In the interrogation room, Yelai pressed his hand against Zhong Zhi's forehead.
"No! No!! I swear, I'll tell you everything!"
Feeling the warmth of Yelai's palm on his forehead, which was clearly thirty-six degrees, Zhong Zhi felt as if he had plunged into an ice cave. His emotions crumbled like a dam breaking at that moment.
He could no longer afford to be stubborn or try to trick Yelai.
"What do you want to ask me? I will answer! Please, just don’t touch me, don’t touch me!"
Fearing that Yelai would drag him back into an endless abyss of terror, Zhong Zhi hurriedly responded, his words tumbling out in a panic.
Outside the cell, Captain Wu wore a strange expression.
He listened intently to the commotion inside the cell and found Zhong Zhi's words odd—he sounded like a woman who had been assaulted, pleading not to be touched.
Inside the cell, seeing Zhong Zhi in a state of frantic pleading, Yelai leaned closer to him, yet his hand remained on Zhong Zhi's forehead.
"Tell me, who sent you to harm me?"
"It was the family from the Numbered Protection Zone."
Zhong Zhi answered rapidly, as if he were a machine programmed to divulge information without hesitation.
"I committed murder and should have been executed, but because I have Eyeballs, the people from the Numbered Protection Zone wanted to keep me alive. The family then suggested exiling me to the Numbered Protection Zone. Before my exile, they approached me and asked me to monitor you—if you revived..."
"...then they would kill me, right?" Yelai interjected for him.
Zhong Zhi nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes! They said that as long as I killed you, they could use their connections to bring me back to the Numbered Protection Zone."
Yelai squinted at this revelation.
"Which family member wants me dead? Why do they want me dead? Is it because of my girlfriend, Luo Zhenxue?"
"I don’t know," Zhong Zhi replied, his face filled with fear as he felt tears welling up in his eyes upon seeing Yelai's menacing gaze.
I really don't know. I'm just Rank Four. If it weren't for the Eyeballs, I wouldn't even catch the attention of the family.
All I know is that before my exile, I was sought out by Kang Yanlin, but whether she intentionally led the Anomalous Entity to kill you three years ago, I have no idea.
"Kang Yanlin?" Yelai raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it Kong Yanming?"
He didn't know who Kang Yanlin was. He only knew Kong Yanming; she was the one who invited Luo Zhenxue to the Numbered Protection Zone. He remembered that there was no one else with her at that time.
What is the relationship between Kong Yanming and Kang Yanlin?
Cousins. Kang Yanlin is the younger sister, and Kong Yanming is the older sister.
"Did Kong Yanming send Kang Yanlin to contact you?" Yelai voiced his speculation.
And in the next moment, Zhong Zhi shook his head like a rattle drum.
It couldn't be Kong Yanming's orders. The entire Numbered Protection Zone knows that Kong Yanming and Kang Yanlin are at odds, practically wanting to kill each other. While they are indeed both part of the family, they belong to different factions within it.
So if Kong Yanming were behind this, she wouldn't have sent Kang Yanlin to reach out to me.
A relationship similar to that of enemies?
Yelai frowned. It didn't make sense that Kong Yanming was the one who came to invite Luo Zhenxue if Kang Yanlin and Kong Yanming were sworn enemies. Kang Yanlin had no obligation to harm him.
After all, Luo Zhenxue cares about him. If he died, Luo Zhenxue would have no reason to stay in the Numbered Protection Zone, which would indirectly help Kong Yanming.
Thinking of this, Yelai felt uncertain but could confirm one thing: at least one person who wanted him dead was Kang Yanlin.
As for Kong Yanming, it's not ruled out that she was responsible for his death three years ago. After all, there is currently no evidence proving that the person who killed him three years ago and the one who ordered Zhong Zhi to kill others are the same mastermind.
But why does Kang Yanlin want me dead? Yelai murmured in confusion: Is it for Zhenxue?
With this doubt in mind, he asked Zhong Zhi about the relationship between Kang Yanlin and Zhenxue.
"There’s no connection at all. I've been inquiring about the Numbered Protection Zone for years, and Luo Zhenxue isn't familiar with Kang Yanlin; they probably haven't met more than a few times."
"What about the faction that Kang Yanlin belongs to? How does it relate to Zhenxue?"
"The relationship isn't significant either."
"Are you sure?"
"I’m about seventy to eighty percent certain. Really, Luo Zhenxue is a well-known figure in the Numbered Protection Zone. For most of the past three years, she has been away, and whenever she returns to the Numbered Protection Zone, almost everyone knows her."
Yelai's brows furrowed even tighter.
