Chapter 1699 Surrender

After finishing the explanation, I walked out of the tent and ordered the guards to keep a tight watch. Except for a few top commanders, no one else was allowed to enter, including my fiancée.

The reason for this order is because of my concerns.

Although Bai Yunying turned her back on the Bai family, it didn't mean that she had no feelings for the Bai family.

The moment the head of the Bai family appeared earlier, Bai Yunying's nervousness was evidence of this.

Although there is no physical punishment at the moment, the mental torture will definitely be more painful. If Bai Yunying sees it, he will definitely feel more or less pity.

Emotions were the most taboo during the interrogation. Since I left the matter to Rhodes, I didn't want anyone else to get involved, not even the closest people.

It wasn't until night fell that Rhodes came out of the tent, came to me, bowed and handed a piece of information in front of me, and said: "Sir, my subordinate has completed the interrogation. Please review it."

After flipping through a few pages, I nodded, put the information aside, and said, "How about it? Is the interrogation difficult?"

Rhodes shook his head and said: "The interrogation is not difficult."

"Oh?" I put my hand on my chin, watching him with interest, and said, "From what you said, are there other difficulties?"

"Yes" Rhodes said seriously.

"tell me the story."

Rhodes thought for a moment and then said: "This man is just a dog who relies on power. Once he is out of the protection of his master, he will be like a bereaved dog. He will confess immediately with a little trick."

"Listen to what you said, the process of confessing is not that difficult."

"It's really not difficult to confess, it's just..."

"Just what?" I asked, "But it doesn't matter."

"Yes." Rhodes lowered his head and said, "It's just that this person's character is too fragile. If his subordinates used some tricks, he would either have a mental breakdown or fall into a coma immediately. After doing this several times, we finally got the full results."

After hearing this, I chuckled and said, "That's really hard on you."

Rhodes' expression changed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he hesitated and said, "Sir, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

"speak."

"For someone who is so servile and fawning, who respects his superiors and scolds his subordinates, I'm afraid he won't be loyal to you even if he surrenders."

"Yes, I understand." I nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You can rest now."

Rhodes' lips twitched, as if he still wanted to remonstrate, but he finally endured it and bowed: "Yes, sir."

Looking at his leaving back, I couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "You are still young."

Admittedly, Rhode's advice was correct. How could I not know that this person would not be loyal even if he was surrendered?

But I need such a chess piece. He can be placed next to people close to Simmons Locke. He can convey the half-true and half-false information we passed to him to the head of the Bai family, and then through the mouth of the head of the Bai family, tell it to Simmons Locke Listen.

The mixed true and false information is the most elusive. This can not only attract Simmons Locke's attention, but also confuse his audition to a certain extent.

And I will arrange some people to act in conjunction with the intelligence obtained by the head of the Bai family, such as secretly occupying a mine in York and Han City, sneak attack on one of his garrison, etc.

I believe that after a few incidents, the relationship between Simmons Locke and the head of the Bai family will take a further step.

Then, I will continue to arrange people to act until Simmons Locke has as much trust in the White family leader as the White family leader trusts in this chess piece, and then I will start the real plan.

But judging from Rhode's disdainful attitude, I'm afraid he didn't follow my arrangements.

Is it really necessary to keep such a subordinate?

I fiddled with the call crystal in my hand and quietly stared at the item in the Moonlight City Adventurer Base, thinking deeply.

Rhodes is an outstanding young man, and being able to be assigned by the boss of Rennes to come to Cyber ​​City to manage affairs shows that his strength and ability are both excellent.

But such an outstanding young man was disobedient.

Should I give someone like this a chance?

Or.

After thinking for a long time, I pressed the call crystal at the Moonlight City Adventurer Base.

Ten minutes later, Boss Ren, who was called by the staff, answered the call.

"I'm Ren, who are you?"

"I'm An Xiaoyi."

"What are your orders?" Boss Ren's voice was low and slow.

"That boy named Rhodes."

"Rhodes?" Boss Ren said: "I know, I will arrange him to manage the branch work in Dashai City."

"Yes, he is an outstanding young man." I nodded, exhaled slightly, and said, "He just has a very straightforward personality. Please tell him something about him when you have time."

After a long silence, Boss Ren said: "Did he offend you?"

"No offense at all," I said, "I just hope he can obey orders in the future. If you have any questions, you can ask them after completing the task."

"I understand," Boss Ren said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry that I made you feel unhappy because of my poor teaching."

"No displeasure," I said slowly, "You taught them very well, but they are not ordinary teenagers, and they cannot do anything willfully."

"Yes, I understand," Boss Rennes apologized again.

After that, the call was disconnected.

Staring at the shining call crystal in my hand, I murmured: "I still haven't made up my mind, so let's give him another chance."

After dinner, I stepped into the temporary detention tent again and sat across from the Bai family members.

At this time, the Bai family members had regained a lot of energy, but most of the food that had been delivered earlier was left on the plates.

"Not to your liking?" I smiled softly and said, "It's no wonder. When we are marching and fighting, a lot of food is about quantity rather than quality. As long as you can eat enough, who cares about whether it is delicacies from mountains and seas, fine wine and nectar? At this point, , it’s really hard for you.”

The Bai family members remained silent, their eyes no longer filled with anger, but with fear and shrinkage.

Glancing at him, I continued: "When I sent my subordinates to question you earlier, it was just a matter of routine. I apologize for any offence."

"Then that's not interrogation at all, that's torture, it's torture!" The Bai family members trembled all over and lost their voices: "It's deeper than the bottomless prison of York and Seoul, and more torturous than the bone-chilling waterboarding!"

"No, no, no, that's just a routine interrogation. Real torture and torture are much more terrifying than this." I shook my head and said, "Okay, let's get back to business. I'm here because I have something to ask you."

"Just tell me, no matter what I can do, I will definitely help you complete it. I just ask you not to let me suffer that kind of soul-deep torture again."

"Okay, I promise you, you will not be tortured again," I said, "and I only have one condition, surrender to me and be my insider."

"What?" The Bai family members looked confused.

I understand his surprise.

How could someone who almost killed him before be so quick to recruit him surrender in the blink of an eye? Aren't they afraid that he would betray him?
