Dalton said quickly, "Last night, Josh used a mental weapon in Bourne City. Someone filmed the video and posted it online. Now the internet is buzzing with rumors, and everyone is saying they want to denounce her!"
Cherry's eyes flickered: "How can this child still be so ignorant of the seriousness of the situation?"
There was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
After Susanna sent her a message in the middle of the night last night, she immediately hired some online trolls to create hype and add fuel to the fire for Josh.
This idiot, isn't his wings already strong enough?
Didn't he think he could do whatever he wanted just by clinging to Yu Ze, and he treated her badly and bossed her around?
She wanted to see what Qiao Xi would do this time!
The city of Bourne has always had strict laws and regulations.
She just didn't believe that Josh would get away with it this time!
She had specifically told her brother, who had just taken office at the Urban Management Bureau, to treat Qiao Xi well, so that others would not think that he was biased.
Urban Management Bureau.
As soon as Josh entered, he was locked in a small confinement room and pressed on the table. His hands were shackled by chains that popped out from the table, and the same shackles were put on his feet and neck.
She frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong: "What are you doing?"
The person next to him said expressionlessly: "This is what the director meant."
"Your chief ordered you to carry out lynching?" Josh struggled a bit and felt a stinging electric current passing from the chain into his skin and straight into his bones.
She calmed down instantly and didn't struggle any more.
There were footsteps outside, and a tall man walked in. He was wearing a military uniform and a hat with an icon of a captain on it.
As he approached, the air pressure in the entire room dropped rapidly, and a sense of solemnity came over them.
This is the kind of aura that can only be created by fighting on the battlefield for years.
The man stopped in front of her, his slender eyes narrowed: “Are you Josh?”
Josh looked at him. The man had a very sharp face and looked at her with disgust.
"Who are you?" Josh asked instead of answering.
The disgust on the man’s face became even worse: “I’m Charlotte Lu.”
Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows. The last name Lu seemed a little familiar.
The man looked at her coldly: "He is also your uncle."
That is, Cherry's brother.
Before Cherry put the video in front of him, he didn't believe that a girl could be so bad.
It was not until he saw in the video that Josh pushed Susanna to the ground and down the stairs again and again, denied it again and again, framed her, was disrespectful to her elders and sharp-tongued, and even after getting the weapon and awakening the skills, the first thing he did was to control her biological mother and drag her down from the stairs.
Such bad behavior gave Charlotte a particularly bad impression of this niece whom she had never met.
He spent decades on the battlefield, and all his military achievements and promotions were earned through hard work.
He had just been transferred back from the battlefield due to his military merits and was appointed as the director of the Urban Management Bureau of Bourne City. However, the first case he took over was about his niece who blatantly violated the Urban Management Regulations and used weapons to climb a building.
It's still causing a stir on the Internet.
A new official has three things to do when he takes office, and this one is his relative.
In order to convince his subordinates and avoid being accused of shielding his relatives, he had to severely punish Qiao Xi.
Who made her run into the muzzle of the gun?
What's more, Cherry happened to call him last night to complain, saying that when she came to Bourne City to see Josh a while ago, she was humiliated by her, saying that she was trying to curry favor with the nobles and looked down on the Augustine family.
Charlotte hated such children who loved to curry favor with the powerful.
He had been on the battlefield for a long time and was extremely fed up with the nobles' ways.
Otherwise, he would not have left his family, resolutely joined the military, and gone to the battlefield for decades without returning home.
Charlotte sat down in front of her. "You used a weapon in public and made it known to everyone. Do you know how bad your behavior is?"
When Josh heard that he was Cherry's brother, his appetite dropped, he rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
No wonder he looks like someone owes him eight million. We are not from the same family.
Charlotte slammed the table seriously and said, "Tell me, why did you use weapons in public? Don't you know that using weapons is against the city management regulations?"
Josh looked away.
Seeing this, Charlotte electrified the chain.
Josh groaned, met Charlotte's expressionless eyes, and clenched his teeth tightly, not allowing himself to make any sound.
The stubborn look startled Charlotte. He was too familiar with this look. The wolf cubs in the military camp always had hostility in their eyes when they refused to admit defeat.
It was hard for Charlotte to reconcile that look with the bad character of the girl in front of her.
His expression turned cold: "What? Are you dissatisfied? This is the normal interrogation process. If you don't speak, I have more ways to make you speak."
Josh suddenly laughed.
Charlotte frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
Qiao Xi glanced at him mockingly: "I just find it funny. In this day and age, doing something righteous can actually get you arrested and punished?"
"You?" Charlotte glanced back mockingly: "Doing something brave?"
His preconceived impression made it hard for him to believe that this was a girl who would bravely do something righteous. He was more inclined to believe that she was just trying to get away with it and making up excuses on the spot in order to escape punishment.
Josh has never been one to engage in confrontation, but this guy seems to have a lot of say here.
There was no need for her to be stubborn and give herself excuses to be punished by others.
She nodded. "Yes, I met a woman who had a heart attack in the restroom of a movie theater. She asked me to take her back to the car to find medicine. The situation was critical at the time, and the elevator was too slow, so I carried her up with a weapon."
The person next to him was writing down the notes quickly.
Charlotte glanced at her and said, "You know what the consequences of lying in the Urban Management Bureau are, right?"
Qiao Xi smiled slightly: "If you have nothing to do, just check the surveillance. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in public places. You won't believe a word of my one-sided story, right? I have said everything I need to say."
Seeing how confident she was in what she said, Charlotte began to believe it a little more.
If this is the case, the merits of being brave and righteous can offset the demerits. Military law is strict, but it also takes into account human feelings. The prerequisite is that the person involved at the scene can be found to testify for her.
Charlotte stood up and was about to ask someone to look for her when suddenly a man in aristocratic clothes walked in.
The man was wearing the unique badge of the Grant Bing family. This badge was not only a symbol of the Grant Marquisate, but also one of the patron icons of the Eden Guild.
Charlotte frowned slightly. He knew this man. He was the adjutant of Marquis Grant. He had met him once at a ball where the noble district and the military district were meeting.
The man walked up to Charlotte, took off the white gloves in his hand, and held them out in front of him elegantly: "Hello, you must be the new Director Charlotte, I am the adjutant of the Marquis Grant, Norton Isaac."
Charlotte shook his hand. "Hello, I wonder why you are here..."
