Chapter 996 - No One Is Innocent (1/2)
”The intelligence division that I head is called Poison.” Luo Zongren stated everything with a numb expression as though it was unrelated to him. ”A lot of people in the Zhou Consortium are unaware of our existence. My job is only to report to two people. One of them is the intelligence director, Zhou Shoushi, and the other is the Zhou Consortium's boss, Zhou Shiji.”
Although this guy's real name was Yang Yanbang, Ren Xiaosu and company were used to the name ”Luo Zongren.” So they decided to continue addressing him that way. They believed Luo Zongren himself was used to this pseudonym as well.
”There's a total of 581 members under my command who I personally selected from the military five years ago. The commander had authorized me to recruit all the superhumans in the military and allowed me to use my superpower to control them. The missions we carry out are all matters the Zhou Consortium doesn't want to be found out for.”
Ren Xiaosu asked coldly, ”581 people? But there were only about 300 people that participated in the battle this time. Where's the others?”
”There's still 21 people in Luoyang City who have not been arrested yet. The others are scattered across the various strongholds and lying in wait while waiting to be summoned. I'm the one who can contact everyone, so they have no means to contact me,” Luo Zongren said.
”Tell us their identities immediately,” Luo Lan said.
”There's Deng Kai, an auto repairman living at 31 Fanglin Road.
”Zhu Can, the owner of a fast food restaurant at 78 Osmanthus Road.
”Hu Chengjun lives in the apartment complex at 21 Wuling Road. His unit number is 301…”
Luo Zongren revealed all 21 of the covert agents who had slipped through the net. Ren Xiaosu ordered the Northwest's intelligence agent next to him to write down all of the names. He was going to settle the score with them after Luo Zongren's interrogation.
All of the information was very precious. Ever since they started searching for Luo Zongren's whereabouts, Wang Yun, Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, Ren Xiaosu, and Yang Xiaojin had expended a great deal of energy.
After that, it took a lot of effort to make Luo Zongren speak, and they even had to engage in a battle of wits to make him confess.
Just a moment ago, they were nearly deceived by Luo Zongren.
Although Luo Lan had successfully called the opponent's bluff and destroyed his last bit of confidence, Luo Lan was actually not that sure, because Luo Zongren was way too calm.
It was not easy to obtain all the intel they had gathered now, so they had to cherish it.
At this moment, Luo Lan asked, ”The covert agents in the other strongholds, tell us about them as well. A dirty organization like Poison has no need to exist in the world anymore.”
Luo Zongren's expression distorted for a moment, but his mental defenses had completely collapsed. Even though Luo Lan was belittling Poison, he did not dare rebuke him.
At the beginning, Ren Xiaosu was worried Luo Lan would provoke Luo Zongren and cause him to turn antagonistic again.
However, Luo Lan whispered to Ren Xiaosu, ”Don't worry, it's fine. The more you belittle someone like him, the more honest he becomes.”
Ren Xiaosu did not understand the logic behind this, but he believed that Luo Lan and Zhou Qi were more professional than him.
When Luo Zongren revealed all the information about the spies who were operating covertly, Luo Lan asked again, ”So you guys tried to kill me because you wanted to frame the Wang Consortium for it? And then have the Qing Consortium start a war with the Wang Consortium?”
”Yes.” Luo Zongren nodded in admission.
