Chapter 182 Wen Shilin's Conflict
"No! I didn't lie!" Ah Cheng struggled frantically with the chains, "Everything I said is true!"
Chen Ling grabbed Ah Cheng's neck, and his five fingers gradually exerted force, as if he wanted to strangle him to death here. At the same time, the grim voice sounded again:
"What do you have to prove it?"
"I..." Ah Cheng's voice was strangled, "I put it in the drawer of the newspaper's workstation... and I also made a handwritten backup... I really put the original at the docking place... I don't know anything else..."
Chen Ling's eyebrows rose slightly.
Of course he didn't know what the original was, nor did he know where the docking place he mentioned was, but it didn't matter anymore. If that [Tan Xin] really sent someone to make the connection, the original would have been taken away long ago.
However, this Ah Cheng also made a handwritten backup and kept it, and it was at the newspaper's workstation, which was really worth pondering... It seems that this kid is not so loyal to the forces behind him?
Yes, if he was really loyal, he wouldn't confess so casually.
After getting the location of the backup, Chen Ling relaxed a little and spoke slowly:
"What is the 'Hand of Redemption' plan?"
Chen Ling didn't know what the "Hand of Redemption" plan was, but judging from Wen Shilin's reaction, it seemed to be a very confidential information.
When he heard this question, Ah Cheng was stunned, and then he seemed to think of something and spoke in surprise:
"No... No! You are not the commander [Tan Xin]'s people! Who are you?!"
Ah Cheng's heart instantly fell to the bottom. He never expected that the other party would pretend to be [Tan Xin]'s people to deceive him. No wonder they said that they didn't find the original, and he was indeed fooled, and even exposed the backup he kept... At this moment, he knew he was finished.
But he still didn't understand, which force would do such a thing? Would they be interested in the "Hand of Redemption"?
"Does it matter?" Chen Ling sneered, "You have no other choice now, either tell me or... die."
Since he knew that Ah Cheng was not completely loyal, and Chen Ling really didn't want to play word games with him anymore, he simply laid his cards on the table and put the muzzle of the gun against Ah Cheng's forehead.
Ah Cheng's face was pale under the bag, and he gritted his teeth and struggled for a long time before he spoke with difficulty:
"I don't know..."
Chen Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was about to pull the trigger, but Ah Cheng continued: "The confidentiality level of this plan is too high. It is said that even among the high-level law enforcement officers, no more than five people have the right to know about this plan... I was just an undercover sent to ambush Wen Shilin, how could I know the specific content of this plan?"
"According to you, the level of the 'Hand of Redemption' plan is so high, how did Wen Shilin, a reporter, know about it?"
"I don't know the specific details, I hadn't lurked around him at the time... He spent several months investigating this The plan was interrupted several times in the middle, and only some fragmentary clues were found, all in those articles...
What I remember most clearly is that the 'Hand of Redemption' is suspected to be related to the fate of the entire human race in the Aurora Realm... and will bring us redemption.
I just got the article yesterday, and that's all I know. I really don't know the rest. "
Acheng's tone was extremely sincere. Since he knew that Chen Ling was not a member of [Tan Xin], his tone was obviously extremely humble. He knew that his life and death were no longer controlled by himself or the forces behind him.
Related to the fate of the entire human race in the Aurora Realm?
Hearing this, Chen Ling's heart moved... Could it be Aurora Lord? Or is it related to the frozen sea disasters outside the city? Or is there any killer hidden in Aurora City?
Chen Ling changed the way of threatening several times, but Acheng still didn't give more useful clues. He knew that there would be no gain from asking further, so he simply gave up forcing a confession.
He looked at Acheng, who was still struggling in the black bag, and gently pulled the trigger.
A minute later, the hum of the machines in the factory slowly stopped. Chen Ling pushed open the silent factory door, and a gust of cold wind blew away the faint bloody smell in the factory.
"This Wen Shilin is really interesting."
He seemed to have thought of something, chuckled, and his figure gradually disappeared at the end of the wilderness.
...
Wen Shilin couldn't sleep.
In the cramped room of more than ten square meters, he tossed and turned on the bed. Every time he closed his eyes, Chen Ling's calm and silent face appeared in his mind, and what came to his ears were the whistling of fists breaking through the air.
Wen Shilin didn't know what was going on with him. The last time he had this situation was when he was in school and had just started to fall in love, he met a girl he shouldn't have met... But this time it happened to be a man. Of course, he knew that he didn't have that kind of strange habit, but Chen Ling left him with a deep impression.
At more than three o'clock in the morning, Wen Shilin still couldn't sleep. He simply got up and sat at the small table, lit the kerosene lamp in the corner, and prepared to start recording his experience today.
But he was always absent-minded, and he would unconsciously daydream while recording, and he stopped several times in the middle. Wen Shilin was silent for a long time, but he sighed and took out the photo from the file bag.
The dim candlelight illuminated the sentence "Who stole your heart?" If you look closely, you can see hatred everywhere in the writing, which is shocking.
This thing seems to be one of the sources of his trance...
Wen Shilin turned over the photo, looked at the unfamiliar face of the boy, and stared at the table in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, he took out a piece of white paper from the side and copied down the sentence on the back of the photo. Then his thoughts began to extend continuously, and one after another with question marks were connected in series, the most important of which were words like "heart", "organ", "hospital", "organ trade?"
For some reason, Wen Shilin's curiosity about this matter was almost bursting. He immersed himself in guessing all the meanings of this sentence. When he came to his senses, the sky outside had already brightened.
Wen Shilin sat at the table blankly, looking at the rising sun in the corner, feeling empty in his heart...
His eyes fell on the file bag containing the job application information, and a strong impulse surged in his heart. He stuffed the photo back into the file bag, then hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out the door facing the rising sun.
He wanted to see Chen Ling again! There were some things he had to ask.
He knew that maybe Chen Ling didn't want to see him at the moment, but the lost file bag was a good excuse.
As for how to find Chen Ling... Chen Ling had already given the answer "inadvertently".
He would go to Dr. Chu to treat his wounds. With his injuries, he probably couldn't leave the clinic in a short time... So, as long as he went to Dr. Chu's clinic, he would definitely find Chen Ling!
