I'll give my daughter one more second.

"In that case, I have a plan. We can just 'interrogate' Yun Ying to find out everything, and then ask her to help Sister Zi wake up. That way, even if Yun Ying really escapes when we're not paying attention, at least we'll know the whole story." Yueyin covered her mouth and grinned mischievously.

"So good."

I think it's OK!

Everyone looked at each other, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Huh? Huh? What the hell is torture?" Yun Ying looked around in a panic.

"Pfft, the more you confess, the harsher the punishment; if you resist, the harsher the punishment. I suggest Yunying be honest with us as soon as possible."

"No, isn't it supposed to be lenient for those who confess and severe for those who resist?" Yun Ying swallowed nervously and asked timidly.

"I'm sorry, the word 'leniency' doesn't exist in Yueyin's dictionary. But Yunying, if you confess sooner, you can suffer less 'torture,' after all, I'm not some kind of evil spirit."

"Waaaah! Yueyin, you still say you're not an evil spirit!" Yunying was on the verge of tears.

"Father, may I be given full authority to interrogate Yunying?" Yueyin turned around and asked with a smile.

"Don't let anyone die," Wu Shen said, feigning seriousness.

"Don't worry, Father. How could I bear to bully such a cute little sister?" Yueyin's face showed a happy expression.

"Eh!? Daddy, you're messing with me!" Yun Ying cried out in a panic, completely at a loss.

"I'm sorry, Yunying, even your father can't do anything about Yueyin. You should confess as soon as possible. It's better for everyone. I don't want to see you suffer like this, Yunying." Wu Shen pretended to feel sorry for her and turned his head away.

"Alright, alright, you can scream your lungs out, even Father can't save you. Guards, bring on the torture!" Yueyin waved her hand and gave a signal to the crowd.

"W-What kind of severe punishment?"

Yun Ying frantically looked around. She noticed that as soon as Yue Yin finished speaking, everyone scattered and lined up in two rows, leaving only her grandmother "imprisoning" her. Yue Yin was sitting high up on the coffee table and sofa facing Yun Ying, with Wu Shen standing behind her, his hands behind his back and his expression extremely serious.

The entire room seemed to have suddenly transformed into a trial court.

Yueyin called Qianhui over and whispered a few words in her ear. Then Wu Shen and Qianhui ran to the kitchen together to do something.

Yunying could only hear the harsh sound of sharpening knives coming from the kitchen, as if people outside were preparing murder weapons.

"Waaah, are they planning to take advantage of Yun Ying?" Yun Ying thought to herself, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Yun Ying, do you know your crime? Why don't you confess immediately?"

"You...you can't treat me like this! I did this for everyone's happiness! I protest! I'm going to sue Tsukine."

"How dare you! Who among you dares to accuse me?" Yueyin smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Waaaaah, you guys are cheating..."

Just as Yunying was anxiously waiting for the so-called "torture," Qianhui hurriedly ran out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

"Yueyin, as you said, the torture is ready." After Qianhui finished speaking, the kitchen door was fully opened, and Wu Shen and Qianhui brought out one dish after another and placed them on the coffee table.

Yun Ying stared intently at the delicious food on the table. The enticing aroma wafted towards her, making her involuntarily drool.

"How's it going? You've had a long day and haven't had time to eat yet, have you? If you tell us the reason why you did those things, you can enjoy all this delicious food as you please," Yueyin said with a smile, resting her chin on her hands.

"What do you take me for? I, Yun Ying, am a dignified woman of seven feet tall. I will never bow down for five pecks of rice!" Yun Ying's eyes darted around, and she stubbornly turned her face away, refusing to look at the abundant dishes again.

[Adding yesterday's first chapter, three chapters to go, progress (1/4)]

Chapter 1006 Asking Grandpa to Take Action

"I, Yun Ying, a dignified seven-foot-tall woman, will never bow down for five pecks of rice!"

"So you'd confess after six bushels of rice?" Yueyin said, stroking her chin.

"That's not what I meant at all! No amount of money can make me bow down, hmph!"

Yunying pouted and stubbornly stuck out her soft, pink tongue at Yueyin, making a face.

"Really? That's a real shame. It's such a waste that Father and Chie have prepared so much delicious food. It would be a waste if you, Yunying, didn't eat it." Yueyin sighed deeply with regret.

"If you just let me eat some, I'd be happy to help..."

Although Yunying tried to hold her breath to suppress her appetite, the rich aroma still rushed into her little nose. Because she had been busy all night and hadn't eaten, her stomach started growling under the stimulation of the aroma.

"There's no other way, it seems we'll have to let others eat. Grandma, Wuyi, Yuyin, and everyone else, let's all start eating. Only when we're full will we have the energy and spirit to continue 'interrogating' Yunying."

"Wow, what a wonderful lunch!"

The others didn't stand on ceremony either, and all came to sit down at the coffee table, starting to eat heartily in front of Yun Ying.

"Mmm, very good. You've already inherited five-tenths of my skills. You're truly a promising young talent." Aunt Wu took a bite and then gave Qianhui a thumbs up.

"I have a feeling that if things continue like this, Chie will soon surpass my cooking skills," Wu Shen said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true. Cooking skills largely depend on practice makes perfect; it's one of the few professions where diligence can compensate for lack of talent. Son, after you get married, you'll be preparing three meals a day for so many people, so your cooking skills might actually improve even more."

"One, two, three..." After saying that, Aunt Wu started gesturing the numbers with her fingers.

