30: Chapter 30 The Ultimate Lie Detection Technique! Lin Yuan's Ultimate Method of Destroying the Mind!

Outside the abandoned shipyard, the rain was still falling.

Fear finally overcame the pain.

A flash of determination crossed Chiba Rin's eyes; her cheeks twitched slightly as she clenched her molars with sudden force.

For her, death was the best release right now.

But she was facing Lin Yuan.

His exceptional Mental Energy allowed Lin Yuan to keenly detect the slight twitch in her facial muscles.

In his past life, he had dealt with plenty of these survivors from the island nation; he knew exactly what kind of trouble they were cooking up the moment they made a move.

Lin Yuan reached out with his right hand and gripped Chiba Rin's chin.

Crack!

Chiba Rin's jawbone dislocated.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

Her mouth was forced wide open, and saliva mixed with rainwater dripped down.

Lin Yuan inserted two fingers and forcibly pulled that poison tooth right out of her gums.

"You want to die?" "Did I give you permission?"

Lin Yuan tossed the poison sac into the muddy water and crushed it with his foot.

The ninja discipline that Chiba Rin took such pride in was like child's play before Lin Yuan.

Her eyes changed completely; that was true terror.

She had been stripped even of the right to commit suicide.

"Throw her in the trunk," Lin Yuan ordered.

Tank stepped forward, grabbed Chiba Rin by the back of her collar with one hand, and roughly shoved her into the trunk of the george patton.

Old Ghost stood at the dock, watching Lin Yuan drive away, a glimmer of awe flashing in his single eye.

This young man was ruthless enough.

The heavy SUV tore through the curtain of rain, driving toward the Cloud Top Palace in the Western Suburbs.

The interior of the vehicle was filled with a faint scent of blood.

Rainwater poured in through the cracked windshield, hitting Lu Yan in the face, but his expression remained unchanged.

Lin Yuan leaned back in the passenger seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Tiangong No. 1 was under accelerated construction, and with workers everywhere, it was not suitable for detention and interrogation.

He took out his phone and dialed Jiang Xiaowan.

The phone rang a dozen times before it was answered.

"Boss Lin, you genius, do you know what time it is?" Jiang Xiaowan's voice came through, filled with grogginess and resentment. "Also, that aggressive construction of yours during the day scared away all the wealthy clients looking at properties around me! My performance..."

"Lend me a villa, now." Lin Yuan cut off her complaint directly, his tone an unquestionable command.

There was a pause on the other end, then Jiang Xiaowan laughed in anger, her wealthy heiress temper flaring up: "Do you think Cloud Top Palace is a chain hotel? You just borrow it whenever you want?"

"Tomorrow morning, the war in the Middle East begins." Lin Yuan watched the night scenery flying by outside the window and tossed out his bargaining chip. "As for when to clear your positions to maximize profits, don't you want to know?"

The other end of the line went silent. There was only the sound of Jiang Xiaowan's slightly rapid breathing.

If the war in the Middle East really started, crude oil futures would absolutely see an epic surge.

After hearing Lin Yuan's assessment yesterday, she had already braved family pressure to secretly position herself in the futures market.

But getting in was easy; getting out was hard. Could this man even accurately predict the peak?

"Diagonally across from Tiangong No. 1, Villa No. 8, the code is six zeros. That was originally reserved for myself!" Jiang Xiaowan gritted her teeth as she gave the code.

"Thanks." Lin Yuan hung up directly.

The george patton made a sharp drift and drove into the underground garage of Villa No. 8.

"You two, stand guard on the perimeter. If anyone approaches, take them out," Lin Yuan ordered.

"Understood, Boss," Lu Yan nodded.

Lin Yuan opened the trunk, dragged Chiba Rin by her ankle with one hand, and hauled her into the luxurious living room like a dead dog, while carrying the suitcase Old Ghost had given him in the other.

The living room was covered in expensive carpet. The air emitted a faint, fragrant scent that clashed with the sour smell of rainwater on the two of them.

Lin Yuan crouched down, and with a "crack," he reset Chiba Rin's jaw. Then he spoke: "Tell me, who sent you?"

Chiba Rin lay limp on the carpet, her wrists shattered, cold sweat covering her head from the pain. But she knew this was her last chance. If she couldn't seize the initiative, she would face a fate worse than death.

She endured the pain of her broken bones and lifted her head, her torn clothes, soaked with rainwater, clinging to her snow-white skin. Her eyes darted about, and she looked up at Lin Yuan with a pitiful, delicate expression.

"Master... my name is Sompa, I was sent by a South Asian drug lord..." Her voice was seductive, carrying a deliberate, tearful tone.

This was a specialty of the female ninja training. Seduction arts!

