Ye Shijie nodded at Gu Shanjun and said affirmatively, "Director Gu, that's right. I originally wanted to wait before taking action, but our team members hate evil and can't stand the evil deeds of these human traffickers, so after informing me, they opened fire in advance. But it was also with my permission that we changed our plans."
In fact, he did not get his consent. He did not want Xia Chujian to appear too rebellious and do whatever she wants in front of a heavyweight like Gu Shanjun.
Although they are a non-governmental organization, the management system within the association is militarized.
Very particular about following orders.
Gu Shanjun didn't care about these details at all.
He just looked at the photo with mixed feelings.
After a long while, he turned off the projection of the photo and said to Ye Shijie, "If what you said is true, then something must have happened between your departure and the intervention of the regular army that we don't know about."
Ye Shijie still looked incredulous and said, "...these victims are all dead? Really all dead?"
"They are indeed dead. Their relatives have already claimed their bodies." Gu Shanjun briefly told them the follow-up.
Although Xia Chujian didn't understand the twists and turns, she was keenly aware that there was a connection between the Dark Night Hunter Association and the so-called "regular army."
It seems that they also communicated with each other.
Otherwise, how could they get photos from the "regular army"?
Xia Chujian's eyes flickered slightly, and he silently shifted his gaze towards the direction of the gate.
What she didn't say was that although the missing victim's face did not appear in Ye Shijie's photo.
But when Xia Chujian was rescuing her, he still saw a little bit of her face through the sniper rifle's scope.
Although it was just a quick glimpse, the girl's general facial features could be seen.
She is very delicate, with a typical oval face, which makes people feel very weak and innocent.
But she had her eyes closed at the time, and her thick bangs covered most of her face, making her look like an ordinary high school girl.
"What about the missing victim? Is she dead too?" Ping Qiong asked timidly. Thinking of what happened that day, there was still a trace of fear on her face.
At that time, the human trafficker suddenly grew tentacles from his mouth, almost frightening Ping Qiong to death.
Gu Shanjun shook his head regretfully and said, "I don't know. We don't have any information related to this victim. The only thing we can be sure of is that this person was also one of the victims, and then she disappeared."
After saying that, he finally waved his hand and said, "Alright, go collect your mission rewards first. By the way, the Special Security Bureau may also want to question you in a few days."
"Special Security Bureau?!" The team members looked at each other in confusion.
Ye Shijie hesitated and asked tentatively, "Director Gu, to be honest, today when we returned from the Forest of Exotic Beasts and were entering Mulan City, we encountered some difficulties from Deputy Director Fan of the Dafu County Punishment Department."
"Deputy Director Fan? Who is he? I've never heard of him." Gu Shanjun frowned. "How did he make things difficult for you? Did he ask for money?"
Gu Shanjun didn't seem to take it seriously at all.
Ye Shijie was slightly disappointed.
He wanted the association to step in and help Xia Chujian get justice, but looking at Gu Shanjun's appearance, it didn't seem like he would stand up for them.
Ping Qiong felt particularly sad when she thought of the injuries on Xia Chujian's body, especially her swollen face and the bleeding shoulders and arms.
She couldn't help but say, "They don't just want money! They want our lives! Our teammate is just an ordinary person, without any mental power, and they're targeting her! They say she's a suspect in the humanoid slave riot at the Mulan City plantation and beat her black and blue! — all to take over our aircraft!"
Gu Shanjun said "Oh" and looked up at Xia Chujian.
The swelling on Xia Chujian's face had subsided by now, but she looked very haggard.
She was wearing a bulky coat and there was no sign of any injuries on her body.
Gu Shanjun raised his chin and asked Xia Chujian, "What's going on? Tell me."
Xia Chujian pursed her lips.
What's the point of saying it again if this person can't stand up for her?
She lowered her eyes, not meeting Gu Shanjun's gaze, and said calmly, "It wasn't that serious. They hit me, but I hit back. I killed everyone who wanted to harm me on the spot. Also, Colonel Zong from the Special Security Bureau came forward to help, so we were able to leave safely."
Gu Shanjun frowned upon hearing this. "Colonel Zong from the Special Security Bureau? Who?"
"He said his name was Zong Ruoan, and he was the director of the Information Department of the Special Security Bureau."
Gu Shanjun suddenly realized: "So it's him! He's from the Zong family. Do you know the Zong family?"
Song Mingqian's eyes moved slightly: "...Is it the Zong family of the Zong military industry?"
"That's right! Don't you know? The Zong family of Zong Military Industry is one of the four great noble families of our Beichen Empire! Did he interfere?"
Xia Chujian hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not really direct interference, it's just letting us go."
Gu Shanjun nodded, that's right.
How could someone of Zong Ruoan's status and position care about such trivial matters?
He then asked Xia Chujian, "Did you kill someone? Did you kill someone at the Mulan City checkpoint?"
"Well, four humanoid pariahs. Fan Chengcai asked them to attack me. I couldn't just sit there and wait to die, so I fought back." Xia Chujian said calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
But only the people in their team knew how dangerous the situation was at that time.
Although they did not witness Xia Chujian's counterattack with their own eyes, they saw it with their own eyes the subordinates led by Fan Chengcai.
