Chen Haoxuan placed the items into a medical kit and brought it back to the police station. Once again in the interrogation room, he opened the kit and set it down about a meter in front of Number Four. With a sly smile, he said to Number Four, "I know you're feeling suicidal right now, so I've prepared these items for you. Later, when I remove the cloth from your mouth, if you bite your tongue to death, I will use these items to bring you back to life. Trust me, you can survive without a tongue. If you're smart, I advise you not to do something so foolish. The pain of dying without actually dying is not a pleasant experience."
"If you're afraid that after telling me the truth I'll let you go and you don't have confidence in surviving outside, I can offer you two options. The first is that I'll secretly take you for plastic surgery; as long as you are careful, your companions will find it hard to locate you. The second is that I'll give you a knife so you can die quickly and painlessly without enduring any torture."
Number Four showed a conflicted expression. He seriously considered Chen Haoxuan's words and looked at the medical kit a meter away from him. He hesitated to bite his tongue because even if he did, he might not die. What could he do to ensure his death?
"Tell me your purpose? I will give you a quick end," Chen Haoxuan said again.
Number Four nodded twice and made muffled sounds.
Chen Haoxuan stepped closer to Number Four and grabbed the corner of the cloth covering his mouth. Coldly, he said, "If you dare bite your tongue, I will save you and make sure you experience the torture devices of China." After warning him, Chen Haoxuan tore off the cloth from Number Four's mouth.
"Our purpose is to make you serve our country. Killing you is because you refuse to serve us; this answer should satisfy you!" Number Four replied in English.
"Who sent you?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
"It was a woman. I've already told you enough; just give me an end!" Number Four sighed, clearly wanting nothing more than to die.
"I'm not satisfied with your answer. If you want a quick release, tell me all your secrets," Chen Haoxuan said sternly.
Knock knock knock... At that moment, there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Li De shouted.
"Director, it's Xiao Zhang. I've brought coffee for you," came the voice of Li Xiaozhang from outside.
Feeling a bit thirsty, Li De went over to open the door.
"Director, this is the coffee you usually drink," Xiao Zhang said with a flattering smile.
Li De took the tray and smiled at Xiao Zhang, saying, "Thank you! You can get back to work now; we still have an interrogation going on!"
"Director, take your time with the interrogation; I'll head back to work now." Xiao Zhang's smile looked genuinely happy.
After closing the door again, Li De didn't notice that as soon as he shut it, Xiao Zhang quickly walked away and then sped off on a motorcycle.
In the interrogation room, Li De smiled at Chen Haoxuan, saying, "Haoxuan, why not have some coffee before we continue?"
"Don't drink it yet, let me check if it's poisoned first," Chen Haoxuan said.
He picked up a cup of coffee and sniffed it, then did the same with the other two cups. "It's fine, you can drink it," Chen Haoxuan said, and finished one cup of coffee in one go.
Chen Haoxuan brought another cup of coffee to Number Four and asked, "Do you want to drink?"
"Yes, I'm really thirsty right now. If you let me have a cup, I'll tell you a major secret," Number Four seemed genuinely eager to drink the coffee.
Chen Haoxuan helped Number Four finish a cup of coffee. As soon as the coffee was finished, Number Four suddenly laughed maniacally, "Hahaha... You fell for it! You Chinese people are so foolish, selling out your good friends and your own country for money. Hahaha..."
Hearing Number Four's words, Chen Haoxuan seemed to realize something. He grabbed Number Four by the collar and coldly asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"I might as well tell you now. The coffee you drank contains a tasteless and colorless poison. Without the coffee, it's harmless, but just a tiny amount mixed with coffee turns it into a lethal poison that cannot be cured. Anyone who ingests this poison won't survive for half an hour. Now that we've all had the coffee, let's go to hell together! Hahaha..." Number Four laughed gleefully.
Without Chen Haoxuan needing to say anything, Li De spat out the sip of coffee he hadn't swallowed.
"You didn't drink it, did you?" Chen Haoxuan asked Li De with concern.
Li De grimaced and said, "I took a sip, and you drank a whole cup. We're doomed."
"Let's go to the hospital right now," Chen Haoxuan said.
Chen Haoxuan and Li De hurried outside. As they left, Chen Haoxuan locked the interrogation room tightly and called two police officers to watch over the door. "Ma Xiong Jian, damn it, come out quickly! Go catch Xiao Zhang; he's been bribed by an assassin and just poisoned us!" Chen Haoxuan shouted loudly.
"Xiao Zhang, has anyone seen Xiao Zhang?" Ma Xiong Jian shouted to his colleagues.
"No."
"I saw him; he just rushed out on his motorcycle," said an officer wearing glasses.
"Hurry up and chase him! He's been bought off by an assassin; he just poisoned our director and Chen Haoxuan!" Ma Xiong Jian said anxiously.
When Chen Haoxuan and Li De arrived at the hospital next to the police station, Li De's face had already turned slightly dark; it seemed he was indeed poisoned. The best way to treat poisoning is gastric lavage. Li De kept drinking some strange liquid and then vomiting it out.
Chen Haoxuan felt strange; it seemed he had not been poisoned, as his body showed no signs of discomfort. "Could it be that I drank the one that was harmless?" Chen Haoxuan thought to himself.
He saw that Li De still had the strength to vomit, believing that Li De would not be in any immediate danger. He quickly made his way to the police station. Upon entering the interrogation room, he discovered that Number Four was already dead, his body completely blackened, clearly a victim of poisoning.
Chen Haoxuan took the cups they had just used to drink coffee to the hospital, wanting the doctor to test for poison.
Before the test results came back, Li De's condition had improved significantly, indicating that the poison was not as potent as Number Four had claimed.
Chen Haoxuan sat by Li De's hospital bed and said, "Number Four died from poisoning."
"Well, he's dead now. But Haoxuan, I find it strange. I clearly saw you drink an entire cup of coffee. How come you're fine?" Li De asked curiously.
"Maybe I just happened to drink the one that was harmless!" Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
At 2 PM, Li De's attending physician entered the room and handed a stack of papers to Chen Haoxuan. "Mr. Chen, we have tested all three cups of coffee. They all contained the same poison, which is quite potent. However, if the dosage is low and treated promptly, there is no life-threatening danger, just like with the director."
"Wait... all three cups were poisoned? Then why am I fine after drinking one? Am I immune to all poisons?" Chen Haoxuan muttered to himself.
