Chapter One Thousand and Four: Iron Fist, Iron Evidence
Chu Zihang watched as the door hidden in the wall of the ecological warehouse was opened. A gentle and quiet man came walking on the trimmed withered yellow spiky grass, and stopped less than five meters away from Chu Zihang.
Standing at a certain distance maintains the most comfortable social area for strangers who are wary of each other.
Without the barrier of glass, Chu Zihang felt that the man in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity. The pale white natural lights were cast in every corner of the ecological warehouse, reflecting a pale golden halo on the withered grass.
, in this warm-toned visual perception, what attracted him most to this man was the golden hair that was almost the same color as the background.
"Hello, I'm Patsy, the secretary of the special investigation team sent by the school board, here to investigate you." He said gently.
Chu Zihang did not answer, because his attention was attracted by the characteristics of the other person. He carefully observed the man from head to toe. When his eyes stayed on the other person's sea-blue left eye, at this moment he
Now I know where the familiarity in the other person comes from.
He saw the shadow of Caesar in this man.
He had this feeling from the beginning. The person standing behind the glass was actually Caesar Gattuso, but at the first moment Chu Zihang subconsciously rejected this feeling. In the bottom of his heart, he thought that it would be a novice
If a stranger you know him thinks he is Caesar, this is disrespectful to Caesar.
Caesar Gattuso is just Caesar Gattuso, he doesn’t look like anyone, and there is no one like him. It’s like someone once analyzed whether Caesar hated the president of the Lionheart Society or whether he hated the Lionheart Club.
This is the kind of person who will be president of the Association to avoid Caesar’s social dislike circle. After learning about this incident, Caesar commented on it and said:
"I hate Chu Zihang. Although he and I can cooperate, and we often have the same views on some things, so it can even be said that I admire Chu Zihang, but this has nothing to do with the fact that I hate him.
There is no conflict. So there are many people I hate, but there is only one Chu Zihang I hate. There will be no one like him, and my mortal enemy will not be so cheap."
After Caesar's speech, the voices of the groups who admired Caesar on the forum to slander Chu Zihang gradually became weaker, and finally disappeared completely, because when they slandered Chu Zihang, they changed their direction to ridicule Chu Zihang's mortal enemy.
Caesar Gattuso is not qualified, which is a thankless thing. In this way, the struggle between the Lionheart Club and the Student Union has completely cut off the meaningless poison bag of the public opinion war, and shifted the fight to other more important issues.
The meaningful part is a tit-for-tat showdown between strength and intelligence.
Caesar was a very proud man, just like the original owner of the ecological warehouse where Chu Zihang was staying, an African lion mixed with dragon blood. Even among the lion kings, his physique and tusks were far superior to those of the rest of the same race.
times, possessing the leadership qualities to lead the entire prairie lion group.
But in front of Chu Zihang, this man named Passi has a gentle and gentle temperament. He is absolutely different from Caesar, but strangely, he can make Chu Zihang, who can be said to know Caesar best in the world.
One of the few people who caused him to have unwanted visions.
"Are you from the Gattuso family?" Chu Zihang asked, looking into the ice blue eyes.
Patsy did not answer the question, but just shook his head and said, "This is not among the topics of our conversation this time. Please forgive me for not being able to answer your question."
When Chu Zihang asked this question, he already had some suspicions in his mind. The Gattuso family is one of the directors of Kassel College, and the name Frost Gattuso is a very active member of the school board.
This investigation team was probably set up by the other party. It was not surprising that the secretary of the investigation team was from the Gattuso family. What was strange about Chu Zihang was that he vaguely felt that the other party had some kind of relationship with Caesar.
But it was obvious that this young man named Passi refused to answer Chu Zihang's questions. The purpose of his coming this time was to investigate Chu Zihang and his group, not to answer Chu Zihang's questions, nor to visit the prison to make things happen, so
He went straight to the point and asked politely, "Is Chu Zihang... a classmate? I have a few questions that I need your cooperation to answer."
"Can I choose not to cooperate?" Chu Zihang asked.
Percy paused slightly.
The president of the Lionheart Club has always been aggressive at the negotiation table, so the Lionheart Club has decided not to let its president participate in negotiations. At most, he can only sit on the table and use it as a paperweight in front of signatures and pledges.
.
"You can choose not to cooperate, but your attitude towards the investigation team will eventually be reported to the school board. Depending on the seriousness of the case, you may be given a demerit at the lightest level or forced expulsion from school at the most severe level," Percy said.
