Chapter 1383 - 632: Hundred Demon Master_2

Pei Yurong put her teacup back on the coffee table: "We are working through other channels to rescue our members."

Du Wenming shook his head: "Your channels are nothing more than applying pressure through public opinion. This tactic works for the External Civilization Research Bureau, but it's useless against the Dark Star Bureau.

I understand the Dark Star Bureau very well. Didn't you see how much effort the Birch Tree Hermit Society put into public opinion? And how did that end?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Pei Yurong shook her head slightly: "We're not the same as the Birch Tree Hermit Society. Although you've become distant from us since you gained power there, our influence is much greater. The Hundred Demons Workshop members are everywhere globally."

Du Wenming sighed: "Sect Leader, this isn't a problem that can be solved by sheer numbers. The difference in form doesn't change the essential outcome. I've worked in relevant institutions for years. I've seen the direction these types of events tend to go.

Many key members of the organization have been caught by the External Civilization Research Bureau. Among them, many know too many secrets of the Hundred Demons Workshop.

These secrets will quickly be mastered by the Dark Star Bureau. They're different from the External Civilization Research Bureau. Their interrogation techniques and experience are much richer. If you truly don't care about these key members, then just ignore what I've said."

Du Wenming stared at Pei Yurong.

Pei Yurong stroked the teacup, lost in thought.

A few minutes later, Pei Yurong looked up and said to Du Wenming: "The area where they are being held is surrounded by a boundary. It's the most difficult part of the rescue operation to break through."

Du Wenming said: "That's why I'm here. Only I can get them out."

Pei Yurong wasn't sure of Du Wenming: "Do you really have a way to break the boundary?"

Du Wenming locked eyes with Pei Yurong: "Do you think I would deceive you about this matter?"

Pei Yurong thought for a moment and said in a lowered voice: "We don't necessarily have to get them out, but we must ensure the organization's secrets aren't leaked."

After speaking, Pei Yurong began fiddling with the teacup again. It's her habit; when discussing important matters, her tone and demeanor seem casual.

Du Wenming stood up: "That's much easier. I need some support and assistance."

Pei Yurong glanced at her subordinate, who handed a set of communication equipment to Du Wenming.

"This communication equipment is protected by ancient curse techniques. With the current technical level of the Dark Star Bureau, they can't eavesdrop or track. You can contact me anytime through this equipment, and I'll have people ready to assist you."

Du Wenming stored the equipment and bowed: "Thank you for your trust, Sect Leader."

Pei Yurong smiled: "I also hope you can regain our trust. Now, tell me your conditions!"

Du Wenming was no longer polite: "I need money, a considerable amount."

Pei Yurong looked doubtful: "You're not joking, are you? The third leader of Snowflake Beach actually needs money?"

Du Wenming smiled bitterly: "Why mock me? It's well-known that Snowflake Beach is short on cash."

...

Yue State City, Huaming District, Guling Village, Drum Garden Farm.

On the surface, this is a state-run farm, but it's actually an external base for the Dark Star Bureau, used to store some large-scale equipment and materials.

After the escape incident of Zou Guoming (Big Head), this external base took on new functions. It was also used to imprison some important suspects due to different levels of boundaries in the core area of this base. The quantity and intensity exceed those of the Dark Star Bureau Building, so the security level here is much higher.

Some suspects captured by the External Civilization Research Bureau from the Hundred Demons Workshop were handed over to Drum Garden Farm. Director Yan Songhuai said to Shen Jingye: "Old Shen, the people have been handed to you. This time, I guess I made a fool of myself."

Shen Jingye quickly shook his head: "Old Yan, there's no point in saying that. We've been friends for years; don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I laugh at you?

Besides, there's nothing funny about this. Working with the Hundred Demons Workshop is tough work."

Yan Songhuai scanned the area, lowered his voice, and said to Shen Jingye: "Old Shen, this job is indeed tough. I'm not complaining because I messed things up. There are a lot of hardships involved in this.

The people from the Hundred Demons Workshop aren't as easy to deal with as you might think. Not only do they have extensive networks, but their actions are also quite ruthless. I've said enough; you should be careful."

After completing the handover, Yan Songhuai left.

There are twenty cells in two rows, surrounded by a circle of boundaries.

A total of thirty-eight important suspects are held in these cells, of which thirteen are key members of the Hundred Demons Workshop.

Shen Jingye called Chen Changrui: "Old Chen, move all other suspects out; only the people from the Hundred Demons Workshop should be held here.

Each person gets a separate cell, and their cells are changed once a day. No one can stay in the same cell for two consecutive days."

Based on this treatment alone, Chen Changrui saw Shen Jingye's importance put on the matter.

"Bureau Shen, when does the interrogation work start?"

Shen Jingye thought for a while: "Start immediately today. Pull together key members from the investigation department and public security team to form a workgroup. You will personally participate in the interrogation. If there are important clues, inform me right away.

Also, pull personnel from the public security team to strengthen farm security, and arrange the investigation department to focus on the Hundred Demons Workshop's recent movements."

As he spoke, Shen Jingye looked at Chen Changrui.

Chen Changrui was glancing over his shoulder, seemingly not paying full attention to Shen Jingye's words.

"Old Chen, what's going on?"

Chen Changrui is the highest-ranking Peeping Cultivator in the Dark Star Bureau. Just then, he felt someone watching him from behind.
