Chapter 97 Interrogation of White Rose

Interrogation Room No. 2

Wang Xuesen stood outside the iron gate, quietly looking through the window into the room.

White Rose sat trembling in the chair, still spewing vulgarities and arrogance: "Let me tell you bastards, I know your Director Wang and your Mrs. Ye."

"If anyone dares to lay a finger on me, I'll wipe out their entire family when I get out of here."

"You stupid fool who doesn't know what's good for him!" Wang Xuesen cursed under his breath.

A moment later, the skinny guy walked over: "Director, this woman keeps making a racket, what should we do?"

"No rush."

"Keep her locked up for now."

"Everyone, let's work overtime tonight, around 2:30 AM, I'll interrogate her again then."

Wang Xuesen gave the order.

"How's your brother's situation?" he asked again.

Ma Gan'er was extremely grateful: "Thanks to the director, Boss Lu from the cement factory personally brought people to apologize, and also got my nephew into the factory security team."

"Now our whole family can finally rest easy."

"I was worried they would report it..."

"What about the compensation?" Wang Xuesen interrupted, asking.

"Boss Lu said he'd send it over in a couple of days!" said Magan'er.

"What a drag. I'll make another call later. These bastards are asking for it if I don't teach them a lesson." Wang Xuesen was somewhat annoyed.

The man surnamed Lu is clearly observing the situation.

Let's see if this poor family of Ma Gan'er can really get me to do anything.

After all, big shots can't always meddle in the affairs of underlings. If they just do a favor for a while, it's just a matter of asking for a few words, and it will be over in a few days, saving them money, right?

Wang Xuesen was all too familiar with these guys' tactics.

"Thank you, Director." The skinny guy bowed repeatedly.

"alright."

"Take this to Lao Ma. After get off work, tell the brothers to go out for a good meal. Eat well so they can work better in the second half of the night." Wang Xuesen took out a hundred yuan in legal tender from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Director, this is just our job, how could we trouble you to spend money?"

"Old Ma and the others can't accept it either."

The skinny guy shook his head and refused.

"Alright."

"Just accept it as I told you to."

Without saying another word, Wang Xuesen slapped the money into his hand and left.

……

I'm off work.

He went straight to Lao Du's pharmacy.

The reason was perfectly legitimate: Ye Jiqing asked him to buy some kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac medicine for Old Li.

I reckon Old Li hasn't been very proactive lately, and his wife is unhappy about it.

Upon entering the consultation room, Old Du first carefully took his pulse, then nodded and said, "You've been doing well lately, your pulse is quite normal. It seems you've finally taken my advice on health preservation to heart."

"Yes, yes, you're the eldest brother, how could I not listen to you?" Wang Xuesen replied with nothing of substance.

What a load of crap! It's just a temporary suspension of business.

"Have you found Zhan Shen yet?" Old Du asked.

"Found him. This idiot was so obsessed with Bai Meigui's beauty that he gave away his gun. As a result, Bai Meigui was showing off the gun to Zhang Deqing."

"Zhang Deqing betrayed this kid in order to curry favor with Li Shiqun."

"I was arrested around 3 p.m. and locked up in my interrogation room."

Wang Xuesen fastened his shirt cuffs and said unhurriedly.

"oops!"

Old Du slapped his thigh in anguish.

"Lust can cloud judgment!"

"Boss Dai kept urging him to return and be rewarded, but he was instead indulging in a life of pleasure and even handed over a pistol, which was as dangerous as his life, to someone..." "A female hooligan."

"I'm so angry!"

Old Du paced back and forth, wanting to curse and hit someone.

"Can you stop shaking me? My eyes are getting blurry," Wang Xuesen said irritably, leaning back in his chair.

"Can he be saved?" Du Song asked anxiously.

"That depends on whether Boss Dai wants to save him or not," Wang Xuesen said, raising his eyebrows.

Du Song nodded: "That's for sure. Zhan Shen didn't betray us; he still has extremely high value to the boss."

