Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

After saying that, Qi Tongwei stood up and pushed open the interrogation room door.

Ding Yizhen looked up and saw Qi Tongwei; the smile on her face instantly froze.

His pupils contracted sharply, and his arrogant aura vanished instantly.

He was struck dumb, completely stunned.

He was stunned.

Completely bewildered.

Foreign gangs?

Underground forces?

Shit!

The person who arrested him was none other than Qi Tongwei!

Executive Vice Governor of Handong Province!

The freedom abroad that I longed for was nothing but a pipe dream.

He never left the territory of Handong from beginning to end.

His boastful, money-spending, and intimidating delinquents just moments ago now seem utterly ridiculous and laughable.

Qi Tongwei looked down at Ding Yizhen, whose face was ashen.

His tone was calm, yet every word was piercing.

"Ding Yizhen, continue."

Every sentence is a slap in the face.

Ding Yizhen's lips trembled violently, his throat was dry, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Their arrogance, tough attitude, and wealthy and powerful demeanor vanished without a trace.

He had only one thought in his mind: It's over, it's completely over.

"You're too fast to get to the front, Ding Yizhen, you naughty boy, I'll teach you to be naughty."

Weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you all down now?

This is entirely their own doing, and they deserve no sympathy whatsoever.

Qi Tongwei put his hands behind his back, his patience exhausted, and stopped wasting words with him.

"Ding Yizhen, I'm giving you a chance."

Who tipped you off?

Who taught you how to evade surveillance and escape?

Who was behind the scenes remotely controlling your escape?

Three questions, hitting the nail on the head, with nothing superfluous.

If Ding Yizhen were to utter just one name, the hidden network of traitors in Handong could be torn open.

The deathly silence lasted for a full ten seconds.

Ding Yizhen suddenly looked up, her eyes instantly becoming unfocused and empty.

The panicked look vanished abruptly.

Instead, he appeared to be in a state of madness.

Qi Tongwei's eyes flashed coldly, instantly seeing through his little scheme.

This old fox is about to start playing dirty tricks.

as predicted.

next second.

Ding Yizhen tilted his head, his lips drooped slightly, and he started spouting nonsense.

His eyes darted around, looking here and there, muttering to himself, completely rambling on and on.

"The wind... the wind told me. Hahaha!"

His tone was erratic, and he spoke nonsense with a straight face.

Qi Tongwei was genuinely amused by his words. "Say that again?"

Ding Yizhen immediately perked up, shaking his head and spouting nonsense, "It's true! Governor Qi, I'm not lying!"

Last night, a strong wind blew through Jingzhou. I heard someone speaking in the wind, telling me to run quickly, or it would be too late!

The route I took was also dictated by the wind; the wind told me to change vehicles, the wind told me to take detours, the wind told me not to look back!

The excuse was so outrageous that it left people speechless.

Cheng Du burst out laughing, lowering his voice to complain, "Ding Yizhen, this is truly eye-opening. I've lived for decades and this is the first time I've ever heard of wind power being used for communication."

You old bastard, you've lost all shame just to avoid confessing!

Liu Hailong also looked helpless, truly at a loss.

This guy is completely unyielding; he's afraid of hard approaches and easily swayed by soft ones, and now he's just gone into "playing crazy" mode.

Qi Tongwei remained expressionless and said coldly, "Ding Yizhen, stop pretending to be crazy."

This is the National Security Bureau, not a marketplace where you can throw a tantrum.

If you confess honestly, there's still a chance for things to turn around.

Continuing to resist will only worsen the crime.

Under duress, Ding Yizhen not only remained unafraid but also put on an even more enthusiastic performance.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he pointed to the ceiling, "Look! There's an airplane in the sky! It's a private plane coming to take me abroad."

Don't stop me, I'm leaving!

As he spoke, he kept twisting his body, making the chair creak.

His movements were exaggerated, and his acting was over-the-top, comparable to veteran actors sharing the stage.

