Successfully Rescuing Wen Xishu

The bunker's temperature is very suitable for human survival. Only around the time of the Great Devourment are there drastic temperature changes.

But right now, Xie Changfeng was covered in sweat on his forehead in this pleasant temperature.

He knew very well that if Wen Xishu was rescued from his hands, his own fate would not be good.

He wanted to sternly tell Albert that even a freshman from the Three Towers Academy could not evade the law.

But the words got to his lips, and he couldn't say them.

Because there were fifty-four guards outside the door, but with muffled groans, all fifty-four guards had fallen unconscious.

Xie Changfeng said, stammering slightly:

"Even... even you can't take... take him away! The director specifically requested him for interrogation."

"You should know that if you take him away, we will deploy armed forces!"

Albert actually stopped.

He said with some difficulty:

"That would be too terrifying, ah, I am just an old man in my twilight years, I don't want to face the bunker's army."

Seeing Albert stop, Xie Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Albert was also human.

This old man might have some abilities, but he definitely couldn't possibly be a match for a fully armed army by himself.

"Principal, I apologize, Wen Xishu carries the secret of the criminal Wen Chaohua, we..."

Xie Changfeng wanted to say that they would not allow Wen Xishu to leave.

But his statement was interrupted by the sound of dense footsteps from afar. A large group of people were approaching the interrogation room where he was.

A familiar voice came, making Xie Changfeng feel a sense of foreboding.

"Surround them, and ensure the safety of Mr. Albert!"

Liu Jinsen.

Someone Xie Changfeng despised from the bottom of his heart.

He might not have hated him so much originally, but when interrogating Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu kept expressing one idea: "If you want someone else, Liu Jinsen is much better than you."

This also caused Xie Changfeng to intensely dislike Liu Jinsen now.

After Albert arrived, personnel from the First Bureau of the Bunker Security Bureau also followed closely.

Albert patted the back of his head and laughed heartily again:

"Hahahahaha, thank you for your protection, you scared this old man to death. It seems you won't shoot me with guns, which would be very troublesome!"

Liu Jinsen arrived with over thirty elite field agents from the First Bureau of the Bunker Security Bureau.

There weren't many of them, but facing the interrogation department of the First Bureau, whose guards had all been wiped out, these people were more than enough.

Now, even if Xie Changfeng called for reinforcements, it would be too late. Moreover... he might not even be able to call them.

The fact that the First Bureau dared to openly snatch someone likely indicated that the outcome of the power struggle at the higher levels was not good.

And if all this were to be accounted for, it would most likely be attributed to - his failure in interrogation, Xie Changfeng, allowing the use of drugs, yet still dragging it out until a variable appeared.

Xie Changfeng grew more anxious and couldn't help but shout at Liu Jinsen:

"Do you know what you're doing! Wen Xishu is a criminal! This is no different from a jailbreak!"

Liu Jinsen was a straightforward person, but at this moment, he had also learned to deflect:

"I don't know what you're talking about. We are just here to protect an important figure of the bunker, a legend who turned the tide during the Great Devourment and was awarded a medal by the Bunker Elder Council – Mr. Albert Napolitano."

"What jailbreak? Where is Wen Xishu? I don't understand."

Xie Changfeng was shocked.

Why was it that today, no matter who he spoke to, he couldn't get through? Liu Jinsen, with his stern appearance, had also learned to feign ignorance?

Albert picked up the unconscious Wen Xishu on his back, still laughing familiarly:

"Hahahahaha, this old man accepts this favor! Kids these days are truly terrifying, always ganging up on the weak and old. Without your help, I couldn't have gotten out of this interrogation room."

Liu Jinsen was actually meeting this legend for the first time.

When he brought his men, he hadn't expected that over fifty elite agents from the First Bureau outside would all be lying on the ground.

Hearing Albert's words, even the taciturn Liu Jinsen couldn't help but think to himself:

You are the most terrifying one... it's the people from the First Bureau who should be scared.

Albert, carrying Wen Xishu on his back, walked out of the interrogation room and quickly headed towards the ascending passage, preparing to go to the eighth floor.