There was no threat or arrogance in his tone. He was just informing Chu Zihang in detail about the consequences that the other party would inevitably bear. He said that he was a secretary, and he was really a perfect secretary, only serving as a transit point for his boss.
The boss exercises power on his behalf, and the power flows through his fingers without lingering for a moment. He is truly a perfect tool.
"I will answer your question according to the situation." Although Chu Zihang has always given people the impression of being a tough guy, there are times when he is an outstanding hero who is quite aware of current affairs.
The most important thing is that he is not worried that the school board will really expel him for not cooperating with the investigation. He is really concerned about Patsy's previous remarks outside the glass wall.
Patsy asked him what he thought of the two battles in Chicago Harbor... Two battles? Had there been two battles that night without his knowledge.
In Chu Zihang's memory, the most accurate battle he knew about was probably the conflict between the captain of the UII team and Lin Nian.
In the Chicago incident, Lin Nian came back with the man named Cheng Shuangfan at the last moment. On the Anthe, although we don’t know how it went, one party did fall. This can be regarded as a battle... Then the other one
Woolen cloth?
Within a few seconds, Chu Zihang asked and answered himself and came to the conclusion: there was another battle related to the escaped fourth generation species, which was the dragon named Shao Nanyin.
This was the only answer he could think of, so smoothly, he also deduced a further answer, the other party in the battle with the fourth-generation dragon.
If Chu Zihang remembers correctly, the first person who discovered that Shao Nanyin and Shao Nanqin had exchanged identities that day was Su Xiaoqiang. Su Xiaoqiang immediately asked him, Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei to follow the large and small numbers in Chicago through the radio.
Looking for a target in every port, he himself missed one port, and Xia Mi also failed.
Only Lu Mingfei didn't give back any information after returning to the 'Anthe. He looked exhausted, and his clothes were temporarily changed into a white shirt from a waiter on the ship and something that didn't fit well.
trousers.
The final conclusion naturally appeared in Chu Zihang's mind. He raised his head, and Patsy's Persian cat-like heterochromatic pupils were also staring at him. The two pupils were originally extremely beautiful when alone, but when combined together
But it seems so alien and makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Chu Zihang, what do you think of your companion Lu Mingfei?" Patsy asked.
"Classmates who make progress together on weekdays, comrades who can be trusted to support me on the battlefield." Chu Zihang replied.
It was a very formulaic answer. Chu Zihang's expression was so dull, but there was no doubt that he was also talking psychologically. Lin Nian trusted Lu Mingfei, so he also trusted Lu Mingfei. During the battle of Constantine and Norton, Lu Mingfei's
The outstanding performance also proves that this bad guy who usually seems extremely unreliable is worthy of your gamble on him at critical moments.
But Patsy was not satisfied with this answer. He shook his head and said, "You know that's not what I'm referring to. What I want to know is what you think of Lu Mingfei's bloodline."
"As for Lu Mingfei's pedigree, I think it doesn't matter what I think.'s, level rating is determined by Norma, the secretary of the college, and then reviewed and approved by the college management, so there are many opinions about Lu Mingfei's pedigree.
Everyone has witnessed it, and his performance is remarkable, so I don’t think I need to comment on this aspect." Chu Zihang said slowly.
In fact, Chu Zihang is not bad at words, he just thinks that those bloated words are unnecessary many times. Rather than offering the enemy a glass of wine to persuade him to surrender, he would rather draw a knife to kill someone and then pour the wine back on the enemy's corpse.
, and threw a lighter before leaving. But if he feels the need to use words to solve the situation, his advantage of rigorous logic can tear apart all the conspiracies in words, kick the ball back intact, and let the other party make all their efforts.
All in vain.
"Then let's talk further." Patsy nodded, and he probably understood the way to talk to Chu Zihang, so next he seemed to
Just like Chu Zihang, he gets straight to the point and sees blood with every blow.
"Do you think Lu Mingfei may have a dangerous bloodline? Even for just a moment, have you ever experienced the risk of uncontrollable and unstable loss of control brought about by this person's grade-level advantage?
"
"I never thought so." Chu Zihang frowned slightly.
"Do you think you really understand Lu Mingfei?"
"I don't think I know Lu Mingfei, so I can't answer your questions."
Percy nodded. Chu Zihang's answers were not uncooperative, but all his words tended to be useless and perfunctory. But the key was that he couldn't find fault with the other party yet.
