Chameleon: My True Face 26 Interrogation

Looking at her angry expression and her hands wrapped under her chest, Wuxing couldn't help but gulp. He quickly smiled as kindly as he could while also pulling in his belly, so that she wouldn't notice his guns and called out happily, "Dongmei! So nice to see you! How was your work?"

He completely ignored her question as if nothing happened which made her even more annoyed. Dongmei didn't like to be lied at, but what she hated more was being ignored.

She reached him with two steps, grabbed his chin in a rough manner and called out fiercely, "Don't bullshit me. Where have you been?" Her almond eyes squinted as if she wanted to see through his lies even more clearly this time. Her soft hair was already untied, falling freely on her shoulders, signifying her seriousness.

Wuxing pulled her hand away from his face and looked into her eyes from up close, saying warmly, "You are really cute when you get angry."

Wuxing tried to seduce her with his entrancing voice but apparently, it didn't work on her as right after he said it, he had to dodge her leg stomp else his foot would be crushed by her. Wuxing knew what she wanted to know, but he couldn't tell her else she would definitely figure out something is wrong.

There was no way a prisoner could walk around the prison without getting spotted, so knowing her intelligence, she would definitely investigate. With her lie detecting skills, he couldn't even fake the scenario as she would instantly know that he is lying.

"Fine then. If you don't want to tell me then I will just see the surveillance cameras footage." Dongmei said, sulking and attempted to walk away but Wuxing quickly pulled her back by her hand which he didn't let go this whole time and cried, "No, wait!"

'Damn, I will have to trust her, else I'm busted. There is definitely a camera watching the front door of the apartment. She would see that the guard didn't move this whole time.' Wuxing thought and took a deep breath, deciding to put everything on one card.

Wuxing sat her down on the edge of the bed and demanded softly, "Promise me that you won't tell anyone."

Unfortunately, Dongmei didn't allow him an advantage in the conversation and said coldly, "I don't think you are in the situation where you can dictate the rules. You either answer all of my questions or you will go back to the mine. As simple as that."

The previously warm and caring Dongmei was gone and she was replaced by a cold queen who treated him like she did everyone else. Knowing that Wuxing could lose a lot if he made any mistakes, he decided to play by her rules and temporarily give up.

Wuxing raised his hands upwards in defeat and said, "Fine, I give up. I will answer all of your questions."

"Good. Start with the first one. Where have you been?" Dongmei nodded, but her eyes didn't lose their sharpness. She didn't like how Wuxing risked getting caught by going out when he could just stay here and let her clear his name on his stead. With her family's connections, it wouldn't take a month before he would be free again.

"I took a walk outside. I wanted to check the surveillance and the arrangement of the prison." Wuxing replied honestly. Knowing she hated liers, he could only operate on facts.

"Where did you go? Did you visit the whole prison?" Dongmei asked with her gaze loosening a bit after seeing that Wuxing started to finally talk.

"Yes. I now have the full view of where everything is located on the island." Wuxing nodded.

"What was the exact route you took from the moment you left the apartment?" Dongmei followed up right away as if she already had all the questions planned.

Hearing her, Wuxing cursed right away in his mind, 'Fuck… Now I can't hide it from her… She is too slick…' He wanted to at least hide the guns from her, but now it seemed impossible.

"Tell me," Dongmei called out seeing his hesitation. She wouldn't back away when she finally hit the nail in the right spot.

"I climbed up onto the roof, went down the emergency stairs, sneaked out when the receptionist wasn't looking, looked around the staff building before going to the docks and came back," Wuxing explained his route vaguely, hoping that it was enough, but that only made Dongmei more suspicious. Wuxing wouldn't hesitate if that was only this.

"How did you pass all the guards and checkpoints?" Dongmei asked further, seeking for his secrets.

Wuxing shrugged, entered the kitchen and said after picking up an apple, "I pretended to be a guard. Not many of them know me yet," before giving it a juicy bite.

"But even with that, they wouldn't allow you enter the staff building without authorisation." Dongmei followed after him and took away the apple from him, giving it a small bite as well, before saying, "How did you get in?"

"I convinced the guard to let me inside, telling I lost the entry card. After that it was easy. My goal was to find the surveillance room and I found it after walking randomly for a bit." Wuxing answered more than she asked because he knew she will ask more. He was basically on her mercy right now and there was nothing he could do.

Just as Dongmei wanted to follow up with another question, Wuxing added, "I also found Long Qing and beat him up."

"What? Really?" Dongmei finally smiled for the first time since she started the interrogation but quickly hid it, so that he won't see.

"Yeah, he is still alive though. Maybe he will visit the hospital later. You don't need to bother with him. I will take care of him later." Wuxing smiled, assuring her and took the apple away from her, biting on the same spot she did, before shamelessly giving it back to her.

"Mhmm…" Dongmei nodded before asking the last ultimate question to sum everything up, "Is there anything you didn't tell me and you are intentionally hiding from me?" If he was hiding anything from her, she would know.

Nodding with his head, Wuxing pulled out the electric card from his pocket and gave it to her, "Yes, I also stole this card."

"Wow, you even got the access card. The more I listen to your feats, the more amazed I am." Dongmei looked at the card in wonder before giving it back to him with a smile. She wasn't mad at him for leaving the apartment but for not telling her that he will. If he wanted, she would even give him her own card. He just needed to ask her.

Dongmei held onto Wuxing's cheeks and rubbed them with her thumbs, saying, "Listen to me, next time you plan to leave, I want to know about it, you hear me? If you leave without telling me, I will kick you out." She acted like a doting girlfriend, but her words didn't match her actions.

Wuxing imitated her by gently rubbing her cheeks as well, leaning over and causing their noses to almost touch, he whispered, "Alright…" before teasing, "Is that the moment when we should kiss?"
