Peng Yaohua choked out a dry laugh. “Lieutenant… Lieutenant General Chi, look at me…”
“Chi Yang, Peng Yaohua is an important military officer in the military base. Are you planning to kill him in front of so many people?” Qu Mingyi hissed through gritted teeth. His gun was pressed against the back of Peng Yaohua’s head, scaring Deputy Commander-in-chief Peng so much that he was letting out fearful yells.
“Peng Yaohua imported medicine that contained a large amount of poison from Sab and presented it to Commander-in-chief as a gift in an attempt to murder the Commander-in-chief. I’ve already reported his crime to the higher-ups. So, today, he’ll be put under investigation in Emperor District. If you kill him, it’ll just be the death of another criminal. It won’t be a big deal.”
Peng Yaohua, who nearly had his blood completely drained out of fear, blushed nearly immediately as he explained himself hastily.
“That’s not it, Lieutenant General Chi. Commander-in-chief, I swear I didn’t mean to do that! Are you sure it isn’t a mistake? I really gave Commander Leng the medicine out of goodwill! I didn’t know there was something wrong with that medicine!”
Chi Yang did not bother to reply to Peng Yaohua. He retrieved a mini radio player and pressed a button. The conversation Peng Yaohua had with someone else reached everyone’s ears.
“Why do I feel like Leng Jinpeng is getting better by the day? Plus, the hospital said that his blood test results are improving. Didn’t you say that the medicine can only suppress pain and it’s very poisonous? Are you telling me that poison can help improve his conditions? Don’t be ridiculous, brother!”
To save time, Chi Yang only played one sentence for Peng Yaohua to hear.
Peng Yaohua’s initially flushed face lost all color. Now, his face was even paler than before.
“Commander Leng didn’t take the medicine you gave him. Instead, it was sent for a medical examination. The results showed that it was indeed poison with strong adverse effects. Therefore, leave your explanation to the people at Emperor District. Your matters aren’t under my jurisdiction.”
With that, Chi Yang ignored Peng Yaohua, who was instantly dispirited. He turned to look at Qu Mingyi, who was behind Peng Yaohua, instead. “Qu Mingyi, Qu Wei has been arrested. If you dare hurt anyone here, Qu Wei will receive a greater senten…”
Before Chi Yang could finish speaking, Qu Mingyi suddenly pushed Peng Yaohua away and fired a shot at Chi Yang.
As long as Chi Yang died, the organization would spare Qu Wei.
This way, at least he would have the chance to spend the rest of his life in prison.
However, Chi Yang easily evaded the shot. Meanwhile, Qu Mingyi finally presented an opening that Leng Jinpeng took advantage of by shooting. The bullet hit Qu Mingyi’s arm.
Since the hand that he used to hold the gun was injured, he could no longer hold Peng Yaohua hostage. Consequently, Peng Yaohua spun around and took out his gun, aiming at Qu Mingyi, so that he would not get held hostage by Qu Mingyi again. After all, Qu Mingyi was a top soldier when he was young!
Bang!
The explosive sound of a shot resonated in the hall. Yet, the bullet was aimed at Peng Yaohua, who was about to kill Qu Mingyi.
The person who fired the shot was Chi Yang.
Peng Yaohua looked at Chi Yang angrily. Before he could say anything, Chi Yang said, “Qu Mingyi is an important criminal. Deputy Commander-in-chief Peng, do you wish to add on to your crimes?”
Peng Yaohua surrendered himself immediately after hearing that.
“Arrest all of them!”
Following Chi Yang’s command, two pairs of handcuffs were placed on Qu Mingyi and Peng Yaohua’s hands respectively.
In the military base, there was one Commander-in-chief, one political commissar, and three Deputy Commander-in-chief. Eventually, everyone was arrested except the Commander-in-chief, while another died at the scene.
The cancerous tumor that had been lurking in Jiang District’s military base was finally eliminated.
Qu Mingyi was initially unwilling to say anything…
