If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

Zhou Zhanpeng and Lei Yongxian sat in silence in their office, their brows furrowed as they racked their brains over how to interrogate Huadi. However, they couldn't come up with any good ideas. Lei Yongxian had absolutely no interest in the interrogation and even felt somewhat resistant. Zhou Zhanpeng, on the other hand, knew that the interrogation of Huadi was just a pretext, a distraction to allow their men to proceed smoothly.

Therefore, Zhou Zhanpeng felt that there was no need to force Huadi to speak. He could simply lock him up for forty-eight hours to achieve his goal. The reason he lost his temper just now was simply because he was annoyed by Huadi's refusal to cooperate.

In this way, the two of them tacitly pretended to be good-natured, and time slipped by unnoticed, and the day quickly passed. As night fell, Zhou Zhanpeng, due to work discipline, had to stay at the ICAC training base. He found a lounge and climbed into bed early, intending to get a good night's sleep before waking up in the middle of the night to interrogate Hua Di and keep him awake all night.

However, no one could have predicted that when Zhou Zhanpeng slowly opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find that the sky outside the window was already illuminated by the brilliant sunshine, and it seemed as if the day had already passed a long time ago. Zhou Zhanpeng couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his head, thinking to himself: "How could I have slept so soundly? But then again, it was a really comfortable sleep. The bed here seems to be quite good. It's a pity that I didn't get to give Huadi a good rest."

After washing up, Zhou Zhanpeng arrived at Lei Yongxian's office feeling refreshed. As soon as he entered, he complained, "Brother Xian, why didn't you wake me up? You actually let that guy sleep soundly all night!" Lei Yongxian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and explained, "I went to call you, and called you for a long time, but you didn't get up. I had no choice but to take Xiaowen to interrogate him first. Here, this is the interrogation record from last night. Take a look. I guarantee he won't sleep all night. As for me, I have to go catch up on some sleep later. After all, I didn't sleep all night." Before he finished speaking, Lei Yongxian couldn't help but yawn a few more times.

Zhou Zhanpeng quickly took the interrogation record, plopped down on a chair, and began to carefully read it. Lei Yongxian stood quietly by, waiting for Zhou Zhanpeng to finish reading.

"Brother Xian, look at this Xiao Wen, he is really smart! He can actually chat with this Huadi for three hours, his eloquence is really good! After he passes the graduation course, I think I should let him follow me, he will definitely be able to help a lot." After reading the interrogation record, Zhou Zhanpeng said to Lei Yongxian with a smile on his face.

Lei Yongxian smiled slightly after hearing Zhou Zhanpeng's words and replied, "It all depends on how Zhanbo arranges it. After all, Zhanbo is also very optimistic about this guy and may have other plans. And I heard that Zhigang seems to be quite interested in him as well."

After hearing what Lei Yongxian said, Zhou Zhanpeng didn't continue to dwell on the topic. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Brother Xian, are you planning to go with me to interrogate that kid again, or are you going to catch up on some sleep first? I bet you didn't get much rest last night, did you?"

Lei Yongxian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I can still hold on. Since you want to use fatigue tactics to deal with this kid, then I will stay with you for a while. It's not too late to rest later."

So, the two stood up and walked towards the interrogation room together. After a while, they brought Hua Di to the interrogation room again.

However, when Zhou Zhanpeng and Lei Yongxian reappeared, Huadi remained completely indifferent, as if he had no reaction to their arrival. No matter how many questions Zhou Zhanpeng and Lei Yongxian asked him, he remained silent and didn't even look at them.

However, Zhou Zhanpeng could still discern some clues from Huadi's slightly exhausted expression. Clearly, after Lei Yongxian's ordeal last night, Huadi was indeed quite exhausted.

Zhou Zhanpeng hadn't expected to get any valuable information from Hua Di anyway, so when he faced Hua Di, he chose to remain silent. Thus, the three of them fell into an eerie silence in the interrogation room.

