"Why couldn’t it be that the Telekinesis Master was bribed by me? Or perhaps, because you delayed the final payment, he’s stringing you along, Mr. Yang?"
The soldier’s words were not baseless; he was using traditional rhetoric to extract information from Yang Bingzhong.
Yang Bingzhong indeed revealed the doubts he had during the psychological review.
This seemed like just a small detail, but it was extremely fatal.
However, Ren Zhong’s remedy came even quicker.
While patching up for himself, Ren Zhong didn’t forget to twist the knife for the final blow.
The next events were beyond Ren Zhong’s knowledge.
He was "invited" out of the interrogation room by the soldiers again.
Nearly half an hour later, Yang Bingzhong was carried out of the interrogation room by two soldiers, one on each side.
He looked ashen, his eyes devoid of life yet filled with bloodshot lines, almost like a walking corpse, his body limp, lacking the strength even to lift a hand.
As if sensing Ren Zhong’s focused gaze, Yang Bingzhong struggled to turn his face in this direction.
During this process, the soldiers holding him did not stop their steps.
As the angle shifted, Yang Bingzhong’s head moved continuously, his gaze locked on Ren Zhong.
He trembled his lips, seemingly wanting to say something.
But ultimately, he did not speak.
It no longer mattered.
The Special Forces leader approached Ren Zhong and gestured.
Ren Zhong nodded and quickly entered the interrogation room.
He didn’t need to think to know what content Yang Bingzhong was interrogated about earlier.
As long as they asked, he would undoubtedly have spilled every detail of the past over the last ten-plus years like beans pouring out of a bag.
But with the character of the Nine Major Groups, Ren Zhong figured the Telekinesis Master might not care too much about the details; the focus was likely on retrieving the Alien Ore.
Ma Dafu had clearly described the possible fate one might face for smuggling Alien Ores once exposed.
If he could submit the Alien Ore, or explain its whereabouts, Yang Bingzhong would certainly have a chance to survive,
Unfortunately, he was unable to.
He was clueless about where the Alien Ore had gone.
If Yang Bingzhong could return the illicit gains or exhaust his resources to make up for the losses, he might at least save his life, and with the intervention of his backers, he might even retain his status as a First Level Citizen.
Regrettably, he couldn’t do that either.
Thus, he must die, die immediately.
In the interrogation room.
Ren Zhong sat upright, "blankly" staring at the woman whose face was shrouded in a white hood.
Woman: "Do you harbor sympathy for the wastelanders?"
"What was your first thought when you saw the pit full of relics from the wastelanders created by Yang Bingzhong?"
"What was your second thought?"
"What was your third thought? Do you want to create a better life for the wastelanders of Starfire Town?"
"To let the wastelanders of Starfire Town live like those in Chromium Carbon Town, thereby creating more profit for me."
"Why did you report the Alien Ore?"
"To replace Yang Bingzhong."
"How did you learn about the existence of the Alien Ore?"
"The parents of one of my team members were once professional team leaders under Yang Bingzhong, later exterminated by him, leaving only my team member who narrowly survived. Through this incident, I started to suspect Yang Bingzhong. I then received information from a Demolition Master in another team under Yang Bingzhong, and through secret investigation, I discovered the Alien Ore."
"Where is your birthplace?"
"The underground wasteland tribe of Qi Mountain."
"Why did you often turn off the wrist watch?"
"I was worried that Yang Bingzhong could learn of my plans through the wrist watch."
"Do you know the whereabouts of the Alien Ore?"
"Did you participate in the theft of the Alien Ore?"
"Where does your stock trading ability come from?"
"What are your plans next?"
"Currently, I hold three percent of the shares in the Resource Company, making me the second-largest shareholder. I plan to use my shareholder status to obtain priority purchasing rights for Starfire Resources shares, then rely on stock trading to earn enough profit to complete the acquisition. Besides maintaining the company’s operations in Chromium Carbon Town, I will also return to Starfire Town to establish new Starfire Resources. I will simultaneously control the Ruined Beast hunting markets of the two towns. The mineral resources around Starfire Town have not been fully developed, and the resources in Bone Valley are largely idle, making it a great place to get rich. I will use this as a foundation to start the blueprint of my business empire."
"But currently, Starfire Resources has no hope of passing the Pu Cha."
"I have absolute confidence in my abilities. I believe I can change the status quo."
