Espionage: I Have Photo Editing Software

What exactly is the deal with Chang Chih-ho and film?

Wei Renming had a lot of grievances to share.

He was terrified that the secret service would mistake him for a member of the Communist Party.

The White Terror was no joke.

He might lose his life.

"I really just went looking for a job, and I know nothing else!"

One lie requires countless lies to cover it up.

Given the information asymmetry, Wei Renming decided to tell the truth.

He wasn't a member of the Communist Party, so there was no need for him to lie to exonerate himself.

Otherwise, once the lie is exposed, there will be no way to defend oneself.

Chen Zhiqiang sneered, "I didn't realize you, pretty boy, were such a tough nut to crack."

Without his order, his men ripped open Wei Renming's shirt and pressed a branding iron hard against the latter's chest.

"Sizzle..."

The branding iron reacted violently with the flesh, and a puff of white smoke rose up.

"ah!!!"

Wei Renming had never suffered such torment before. He immediately cried out in pain and struggled violently, but to no avail.

"We'll have to say it sooner or later, why make things difficult for ourselves?" Chen Zhiqiang leaned back in his chair, looking confident and assured of victory.

"I really don't know any Zhang Zhihe, and I have no idea where this film reel you're talking about is. Even if you kill me, you still won't know!"

Although he wanted to kill Chen Zhiqiang, the situation forced him to lower himself and explain in a humble manner for the sake of his life.

Chen Zhiqiang ignored him and ordered his men to strip Wei Renming naked.

"Tsk tsk, so well-funded? He really is a gigolo."

Then, like a pervert, his gaze lingered on the latter for a while, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

There are no signs of training on his body. Could there be a mistake?

The next moment, he made a firm decision.

"He's just a country bumpkin with no connections. Killing the wrong person is a mistake."

Chen Zhiqiang laughed loudly, "Brothers, I'll castrate a eunuch to open your eyes!"

The two men burst into cheerful laughter.

Chen Zhiqiang pulled out a dagger and brandished it under Wei Renming.

Wei Renming could no longer hold back and started cursing loudly.

Chen Zhiqiang said coldly, "I'll ask you one last time, where exactly is the film reel?"

"What the hell is more important than my manhood? I really don't know!" Wei Renming said indignantly.

"Stubborn!" Chen Zhiqiang sneered and swung his knife at the large bird.

"Bang!"

The iron gate was pushed open.

"Wait!" Wang Zhaohuai called out to stop them.

The dagger stopped three centimeters away.

Wei Renming was granted a general amnesty.

Chen Zhiqiang turned around, a fawning smile on his face. "Captain Wang, what are your instructions?"

"Let's talk outside."

After the two left the interrogation room, Wang Zhaohuai handed over a telegram and said, "News just came from Funing: Wei Renming's identity has been verified; he wasn't lying."

Chen Zhiqiang read the telegram and frowned, saying:

"This only proves that the person does exist, but it doesn't prove that the person in the interrogation room is Wei Renming. In any case, his presence at Zhaofu Photo Studio at that time is the biggest suspicious point."

"His sister, Wei Renyi, is right outside. Whether she's impersonating him or not, it'll be obvious at a glance," Wang Zhaohuai said.

Chen Zhiqiang was still not giving up. "Even if he really is Wei Renming, who can prove that he didn't come into contact with those people during the months he was in Shanghai? I still stand by what I said: better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

Although Wang Zhaohuai looked down on his senior from the bottom of his heart, he still patiently explained, "You don't know, but this kid just told the director a fortune. I can't tell you the details, but in short, the director has ordered that interrogation is allowed, but he is not allowed to be tortured, let alone killed."

Chen Zhiqiang gritted his teeth. "I will obey orders."

"I suggest you focus your energy on Zhang Zhihe. Once he speaks up, all the problems will be solved," Wang Zhaohuai advised.

"Sigh..." Chen Zhiqiang shook his head. "I don't know what kind of spell Zhang Zhihe has been cast on. We've tried all sorts of torture, but he just won't confess. If we continue to torture him, he definitely won't be able to take it. And with so much time having passed, it's probably going to be difficult to retrieve the film."

"If your team members hadn't been bribed, this matter would have had nothing to do with you. It's truly an undeserved disaster!" Wang Zhaohuai sighed.

"Now that things have come to this, I hope the captain can put in a good word for me with the director. Over the years, I have risked my life for the Special Service Department. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard!" Although Chen Zhiqiang had long had the idea of ​​running away, he was reluctant to leave if things could turn around.

"Of course, we are classmates from Whampoa Military Academy, and we should help each other." Wang Zhaohuai readily agreed, but in his heart he had already made up his mind not to get involved in this mess.

Dai Li was already angry, and he hadn't gained anything from it, so why bother making things worse?

After Wang Zhaohuai left, Chen Zhiqiang returned to the interrogation room. Looking at the naked Wei Renming, a thought suddenly struck him. After dismissing his two subordinates, he pulled out his dagger again and threatened:

"I heard you did a fortune telling for the section chief?"

Wei Renming was about to answer, but he stopped abruptly and asked, "Who is the section chief? The distinguished guest from earlier?"

"That's good. Why don't you tell my fortune too?"

Chen Zhiqiang was a believer in ghosts and gods, and he thought to himself, since this kid could get Dai Li's attention, he must have some real skills.

As the saying goes, when someone is desperate, they'll try anything. Maybe a divination can actually solve their immediate problem?

"Didn't you doubt me? Even if I did the divination for you, you wouldn't believe me. You know, sincerity is key! Let's just forget about it!"

Wei Renming really didn't want to tell his fortune.

Deceiving people is not an easy task.

Especially when it comes to fooling people like Chen Zhiqiang who are meticulous and suspicious.

What if I say something wrong? Wouldn't that give others a handle to use against me?

"When did it become your place to make decisions about this?" Chen Zhiqiang said with dissatisfaction.

Helpless, Wei Renming repeated the saying, "The grandfather died leaving behind family precepts; fortune-telling will bring divine retribution."

Chen Zhiqiang ignored him completely and threatened him with a dagger.

"Either we settle this, or I'll castrate you. The choice is yours!"

What could Wei Renming do? He could only reluctantly agree.

"Speak, who do you think you are?"

I cursed, and it felt so good!

"Career!" Chen Zhiqiang said without hesitation.

Wei Renming couldn't help but sneer inwardly, 'Look at this guy's panicked state; even a fool could tell he's in deep trouble.'

Thinking this way, he made a plan.

After staring at the former for a long time, he deliberately acted as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Chen Zhiqiang's heart tightened, and he urged, "Could something ominous be brewing?"

These words gave Wei Renming peace of mind.

"Well..."

"Speak!" Chen Zhiqiang shouted.

"I said yes, but you have to promise you won't retaliate against me for it."

The more Wei Renming evaded the issue, the more credible it became.

"Speak quickly!" Chen Zhiqiang was almost losing patience.

"When your fate is afflicted by the Robbery Star and your Career Palace is broken, the moment your career collapses will be the moment of your death. This is an extremely ominous sign!" Wei Renming said calmly, but inwardly he was extremely uneasy, fearing that his words did not fit Chen Zhiqiang's situation and would arouse his suspicion.

"Nonsense!" Chen Zhiqiang roared in fury.
