Chapter 532 - Too Many Opportunities (First Update)

Xia Chujian looked at Master Su again, and asked curiously, "Master Su, does this Rong Zhongruo have a big background?"

Master Su frowned and said, "Rong Zhongruo is a distant cousin of the Rong Family."

"Although the Rong Family is only an Earl, it is the leading family under the Four Great Dukes."

"The old generation of the Rong Family had an aunt who married into the Li Family."

"She is now the Madam of the old Duke of the Li Family."

Quan Yuxun frowned and said, "Madam Rong Chunqiu of the Li Family? She is not a simple person."

"Chujian, did you really kill Rong Zhongruo?"

Xia Chujian was dizzy from this series of aristocratic family trees.

She rubbed her forehead and said, "Yes, I brought back his body. Anyway, I have evidence that he attacked me first. I was just defending myself."

"Besides, this was a mission given to us by the Military. Isn't it a violation of military discipline for him to interfere?"

Xia Chujian said so much, but didn't mention many key pieces of information.

Quan Yuxun heard it, but he didn't mean to ask further.

That should be a Military secret. As the Chief Legal Counsel of the Senate, it wouldn't do him any good to know too much.

He smiled and said, "Rong Zhongruo is considered a high-ranking member of the Military. Marshal Huo should help clean up his affairs. I won't interfere blindly."

"I can try other things. For example, do you have evidence that Chu Qingchen and those noble students deliberately delayed the Warplane, and even deliberately put his Marine Corps under his command in a dead end?"

Xia Chujian thought for a while, and secretly glanced at Huo Yushen, just wanting to know if she could speak.

Huo Yushen didn't look at her directly, but the corner of his eye had already taken in her line of sight.

Huo Yushen was still in that cold tone, and said lightly: "First Lieutenant Xia may have to go to the Military Court. It's okay to talk to Chief Quan Da first."

Xia Chujian's fingers tightened unconsciously, and she frowned and said, "...Why should I go to the Military Court? It's clearly their fault! I have the surveillance video from their Airship!"

As soon as she said this, Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "Is the video original? Has it been edited or modified?"

Xia Chujian said angrily, "Of course not! Am I the kind of person who tampers with videos?!"

"Besides, how could I have such powerful technical means... I'm not a software master!"

In fact, with Seven Lù by her side, modifying or editing videos was easy, but she never thought of doing so.

She had her own pride and disdained doing such framing things.

At most, she would let Seven Lù record more videos in private, so that these people could expose themselves.

Quan Yuxun said, "As long as the video is an original record, then it's okay. I guarantee you won't have to go to the Military Court."

Like civil and criminal cases, Military cases also require sufficient evidence before they can be filed in the Military Court.

As long as Xia Chujian had evidence to prove what Chu Qingchen and the others had done, then the charges of "suspected of killing Starry Sky Marines, seizing spoils of war, and trading with the enemy" would be on Chu Qingchen and the others, not her.

Xia Chujian also said with confidence: "Later, they tried to kill me to silence me. You have all seen these videos. They were the ones who attacked first!"

"At that time, Lü Luyu even killed Zhuo Hanchen to silence him!"

"Zhuo Hanchen was the one who poisoned my Airship."

"By the way, Zhuo Hanchen is the Zhuo Family member who was stripped of his title not long ago, but it is said that he just came out of the fifth mourning period, so he doesn't have to be executed. His father seems to have been executed."

Quan Yuxun nodded: "This person doesn't need to be considered. He deserved to die."

"Chu Qingchen, Ji Nabi, and Lü Luyu all attacked you proactively, and you have evidence. You don't need to go to the Military Court for their deaths either."

"There's just one more person you didn't mention."

Quan Yuxun was indeed meticulous in his thinking.

He heard Xia Chujian mention the Chu Qingchen five-person group earlier, which included Hui Zhifeng.

But when talking about their fate later, he didn't mention Hui Zhifeng.

Xia Chujian said truthfully: "He was with Chu Qingchen and the others at the beginning, but later he found out that Chu Qingchen seemed to have other contacts, so he fell out with them."

"He helped me and saved my life when Rong Zhongruo attacked me, but he was killed by Rong Zhongruo..."

"I also have the video of Rong Zhongruo attacking Hui Zhifeng."

Quan Yuxun nodded, and asked again, peeling back the layers like an onion, "You said Zhuo Hanchen released poison, poisoning so many people, and then Zhuo Hanchen was killed by Lü Luyu, but you killed Chu Qingchen and the others before entering the airship, so how did you get the antidote?"

"I thought you would get the antidote before killing these people."

"If you had found the antidote from them, the chain of evidence would be more complete."

Xia Chujian felt a little guilty for no reason.

But she barely managed to hold her ground, saying, "The situation at the time was like this: I encountered Chu Qingchen and the others outside the airship first, and couldn't contact the inside of the airship. So I only knew that something had happened, but I didn't know what."

"Therefore, I killed them directly outside. After entering, I found that my people had been poisoned."

Quan Yuxun raised his eyebrows: "And then? What kind of poison did they have? And how did you detoxify them?"

