Chapter 413 Guilt
"Is it okay?" Yan Yu leaned against the car and watched Li Muhan support Zuo Xi as they walked out.
But soon she frowned again, because there was a young girl following Zuo Xi, and that girl looked exactly like Mo Xuan in the photo.
Other members of the execution team immediately stepped forward to put restraint bracelets on her.
Li Muhan was unable to stop them immediately because he was supporting Zuo Xi, but at this moment, Yan Yu raised his hand and stopped his subordinates.
"Alright, she doesn't have the strength to escape like that, so just take her back like this."
Hearing Yan Yu say this, Li Muhan was a little surprised. This girl seemed to have changed a lot compared to the first time he saw her.
"Thanks."
"How many times a day do you have to say thank you to me?" Yan Yu rolled his eyes at Li Muhan, then opened the car door and sat in.
Li Muhan accompanied Zuo Xi and Raven onto the escort vehicle at the rear.
Zuo Xi didn't say a word along the way, he just held Raven's hand tightly.
Raven kept whispering to comfort Zuo Xi.
But Li Muhan seemed to have guessed something from Zuo Xi's eyes. Zuo Xi was sober. He now knew very well that the girl next to him was not Mo Xuan, but just Raven.
As for whether Zuo Xi was willing to accept Raven or just treat it as a substitute for Mo Xuan, that was not something he could interfere with.
Bang bang——
After the vehicle stopped, someone knocked on the door several times.
Li Muhan opened the car door and found that the entrance building of the Special Management Bureau headquarters was already full of Special Management Bureau employees.
Even the civilian and logistics staff who were not combat members were standing at the door, looking at the car that Li Muhan and his companions were riding in with eyes full of resentment.
......Yan Yu looked at these people silently and understood why they gathered here.
Most of these Special Management Bureau members are from the older generation, and in their hearts, Zuo Xi is a complete traitor. Those things that happened back then will naturally be clarified, but not now.
"Okay, please make way."
Yan Yu waved to the crowd.
Because of the intervention of the enforcement forces, the crowd of the Special Management Bureau slowly made way for a staircase leading to the headquarters building.
But they gathered on both sides and had no intention of leaving.
“Tsk.”
Yan Yu roughly understood what these people meant. Just as she was about to raise her hand to ask the enforcement team to disperse them, Li Muhan stopped her and said, "These people have experienced the incident of Team 7 back then. If we don't let them vent, it will be difficult to end it."
"Don't joke, Li Muhan, this is the Special Management Bureau, not some people's private venting place."
"I know. I'll take charge of bringing him in. Trust me."
Yan Yu looked into Li Muhan's eyes and remembered a letter her father had recently written to her.
That’s right, in this era, only this father and daughter still communicate through letters.
In the letter, in addition to asking Yan Yu to make a routine report, Yan Jue also rarely expressed concern for Yan Yu's injuries. At the end, he even used some words to explain his views on Li Muhan and said that he admired Li Muhan very much.
Yan Yu felt puzzled at the time. What does it have to do with me if you admire him? Why did you have to tell me?
But in fact, she knew very well that there were not many people in this world who could be appreciated by her father. Perhaps Li Muhan really had something special besides the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons in his body.
"There really are people like you in this world, always getting themselves into trouble. As the current captain of Team 7, getting so close to him, do you know what you're facing?"
So Yan Yu also spent a lot of time and effort to persuade Li Muhan.
But Li Muhan smiled faintly and said, "That's not something you would say, Captain Yan. And when it comes to meddling in other people's affairs, you're no less nosy. There must have been some misunderstandings between us before, and my team members did some excessive things to you. I hope we can put aside the past and work together in the future."
As he spoke, Li Muhan extended his hand to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu originally had a bad reputation in the Special Management Bureau. Everyone thought that she, Yan Luowang, was so ruthless and impartial that no one wanted to be friends with her.
But now, Li Muhan, the popular figure in front of Director Chang and Director Lin, is so close to her?
The eyes of the people around looking at Li Muhan gradually became unfriendly.
"...Idiot, if you like looking for trouble, go ahead."
Yan Yu did not shake Li Muhan's hand. She waved to her subordinates and then walked up the stairs alone.
Li Muhan looked at his hand hanging in the air and smiled helplessly.
Then he walked back to Zuo Xi and tried to help him up the stairs, but Zuo Xi refused.
"...It's all right now. I can just go in by myself."
Li Muhan looked at Zuo Xi's body. There were extensive injuries all over his body, not just from the recent battle, but also from countless old injuries. Before, Raven had used his own strength to forcibly maintain this body in his body.
Now that the raven has left his body, Zuo Xi's old and new injuries have added up together, and his right leg has almost completely lost all feeling, making it very difficult for him to even walk.
"It's already this late, stop acting like a spoiled brat."
Li Muhan helped Zuo Xi up without saying anything, and then said to Raven, "I'll take care of the other side, please."
Raven nodded, and then whispered to Zuo Xi: "I... I will accompany you..."
Zuo Xi did not lose control of his emotions like before. He seemed to have figured out that the raven was just a raven and not a substitute for anyone. But it was precisely because of this that he could not truly face this alien from the other world.
"traitor."
After slowly walking up the stairs, the crowd began to vent.
"Not only did you kill your own team members and betray the Special Management Bureau, you also killed Senior Zhong Rulin."
"You scum."
"You must be sentenced to death."
"You escaped the death penalty before, but there's no chance of that happening this time."
When the first curses rang out, these older members of the Special Management Bureau, who were either Geng Yang's old friends, Mo Xuan's seniors, or Dean Zhong Rulin's students, all vented their anger on Zuo Xi.
Someone even threw a mineral water bottle at the three people.
The water bottle hit Li Muhan on the head, but he didn't react at all.
Seeing that the three men did not move, Li Muhan did not say anything, so these people became even more unscrupulous, and more and more mineral water bottles and debris were thrown at the three men.
On the top floor of the Special Management Bureau building, Chang Yue frowned when he saw this scene.
"Are you sure you don't want to stop it?" Lin Ze asked behind him.
"After all, from Zuo Xi's perspective, he did nothing wrong and shouldn't be accused of this."
Chang Yue nodded, but also sighed: "Geng Yang, Mo Xuan, and the dead Zhong Rulin, and Lin Ziyu lying in the operating room, they did nothing wrong. Before the culprit is caught, people always need an outlet to vent."
"It's a bit unfair to these three children." Although Lin Ze had a blank expression on her face, one could tell from her words that she was somewhat reluctant to let Li Muhan and Zuo Xi be treated like this.
"Don't worry, once this resentment is released, the moment the truth is revealed, the sense of relief will quickly turn into guilt."
Chang Yue sat back in his chair. On the table was a stack of documents, all of which were petitions demanding the death penalty for Zuo Xi.
"And this sense of guilt is the best weapon to protect Zuo Xi."
