As they stepped into the basement, Mu Chengxi couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose at the heavy, metallic smell in the air.

Geng Zewei was tied to an interrogation chair, with an IV drip attached to his arm. His body was covered in bruises and cuts, leaving no spot unscathed.

Hearing footsteps, Geng Zewei slowly lifted his head. When he saw Wen Xin, his eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared on his bloodied face.

“I didn’t…didn’t expect it to really be you. Geng Qiu told me that the miracle doctor who treated her at the villa was you. I didn’t believe it… But now, seeing you here, I realize you’re not an ordinary person.”

Geng Zewei spoke laboriously before closing his eyes. Seeing Wen Xin stirred complicated feelings in him. He had always believed that when he became powerful, he would be Wen Xin’s savior.

However, he was wrong. Wen Xin harbored deep hatred for his family, making the idea of redemption laughable.

“Where is Yuan Junye?”

Wen Xin had no interest in Geng Zewei’s words. She didn’t care where Geng Qiu had seen her, as Geng Qiu posed no threat to her. She only wanted to know Yuan Junye’s whereabouts.

“Are you talking about the head of Tianye Technology Group? He…he was taken by people from the Independent State. They wanted to discuss a business deal with him…”

Seeing Wen Xin had drained the fight out of Geng Zewei. He knew he wouldn’t leave here alive. Dying at Wen Xin’s hands might even be a relief.

“Business deal? What kind of deal?”

Chu Yunxuan, surprised to hear that people from the Independent State were involved, stepped forward and grabbed Geng Zewei by the collar, desperate to learn more about Yuan Junye.

Geng Zewei closed his eyes and ignored Chu Yunxuan’s questions. He was indifferent to her torture, knowing he wouldn’t open his mouth.

Wen Xin clenched her fists. She had suspected the Independent State’s involvement but hadn’t expected Geng Zewei to be working for them.

“What is the relationship between the Shadow Alliance and the Independent State? Why are you working for them? Where did they take Yuan Junye, and why?”

Wen Xin’s voice was icy. She had planned to wait longer, but the Independent State’s actions forced her hand.

“So you do know about the Shadow Alliance. When I heard the villa had been blown up, I thought it wasn’t because someone had offended a miracle doctor. It was you, going after Aiden. Your goal is the Shadow Alliance?”

“Wen Xin, you know I like you. If you’re willing to be with me, I can take you to the Shadow Alliance. If you don’t like it there, I can help you dismantle it from within. And if you want to go to the Independent State, I can…”

“Ah…”

Before Geng Zewei could finish, Mu Chengxi grabbed a knife from Chu Yunxuan’s hand and stabbed it into Geng Zewei’s shoulder.

“You think you’re worthy?”

Mu Chengxi’s movements were so swift that even Wen Xin didn’t see him take the knife. Chu Yunxuan didn’t know her knife was taken.

Geng Zewei looked at the knife in his shoulder and smiled bitterly, “Right, how could I be worthy?”

“When she was at her lowest, I chose to ignore her. Now, how dare I even think…dare to think…dare to think…”

“Stop stalling. What are those people’s goals?”

Wen Xin had lost her patience. She took out a silver needle and waved it in front of Geng Zewei’s face.

Instantly, Geng Zewei’s eyes glazed over, and his gaze lost its focus.

“The Shadow Alliance is a branch under the Elders Council of the Independent State. When the Elders Council needs something done, they send the Shadow Alliance. When there’s no need, the Shadow Alliance operates independently.”

“Aiden always wanted to break free from the Elders Council, but the Shadow Alliance’s internal structure is complex. His plans repeatedly failed, and someone else, a loyalist to the Elders Council, has taken his place.”

“I tried to take advantage of Aiden but failed to get any information from him. Now, I’m just a puppet leader for the Shadow Alliance.”

“This time, the Elders Council targeted Yuan Junye’s security system. Knowing his ties to Continent M, they didn’t want a direct confrontation and decided to go after Yuan Junye in Beijing instead.” freeweɓnovel.cѳm

“When the order came, the Elders Council insisted on keeping Yuan Junye safe. They want the project, not trouble…”

Hearing this, both Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan sighed in relief, knowing Yuan Junye’s life wasn’t in immediate danger.

“Where is the Shadow Alliance’s base?”

Having confirmed that Yuan Junye wasn’t in danger for now, Wen Xin relaxed slightly, though her tone remained cold.

“The base is in the…plains…”

Before Geng Zewei could finish, he passed out. His injuries were severe, and the interrogation drugs Chu Yunxuan used, along with the energy drain from the hypnosis, were too much for him.

Seeing Geng Zewei pass out just as he was about to reveal the critical information frustrated Wen Xin. Now, she had to find a doctor to treat him just to get the location.

“Get a doctor to treat him and keep a close watch. Don’t let him escape. We’ll continue the interrogation once he’s regained some strength.”

“Understood, I’ll make arrangements now.” The man standing by the door nodded and quickly left to arrange for a doctor.

Soon, a man carrying a medical kit entered. Wen Xin took Mu Chengxi’s hand and left the interrogation room.

Chu Yunxuan followed them out, her face pale from exhaustion.

“Yuan Junye was taken to the Independent State, but we…”

“I’ll handle the Independent State. How many people were with Geng Zewei? How many have you captured?”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, her voice soft yet firm. She wanted to extract as much useful information from them as possible.

“There were fourteen people. We’ve captured them all, but they’re tough and refuse to talk.”