Qi Tongwei was too lazy to waste time with him and raised his hand to signal Liu Hailong.

"Ask him where the money went, check the illegal gains, bribery records, and overseas assets one by one."

Liu Hailong immediately asked, "Ding Yizhen, which accounts did you transfer the embezzled and bribed funds you've received over the years to? Which overseas banks are you holding them in?"

This question struck at Ding Yizhen's weak point.

But he still wouldn't take the bait, and immediately changed his tune, starting to spout nonsense.

"Money? What money? I have no money! I'm dirt poor!"

I, Ding Yizhen, have served as a cadre for decades, remaining incorruptible and wholeheartedly dedicated to the people, without receiving a single penny of illicit income!

I only had a few hundred yuan in cash in my pocket, which was last month's salary!

Don't believe me? Search it yourself!

His ability to lie through his teeth is unparalleled.

Qi Tongwei found it both funny and absurd.

Honest and incorruptible?

The person who just mentioned having a wealthy friend is Ding Yizhen.

This person's skin is so thick it's practically as thick as a corner of a city wall.

Qi Tongwei pressed on in a deep voice, "Who told you to leave early last night's banquet?"

Ding Yizhen's eyes glazed over again, and he began to ramble on, giving irrelevant answers, "Banquet? What banquet? I didn't attend any banquet!"

I stayed home all day yesterday, tending to my plants and watering the flowers. I didn't leave the house at all and didn't go to the Jingzhou Hotel!

He changes his mind faster than turning the pages of a book, revealing his shameless nature.

Cheng Du was both furious and amused, thinking, "Ding Yizhen, that old fox, is truly fearless!"

He won't answer any serious questions, but he spouts nonsense all the time!

Will you tell me or not?

I really want to slap Ding Yizhen a few times.

He looks like he deserves a beating.

Ding Yizhen's performance became increasingly outrageous.

He would sometimes claim to be a celestial being descended to earth to observe the lives of ordinary people.

One minute she's saying she's been brainwashed by aliens and can't remember anything.

A moment later, he slammed his fist on the table and cried out that someone was deliberately framing him, an honest official.

He rambled on and on, his words were incoherent and rambling, and not a single word of truth was spoken.

Qi Tongwei patiently continued to apply pressure, "Ding Yizhen, your escape route, the time you changed cars, and the excuse you used to get rid of the driver were all professional counter-surveillance techniques."

As a cadre who has spent years in officialdom, you wouldn't understand criminal investigation procedures; you absolutely couldn't have done it.

Honestly revealing who's behind it all is your only way out.

But Ding Yizhen stubbornly persisted, continuing to feign madness.

He suddenly slapped his thigh, looking as if he had just realized something.

"Oh! I remember now!"

Qi Tongwei's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that he was finally about to confess.

The next second, Ding Yizhen made a surprising statement.

"It was the Old Man of the Moon who told me to run away!"

He said I was destined for a calamity and needed to avoid it!

These outrageous remarks are chilling.

Qi Tongwei's face turned completely dark.

Goodness, not only are the gods not enough, but even the God of Love has been dragged into this mess.

Seeing Qi Tongwei's unpleasant expression, Ding Yizhen became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.

"Governor Qi, I'm not lying! I've had bad luck these past few years, and everything has gone wrong!"

Running away was not my choice; it was fate that I couldn't defy!

It was God who notified me!

Blaming everything on fate, that's something else.

Du Cheng was both amused and exasperated. "Old man, you've really taken shamelessness to a whole new level."

If they had used even half their brains to get things done, they wouldn't be in this mess today.

Qi Tongwei knew perfectly well that Ding Yizhen wasn't truly insane; he was just too lucid.

Once Ding Yizhen reveals the name of the traitor, he will only die even faster.

Therefore, he would rather pretend to be crazy and talk nonsense than utter a single word.

Qi Tongwei stared at him for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Ding Yizhen, do you think you can get away with pretending to be stupid?"

"You think we can't find out just because you don't talk?"