However, Lei Yongxian found this silence too boring. He kept yawning, as if he was about to fall asleep. Zhou Zhanpeng noticed Lei Yongxian's sleepiness and thought that this was not a solution. So he decided to suspend the interrogation and walked out of the interrogation room with Lei Yongxian.

As soon as they got outside, Zhou Zhanpeng said to Lei Yongxian, "Brother Xian, you look so sleepy. Why don't you go and have a rest? I see you yawning all the time. You can't work properly like this. Just let Xiaowen stay and cooperate with me."

Lei Yongxian initially declined after hearing Zhou Zhanpeng's words, saying he could still hold on. However, Zhou Zhanpeng was adamant and kept urging him to rest. Lei Yongxian finally gave in and agreed.

Before leaving, Lei Yongxian specifically warned Zhou Zhanpeng: "Don't lose your temper again, and don't use violence! I know you may feel that Huadi is uncooperative, but you really can't beat him. I'm not biased towards Huadi, this is for your own good. I'll go get Xiaowen, wait for me."

Zhou Zhanpeng nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, mumbling, "Yes, yes, I definitely won't do anything, don't worry!" He knew perfectly well that his mission was almost complete, and there was no need to clash with Huadi at this critical juncture. After all, who would be so foolish as to undertake such a laborious and ultimately fruitless undertaking?

Not long after, a tall, dark-skinned young man walked in and headed straight for the interrogation room. Zhou Zhanpeng rushed over and greeted him warmly, "Hey, brother, you're here!" He then took him with him to continue interrogating Huadi.

It was an interrogation, but in reality, it was just staring at Huadi and not letting him sleep. Huadi was quite cooperative, remaining silent the entire time. Xiaowen, standing next to him, was not so calm. He yawned constantly and looked listless.

Zhou Zhanpeng suddenly remembered that Xiaowen and Lei Yongxian had interrogated Huadi all night last night! Thinking of this, it was no wonder that Xiaowen was so sleepy.

Xiaowen's yawn seemed to be contagious, and Huadi followed suit. Zhou Zhanpeng, watching this scene, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Zhou Zhanpeng and Xiaowen finished their "interrogation" of Huadi and sent him to the holding cell. Afterward, they headed to the cafeteria for a hearty lunch.

After dinner, Zhou Zhanpeng received a call from headquarters asking about Huadi's behavior the previous night. Zhou Zhanpeng didn't mention that he had overslept, but instead explained that they had interrogated Huadi all night. The caller didn't say much, but told him to release Huadi first and then return to headquarters for a meeting.

Zhou Zhanpeng gently nudged Lei Yongxian, who was catching up on his sleep, and whispered, "Brother Xian, Brother Xian, wake up quickly."

Lei Yongxian opened his eyes sleepily, and when he saw Zhou Zhanpeng, he asked impatiently, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Zhanpeng took a deep breath and said, "Headquarters called and said they want to release Huadi first."

Lei Yongxian was stunned when he heard this. His plan was to have Huadi stay here for at least a week! This sudden news caught him off guard.

However, Lei Yongxian was a veteran after all, and he quickly regained his composure. He asked expressionlessly, "Oh? Did headquarters tell them why they released Huadi?"

Zhou Zhanpeng shook his head and said, "No, I just said to let him go first."

Lei Yongxian was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What arrangements have headquarters made for me? Do they want me to go back with you to the headquarters for the meeting, or should I stay here?"

Zhou Zhanpeng thought for a moment and replied, "There's no clear instruction from headquarters, so I'm not too sure."

Lei Yongxian frowned and said thoughtfully, "Is that so... Then you should give headquarters another call and ask them what their plans are."

Zhou Zhanpeng nodded and was about to pick up the phone to make a call when Lei Yongxian suddenly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no need to call. I'll just stay at the ICAC training center. Headquarters will call me if they need anything."

Zhou Zhanpeng looked at Lei Yongxian in surprise, but still put down the phone.

In this way, Huadi was finally released after being detained for more than thirty hours.
