Chapter 268: Interrogation (1)

Unfortunately, it was too late. The assistant and the soldier could only watch as Wu Lian thoughtfully licked his lips after drinking the water.

The two stared at him worriedly. After a few moments of silence, the assistant anxiously asked, "Captain, how do you feel? Any discomfort? Nausea?"

Wu Lian shook his head, "I'm fine. The water is safe for consumption."

He capped the bottle and handed it to his assistant, "Take this to the lab for analysis."

The assistant nodded, "Yes, Captain."

After the assistant left with the bottle of water, Wu Lian stood up from his chair, put on his heat-resistant jacket, and said, "Let's go. I want to meet this person who claims she could create water."

"Yes, Captain." The soldier responded promptly.

After leaving the office, the two went to the dark room area, a place where criminals could only enter but not exit.

Arriving at the darkroom area, Wu Lian motioned for the guards to open the door. As he stepped inside the dark room, light from the corridor shone in and illuminated the room.

Before he could speak, the person sitting in the corner suddenly stood up and angrily pointed a finger at him.

"As soldiers, how can you guys imprison a good citizen like me without reason?!" She asked furiously.

The room had no windows or lamps, so Wu Lian left the door open, allowing the faint corridor light to illuminate the small space. He walked up to a chair and calmly sat down.

While the woman cursed at him angrily, Wu Lian calmly observed her.

Despite her disheveled appearance, she appeared clean. Her faded dress, though worn, was spotless except for some dust at the hem. His eyes flickered with interest at the contrast. Bam!

The woman slammed her palm on the table, and Wu Lian noticed a small crack appear. His eyes darkened when he realized that this woman was stronger than ordinary people. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

"This woman is not as simple as she seems.'

As he silently studied her, the woman sneered.

"If you know what is good for you, you should release me this instant." She said confidently. Wu Lian met her gaze calmly and asked, "Miss, do you even know why you've been detained?"

She placed her hands on her hips, looked at him in disdain, and asked back, "Isn't it because you covet my abilities?"

Wu Lian's interest deepened at her words. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Miss, I think you misunderstood us."

Wu Lian ignored her and focused his attention on the bowl. The water inside was clear and free of impurities, confirming his suspicions as it matched the sample he had sent to the lab earlier.

After inspecting the water inside the bowl, Wu Lian glanced at the exhausted woman sitting on the ground. His frown deepened as irritation bubbled within him.

"Tsk! She acted so confident, yet this is the extent of her ability? Bragging and overestimating herself. How disappointing.'

As his initial annoyance faded, Wu Lian continued to observe the young woman. His expression slowly changed as his thoughts began to shift.

When the woman met his deep eyes, a shiver ran down her spine. She instinctively moved back and stammered, "Wh-what do you want?"

Wu Lian squatted in front of her and smiled, "Miss, you are truly remarkable."

The woman blinked, stunned by his words. A second later, she recovered her composure and proudly replied, "Well, of course! Hmph!"

Wu Lian chuckled, noting how easily she lowered her guard when he just prised her a little bit. "This woman is naïve and careless. Getting information from her will be very easy.'

With that in mind, Wu Lian gently helped her to her feet and guided her to the chair. Once she was seated, he sat across from her with the cracked table between them.

He raised his hand and ordered, "Someone, bring some food for this young lady."
