After reading the letter that Hong Zhuang left for him, Lin Huang had a drastic change in his impression of her.
The impression that Hong Zhuang gave Lin Huang in the past was that she was cunning and unpredictable. She was a seductress who would do anything to achieve her goal. She was like a beautiful snake that exuded a lethal aura.
However, this letter made Lin Huang see a different version of Hong Zhuang.
At least in this letter, Hong Zhuang was an ordinary lady with flesh and blood. She loved her brother very much. Throughout the 13 years, she had never given up looking for Zhuang Hong. She even transferred her love to him because of their resemblance.
After reading the letter, Lin Huang let out a long sigh of relief. He then looked at the slightly bulging envelope. There was an intact Emperor's Heart Ring in it.
He recognized that it was the ring that Hong Zhuang had worn when she was in the Martial Arts Academy.
"She's actually quite a pitiful lady. She's just unlucky …" Liu Ming comforted Lin Huang as he did not speak for a long time.
"Yeah …" Lin Huang felt sorry for her. If someone had saved her 13 years ago, her life would have been completely different. Perhaps she would be a member of the Coalition government or the Hunters' Association now. Unfortunately, fate had pushed her to the other side of the abyss.
Lin Huang was secretly glad that Li Lang, Yi Yeyu, and the rest whom he had met since he came to this world were kind people.
"The reason why I didn't want to give you the letter is that this lady is too scary. She has everything planned out. She even predicted that you'd be investigated, so she purposely put the letter in my drawer. Not only did she consider that nobody would search my office, but she also took my relationship with Mr. Fu into consideration. In reality, not many people know that I've received guidance from Mr. Fu.
"At first, I was a little worried that she was using this letter to set you up. Plus, I knew that this wouldn't do you any good, and it might even cause unnecessary trouble. So, I was hesitant to give you this letter." Liu Ming explained why he handed over the letter after so many days.
"Although this letter won't bring me any benefits, it will let me know the truth of the matter. Some questions that I wasn't sure about before have also been answered." Lin Huang nodded in understanding. "Thank you, Senior Brother Liu."
"Regardless of whether this letter is true or not, you must understand one thing. As long as Hong Zhuang is alive, she belongs to the Purple Crow." Liu Ming looked at Lin Huang seriously.
"I know." Lin Huang knew that Liu Ming was trying to emphasize the opposing relationship. Regardless of Hong Zhuang's past, it was a fact that she had joined the Purple Crow and became one of the Purple Crow's upper echelons. Furthermore, the Purple Crow that spread terror was basically against the Union. No matter what one's standpoint was, the opposition could not be changed or eliminated. "I'll try my best to fulfill her last wish."
Hearing this, Liu Ming finally felt relieved.
…
In an interrogation room in Layer 33, Hong Zhuang was sitting opposite a middle-aged man. The man kept asking all sorts of questions. Hong Zhuang had a faint smile on her face and answered all of them calmly.
There were two silhouettes standing behind the one-way mirror outside the room.
A muscular silhouette looked at the woman in the interrogation room through the mirror with his arms crossed.
The other person had a thick layer of gauze around his neck. He took out a lollipop from his pocket and popped it into his mouth. He then asked, "This woman just opened her mouth like that?"
"Yes," Zhou Xiong responded simply. His eyes never left Hong Zhuang.
"But she wouldn't say a word even after we did so many things to her." Wu Sheng scratched his neck above the gauze. "Did she become so obedient just because she met the kid named Lin Huang?"
"What are you trying to say?" Zhou Xiong then turned his head to look at Wu Sheng.
"I think there's something wrong with Lin Huang." Wu Sheng took out the lollipop from his mouth and looked at Zhou Xiong in all seriousness. "His position in the Purple Crow might be higher than Hong Zhuang since he managed to make this woman open her mouth."
"Do you think the Purple Crow will choose a white flame-level to be its leader?" Zhou Xiong raised his eyebrow and looked at Wu Sheng.
"Of course, it's impossible for him to be the Crow Leader. The Crow Leader's ability must be convincing. However, I'm not sure about the Crow Spirit. After all, nobody has seen any of the Purple Crow's Crow Spirits throughout the 800 years. Nobody knows how to select the Crow Spirit. "Wu Sheng then popped the lollipop into his mouth again.
Zhou Xiong's pupils shrunk and he looked away from Wu Sheng. "Lin Huang is Mr. Fu's apprentice. We can't do anything to him without any evidence."
"Mr. Fu? No matter how glorious his past is, he's just an old man now. He doesn't have many years left to live. " Wu Sheng continued, "I don't know what he's thinking. He's about to die and he's still looking for an apprentice. Right now, who knows how many people are waiting to cut him and his disciple into pieces on the operating table to extract their brains. As long as he dies, his disciple will definitely become the target of countless forces. Maybe even the core area will send people to make a move. "
"However, as long as he's alive, nobody will dare to touch Lin Huang." Zhou Xiong ended the conversation without any expression on his face.
"That's true …" Wu Sheng could not deny it. He held the lollipop with both of his fingers and spun it slightly. He fell into silence.
"Oh yeah, how's your injury?" Zhou Xiong turned his head and looked at his neck that was bandaged.
"It's not a big problem, but I can't fight anymore. Otherwise, my wound will split open again." Zhou Xiong said helplessly, "The person's sword has a special attribute. I can't use my Life Power to heal it. I can only wait for my wound to heal like an ordinary person. I think it'll take at least one to two months to heal completely. Moreover, it'll leave an ugly scar. If you didn't press on my wound that day, I'd definitely have died. It'll be a different scene today. For example, you'll be standing at my grave and giving me a wreath. "
"Take a good rest during this period of time. I'll take care of everything in the bureau. Let's talk about it after your wound has healed. "Zhou Xiong patted Wu Sheng's shoulder.
"Let's wait for two more days. I want to hear from this woman who was the black-robed person that day." Hatred flashed through Wu Sheng's eyes. "I'll find him and make him pay with my own hands!"
Zhou Xiong's brows furrowed slightly, but he did not say anything.
"Oh yeah, what did the higher-ups say about this woman?" Wu Sheng asked again.
"We'll handle it after we get all the information. However, the higher-ups said that the dead body must be handed to Lin Huang in one piece, "Zhou Xiong answered honestly.
"Did Mr. Fu do it?" Wu Sheng was impatient.
"Yes."
"Then, let me handle this." Wu Sheng bit the lollipop in his mouth and crushed it.
"Your body condition …" Zhou Xiong was worried.
"I don't have to do anything. Don't worry, I'll handle it." Wu Sheng took out the lollipop from his mouth and crushed it into pieces.