What Quan Yuxun was thinking was that the poison that Chu Qingchen and the others had put so much effort into using must be extraordinary.

He originally thought that Xia Chujian had broken up with Chu Qingchen and the others for the sake of these people, asking them for the antidote, and that the other party wanted to continue killing people to silence them, and then Xia Chujian killed them.

Now it seems that's not the case? He was even more interested.

Xia Chujian thought for a while.

Not only were these two thousand people detoxified, but they also became Gene Evolvers.

This will soon be known to many people.

It can't be hidden.

So she could only hope that these three would help her come up with a safe way.

Xia Chujian showed a somewhat ashamed and guilty expression, and said with a smile, "It's like this, by chance..."

As soon as she said this, Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "Lieutenant Xia's chances seem to be a bit numerous."

Xia Chujian said with a stiff neck, "Too much? Not much, right? It's just good luck..."

Huo Yushen's gaze came over, with a bit of scrutiny in his silence.

Su Buyan was full of joy and said loudly, "Our Chujian has a good character and good luck, isn't that what should be!"

"If it weren't for her..."

Xia Chujian quickly laughed and interrupted Su Buyan.

Then she glanced at the three people in the room and said seriously, "It's really a coincidence."

"You all know my Aunt, she got Genetic Disease and has been lying in the hospital for three years, right?"

Su Buyan and Quan Yuxun nodded together.

They came from great families, and they had investigated her background before dealing with Xia Chujian.

Only Huo Yushen remained silent, without any movement.

Of course, he also knew that Xia Yuanfang was Xia Chujian's only relative, and he had also investigated Xia Yuanfang.

There was something wrong with Xia Yuanfang's background, so he pinned the reason for Xia Yuanfang's recovery on Xia Yuanfang herself.

He didn't associate her recovery with Xia Chujian.

Now, listening to Xia Chujian say this, he felt that his investigation direction might be wrong.

Xia Chujian dropped a bombshell: "...Those poisoned Marine Corps and pilots also had symptoms of Genetic Disease. It's just that the symptoms were more severe."

"After I recognized it, I happened to think of my Aunt's symptoms, and the reason why my Aunt was able to wake up was because..."

Xia Chujian hesitated again, pretending to be embarrassed, and said, "You have to swear that after hearing it, you can't tell anyone."

"If you break your oath, you will lose everything you want in your life, including your money, status, and family background!"

Quan Yuxun twitched his lips and said, "Shouldn't you say including the person you love the most? Why swear with money, status, and family background?"

Xia Chujian said righteously: "Isn't it stupid to swear with the person you love the most!"

"Who doesn't know that the person you love the most is constantly changing? If you lose it today, you'll have a new one tomorrow. Wouldn't I be at a great loss if I used this to make you swear?!"

"It's still money, status, and family background that can touch the souls of people like you more!"

Huo Yushen said lightly: "It's these things that can touch the soul of someone like you..."

Who doesn't know she's a little money grubber!

Su Buyan and Quan Yuxun laughed together.

Xia Chujian beamed: "Marshal Huo understands me best! Yes, only money and status can touch my soul!"

"As for family background, I don't have it, so it can't touch my soul."

"Only you have these things, so of course they can only touch your souls."

Quan Yuxun smiled and changed his posture, saying, "And then? Genetic Disease is an incurable disease. I'd really like to hear how your aunt got better."

Xia Chujian said, "Let's swear an oath first. After you swear, each of you transfer 50 million Beichen Coins to me as a deposit, and I'll tell you."

Su Buyan: "!!!"

Quan Yuxun: "..."

Huo Yushen directly lowered his head and, without blinking, transferred 50 million Beichen Coins to Xia Chujian.

When Xia Chujian heard the clinking sound of money entering her account on her Smart Bracelet, she really beamed.

She thought Quan Yuxun would be the first to transfer the money to her.

Because in her heart, she felt that Quan Yuxun was the richest.

But when she saw that Huo Yushen was the first to transfer the money, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She looked up at Huo Yushen and asked tentatively, "...Marshal Huo, is the salary of the Special Security Bureau Inspector-General that high?"

She knew that Huo Yushen didn't come from a noble family, but climbed up through his own ability.

Could this 50 million Beichen Coins be saved from his salary? If so, she would really consider whether to "usurp" the position of Special Security Bureau Inspector-General...

Huo Yushen said casually, "This is money I earned from investments when I was in college."

Xia Chujian: "...Never mind. Next."

The way a genius makes money is too much for a loser to bear.

Su Buyan transferred 50 million to her with a smile.

He had actually transferred it earlier than Huo Yushen, but unfortunately, he wasn't as fast as Huo Yushen, so he was still a step behind.

When Xia Chujian saw Su Buyan's transfer, she winked at him, telling him not to worry, she would transfer it back.

But Quan Yuxun was late to transfer.

Xia Chujian had no choice but to say, "Chief Quan Da, if you don't believe me, you can go out first. After I finish telling Marshal Huo and Master Su about this, you can come back in."

This is First Update. There will be a Second Update at 1 p.m.
