The fan at the exhaust port kept turning, and the small and oppressive room intensified the tension of the confrontation.

It has been several hours since Ai Xing was imprisoned here. Sitting in the chair for a long time made him feel restrained and uncomfortable. He asked again, "I need water."

"Let's talk about the whereabouts of the documents you stole first." The white detective behind the interrogation table clasped his knuckles on the table and stared at him without emotion.

Ai Xing's answer was as usual silent.

The two FBI agents didn't take Ai Xing seriously at first, thinking that he was just an ordinary high school student who was proficient in computers and would speak up at the slightest threat.Unexpectedly, the interrogation lasted for three and a half hours. They progressed from casual chatting at the beginning to cooperating with each other, threatening to induce confessions, and finally using their respective interrogation skills. Ai Xing never gave any clues.

Another Hispanic agent who called himself Johnny raised his hand and touched the embedded earphone. It seemed that someone was talking on the earphone, and then he stood up and walked outside.

The iron door slammed shut, leaving Ai Xing and white detective Wilson in the room.

After a few hours of observation, Ai Xing found that Wilson was more rational and restrained, more like a routine case-handling detective.Jonny, who had just left the room, had a violent and irritable air. He tried to attack Ai Xing twice during the interrogation, but was stopped by Wilson.

This may be an opportunity.Ai Xing thought to himself that he should try to defeat them one by one, so he took the initiative to say, "If you can guarantee my safety, I will consider exchanging information with you."

"Little friend, I don't think you have a clear understanding of your situation." Wilson grinned, with a few fine lines at the end of his eyes, "You were arrested for stealing state secrets, and you didn't contact us. qualifications to negotiate."

"Then maybe I can hear what aspect of the secret I leaked?" Ai Xing didn't feel frustrated, and continued to use the other party's mouth.

Wilson frowned, "William." He called Ai Xing's name, paused again, and looked across the table at the boy in school uniform with a rare serious expression, "You've been on our hacker list for a while now. For a long time, you were very cunning and left very few traces. But before, you were just playing around and doing something that you thought was upholding justice, why did you play it so big this time?"

Ai Xing didn't know when Johnny would turn back. He had to seize the time to break through Wilson, so he could only choose to go straight in.

"I don't think the corruption case of officials in this state will cause the FBI to make such a fuss. Unless, there is really someone on that list who plans to run for the next president?"

Wilson's face changed suddenly when he heard this.He suddenly realized that he shouldn't rely on his experience and experience, just browse through Ai Xing's information and arrest people.This high school student is not the heir of a dandy group, nor is he just an arrogant cyber hacker, but a suspect with excellent psychological quality. His experience should not be as simple as a piece of paper.

Ai Xing already got the answer from his flickering expression.He pretended nothing had happened on his face, but his heart sank quickly.

Wilson didn't scare him, this time his passionate impulse is likely to bring about a catastrophe of life and death.

One name stands out on that corruption list—California's current governor, Walker Green, is also one of the veteran politicians of the Democratic Party.

Ai Hongshen's encrypted files only scratched the surface of corruption in the political arena, and did not record detailed transactions.Since Walker Green is the governor of a state, it is easier to implicate other politicians. Aixing decided to start with his capital flow, and soon found out that he has recently had a large amount of capital transactions with a large energy company.

This energy company is one of the chaebols who have always supported the Democratic Party. It is not surprising that it has some contacts with Walker Green.But the seven-figure amount of bribes was too abnormal. At first, Ai Xing hadn't figured out what kind of support the energy company needed from Walker to spend so much money.

Until then, he had a flash of inspiration. Those funds were used to pave the way for Walker Green's campaign, but Walker pocketed them and transferred them to his private account.

So, are these two agents under the orders of the governor, or are they under the orders of the chaebol?

The iron door was pushed open again, and Johnny strode in.

Ai Xing didn't even have time to turn his head to take a look, the back of his neck had already been grabbed by someone.

Wilson behind the interrogation table called "Johnny", but failed to stop Johnny from attacking Aixing.

Since Ai Xing was in handcuffs, he was unable to resist effectively.He was pulled up violently by Johnny, kicked in the back again, and hit the ground hard.

The burly man didn't stop, he grabbed Ai Xing's hair, pushed his head and punched it continuously on the cold and hard concrete floor.Ai Xing couldn't bear it anymore, and pressed Jonny's forearm with handcuffs, and at the same time raised his leg and kicked the opponent's neck.Johnny was caught off guard and was kicked by him. The moment he fell to the ground, he took out the Glock M19 pinned to his waist.

Ai Xing shuddered, not daring to move again.Johnny stood up, and the muzzle of the cold gun was pressed against his forehead, and then the muffled sound of loading scratched Ai Xing's eardrums.

"Come on! Hit him again!" Jonny glared at him viciously, stepped on Ai Xing's shoulder, and trampled down hard.

Finally, Wilson couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over to hold Jonny's arm, "How can I make him explain the whereabouts of the documents after being killed?"

