meet Aiko Yamaguchi?”
Luo Jialan answered absentmindedly, “Wwhen I was in France, I went to attend the flower arrangement and tea ceremony cla.s.ses. She and I were the only two Asians in the cla.s.s.”
The female interrogator asked again, “How much do you know about Aiko Yamaguchi?”
Luo Jialan pursed her lips. For some reason, she had a brief internal struggle.
But after the female interrogator repeated the question, she still told her everything.
“Aiko Yamaguchi was j.a.panese and had been doing business in the Huaxia Empire. She has a twin sister named Yoko Yamaguchi.”
The female interrogator nodded. “What do you know about Yoko Yamaguchi?”
“Yoko Yamaguchi died because of Gu Nianzhi, Aiko Yamaguchi swore to kill Gu Nianzhi in order to avenge her sister. ”
The female interrogator continued to ask, “Why did Yoko Yamaguchi die because of Gu Nianzhi? ”
Luo Jialan shook her head absentmindedly. “I don’t know, she didn’t tell me.”
The female interrogator had no choice but to change the subject. “Then how did Yoko Yamaguchi try to kill Gu Nianzhi?”
Luo Jialan: ” … Yoko Yamaguchi used her entire net worth to set up a trap. She told me that she would definitely kill Gu Nianzhi.”
“And then?”
Luo Jialan: “But the German who was working with her, York, went back on his word and asked her for money again.”
“again? How much did she give him?”
Luo Jialan: “Aiko Yamaguchi gave York 100 million US dollars, But York wasn’t satisfied. He demanded another five million euros, and said that he would give it to his stepson while he was on the run. He also requested that it not be remitted from Aiko Yamaguchi’s account.”
“And you borrowed it? Five million euros isn’t a small amount. Were you going to lend it to Aiko Yamaguchi or give it to her?”
” … Aiko Yamaguchi told me that the trap she set up had already put Gu Nianzhi in danger in Germany. She had almost fallen into a state of despair where she wouldn’t have gotten any help no matter how she shouted for it.”
Luo Jialan’s dazed eyes flashed with joy, as if she was envisioning Gu Nianzhi in danger.
This scene made her happy from the bottom of her heart.
“So you agreed?”
Luo Jialan nodded. “I agreed to pay this sum of money on the condition that Gu Nianzhi would die.”
In order to crush Gu Nianzhi and send her to h.e.l.l earlier, Luo Jialan, who had always been stingy, generously offered five million euros.
It was this five million euros that exposed her and Aiko Yamaguchi to the special operations forces, who had been tracking Aiko Yamaguchi (Yoko) for two years, and gave them a new glimmer of hope.
The female interrogator took notes and continued to ask, “Aiko Yamaguchi agreed? ”
“She was very surprised and asked me whether I had a grudge against Gu Nianzhi as well.” Luo Jialan licked her lips and wondered why her mouth was so dry..
She barely realized how much she had spoken.
The female interrogator chuckled. “What did you say?”
“I said, I have a grudge against her. ——She stole my man. I hate her more than I would hate someone for killing my parents.”
This was what she had said to Aiko Yamaguchi at that time. She had a deep impression of it because at that time, she had received Aiko Yamaguchi’s unexpected approval.
It was only after that that Aiko Yamaguchi took her as a confidant and told her many other things.
For example, Aiko Yamaguchi had “died” in the hands of pirates in the Caribbean Sea, so when she came out to set up a trap, no one would ever suspect her as the culprit behind it…
..
After the interrogation, Luo Jialan was taken away and imprisoned.
The female interrogator sorted out her interrogation information and shook her head regretfully.
Human beings die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food, a man who was too good was also intoxicatingly irresistible to women.
She put away the folder and went to the room next door to knock on the door.
“Come in.” Huo Shaoheng’s deep and magnetic voice came from inside the room.
The female interrogator pushed the door open and entered.
Huo Shaoheng, who was also clad in a black special ops uniform, sat under the same silvery-white LED inlaid shadow-less light.
His expression was calm and composed while his eyes were pitch-dark.
The female interrogator placed the folder on the small square table in front of him. She raised her head to reveal an alluring face.
Her light brown waves were draped behind her head. Her skin was snow-white, her nose was high, and her eyes were deep. Her red lips were dazzling, and she had the unique beauty of a mixed-race woman.
She was tall and slender, and her curves undulated like a mountain range.
When she looked at people, although her eyes were emotionless, they could still intoxicate people.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her and smiled. He sized her up from head to toe. “You’re back? Looks like your training went well.”
The female interrogator immediately gave him a proper military salute. “Reporting to the chief. I just returned to the base yesterday. I didn’t have enough people to interrogate today, so I temporarily took over.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded, then crossed his legs and said nonchalantly, ” … How was the interrogation?”
The female interrogator picked up the folder and explained the results of the interrogation before concluding.
” … From the combination of Luo Jialan’s testimony and our intelligence, it can be seen that these two people who bothed despised Gu Nianzhi became true close friends. They also reached an agreement to have Luo Jialan transfer the final five million euros into York’s bank account.”
“York received the final payment and went even further in their pursuit of Gu Nianzhi.”
“Aiko Yamaguchi even personally went to Germany to a.s.sume command.”
“But because the German Gestapo interfered, they didn’t succeed.”
“Gu Nianzhi was rescued and detained by Reinitz. Aiko Yamaguchi also wet missing.”
Huo Shaoheng listened quietly for a while, then said, ” … Aiko Yamaguchi didn’t tell Luo Jialan the truth either. I don’t believe she has a twin sister named Aiko Yamaguchi. Also, send someone to check the French records, especially the cla.s.ses Luo Jialan attended, and see if they can find any clues about Aiko Yamaguchi. ”
“Yes, sir.” The female interrogator quickly recorded it down. “I’ll pa.s.s it to the person in charge.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly and said with satisfaction, “I have other tasks for you. Take a break for now and rest for a few days.”
After the female interrogator left, Huo Shaoheng took out the sealed doc.u.ment bag that Xie Shenxing had given him and the letter that was addressed to Song Jinning. He placed them on the small square table in front of him and began to ponder over them.
