#316 - Chapter 316 Niu Xingwang Cries
"Tian Gang, what is your relationship with the Huatong Commerce Association?" He Jinghui asked.
"Huatong Commerce Association? Because I know the chairman of the Mercenary Guild, I had a brief meeting with their commerce association's chairman. Other than that, there's no relationship," Shen Wengang said.
He Jinghui nodded.
This was consistent with what he knew.
Because Shen Wengang was initially persuaded by Tian Sha, the chairman of the Mercenary Guild, to join Dark Night.
At that time, the Mercenary Guild was just a folk organization within the Merlin settlement, with no reputation, so the Military and Political Department didn't pay attention to it.
"After you joined Dark Night, did you maintain contact with the Mercenary Guild?" He Jinghui continued to ask.
"Absolutely not. I have basic confidentiality awareness," Shen Wengang replied very firmly.
"Then let's talk about today's events. Why did you stop the civilians from evacuating south?" He Jinghui asked.
"I believed there was too much uncertainty. At that time, our dozen or so members of Dark Night wouldn't be able to ensure the safety of over twenty thousand civilians," Shen Wengang explained.
"Did you know it would be safer to stay here?" He Jinghui asked.
"Yes, I believe it's safer to stay," Shen Wengang said.
"Then tell me, why did those dung beetles disappear? And what about that iron tower?" He Jinghui asked, assuming Shen Wengang had admitted it.
"Director He, I don't understand what you're talking about. The dung beetles disappeared?" Shen Wengang asked.
He didn't know about this news when he was detained, so pretending to be ignorant was plausible.
"You don't know?" He Jinghui frowned, feeling that this Tian Gang was very dishonest.
"I don't know. You don't think I was responsible for the disappearance of those dung beetles, do you?" Shen Wengang asked.
"You don't have the ability. We suspect this matter is related to the Huatong Commerce Association," He Jinghui glanced at him and said.
"Related to the Huatong Commerce Association? That's unlikely, isn't it?" Shen Wengang asked, puzzled.
He Jinghui didn't answer him.
"Director He, since you suspect it's related to the Huatong Commerce Association, why don't you contact them directly?" Shen Wengang continued to ask.
"Someone has already gone to ask," He Jinghui said.
"Alright!" Shen Wengang said.
… …
"Commander Yan, is there something you need on the phone?" Yan Zhengping's call connected, and Niu Xingwang's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Chairman Niu, there's something I need to verify with you," Yan Zhengping asked.
Since Bai Liji's return, Yan Zhengping no longer contacted Dongfang Chen directly through his own phone, as the risk was a bit too high.
"Oh, oh, Commander Yan, please speak," Niu Xingwang, also knowing what was going on, cooperated.
"Do you know someone named Tian Gang?" Yan Zhengping asked.
"Tian Gang? Doesn't ring a bell. I know Tian Sha," Niu Xingwang said.
Yan Zhengping was speechless. This Niu Xingwang could really put on an act. He also knew Tian Sha, who was the chairman of the Mercenary Guild.
"Think about it carefully," Yan Zhengping emphasized.
"Really doesn't ring a bell. The name is too unique. If I had heard it, I definitely wouldn't forget it," Niu Xingwang replied.
"Did you send people to the country of Ulan?" Yan Zhengping asked.
"This, this, this… Commander Yan, why are you suddenly asking this?" Niu Xingwang stammered.
"It really is you. Confess honestly, what's going on!?" Yan Zhengping said sternly.
"This… Commander Yan, this is my personal matter. Please don't ask," Niu Xingwang replied, sounding troubled.
"The Chinese army has already entered Bato City. This is no longer your personal matter," Yan Zhengping said.
"So that's how it is. Our people reported seeing what looked like the Chinese army in Bato City. I thought they were mistaken," Niu Xingwang said.
"Stop trying to deceive me. Tell me exactly what's going on, and hurry!" Yan Zhengping urged.
"Ah! The thing is, some time ago, a small clerk from the Military and Political Department, I don't know which department, came to me and said my son was with them. So I went to Kyoto and brought my son back. But my son… my son had been tortured beyond recognition!" Niu Xingwang said, sobbing as he spoke.
"Chairman Niu, I understand your feelings. But the situation is urgent, so please get to the point," Yan Zhengping said.
After all, the man's son was injured, so Yan Zhengping couldn't urge him too directly and had to say something sympathetic.
"Oh, good, good! You know, we have some technical capabilities here. After examining him, we discovered that several organs in my son's body had been transplanted. The person who examined him said he had been used for human experiments!" Niu Xingwang said, filled with righteous indignation.
Niu Xingwang didn't say it directly. The so-called technical capabilities and the person who examined him actually referred to Dongfang Chen.
They both knew what was going on, so there was no need to be so blunt.
"What? Are you saying the Military and Political Department is conducting human experiments? That's impossible!" Yan Zhengping directly denied.
"Please hear me out. The person who examined him said that someone in the Northwest region was conducting cyborg experiments and might be able to find a way to treat my son. So I sent people there, and it's been three or four days now," Niu Xingwang said.
