After the enforcement team completed the encirclement, Judge Lan did not immediately order the action. Instead, he stepped forward with a serious expression and, in a solemn tone, loudly proclaimed to Lu Fan:

"Awakened Lu Fan, you are suspected of violating Articles 37 and 42 of the Awakened Ability Management Law, including the illegal use of your abilities resulting in death, a violent prison break during detention that resulted in serious injury to two law enforcement officers, and other serious illegal acts."

His voice was clear and loud, sounding particularly powerful even in the raging storm, each word seemingly carrying the majesty of law:

"In accordance with the laws of Central State, you are hereby publicly wanted. Given that you possess the qualifications of an A-level Awakened, if you immediately cease resistance and actively cooperate with the investigation, you may still have the opportunity to seek leniency in accordance with the Supplementary Regulations on Sentencing for Awakened."

After speaking, Judge Lan looked up at Lu Fan and solemnly uttered the last sentence:

"We hope you recognize the situation, turn yourself in as soon as possible, and strive for lenient treatment under the law."

Judge Duan, standing behind Lu Fan, also kindly offered his advice at the opportune moment:

“Lu Fan, with your abilities, you can’t possibly be sentenced to death. If you stop resisting now, there’s still room for leniency.”

Although Judge Duan's voice was slightly low in the wind and rain, the admonition in it was clearly audible. He also felt that Lu Fan's abilities did not seem to be those of the murderer in this case, but everything required Lu Fan's cooperation in the investigation.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan's expression remained icy, and he simply replied indifferently:

"I've said it countless times, I didn't kill those people."

The enforcement captain standing nearby was instantly enraged, his eyes wide with fury as he roared:

"You didn't kill him? The evidence is practically plastered on your face, who else could it be but you?"

His voice was shrill, particularly jarring in the wind and rain.

Lu Fan took a deep breath, trying to suppress the murderous urge within him, and patiently explained again:

"I was just passing by."

"Just passing by? You could just walk past someone's door and happen to witness their murder? What a coincidence!" The enforcement captain seemed to scoff at Lu Fan's explanation, still speaking angrily.

"You won't admit it, huh! We'll take you back for questioning and find out then. Don't try to deny it then!"

As the enforcement captain spoke, he brandished his whip, ready to take action.

Upon seeing this, Lu Fan's expression darkened. He naturally understood the meaning behind the law enforcement captain's words.

He had been taken back for questioning by law enforcement officers once before when he cooperated with the investigation.

It was at that time that he was deliberately harassed by the law enforcement team. The two officers had already tried to teach him a lesson, but he fought back and managed to kill them before escaping.

But now, things have turned out this way, leaving him speechless.

Lu Fan didn't believe there wasn't a single sensible person in the Thunder Bureau. He looked at the strongest officer, Judge Blue, with a questioning gaze and asked:

"Your Thunder Bureau should have someone who can judge whether what I say is true or false, so why don't you use an Awakened One to question me?"

Judge Lan paused, knowing that this was the best approach. Moreover, the procedure by which the law enforcement team arrested Lu Fan seemed incorrect, but the underlying reasons were beyond his control.

Seeing that things were going badly, the enforcement captain immediately interrupted, "Shut up, are you the criminal, or are we the criminals?"

The enforcement captain's voice carried an unquestionable arrogance, attempting to shut Lu Fan up.

Judge Lan looked at the captain of the enforcement team with a puzzled expression, only to see the captain's gaze darting away, avoiding his eyes.

He instantly realized that there seemed to be some inside story he didn't know about.

"Support has arrived," Judge Duan suddenly reminded them from behind.

Lu Fan also sensed that a large number of awakened individuals had arrived, including one whose aura he had seen before.

Upon seeing the person in the distance, Lu Fan's expression instantly darkened, because he finally understood what was going on.

The support of the Awakened arrived quickly, and at their center, they surrounded a tattooed youth.

The young man's entire body, except for his face, was covered with tattoos of various ferocious beasts.

The tattoos were so lifelike and terrifying that they seemed ready to leap off his skin at any moment.

Even just seeing the tattoo on his arm would terrify an ordinary person.

The young man wore a specially made rainproof suit with a green Central Plains flag embroidered on his chest and a translucent green jade pendant hanging from his waist, on which was engraved a striking character "Ning".

On his hand was a jade thumb ring that looked quite valuable, with a pure gold dragon wrapped around it. Every detail of the dragon was exquisitely carved, as if proclaiming to the world his unquestionable noble status.

At the same time, the young man was accompanied by several Awakened Ones with restrained auras, each of them respectfully surrounding him in the middle, making quite a show of force.

When the young man arrived, he could see from afar that Lu Fan was already surrounded by the law enforcement team.

He smiled with satisfaction, as if he had expected this scene, and everything was under his control.

The enforcement captain who had just been loudly questioning Lu Fan suddenly transformed, greeting him with a beaming smile and bowing respectfully:

"Young Master Ye, why did you come in person?"

Upon seeing this, the law enforcement team surrounding Lu Fan quickly made way, and the young man calmly walked in.

The young man's eyes were upturned at the corners, and his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were full of contempt and arrogance. His thin lips curled into a mocking arc, and his every move exuded an innate sense of superiority.

Noticing Lu Fan's murderous glare, he casually twirled the ring on his finger, slightly raised his chin, and looked down at Lu Fan as if he were an ant, his tone full of arrogance:

“Lu Fan, I’ve told you before, you have too much stuff on you, you can’t carry it all.”

“Ye Chun…” Lu Fan stared coldly at the newcomer, muttering to himself.

At this moment, Lu Fan had already guessed Ye Chun's purpose in mobilizing so many people to try and harm him.

Because when he first met Ye Chun, the other party somehow knew all the items in his space.

It should be noted that he had no intention of returning after leaving Qingcheng and entering Zhongzhou, so he took almost all of Qingcheng's belongings with him at once.

Lu Fan still clearly remembers Ye Chun's greedy eyes at that time, the desire in those eyes was almost undisguised.

Moreover, after seeing Lu Fan's wealth, Ye Chun shamelessly asked Lu Fan for half of it on the spot.

Ye Chun spoke in a foul tone and even threatened Lu Fan, saying he had better behave himself or he wouldn't be polite.

Faced with such a threat, Lu Fan naturally wouldn't give a single penny.

However, Lu Fan did not expect that Ye Chun was actually quite capable.

Ye Chun actually kidnapped several refugees, meticulously planned a murder case, and successfully framed him.
