The First Order-Chapter 801 - Failed rescue!

Chapter 801: Failed rescue!

The warden was standing in the control room and watching Wang Yun and the Great Hoodwinker whispering to each other onscreen. It was an extremely strange sight to behold.

However, the warden realized Wang Yun must know he could read lips. That was why he covered his mouth when he was speaking.

In the past, when he looked at the surveillance footage, he would know what the prisoners were saying even if he could not hear their voices. The prisoners unknowingly revealing their own secrets was the reason why he was able to remain as the warden for more than a decade, because he could always pass on extremely important information to the higher-ups.

But Wang Yun was actually aware of his secret.

As expected, Wang Yun, who was capable enough to become the intelligence agency’s director, was outstanding.

Back when Wang Yun was still the director of the 2nd Military Intelligence Division, the warden realized not even the 1st and 2nd Military Intelligence Divisions combined could capture as many criminals as Wang Yun had. It seemed the man was always able to uncover other people’s secrets from the simple clues he found.

The warden said with a cold expression, “There’s definitely a problem with these two. When will the 1st Military Intelligence Division get here for the interrogation?”

“They said they’ll be here soon,” a prison guard answered.

“Zoom in on them and listen to what they are saying with the audio pick-up equipment,” the warden said.

The prison guard answered, “Sir, it’s too noisy in the chow hall. Besides, there’s no audio frequency detected around them. We can’t hear what they’re saying.”

“Send in the riot squad to maintain order and bring those two out. And be careful. If they encounter any resistance, just open fire on them,” the warden said.

With that, tear gas was released from the ceiling, and white smoke quickly filled the entire chow hall.

The riot squad downstairs began streaming in with their gas masks on and started beating up anyone they came across. There was also a group of 10 other troopers who rushed towards Wang Yun and the Great Hoodwinker.

The Great Hoodwinker shouted, “Why don’t we charge out and bring that warden under control first? I feel that we still have a 50% chance of success at that.”

“No, the warden is a superhuman. It won’t be that easy.” Wang Yun shouted, “Besides, I still have more than 200 subordinates locked up in another prison. If I take any action here, they’ll be killed!”

The Great Hoodwinker muttered, “Let’s just surrender then. Why are you so troublesome?”

Wang Yun’s eyes reddened from the tear gas. Fortunately, he managed to control the air in time and isolated the remaining tear gas. As such, he and the Great Hoodwinker did not get affected too badly.

Wang Yun stared at the Great Hoodwinker. “If you want me to join the Prosperous Northwest, you’ll have to rescue my subordinates first. I’m not leaving by myself!”

“Are you kidding me? There’s more than 200 of them. How are we going to bring them with us?” The Great Hoodwinker nearly went crazy when he heard that. This was the Kong Consortium’s territory, after all. It would not be too difficult to sneak one person away, but to bring more than 200 people with them, wasn’t that as good as declaring war with the Kong Consortium!?

Wang Yun ignored the Great Hoodwinker’s grousing. He looked at the riot squad that was rushing over and said, “We’ll talk after we make it through the beating. You don’t even have a concrete plan yet, so why did you come and talk to me? For that, we’re both gonna get beaten up!”

However, after Wang Yun mentioned they were going to get beaten up, he realized the Great Hoodwinker did not really seem to mind.

He said in surprise, “Aren’t you afraid?”

“Oh, about getting beaten up?” The Great Hoodwinker said, “It’s not like it’s gonna hurt me anyways.”

Wang Yun was stunned. Oh right! This Great Hoodwinker had such thick skin that not even the anesthetic injection had any effect on him, so of course he wouldn’t be scared of taking a beating.

But Wang Yun would feel pain!

Fuck, so after the Great Hoodwinker got him into all this trouble, he would be the only one suffering?

Wang Yun said through clenched teeth, “Can you people from the Northwest not be such nuisances?!”

The Great Hoodwinker coughed, “All the best.”

The riot squad troopers had already rushed in front of the two of them. They raised their rods and swung down on them.

The Great Hoodwinker lay on the ground and simply allowed the people to carry him out.

Seeing that the Great Hoodwinker and Wang Yun did not resist, the leader of the riot squad decisively administered anesthetics into their necks before taking them out of the chow hall.

Wang Yun tried his best to speak sincerely to the riot squad troopers while he was still conscious. “I have a tip about this man. He’s not afraid of normal torture, so you’ll need to use electrocution on him, please!”

The Great Hoodwinker was speechless.

When Wang Yun came to in the interrogation room, he could hear the Great Hoodwinker’s screams ringing in his ears. Only then did he feel some comfort.

The Kong Consortium had placed the two of them in a special two-person inquisition room and not a normal interrogation room. This was where they conducted special interrogation through the use of torture.

In this kind of inquisition room, one could hear the torture being carried out next door. The Kong Consortium would use the screams of a person to break down another person’s psychological defense.

The director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division stood in front of Wang Yun, wanting to examine his expression. He could only see a gratified smile on Wang Yun’s face.

This puzzled the director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division a little. Didn’t they say the two of them had a good relationship? Didn’t they say the old man was likely to be Wang Yun’s handler?

But now, it did not look like that at all. Wang Yun’s gratified smile seemed to be coming from the bottom of his heart. It felt extremely sincere.

This bewildered the director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division. He asked, “Is there anything you want to confess now?”

Wang Yun said in seriousness, “You must be Zhong Zhen, originally of the 3rd Military Intelligence Division, right? When I was still in charge of field operations at the 3rd Division, we worked together once on an operation.”

Zhong Zhen narrowed his eyes. “Senior, now is not the time to be reminiscing.”

Wang Yun smiled. “It doesn’t matter. You’ve been promoted to director of the 1st Division, and you might even become the director of the intelligence agency in the future. How about this? I’ll share with you the secrets of the intelligence agency, including some information about the current intelligence director. How does that sound?”

Zhong Zhen smiled and said, “Then what do you want in return, Senior? If you want me to release you, forget it. No one can get you out now.”

“I’m not asking to be released.” Wang Yun shook his head. “I just need you to turn up the voltage next door.”

Zhong Zhen was astonished. How could that person next door be his fucking handler? He was clearly an enemy!

It looked like there was some mistake in the intel!

On the night of the fourth day, the interrogators from the 1st Military Intelligence Division were still unable to get anything out of them after three straight days of torture and questioning.

Based on the usual practice, such enhanced interrogations would last for several months, and they would even resort to tiring the subject out until they broke down mentally.

In the end, the 1st Military Intelligence Division encountered an unexpected situation and decided to end the interrogation.

Wang Yun and the Great Hoodwinker were also put back into their individual cells. This time, the warden simply arranged for other inmates to be around their cells so he could find out some clues from their behavior.

In this interrogation, Wang Yun and the Great Hoodwinker both suffered greatly. Zhong Zhen, the director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division, ended up as the biggest winner. When the man left the secret prison, he was all smiles.

However, this did not go unnoticed by the warden whose expertise was lip reading.

The warden picked up the landline in his office and made a call. “Sir, Zhong Zhen has gotten quite a lot of information about you from Wang Yun.”

There was a snort on the other end of the line. “Looks like I promoted him in vain. He’s really an ungrateful dog.”

After that, the warden hung up the phone. As he sat in his office, he suddenly had a thought. Since Wang Yun knew that he could read lips, was he trying to use him to sow discord within the intelligence agency?!
