Chapter 218: In Front of Me You’re Spineless, What Secrets Could You Have?
Wolf Yin Feng’s body shook like a sieve as he begged: “Tea Tea, my good daughter, what Wolf Bai Yue, what are you saying, Dad doesn’t understand.”
He hurried on, voice trembling: “Save Dad, okay? As long as you get Dad out and let Dad live, Dad can help your supernatural abilities rise to a higher level. You will become even more beautiful, more radiant and stunning.”
He tried to tempt her further: “Whatever wish you have, whatever you want, whoever you want, Dad can make it happen for you. Save Dad, okay?”
Jiang Tea Tea looked at his old face and laughed: “Wolf Bai Yue, even if you’ve lived more than a thousand years and hidden away hundreds of billions, trillions in assets, you still can’t compare to Commander in Chief Chong Ming.”
She lifted her chin slightly, tone full of lazy pride: “With my skills, my ability, and how much he values me, if I tell him today that tomorrow I want a laboratory with the most advanced equipment, the moment I open my eyes tomorrow, I’ll see it there.”
She tapped the table lightly as she continued: “If I say I want the prettiest gem in the entire M31 Star System, tomorrow at noon he’ll have someone deliver it into my hand.”
Her eyes curved with a cold smile: “Even if I ask him for the scales on his own body, he’ll pull them off for me without hesitation. He gives me whatever I want. What makes you think I would swallow your empty promises?”
In front of her, making big empty promises was pointless. She was a demon tree who had no interest in such things. Even if she were the true young lady, created by that demon and then thrown away by him, she still would not take his offer and still would not save him.
She really did not understand how this idiot could be so naive. Just because he valued money and liked gems, he thought everyone else was the same as him.
Wolf Yin Feng hurried to sow discord, words tumbling out: “Tea Tea, he treats you well because you’re useful. I treat you well because I really care.”
He rushed to add more bait: “Tea Tea, Dad really has kept so many good things, including ten planets, two seed planets, and eight mining planets.”
His eyes shone with greed as he promised: “As long as you save Dad, these will all be yours, all of them. Dad will give them all to you, all of them.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s smile did not reach her eyes. She looked at him like he was a grain of dust: “Wolf Bai Yue, everything in this world, including yourself, turns into a dead thing when its time is up.”
She tilted her head slightly, voice soft but merciless: “You’ve lived more than a thousand years, going against the natural laws of the M31 Star System. It must be very hard, right?”
Wolf Yin Feng growled in a low, hoarse voice: “I’m not Wolf Bai Yue, I’m Wolf Yin Feng, I’m Wolf Yin Feng!”
Jiang Tea Tea pressed the hand she had on his brow a little harder: “You’re being so disobedient. Then I’ll just go into your memories and take them myself.”
Wolf Yin Feng tried to speak: “You…”
Jiang Tea Tea hushed him, breath warm and cold at the same time: “Shh…”
Jiang Tea Tea’s dark eyes looked into his as she silenced him, cutting off his words.
She spoke in an even tone: “Don’t worry. At most three minutes and I’ll be able to take your memories out of your mind.”
Wolf Yin Feng was in a complete panic, shaking with fear. In his struggle, the handcuffs and shackles had already cut open his flesh and bitten into his bones.
Thick, dark blood, more black-purple than red, slid down from his ankles and wrists, dripping down and down. He wanted to move his head away from Jiang Tea Tea’s hand, but he could not move at all. Even his mouth could not open.
Outside the interrogation room, the people from the Judicial Department all held their breath. The way they looked at Jiang Tea Tea made their eyes shine like wolves. They wished they could keep her locked in the Judicial Department’s interrogation room and use her for themselves.
Chong Ming’s gaze stayed fixed on Jiang Tea Tea. Wolf Yin Feng had really miscalculated and drawn the wrong pie. She did not even care about him; how could she possibly care about his empty promises?
Less than three minutes felt to Wolf Yin Feng like a year, two years, three years…
To Jiang Tea Tea, it was only a moment. She moved her hand away, went back to the other side of the table, sat down, crossed one leg over the other, and took out a pack of wet wipes from her space knob storage device, slowly wiping the blood from her fingers.
