Chapter 1119: Chapter 1118: Let’s End It for Now
The Pingge Academy is not afraid of fighting a war of attrition with Silver Fang.
Once the dust settles, the factual evidence will be laid out right there; no matter how much Silver Fang retracts his confession, it will be useless. So Gu Tong controls the content of the conversation, avoiding meaningless chatter and shifting the target, and the people in the monitoring room share the same idea.
With both sides at an impasse, continuing to talk won’t lead to any good result.
By then, they would miss the best timing and end up just wasting time instead.
That would be good for no one.
Precisely because of this, they are focusing their energy on Silver Fang, hoping to pry his mouth open and learn the truth of the matter.
Silver Fang’s body leaned forward a bit as he said, "Then I probably don’t have anything else that would interest you, Sir!"
To actually cut off his own words so bluntly was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Whether it was the officers waiting in front of the monitors or Gu Tong sitting in the chair, all of them were baffled by Silver Fang’s inexplicable remark.
Just a moment ago, he’d been quite cooperative.
Suddenly he changed his tone and wasn’t willing to say another extra word.
Anyone in their place would probably find it completely unexpected.
"Alright, then I’ll temporarily end our conversation here."
Gu Tong didn’t want to keep discussing this meaningless topic either; even if they kept talking, they wouldn’t get any new information—ultimately it would just be a waste of time.
Silver Fang paused slightly, not expecting Gu Tong to be so direct.
But he didn’t try to stop her; instead, he watched Gu Tong leave, as if he truly had nothing more to say.
...
The monitoring room, separated by only a wall.
Yan Lishan’s eyes bulged, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out. "W-why stop talking? Silver Fang just started spilling—"
At the critical moment, they were just a hair’s breadth away from getting more key information.
Yet Gu Tong actually chose to cut off the conversation and not continue.
If it were anyone else...
They’d probably find that hard to accept too.
Yan Lishan stared wide-eyed, utterly puzzled.
Qiao Chenyi focused on the monitor, on Gu Tong who was pulling open the iron door, and said, "Her choice is the right one!"
Making such a choice at this moment is crucial.
A subtle bit of information can often decide the crux of the matter.
But that doesn’t mean that continuing the chat would lead to a better outcome.
It still comes back to that: making a decisive choice on the spot is very important!
Yan Lishan didn’t get it, and couldn’t understand the thought patterns of this group of high-IQ people. He let out a sigh and could only accept the reality before him.
’Creak--’
Gu Tong pushed open the door to the monitoring room and said evenly, "I judged that Silver Fang wouldn’t keep talking, so I cut off the conversation. No problem, right?"
This was her personal decision, not one made by the whole team.
"No problem." Li Yan and Qiao Chenyi spoke in unison.
Yan Lishan: "..."
A certain deputy monitor: "..."
The other trainees: "..."
There is a problem...
Could you please consider our ability to understand...
We just can’t keep up at all.
Gu Tong’s mouth was dry from talking. She poured herself a glass of water, took a few big gulps, then said, "Silver Fang is someone who feels very deeply about his older brother; you can tell that just from the conversation we just had. Chu Qinyou has nothing to do with him, so he can give him up. But his real purpose is still to protect Jin Ya.
Rula Zi’s next actions should also implicate Jin Ya. As long as there is any possibility of a threat to Jin Ya, Silver Fang will absolutely not say more. So we can only look for another breakthrough point."