That was the fourth functional layer, and also where the Level Seven Facility, the Three Towers Academy, was located. Although it was a Level Seven Facility, the school was situated in the middle of the bunker.

This could be considered a statement, making the academy a bridge connecting the lower and upper levels.

It also represented that the academy could help people from the lower levels ascend to the upper echelons.

Before leaving, Liu Jinsen said:

"Old Principal, the Security Bureau might not let Wen Xishu go so easily. Our ability to help you rescue Wen Xishu is also partly a compromise."

Albert nodded:

"Speak, what does this kid have to pay? And what do I have to pay?"

Liu Jinsen said:

"Wen Xishu must cooperate with us and regularly... regularly go to the Tower of Deception."

Albert's gaze sharpened slightly.

The ascending passage was at the edge of each level, and despite being at the edge, the foot traffic was quite dense.

Even though there were many elites from the First Bureau around Liu Jinsen, he felt a sense of pressure at this moment.

The passersby around them felt inexplicably cold, their teeth chattering.

"No matter how high a score you got in the Tower of Deception last time, next time you might enter and die inexplicably."

"The Tower of Deception is unreasonable, you should know that very well. At the same time, you must understand that he is now my student."

Liu Jinsen lowered his head slightly and said:

"I apologize, old headmaster, we cannot back down on this matter. I can only tell you that I am responsible for Wen Xishu's ascent to the tower, and I will extend the cycle as much as possible."

"But the bureau chiefs have reached an agreement, Wen Xishu must regularly explore the Tower of Deception."

Liu Jinsen was already starting to feel the pressure, thinking about how to communicate.

Unexpectedly, Albert suddenly laughed:

"Alright, then so be it. Who told me I'm just a weak old man? You all scatter, I'm going back to Three Towers Academy now."

Liu Jinsen was stunned. He hadn't expected this legend to be more accommodating than anticipated and not make things difficult for him.

If Albert had refused to cooperate—

It was likely that the various departments of the Bunker would not have dared to do anything in the end. This old man truly had such capabilities. Perhaps only those few people in the Elder Council could counterbalance him.

He had once heard from the bureau chief's assistant that Albert's Three Towers Academy was an independent entity, possibly not inferior in scale to the Administration Bureau or the Security Bureau.

If Albert had made his stance known back then, perhaps the Wen family would have had a different outcome.

But for various reasons, Albert had not expressed his opinion, and even the attitude of the old headmaster today made Liu Jinsen feel exceptionally... cooperative.

In fact, Albert had intended to have Wen Xishu ascend the tower frequently.

It was also a favor to the Security Bureau.

Whether it was Liu Jinsen, the First Bureau of the Security Bureau, or Wen Renjing, Xun Hui...

None of these people could directly make Albert save Wen Xishu.

The reason he saved Wen Xishu was because he had already had this intention. However, Albert also needed to interview Wen Xishu.

Now, he was very satisfied with the result of the first round of interviews.

He didn't know what methods Wen Xishu had used to prevent Xie Changfeng from obtaining any information after such a long interrogation.

But seeing Wen Xishu's consciousness blurred and his body covered in rotten flesh, yet still not letting Xie Changfeng succeed, Albert was very satisfied with this.

Boisterous laughter echoed in the ascending passage, and the surrounding people looked with some confusion at the old man with white hair but well-defined muscles.

The old man didn't care, only thinking that these were the gazes from cute children.

Feeling the steady breathing of the child behind him, Albert had actually considered whether to ask about Wen Chaohua's secret now.

But that would be too boring. He didn't know why Wen Chaohua, one of his three most proud disciples, had become a villain...

But so what?

Compared to what he was doing, everything else was so insignificant, even to others, and even to the highest governing body of the Bunker.

If possible, Albert hoped that Wen Chaohua could cause something that would even shock him.

His thoughts returned to Wen Xishu:

"There are quite a few interesting little fellows among this year's new students, including you, plus those few from the fourth year."

"Perhaps the second golden age of the Bunker will arrive."

Wen Xishu had fallen into a deep sleep. Even if Albert voiced his inner thoughts, Wen Xishu could not respond.

However, Albert could feel the vigorous vitality emanating from this child.

He began to think about the content of the second "entrance interview."