"I'll send a telegram to the boss later."

"I reckon the boss will do everything he can to rescue him, after all, this kid's father is a high-ranking official in the puppet government of Sichuan Province, and he has some value in united front work."

"Judging from your expression, it seems there's hope for rescue?"

Having worked with Xuesen for a long time, Lao Du knew the kid's unpredictable abilities well. With just a glance, a smile would immediately appear on his face.

"I can only say... there's a glimmer of hope."

"Li Shiqun wants to take down Zhang Deqing, and he needs Zhan Shen's false testimony."

"As long as the money is right, this kid will cooperate with me."

"Of course, torture is unavoidable."

"I need to test his character first. If he's unreliable and a spineless coward, then it's not just about the money."

Let's take it one step at a time.

"Don't say anything, just get the money ready!"

Wang Xuesen was unfamiliar with Zhan Shen. While making money and saving people were important, he had to ensure his own safety first.

"How much do you want?" Du Song asked.

"150,000, I guess."

"Ye Jiqing isn't like Shibuya, who can be easily appeased with a few tens of thousands of yen. He won't work unless you're really serious about it!"

"Besides, Zhan Shen's father is a high-ranking official in Sichuan Province. He should be able to afford a house on Xiafei Road, right?"

Ye Jiqing hadn't really seen much of the world, while Wang Xuesen simply wanted to make more money for himself.

"Okay, I'll contact the boss by telegram later."

"I forgot to mention, Mao Sen has returned to Shancheng safely. The boss and Director Mao are very happy. We'll remember this credit for you."

"At this rate, if you're going to drive the Japanese away, you'll need to be at least a lieutenant colonel."

Old Du chuckled.

"Hmm, I hope so," Wang Xuesen said with a slight smirk.

There's no way you can believe Boss Dai's little notebook of achievements.

"By the way, I remember you seem to have some kind of connection with the red ticket, right?" Wang Xuesen suddenly asked.

"We had contact with the Eighth Route Army's Shanghai office before."

"On the 7th of last month, the office was closed and relocated. In addition, the New Fourth Army, Shaanxi and the Nationalist government have been frequently clashing and fighting recently. As instructed by the bureau, intelligence cooperation was canceled, and now we have basically lost contact."

"Is there something you need?"

Old Du said very calmly.

"Mao Liying, the head of the Working Women's Club, was arrested a few days ago."

"This woman secretly raised supplies for the New Fourth Army through benefit performances."

"The medicines were seized by Su Chengde at their transit station in Jinling. Someone betrayed them and implicated her," Wang Xuesen said.

"Where is she?" Old Du asked.

"Li Shiqun told me to release him."

"Mao Liying has relationships with many wives of high-ranking Japanese officials, and Li Shiqun is afraid that if he finds out, it will cause trouble."

"However, he is already planning an assassination of Ms. Mao."

"If it's too difficult to deal with them openly, they resort to covert tactics; this is a consistent trick of No. 76."

"If you have any connections, get someone over there to persuade her to leave as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, my life will be in danger."

"The French Concession is only putting on a show of bravado; in reality, they have already reached an agreement with the Japanese in private."

After Wang Xuesen finished speaking, he got up, took the medicine that Lao Du had prepared, and prepared to leave.

"You sympathize with her?" Du Song's tone was as stern as an old father's.

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you say that any information about counterfeit tickets must be reported?"

"Damn it, you're not planning to turn the tables and complain to Boss Dai about me, are you?"

"Perfect timing, the red ticket office has been shut down, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Wang Xuesen jokingly cursed.

"As long as it's not pity."

"The situation is very delicate right now. It's fine for the three of us to say whatever we want, but we must be careful about our stance when dealing with outsiders."

"However, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle!"

"We still need information regarding the red tickets."

Old Du once again revealed his petty, bourgeois nature.

"I'm leaving." Wang Xuesen waved his hand, picked up his medicine bag, and walked out.

"Whoa!"