"Then do you think your classmate Lin Nian knows Lu Mingfei?" Patsy asked a strange question.
Chu Zihang didn't know how to answer this question for a while, because it was a bit nonsensical. Lin Nian didn't understand Lu Mingfei, shouldn't he ask Lin Nian? Why did he ask him?
Unless this question is just a lead-in to Patsy's truly fatal question.
"The school board believes that both Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei have experienced multiple uncontrollable dragon transformation phenomena." Passi said, "This kind of dragon transformation phenomenon has obviously exceeded the control of the Lion Heart Club and is called 'violent violence'.
Blood, the range that can be explained by the bloodline refining technology, has reached the standard of dangerous bloodline in the eyes of the school board. Due to the close connection between Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian, the school board suspected that there was a Lin Nian in Kassel College.
, an illegal party formed with the taboo dragon blood refining technology as its core. Now you have been included in the list of key suspects. The school board hopes that you can prove your innocence before the hearing and provide all relevant evidence.
And be present as a witness on the day of the hearing.”
Chu Zihang raised his head and looked directly at Bai Xi. After a long silence, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about. If this is about accountability, I can only admit that 'Bloodshot' is indeed from the Lion Heart Society."
As the president of the Lionheart Club, I will declare responsibility for this matter due to lax technical control. However, I have no knowledge of the rest of the things you mentioned. I cannot serve as a whistleblower and cannot prove my innocence because there is no way to talk about it.
, let alone appear as a witness at the hearing.”
"Before I came, the official investigator of the investigation team had already expected that you would give this reply, so he prepared something and hoped that I would give it to you." Paxi Jing was not surprised by Chu Zihang's reaction now. For this reason, he
As if he was prepared, he took out a silver-white PAD and walked up to Chu Zihang and handed it to him.
Chu Zihang paused for a moment, took the PAD, and after lighting it up, he found that there was a video pause interface inside. Just seeing the video standby screen made him unable to look away.
"It doesn't matter if you don't attend the hearing. We just want to tell you the truth. We don't want you to be on the wrong team without knowing anything. Smart people like you should know that sometimes it is right to retreat bravely.
How to do it." Patsy clicked play for him.
Chu Zihang watched the silent film on his PAD without saying a word. This video did not require sound. The images of those clips were enough to shock the mind, making the blood freeze and the heart beat like thunder.
At this time, he also understood that Patsy came to him today, not as he expected to investigate him according to the process and trick him.
Patsy's trip is sending a very dangerous signal. I am afraid that the school board already has enough ironclad evidence to make it easy for them to impeach Angers and determine Lin Nian's dangerous bloodline.
Confidence.
No matter how many years it has spent in peaceful times, the school board has never changed. Those guys who have always believed in power and iron fist have always been like this.
Once they declare war on you, it means that their aircraft carrier group has arrived at the seaside with firepower covering your door. The entire array of Tomahawk missiles have already locked onto you through guidance and can raze your place to the ground at any time.
They are sitting calmly in front of you now, not really negotiating with you, but watching you struggling and thinking about how to send fewer missiles and save some military expenses on the premise of a complete victory.
Just like the current situation, they actually no longer need to rely on "digging" evidence from Chu Zihang and others. They skipped the negotiations and simply came to persuade Chu Zihang to surrender, intending to use Chu Zihang, Lin Nian's ally, as
In order to target Lin Nian's other ignition fuse, use more and heavier chips to win this war without any suspense completely and simply.
"This video is just one of the preparations of the school board, and this video will be presented as an exhibit on the day of the hearing." Passi put away the PAD and nodded politely to Chu Zihang, "I will be there
Let’s do it again the day before the hearing. I hope our conversation will be better than today.”
Chu Zihang watched in silence as Paxi turned around and left the room. Su Xiaoqiang should be where he went next? Will his words change when facing Su Xiaoqiang?
But I also knew that Su Xiaoqiang's reaction should be the same as his own - he would not react to anything before the hearing, even if it was ironclad evidence.
But even so, Chu Zihang couldn't help but ask himself... The evidence in the hands of the school board must be more than that video. It can be put in front of him as a tool to persuade him to surrender in advance. This means that the school board will hold this hearing.
They will be extremely confident...so how should they respond?
To be precise, how should Lin Nian, the only one who has not yet been brought under the control of the investigation team, deal with this desperate situation?
