“Nonsense, how could Yulong do such a thing! You’ve already said that you’ve never met before, so how could there be a grudge between the two of you? It’s definitely your fault! He’s innocent.
“Now that he’s dead, you can say whatever you want! How detestable!” Liu Yunlai said sternly.
“Whether he’s innocent or not, we’ll know once we investigate!” Tang Hao said coldly.
“Alright! Even if Yulong is in the wrong, does he deserve to die? You even crippled our entire clan. You are our senior, so why must you bully us juniors?” Liu Yunlai reprimanded.
“That’s right!”
The other patriarchs agreed. They were friends with the Liu family, and they could not bear to see the Liu family crippled just like that.
Hearing that, General Bai’s expression became awkward.
‘Senior?
‘These people are too naïve. If they knew the truth, they would definitely pop a vein!’
However, he did not reveal the truth, fearing that it would give them too much of a shock.
“Well… let’s not talk about it anymore. We’ll leave the verdict to the Higher-Ups,” General Bai waved his hand and said.
The incident was quite serious, and he did not have the right to make a decision.
He took out his phone and made a call, reporting the situation to the Higher-Ups.
Many people in the Capital were woken from their sleep.
To people of their rank, the existence of cultivators was not a secret. Similarly, they knew about the existence of the six great cultivator families.
“The entire Liu family has been crippled, and Liu Yulong is dead?”
This news was quite shocking.
Many people groaned when they found out who was behind it.
‘How troublesome!’ That was what everyone thought.
The aggrieved party was the Liu family, who had an extensive human network in the Capital. The other party was a rare talent who had made outstanding contributions to the country.
“This is quite difficult!”
“Indeed… to cripple the entire family, that kid is quite ruthless!”
“I don’t think so. If he were really ruthless, the entire Liu family would have been killed. This kid is still quite rational to leave everyone else alive!”
“That’s true! If it’s that difficult to make a decision, why don’t we do it this way? We’ll first launch a thorough investigation. It’s not too late to make a verdict!”
“That decides it!”
Soon, the order was passed down.
“The Higher-Ups said to investigate first before making a decision. Are you convinced?” General Bai took a phone call, turned around, and announced to everyone.
“Investigate? Wouldn’t your Agency be investigating one of your own?” Liu Yunlai was unconvinced.
“The Higher-Ups will send their people. You don’t have to worry!” General Bai glanced at him and spoke somewhat impolitely.
Then, he said to Tang Hao, “Let’s return to the Agency. The people will be here in a while.”
Tang Hao boarded the helicopter and saw a group of cars arriving on the road outside. Obviously, they were members of the Mu family.
The Mu family residence was the farthest away from here, so they were the last to arrive.
When the Mu family members got off the car and saw the situation, they were all dumbfounded.
Half an hour later, Tang Hao sat in a room in the Agency. Two men in suits sat opposite him. They were the investigators sent by the Higher-Ups.
“Major General Tang, please tell us what happened. We will record all your statements. Don’t worry. We will definitely investigate this without showing favor to anyone,” a man said.
Tang Hao sat there with an indifferent expression.
He was not worried at all. He believed that he was in the right, and he had not endangered the lives of the innocent. The Higher-Ups would not be able to touch him.
Immediately, he told them what happened.
The two men picked up pens from time to time and wrote on their notebooks.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Major General Tang. Our people have already set off for Province Z. Let’s see, it’s only 3:15 in the morning now. We should reach a decision by the afternoon.”
At the end of the investigation, the two men stood up, shook hands with Tang Hao, and left the room.
Tang Hao’s phone was taken away and turned off, and he was confined to the room. He had nothing to do, so he lay down on the couch and fell asleep.
The results of the investigation were out by three o’clock in the afternoon.
Tang Hao’s testimony was corroborated.
After the findings were reported to the Higher-Ups, they delivered their verdict.
General Bai opened the door and brought Tang Hao out. He was very enthusiastic.
“Haha! Everything’s fine now, Comrade Tang Hao. Nothing will happen to you! Let’s go!
“Sigh! The Higher-Ups were quite vexed. They’ve decided to let it slide, considering that you’ve contributed a lot to the country. Remember, before you do anything rash, let me know first.”
Tang Hao nodded and grunted a reply.
“Look, it’s already half-past four. Let’s go and have dinner! What’s the most famous dish in the Capital? Roast duck! Let’s go, I’ll bring you to eat roast duck!
“You don’t have to worry about the Liu family anymore. With someone watching over them, they won’t be causing you any trouble. You shouldn’t go and look for trouble with them either.”
General Bai and Tang Hao went to a roast duck restaurant. At about seven o’clock in the evening, Tang Hao boarded a plane and flew back to Provincial City.
As soon as he landed, he immediately rushed back to Westridge.
It was already past eleven o’clock when he reached home.
The lights in the house were still on.
When he opened the door, he saw a figure leaning on the living room couch.
She woke up when she heard the door open. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Tang Hao groggily.
“You’re back, Lil Tang!”
She yawned, stretched, and stood up.
Tang Hao’s heart warmed up, and he smiled. “Mm! I’m back!”
She rubbed her eyes, walked over barefoot, and hugged Tang Hao tightly for a while.
“Mm! This feeling is the best!” She pressed her face against Tang Hao’s chest and smiled. “Don’t move! Let me hug you properly.”
As she spoke, she tightened her hug.
The atmosphere was quite intimate.