Du Song let out a sigh of mixed feelings, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the cold sweat from his neck.

After a moment, he shook his head, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and called out to the outside:

"Liu Zi, watch the shop, I'm going to the warehouse to take inventory."

……

Wang Xuesen was not in a hurry to go home.

Instead, they went to Li Lu's newly purchased house and enjoyed a wet and wild experience, as well as Li Lu's wonderfully beautiful voice.

However, this time he was smarter and only went home after taking a shower.

After all, it's hard to believe that a grown man would say he wet his pants.

back home.

I chatted with Wanjia for a while.

10 PM.

Wang Xuesen drove back to No. 76 and lay down on the sofa in his office for a while.

……

2:30 a.m.

The interrogation room was dimly lit.

The pungent smell of blood emanating from the brightly lit, revelrous White Rose, coupled with the thought of the countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts that had once graced the chair beneath her, sent chills down her spine.

Clang!

Ma Laosan and his men pushed open the iron gate and came in.

The chilling killing intent and cold aura emanating from him terrified White Rose.

These people are all seasoned torturers.

He came in without saying a word.

Sprinkle salt into the bucket and whip it.

Heat the stove to heat the soldering iron.

Cut bamboo sticks.

The various creaking and groaning sounds made White Rose feel as if she were in hell, and her soul trembled with fear.

"What exactly do you want?"

"I want to see Director Wang."

"Brothers, you all know I slept with him, right?"

White Rose panicked and began to plead.

Ma Laosan and the others didn't even glance at her, continuing to go about their own business.

"I'm good friends with Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Wu. Please, could you please call someone for me?" White Rose shouted at the top of her lungs.

"so."

"If you help me call them here, after I leave, I... I can sleep with you."

"I guarantee I'll keep you all comfortable."

"Can I give you money?"

"Well, bro!"

The white rose has no shame whatsoever.

Her intuition told her that if she stayed in this godforsaken place any longer, she would die.

"Hmm, selling the top dancer at such a low price, isn't that a loss?" Wang Xuesen walked in with his hands in his pockets, exuding an air of elegance.

"Xuesen, you've finally arrived."

"Please let me go, this place is too scary, I don't want to stay here for another second."

"What does Zhan Shen's murder have to do with me?"

"Let me go!"

When she saw Wang Xuesen, she started to act coquettishly.

"Honey, let's not be naive, okay?"

"First of all, you harbored an assassin."

"Secondly, according to Director Hu and his team's investigation and discussion, Zhan Shen was sent by you to assassinate Ji Yunqing."

Wang Xuesen walked up to her, bent down, and gently stroked her pretty face.

"I have no grudges or grievances with that man surnamed Ji."

"Am I crazy? Why would I hire someone to assassinate him for no reason?"

"Xuesen, don't listen to that Hu guy's nonsense. He can't solve the case, so he's just framing me."

White Rose cried out.

"That's what I think too."

"But Director Hu said that you were Zhang Deqing's goddaughter and bed partner. At that time, everyone knew about the conflict between Zhang Deqing and Ji Lao."

"Then it's entirely possible that he used you to incite Zhan Shen to assassinate Ji Yunqing."

Wang Xuesen lit a cigarette and walked around her, saying as he went.

"That's fucking ridiculous!"

"Don't let me out, or I'll tear his mouth apart!" White Rose was furious, stomping her high heels on the ground.

"Xuesen, this is a frame-up! It's all a frame-up!"

"You and I have"

"Xuesen, this is a frame-up! It's all a frame-up!"

"You and I have" "For the sake of the time I served you, you have to speak up for me!"

Coming to her senses, White Rose pleaded with a mournful face.

"I've always been a person who cherishes and pities women."

"The problem now is that Director Hu's investigation report has already been submitted to Director Li."

"Director Li signed off on the direction of the investigation."

"You know, I'm only responsible for interrogation, not for actual investigation."

"If you don't explain things clearly, I'll be in a difficult position."

Wang Xuesen shrugged helplessly.
