Chapter 1561 - 1562: Cheng Mu’s Attitude
Chapter 1562 Cheng Mu’s Attitude
Still in the interrogation room, Ye Fan sat opposite Cheng Mu, who was restrained.
Cheng Mu was fearless, with an indifferent expression, completely unconcerned with her identity as a captive, and indifferent about her own safety.
She glanced up at Ye Fan, then fell silent, her expression calm.
Ye Fan knew this was a ruthless character, also a difficult one to deal with, so he remained patient and composed.
His gaze was calm, and when he had stared at Cheng Mu for about thirty seconds, Cheng Mu couldn’t stand it anymore, smiled sweetly, and took the initiative to speak: "For a woman like me to be stared at by a man, I’d think this man was up to no good."
"You should understand that you’re imagining things; I’m not interested in you," Ye Fan responded lightly.
"Hehe..." Cheng Mu was embarrassed, with a bitter smile, clearly not expecting Ye Fan’s retort to be so witty and powerful.
Seeing Cheng Mu reluctant to speak, Ye Fan said calmly: "To have a talk with someone like you, I would have to grab hold of your weakness. Obviously, I haven’t grasped your weakness, so unless you voluntarily start talking to me, cracking open your mouth would be very difficult. I generally don’t resort to extreme measures like torture and harsh interrogation; that’s not my style."
"Not surprising for Ye Fan, knowing that I’ve been professionally trained, ordinary interrogation and torture methods would yield nothing, so you opt not to waste time, sparing me physical suffering, for which I am grateful."
Cheng Mu spoke sincerely, then with mockery, she asked: "Want to talk to me? What do you think I’ll say?"
"I believe you won’t reveal secrets. Right now, I want to discuss with you whether you have any sense," Ye Fan spoke with confidence.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Mu’s expression turned cold, speaking unhappily: "I don’t believe the dignified Terminator would insult a captive like me verbally. If you don’t clarify, I’ll hold a grudge, and I expect you to explain."
Cheng Mu was well-balanced, mastering the art of conversation precisely.
"Are you afraid of dying?" Ye Fan asked, turning the question back.
"Who isn’t afraid of dying? If I can live, who would choose to die?" Cheng Mu answered seriously, patiently waiting for Ye Fan’s explanation.
"You are captured and have become my prisoner, still thinking of walking out alive? In my grasp, you think a few spies planted in us can save you?" Ye Fan asked with interest.
"At least, I still have some hope of walking out alive, don’t I?" Cheng Mu was still persistent, believing that the Hunting Cat would send someone to rescue her, so her hope of regaining freedom, though slim, wasn’t nonexistent.
But thinking of Hunting Cat’s opponent being Ye Fan, Cheng Mu was fully aware of Hunting Cat’s fear of Ye Fan.
Given this situation, would Hunting Cat still risk rescuing her?
This became a question, stabbing deeply into Cheng Mu’s heart.
Questions took root, causing Cheng Mu’s firm belief in being rescued by Hunting Cat to shake.
She was confused; Ye Fan was clear as an observer.
Cheng Mu knew her importance, the critical role she played beside Hunting Cat, so she believed firmly that Hunting Cat would definitely rescue her. But after listening to Ye Fan’s words, her thoughts slowly changed.
"If you were Hunting Cat, what would you do?" Ye Fan pressed on, guiding Cheng Mu to reflect on her fate and outcome.
Cheng Mu was startled, like a thunderbolt striking her heart.
Her thoughts suddenly cleared, and a compelling notion emerged.
"Rather than risking and failing to rescue me, killing me is more straightforward. If I were Hunting Cat, I would choose as such, and knowing Hunting Cat’s character, choosing to kill me is not surprising at all." Cheng Mu understood her situation following Ye Fan’s words, her complexion grim and drained.
"Getting you to see reality, breaking your stubborn mindset, that’s my achievement," Ye Fan said lightly.
"Impressive, I must admit, you’re excellent, skillfully guiding, breaking my confidence through the situation, plunging me into a desperate life-and-death scenario, leaving no unrealistic thoughts," Cheng Mu sincerely remarked.
"Are you ready?" Ye Fan pressed further.
"Ready for what?" Cheng Mu feigned ignorance.
How could she not understand Ye Fan’s words?
Asking if she’s ready to leak secrets?
Such actions, she wouldn’t take, even if believing Hunting Cat would kill her, she wouldn’t divulge secrets.
"You could name conditions, as long as I can satisfy them, I can decide. Though doomed to die, in other ways, I can assist you as gratitude," Ye Fan said peacefully, unmoved by Cheng Mu’s feigned ignorance.
"Your goodwill is noted, this sentiment is remembered, but some things cannot be done. From my viewpoint, I hope Hunting Cat exhausts efforts to rescue me, I cherish life, yet from Hunting Cat’s viewpoint, the risk of rescuing me far exceeds killing me. So, I understand Hunting Cat’s choice, but don’t support it; this doesn’t mean holding resentment leads to betrayal. Resentment is inevitable, but not to the point of betrayal."
Cheng Mu remained rational, adhering to norms.
Her views were clear and understandable.
As she said, she understands Hunting Cat’s choice to kill, but doesn’t support it.
Obviously, how could someone support their own murder?
Cheng Mu wasn’t devoid of scruples, causing harm to Hunting Cat wouldn’t let her rest in peace, nor spare innocent lives.
Even dying at Hunting Cat’s hands wouldn’t matter.
Though, dying at Hunting Cat’s hands, would be fraught with difficulties.
Sending someone to kill her under Ye Fan’s watch, who knows what might happen?
Predictably, Hunting Cat faces losses, while Ye Fan might uncover several moles.
Nothing has transpired, regarding future events, Cheng Mu lacks the focus and energy to care.
"Hunting Cat will kill you, yet you willingly await the doom, indicating you have weaknesses, perhaps ties or concerns, making you hesitant to leak secrets." Ye Fan smiled understandingly.
As long as Cheng Mu has weaknesses, it’s ultimately a beneficial thing.
