Volume 9: Molten Mine Chapter 438: Incorrigible
"What? You won't cry until you see the coffin, but now you are willing to tell me?" Ke Lan said with a sneer.
"You...you are abusing lynching. If the people above knew about this...you..."
"Lynching? I suddenly want to knock your skull open to see if there's brains or tofu dregs inside... Don't forget, if we hadn't risked our lives to get the lifeboat back, you, Dr. Park Sang-woo, would have died long ago. Of course, it's not too late to die now, after all, everyone else is dead, one more and one less won't make a difference. Anyway, there's no evidence, right?"
"Wait... That's not what I meant... I, I... I do know something about the earthquake, but it involves the Ark's top secrets. If I tell you, you will be taken under control by the Security Bureau as soon as you return."
"Being controlled by the Security Bureau?" Ke Lan smiled, "But now the head of the Security Bureau's field team is standing next to me."
"I'm not lying to you, really!" Park Sangyou was immediately anxious, "Really, let alone the leader of a field team, even the director of the Security Bureau has no right to know these things - the people in the Security Bureau are only responsible for doing the work, but they know exactly what they are doing. If you don't believe me, ask the agent leader next to you if he knows about the top secrets of the Molten Mine!"
"Okay, stop talking. I believe you." Ke Lan suddenly laughed. "The director of the Security Bureau really didn't know. I can testify for him."
"Huh? What did you say?" This time, it was Park Sang-woo who was confused.
The other party's sudden braking and 180-degree drift really left him with little time to react... However, since this person was willing to believe in him, that was naturally the best thing: "In that case, then listen to me and quickly evacuate everyone from the mining area. It will be too late if you are late! As for the things you mentioned, I will submit a detailed report to the relevant person in charge after I return to the Ark... Even if something goes wrong, you don't have to bear any responsibility."
"I'm afraid that won't work." Ke Lan suddenly lowered his voice and then threw out a trump card.
"We haven't seen 'Aguna Kotor' yet ..."
Checkmate!
Park Sangyou's eyes widened instantly, and he stammered for a long time before squeezing out a broken sentence: "You...you know...you know...what?"
"I don't know much, so I have to ask you." Ke Lan continued.
Of course, he would not tell Park Sang-woo that he only knew the name "Yaguna Kotor". No matter what Park Sang-woo said next, Ke Lan would not make any clear statement. Only in this way could he force the other party to spit out more information.
The premise of bluffing is that you cannot let the other party know your cards.
"This... this is top secret, how did you know?!" There was a slight tremor in Park Sang-woo's voice.
"Dr. Park Sang-woo, please make clear the current situation. You are the one being interrogated, not me. Please don't take the initiative. You're making it very difficult for me." Ke Lan said in a deliberately drawn-out voice.
"I... I can't say it." Park Sangyou hesitated for a while, then as if he had made up his mind, he closed his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "I don't care how much you know, but as long as it is related to this matter, I won't say a word... Please... please don't force me anymore."
"You're not afraid now? Then I'll ask the doctor to push the medicine in..."
"Even if you kill me, I won't tell you." Park Sangyou said with his eyes tightly closed, "If you want to do it, please do it."
"...So loyal?" Ke Lan looked at him with some surprise. "Tell us all these things. At worst, we will be silenced by the people above us when we return. If we are held accountable, we will definitely bear the main responsibility. We will die anyway, so why are you doing this?"
“…”
"Are you worried that they will use your wife and children as a threat?"
“…”
"If you don't answer, I'll take it as your consent."
"...Yes, if I die here and can keep them safe, I will accept it." Park Sangyou said.
"The truth may be cruel, but I still have to say it - your wife, Maeda Natsuki, is actually an agent of the Security Bureau. She 'resigned' from the Security Bureau on the day your application for naturalization was approved. Then, she came to your side by 'chance'... Have you ever thought that whether it is love at first sight or passionate love, it is all a prearranged play. The woman who sleeps with you every day is actually a professional agent who kills without blinking an eye, and her mission is to monitor your actions at all times?"
Ke Lan pressed on step by step - if she wanted to pry open this man's mouth, she had to break down his psychological defenses first.
"Your parents are both dead, and you have no other relatives on the Ark. You were bullied by your classmates in school and have no friends. Your interpersonal relationships are even worse after you started working... Apart from her, there should be no one else in this world that you care about. But even your beloved wife is just a chess piece that was arranged."
"If you don't believe me, I can show you the internal files of the Security Bureau. Those files have anti-counterfeiting codes and cannot be forged."
"It's funny and sad, isn't it?"
"Even so, do you still have to sacrifice yourself to protect her?"
"Perhaps this is just one of countless tasks for her... Perhaps she has long been tired of being with you."
"Her smile to you might be fake, her kindness to you might also be fake, even her silly look during the doi (to prevent 404 errors, those who understand will understand, if you don't understand, just search on Baidu), might also be fake - oh, this might be true, after all, you are also an enhanced person, your ability in that area should not be weak..."
Ke Lan spoke one sentence after another, and he spoke very slowly. Each of these words was like a blunt knife, enough to cut a person's heart into a bloody mess.
Shrimp must be cooked with pig heart, this is what Ke Lan learned from an old movie from the old era.
But what he didn't expect was that Park Sangyou suddenly opened his eyes and said expressionlessly: "I know what you said... I know that she was sent to me, and I also know that she is a professionally trained agent..."
"But, it's true that I love her." Park Sangyou changed the subject and said, "Whether in the Ark or in the wilderness, no one has ever been so kind to me. Even if all this is pretended, even if all this is fake...but at least, the child in her belly is my child."
After saying that, Park Sangyou closed his eyes again: "If I leaked the secret, he might not have the chance to come into this world... And Zaoxi, I hope she can live a good life and not be involved in this matter again."
"Damn, the bootlicker is really awesome." The hound next to him couldn't help but complain.
"This isn't a dog-licker. This guy just lacked love since he was a child. So, as long as someone treats him well, it's easy for him to fall, even if he knows it's just a show." Ke Lan shook his head and turned off the external loudspeaker. "It seems that this trick won't work on him."
"What should we do? This guy is stubborn. We can't really kill him, right?"
