Contract Marriage: Emperor CEO's Secretary Wife Chapter 236 - Lee In and Wan Wan

Chapter 236 - Lee In and Wan Wan

On the other hand, Yu Shi Huang is having an internal struggle. She is a soldier, but she is also the mother of the person that woman kidnapped. Yet, the oath she took as a soldier is stopping her from doing unforgivable acts to this woman.
What should she do?
Considering that they are in the underground city…
Her gaze landed on the people at the opposite side of the room when an idea clicked in her head.
Yeah, it's not like she caught Ying Wan Wan alone. They are in the underground city and this is the territory of her son-in-law's people.
...so let's just say that she doesn't have the right to interrogate people here.
Mm. That's it. Yes. That reason should be alright.
She just needs to watch over here while they're doing the interrogation instead of doing it herself.
As they say, when in Rome, do what the Romans do.
Yu Shi Huang convinced herself.
"You can do the usual." She briefly spoke. Si Tu Yi and Ming Xuan heard her words and a sinister smile appeared on their faces.
Nodding at her, the two left the room to go to the opposite side of the window. After casually sitting on the sofa, she watched the two do their own style of interrogation for the entire time.
Wan Wan's body was already sprawled onto the floor with traces of blood and wounds across her whole body. Her clothes almost like a rag full of dirt and blood.
Ming Xuan heedlessly grabbed her collar and made her sit on the chair again. Si Tu Yi did most of the interrogation, along with his handy tools of dagger, and needles. Considering that this was just an average weak woman, he already held 90% of his strength so that she wouldn't die so easily.
"Even if k-kill me… you will never…." Si Tu Yi stabbed her with a needle that accurately makes her whole body wring with pain.
Wan Wan fell to the ground again while she g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain but Ming Xuan dragged her back to the chair again.
"Lee In. You're working with him." Ming Xuan tapped on the three photos again in front of her.
Another stab.
Wan Wan almost bent over with pain when Si Tu Yi shoved the photo on her face.
"If you think that we'll kill you, stop dreaming. Killing people may be our profession but…" Si Tu Yi slid the blunt side of the dagger along Wan Wan's face.
"...tormenting people is our most favorite pastime."
Wan Wan's gaze trembled slightly when she felt the tip of the dagger dig into her cheek.
"So even if you don't open your mouth, you need to stop dreaming that we'll kill you afterward." Si Tu Yi laid down his dagger and picked up another long needle.
"Perfect. Our crocodile pets are missing a playmate. They don't eat people but they do love to bite here and there." Ming Xuan added who was leaning on the wall.
"So why we're still being nice, why don't you share with us if you're working with Lee In." Si Tu Yi placed the photo in front of Wan Wan again.
She coldly looked at the photo.
"Of course I did. How did you think I was able to abduct that witch?"
Si Tu Yi didn't let his expression slip and continued.
"Pei Ji Huang and Yu Ming Xi."
"A dead man. What does he have to do with me?"
"Yu Ming Xi brought you here."
"Of course, he has a debt to pay. Did you really think I'll succ.u.mb to that kind of stupid person?"
Wan Wan may have looked like she wasn't leaking anything valuable other than the questions she was answering. But Si Tu Yi and Ming Xuan thought differently.
Especially after they continued their interrogation, after a couple of needles and slashes on her skin, they finally concluded her questioning.
"She's pretty stupid. As expected of that kind of woman. To think that someone really dared to use her as a pawn. Truly an idiotic move." Si Tu Yi commented as soon as they returned to the opposite room with Yu Shi Huang in it.
"She said he was working with Lee In." Ming Xuan uttered, handing the photo to the soldier.
This wasn't Lee In. It was an image of a stranger who just has a gash on his face. She immediately identified that this wasn't Lee In on the photo.
"She knew the name of the person, but she never met him." Yu Shi Huang deducted from Wan Wan's statement and with this image.
"If she hasn't met the people she worked with before, the possibility that Lee In, Wan Wan, and Yu Ming Xi are meeting with their boss is less likely."
"At least we can infer that the person behind the scenes prevents his subordinates from creating a pack. Is it to prevent them from working together in stabbing him in the back? Or is there a different reason?"
"What about her other answers? Yu Ming Xi owing someone?"
"That should be a drug deal he sneaked in abroad. He was almost caught before but someone interfered. Maybe it was that person?"
"But nothing turned up in our investigation aside from what we already know. That f.u.c.k.i.n.g person is too good at hiding his tracks, we can barely find some crumbs to investigate."
"But we did figure out something interesting. The data leak at Lu Corporation, she admitted she was the one working with Yu Ming Xi."
"And what's interesting in that?"
"Remember when Lu Shao said that it was one of the director's mistress who did it. The designer was it? Anyways, that's not important. Why did Yu Ming Xi need Wan Wan's cooperation for a simple data leak news? Yu Ming Xi can control the press with his status alone, but he needed her. Why?"
"...If it's not the press, then it must the related to the data leak. If the data didn't come from the director's woman then it could only mean it came from her."
