Pei Jinye slightly raised his eyes in response to Xu Tian’s loud scolding, his look one of mocking defiance: “Why should I?”

“Why should you?” Upon hearing this question, Xu Tian let out a cold laugh.

But before his furious rebuke could erupt.

Pei Jinye interrupted: “Let me ask you, is Jiang Suhu a criminal? Has Xing Tian confirmed the facts of his crime? If not, why did we receive orders to arrest him? If all is true, why don’t you guys who feed on the Federation’s dime figure out how to judge the guilty, instead of harping on endlessly about this kind of thing, do you still remain loyal to the Federation at all? Everybody can preach about principles, but push me further and despite my injuries, I’ll take you down!”

Xu Tian’s aura was suddenly suppressed by Pei Jinye.

The female stenographer responsible for recording the dialogue couldn’t help but stop writing, lifting her head to look at Pei Jinye thoughtfully behind her thick glasses.

Xu Tian became somewhat angered and embarrassed: “These aren’t the concerns you should have! Remember your current status! If the battlefield were filled with people making decisions on their own like you, it would be total chaos!”

“Making decisions on our own?” Pei Jinye coldly chuckled: “I don’t understand what you’re talking about?”

“Are you saying you didn’t hear the retreat signal?”

“No.”

“No? How is that possible! You’re lying!”

Pei Jinye looked at Xu Tian, who seemed fierce on the outside but timorous on the inside, and mocked lightly: “If you continue to interrogate me with such an unprofessional demeanor, I have the right to submit a supervision report to headquarters and thoroughly investigate your motives!”

Xu Tian was taken aback.

Narrowing his eyes.

“It seems you learned quite a few regulations in just a few days after joining the Investigation Team.”

Pei Jinye scoffed: “It’s more upright than you following me around for no reason, isn’t it?”

“Don’t record that,” Xu Tian suddenly spoke.

The female stenographer paused, silently deleting the sentence she had just recorded, but couldn’t help glancing curiously at Xu Tian.

Xu Tian gave Pei Jinye a cold look: “Don’t play word games with me, and don’t try to divert attention to muddle through. Since you’re not forthcoming with your confession, according to federal law, I have the right to conduct a truth verification. If you refuse, then I might not be so gentle.”

He turned his head to look at the female stenographer, “Begin the truth verification.”

“Yes, sir.”

Xu Tian took out a metal sphere from his hand.

“Hold it.”

Pei Jinye looked at Xu Tian, slowly reaching out his hand in response to the other’s mocking gaze, and calmly asked before doing so: “If it turns out that I haven’t lied, how should we proceed?”

“Sorry, I don’t think that’s a possibility,” Xu Tian bluntly said.

Pei Jinye said no more.

He reached out and held the metal sphere.

The moment he touched it, the metal sphere suddenly extended a golden tendril that clasped his hand, an invisible spiritual power began to control his spiritual world.

Without notice.

Impregnable defense ready to trap the visitor!

“The veracity detector has started, Pei Jinye, tell me about everything that happened last night, including whether you heard the retreat message. Under the magnetic field of the veracity detector, if you lie, it can be clearly detected… If you lie, even that person won’t be able to save you.”

Xu Tian whispered into Pei Jinye’s ear.

After speaking, he did not regard Pei Jinye’s expression, but turned his head to the stenographer, “Record everything he says.”

“Understood, sir.”

Ten minutes later.

From receiving the mission to the point where he (Pei Jinye) and Hu Beng were left behind, followed by the sniper’s appearance, to his action in killing the sniper… Then Hu Beng was killed, he was enraged and fought intensely with the assailants… He killed the tall woman, then used a Triangular Military Dagger to ambush the man in Tang attire, and finally, when fighting Jiang Suhu, it had come to a point of life and death, and he could not hear any sound from the outside world…

After Pei Jinye finished speaking, suddenly the breathing machine sounded an alarm.

“Sir?” The stenographer froze, looking anxiously towards Xu Tian.

Xu Tian cursed quietly at the nuisance.

Obviously, he would not let Pei Jinye get into trouble, or else the person from Central State would definitely not let him off the hook.

Waving his hand.

Doctors and nurses were allowed in.

They began to resuscitate Pei Jinye.

From behind the crowd.

Xu Tian looked at the stenographer, who cautiously said, “Sir, there’s nothing wrong with his statement.”

“Nothing?” Xu Tian was stunned, then frowned and questioned, “Give me the report!”

The stenographer handed it over.

Xu Tian spent a good ten minutes reading it, including the final judgment given by the veracity detector… which also confirmed Pei Jinye’s statement.

But…

Xu Tian simply did not believe it!

He looked at Pei Jinye, who was undergoing resuscitation, his gaze locked tight.

“The one from Judgement Place has already interrogated and produced a result.” At the entrance of the city hall, Xie Zuxin had just gotten into the car when the aide by his side immediately reported in a low voice.

“What did they say?” Xie Zuxin’s gaze did not change, but his tone could clearly be perceived as slightly altered.

“They confirmed Pei Jinye’s statement. Considering his state at the time, it’s possible he was too focused on the life-and-death struggle, so he did not hear the retreat command. However, the one from Judgement Place has decided to apply for Xing Tian’s authority for a deeper assessment.”

Xie Zuxin did not speak.

The aide carefully watched him, waiting for what he would say next.

“Isolate him first, wait for the decision from above.”

Xie Zuxin’s comment made the aide pause for a moment, “Confinement?”

Xie Zuxin looked at him silently.

The aide immediately understood and nodded his head: “Alright, I’ll go make the arrangements right now.”

