209: Chapter 119 Space-Related Superpower?_2 209: Chapter 119 Space-Related Superpower?_2 Ren Cangsong swiped through the photos, showing him the concrete rubble and corridor within the room.
“…The vault was robbed, and the corridor leads directly to your room,” he said, staring intently at Li Ming.
Li Ming looked down at them, his eyebrows knitted together, indeed it was because of these traces.
The signs of his visit to the vault could not be completely erased; the fact that it had dragged on until now was already surprising.
“I’m sure I’ve never been there,” Li Ming shook his head, appearing too panicked would seem fake, and he explained in a grave tone, “I was in that room for no more than ten hours, does the General really think I could do so much?”
“…As for the room’s temperature, any thod could replicate that, using this to convict seems a bit too much.”
By the end, his tone was already quite impolite.
Ren Cangsong didn’t get angry either, it was right to be dissatisfied, anyone who beca a suspect wouldn’t be happy.
His main purpose for coming wasn’t to investigate this matter, but to give Li Ming a reason, this guy had a potential at the sixteenth level, and even he felt alard by it, Li Ming would surely be unstoppable in the future.
He also didn’t want this youngster to think he was targeting him.
“I understand, don’t worry, if it really wasn’t you, we certainly won’t wrong you,” Ren Cangsong assured him, before having soone bring over a large, sophisticated-looking device.
“So, we need to take a little blood to verify.”
The staff ca forward, holding a test tube.
Blood-taking again?
Li Ming secretly adjusted the Controlled Objects, maintaining his developnt speed still boosted at eight tis.
He then squeezed out a drop of blood into the test tube.
As the testing machine operated, everyone present seed to beco more solemn.
Ti passed by the second, with half an hour passing without a result.
No one spoke during this ti, their thoughts were on the outco, not until the machine stopped, and a staff mber tinkered with it before turning around.
Facing the attention, he shook his head, “All normal, he’s not a Superpower User.”
Li Ming was taken aback, then it dawned on him, they suspected him of being a Superpower User.
Xia Yuanlun let out a long sigh of relief, and then snorted coldly.
The serious expression on Ren Cangsong’s face also relaxed; now that it was determined that Li Ming was not a Superpower User, there was no need to be overly concerned about the materials issue.
Otherwise, if he were to request a search of this laboratory again, who knows how much chaos would ensue.
“This is a new line of investigation.
If among those present, there is anyone with a Space Superpower, then it might be possible to carry out this unbelievable assassination and theft,” Ren Cangsong explained.
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, they had reached the point of suspecting him to be a Space-related Superpower User, they really couldn’t find anything.
Just then, soone hurried over and whispered a few words in Ren Cangsong’s ear.
Although the voice was very low, every gene evolver present could hear clearly.
“Central Intelligence Director Qi Zhan, with a large group of officials, has arrived.”
Ren Cangsong’s face slightly changed, he felt a headache and couldn’t help but look at Li Ming, “You little rascal.”
Li Ming spread his hands helplessly, “When we left, we agreed on that, I can’t do anything about it.”
No sooner had he spoken than a group of people arrived in a hurry, with Qi Zhan in the lead, his expression stern, followed by Qi Xing and most of the officials who had been present at the event.
“General Ren, when we left, didn’t we agree?
Once out that door, we are no longer allowed to use the matter of Fu Zongchen to investigate any of us,” Qi Zhan said bluntly, without beating around the bush.
His peripheral vision glanced at the device in the room; he recognized it and probably had an idea.
“The investigation team has new evidence…” Ren Cangsong frowned, but before he could finish, he was interrupted unceremoniously by soone beside Qi Zhan:
“Fine, since this matter has not been cleared up yet, then we might as well put a halt to our current affairs.”
“The City Guard’s prison, the Intelligence Bureau’s office, or which departnt’s secret bunker?
Just pick a place, General, and we’ll go there ourselves.”
If there’s new evidence to investigate soone today, and new evidence to investigate another person tomorrow, when will this investigation end?
“Are you questioning ?” Ren Cangsong said coldly.
“Is the General muddled to continue investigating?
Doesn’t he know how much chaos it would cause?” soone said in a stern voice.
Ren Cangsong took a deep breath; this was why he loathed politics.
He suddenly stood up, instantly quieting the room, and then declared, “I promise, this is the last ti.”
“The General had already guaranteed it once,” Qi Zhan faced him, showing no fear.
Li Ming couldn’t help feeling startled; Qi Zhan was really bold.
