Chapter 231 Suicide by Biting Off One's Tongue
Ye Shaohong's words were extremely malicious.
The moment the words were spoken, Jin'er on the rack immediately began to struggle violently.
"You bastard, you beast!"
"Are you even human? My young lady is already dead, and you still want to treat her like this?"
"I curse you! May you die a horrible death!"
Amidst her frantic roar, a trickle of crimson blood flowed from the corner of Jin'er's mouth. Her teeth were stained with blood, and coupled with her crazed and ferocious face, she resembled a mad demon.
Although Ye Shaohong saw and heard it, he showed no sign of surprise. He simply gave a cold laugh.
"Am I a bastard, an animal?"
"Your young lady led a group of people to my doorstep, attempting to kill my woman. Is it wrong for me to defend myself?"
“The enmity between us is already established. How I dispose of her body is my own business. Even if you curse me, it will have no effect.”
This was a verbal duel where the distinction between justice and evil had blurred; both men were trying to achieve their goals in their own ways.
It all comes down to who will be defeated first.
Unfortunately, Ye Shaohong had the upper hand. Through his brief observation, he had already confirmed one thing.
That was the woman before him, who was very loyal to the mysterious woman who died in his house.
He could be considered a loyal servant. Therefore, his threats were quite effective.
"you……."
Jin'er's expression froze. She was also someone who had struggled on the edge of life and death for many years, so she knew very well how crazy people in their industry could be once they became ruthless.
Therefore, she had no doubt about Ye Shaohong's words.
As she recalled her mistress's figure and the years they had spent together, Jin'er's crazed hatred gradually faded away.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she sighed softly.
"it is good!"
"I'll tell you who that person is."
"But you must also promise to give my young lady a proper burial. If you dare to lie to me, even if I die, I will become a vengeful ghost and come after you." It must be said that people in this era are indeed very interesting; even when they are about to die, they are willing to believe in ghosts and gods.
They are even willing to treat this concept as their trump card.
Ye Shaohong was a materialist and did not believe in these claims, but he was unwilling to explain them to Jin'er.
He simply nodded slightly.
"Tell me, who is that person!"
"As long as you give me a satisfactory answer, I will send someone to bury her."
Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's promise, Jin'er did not immediately respond. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and stared intently at Ye Shaohong's face.
It was as if she was confirming whether Ye Shaohong was lying.
Jin'er was disappointed.
Ye Shaohong's face was indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever. When he smoked, the rising smoke obscured his eyes.
She also had no training in micro-expression observation skills.
In the end, all they could do was pin their hopes on Ye Shaohong's empty promises.
"He is Wu Pei, the deputy captain of the Third Special Operations Team!"
The moment those few simple words were uttered, Jin'er simultaneously lost all her strength; it was as if all her energy and spirit had been drained away.
"Wu Pei?"
"It's actually him!"
Ye Shaohong had actually met Wu Pei a few times; he could be considered a confidant of Li Peilin, the director of the Third Division.
He was still a good friend of Murong Han, who had been assassinated at home by his concubine some time ago.
Thinking about this, another question in Ye Shaohong's mind was also answered.
He never figured out how the spy from the Party Affairs Investigation Department became Murong Han's concubine, and there was likely trace of Wu Pei behind it.
"Are brothers meant to stab each other in the back?"
Ye Shaohong shook his head. Now that he had obtained the identity of the traitor from Jin'er, Ye Shaohong was naturally unwilling to let him go so easily.
He flicked his finger, tossing away the cigarette butt that had burned out, and then asked his last question.
"Where's the evidence?"
"I can't just send people to arrest my high-ranking officials because of something you said casually."
Indeed, Wu Pei was a high-ranking official in the Special Service.
Although this special operations team was only called a "team," within the Special Operations Department, they were still of the same rank. In terms of position and military rank, Wu Pei was one level higher than Ye Shaohong.
Without solid evidence, he couldn't take any action based solely on the woman's words.
"evidence?"
"What evidence? When we contacted him and exchanged information, it was always a cash transaction, and there were no outsiders watching. Where do you expect me to find evidence for you?"
Jin'er raised her head, glanced at Ye Shaohong, and gave a cold reply.
"If it were someone else, I would definitely believe you if you said that."
"But you are different."
"The young lady you mentioned, although she acts somewhat eccentrically, is meticulous in her planning and has a series of backup plans. I don't believe you don't have evidence of Wu Pei's crimes."
“Tell me everything you know, and I will not only arrange for the burial of the lady you speak of, but also bury you next to her after you die.”
"This completes the bond between you, master and servant!"
At this point, continuing to confront each other was pointless, so Ye Shaohong turned to playing the sentimental card.
really.
Upon hearing his words, the woman named Jin'er's expression shifted slightly, as if she were tempted.
Then she laughed.
"Impressive! No wonder you can go toe-to-toe with my young lady!"
"You can guess that."
“That’s right, I have evidence of Wu Pei’s crimes, and I can tell you that. I just hope you can keep your promise…”
After saying that, Jin'er stopped trying to outsmart Ye Shaohong. Without hesitation, she told him everything she knew, including the secret plans that she and her servant had left behind.
When Jin'er finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed across Ye Shaohong's face.
Then he nodded again.
"You guys are actually pretty amazing too."
"The fact that Wu Pei agreed to cooperate with you means he's courting death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shaohong stood up, took a step, and walked out of the dark and damp interrogation room.
The moment Ye Shaohong pushed open the door, Jin'er on the rack smiled, as if receiving praise from her enemy Ye Shaohong before her death had fulfilled her last wish.
"Miss, don't rush off, wait for me."
"I've come to keep you company."
As the murmured words rang out, Jin'er suddenly raised her head. She first opened her mouth wide, then bit down hard, actually biting off her own tongue.
As blood trickled down her chin, her body trembled violently.
After a brief struggle, the woman named Jin'er died in the interrogation room...
