Trembling At A High Altitude

After Huang Xun's persuasion, Liu Huang indeed began to hesitate.

But his hesitation didn't last long, as it was crushed by Li Teng's increased bid.

Not everyone has the strong will that Li Teng possesses.

"I confess, I forced myself on at least dozens of women before liberation! I've confessed! Stop hitting me!" Liu Huang revealed the piece of incriminating evidence he held.

In theory, such evidence should have been enough to execute a traitor leader.

However, the plot required that each collaborator confess to one more piece of incriminating evidence.

Li Teng had no choice but to play by the rules.

Luckily, as long as Liu Huang gave his confession, everything else was no longer a big problem.

With Li Teng's method of cracking the case, he now held all the winning cards.

"How's the situation?" Li Teng stepped out from behind the curtain and asked Anna.

"Sorry, haven't found a single one," Anna spread her hands.

"That's strange," Li Teng frowned, with his method of cracking the case, it was impossible for Anna to make no progress.

"Looks like I wasn't strict enough," Anna glanced at Elsa, Gao Fei, and the others.

"Please, no! I'm really not a collaborator!"

"I'm not either!"

Elsa and Gao Fei hurriedly shouted out.

Daisy continued to sob.

"It must be Du Qing then?" Li Teng chuckled.

"Not me! I wish it was me, then I wouldn't have to be beaten after confessing, but it really isn't me! Even if you kill me, it's still not me, what can I do?" After hearing Li Teng's words, Du Qing also began to cry loudly.

"Hahahaha... Want to kill me? Not so easy! Everything you've done to me today, I'll pay back a thousand times, ten thousand times!" Liu Huang, after hearing the conversation between Li Teng and the others and seeing everyone else's reactions, laughed triumphantly.

It looked like the two collaborators would stick it out for him until the end.

Li Teng didn't say anything, but walked over to Elsa, Gao Fei, and Daisy, and had them whisper a few words in his ear.

He then turned back with a look of suspicion towards Anna.

"Say those three words," Li Teng prompted Anna.

The scene from today's plot came to Li Teng's mind quickly after the director explained the rules; he came up with a way to crack it.

This was also what he wrote on the note to Anna, and it was the content she showed to Elsa, Gao Fei, and Daisy on her note. Knowing this method, it should have been impossible for Anna to go so long without finding the collaborators.

To determine who the collaborator was, the method was very simple.

It was to force them to say the words "I confess."

"When undergoing interrogation by revolutionaries, if confessing, one must reveal the true incriminating evidence received."

"The standard for confessing is that one must first say 'I confess' and then reveal the crime evidence of the traitor leader one holds."

According to the rules announced by the director, if one is a collaborator, saying "I confess" would amount to a confession, and at that moment, one must reveal the true evidence received.

Non-collaborators, after saying those three words, don't have to reveal any evidence.

Elsa, Gao Fei, and Daisy each whispered "I confess" in Li Teng's ear but didn't cite any crime evidence of the traitor leader, so none of them were collaborators.

With only Anna and Du Qing left on the scene not having spoken yet.

"All right, I confess: the incriminating evidence I hold is that he robbed the people of a significant amount of gold and jewelry," Anna confessed to her identity as a collaborator and revealed the crime evidence she held.

"Mmmmm... " Huang Xun, his mouth stuffed with a stinky sock, wanted to sneer at the revelation of Anna being a collaborator, but he couldn't say anything.

"Damn it all!" Liu Huang cursed loudly.

Unable to withstand Li Teng's severe torture, he had hoped that the two collaborators would stick it out for him, saving his life, but to think, Anna turned out to be a collaborator and didn't hesitate to confess a piece of evidence against him.

How was he supposed to play this game now?

Now there was only one piece of crime evidence left.

If Li Teng also got his hands on the last piece of evidence, Liu Huang would be executed on the spot.

"Anna, how could you collude with the enemy? I really didn't think it would be you!" Li Teng received a prompt through his earpiece; clearly, the plot had been triggered.

"My parents and family are in the other camp, I couldn't give them up," Anna's expression was one of pain, clearly also having received the plot prompt. In a plotline from ten years ago, Anna was a wealthy young lady, her father a capitalist, and not in the same camp as the revolutionaries.

