Chapter 1603 - Nothing to Do with It at All

He Zhichu stood in the interrogation room. His tall figure blocked the light, and the ground in front of him fell into darkness.

Liang Meili looked at He Zhichu in fear, her teeth chattering.

He Zhichu pointed at Wen Dayou and Liang Meili who were lying motionless on the ground, with a cold face, he said, “I’ll give you five minutes to think whether you want to tell or not. Don’t be so shameless!”

He pulled open the door of the interrogation room, walked out and slammed the door shut.

Standing at the door, he lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and slowly exhaled.

In the interrogation room, Wen Dayou and Liang Meili were stunned for a while before they helped each other to get up from the ground.

Liang Meili covered her face and sobbed as she said, “Why is Young Master He behaving in this manner? We watched him grow up. He has never hit anyone before...”

“He has never hit us servants,” Wen Dayou corrected her with a bitter face. “But he is a soldier, and he carries a gun. How kind do you think he can be?”

This tall and noble young master had always been very polite to the servants. He had never scolded them loudly, and when he spoke, he would always say “please” and “thank you”.

They respected him, but they were not afraid of him. They knew that he kept a distance from them but he was polite to them. Moreover, he was especially considerate of the difficulties of the servants

“You are really too daring to say such thing.” Wen Dayou wiped his face. “Don’t you see when Young Master He could actually shoot us with a gun for what we have done?”

“But... but he is different to our Shouyi!” Liang Meili said stubbornly, “If the children of the He family’s servants are successful, the He family will give money to them and let them continue to study. Our Shouyi is so amazing. She is an outstanding graduate of a famous American university. Not to mention the children of the He family’s servants, even the relatives and friends of the He family, no one studied better than our Shouyi.”

“So what if she is good at study? Blame it on us if you want to blame someone. We’re useless. People nowadays depend on their father but we are holding Shouyi back!” Wen Dayou was upset. The more he looked at this woman, the more foolish she became. She couldn’t even act sensibly.

“How are we holding Shouyi back?” Liang Meili righteously argued with Wen Dayou, “In the past, Madam He was even an orphan in an orphanage. She didn’t have any background. It was because she was especially good at her study and had a promising future that General He took a fancy to her. He even abandoned a capable person like Dean Qin and insisted on marrying Madam He.”

“If an orphan is good at study and can be married into the He family. Our Shouyi has parents and is also good at study. Why can’t she marry Young Master He?!”

“Moreover, it’s not that Young Master He doesn’t have feelings for our Shouyi. Our Shouyi has been with Young Master He for four to five years and has always been abroad. When a man and a woman are together, I don’t believe that Young Master He has never slept with Shouyi!”

The more Liang Meili spoke, the more she felt that she was right. She placed one hand on her waist, with the other hand, she pointed at Wen Dayou and cursed, “You still despise me?! Who do you think you are?! You’re useless, you made Shouyi and I suffer living in poverty! Why don’t you just find a rock and knock yourself to death!”

The husband and wife started arguing in the interrogation room.

Their voices were so loud that even He Zhichu, who was standing at the door and smoking, could hear them clearly.

Seeing this ignorant woman make comparison using his own mother and even accuse him of having slept with Wen Shouyi, it was really intolerable.

He Zhichu took a deep puff of his cigarette and called his orderly to bring a whip over. He ordered coldly,”... come in with me.”

He pushed open the door of the interrogation room and kicked the chair that he had kicked over. He sat down and pointed at Liang Meili with a cigarette in his hand. “This woman, hit her hard! hit her until she can speak human language!”

Liang Meili had the potential of a shrew in her bones. She knew that she could not escape death for what she had done. She only hoped that she could pave the way for her daughter before she died, so she might as well throw caution to the wind. She shouted loudly, “Young Master He, you can’t win against me, so you’re going to make a move? You played with my daughter, and now you’re not going to admit it? I’m going to report you! I’m going to sue you for lynching! I’m going to...”

With a crisp whip sound, He Zhichu did not wait for the orderly to raise the whip. He directly pulled out the armed belt on his waist, and with a backhand, he lashed out with the belt.

This belt happened to hit Liang Meili’s left cheek. It was so strong that her jaw was crooked.

She could not speak anymore. The moment she moved her mouth, her jaw would hurt.

The orderly came over with the whip. When he heard the woman’s words, he spat and said angrily, “Young Master He, you rest for a while. Let me do it!”

The only way to deal with a shrew was to be more ruthless, and more vicious than her.

After a few whips, Liang Meili felt what was called a heart-wrenching pain.

She let out a scream, which was very horrifying in the night sky.

He Zhichu stood at the side and smoked. Without looking at her, he pointed, “Shut her mouth.”

Another orderly stepped forward and stuffed a rag into Liang Meili’s mouth.

Liang Meili could not scream anymore. All the pain had accumulated in her bones and in her heart. Her facial features were twisted, and she was ten times uglier than usual.