The muzzle of the gun was still not removed, and Jonny said with a sneer, "Shoot a shot in the leg first, and then everything will be explained."

Ai Xing knew that this person was not joking. If Wilson was not present, he would have already lost a leg.

Johnny continued to press on his left shoulder.Ai Xing has practiced swimming for many years, and his shoulders were damaged from overwork. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and eventually he couldn't support himself and fell to the ground.

Unrelenting, Jonny knelt down and grabbed the collar of his school uniform, "I know you are the heir of Ai Shi. You haven't suffered any hardships since you were a child, right? Your parents are still waiting for you to come home."

This is a common method in interrogation, and Johnny wanted to pry Aixing's mouth open when he was weak.However, at this moment, Ai Xing only thought of Ning He.

He was lying on the cold and hard ground, and his breath was full of the unpleasant smell of smoke accumulated on the detective's body.Ning He floated gently in the depths of his memory, reminding him of his lover's gentle touch, warm embrace, downcast eye corners, faint smile... In short, it was those things that made him Something that he has been thinking about for a long time, but he still can't let go, is surging in his body bit by bit.

Ai Xing felt that the pain penetrating into his shoulder seemed to have eased a lot.No matter what, he thought, he must leave here to meet Ning He.They have already decided to go to Las Vegas during the Thanksgiving holiday at the end of this month. They got their marriage certificate there half a year ago. It must be very romantic to revisit the old place.

Ai Xing knows how much he loves Ninghe, he is never late for a date.Same this time.

Ning He had the longest night of his life.

He only slept for two or three hours back and forth. Every time he woke up, he felt that his brain was a little clearer, and he began to recall the details of getting along with Ai Xing in the past month, hoping to find clues from it.

He found out some passwords commonly used by Ai Xing and successfully logged into his computer, but none of these were of much help.Ning He has no knowledge of programming, codes, etc. It is impossible for him to discover Ai Xing's hidden data based on his computer knowledge alone.

After repeated thinking, he and Ai Xing came to the same conclusion.

Being able to use the power of the FBI to take away Ai Xing, and even weave him a crime related to state secrets, must implicate high-ranking figures.Regardless of whether Ai Xing finally handed over the document related to the other party's future, he is likely to be silenced.

This case cannot be resolved at the downward level, because there are people above with only one hand covering the sky; if Ai Xing cannot be rescued after trying all means, then the situation can only be further fermented, and it will simply become uncontrollable.

As a result, suspicions will inevitably arise in the chaos, and Ai Xing may still have a chance.

Ning He stayed in the bedroom until seven o'clock in the morning, when he heard noises coming from downstairs, probably the two elders had already woken up.So he simply washed up and quickly went to the living room.

Ai Chengjin and Shao Yin's faces were not very good-looking, obviously the same as Ning He's tossing and turning the night before.

Ning He should not be too active at this time, while greeting good morning, he calmly asked Ai Chengjin about his future plans.

"Has Uncle Ai thought of any solution? Should he contact the lawyer team to defend Ai Xing, or pay bail first?"

Unexpectedly, Ai Chengjin hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Ai Shi is about to go public, and we have just completed the first round of public offering. At this time, if the news of Ai Xing's arrest is hyped up, it may affect Ai Shi's reputation." ..."

It's not that Ning He didn't think about Ai Chengjin's weighing the pros and cons.But now that Ai Xing has just been taken away by the FBI, and Ai Chengjin has not yet been involved in any real loss, Ai Chengjin is already so mercenary, Ning He's heart is instantly chilled.

Ai Chengjin is still continuing to explain the plan he discussed with Ai Hongshen, Collins and others. Generally, Collins' team came forward to put pressure on the Los Angeles Police Department, and through their mediation, they negotiated a more moderate bail plan with the FBI. , try not to attract the attention of the mainstream media.

Ning He knew that he didn't have to listen any longer.They had received feedback from the local police station last night that the FBI did not requisition their venue for interrogation, and Ai Xing's whereabouts are still unknown.

Collins is nothing more than a lawyer proficient in business law, and most of his team's background is concentrated in this field.If Ai Xing's case is taken over by them, Ning He can almost confirm that Collins is from Ai Hongshen's side, but Ai Chengjin has not yet noticed the betrayal of his confidant.

Ning He went to the restaurant to drink half a cup of coffee, said hello to Shao Yin, then grabbed his coat and went out.

He has already contacted the lawyer Ai Xing's mother used before her death, and now he is going to meet with him.

When driving out, he saw a pair of Aixing's sneakers under the passenger seat of his sports car.A week ago, he went to Changmu High School to pick up Ai Xing from school. Ai Xing changed out of his school uniform and sneakers in the car, because they had reserved a high-end restaurant that night to celebrate Ai Xing's admission to a prestigious school. Too casual.

The moment Ning He put into gear and drove out of the garage, the momentum of the car pushed him back into the back of the seat.He suddenly felt a little dazed, as if those lavish love and dreams dissipated in an instant, leaving a bloody reality that was caught off guard, lying between him and Ai Xing.

The author has something to say: Hold on, Xinghe can HE.
