"Lu Zui is temporarily locked in the underground fortress of the parliament building of the Federation. "F * ck."
"The Secret Sword Bureau is in a mess right now," Professor Mo Xuan said. "Speaker Jiang proposed that Director Guo Chunfeng, who used to be the first division of the Secret Sword Bureau, take over as the acting director of the Secret Sword Bureau temporarily. A special investigation team has also been established to interrogate Lu Zui and investigate the scheme of the Patriots Partnership."
Li Yao's eyes beamed with joy. He almost exclaimed, "Director Guo is fine?"
Li Yao was very clear that although he and the veterans had exposed Lu Zui's real face in the end, it was not until they made a scene in front of everybody.
But the key to everything was still Guo Chunfeng.
If Guo Chunfeng hadn't taken action in advance and protected Professor Mo Xuan and Ding Ling Dong, they would've been captured by the Patriots Partnership a long time ago.
Later, it was also Guo Chunfeng who reached out to him voluntarily. That was why the two of them had been able to exchange a lot of information and work out a scheme that fooled the old fox Lu Zui!
It was also Guo Chunfeng who told him the basic structure and defense system of the Secret Sword Bureau and guided him to sneak in.
Otherwise, Li Yao was not a god. How could he have broken the defense network of the highest intelligence bureau of the Federation and snuck in without a sound in only a few hours?
Without Guo Chunfeng, it would've been impossible for him to reach out to Professor Mo Xuan and ask the professor to crack the Jade Crystal Disc and retrieve the critical evidence!
At the last moment, Guo Chunfeng even sacrificed himself resolutely and boarded 'Hidden Star' to talk to his boss Lu Zui face to face, buying them half an hour of precious time!
Had it not been for the half hour, they would've never reached the central district where the parliament building of the Federation was located. They would've been intercepted and killed by the Patriots Partnership on their way.
At that time, Li Yao had been harassed by the Five Disintegrations of Heavens and Human. His capability had plummeted, and he would've been no match for the assassins of the Patriots Partnership!
Therefore, although everybody regarded him as a great hero who saved the day, in Li Yao's heart, Guo Chunfeng was the key to the battle.
Guo Chunfeng was the well-deserved greatest contributor!
Li Yao said excitedly, "Where is Division Chief Guo? I want to see him!"
Professor Mo Xuan's crystal cameras blinked. He smiled and said, "As it happens, Director Guo wants to meet you after learning that you are awake. He also asked if you would like to join the investigation team and investigate the Patriots Partnership together. He seems to have run into some trouble and wants to study it with you."
Li Yao nodded heavily. "It's my duty!"
…
Below the Federation's parliament building, there was an underground fortress that was originally built to prevent the outbreak of the Beast Tide.
The entire fortress had consumed more than five million tons of super alloy. There were sentries every three steps, and all the attack and defense rune arrays were of the highest level.
Deep inside the underground fortress, Li Yao and Guo Chunfeng embraced each other passionately.
"Fellow Daoist Guo!"
"Fellow Daoist Li!"
'Fellow Daoist' could be insignificant. Two Cultivators who did not know each other could call each other 'Fellow Daoist' out of politeness when they met for the first time.
But for Li Yao and Guo Chunfeng, 'Fellow Daoist' had a deeper, intense, and unshakable meaning.
Even when there were still misunderstandings between the two of them in the beginning, and Li Yao still regarded Guo Chunfeng as Abyss, he had admired the keenness and brutality of the 'demon hunter'.
Many times, the traps and false identities that Li Yao had set up after all the trouble had been seen through by Guo Chunfeng. Guo Chunfeng had almost caught his tail many times.
This kind of feeling of meeting one's match, tit for tat, was really a bit of a feeling of mutual appreciation.
It was the greatest surprise of the battle that Guo Chunfeng was a friend instead of an enemy.
"Brother … Brother Guo, how did you escape from Lu Zui's clutches?"
Li Yao changed to a more intimate form of address. He observed Guo Chunfeng up and down for a moment, only to discover that, although Guo Chunfeng was still somewhat weak, there was nothing wrong with him. He did not even lose a finger. Li Yao took a long breath in relief, but he was confused.
At that time, Guo Chunfeng had been stalling for time at the cost of his own life.
How could Lu Zui have allowed him to live when he was infuriated?
Guo Chunfeng smiled and said casually, "It's very simple. At that time, as we agreed, I stalled him for half an hour. As expected, Lu Zui realized what was going on and burst into fury!
"At that time, I was surrounded by Lu Zui and four muscular men. Their killing intent soared to the maximum. I was about to be killed. At the critical moment …
"How was it?"
Li Yao held his breath, sweat popping up on his forehead.
"I screamed, fell on my knees, and kowtowed hard, begging Lu Zui to be merciful and spare my life," Guo Chunfeng said solemnly.
Li Yao was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
"I knelt on the ground and crawled to Lu Zui like a dog," Guo Chunfeng continued. "I cried aloud while holding Lu Zui's thigh. I told Lu Zui that everything had happened, and the time had been delayed for so long. Killing me wouldn't change anything, would it?"