If it had been him in Ren Cangsong’s shoes, he would’ve slapped him by now.
However, Ren Cangsong wasn’t alone in the world, with a large family and business, and even several grandsons.
“What do you intend to do?” Ren Cangsong’s forehead veins throbbed.
“Dissolve the investigation team,” Qi Zhan spoke a few words.
He had long known about the existence of the investigation team but was unable to intervene; Li Ming’s situation was an opportunity, and he had to suppress this matter at all costs.
Ren Cangsong’s eyelid twitched, truly angered, “Qi Zhan, so eager to dissolve the investigation team, could it be you’re the mastermind behind the assassination of Fu Zongchen?”
“Evidence,” Qi Zhan said succinctly.
Seeing that Ren Cangsong was about to explode, Li Ming shifted to the side, afraid of being splashed by blood, and he secretly gave Qi Xing a thumbs-up—your father is impressive.
“The deaths of Fu Zongchen and Youke will be investigated together as of today,” Chen Jinglong suddenly said.
Everyone present was quick-witted and imdiately understood the implications of these words—they were going to pin it on Torch.
Qi Zhan’s brows moved slightly; through this issue, he could turn a temporary political alliance into an actual small group, but he couldn’t really dissolve the investigation team.
He imdiately took the opportunity to back down, “Since it’s been determined to be Torch’s doing, that’s for the best.”
The death of Fu Zongchen, along with the theft of the cha and the vault, was about to beco an unsolved case.
Li Ming realized in his heart that the previous explanation was for the public, not the true thoughts of the upper echelons.
Only now had the higher-ups truly admitted defeat and swallowed the bitter pill.
Ren Cangsong left with a livid face.
Qi Xing and Li Ming exchanged greetings; Li Ming had just inford Qi Xing, so he could tell his father, which led to this scene.
Chen Jinglong did not leave.
After sending away Xia Yuanlun and the others, he asked Li Ming to walk with him.
“The suspicion that you are a Superpower User cos from Saiyinti,” Chen Jinglong said at a leisurely pace, “I took advantage of the situation to suppress the matter.”
Upon hearing this, Li Ming couldn’t help but ask, “President, what if, just hypothetically, they actually detect a superpower in ?
What then?”
“Nothing,” Chen Jinglong chuckled lightly, “Who would offend , Wu Yanqing, Xia Yuanlun, soone with potential at level sixteen, over a dead man?”
“Prince Bai Jiang has Princess Asmara to shoulder it.”
“However, a gene evolver possessing a superpower, you should know, is far more troubleso than the death of Fu Zongchen,” Chen Jinglong added, “Fortunately, you don’t have one.”
Li Ming fell silent.
The death of Fu Zongchen was both significant and insignificant.
It didn’t even cause as much of a ripple as what Chen Jinglong ntioned afterwards.
“I want to suppress this matter too, to prevent it from causing too much commotion,” Chen Jinglong brought up another topic, “Torch is making big moves.”
“Oh?” Li Ming looked up.
“While investigating Bian Heng’s death, I coincidentally found so Torch seeds.
I dug further and found that starting two months ago, Torch mbers have been smuggling themselves into Jingnan by various ans.”
“Two months ago?” Li Ming pondered, “When Sela started to gain montum.”
“Yes, Torch has an extraordinary sensitivity to such events.
If there’s an opportunity to intervene, they make preparations early,” Chen Jinglong nodded, his face showing a trace of worry, “I have a feeling they are planning sothing big, sothing extraordinary.”
“Especially with the recent series of events, by the ti the Yitelan investigators and mbers of the Sela royal family arrive, Jingnan will beco the most conspicuous place in the Silver Star Cluster in the recent years.”
After a mont of contemplation, Li Ming asked, “President, why are you telling all this…?”
“Torch seeds know only so much; I want to catch so real Torch mbers,” Chen Jinglong’s gaze on Li Ming was profound.
Li Ming had an epiphany, instantly understanding, “You want to use as bait?”
Damn, the president seems kind, but he’s full of tricks.
Torch wouldn’t kill , in their understanding, I’ve already indulged in the pleasures of love; they won’t bite.
Wait a minute… if that’s the case.
Li Ming’s thoughts rapidly flowed in his mind as if he had so idea, and his face showed a look of difficulty, “President, it’s not that I am unwilling, but the risk is a bit too big.”
“You know, my potential is not low, and if I just lay low, I will beco a big shot sooner or later.”
