91: Processing results

Jiang Fei lay amidst the rubble and sent his final message: "Teacher, please help..."

He lowered his arm, staring silently at the starry sky.

If Uncle Liu knew his daughter had done such a thing, he would probably have strangled Liu Yan with his own hands.

That silent, steady man; he hadn't sacrificed his life on the cruel Outer Heaven Battlefield, but died here on the relatively safe Earth Star to save him.

He hadn't even had time to educate his own daughter...

Even if ten Uncle Lius were tied together now, they wouldn't be a match for one of Jiang Fei's punches, yet whenever he thought of that broad back, a sense of security always welled up in Jiang Fei's heart.

That was why every time Liu Yan did something stupid, Jiang Fei would tell himself to 'endure it a little longer'...

"Why didn't you just die? I could have collected your corpse directly." A cold voice rang out.

Jiang Fei looked at the figure in mid-air blocking the moon and smiled glibly: "How could I do that? I haven't properly honored you yet..."

Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.

"Heh, I couldn't bear that honor." The woman sneered: "Speak, what exactly happened?"

She had no intention of healing Jiang Fei; she was right there, so even if his injuries were severe, he wouldn't die.

It would do him good to learn a lesson...

The entire Zhenwu Bureau was saying that Jiang Fei had run off with the Cultivation Technique, but she knew that wasn't the case at all.

The Cultivation Technique Jiang Fei practiced wasn't bad; she had carefully selected it for him.

Although it couldn't compare to the Martial God Scroll created by the former director... the disparity in gains was too great; Jiang Fei wouldn't be so confused.

"It was just... carelessness." Knowing he couldn't hide anything from his teacher, Jiang Fei told her the reason in detail.

The woman was silent for a long time, then mocked again: "You certainly are 'loyal and righteous'; if one day the alien races used her as a hostage to force you to betray Great Qin, would you do the same?"

Jiang Fei said sternly: "I would not!"

"You wouldn't? Then how is your current behavior any different from defection?"

"I..." Jiang Fei was speechless.

At this moment, several more figures arrived through the air; they were the Martial Artists from the Qiyang City Zhenwu Bureau.

They had rushed over immediately after receiving Jiang Fei's message, but they hadn't expected a second person to be there.

Just as they were about to be on guard, the woman spoke: "I am Feng Jinglan. The case of Jiang Fei's 'defection' is hereby reopened!"

"... Yes!"

...

On the way to the Qiyang City Zhenwu Bureau with Liu Yan, Chu Yuan received Jiang Fei's second message.

The content was simple: a farewell.

He was going to the front lines of the Outer Heaven Battlefield... The verdict for Liu Yan was life imprisonment, which was already the best possible outcome.

Chu Yuan had long known that going to the front lines of the Outer Heaven Battlefield was an opportunity for a Martial Artist, but it was also the harshest punishment!

Specifically... it depended on the location.

Given the nature of Jiang Fei's incident, he would likely be sent to the most dangerous place to carry out the most dangerous missions!

Commonly known as cannon fodder...

Although it was a waste to send a young, promising Fourth Realm Martial Artist to serve as cannon fodder, discipline was discipline; there were some bottom lines that could never be crossed!

If you shielded a rebel today because of personal feelings, would you disobey military orders tomorrow for the same reason? Or even... betray Great Qin?

Even if Jiang Fei didn't try to protect Liu Yan and pushed all the blame onto her, he still couldn't escape the crime of 'dereliction of duty'...

Chu Yuan's gaze towards Liu Yan became colder and more disgusted, making her shrink her neck involuntarily.

He really wanted to slaughter her, but if he did, everything Jiang Fei had done would be in vain!

Liu Yan's death might even become a Heart Demon for Jiang Fei...

Cultivation emphasized a clear state of mind, and Martial Artists were no exception.

Especially after reaching a high level, a Martial Artist's cultivation was no longer just about absorbing energy.

A Martial Artist with a clear state of mind compared to one plagued by past events—it was obvious who would advance faster...

Liu Yan didn't yet know her fate was sealed and was still curious about where she was being taken.

She was already in despair; this murderous demon, even the Public Security Bureau didn't dare provoke him!

Who else could save her...

Seeming to sense the fear in her heart, Chu Yuan suddenly spoke: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't kill you."

"Re... really?" Liu Yan asked timidly.

Chu Yuan broke into a brilliant smile: "Of course it's true. Given your relationship with Jiang Fei, how could I lay a hand on you? Not only will I not kill you, I will... give you a life you never imagined."

He already knew how to deal with Liu Yan.

Her sentence was life imprisonment, but in reality, no one cared about the life or death of an ordinary person like her.

Except for Jiang Fei, Chu Yuan, Feng Jinglan, Ma Hui, Chen Yun...

Anyway, after the Qiyang City Zhenwu Bureau heard that Chu Yuan wanted to 'borrow' the prisoner for a few days, they agreed quite readily...

...

"Why did you bring me here?" Liu Yan looked at the office building in front of her, feeling puzzled.

This was where her company was located; she was naturally very familiar with it.

Chu Yuan chuckled: "To say goodbye to the past, one needs a bit of ritual, doesn't one?"

Then he walked forward on his own.

Liu Yan followed quickly; she felt Chu Yuan was a bit of a psychopath and was even more afraid to provoke him.

To her surprise, just as they walked into the office building, they saw a large crowd of people rushing over in a grand procession.

Leading them was the company president, who was usually high and mighty, as if speaking another word to them would dirty his own mouth.

But at this moment, the other party had lost that overbearing manner, bowing respectfully with a face full of enthusiasm that bordered on sycophancy.

"I am Cheng Jianlong, here with the whole company to welcome the leader's visit and guidance!"

Liu Yan opened her mouth slightly. This was Cheng Jianlong?

The billionaire boss feared by so many in the company?

Why was he... so respectful to a murderer?

Chu Yuan seemed not to see the hand extended towards him and said indifferently: "Guidance is not necessary, but I heard that Liu Yan suffered a lot of grievances at your company?"

In fact, Liu Yan hadn't said anything, and he hadn't asked anything; it was just that... for anyone working outside, who hadn't suffered grievances or been made things difficult for?

Cheng Jianlong's smile froze, and he hurriedly explained: "No! Absolutely not! Our company's atmosphere is actually quite good..."

Chu Yuan interrupted him: "Whether it is or isn't isn't for you to say. Liu Yan, identify them."

"Oh... Ah?"

"Whoever has made you suffer grievances in the past, or made things difficult for you... identify them."

Liu Yan was dazed, her gaze lingering for a moment on a balding middle-aged man.

The man met her gaze, revealing an awkward, pleading smile.

"Supervisor Wang... He once harassed me..."

Before Chu Yuan could speak, Cheng Jianlong's expression changed violently: "There's such a thing!? Wang Wenkang, you are fired! From now on, no one in the entire industry will hire you again!"

Supervisor Wang's face turned deathly pale, and he actually fell to his knees with a thud: "President Cheng! I know I was wrong! Liu Yan... Liu Yan, I know I was wrong, please forgive me... I can't lose this job! I still have a wife and children..."

"Security, drag him out!"

Liu Yan watched the balding man, whom she had only dared to complain about behind his back, being dragged out by security without any dignity.

A flame suddenly rose in her eyes...

"Team Leader Li, she scolded me before..."
