Light Fortress Chapter 156 - 156 144 Special Operations Group

156: Chapter 144: Special Operations Group 156: Chapter 144: Special Operations Group “Chen i, you have the right to remain silent…”

The interrogation room.

Chen i looked at the old man in front of him, having braced himself for staying quiet; however, surprisingly, Zhou Jiren did not follow protocol by announcing the constitutional rights to the person being interrogated.

“If you choose to be silent, then I will remain silent as well.”

Zhou Jiren pulled up a chair and sat across from Chen i, glancing at the young man’s handcuffed hands with curly hair.

The wrists, seemingly delicate and lean, were tightly shackled by rattan cuffs, bearing several overlapping scars from attempts to break free.

“Unrealistic thoughts are better abandoned sooner rather than later.”

Hearing this, Chen i could hardly contain himself anymore.

His expression darkened as he suddenly stood up, but in reality, he didn’t budge an inch; a sharp pain cinched at his waist after he jerked forcefully, also tightly bound by a vine…

This vine, seeming old and easily breakable, had co from nowhere and was much more sturdy than any alloy!

There was no breaking free.

“Let go!”

He whispered lowly, “The Judgent Institute only has the right to enforce the law, not to detain and interrogate.

Either you kill or…

you transfer to the prison.”

“Sorry, but everything I do complies with the laws of East Continent.

Because once the Special Action Team is established, it can enjoy the exclusive privileges of inter-authority communication prior to special events,” Zhou Jiren said indifferently.

“This answer should be considered a generous act of kindheartedness, a free gift.

Next…

if you want to know sothing from , you’ll need to exchange it for corresponding information.”

The Special Action Team?

Chen i suddenly fell silent.

The old fox in front of him apparently knew that re stubbornness was pointless and wanted to engage in an “information exchange” with him.

And him…

He didn’t want to know anything, nor did he want to say anything.

Zhou Jiren was not in a hurry either, just waiting…

for ti to pass.

Until the door opened.

The place responsible for detention and interrogation wasn’t very big, sowhat bleak.

When the door opened, light flooded in.

Chen i furrowed his brows; he saw a familiar figure.

…

…

“Teacher…

I’m here.”

Gu Shen had received a sudden notification that Mr.

Shu needed his accompanint to interrogate Chen i.

When he arrived, seeing the uncannily familiar interrogation settings, he suddenly found it a bit amusing.

Indeed…

How things have changed.

He once again sat at the interrogation table, only this ti, he was no longer the one being interrogated.

When Chen i saw Gu Shen, his eyes suddenly changed; his previously lethargic eyes sharpened like swords in an instant, wishing he could rise imdiately, yet regrettably, he was firmly suppressed and bound by the rattan.

All of this was caused by the young man in front of him…

South Bay Building’s power outage, his pursuit of a suspect, and now it seed very likely a trap set by the Judgent Institute.

And in that mont of loss of composure, Chen i realized, he had fallen into the Old Fox’s trap.

He was not, after all, indifferent to everything…

at least he wanted to know the truth about it all.

“Stay cool, stay cool.”

Gu Shen, in a carefree manner, took a seat, greeting Chen i as if he were an old friend.

Just twelve hours earlier, their roles were that of hunter and prey, cat and mouse, but now, everything had been reversed.

Now, looking at Chen i’s face clouded with shadow and anger, Gu Shen was far from nervous.

Even…

felt like laughing.

He couldn’t help but shift his sitting position.

It had to be said that the other side of the interrogation table was really comfortable.

“When does the interrogation start?” Gu Shen asked.

“It has already begun…

Chen i is willing to say nothing.”

Zhou Jiren still had that patient deanor, looking at the clock, “However, not everyone is here yet.

We have plenty of ti.”

Not everyone is here yet?

Gu Shen was startled, but in the next mont, the door to the interrogation room was opened again, and a figure in a red trench coat with long hair appeared in the corner of his eye.

The newcor sat down and with a voice that was cold and carried a hint of apology, “Sorry, I was delayed by so matters.”

The apologetic tone stopped abruptly—

Lu Nanjin was looking at Gu Shen, and Gu Shen was also looking at Lu Nanjin.

The expressions on their faces were odd, it was obvious that before this encounter, neither had any idea…

that the other would be here.

“Senior sister?” Gu Shen was a bit stunned.

Shouldn’t the senior sister be all over the world carrying out missions at this ti?

Especially after knowing the secrets of the Lu family’s Lion Alley, Gu Shen initially thought…

the senior sister might not return to Da Du for a long ti.

Zhou Jiren raised his hand with a smile, and in an instant, vines erupted from the ground, enveloping Chen i amid his muffled grunts of angry resistance, instantly turning him into a human-shaped stake, cutting off any sound from the outside world from reaching Chen i’s ears.

“All right.

Everyone’s finally here.”

He smiled contentedly, “Now, I will explain…

the specific situation to you two.”

“You’ve both been inford about the consolidation of the Zhou Yu case files…

This matter has attracted wide attention from the higher-ups, and after an ergency eting, the council decided to establish a ‘Special Action Team’ in Da Du, with Deep Sea responsible for providing personnel support and planning advice when the ti cos for action.

However, the selection of core team mbers was left to to decide.”

“So…

I chose three people.”

“The digging deeper into the Zhou Yu case files, combined with the ‘Compass’ that Gu Shen obtained, has pretty much confird that there is a dangerous character lurking in the darkness of Da Du, attempting to create upheaval and destroy order.”

“We call him ‘Xiao’.”

“And the plan carried out by this Special Action Team is also nad ‘Hunter Operation’.”

The old man’s expression grew serious, “The danger rating of this case file is temporarily set at ‘S’.

If mishandled, it could very likely put an entire city in crisis.

The selection of core team mbers is extrely important.

It’s not because you are my proud disciples that I included you in the core mbers of the Special Action Team.

In my plan, each of you three will play a significant role.

For the Hunter Operation to succeed, the three of you are indispensable.”

“Hold on.”

“Three…

Who’s the third one?”

Nan Jin frowned.

But Zhou Jiren simply cast his gaze slowly toward the human-shaped stake.

Gu Shen was sowhat astonished, “You an…

Chen i?”

“Exactly.”

“Think about it, if I had tried to arrest Chen i by force, how could Chen San, as a congressman of East Continent, agree easily?” Zhou Jiren said indifferently, “At the very least…

he wouldn’t just turn around and walk away.”

That’s right.

Chen San’s reaction that night, was extrely abnormal indeed.

He had a conversation within Mr.

Shu’s domain, then agreed to let the other party take away his son.

Now, Gu Shen sowhat understood.

“However, this interrogation is real.

To ensure his joining our team, such an interrogation is necessary,” Zhou Jiren said in a low voice.

“Chen i’s files have already been taken out by .

You two take a look first.”

Gu Shen and Nan Jin exchanged glances.

They took over the files and began to flip through them.
