Chapter 446: Accusation
“Zuo Qing…” Bai Li Xin furrowed his brows slightly, “What are you doing here?”
Zuo Qing walked through the chaotic venue, heading straight for Bai Li Xin, when suddenly, an arm blocked his path.
He paused, turning his head in confusion, and saw Jia Lan standing beside him in a long dress, watching him warily, looking as if she wanted to keep her distance.
Zuo Qing smiled helplessly and pulled a shiny badge from his pocket, displaying it to the crowd.
“I am Zuo Qing, Director of the Special Operations Department of the Night Watch.” Zuo Qing stated his identity, but Jia Lan stubbornly stood in front of him, seemingly unable to comprehend what he was saying. He couldn’t help but add, “I’m your superior. Can you let me pass?”
“Jia Lan.” Lin Qi Ye’s voice came from behind her.
Jia Lan turned her head, and Lin Qi Ye gave her a look, prompting her to obediently step aside.
Zuo Qing looked at the white-haired youth radiating magical energy and was momentarily taken aback before exclaiming in surprise, “Lin Qi Ye, when did you dye your hair?”
Lin Qi Ye: …
“Wait…” Zuo Qing carefully sensed the aura around Lin Qi Ye, his expression turning puzzled. “Why do you have the aura of other deities on you?”
“We can discuss that later.” Lin Qi Ye skillfully shifted the topic. “Director Zuo, what brings you here?”
Although Lin Qi Ye was not clear about the internal structure of the Night Watch, he knew that all special teams fell under the Special Operations Department. Zuo Qing was indeed correct; he was the director of the Special Operations Department, making him the direct superior of all special teams. The Fifth Reserve Team, while not yet a special team, still fell under his jurisdiction.
This was a genuine high-ranking official of the Night Watch.
“I’m your superior after all. It’s our first meeting, why so cold…” Zuo Qing shrugged. “I’m here to arrest someone.”
“Arrest someone?” Lin Qi Ye was taken aback.
Zuo Qing’s gaze fell on the disheveled Bai Li Xin, and he cleared his throat, speaking seriously: “Bai Li Xin, Chairman of the Bai Li Group and Honorary High-Ranking Member of the Night Watch, I am here under the orders of the Supreme Commander Ye Fan to arrest you immediately on charges of ‘unauthorized alteration of confidential documents,’ ‘bribery,’ and ‘murder.’”
Upon hearing Zuo Qing’s words, Bai Li Xin’s body trembled violently.
He raised his head, staring incredulously into Zuo Qing’s eyes, seemingly unable to comprehend how Ye Fan knew all of this. After a long pause, he hoarsely replied, “I don’t understand what you’re saying…”
Zuo Qing sneered, “Bai Li Xin, you’re just an honorary high-ranking member. Do you really think you can act with impunity within the Night Watch? Do you really believe that simply changing the photos can erase all traces of a Night Watch member’s existence?
What do you take the lives of the Night Watch for?”
Bai Li Xin stared into Zuo Qing’s eyes, his expression slightly changing, but his gaze remained sharp.
“If I’m not mistaken, you don’t have any evidence, do you?” he said with a cold smile.
“Evidence is already being collected by the Intelligence Department.” Zuo Qing’s brows furrowed slightly as he stepped closer to Bai Li Xin, speaking each word deliberately. “You won’t be able to push away any of the dirty deeds you’ve done under the banner of the Night Watch’s honorary high-ranking member.”
Bai Li Xin’s lips curled slightly, and he scoffed, “Zuo Qing, do you really think I don’t understand the rules of the Night Watch? As long as you don’t have solid evidence to convict me, I’m still an honorary high-ranking member of the Night Watch, which means we are still on equal footing!
Even if you want to investigate me, it must be summoned by the Night Watch Military Court. You have no right to arrest me!
I believe Ye Fan didn’t say it that way, did he?”
Zuo Qing’s expression darkened as he stared at Bai Li Xin’s mocking face. After a long silence, he slowly pulled a document from his pocket.
“This is a summons from the Military Court. Bai Li Xin, you can’t escape this.”
Bai Li Xin’s gaze swept over the document, his eyes narrowing. “Since it’s a summons from the Military Court, I will certainly go… but until then, I am still an honorary high-ranking member of the Night Watch.”
Bai Li Xin extended his hand, pointing at Lin Qi Ye and the others standing not far away, and coldly stated:
“The Fifth Reserve Team indiscriminately slaughtered thirteen people, including my son Bai Li Jing, deliberately damaged Bai Li Group’s facilities, attempted to kill seventy-two guests present, severely injured all members of the 010 Team who came to uphold justice, released highly dangerous evil creatures, jeopardizing social stability, and even attempted to murder the current honorary high-ranking member of the Night Watch… I wonder if my accusations will be accepted by you, Director Zuo?”
Lin Qi Ye and the others’ expressions turned grim.
Zuo Qing glared at Bai Li Xin, “Bai Li Xin, are you still human?”
Bai Li Xin sneered, “Director Zuo, you’re standing right here. The bodies are in the corner of the venue, the evidence is undeniable… are you trying to cover for your subordinate in the reserve team?”
A black magic circle opened beneath Bai Li Xin’s feet!
Zuo Qing’s pupils constricted, and he grabbed Bai Li Xin by the collar, instantly disappearing from the spot.
In the next moment, blades of swords burst forth from the magic circle, piercing through the spot where Bai Li Xin had just been. Zuo Qing halted a short distance away, abruptly turning to look at the extremely grim-faced Lin Qi Ye, and spoke in a deep voice:
“Lin Qi Ye, do you know what you’re doing?”
The magical robe behind Lin Qi Ye fluttered without wind as he calmly looked at Zuo Qing and extended his palm once more.
“I said, he must die here today…”
Three consecutive spatial magic circles appeared around Zuo Qing, completely enveloping him. The spatial teleportation was activated in an instant, and the next moment, Zuo Qing’s figure was teleported away, disappearing from sight.
Just then, a flash of green blade light tore through the void, and Zuo Qing forcibly interrupted the spatial teleportation process, appearing a few meters away from Bai Li Xin.
“Are you crazy? If you really kill Bai Li Xin today, things will be truly irreversible!” Zuo Qing shouted while dodging the successive magical traps. “Let the Military Court judge his crimes, and let him receive the punishment he deserves. Isn’t that better?”
“The punishment he deserves?” Lin Qi Ye’s eyes narrowed. “Tell me, what kind of punishment will he receive? Will he be sentenced to death?”
Zuo Qing was taken aback. “No, the Night Watch does not have the death penalty, and besides, he was once an honorary high-ranking member. If the evidence is conclusive, he will be sent to the fasting house to spend the rest of his life…”
Lin Qi Ye sneered, “Since you won’t kill him… then we’ll have to do it ourselves.”
Lin Qi Ye’s figure flickered and he directly appeared in front of Zuo Qing, several sealing spells simultaneously activated, trapping him forcefully!
“Fatty!” Lin Qi Ye turned to look at Bai Li Pang Pang, who was standing still, and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Go kill the person you want to kill…
The consequences, we’ll bear together.”