Wolf Yin Feng’s chest rose and fell as he panted. The wrinkles on his face grew deeper and deeper, as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out, leaving only a loose layer of skin hanging on his frame.
Jiang Tea Tea had a smile at the corner of her mouth. She casually wiped her fingers and lifted her eyelids to look at him, her eyes like she was watching a ridiculous monkey struggling on the verge of death.
Wolf Yin Feng coughed up several more mouthfuls of fresh blood between breaths. After he finally calmed down a bit, a huge killing intent burst out in his eyes: “Jiang Tea Tea, from the day you were born and I tested your genes, I should have killed you.”
He spat every word out through his teeth: “Without you, all of this today wouldn’t have happened. I would still be the Clan Leader of the White Wolf Tribe, with my laboratory and vast White Wolf Tribe territory. I would have led the White Wolf Tribe to the top of a broader interstellar space.”
Jiang Tea Tea smiled and asked lightly: “And then?”
Wolf Yin Feng paused for a second, eyes burning with twisted ambition: “Then the White Wolf Tribe would become the number one tribe in interstellar space. My immortality research would be sought after by nobles and rich people all over the M31 Star System.”
He lifted his chin with pride: “I would become the best researcher in the M31 Star System, the best Clan Leader, the richest beastman, admired and worshiped by everyone!”
Jiang Tea Tea kept wiping her fingers, tone calm: “You already became the best researcher. You already made the White Wolf Tribe grow strong. You already got rich.”
She looked at him with cool eyes: “But you weren’t satisfied. Your immortality plan had too many flaws. Your special medicine could only keep your body functioning for less than a month at a time.”
Her voice turned colder as she named him: “Wolf Bai Yue, you set up a thousand-year-long game, and you just had to bring me into it. If I hadn’t come, you would have stayed as Wolf Yin Feng. No one would have known you were Wolf Bai Yue, not even when you died.”
Wolf Yin Feng still refused to admit it, struggling to deny it: “I’m not Wolf Bai Yue, I’m Wolf Yin Feng…”
Jiang Tea Tea cut him off, her voice crisp but firm: “You are Wolf Bai Yue. You are the best researcher. Besides working at the First Healing Research Institute on the capital planet of The Empire, you also took part in building the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute.”
She narrowed her eyes slightly as she exposed him: “Li Ao went completely crazy, digging other people’s supernatural abilities out to take for himself and using outstanding ability users as research subjects, because you stood behind him, coaxing and pushing him along.”
She went on, not giving him room to breathe: “Of course, you and Li Ao colluded inside and out. Besides helping others screen excellent embryo younglings, you also did supernatural ability transplants and immortality experiments.”
Her tone was flat, but every word hit hard: “The goal of your research was immortality. A lifespan of one to three hundred years was far too short for you.”
She mocked his greed: “You wanted a thousand years of life, to live for ages…”
Jiang Tea Tea’s gaze chilled even more: “Other than the Beast God, no one can live for a thousand years. You weren’t willing to accept that, so you started immortality experiments. In one experiment, you used 10,700 people, and you were the only one who survived.”
Her words were like a scalpel cutting open his past: “Because you survived alone, you thought you had gained immortality. You staged an accident, a loud bang that blew up a laboratory, and faked your own death.”
Wolf Yin Feng’s cloudy, vicious eyes stared straight at Jiang Tea Tea. With his hoarse voice he actually praised her: “Jiang Tea Tea, you’re amazing. Even the best supernatural ability hypnotists under Commander in Chief Chong Ming couldn’t hypnotize me or get a single word out of my mouth.”
He laughed wildly, lips trembling: “But once you came, in less than half an hour, you knew who I am and were able to pull out my memories.”
His laughter turned manic, full of self-mockery: “Ha ha ha, I thought I could live for a thousand years. I thought I was my own proudest test subject. But today I see that I was wrong. My proudest test subject is you, you little pure human girl I looked down on the most!”
