The second personality chuckled, resignedly saying, "Sure, I’ll wait for this gentleman to come over with the interrogation credentials. By then, I’ll say everything I know, leaving no detail out! But let me say it upfront, I don’t know anything more than you do. You’re asking in vain. Don’t regret it later, complaining about a wasted trip..."

Du Chenshuang maintained a cold face, silently pondering the underlying meaning of "Gu Ningxuan’s" words. After a little while, he said, "Mr. Gu’s words seem to imply that the anomaly at the time had nothing to do with you and was entirely someone else’s doing?"

The other person Du Chenshuang referred to was naturally Su Jiameng, but compared to Su Jiameng, he leaned more towards suspecting Gu Ningxuan. The actions of the second personality are somewhat constrained by the first personality’s thoughts, so he naturally wouldn’t betray Su Jiameng. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The second personality, full of cunning, smiled mysteriously and said, "Who told you it was only me and my employer at the time?"

Upon hearing this, Du Chenshuang’s face changed dramatically. Misled, he thought of a terrifying "possibility"! Since that mysterious figure could make large amounts of Credit Points disappear out of thin air and easily break through the intelligent defense systems, what couldn’t they do?

The entire interstellar network seemed like a vulnerable net full of holes to this person, perhaps something unspeakable had happened? The surveillance system of Nocturnal Song City isn’t omnipotent. Who can guarantee that the person in action didn’t erase themselves from the surveillance footage?

Thinking (imagining) this possibility, Du Chenshuang couldn’t sit still. He couldn’t wait to go back and verify his thoughts. Of course, once he returned, the second personality had successfully created supposed traces of the "mysterious figure’s" existence.

"Do you know who the other party is?" Du Chenshuang continued to ask, the second personality blatantly lying without a shred of guilt.

"Of course, I don’t know. They appeared very suddenly, and then..." As if thinking of something terrible, the second personality immediately stopped talking, revealing a hint of annoyance, as if angry at themselves for being too quick to speak.

Still harboring doubts, Du Chenshuang said with feigned anger, "What does the truth have to do with you? You’re meddling like a dog chasing after mice! If you can’t provide legitimate interrogation credentials, don’t keep pestering me here, how boring!"

After speaking, the second personality tapped the bar counter heavily with the glass and shouted to the bartender, "Another drink!"

No matter what method Du Chenshuang used afterward, the second personality stubbornly refused to reveal the truth, gulping down high concentrations of alcohol one glass after another, all the while maintaining a dour expression. Finally, the second personality rendered themselves drunk with this rapid drinking method.

Du Chenshuang’s face was grim; he wasn’t naïve enough to think he could extract any useful questions while the other person was drunk.

As a former heir of the Gu Family, what kind of training had Gu Ningxuan not undergone? Such training to prevent drunken revelations was just child’s play. If he easily fell for it and interrogated while the other was drunk, he’d likely be the one getting duped...

Since time immemorial, there has been talk of truth spoken in drunkenness. To prevent such a low-level mistake, necessary ruthless training couldn’t be spared. The second personality’s recklessness in getting themselves drunk was for no other reason than two purposes. One, to provoke Du Chenshuang, and two, to have him foot the bill. Understanding the deeper meaning, it would indeed be strange for Du Chenshuang to look happy!

Despite wanting to just dump the other person and leave them there, Du Chenshuang thought it over, eventually softening up and carrying them over his shoulder back to Su Jiameng’s place. By that time, the number of customers in the bar had increased, and seeing a man with both excellent physique and looks, full of masculine charm, carrying a much younger-looking young man away on his shoulder, they all exchanged knowing glances of "we understand".

Du Chenshuang wasn’t exactly a saint either, often enjoying visits to bars for a light drink in his free time. Faced with those speculative glances, his face darkened even more. Of course, in the imaginative minds of many a fujoshi and fudanshi, this turned into a scene of a domineering, crafty emperor-like seme jarringly taking away his own gentle and cute uke, jealous when seen by others... what a beautiful scenario...

Not far from the Su Mansion, Du Chenshuang dumped the groggy second personality and said, "Stop pretending to sleep, wake up! I’ve thought a lot along the way and felt there are many problems with what you said... Hmph, once I go back and investigate, if what you’ve said is deceiving me, we’ll settle all accounts together then!"
