“I’m very sorry that our Deputy Chief did something like that in your place. So, what is your condition?” Wu Chengyue slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Qiao and said. He was a little unhappy about the excessively composed look in her eyes.

Just now, when she looked at his Ling Ling, the look in her eyes had turned so much softer. However, when she turned to him, her eyes became like a dark-green, deep pool of water, showing no emotion at all.

That was not fair! He was trying to be nice to her! Why was she only interested in his daughter?

Wu Chengyue was aware that everybody should stay calm and serious now, and they were talking about something important. But for some reason, he started caring a lot about Lin Qiao ever since he noticed the gentle way she looked at Wu Yueling.

If only she could look at him in the same way.

“Are you gonna accept any condition that I put forward?” Lin Qiao didn’t answer the question directly, but curved one side of her lip corners and threw a question back.

Wu Chengyue nodded and responded, “As long as I’m able to.”

Lin Qiao laughed, “Alright! You seem to care much about that pretty Deputy Chief of your base. I’m surprised that you believe us so firmly. I thought that you’d at least have some doubts, and would want to hear what she’ll say first.”

Once she finished talking, footsteps sounds could be heard from the outside. Among a series of footstep sounds, one sounded feeble and disordered.

Before long, Qiu Lili came in with silken gait. Two soldiers followed behind her, carrying Yan Fangyu. They dragged her to the chair which was prepared for her.

“Chief… Chief! Save me! I didn’t do anything! It’s her! She framed me!” Yan Fangyu fixed her glowing eyes on Wu Chengyue once she came in, then shouted at him eagerly, as if he was a savior.

“Oi, woman, why are you so shameless! You did it and you refuse to admit it! You’ve gotten caught! How dare you still claim that you didn’t do anything! Look at this!” Hearing that Yan Fangyu was actually shameless enough to claim that she was innocent, Qiu Lili, who had just made two steps toward Lin Qiao, stopped angrily.

While speaking, she walked to a cabinet nearby and took out a wooden box from it. Then, she walked back to Yan Fangyu with big steps, then opened the box and showed her what was inside.

In the box was some black ash.

Clap! After showing it to Yan Fangyu, Qiu Lili quickly closed the lid and put the box back into the cabinet.

Everyone in the know understood that the ash was the remains of that poor guard who was murdered by Yan Fangyu with her fire power last night.

Yan Fangyu blinked, then raised her head and said to Qiu Lili, “I don’t know what that is! That’s just some ash! Are you gonna use that as evidence? How ridiculous!”

“Oh, that’s not just some regular ash. That’s the ash of the soldier who was guarding this room last night. You burned him,” Lin Qiao put down her hand which was supporting her head, then turned and looked at Yan Fangyu as she said blandly.

“I never burned any guard! Stop lying! Chief Wu, I really did not do what they said! I’m innocent!” Yan Fangyu first yelled at Lin Qiao, then turned to Wu Chengyue and showed him an innocent look.

“Enough! Deputy Chief Yan, how come I didn’t realize that you were such kind of woman before? You’re scheming, and you deny what you’ve done. No matter what you say, you’ve been here last night, and that’s a fact.” Yuan Tianxing knitted his brows once Yan Fangyu started talking. His daily faint smile was gone. Even though he had been struggling at the moment, he still couldn’t help but speak to her in a harsh tone.

“Yuan Tianxing! I’ve helped you a lot when you first came to Sea City Base! Are you an ungrateful person?” Yan Fangyu immediately yelled at him. Both her shoulders had been suffering pain, but she still talked with a strong vibe.

“If I knew that you were this kind of person, I wouldn’t let you help me. I am saying this to you for your own good because you’ve helped me. Just stop denying. Everybody is watching. Do you think all of us are blind? You’re making yourself look ugly!” Yuan Tianxing sighed and said.

“You! Shut up! I didn’t do it! I didn’t! Why would I admit something that I didn’t do?” Being stimulated by Yuan Tianxing’s words, Yan Fangyu shouted at him. Her pale face suddenly became twisted.

She firmly believed that as long as Wu Chengyue believed that she didn’t do it, he would certainly send out his people to solve the problem and clean up the mess. When she returned to her base, she would also ask Zou Shihui and the others to help deal with this.

As long as she returned to Sea City Base, she would have plenty of ways to cover this up. And after that, she would find other chances to deal with Lin Qiao’s small base, which only had thousands of people.

She had truly misstepped this time. If she had brought more people with her, she would have never gotten caught and ended up like this. Back in Sea City Base, she had thirty-thousand soldiers under her command. She would have so many excuses to destroy everyone in Lin Qiao’s base.

Even now, Yan Fangyu didn’t stop making plans in her heart.

She had no idea that Lin Qiao, who was less than four meters away from her, had sensed every thought of hers.

Lin Qiao wasn’t able to read Wu Chengyue’s mind because the conference table was over five-meters long, and he was at level-seven. She couldn’t sense his thoughts unless he got emotional.

Unlike him, Yan Fangyu was much closer to Lin Qiao, and was at a lower level than her. Therefore, her thoughts had been clearly sensed by the latter.

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes as she looked at the other and abruptly clicked her tongue, “Deputy Chief Yan, you do have some great plans. If that’s only some regular ash that we found, why does it contain the same kind of fire energy as you have? Have you forgotten about that?”

“Wha-what…” Yan Fangyu was stunned upon hearing Lin Qiao’s words. Her face which had paled because of the pain from her shoulders turned even paler.

“Lili, show the box to Chief Wu,” Lin Qiao said to Qiu Lili, who immediately took out the box again and brought it to Wu Chengyue, putting it on the table near him.

Wu Chengyue put his hand on the box to sense the energy inside it, then frowned slightly. Afterward, he took away his hand and looked at Yan Fangyu as he said, “She’s right! Deputy Chief Yan, I did sense your energy from the box. How are you gonna explain that? In fact, my people have investigated this whole thing and confirmed that it’s true. You can stop talking now. Just follow my arrangement.”

With some simple words, Wu Chengyue convicted Yan Fangyu, and didn’t try to help her out at all.

“Chief… Chief Wu!” Yan Fangyu was dumbfounded. She thought that Wu Chengyue wouldn’t believe Lin Qiao and her people, or at least wouldn’t admit it openly. However, he believed them and admitted it! He admitted it! He convicted her!
