A large number of awakened individuals who rushed to provide support quickly surrounded everyone present.

At this moment, a victor's smile had already appeared on Ye Chun's lips, a smile full of pride and arrogance.

He immediately suppressed the purple aura emanating from his body due to the banned drug, as if nothing had happened, and returned to his previous seemingly harmless appearance.

However, Judge Blue wouldn't pretend he didn't see anything.

Ye Chun's actions just now were all strictly prohibited by Zhongzhou and had seriously violated Zhongzhou's regulations.

Logically, as judges of the Thunder Bureau, they should have taken Ye Chun back to the Thunder Bureau for a serious investigation in accordance with the laws of Zhongzhou.

However, everyone around him seemed oblivious to Ye Chun's actions, which made Judge Lan even more convinced that he had been used by Ye Chun.

At this moment, Judge Lan had a general idea that Ye Chun had probably not told the truth before.

The truth is very likely that, as Lu Fan said, all of this was a carefully fabricated slander by Ye Chun to frame him.

Looking at the Thunder Bureau reinforcements surrounding them, Judge Blue realized that all of these reinforcements were high-level Awakened Ones.

Among them was even a ninth-tier awakened one leading the team, which could be described as the strongest combat force that the Ningcheng Thunder Bureau branch could send out.

Among the support team, the man who appeared to be the leader had sharp eyes and an imposing presence that inspired awe.

The jade pendant at his waist was exactly the same as Ye Chun's, both bearing the same character 'Ning'.

The man glanced around, his gaze lingering for a moment on Lu Fan's elemental form, before he said coldly:

"Thunder Bureau Enforcement! All personnel involved must be immediately brought back to headquarters for questioning!"

"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

At this moment, Ye Chun seemed unable to contain his ecstatic joy and burst into hysterical laughter:

"Hahaha, you lost! Lu Fan."

Ye Chun's eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc as she glared fiercely at Lu Fan, then gave the order to the support team:

"Guards, take this traitor back with you."

"I'd like to see if you'll still be so stubborn in the interrogation room in Ningcheng."

The rain poured down harder and harder, but Ye Chun became more and more relaxed.

He looked up at the sky obscured by dark clouds, as if the outcome was already decided, and arrogantly whispered to Lu Fan:

"Remember, here, power is the evidence."

Ye Chun's tone was full of arrogance, as if he were proclaiming his so-called "truth" to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan hovered in mid-air, a hint of disdain flashing in his pale blue eyes, and coldly replied:

"I disagree. Your so-called rights are nothing but a joke in the face of absolute power!"

"Strength?" Upon hearing this, Ye Chun felt a surge of determination and immediately threatened, "Since you can't find any evidence, I'll use my strength to make you confess."

Lu Fan silently scanned the crowd below, a hint of disdain in his eyes:

"Ye Chun, you don't think that bringing these people will be enough to subdue me?"

The man who appeared to be the leader frowned upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. Lu Fan's words were clearly a questioning of his strength, and he immediately shouted sternly:

"I am Ye Anzhen, the deputy director of the Ningcheng Thunder Bureau. I will naturally investigate the truth of this incident."

"We will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty person go free."

"Don't worry, if you are innocent, the Thunder Bureau will definitely give you justice!"

As he spoke, a powerful energy erupted from Ye An Town, like a surging wave, instantly suppressing the lightning power released by Lu Fan around him.

The tiny electric currents in the air were forcibly dispersed by a powerful force, and the electric light on Lu Fan's body dimmed as a result.

Ye Anzhen deliberately displayed his formidable strength, seemingly to threaten Lu Fan, or perhaps to reassure Lu Fan that he would handle the matter fairly.

Lu Fan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then let out a disdainful sneer:

"Fairness?" His laughter was full of doubt and sarcasm towards Ye Anzhen's claim of "fairness".

Hearing Lu Fan's sneer, Ye Anzhen's face darkened completely.

"Lu Fan, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. If you cooperate obediently, you might get a lighter sentence. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Lu Fan sneered, and the lightning power around him surged violently once again:

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to take me back, you'll have to see what you're capable of."

Ye Anzhen's expression turned serious, his eyes flashed with anger, and he waved his hand and shouted:

"Form ranks!"

The ten high-level awakened individuals instantly dispersed, each taking their own position, their bodies shimmering with light.

The other Awakened Ones stood behind the ten Awakened Ones and exerted their power simultaneously, gradually forming a golden energy net in the air, woven from countless fine golden rays.

Seeing this, Judge Lan, who was not far away, hesitated for a moment.

Logically speaking, when the Thunder Bureau forms an array to arrest criminals, other Thunder Bureau members nearby should participate and form an array together.

But the events of today have truly shaken Judge Lan's resolve.

He knew that Ye Chun's behavior was seriously illegal, and the so-called "law enforcement" in front of him seemed to be full of shady dealings. He really didn't know whether he should get involved.

Upon seeing the formation, Judge Duan, driven by duty and instinct, immediately rushed forward without hesitation.

He turned around and saw that Judge Lan behind him still hadn't moved. He grew anxious and immediately turned back to shout:

"Old Lan!"

Judge Lan snapped out of his daze, looked up, and saw Judge Duan with a very serious expression, his eyes revealing a sense of helplessness, patiently advising him, word by word:

"Make the best of a bad situation and perpetuate it."

After saying this, Judge Duan did not linger and resolutely turned back to join the attack on the golden formation.

"You also think it's wrong?" Judge Blue muttered to himself.

He understood what Lao Duan meant. If he didn't get involved today, he might not have the chance to participate in the future, and it would bring him a lot of trouble.

After hesitating, Judge Lan still chose to stand still.

He always adhered to the principle of presumption of innocence and felt that the matter was far from reaching the point of a life-or-death battle.

However, it seemed that Ningcheng's supporters wanted to kill Lu Fan in one fell swoop from the very beginning, and had no intention of listening to any of Lu Fan's explanations, which made it really difficult for him to go along with them.

Seeing that one person hadn't moved, Ye Anzhen glanced at Judge Lan with a cold expression and secretly made a mental note of him.

He didn't pursue the matter on the spot, but instead focused his attention on Lu Fan.

Ye Anzhen understood that as long as he could successfully arrest Lu Fan and bring him back, he could keep him imprisoned in Ningcheng indefinitely.

At that point, there will be no need to worry about whether Lu Fan has committed a crime.

No matter how ruthless and tough Lu Fan is, there will always be a day when he can't hold on any longer and has to admit it.

"Formation complete—!"

Ten high-level awakened individuals simultaneously raised their hands and shouted in unison.

The air buzzed as the golden energy network fully took shape.
