The tightly closed door swung open, and Chapman walked in.
He approached the two of them, looking down at their disheveled state, and said calmly, “You two, still not willing to confess?”
Shen Junqing, nonchalant, chuckled, “If you want me to confess, just ask. It would make me look less valuable if I did it willingly. Or maybe you should beg A cold expression briefly passed over Chapman’s usually gentle face as he kicked Shen Junqing directly in the chest.
Shen Junqing’s face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Bai Chen thought to himself, *I’ve never seen someone so cocky. He’s practically asking for it.*
“I still hope that the two of you will cooperate a bit. This way, you’ll suffer less. Otherwise, the physical torment you’ve experienced so far is just the beginning. ”
They hadn’t used all their interrogation methods yet. If they didn’t cooperate, Chapman would have to turn to more brutal tactics and hand them over to more specialized personnel.
Chapman waited for a moment, but neither of them showed any intention of answering.
Shen Junqing was busy coughing up blood, so he probably couldn’t answer.
Bai Chen simply ignored him.
Without getting angry, Chapman calmly stated, “I’ll give you two another two hours to think it over. If you still don’t cooperate, I’ll have to resort to less humane methods.”
Before leaving, Chapman didn’t play favorites and gave Bai Chen another kick.
Bai Chen, after enduring the intense pain, weakly leaned against the wall and looked at Shen Junqing with a faint gaze.
“Are you dead yet?”
Shen Junqing’s tone was somewhat feeble. “You’re still alive and well. How could I possibly be dead?”
He had lost too much blood, and his vision was blurred, making everything appear fuzzy.
Coughing up more blood, he murmured, “I guess our odds aren’t looking great this time. Do you have any regrets?”
“Well…
Bai Chen’s tone remained calm. He wasn’t entirely certain whether Nan Yan would arrive in time. Perhaps, as Shen Junqing had suggested, they might meet their end here. However, until the very last moment, he chose to hold on to hope.
With just the two of them severely injured, the chances of escaping from here were close to zero. Moreover, they were completely under the watchful eyes of their captors, with their every move being monitored. It seemed impossible even to get out of the room.
“So, what’s the biggest regret?” Shen Junqing seemed more interested in gossip than concerned about his own injuries.
“The biggest regret… is having to die with you,” Bai Chen replied with clear disdain in his voice.
Shen Junqing snorted, “What’s wrong with dying with me? I don’t have any complaints about you.”
He hadn’t complained about him, so what gave Bai Chen the right to complain about him!
Bai Chen didn’t want to continue with this childish topic, but seeing Shen Junqing’s deteriorating condition, he thought for a moment and said, “Dying with you means I’ll have to endure your nagging even on the road to the afterlife.
Shen Junqing retorted, “You’re the annoying one.”
Bai Chen chuckled, “The one who’s annoying is crystal clear in both our hearts. Someone here should have a little self-awareness.’
Shen Junqing, known for his thick skin, didn’t seem to care and said, “What’s self-awareness? Never heard of it.
They bantered back and forth, but Shen Junqing’s voice grew weaker and weaker. Eventually, he seemed to doze off, leaning against the wall.
“Shen San?”
To avoid revealing their identities, they used false names when addressing each other.
There was no response from Shen Junqing.
Bai Chen furrowed his brows and called again, “Shen San!”
Shen Junqing struggled to open his eyes and mumbled, “Calling… me… too noisy…”
Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief. “Don’t fall asleep.”
“I… know…”
Shen Junqing was aware of his deteriorating condition. Continuous blood loss had lowered his body temperature, and now he was seeing hallucinations.
Exhaustion and drowsiness overwhelmed him, and he couldn’t help but want to drift off to sleep. If Bai Chen hadn’t awakened him earlier, he might have already slipped into unconsciousness.
“If… I die… remember… tell Yanyan… not to be sad… and not to blame herself… for everything… I did… willingly…”
He wanted to protect the girl he held in his heart, and he didn’t want his death to cause her sadness or self-blame.
As long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters…
As for everything else, it doesn’t matter…
There will be someone to fulfill what he wanted to do, so he won’t have any regrets.
Bai Chen bit his tongue to keep himself awake with the sharp pain, then said coldly, “You should personally tell her these things.” Shen Junqing:
He’s already dead, how can he personally tell Nan Yan?
Become a ghost and send a dream?
That’s a joke.
If he did that, he might even scare Nan Yan.
Bai Chen whispered. “We won’t die. hang in there.
He believed in his partners.
Meanwhile, Qin Lu and Li Yuan acted quickly.
To lure out the Seven Deadly Sins as fast as possible, they staged a conflict between the Dark Realm and the Junlin Group, turning the two superpowers into enemies.
With the two superpowers in conflict, other organizations tried to take advantage of the situation and got entangled in the feud between the two major forces.
The snowball effect grew larger and larger, quickly affecting nearly half of the world’s major corporations.
The stock market began to go wild, with continuous surges and halts. In the black market, many drugs, firearms, and ammunition were flowing out during the chaos…
At the same time, news from the Middle East revealed the discovery of an ownerless mine, not a gold, silver, or diamond mine, but a mine containing various trace elements, rare metals, and rare gases.
Its research value had already surpassed that of the largest mine currently in operation.
This news caused a sensation worldwide, and many forces wanted a piece of the action.
In just one day, hundreds of planes flew to the Middle East.
“Yanyan, the Seven Deadly Sins have started to move.”
Under the temptation of multiple factors, even if the Seven Deadly Sins were cautious and careful, they couldn’t help but be attracted and wanted to get a piece of the action.
The mastermind behind the Seven Deadly Sins was an extremely ambitious and calculating person. If it weren’t for Qin Lu and Li Yuan teaming up to draw the whole world into a scam, he would never have easily revealed himself.
Two days had passed since she arrived in M country.
Every minute and every second was agonizing for Nan Yan.
She was afraid that Bai Chen and Shen Junqing couldn’t wait that long.
So, upon receiving Qin Lu’s message informing her that the Seven Deadly Sins were also on the move, she immediately began her rescue operation.
The headquarters of the Seven Deadly Sins was even more difficult to infiltrate than Xi Shijin’s headquarters. She didn’t have a pass, and attempting to force her way in would alert the enemy.
In order to gain entry as quickly as possible, she decided to kidnap Xi Shijin.
Xi Shijin was thrown into a windowless room, with the only door guarded by her.
Upon seeing Nan Yan approach, Xing Jia hurriedly extinguished the cigarette in her hand and looked at her with admiration, “Miss Nan, you’re here!”
Nan Yan nodded and then asked, “Is he inside?”
Xing Jia nodded quickly, “Yes, I frightened him a bit, and now he’s on the verge of a mental breakdown.’
Nan Yan inquired, “How did you scare him?”
