Ye Qiu slowly set down her phone, ending the tense call that had left her heart racing.
A heavy pressure surged within her, making her already weary face appear even more haggard.
The sudden appearance of the mysterious figure was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the tranquility and stirring the situation into an increasingly perplexing state.
Now, Ye Qiu found herself besieged on all sides.
On one hand, she had to remain vigilant against potential terrorist attacks from the Xuanming Sect; a moment's carelessness could plunge her into an irretrievable abyss.
On the other hand, Uncle Wang had been missing for days, and each passing moment heightened her anxiety.
The most challenging task, however, was to uncover the true identity of the mysterious person and their hidden motives.
With such a heavy and daunting burden piled upon her, even Ye Qiu felt overwhelmed despite her capabilities.
"Why does this mysterious person want to use Uncle Wang's whereabouts as leverage to exchange for Li Wenxuan?" Ye Qiu furrowed her brow, murmuring to herself, her voice tinged with deep confusion and uncertainty.
"What crucial value does Li Wenxuan hold for the Xuanming Sect?"
Beside her, Su Mu rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a long while before speaking. "Perhaps Li Wenxuan knows certain secrets about the Xuanming Sect that are not meant to be revealed. The mysterious person fears that if Li Wenxuan falls into our hands, he might disclose everything, leading to their downfall. That's why they are willing to go to any lengths to rescue him."
Ye Qiu nodded thoughtfully in response. "You make a valid point. It seems we indeed need to carefully re-examine Li Wenxuan's case and dig deeper for any clues that might be hidden within it, hoping to extract more critical leads from him."
With that, her gaze grew more resolute, as if she was ready to face the challenges ahead.
Ye Qiu made a swift decision and quickly mobilized personnel to launch an intense and thorough interrogation operation focused on Li Wenxuan.
However, no matter how earnestly the police questioned him, Li Wenxuan remained as tight-lipped as a statue, refusing to utter a single word.
"This Li Wenxuan is truly a tough nut to crack!" Captain Zhao exclaimed in frustration, stamping his foot and shouting angrily, "At this rate, we might have to resort to extreme measures to pry open his mouth!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu quickly waved his hand and replied with a serious expression, "Absolutely not. We must not use any form of violence against him. If he indeed knows certain confidential matters regarding the Xuanming Sect, and we recklessly resort to brutality, it could very well lead him to remain completely silent. In that case, we might miss out on the truth forever and never uncover the mystery."
"That won't work, and neither will that. So what are we supposed to do?" Captain Zhao asked with a furrowed brow and a worried expression.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qiu slowly suggested, "How about we try a different approach? We could look for breakthroughs through his family. Perhaps we can leverage the influence of his relatives to persuade him, encouraging him to willingly confess everything."
Without hesitation, Ye Qiu issued orders to deploy personnel for a thorough investigation into Li Wenxuan's family members.
Before long, an important piece of information surfaced—Li Wenxuan's mother had unfortunately fallen seriously ill and was currently lying in a hospital bed undergoing difficult treatment.
"Perhaps we can start from here," Ye Qiu said. "We can arrange for Li Wenxuan to meet with his mother. The power of familial bonds might change his mind."
Ye Qiu carefully assisted Li Wenxuan's frail mother, whose complexion was as pale as paper, as they slowly walked into the heavily guarded prison.
Along the way, her steps were somewhat unsteady, but her eyes sparkled with eagerness and anticipation at the thought of seeing her son.
When the heavy iron door swung open, Li Wenxuan caught sight of his mother standing at the entrance through the iron bars.
In that moment, time seemed to freeze; Li Wenxuan stood frozen in place. His mother appeared haggard; her once lustrous black hair had turned gray and thin, while deep wrinkles etched across her face resembled deep ravines.
What struck him most was her body, increasingly emaciated from suffering and her waxy complexion devoid of life.
"Mom..." Li Wenxuan's lips trembled as tears instantly blurred his vision.
He could no longer suppress the overwhelming emotions surging within him, and like a child, he began to cry uncontrollably. "Mom, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have done those illegal things, making you worry about me every day and exhausting yourself..."
His mother, enduring the discomfort brought on by her illness, slowly approached her son with unsteady steps.
She extended her hands, rough and slightly trembling, and gently caressed his tear-streaked face. With a tender voice, she said, "My child, no one is perfect; who hasn't made mistakes? Recognizing your errors and being willing to change is a great virtue. As long as you can honestly confess everything to the police and actively cooperate with the investigation, striving for leniency, that is enough for me."
Listening to his mother's heartfelt words, he felt a mix of emotions.
The once arrogant young man now felt so small and humble in the face of his mother's selfless love and forgiveness.
After a fierce internal struggle, he finally nodded in agreement, willing to heed his mother's advice.
Thus, during the subsequent interrogation, he unreservedly revealed all the secrets he knew about the Xuanming Sect.
As he spoke, a deeply hidden and large-scale criminal organization gradually came to light.
"I see!" Ye Qiu, who had been quietly listening to Li Wenxuan's confession, suddenly slammed his hand on the table in shock at a crucial moment. "I never expected that the true purpose of the Xuanming Sect was..."
The crisis in Jianghai City finally revealed a glimpse of its iceberg.
How would Ye Qiu and Captain Zhao respond to this unprecedented challenge?
