Charges
Creak—
Han ng slowly pushed open his room door, and a garden full of spring scenery, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, assaulted his senses.
Compared to the place where Han ng was imprisoned before, the environnt in the Pu Family was truly much better. Not only did no one restrict his freedom, but his three als a day never repeated. Rather than saying it was imprisonnt, it was more appropriate to call it a vacation.
But even though the living environnt was so good, Han ng's expression still didn't show the slightest bit of joy.
He just stood quietly at the door in his black clothes, as cold and heavy as an iceberg, his aura completely out of place with the surrounding environnt.
"Morning, Officer Han ng!"
A voice like a silver bell ca from afar.
He saw Pu Xiachan holding a bowl of cherries, strolling over from behind a rockery and waving at him.
"Is sothing the matter?" Han ng asked.
"Nothing much, I just didn't want to attend the morning class, so I sneaked out." Pu Xiachan familiarly handed the cherries over. "Want so?"
Han ng shook his head.
"These are cherries, they're very delicious. Your Aurora Domain probably doesn't produce these things. Are you really not going to try one?"
"I've eaten them before. I ca to the South Sea Domain many years ago... I just don't like eating them."
"Oh~ Alright then."
Pu Xiachan didn't insist anymore and popped one into her own mouth. "Bored? I'll take you for a walk nearby?"
Han ng had no objections. Having been imprisoned day after day previously, he was indeed very bored. Moreover, Pu Xiachan was one of the few people in the Pu Family who could earn his trust. After nodding slightly, the two walked outward along the cobblestone path.
"I heard about your matter from the Old Master. You actually passed Judgnt on the Alliance Council... That's truly too fierce, brother! I've wanted to do that for a long ti!"
Han ng: ...
"About Chen Ling's matter, a few of us also testified back then," Pu Xiachan said again.
"I know."
"But they wouldn't listen."
"They don't care what they hear from others... They only believe in their own pedantic experiences."
"So, after you passed Judgnt on them... what did you see?" Pu Xiachan finally couldn't hold back anymore. She looked at Han ng with shining eyes and asked her most curious question. "Are they guilty?? Are they? Are they??"
After Pu Xiachan heard from the Head of the Family that Han ng had passed Judgnt on the Councilors, she was shocked and yelled about it. She admired Han ng, but she was even more curious about what kind of people these higher-ups who influenced the internal affairs of the Five Great Realms really were... After all, the decisions of their Council affected everyone's fate.
"Soone told that the results of the Judgnt cannot be told to anyone else," Han ng said indifferently. "Otherwise, I should forget about regaining my freedom for the rest of my life."
"That's indeed a bit harsh... Then I won't ask."
"But what I fear the least are threats."
Pu Xiachan was stunned for a mont, then laughed heartily while holding the cherries. "Officer Han ng, you're too interesting! Tell , I promise I won't tell anyone."
"Among them, there are indeed so who are completely innocent... but not many." Han ng spoke unhurriedly, "Corruption, abusing power; these are the charges most of them have..."
"And what about a small portion of them?" Pu Xiachan keenly sensed sothing.
"Another portion... Hehe."
Han ng sneered, saying nothing, but seemingly saying everything.
Pu Xiachan quickly understood Han ng's aning and tactfully didn't press further, but she imdiately changed the subject:
"With such people in the Alliance Council, the Lord of the South Sea must know, right?"
After Han ng passed Judgnt on the Alliance Council, it caused a stir. It was hard to say for the other higher-ups, but as the current controller of the Five Great Realms, the Lord of the South Sea definitely knew the results of Han ng's Judgnt... After all, looking at Han ng's Fearless appearance, he clearly had no intention of hiding the results of the Judgnt.
"Yes."
"Then those people..."
"Nothing happened." Han ng replied calmly, "Half a year has passed, and the Alliance Council is still the sa Alliance Council. Those people are still in their positions... The Lord of the South Sea protected them."
"Ah?" Pu Xiachan frowned, seeming unable to understand. "I thought he would..."
"Don't harbor fantasies about the Lord of the South Sea, even if he is one of the Nine Monarchs."
Han ng's expression suddenly turned serious.
He fell silent for a mont before finally adding:
"That voting result from the Alliance Council framing Chen Ling... was personally stamped by the Lord of the South Sea."
Pu Xiachan froze in place.
Just as the two strolled to the lakeside, a figure hurriedly ran towards them!
"Oh my, Miss, Mr. Han, why are you two still here!"
"What's wrong, Xiao Zi?"
"Two Councilors ca, saying they want to see the imprisoned Mr. Han... I see they ca with ill intentions."
Pu Xiachan seed to realize sothing, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Where are they now?"
"They are already heading towards Mr. Han's room. If they find out that Mr. Han isn't imprisoned at all... I'm afraid..."
"We are going back now."
Pu Xiachan spoke without hesitation. She turned to look at Han ng. "Officer Han ng, I'll go with you. If they ask, just say I forced you to co out!"
Han ng coldly looked towards the direction of his room, not answering.
...
"Cousin, it's been a tiring journey. I brought you so refreshing osmanthus wine, quench your thirst first."
Inside the spacious sedan car, Pu Shu sat next to Chen Ling and took out a bottle of iced beverage.
Chen Ling nodded slightly and took it, but didn't open it. While seemingly gazing at the scenery outside the window, he was actually continuously sorting through two sets of mories in his mind...
The mories exchanged through [Yesterday's Revolver] would also exchange the social network. So the first ti Chen Ling saw Pu Shu, he felt he looked very familiar and substituted Pu Shu into the role of Zhao Yi... Fortunately, Chen Ling hadn't exchanged many mories. Compared to that mory of Zhao Yi from the Integration Faction, he knew there was a conflict. So he began flipping through the plays in his mind, and combined with Pu Jianyue's mories, re-sorted the character relationships.
Eventually, he confird this person's identity.
Stars Chamber of Comrce, Pu Shu.
Pu Shu used to be an outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Pu Family. However, because his father made a mistake, the entire branch was expelled from the South Sea. He took so younger mbers and eventually went to the Aurora Domain, relying on the Yan Family to gain a firm foothold. After the fall of the Aurora Domain, he returned to the Pu Family.
The good news was that after so many years, the Pu Family had also undergone great changes. The current Head felt that the mistakes of the older generation shouldn't be entirely borne by the younger generation, and suffering out there for five years was about enough. Moreover, Pu Jianyue's father's status was getting higher and higher, and Pu Shu held leverage over him, so after a series of maneuvers, he returned to the Pu Family.
Pu Shu and Pu Jianyue used to ss around together when they were young, and had done their fair share of bastardly things in private. It could be said they shared the sa foul tastes and were birds of a feather.
After sorting this out, a "brotherly" smile surfaced at the corners of Chen Ling's mouth.
He reached out and patted Pu Shu's shoulder, saying with relief:
"It's still Ah Shu who knows how to dote on his big brother..."
