Li Xin, who was far away in the Todut War Zone Command, certainly didn't know about all the preparations the three brothers of the Gao family had made after receiving his report.
Now he is still waiting in the theater headquarters.
Of course, he was not just sitting there doing nothing. He was combining various pieces of information and everything he had experienced during this period.
He collected clues one by one, and through his rapidly spinning brain and chips, he kept calculating, trying to unravel the confusing situation.
But he didn't know much about what he knew, nor did he understand much about the authority of the higher-ups. After analyzing for a long time, he only found that his current predicament was getting worse and worse.
If he left, Li Xin was worried that someone would attack him along the way.
Staying in the theater headquarters, Li Xin was worried that Zhong Jianping would attack him now.
Although, M4 can only arrest and interrogate with the authorization of the group's internal affairs department.
But who knows whether Zhong Jianping, blinded by anger, will do anything illegal.
Li Xin's fingertips kept tapping on the armor on his wristband.
Now he is wearing a Class B power armor. After all, he has just broken through to Class B, and the mecha is still being transported.
However, Li Xin was able to arrange the power armor and Class B chips very quickly.
He was confused and couldn't believe that Duan Xinjie would put him on the chessboard and treat him as a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.
So Li Xin is hesitating now.
But soon, a junior staff officer came to the lounge where Li Xin was.
He said, "Manager Li, why don't you leave?"
"Commander Duan has already arranged an airship for you to Yadun. He asked me to inform you that Zhong Jianping's two escort officers have been dispatched to capture you!"
"Returning to the Dewan War Zone now can still avoid them!"
When Li Xin heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He looked at the staff officer and said, "I understand."
The staff officer then turned and left.
Behind him, Li Xin kept staring at the staff officer's departing back.
Only at this moment did he have to conclude that there was definitely something wrong with Duan Xinjie.
But why? What did he want to do?
An officer like himself, a man he had promoted personally, and an M4 with real power, was simply abandoned like this?
But Zhong Jianping's two guards must be on their way.
At this moment, Li Xin's mind was full of thoughts. He stood up and left the lounge. He could not stay here any longer.
This kind of indoor space is not a suitable place. If Zhong Jianping wants to deal with Li Xin even at the expense of violating the rules, then in this headquarters, once they bring equipment that suppresses psychic energy, Li Xin will be in danger.
So Li Xin finally chose to walk out of the gate of the theater command. He stopped outside the gate, ready to face Zhong Jianping's two military attachés.
He just couldn't believe that someone would dare to attack him in such a respectable place where so many people were coming and going, all of them officers, and at the gate of the theater headquarters.
When Li Xin walked to the side of the gate and stood there quietly, Duan Xinjie was standing on the top of the headquarters building. He looked at Li Xin below.
A smile appeared on his lips, and he folded his arms across his chest and said slowly, "He's a smart man, but it's such a pity."
"The smarter you are, the more I can't keep you. For my plan, you'd better die!"
…
On the other side, Zhong Jianping's two military attachés had already driven to the theater headquarters with a team of genetically modified soldiers.
Chang Shu immediately spotted Li Xin standing in a prominent position and couldn't help but ask, "He... is he waiting for us?"
Su Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems so."
"This is the theater headquarters. We can't make any noise. We need to get everything done as quickly as possible. If he cooperates, that's great. If not, we'll quickly end the battle!"
Chang Shu also nodded.
The two men got out of the car with their guards and headed straight for Li Xin. The three of them looked at each other, but Li Xin did not retreat or dodge at all.
There was a sense of tension between their eyes.
The two sides' completely different postures, coupled with Chang Shu and his men's murderous looks, quickly attracted the attention of others at the entrance of the theater command.
Those who appeared here were officers of all ranks. Some of them stood far away, wanting to see what would happen next.
Finally, two military guards came in front of Li Xin, and one of them held up a warrant signed by M5's supervisor Zhong Jianping.
Su Yuan held the warrant in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Director Li, we suspect you are involved in a murder case targeting a senior military officer of the group."
"This is a warrant from Headquarters' M5 Supervisor, Zhong Jianping. Please disarm and come with us!"
Li Xin looked at the warrant. It had all the necessary formalities, but it did not have any authorization from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He shook his head and said, "According to the group's internal regulations, the arrest, interrogation, and disposal of M4-level military and political officials requires the presence or written approval of a higher-level Internal Affairs official."
"Now, my employee level has been promoted to M4D16, and I am a senior defense manager!"
"You two want to take me, but you are not of the right rank and position."
"So, please forgive me for not being able to cooperate."
Chang Shu, on the other side, had a hot temper. He immediately said, "How dare you refuse the order of the supervisor!?"
Li Xin turned to look at the B-level psychic and said, "I am not under his command. I have no obligation to carry out the orders of the Supervisor."
"If you came to me for this matter, then you can go back now!"
"Without the authorization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the approval of the Minister of Internal Affairs, I will not go with you!"
When Su Yuan heard this, his eyes turned cold. He said in a cold tone, "Manager Li, I advise you to think carefully before you speak!"
"We represent the supervisory chief of M5!"
"This is the Todut War Zone Command. Even the Duan commander here needs to cooperate with the orders and decisions of the supervisory commander."
"I advise you to come with us honestly, so that you can still maintain your dignity at the door of this headquarters!"
His right hand slowly pressed on the power sword on the side, and said coldly: "But, if you don't want to be decent, I will help you be decent!"
"We will follow Supervisor Zhong's orders. I hope you will also consider it carefully!"
Chang Shu on the other side was also on high alert, staring at Li Xin intently.
The two psychics on the opposite side are not stronger than Li Xin. In Li Xin's perception, they are only B1 and B2 level psychics.