"Mom, what are you counting?" Wu Shen asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just calculating how many people's worth of food you'll be cooking each day. Keep it up, son! Cook dozens of dishes every day, and one day you might even surpass me!"

"Sorry to bother you..." Wu Shen turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait! Son! Where are you going?!"

"Nothing, I just want to find Nanami and get Chie made as soon as possible," Wu Shen thought to himself.

"Ahem, I guess I'll pass. How can I let Chie help out at home at such a young age? I guess I'll just do it myself." Wu Shen thought for a moment and muttered to himself.

"Dad, it's okay. Cooking is my hobby, please let me help." Chie raised her little hand high and volunteered to come forward.

"Chie is so good! Waaah, how did Nanami raise such a little angel? I must learn from her sometime. As an educator, I still have so many shortcomings." Wu Shen patted Chie's little head with satisfaction.

"Daddy, I'll help too. I'll share your burden."

Ye Ge, who was eating the little hand, saw Wu Shen praising Qian Hui and took the initiative to come out.

"Uh... Night Song, your intention is enough, really." Wu Shen said with a wry smile.

For the sake of her family's safety, it's best to keep Ye Ge, a master of disastrous cooking, away from the kitchen.

"Mom, Ye Ge's cooking skills are basically at the level of a culinary disaster. Do you have any way to help her correct them?" Wu Shen asked his mother in a low voice.

Wu Shen always felt that if Ye Ge received more education when she was young, there might still be a chance for her to master basic cooking skills.

"The level of the dark cuisine world? I once fought a battle with them myself. Son, I suggest you give up on this. From what I understand and have observed, once you enter the world of dark cuisine, there's no going back in this lifetime."

Aunt Wu patted Wu Shen on the shoulder and sighed helplessly: "The level of 'dark cuisine' is less about not knowing how to cook and more about it being an established concept. Your father even analyzed the ingredients of dark cuisine and actually extracted dozens of chemical substances and mysterious energies that have never been discovered in modern times."

While Wu Ma and Wu Shen were chatting, the others finished cleaning up the food and patted their bulging bellies with satisfaction.

"Phew, this tastes amazing. I'm so lucky that Dad and Chie are such culinary experts," Mai said happily, patting her bulging little belly.

"Is it really okay if we don't give Yunying any food?" Qianhui glanced at Yunying secretly and asked with some concern.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Our intention was to help Yunying, but if she doesn't say anything, there's nothing we can do." Yuyin finished clearing away the dishes, her expression full of helplessness.

"Why is this happening? They're clearly willing to sacrifice themselves, yet they're still unwilling to reveal the truth. I really can't figure out why."

Wei Ling lay on the table, watching Yun Ying intently while complaining.

"There's no way around it. It seems like luring people in with food alone won't work. I guess I'll have to try something a bit more intense," Yueyin said thoughtfully.

"Hey...you're not really planning to torture her, are you? I strongly protest, that's putting the cart before the horse! We're doing this to help Yunying."

Chie expressed her concerns, and the other lolis nodded in agreement.

"You've misunderstood. No matter what I say, I would never lay a hand on my own sister." Yueyin shook her head decisively.

"So what do you mean by 'heavy taste'?"

"Yago, I grant you permission to go to the kitchen and cook a dish. Since even Dad and Chie's efforts aren't enough, we'll have to rely on the food to make it even more intimidating!"

"Great! I can finally go into the kitchen!" Ye Ge clapped her hands, looking very excited at the prospect of being able to enter the kitchen.

Tsukine's explosive remark instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Yueyin, you big devil! You big demon! You big devil king! Waaah!" Yunying saw Yege skipping into the kitchen and heard the clattering of pots and pans coming from inside. Her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Tsukine is really cute, looks like we shouldn't mess with her." Several lolis whispered among themselves.

"Huh? Father, what are you doing?" The observant Yu Yin looked around and suddenly noticed that Wu Shen had retreated outside the living room and was making a phone call.

“Call for backup. I don’t think even the worst cooking can get Yunying to talk. For something this important, I want to ask Dad for his opinion,” Wu Shen said.

[Progress 2/6. Something came up yesterday, so I wasn't feeling great. I still have four chapters to go, I'll finish them today. lol]

Chapter 1007 Daughter's Answer

While his daughters ganged up to "interrogate" Yunying, Wu Shen did not give up thinking.

They'd tried everything—food temptations, tickling torture, massage—but nothing worked. Yun Ying seemed determined not to reveal the truth, no matter what temptation she faced.

They wouldn't even lay a heavy hand on their own daughter, so how could they possibly employ any effective interrogation methods? Even if the seduction worked to some extent, it's possible that Yun Ying pretended to back down and then gave them a bunch of false information to confuse everyone's judgment.

If possible, the safest outcome Wu Shen hopes to see is Yun Ying sincerely and proactively confessing what happened in the past that led to the current situation.

So after much consideration, when everyone was at a loss, Wu Shen decided to consult the family's top strategist.

So while Yueyin and the others were preparing their culinary disaster plan, Wu Shen discussed it with his mother and then quietly slipped away to make a phone call to his father.

After a series of beeping sounds, the call was connected.

"Hello, Dad? I have something very important to discuss with you." Wu Shen's voice and expression involuntarily became serious.

"Did your granddaughter escape, or was the arrest plan successful but you couldn't get the cause of the incident out of her?" Wu's father's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

For some reason, just hearing such a calm and composed voice made Wu Shen, who was originally feeling a little anxious, calm down a bit.
