Chapter 559: You’re Surrounded

Book Chapter 559: You’re Surrounded (Update 2)

A group of men in black entered the private room. Lin

carried away two severely injured young men and a corpse.

Wu Yaying stared at the scene before her and swallowed hard.

Glancing at Xiao Yu calmly smoking on the sidelines, her expression had changed.

Xiao Yu dropped his cigarette and asked Wu Yaying, “Can we leave now?”

“……”

Wu Yaying’s face shifted as she stood up and walked out of the room.

Too composed, too off… Xiao Yu squinted as he watched Wu Yaying’s retreating back.

This was not the calm one would expect from an ordinary woman!

……

City Z, City Bureau, Interrogation Room.

“Tell me, why did you call Lu Weiting to buy a gun and so many bullets? What were you planning?”

Xiao Yu asked coldly, “And what about your accomplices? You bought five guns – that’s at least five people. If you had your own arms, wouldn’t the number be even higher?”

Wu Yaying sat motionless in the interrogation chair with her head bowed, as if she hadn’t heard him.

“I don’t have time for your games.”

Xiao Yu replied impassively, “Delaying only makes your fate worse!”

Wu Yaying still remained silent.

Xiao Yu gestured dismissively.

At that moment, a National Security officer who had been standing aside stepped toward Wu Yaying.

He held a syringe in his hand.

He lifted Wu Yaying’s sleeve, quickly disinfected her skin, and injected the substance into her arm.

Throughout the process, Wu Yaying remained utterly still, like a soulless puppet.

After a few minutes,

“Hehe, hehe…”

A foolish laugh emerged from Wu Yaying’s lips.

She appeared as if intoxicated, staggering unsteadily.

When she slowly lifted her head, a dazed smile spread across her face.

Drool escaped her mouth as she kept laughing inanely.

Soon, Wu Yaying’s silly grin shifted to a strange, eerie calm.

The Truth Serum was taking effect!

It was the first time Xiao Yu had seen a criminal react like this after being dosed with Truth Serum.

He’d only ever imagined the rough outline of the scene before.

But he hadn’t expected it to give him goosebumps.

After all, no one wants to be turned into a dope after a single injection!

In truth, there’s nothing mysterious about Truth Serum.

In 1920, an obstetrician discovered an organic compound called ‘Atropa belladonna’.

It is found in plants of the nightshade family and, once extracted, was used as a special kind of medicine.

Originally, it was used to improve microcirculation and counteract seasickness and car sickness.

But when mixed with certain anesthetics, it creates a chemical reaction…

It numbs the brain’s nervous system, inducing a state of calm that hinders thought, diminishing part of the brain’s activity—similar to extreme drunkenness.

Many have heard the saying, ‘In wine, truth is revealed.’

The effect of Truth Serum is three to five times stronger than being drunk.

Everyone harbors secrets in their heart, some unutterable.

They fear and worry that one day the Truth Serum might be used on them.

It works much like Hypnosis.

Both are considered invalid interrogation methods.

Even if one extracts confessions using Truth Serum and Hypnosis,

they are still deemed inadmissible and are banned in many countries.

And as for why… well, take a guess.

National Security isn’t exactly the same as being police, though they are police nonetheless.

Their mission is to protect the nation and its people.

As long as they can defend the country, protect the people, and eliminate all security risks,

they won’t hesitate to use methods like Truth Serum.

Not even if the methods are ten times darker.

For the sake of the nation and its people, they wouldn’t shy away from becoming a band of warriors!

Half an hour later,

Xiao Yu left the interrogation room disappointed.

Truth Serum isn’t one hundred percent effective on everyone.

Like Hypnosis, some people are too willful to be influenced.

Now comes the problem.

Back then, how did Xiao Yu manage to force a master hypnotist into a state of trance?

The principle behind it is rather amusing.

The more proficient one is, the more likely they are to falter internally.

(chdj) Isn’t it incredible? And a bit funny too?

It’s like drowning a person who should be a strong swimmer… Hard to say how many truly get the meaning.

That’s pretty much it!

……

Xiao Yu and Zhao Long stood outside the City Bureau in City Z,

watching as Wu Yaying was dragged into a police car en route to the Detention Center.

Neither of them expected a woman’s defiance to be this unyielding.

“The personnel have been arranged,”

Zhao Long said, his eyes gleaming sharply like blades.

“Uh-huh.”

Xiao Yu watched the receding police car and remarked, “I’ll go alone. More people would just complicate things.”

“Are you sure they’re going to show up?”

Zhao Long asked, a hint of doubt on his face, “To rescue her?”

“Not sure,”

Xiao Yu shook his head. “But her cool composure tells me something unexpected might happen.”

“I don’t get what you’re saying.”

Zhao Long shook his head, his expression earnest. “Anyway, I’ll follow your orders. Leave the strategizing to you.”

Xiao Yu smirked, “This is their last chance. If I were them, I wouldn’t let this slip by.”

What chance?

……

Inside the police car heading to the Detention Center,

Wu Yaying, handcuffed, kept her head down.

Two female officers and two male Criminal Police sat beside her.

The driver was a police officer, and the front passenger was a member of Team Two.

The ride from the City Bureau to the Detention Center took just over forty minutes.

Now, past the halfway mark, the car had left the city, cruising along a rural road.

Suddenly,

Wu Yaying lifted her head. Her fairly attractive face twisted into an indescribably maniacal expression, with a touch of a sickly smile, as she glanced around.

“What are you looking at?” a female officer snapped.

“Hehe!”

Wu Yaying laughed, “I hope in a bit you’ll still be yapping like a stray dog!”

“You…” the female officer fumed.

All of a sudden,

Boom… the police car’s tire exploded, sending the vehicle into utter chaos.

The occupants panicked as the car began to flip onto its side.

Throughout the ordeal, Wu Yaying’s maniacal grin deepened.

Crash!

The side of the police van slammed into the ground with tremendous force.

On the road,

not far from the police car, a spiked strip was visible.

This device can instantly blow a tire on any vehicle.

The consequences of a blowout at high speed need no explanation.

But no one expected

someone would dare use such a device to target a police car!

Five men burst out from both sides of the road, charging at the police car.

Yet before they could reach it,

their steps came to an abrupt halt.

Five pairs of astonished eyes fixed on a lone figure steadily approaching from afar.

That man smiled as he spoke.

“Sorry, but you’re all surrounded!”
