Quan Yuxun thought that he hadn't told such a heartless lie for many years, but he had to say it.
His smile grew warmer, and he spoke in a gentle voice, "We were lucky. A passerby saw those twenty-five gray-robed men slaughtering unarmed civilians, so he drew his sword and helped them out, beating them all to death. They were reduced to a bloody mist, and I'm afraid even their ashes are rare."
Xia Chujian added, "Yes, that passerby turned all 24 of them into a bloody mist, but there was one gray-robed man whose upper body was only turned into a bloody mist, and the lower half fell off."
She casually pointed to a spot somewhere in the square.
Huo Yushen glanced at his secretary Kang Shanxing.
Kang Shanxing understood and hurriedly took people to the direction Xia Chujian pointed to to verify.
Huo Yushen looked at Quan Yuxun, then at Xia Chujian, and said, "...So, a passerby suddenly attacked and killed all 25 super-high-level genetic evolvers?"
"Chief Quan, can you take a polygraph test from our Special Security Bureau regarding your previous remarks?"
Quan Yuxun smiled bitterly and raised his hands in surrender: "No, I can't."
He looked at Xia Chujian apologetically: "Ms. Xia, I tried my best."
Xia Chujian: “…”

Huo Yushen's face was grim, and he turned around quickly: "You two, follow me."
Quan Yuxun signaled his bodyguards to wait here, and he and Xia Chujian followed Huo Yushen forward.

Xia Chujian had no intention of holding the child either.
Quan Yuxun sighed, bent down and asked the child, "Do you want your uncle to carry you? We can walk faster."
The child gripped Xia Chujian's gun barrel tighter, a look of fear on his face, and his little body trembled.
Xia Chujian said, "Don't scare him, Chief Quan. He can do whatever he wants."
Quan Yuxun said, "Are you sure he's willing to pull the barrel of your gun? Do you know that by doing this, you've violated the Imperial Child Protection Law?"
Xia Chujian felt like she was being blamed for something she had done wrong. She said aggrievedly, "...He's not my child. I was just helping others. How could that be illegal?"
Quan Yuxun: "..."
"The Imperial Child Protection Law is not only for parents, but for all adults in our country," Quan Yuxun explained.
Xia Chujian snorted slightly, glanced at the dead children in the square, and said, "...What about them? How can the Imperial Child Protection Law protect them?"
Kwon Yu-hoon's expression gradually grew serious. "This is where the law is imperfect," he said. "But we have already killed all those who killed children, so justice will eventually prevail."
