"No one does it better than you in this regard. That's why we discussed it and came to you."
Qin Ningyi could probably guess it was because of his ability. He had been more sensitive than others since childhood, noticing many hidden details.
Old Master Qin was delighted when he discovered this ability and found people to train him specifically for it. Unfortunately, he ultimately chose to fulfill his other responsibilities.
"I will complete the mission," Qin Ningyi stood ramrod straight.
Everyone present looked at Qin Ningyi with regret. He could have been the second Lone Wolf, perhaps even surpassed him. What a shame.
"Without further ado, let's go." Old Master Qin and his party walked ahead, heading towards where Stosnov was being held.
Someone in the crowd quickened their steps and came to the front. "Young Master Qin, Minister Zeng asked me to tell you something."
Qin Ningyi looked at him inquiringly. The person cleared his throat. "When you question him, try to get a list of all domestic monitoring departments, and the equipment addresses where the Keys plan was implemented."
"Didn't you say the Keys plan's implementation doesn't rely on a single piece of equipment? And the primary development equipment isn't connected to the internet. Why does your Minister Zeng need this?"
Interrogation is a battle of wits and drains energy. Every piece of information is crucial. Why are they asking for these seemingly useless things...
The person seemed to be waiting for someone to ask this. He immediately patted his chest. "Our ace will come back to help. Do you think this information is useless?"
This one sentence successfully made everyone acquiesce to Minister Zeng's request. This ace, whom they had never met, had done quite a bit. They could recount any of his deeds in detail.
Qin Ningyi nodded in agreement. For some reason, when they spoke of this ace from the intelligence department, he thought of Huo Rou.
If it were Huo Rou, she would probably do very well too, especially since she had led people to infiltrate
Stosnov watched quite attentively.
After understanding the situation, Old Master Qin and the others withdrew, leaving Qin Ningyi to talk to him.
"Are you the negotiation expert they found?" Stosnov asked, feigning ease, but the imperceptible tension in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.
Qin Ningyi simply stared at him. "No."
"No? You're not wearing a military uniform, of course, perhaps there are plainclothes officers. I also liked wearing plainclothes when I was in the CAA." As he spoke, he was the first to present his leverage.
He had been in the CAA. China obtaining a former CAA member was enough to warrant some preferential treatment.
Qin Ningyi continued to look directly into his eyes. "You guessed wrong, and you're not right either."
"Then you..." Under Qin Ningyi's gaze, Stosnov became increasingly flustered. He pretended to read, shifting his gaze. "It can't be that my boss misses me and sent someone to see me, can it?"
He said it casually, but Qin Ningyi judged his current tension and worry from his eye movements.
"Afraid of dying?" he directly pointed out Stosnov's inner fear.
"How is that possible? I came with the determination to die to expose the shameful actions of country M, so how could I be afraid of death? You are wrong!" Stosnov's voice became more agitated.
Everyone believed Stosnov to be a fearless warrior. Some countries even packaged him as a hero who bravely said "no" to his former employer and his beloved homeland, all for the sake of protecting everyone's personal privacy from arbitrary intrusion.
Those who knew country M's usual style also felt that Stosnov's suicidal act clearly showed he had cast his life and death to the wind.
Who would have known that he was actually afraid of death?
Once the mental defenses were breached, everything became easier. Qin Ningyi then fired questions one after another.
Stosnov was clearly trained. Even though his defenses had just been broken, he was able to quickly re-establish them. He answered Qin Ningyi's questions flawlessly.
Watching all of this in the monitoring room, the various leaders began to frown. "Uncle Qin, is your grandson really as capable as you say? Our people have also asked Stosnov these questions, and there's no difference."
"It's the same words over and over. He seems to say a lot, but not a single sentence is useful."
Everyone had clearly experienced Stosnov's stubbornness.
Old Master Qin watched Qin Ningyi on the screen. He was extremely calm and could always extract useful information from Stosnov's pile of nonsense.
Furthermore, his questioning seemed unrelated, yet after Stosnov rambled on, he would ask questions that left him stunned.
Repeatedly breaking through mental barriers, repeatedly experiencing shock and worry, Stosnov's heart seemed to have gone on a roller coaster ride in a short period.
A hint of exhaustion appeared in his eyes. This man was the most terrifying person he had ever met.
When he answered questions, all his expressions were the same.
He had practiced this. Even people from the organization had been easily deceived when they interrogated him. It was precisely because of this that he was able to escape patrols and go to country A.
But how could this man in front of him accurately find clues from his answers?
Qin Ningyi had been questioning him for a long time, and he had learned most of what he wanted to know. Seizing the moment when Stosnov was exhausted and his mental defenses were weakest, he asked for the information Minister Zeng wanted.
"Awesome! This is practically mind-reading!!! Does your grandson have any intention of joining the military? Our Second District welcomes him!" Someone excitedly patted Old Master Qin's shoulder, unable to articulate his words.