The door to the solitary confinement room closed.

Outside, Xu Tian peered through the small window on the door at Pei Jinye’s back, wordlessly watching for a moment before a “click” sealed the space.

“Sir?”

Xu Tian turned his head towards the stenographer who had spoken out of turn, and calmly asked: “Yes?”

The female stenographer hesitated for a moment before asking, “Regarding what’s next for Pei Jinye… What do you intend to do?”

“What to do?” Xu Tian suddenly looked her up and down: “Do you know him?”

“I don’t know him.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian withdrew his gaze and walked towards the door, his voice drifting back, “Then why do you care so much? Just do your job.”

The female secretary couldn’t help but be startled and turned back to look at the cold iron bars behind her, sighing softly in her heart.

Pei Jinye had his back to the door.

His eyes were closed.

As the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, he suddenly opened his eyes.

“Xu Tian…”

He didn’t feel any regret about what had happened last night.

Jiang Suhu deserved to die!

He had to die! The man had seen too many of his extraordinary abilities, and keeping such a person around would only be an invitation for trouble.

Moreover, the enemy had already found out about the situation of his parents… Should he wait to be killed when he faced danger again?

Either way, such foolish acts were not something Pei Jinye could commit.

As for the verification mentioned by Xu Tian, he was not worried in the slightest.

He was relieved that he had Devoured the ability Heavenly Calculation as well as a Breaking Limit Psychic Power Technique, which were more than enough to construct a convincing Spiritual World.

In fact.

When Brother Kui had warned him, Pei Jinye had already been on alert.

Having Devoured Zhao Qianfeng from Judgement Place, he had some idea of the methods Xu Tian might choose.

After over five minutes of “casual talking and tugging,” Pei Jinye managed to buy himself the perfect time to construct it.

What Pei Jinye hadn’t expected was that this fellow named Xu Tian seemed unwilling to let him go easily, which was somewhat irritating to Pei Jinye.

Now, he had become a thorn in the Jiang family’s side.

According to the plan.

Passing the Investigation Team’s and Judgement Place’s scrutiny safely, he would have time to go home and protect his parents.

But Xu Tian’s repeated requests to start an intelligent brain review disrupted his rhythm.

What irritated Pei Jinye even more was that Xie Zuxin, that old thief, showed absolutely no intention of saving him, completely pushing him out, as if he wanted Pei Jinye to be the scapegoat.

[I need to figure out a way.]

[I really want to kill them now!]

Vitality had dropped by four points.

Physical strength had dropped by three points.

Pei Jinye restrained his gaze.

Although the drop was a bit much, his recovery speed now was also fast… Appearing weak to others, he might be able to catch them off guard.

After a moment.

Pei Jinye stood up, took a position behind the door, and loudly called for someone.

But the two guards responsible for guarding him were unmoved.

The younger guard on the left seemed tempted to check, but was stopped by a look from the older guard next to him.

The young Flathead guard had to give up.

He sighed inwardly.

He had heard numerous versions about last night’s events, but no matter which one, he felt sympathy for Pei Jinye’s situation.

Seeing a comrade die before his eyes, going through great hardships to personally slay the enemy, only to end up under scrutiny from his superiors…

“Just because the other party has power, does it mean that even wearing the Federation’s skin, we cannot enforce the law on them?”

This morning, when the Flathead guard asked his master this question.

His master nonchalantly counter-asked, “Who do you think gave you the skin you’re wearing?”

The question left the freshly graduated Flathead guard helpless.

In the evening.

The clear sound of leather shoes on floor tiles echoed down the corridor.

The Flathead guard looked up to see the newcomer and was visibly taken aback, standing to attention and greeting, “Chief Xie!”

“Open the door.”

Xie Zuxin’s face was cold and indifferent.

The Flathead guard fumbled for the keys in a rush and unlocked the cell door where Pei Jinye was held.

Pei Jinye lay on the bed, wrapped in bandages that made it seem like his injuries were severe, with even some blood faintly visible on them.

He didn’t turn his head at the sound.

It was not until Xie Zuxin coughed that Pei Jinye slowly turned his head, seemingly surprised.

With naive sincerity he greeted, “Chief.”

Xie Zuxin looked at the injuries on his body and sighed lightly, “Do you blame me?”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

Xie Zuxin heard the resentfulness in his words, shook his head feeling that Pei Jinye was too young and impulsive, and sighed, “You were too reckless and rushed. Killing three of them by yourself, what if something happened to you? What about the rest of your life? After all, you’re just here to experience life, there’s no need to fight to the death…”

Xie Zuxin seemed to speak from the heart, positioning himself on a moral high ground.

He conveniently never mentioned that he himself had personally approved the mission, nor did he speak of the deceased Fan Dahai or Hu Beng… or those comrades who had already sacrificed their lives.

A subtle killing intent quietly gathered in the depths of Pei Jinye’s eyes, but he concealed it exceptionally well.

“Chief, I want to get out.”

“Don’t go out yet,” Xie Zuxin did not agree, unequivocally stating, “This matter has caused a big stir, and Mr. Xu from Judgement Place is about to conduct a deep verification on you, this matter still needs to be discussed in the town meeting, during this period you should stay in the cell and reflect on yourself, when it’s needed, someone will contact you.”

He paused.

Xie Zuxin turned to look at Pei Jinye, the words on the tip of his tongue ultimately swallowed back.

He just didn’t understand whether this youngster had any connection to the town hall; why did it seem that the Governor’s face looked very displeased today?

If there truly was a connection, was he perhaps going too far with his actions now?