In her current state, even suicide was difficult. As long as she could stall for time, waiting for her teammates who were setting off fireworks and sending signals to come and rescue her, she would even settle for a quick death.

Even if she died, she refused to beg for mercy in front of this "Sick Man of East Asia"!

However, she didn't know that Old Ghost, in order to protect the reputation of the underground black market, had already sent out all his subordinates to carry out a bloody purge of her support team on the outside.

[Ding! Target Chiba Rin, Favorability -2%, Current Favorability: -12%!]

Lin Yuan looked at the system panel that popped up in his vision, a playful smirk curving his lips. System Favorability was the perfect lie detector in this world!

"Chiba Rin." Lin Yuan ruthlessly exposed her. "Lying to me is useless."

Chiba Rin's seductive gasp caught in her throat instantly, and her pupils shook violently. How could he possibly know her real name?! Even in the Ninja Guild, they were all referred to by code names!

Lin Yuan stopped wasting words. He walked to the black suitcase and opened the latches. The dazzling array of special tools inside emitted a chilling metallic luster.

The next hour was a violent, brutal torment that showed no mercy to her beauty. The Bushido spirit that Chiba Rin took such pride in was ground to dust. The worship of strength and servility ingrained in the bones of the island nation people were fully triggered.

She lay on the carpet like a dog, crying and begging for mercy, her mental and physical defenses completely collapsing.

"I'll talk... I'll tell you everything! Please stop... It was Lu Feng! He paid me 100,000 USD to do it!"

[Ding! Target Chiba Rin (Beauty 85), Emotional fluctuation has reached the extreme!] [Favorability Critical Hit +30%! Current Favorability: 18%!]

Listening to the notification sounds in his mind, Lin Yuan's eyes turned dark. He had completely confirmed that "Extreme Emotion + First Negative-Distance Contact" was the fastest shortcut to farming Favorability.

Looking at Chiba Rin, who was lying limp on the floor in a mess, Lin Yuan chose not to kill her immediately. Since Lu Feng dared to hire a hitman overseas, he had to let this "green tea" bitch experience what true despair was.

Lin Yuan decided to use her own plan against her. Chiba Rin's hands were completely unable to hold a phone. Lin Yuan grabbed her hair extremely roughly, lifted her up, and "thoughtfully" pressed the encrypted phone found on her against her ear.

"Call Lu Feng." Lin Yuan's voice was like a devil's whisper. "Do as I say."

The call connected, and Lu Feng's urgent voice came from across the ocean: "How did it go?"

Chiba Rin endured the discomfort and reported intermittently according to Lin Yuan's script: "The target... has been controlled by my drugs... I forced him to reveal... the hidden password box for the one billion in bearer bonds..."

Hearing the words "one billion" on the other end of the line, Lu Feng's breathing instantly grew heavy. This was exactly the amount of money Lin Yuan had taken in the divorce!

"What about the password?!" Lu Feng roared anxiously.

"He refuses to say... I can bring it back to the country to crack it slowly..." Chiba Rin's voice trembled violently; she could barely form a complete sentence.

The naturally suspicious Lu Feng was terrified that she would double-cross him after returning with the password box, so he immediately made the decision over the phone: "Watch him! I'm bringing my people back to the country immediately, I want to interrogate him myself!"

"Ah—!"

[Ding! Target Chiba Rin (Beauty 85), Emotional fluctuation has reached the extreme!] [Favorability Critical Hit +4%! Current Favorability: 22%!] [Favorability has broken through the critical threshold, gaining 50% of the target's base attributes! (Target Constitution: 12, Mental Energy: 12)]

[Host: Lin Yuan] [Constitution: 26 (+6)] [Mental Energy: 32 (+6)] [Superpower: A-Rank Spatial Ability (Unawakened)]

The call ended with a high-pitched, irrepressible scream from Chiba Rin. Listening to the busy tone on his phone, Lu Feng just assumed Chiba Rin was using torture and didn't think anything else of it. His eyes glimmered with greedy fanaticism, as if that one billion had already fallen into his pocket.

Inside the villa. The moment the call ended, a harsh system notification suddenly rang in Lin Yuan's mind: [Warning! Target Chiba Rin Favorability -2%... Current Favorability: 20%!] [Favorability -3%... Current Favorability: 17%!]

Lin Yuan paused slightly. He understood. The woman's submission just now was merely a physiological instinct of enjoying extreme pleasure. Once freed from that suppression, or if she felt she had a chance to catch her breath, she would be calculating betrayal every single moment.

This was the ungrateful, deep-rooted nature of the islanders! They fear power but do not cherish virtue.

He casually tossed Chiba Rin onto the floor and picked up a towel to wipe his hands. The target's favorability had dropped below 20%, but the attribute bonus remained. So, what if the target died?
