It was a Friday on December 1st. Lin Huang had classes in the afternoon, but he did not have to attend them anymore.
He was suspended from his class …
Qin Tianxing and a few other teachers were suspended as well. They had been in contact with Hong Zhuang. Even the Vice President, Wang Zijun, who had interviewed Hong Zhuang was suspended.
Hong Zhuang's identity was too sensitive. The Coalition government had found out that not only was she a core member of the Purple Crow in Division7, but she was also one of the candidates for the Crow Spirit.
Lin Huang and Qin Tianxing had been in contact with Hong Zhuang too often. Many teachers and students had seen them eating with Hong Zhuang in the school canteen. Moreover, Hong Zhuang came in as Lin Huang's cousin, which made Lin Huang even more suspicious.
Lin Huang and the rest were closely monitored by the Coalition government's staff. They were questioned by the Coalition government's investigators almost every day. They would be brought to the interrogation room for questioning if there were any clues. Some of the questions would even be repeated.
Early in the morning, Lin Huang heard a familiar knock on the door of his dorm.
Liu Ming had arranged a new dorm for him. After all, only the foundation of his previous dorm was left. It was uninhabitable.
Lin Huang opened the door helplessly. There was a man and a woman standing at the door.
The man was skinny but tall. He was almost 1.9 meters tall and wore a gray trench coat.
The woman next to him was tall as well. She was almost 1.8 meters tall in high heels. With her hair tied into a bun, she did not look much shorter than the man. She wore a beige trench coat. Although the style was different from the man's, they looked like a couple's outfit.
"I'm sorry to disturb you again," the woman greeted with a smile.
"Please come in," Lin Huang nodded and brought them into the living room. He then made two cups of tea for them.
The two of them were the investigators who had been in charge of him for the past few days.
The man remained expressionless. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before putting it down. He raised his head and looked at Lin Huang. "Today is still a routine."
Lin Huang knew that this was the other party's job. There was nothing he could do even if he was angry. He could only nod helplessly.
"Name?"
"Lin Huang."
"Gender?"
"Male."
"Age?"
“16”
…
"When and where did you first meet Hong Zhuang?"
"Last September, in the Fog Canyon."
"Why are we going to the Fog Canyon?"
"To kill the Ugly Marionette and level up to bronze-level."
"Are you saying that it only took you a year to level up from the bronze mirror to the white flame-level?"
"Yes." The Coalition government had already investigated the astonishing speed of his promotion, and Lin Huang had no choice but to admit it. Hiding it would only lead to worse consequences.
"Who was with you at the time?"
"Yin Hangyi, but he has already passed away."
"Who was with Hongzhuang?"
"Xu Qiang was Hong Zhuang's partner at that time."
"Describe Xu Qiang's appearance."
"He's very tall, probably around 2.2 to 2.3 meters. He's very strong and is much bigger than the average person. He had a buzz cut and looked like a ferocious monster. There were no obvious features on his face. If it weren't for his height, his face would've been very ordinary. He was the kind of person who would've been overlooked if he was thrown into a crowd. " Lin Huang described Xu Qiang briefly. He did not have any impression of how Xu Qiang looked like. He only remembered that he was a big man with a buzz cut.
"So, Hong Zhuang and Xu Qiang from the Purple Crow didn't kill you when you first met them?"
"No, Hong Zhuang was interested in my identity as an Imperial Censor and wanted to invite me to join the Purple Crow."
"Did you agree?"
"Xu Qiang gave me two choices. One was to join the Purple Crow, and the other was to die. To save my life, I chose the former. It was impossible for me to escape from the two transcendents, "Lin Huang explained.
"So, you joined the Purple Crow after that?"
"After that, I was brought into the Purple Crow's training camp. I stayed there for almost a month before I escaped."
"How did you escape?"
"I used a treasure that Mr. Fu gave me to fake my death." Lin Huang lied because he knew that the investigators would not be able to verify this with Mr. Fu. Even if someone did ask Mr. Fu about this, he believed that Mr. Fu would help him cover up the lie.
Although some people knew that Mr. Fu took him in as an apprentice after he left the Purple Crow, no one knew when he first met Mr. Fu. It was not the first time that Mr. Fu would give out lavish gifts to juniors that he found pleasing to the eye.
"After you betrayed the Purple Crow, didn't the Purple Crow send people to kill you?"
"Let me correct you. I didn't betray the Purple Crow. I didn't join the Purple Crow at all. To join the Purple Crow, one has to graduate from the training camp and undergo brainwashing. Only then can one be considered a reserve member of the Purple Crow. People in the training camp are only prisoners, "Lin Huang frowned as he corrected her. It was not the first time that he had corrected her. "The Purple Crow sent people to kill me, but I killed them. Mr. Fu found out about this and negotiated with the leader of the Purple Crow. They didn't come after me anymore. "
"Why did Hong Zhuang look for you when she infiltrated the White Capital? Also, why didn't you reveal her identity? Why did you let such a threat lurk in the Martial Arts Academy? "
"I don't know why Hong Zhuang looked for me." Lin Huang paused and sorted out his thoughts. He then continued, "I didn't reveal her identity because I roughly knew her ability. Since Dean Liu isn't here, nobody in the Martial Arts Academy can suppress her. She told me clearly that if I were to expose her, all the students and teachers in the Martial Arts Academy would be in trouble. Looking at the Purple Crow's pattern, I knew that she had an accomplice. Even if the Coalition government were to suppress her, her accomplice would still attack the Martial Arts Academy. She also promised me that the Purple Crow's operation would not harm the Martial Arts Academy. She asked me not to interfere. After weighing the pros and cons, I chose to keep quiet. "
"Why is Qin Tianxing so close to Hong Zhuang?"
"Hong Zhuang pretended to be my cousin when she joined the academy. He thought that she was really my cousin and I'm close to him. That's why he was extra friendly to her." To prevent Qin Tianxing from being involved, Lin Huang did not tell him that Qin Tianxing might be interested in Hong Zhuang.
After a series of uncomfortable questions, the man in the trench coat stood up and looked at Lin Huang with a serious expression after the woman next to him was done with her notes.
"Lin Huang, Hong Zhuang wants to see you."
"What?!" Lin Huang was confused.
"She refused to say anything when she was locked up. There's a layer of special energy protecting her consciousness which prevents anyone from reading it. The people from Building 33 and the intelligence department tried many ways but they could not get any information out of her. For the past few days, the only thing she said was that she wanted to see you! "The man in the coat stared at Lin Huang as if he was trying to figure something out from his face.
"See me? Why? " Lin Huang thought of many possibilities. The biggest possibility was that she wanted to use Mr. Fu to help her escape.
"She didn't tell us the reason. She only said that she wants to talk unless we let her see you."
"What if I don't go?" Lin Huang frowned.
"You have to go!" The man in the trench coat had a serious expression on his face. "If you want to prove your innocence, the best way is to confront her face to face."
Lin Huang frowned. He could not figure out what Hong Zhuang was thinking at all. He could not rule out the possibility that she was trying to frame him.
However, the Union government was clear that he had to see Hong Zhuang whether he was willing to or not. It was meaningless for him to reject the man as the Union government would definitely send someone else. They might even capture him to see Hong Zhuang.
