"If you don’t leave now, then stay forever!" Zhu Yunshen snorted coldly.
But no one paid any attention to him. Qi Zhan and the others remained calm, showing none of the flushed faces and red ears from before.
Zhu Yunshen’s complexion immediately couldn’t hold up, realizing that by agreeing to let them go, he had already exposed something.
"The previous urgency and impatience were merely tactics to test what the situation outside was and what thoughts they had for them," Li Ming mused thoughtfully.
Leaving this place was not the ultimate goal; the ultimate goal was to completely dissociate from this incident.
"Old Zhu, I just want a straight answer, after leaving here, no one will use this incident to attack me, right?" Qi Zhan continued, as one of the top leaders of the intelligence department.
He was acutely aware of the impact of this incident, maybe his political enemies were already sharpening their knives outside.
"Minister Zhu, you have not been cleared of suspicion either, you just assisted in controlling the situation, we won’t make things difficult for you, go ask Elder Ren," someone added.
These people had many conflicts with each other, but at this moment, because of this incident, they were political allies.
Before leaving, the matter had to be resolved.
Zhu Yunshen’s face showed a mix of emotions. He had offended many people with his previous actions, and after leaving, there would surely be many petty troubles; if he continued to be obstinate, these people would really isolate him.
The opposition was right, after all, he himself was also one of the suspects, he hadn’t missed a single check in the villa.
"I’ll ask now, alright?" Zhu Yunshen seemed to compromise helplessly, walked to the side, and quickly contacted the top echelons of Blue Star.
He nodded from time to time, and then shook his head, his complexion changing, and finally with a stern expression, ended the communication.
A pair of eyes converged on Zhu Yunshen, he looked around and said in a deep voice, "Elder Ren has already guaranteed that everyone here has been cleared of suspicion, it is impossible for you to be the murderers of Fu Zongchen."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room relaxed at once, and immediately someone laughed and said, "Minister Zhu, what happened just now was out of necessity, don’t hold it against us."
"I should be the one apologizing to everyone, the situation was urgent after the death of Fu Zongchen, and it’s true that I have offended in some aspects," Zhu Yunshen apologized profusely.
Qi Zhan then said loudly, "Everyone, Elder Ren has vouched for us. If after leaving here, there are those with ill intentions who deliberately link us with the death of Fu Zongchen."
"I hope everyone will stand up and testify for this matter."
"Naturally," the crowd chimed in agreement.
A political alliance had already been established, of course, it was only for this incident, perhaps after leaving this place, there might still be those who would strike each other down.
But as far as this matter was concerned, they were undoubtedly political allies.
"Does that include us?" Qi Xing suddenly asked, pointing at Li Ming and Roth, the young ones present.
He was curious, participating in such a matter for the first time gave him an inexplicable thrill.
"Of course," his father said solemnly, "including everyone present, even the bodyguards, security, city guards ..."
The elimination had to start from the root, or else there was no telling how many people would be involved.
Li Ming’s expression was odd, this matter had become taboo? Very interesting.
The many officials present held substantial weight in the politics of Blue Star, with complex connections threaded throughout.
So, the first thing Zhu Yunshen did was block the signal.
Ren Cangsong also didn’t dare let them leave, as investigating the incident after they had gone would be as hard as reaching the heavens.
Once they got what they wanted, naturally, no one was keen on lingering, they all left, boarded their hovercars, and went their separate ways.
"Who do you think did it?" Qi Xing was still discussing the matter with Li Ming before getting into the car, extremely curious.
"No bullet holes outside, and none inside, where do you think the bullet came from, it’s quite odd, hey," he said as he left filled with doubt.
On the car ride, Luo Chuan was frowning, seemingly pondering the same issue.
"Do you think it could have been the teacher?" he suddenly asked.
Li Ming was speechless, "Brother, I’ve never seen anyone try to take the blame onto themselves like you."
The driver, Zhang Zhaoyuan, was confused; he vaguely guessed that something had happened in the house but didn’t know the extent of it.
Luo Chuan heard this and couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly, "I’m just speculating, but now that Fu Zongchen is dead, Prince Bai Jiang has an excuse to intervene."
Fu Zongchen was dead? Zhang Zhaoyuan was momentarily stunned, deeply shocked,
Luo Chuan did not avoid the driver, the matter could not be kept secret for long anyway.
"But actually, it feels quite refreshing," Luo Chuan said, laughing again, "Fu Zongchen barely had a few hours of glory before he kicked the bucket, haha..."
Li Ming smiled silently.
When they returned to the lab, Xu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
They should have returned yesterday afternoon, but not only did they not return, even the driver couldn’t be contacted, Xu had been so anxious, he thought something had happened.
After a trip to Fu Zongchen’s villa and finding it surrounded, he guessed something had happened, but he couldn’t get any news from any source.
Not long ago, when he received a message from Luo Chuan and saw both of them returning with his own eyes, only then did he truly relax.
When he learned that it was because of Fu Zongchen’s murder that they were kept there, Xu Pinghu was dumbfounded and then loudly cheered.
Luo Chuan and Li Ning seemed to have something on their minds and didn’t talk much before parting ways.
Back in his own room, Li Ming took out his smart terminal, opened the Black Hole Network, found the cripple, and sent a line of text--"Mission Completed".
After waiting a while and getting no reply, Li Ming didn’t mind, he shut off the smart terminal, lay down facing up, and suddenly laughed silently.
Six hundred thousand metal energy, haha
By mid-afternoon, the cripple still hadn’t responded. Li Ming got ready and went to the training room, it had already been a day since he last exercised, his body was itching for it.