"But that doesn't mean you should collude... " Li Teng spoke again.

"I stayed there to collect their evidence of crimes, and now my mission is complete, the organization can deal with me as it sees fit," Anna said with an indifferent expression.

But her heart was bleeding at that moment.

She had never expected that she would draw the role of a Collaborator in this round, aligning her with Traitor Leader Liu Huang and the lackey Huang Xun in the same camp. But to help Li Teng kill Liu Huang, she had no choice but to willingly offer up the incriminating evidence she possessed.

Although according to the plot, she joined them to gather the enemy's evidence, her solo action wouldn't be recognized by the Revolutionary camp. If the Traitor Camp lost the confrontation, she would also lose forty points according to her rank. Of course, as long as she didn't "bite the dust", she could still earn a reward of twenty points.

That meant she was at a net loss of twenty points for this performance.

Fortunately, her account currently had a sufficient number of points.

After the first tier of the story passed, the interrogation continued.

Li Teng had already obtained three pieces of evidence from Liu Huang, Huang Xun, and Anna.

Only the last piece of evidence remained.

"If you want to prove yourself, just say 'I confess'." Anna approached Du Qing, ready to start torturing him again.

"I confess: I'm truly not a Collaborator!" Du Qing suddenly understood what was going on and quickly spoke those three words to Anna.

"No matter who has the last piece of evidence, we must hold on until the end! Otherwise, our camp is doomed!" Liu Huang was panicking mightily inside, screaming at the top of his lungs.

His greatest fear now was Li Teng getting the last piece of evidence.

If Li Teng got the last piece of evidence, he could then execute Liu Huang by firing squad!

"He's not either? Could it be..." Anna turned around, looking suspiciously at Li Teng.

Her original plan was to expose another person after Liu Huang confessed, and then she would reveal her identity and hand over the evidence she had.

To her surprise, following Li Teng's method of unravelling the clues, she still hadn't been able to find that person.

So, there was only one reason left.

Li Teng was another Collaborator!

"I confess: I have evidence that the Traitor Leader had planned several terrorist acts against the liberated area," Li Teng walked over to Liu Huang, lifted the curtain, and confessed the last clue.

"You..." Liu Huang wore an expression of disbelief.

The two Collaborators turned out to be Li Teng and Anna!

This director really sets traps from start to finish!

"Why you? Why?" Anna started questioning Li Teng, triggering the plot once more.

"No particular reason, I love you, and for you, I can give up anything, even including my faith!" Li Teng responded to Anna from the script.

"Love you till death, must live life to the fullest, only such intensity can match the depth of feelings. Love you till death, must cry until we smile, even if the universe is destroyed, my heart remains..." The background music started playing.

"This is too melodramatic! I just can't act out any more of this!" Li Teng walked over to a wall, leaning on it and pretending to retch.

What kind of divine script is this? Does it carry on the glorious tradition of our country's hyper-dramatic wartime dramas?

Anna also held her forehead.

The music was just too embarrassing.

"We have gathered all four pieces of evidence, Comrade Gao Fei, you may execute the Traitor now," Li Teng called out to Gao Fei after a while.

Li Teng, being a drawn Collaborator belonging to the Traitor Camp, didn't have the authority to execute Traitor Leader Liu Huang.

"Okay!" Gao Fei walked over to the toolbox and took out a pistol.

"Weren't you tied up?" Liu Huang was surprised to see Gao Fei just walking over like that.

"Do I look like I'm tied up?" Gao Fei aimed the barrel of the pistol at Liu Huang's head.

"Are you crazy? He's been using you all along! He didn't care at all when you were being tortured! Don't let him use you as his pawn! If you join me, I will definitely give you a wealth of benefits!" Liu Huang quickly tried to divide Gao Fei and Li Teng.

"Too bad, I wasn't tortured, the three of us were just playing along with Anna's act," Gao Fei smiled, stretching out his hand and pulling the trigger... but the gun did not fire.

"You have to disengage the safety first." Anna walked over and helped Gao Fei disengage the safety.

"You piece of trash! Scum! I, on behalf of the state and the people, sentence you to death!" Gao Fei pulled the trigger again.

With a muffled 'bang', Liu Huang was shot in the head and died on the spot.

'CUT!'

The director's voice rang out.

The performance was over.