Wen Dayou hugged his head and hid in the corner. He did not say a word, he was afraid that the whip would hit him.

After ten minutes of whipping, Liang Meili was panting like a cow. Her face and body were covered with four red and swollen whip marks. She was beyond recognition.

He Zhichu raised his hand.

His orderly immediately stopped and stood to the side with the whip in his hand.

He Zhichu stopped asking Liang Meili. Instead, he walked over to Wen Dayou’s side and kicked him. He said in a flat voice, “Tell me, who ordered you to do this?”

Wen Dayou trembled in fear. He slowly raised his head and looked at Liang Meili who had been beaten to such a state. He closed his eyes and sighed, he said, “It’s no use even if you beat us to death. We actually don’t know who it was. That person gave us money and asked us to do something. After it was done, Gu Nianzhi’s position was Shouyi’s. We were confused for the sake of Shouyi.”

“Young Master He, this has nothing to do with Shouyi. She has no idea what’s going on.”

He Zhichu raised an eyebrow. “No idea? Ha, do you think I believe you?”

He turned around and left the interrogation room, leaving only two words: “Torture.”.

...

After leaving Wen Dayou and Liang Meili’s interrogation room, He Zhichu went to the cell where the killers were being held.

“How is it? Are they awake?” He Zhichu stood in front of the iron railing, observing the movements inside.

“Young Master He, they are not awake yet.” His medical officer was very confused. “I have already injected them to relieve them from anesthetic, but they are still not awake.”

He Zhichu’s brows furrowed. “Open the door, I’ll go in and take a look.”

“Young Master He, let me do it.” The medical officer thought for a moment and was thinking that he shouldn’t let the chief general take such risk.

“They are in my territory, why should I be afraid of them?” He Zhichu glanced at the medical officer. “Open the door!”

The medical officer opened the iron bars of the cell with a bitter face.

He Zhichu strode in.

There were five people lying on the floor of the cell. Four of them were the spies in the observation car, and the other one was an assassin who had been knocked unconscious by him with a tranquilizer gun when he was in Wen Dayou and Liang Meili’s detention room.

He put his hands behind his back and looked at them one by one. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem right.

In the end, he half-squatted down in front of the assassin and tried it with his hand in front of his nose.

“They’re not breathing anymore.” He Zhichu slowly stood up and looked at the medical officer coldly. “Are you sure that they were injected with an anesthetic?!”

“Young Master He, if I used other drugs, I will accept military punishment!” The medical officer saluted without hesitation. He was not afraid of He Zhichu’s gaze at all.

“Then what has happened to them?!” He Zhichu pulled the medical officer over, his cold face like a layer of frost. “Look for yourself!”

He Zhichu let go, and the medical officer rushed over to check on the five motionless people.

The more he checked, the paler his face became. In the end, he sat on the ground like a dead man, with a sobbing tone, he said, “They’re dead... they’re all dead... but... but... just now, they were still unconscious?! I clearly checked! I still have the inspection records to prove it!”

He Zhichu was also very upset. It was not easy for him to take advantage of the other party’s lack of attention and set up a trap to invite them into the trap. In the end, these bastards who were caught died right under their noses!

How did the other party do it?

He Zhichu took out a cigarette, covered it with his mouth, and lit it with a lighter. He took a long puff.

“Get the forensic doctor to come and conduct an autopsy.” He Zhichu walked to the side. “I’ll send someone to observe.”

Soon, the senior medical examiner from the Army rushed over overnight and performed a detailed autopsy on the five people.

The autopsy results came out when dawn broke the next day.

“Young Master He, these people were indeed only shot with a tranquilizer gun. The drug that was injected later was also a special drug to relieve the anesthesia. There was no other poison in their blood.”

“Then how did they die?” He zhichu raised his eyelids and asked expressionlessly, “Don’t tell me they committed suicide.”

The forensic officer looked at the medical officer awkwardly. The two of them looked at He Zhichu and said, “They were killed by remote control.”

He Zhichu: “...”

The forensic officer quickly showed the results of their tests to He Zhichu.

“Young Master He, please take a look. This is their brain. There was a small explosion inside, causing the brain stem to die.”

“The reason is that someone implanted a chip into their brain. This chip is similar to the chip that we are developing for robot soldiers.”

He Zhichu’s eyes flashed.”... Similar? How similar?”

“It can be said that the chip implanted in their brains is only the prototype of the chip we are researching. However, the chip we are researching is not for human use. Even if their chip is only the prototype, it would not be a problem for it to be implanted into a human brain as a small time bomb.”

This could be said to be a different type of human body bomb...

He Zhichu listened to the forensic medical center and the medical officer explaining the chip in the brains of these people with a sullen face. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said, “Immediately sign an order from the military to arrest Qin Yaoguang and all her experimental personnel, and lock down Qin Yaoguang’s laboratory!”
