In the cell, Cao Yunfei sat on the wooden bed, sighing and frowning. He was now in an extreme conflict.
From the moment he was arrested, he never thought about the word "surrender" at all. He was just thinking about Black Pearl's words.
In the interrogation room last night, Black Pearl spoke categorically, personally saying that Ping An was indeed his son.
As for why he didn't admit it at the time, Black Pearl's explanation was very reasonable. He heard that the spies were coming to arrest Cao Yunfei, so he didn't dare to admit it because he was worried about being implicated.
Shen Zhifeng made it very clear that if Cao Yunfei refused to cooperate, not only would he be executed on the spot, but Black Pearl and his son would also be imprisoned.
Jiang Xinyu made some inquiries and found out that Cao Yunfei would rather die than surrender. The only knot he couldn't resolve was whether Ping An was his son.
What he needs to do is to tell Cao Yunfei the truth and let him act according to the rescue plan.
The problem is, in order to ensure that nothing unexpected happens, Qiao Mucai personally ordered that no one is allowed to approach Cao Yunfei without his permission.
…………
The first floor is the prison cell, and the second floor is the rest room for each group of action teams.
There are separate doors on the first and second floors. As the captain of the action team, Jiang Xinyu often comes here for inspections.
After lunch, he walked to the second floor. Each room door had a house number sign, group one, group two, group three, etc., and so on.
Jiang Xinyu knew that downstairs from the break room of the fourth group was the cell where Cao Yunfei was imprisoned.
When he came to the fourth group of doors, he opened the door and walked in. Seven or eight people gathered around the room. There was a cricket jar on the table. Two crickets had their tentacles raised and they were fighting each other happily.
Jiang Xinyu coughed slightly, and an agent turned around to look, and stood at attention: "Captain."
The others immediately panicked and hurriedly stood up and stood with hands down, looking at their noses and mouths, not even daring to take a breath.
If you do this kind of thing during working hours, according to the family law of the Secret Bureau, everyone will be detained for at least one day, plus half a month's salary will be deducted, and the team leader will also be subject to disciplinary sanctions.
Jiang Xinyu only came here occasionally in the morning and rarely at noon. This habitual understanding also made the agents in the fourth group a little careless.
Now that the captain had caught them on the spot, they had no choice but to consider themselves unlucky.
Jiang Xinyu put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in front of everyone, saying, "Who can explain to me what happened here? Could it be that I went to the wrong room and entered the Great Happiness by mistake?"
Everyone knows that DaHappiness is a famous casino in Yanjin.
The leader of the fourth group, whose surname was Zhao, bowed and said: "Captain, we all had nothing to do and happened to catch two crickets, so we played with them..."
Jiang Xinyu said coldly: "The crickets were caught in the yard, but where was the jar? They were also picked up in the yard? Fortunately, you are still an agent, so your lies are full of loopholes!"
Team leader Zhao was speechless, with a red face and his hands hanging down in silence, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Jiang Xinyu casually pulled up a chair, sat down next to the heating pipe, and said, "I think you guys are living a very comfortable life. If something doesn't happen every day, it would be too shameful for the action team."
...It’s best for the webmaster to bump into me, that will add luster to my face, is that what you mean?”
Team Leader Zhao lowered his head and said respectfully: "Captain, it was my fault, and I am willing to accept your punishment."
"Where did the cricket come from?"
"……bought."
"Did you buy it?"
"yes."
"You lose your mind by playing with things! Is this how I usually teach you? Ah?"
"Captain, I was wrong."
Jiang Xinyu sighed, looked at everyone with a hateful look, and said: "You guys really make me proud! Team leader Zhao, if I put you in solitary confinement, you don't have to be the team leader..."
"
Team leader Zhao broke into a cold sweat. He bowed almost ninety degrees and said, "Captain, please give me another chance. I promise, this is the last time!"
Jiang Xinyu pretended to be deep in thought, as if he was considering how to punish these people. In fact, he was secretly observing under his feet. The heating pipe was connected to the downstairs, and there was inevitably a gap around it.
After a while, Jiang Xinyu softened his tone and said: "Since this is your first offender, you will be exempted from confinement. Besides, if this matter gets out, my face will be disgraceful."
The captain wanted to be given a lighter sentence. Team leader Zhao was relieved and said quickly: "Thank you very much, captain."
"Although the confinement is exempted, I still have to teach you a lesson! Everyone, listen to my command and turn backwards!" Jiang Xinyu ordered.
The eight agents from the fourth group, including Team Leader Zhao, all turned to the door. Their backs were now facing Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu said: "Each person can press one hundred palms, and the time limit is one minute. No pauses are allowed in the middle. Let's start!"
As he spoke, he stuffed a neatly folded piece of paper along the gap in the heating pipe, then picked up the cricket jar and smashed it at his feet, and said sternly: "I'm warning you, if you let me see such things again in the future, I won't do it."
You are so polite today!"
If a small piece of paper falls, Cao Yunfei may not notice it, but if the heating pipe suddenly makes a noise, he will definitely take a look out of instinct.
Jiang Xinyu calculated the time, and Cao Yunfei had just had lunch. According to Qiao Muchai's order, no one would appear in the cell again, which would prevent the note from being seen by others.
To put it bluntly, even if Cao Yunfei did not find the note, Jiang Xinyu would enter the cell and take away the note immediately after interrogating him.
The palm press mainly tests the strength of the waist, abdomen and arms. Agents have been trained in this area and can do fifty or sixty per minute. It is indeed a bit difficult to do one hundred.
Seeing that everyone's movements were gradually slowing down, and it was obvious that they were exhausted, Jiang Xinyu said with a cold face: "Bring on your cricket-fighting spirit, come on!"
It took more than two minutes of procrastination and finally I finished one hundred palm presses.
Jiang Xinyu didn't care about time and said: "I won't do this next time!" and walked out.
Team leader Zhao rubbed his sore and numb arms and ordered his subordinates: "I'm telling you, this matter is not allowed to be spread outside. If other teams find out, they will laugh their heads off!"
"Team leader, don't worry, no one will tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing."
"It's still a small matter to be embarrassed. My salary will be deducted, I'll be detained, and my bonus at the end of the month will probably be gone."
"That's right, if word gets out, the captain won't be able to protect him. He will definitely have to deal with it according to family law, and his salary will be deducted and he will be put in solitary confinement."
"That's really eye candy for the captain. It's been dealt with internally here, but let's tell it to the public again, tsk tsk..."
The secret agents talked among themselves and quickly reached a consensus that for the sake of the common interests, this matter could only be kept in the stomach and treated as if it had never happened.