"Besides, although I was heavily wounded, I was still capable of resisting. Even a rabbit can bite when it is cornered, and a dog can jump ten meters when it is cornered! If they really wanted to kill me, they would have to go through a lot of trouble and waste a few minutes of your time. It would not be good, would it? "
"Brother Guo, you — you're kidding, right?" Li Yao stammered.
"I'm not kidding. That was exactly what happened."
Guo Chunfeng opened his hands and said casually, "I knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Weeping, I touched my heart and said to Lu Zui that I was wrong and that I was willing to turn over a new leaf and join the Patriots Partnership! I still have a lot of secret resources in my hands, which I can contribute to the organization and help Lu Zui accomplish his patriotic plan. As long as I am given another chance and my life is spared, I will do anything. "
Li Yao was dumbfounded. "Lu Zui believed you?"
Guo Chunfeng shook his head. "Of course not. But as I said, director, you claimed that you were not swallowed by hatred and that everything you did was rational and for the future of the Federation. It is also because of that that the beliefs of the 'patriots' such as yourself are extremely firm.
"Then, it would be wrong to kill me.
"Because I knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. It would be meaningless to kill me at such a time. You would only be venting your anger.
"If you killed me, it would prove that the 'patriots' such as Lu Zui could not control their hatred and fury. Then, their beliefs and beliefs would be a pile of garbage. How could they maintain their Cultivation?
"The four Core Formation Stage Cultivators still shoulder the responsibility of intercepting and killing you. If a flaw appears in their belief because they kill me, how can they fight in the future?"
"Just like that, I cried and rolled on the ground. Even Lu Zui was dumbfounded. Then, the news that you had been locked onto came … That was how I survived."
Li Yao was lost for words for a long time.
Guo Chunfeng patted his shoulder. "Are you disappointed, young brother?"
"Not really."
Li Yao tried to adjust his facial muscles. "I'm just a bit surprised. You don't seem to be scared of death, Brother Guo."
"I'm not scared of death."
Guo Chunfeng's eyes pierced through the ground hundreds of meters deep and drifted to somewhere far away. He said casually, "However, I'm scared that I will never see my wife and daughter again. I'm very, very scared.
"Now that I've stalled enough time and fulfilled my responsibility as a Cultivator for my country and my compatriots, shouldn't I fulfill my responsibility for my wife and my daughter, too?"
"Young brother, maybe you will understand when you are my age and have a wife and a daughter.
"As long as it is not against my morals, as long as there is a slim chance that I can reunite with my wife and daughter … Not just kneeling and begging for mercy, I promise that I will lick the bottom of Lu Zui's shoes clean even if you ask me to."
Li Yao was dazed for a long time. Then, he suddenly smiled.
Perhaps, it was not the answer that he had been expecting.
But at the very least, Guo Chunfeng was still alive. He could still go home and meet his wife and daughter. His wife and daughter would not have to attend his funeral or cry in the cold, gloomy nights in the future.
What could be a better ending than this?
"Brother Guo, if there is a chance, I will certainly pay you a visit in your house. I would like to know what the place that you are reluctant to leave is like!"
Li Yao said sincerely.
"Hahahaha. It's just like a regular family."
Guo Chunfeng laughed heartily. "If you are really there, my daughter will be very happy. Vulture Li Yao, the legendary hero of the Special Level Federation! She will be so excited that she won't be able to sleep for three days and three nights! "
"Brother Guo, you and I both know that."
Li Yao was somewhat embarrassed. "You are the greatest contributor in the battle. If we are talking about heroes, you are the one who deserves to be called one!"
"Alright."
Guo Chunfeng stopped talking. "If we keep flattering each other like this, we won't be able to finish it even if we spend three days and three nights together. Let's talk in my home after the whole thing is over. Let's take a look at the pictures of Lu Zui's interrogation first. I feel that something is not right, but I can't tell what is wrong.
"Alright!"
Li Yao came to the analysis center next to the interrogation room. In the place, hundreds of light beams were playing all the pictures of Lu Zui's interrogation since he was captured.
Almost all the interrogations were one-on-one competitions between Guo Chunfeng and Lu Zui. The tiniest muscle reaction of Lu Zui's every word was monitored and analyzed carefully.
On the picture, Guo Chunfeng said calmly, "Director, your scheme has been exposed. You have lost your momentum! If you continue, the interests of the Federation will be consumed, and more unnecessary blood will be shed for nothing! If you are a real patriot as you claim, for the sake of the Federation and the people you want to protect, just confess now! "
Lu Zui was silent for a long time. Then, with a bitter smile, he said, "The winner is the loser.
"Winner takes all. What can we do?"
He began to confess. He spoke slowly, but his words were very clear. The information he pointed at was very precise, too. There was not the slightest ambiguity.
In several hours, he confessed dozens of secret bases of the Patriots Partnership and a complicated, enormous network, especially the few centers of the Demon God Virus in the East Ocean and the rainforests in the south …
Based on the information, the experts of Jin Dan and the Yuanying experts in the capital all took action. They lunged at various places of the Federation aggressively, hoping to annihilate the Patriots Partnership before the enemy realized what was going on.
So far, the nests of the Patriots Partnership in the capital city and the few cities nearby had been discovered. Almost a hundred 'patriots' had been captured. A lot of files and even virus samples had been seized.
Generally speaking, Lu Zui was quite cooperative. There was nothing unusual about him.
