Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Chapter 1148 Can making a mistake solve the problem?

Shen Suqiu's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and her lips were slightly purple with fear. Tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes like broken pearls, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto her clothes, leaving dark stains.

But she bit her lip tightly, not daring to cry out, only daring to let out suppressed, soft sobs.

She knew she was wrong, terribly wrong.

When Xu Tian asked her about her recent whereabouts and why she was here, she felt flustered. Looking at her cousin's concerned eyes, she couldn't help but want to confide in him and explain.

She didn't want to deceive her cousin, who was her aunt's relative.

But she forgot Itai Yudai's instructions, forgot how important the secret she carried was, and forgot how dangerous Shanghai was.

Only after being scolded by Yudai Itai did she fully wake up and realize how foolish and dangerous her actions had been.

The words spoken by Yudai Itai were like sharp knives, piercing through her wishful thinking and making her truly feel the threat of death and the potential annihilation she might bring to those around her.

Her body trembled even more violently, and even her teeth began to chatter slightly.

She slowly raised her head, timidly looking at Itai Yuta's gloomy face. Just one glance was enough to make her heart stop for a moment from the intense anger and disdain in his eyes. Her face turned even paler, and her tears fell even more fiercely.

His lips trembled, wanting to say something, to apologize, to explain, but the words wouldn't come out properly, and he could only squeeze out a few words intermittently.

"I... Mr. Itai... I..."

Xu Tian, ​​who was sitting to the side, slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to Itagaki Yudai at the door. From the moment the door was kicked open, he did not show the slightest panic, and maintained his previous sitting posture, but his eyes had a hint of inquiry and scrutiny.

His fingers rested lightly on his knees, slightly curled, seemingly relaxed, but in reality, he was already prepared to deal with any unexpected situation.

Xu Tian carefully examined the enraged man before him.

He was very young, looking to be only about twenty years old, and short in stature, but with an upright posture. His Japanese military uniform accentuated his imposing presence, especially his narrow eyes, which looked particularly fierce at that moment.

Such a person is definitely not someone to be trifled with; they either wield real power, are ruthless, or possess both qualities.

The force with which he kicked the door just now was enough to show that this person was not weak; at least he had considerable skill.

Xu Tian could clearly feel the anger emanating from Itai Yuta, which was directed at Shen Suqiu and carried a sense of disappointment and frustration.

But he also caught a glimpse of barely perceptible anxiety and worry in this anger.

The worry wasn't directed at him, but rather fell more on Shen Suqiu.

This made Xu Tian even more suspicious. What exactly was the relationship between this Itai Yuta and Shen Suqiu? What secrets were hidden between them?

Izai Yudai completely ignored Xu Tian's gaze at this moment. His eyes were glued to Shen Suqiu, staring intently at her. His tone was as cold as the dead of winter, filled with suppressed anger: "Shen Suqiu!!!"

These three words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth, and the sound was so loud that it echoed back and forth in the small, enclosed interrogation room, making Shen Suqiu's ears ring and her head spin.

She felt as if her eardrums were about to burst, and she wanted to cover her ears in discomfort, but she was too afraid to make any move.

Shen Suqiu was so frightened that she shrank her neck, like a rabbit being targeted by a hunter, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Ban Jingyu's eyes again.

Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her nails almost digging into the fabric. Her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, dry and painful. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a few words, albeit intermittently.

"Mr. Itai, I... I didn't mean to... I really didn't mean to..."

"Not on purpose?" Yudai Itai sneered, took two steps forward, and then stopped.

He leaned down slightly, looking down at Shen Suqiu with undisguised disgust and contempt in his eyes, as if looking at something extremely dirty and useless: "I think you're brainless! You're just a stupid idiot who would help count the money after being sold out!"

Someone tricked you into revealing everything with just a few words. Do you know how much trouble that will cause you? Do you know how many people your words could ruin?

His voice carried a chilling coldness, each word like an icicle piercing Shen Suqiu's heart. Shen Suqiu trembled even more violently, her face ashen, and tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.

She bit her lip hard until she tasted a faint hint of blood, barely managing to suppress the urge to cry out.

That tearful, pitiful appearance might have evoked some pity under normal circumstances, but in the face of the enraged Itai Yudai, it only made him seem more foolish and ridiculous.

"I...I just didn't want to lie to my cousin..." Shen Suqiu's voice was barely audible, choked with sobs, as she spoke haltingly, "My cousin...he's been so good to me...I didn't want to lie to him..."

"Mr. Ikai, I was wrong... I really know I was wrong... Please forgive me this once? I'll never do it again..."

"Wrong?" Yudai Itai sneered again, his tone even harsher, carrying an almost cruel clarity: "Does being wrong solve the problem?"

"Can admitting your mistakes bring the dead back to life?!"

As he spoke, Itai Yudai turned his gaze to Xu Tian beside him, his eyes filled with a sinister scrutiny, before turning back to Shen Suqiu: "Do you think your cousin genuinely wants to help you?"

How do you know he won't tell anyone about your situation?

How do you know if he was sent by someone else to extract information?

You can't trust anyone's heart!

You're so naive! Ridiculously naive, ridiculously naive!

Itai Yudai's words struck Shen Suqiu's heart like a heavy hammer.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief. She looked at Itai Yudai, then at Xu Tian beside her, her lips trembling. She wanted to defend Xu Tian, ​​but didn't know what to say.

In her memory, her cousin had always been gentle and reliable. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what trouble she encountered, her cousin would always be the first to stand up and protect her.

She never imagined that her cousin would hurt her or reveal her secrets.

But Itai Yudai's words made her doubt: in this chaotic era, are there really any absolutely reliable people?
