“He’s already been cremated. Jing Fei has changed the doctors’ memories and made everyone think that the person who fell sick was actually Fu Chun. Fu Yuanxiu has already recovered and stopped coughing. It’s just that his complexion hasn’t been too good recently. It’s caused by excessive blood loss. He’ll definitely be fine once he recuperates.”

“That’s good.”

In the special department’s detention center, in the reception room, Qian Zheng was talking to Qian Xin, who was being watched. Qian Zheng pursed her lips and said, “Brother, what’s hateful is that Fang Yi did not receive the punishment she deserved.”

Qian Xin’s eyes darkened. “What she did was indeed not illegal. Although it rankles, you can’t say that she did anything wrong. There’s nothing you can do about it.”

Qian Zheng felt that it was unfair. “But she clearly did so many bad things, yet she could escape. You contributed so much to the special department, but in the end, you still have to be detained for a small mistake.”

Qian Xin could not help but look disappointed. “Don’t say that.”

Qian Zheng asked, “Brother, will you really be sentenced to life imprisonment?”

Qian Xin lowered his eyes and held her hand. “Don’t worry, I believe in Boss.”

When he joined Boss, it was equivalent to him giving his life to Boss. He did not believe that Boss would make him suffer.

…

At this moment, in the special department’s regulatory meeting room, there was an intense debate.

Espers who committed crimes were handed over to other espers to be punished. However, in order to prevent them from covering up for each other, a supervision department was set up.

The members of this regulatory team were three middle-aged men. They were all ordinary people. Previously, they were retired policemen and retired soldiers who had great authority in the other departments.

However, these three people were equally rigid and had even harsher requirements for espers.

At this moment, one of them, Fang Ming, was speaking righteously. “He openly took away a serial murderer from the prison. Qian Xin has simply committed a heinous crime! That beast has already killed more than a dozen people! It was not easy for you to capture such a person. If you let him go just like that, it’s equivalent to letting a tiger back into the mountains! You must punish him severely!”

Jing Fei said weakly, “Uncle Fang, you can’t say that. Qian Xin did do something wrong, but his motive was also to save people. How much has he done for the department over the years? We can’t deny him due credit because of this!”

Fang Ming sneered. “Credit is credit, and mistakes are mistakes. Could a murderer who has also done a good deed escape the law? The rules are set so that others can abide by them! This time, if Qian Xin’s matter is not punished severely, won’t there be more people who’d bring people out of prison next time? In the future, won’t everyone who makes a mistake use previous merits to wiggle their way out?”

Jing Fei sighed silently. “It’s indeed his fault for letting the murderer go, but what if he can make amends? The rest of us will cooperate with him!”

Fang Ming said, “Make amends? He’s just a person who only knows how to earn money. How can he capture a criminal? This person is in a high position and is already a P10. Now, in the special department, a thousand espers are watching what happens to him. If we relax our punishment for him, how can we implement the law in the future? He has to be severely punished!”

“He must be severely punished!”

“Punish him severely!”

The other two echoed Fang Ming. After all, Fang Ming was the leader of this team.

Jing Fei panicked. “Uncle Fang, you can’t vent your anger on Qian Xin just because Fang Yi was beaten up. I know that Fang Yi is your niece, but…”

Fang Ming immediately waved his hand. “Don’t spout nonsense. I’ve been in the special department for so many years. Have I ever criticized anyone in the special department? We’re just ordinary people. You guys have contributed to protecting China. We definitely admire you from the bottom of our hearts, but rules are rules. They can’t be broken! This has nothing to do with Fang Yi! If Fang Yi breaks the rules of the special department, I’ll definitely follow the rules!”

Jing Fei: “…”

He was actually completely gagged.

Jing Fei could not speak. Fang Ming looked at Zheng Zhi. “Zheng Zhi, what do you think we should do about this?”

Zheng Zhi was famous for being Zheng Zhi.

He did everything according to the rules. He would hate anyone who did not abide by the rules.

However, at this moment—

Zheng Zhi clenched his jaw and was speechless.

Qian Xin was his good friend. According to the rules, he should be imprisoned for life, but outside the rules, they had a friendship.

Qian Xin had let the murderer go by mistake and not on purpose.

Zheng Zhi was speechless.

Fang Ming did not expect him to say anything. Instead, he looked at Xiang Huai, who had been standing beside him, and started putting on a tall hat. “General Xiang! You have always been in charge of the special department and have always been involved in military affairs. I believe that you will definitely not be biased toward him just because Qian Xin is your subordinate! Let me ask you something. What would you do if this were the army?”

In the army, if one did not obey the orders of their superiors, they could be expelled!

Fang Ming sneered. “The three of us are retired people. All of us got injured and retired afterward. Fang Yi treated our injuries later, but we also know that you have always been the fairest and most just! I think your father definitely doesn’t want to hear that his son is shielding his subordinates! Of course, you won’t do that. General Xiang, the three of us are only from the regulatory department. The final decision will still be yours. Of course, we don’t have the final say.”

Although this was said, everyone knew what the regulatory team of ordinary people placed in the special department signified.

Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow.

…

…

Xue Xi waited outside the visitation room. After a while, Qian Zheng walked out. Her eyes were red and her face was filled with worry.

Xue Xi asked, “How is it?”

Qian Zheng sighed. “Brother said that there’s no need to worry. He believes in his boss, but will it really be fine, Sister Xi?”

Xue Xi said, “Omnipotent Boss has always been good. I think he will protect your brother.”

Qian Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.

However, just as she heaved a sigh of relief, she saw Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi walking over from the regulatory team with serious expressions. When he saw the two of them, Zheng Zhi stopped in his tracks.

Jing Fei hesitated.

Qian Zheng asked nervously, “Brother Fei, has my brother been punished?”

Jing Fei said, “The verdict is out.”

Qian Zheng’s eyes lit up. “Are you guys here to release my brother?”

…

In the hospital.

Fang Yi lay on the hospital bed. After a week of recovery, she was slowly getting better.

On the other side was her good friend and sidekick in the special department. That person was worried. “Look at you. If Qian Xin asks, you could have just helped. You even caused such huge trouble. Qian Xin is famous for his bad temper. He’s from the northeast. When he comes out, I think you shouldn’t be discharged yet!”

Qian Xin was the God of Fortune of the special department and had always been in charge of money matters. He was usually smiling and always said that harmony made money, but everyone knew that Qian Xin had a typical northeastern temper.

He had always been a person who would resort to violence!

When Fang Yi heard this, she lowered her eyes and sneered. “They’ll have to let him out first.”

She smiled. “He made such a huge mistake. With the regulatory department around, how can he be let out?”

Bang!
