Chapter 235 Instigating Rebellion

The masked man was panting heavily, his eyes filled with resentment, but under the threat of the Second Department's sharp blade, he dared not make any further moves.

Song Qianyi stepped forward, squatted down, and stared intently at the masked man.

"Tell me, who are you? Who is ordering you around?"

The masked man kept his lips tightly closed, his eyes revealing a stubbornness and resistance.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, soaking his temples, but he remained silent, as if his mind was made up.

Seeing this, Katie was furious. She stepped forward, grabbed the masked man's mask, and ripped it off forcefully.

The face mask was ripped off, revealing a gaunt face filled with hostility.

The veins on his forehead bulged with anger and tension, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared fiercely at Katie.

"You think you can hold out forever?" Katie shouted angrily. "If you don't talk now, you'll be in big trouble once we find out!"

The masked man snorted coldly and turned his head away. "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you. I won't say anything."

Song Qianyi frowned slightly, knowing that simple intimidation would probably not work on the person in front of her.

She gestured for Katie to calm down, then took out an exquisite jade pendant from her bosom and waved it in front of the masked man.

"Do you know what this is? It's a priceless jade pendant. Just ask, and it's yours. Plus, I'll give you enough money to travel far away and live a peaceful and prosperous life."

Song Qianyi's voice was steady and gentle, yet it carried an undeniable power.

A flicker of hesitation crossed the masked man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Don't try to bribe me with these things, I won't fall for it."

Song Qianyi didn't give up; she continued.

“I know you’re being coerced and have no choice in the matter. The people behind this may have made you some promises, but think about it, do you really think they’ll keep their promises? Once things are exposed, they will definitely abandon you without hesitation. At that point, you’ll not only get nothing, but you’ll also be in dire straits.”

The masked man remained silent, a hint of struggle in his eyes.

Song Qianyi pressed on, "Now you have two paths in front of you. One is to be stubborn to the end, and in the end you will have nothing, and you may even lose your life."

"The other option is to cooperate with us and obtain the wealth and freedom you desire. You should think carefully about which path to take."

The masked man licked his chapped lips, his voice low and hoarse, "My name is Archie, and I work for Hack."

"So what exactly did he ask you to do?" Song Qianyi pressed.

Archie gritted his teeth. "He told me to find your new mine owner, preferably infiltrate your ranks, and find out your plans. If there's an opportunity, sabotage your operation."

Katie sneered, "You think you can infiltrate our ranks? You're dreaming!"

Song Qianyi then asked.

"Besides you, did Hark send anyone else?"

Aqi hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

“There are two other people who are operating around the mine and are there to provide backup for me. I will notify them if I make any discoveries.”

Song Qianyi's heart tightened; it seemed that Hark's actions were more thorough than she had imagined.

She continued, "How do you usually keep in touch? Where are they now?"

Aqi looked troubled. "We communicate using specific codes and signals. I don't know exactly where they are. They only appear when needed."

Song Qianyi stood up, thought for a moment, and then said to Katie.

“Katesha, have someone take him to the rear tent and keep a close watch on him. Don’t let anyone get close to him.”

"Yes, mine owner."

Katie responded and then called several strong men to escort Aqi to the rear tent.

The situation with Hak and Naya is still unclear.

Song Qianyi decided to remain inactive.

In return, he gave the jade pendant and money, and assured his family's safety that Aqi should continue to contact the other two as usual, lest Hack suspect something was amiss.

Thanks to Katie's efficient arrangements, all tasks were carried out quickly.

The equipment upgrade work at the mine has begun, new machines are being delivered to the mine one after another, and the workers' faces are showing long-lost smiles.
