"Is what you're saying true? Let me tell you, we're not easily fooled. Don't try to lie to us with fabricated stories!"
Yue Jiuling stood with her hands on her hips, staring at the giant centipede. She frowned and said sternly, "Let me tell you, some things can't be said carelessly. So much time has passed since what you said happened. Hasn't anyone doubted your case? Or is Liu Jie so capable that everyone believed the fabricated evidence as soon as it was presented?"
"Of course, we had our suspicions, but we still couldn't clear my name because there were just too many documents, some of which I couldn't even imagine myself. Actually, it was only after I was locked up that I realized some of the evidence had been collected a long time ago, so the smear campaign was premeditated. Liu Jie must have known for a long time that he would be suspected one day, so he had already prepared to make me a scapegoat. Otherwise, how could there be so much false evidence?"
The giant centipede only came to these thoughts after he was imprisoned. Fortunately, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, so as long as he gets out, he still has a chance to overturn the verdict.
At this point, the giant centipede sighed and said, "Alas, I dare not ask you to help me overturn the case, but I hope you can spare my life. I escaped from prison this time. If I am caught again, then forget about overturning the case. I will definitely face the death penalty when I get back."
After listening to the giant centipede's words, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi both fell into deep thought, because they both doubted whether what the giant centipede said was true. If it was true and they caught the giant centipede, then the giant centipede would be in a terrible predicament.
However, if it's fake, and they released the giant centipede, then catching it next time might not be so easy. Although Ya Zi and Yue Jiu Ling are both very powerful, if the giant centipede uses other methods to conceal its aura and traces, it will be difficult to catch it.
The two of them couldn't come to a conclusion no matter how much they thought about it, which made the giant centipede next to them very anxious. He was afraid that the people from the city's metaphysics management office would also come. If they came, even if Yue Jiuling and the other person wanted to let him go, the others would not agree.
"You still don't believe what I'm saying? Well, I know you won't believe me so easily, but haven't you noticed something? Liu Jie is a half-demon. You should all know what a half-demon is like. Beautiful lady, you're a half-demon too, right? So you should know more about half-demons than anyone else."
The giant centipede looked at Yue Jiuling, the 'half-demon,' and said, "Liu Jie has been the vice president of the association for so many years, why hasn't anything changed? As you all know, a half-demon is actually a child born from the union of a human and a demon. Such people are not much different from ordinary people, at most they just live a little longer, but they also get old, sick, and die. Moreover, they don't have the same talent for cultivation as ordinary demons, and even if they do, they are extremely rare."
"As for Liu Jie, I used to work with him, how could I not know him? He used to be a half-demon, doing clerical work, and rarely even went out on fieldwork. I've been locked up for so long, so he should be close to his grave by now, right? How come he hasn't changed much and is still the second-in-command in the association? Shouldn't he have retired and been waiting to die long ago?"
Hearing the giant centipede's question, Ya Zi shrugged and waved her hands, feigning ignorance, and said, "Really? Actually, I don't know him very well. After all, I've only been working here for a few months."
Seeing that Ya Zi was starting to act up, Yue Jiuling said helplessly, "Indeed, I don't really know him very well. After all, I've only been with the company for a little over a year. However, I've had the pleasure of meeting Liu Jie, the vice president, once. He is indeed a half-demon, but a half-demon with extraordinary strength."
As Yue Jiuling spoke, she looked at the giant centipede and said, "You said he was just a half-demon back then, so what was his true form? How strong was he?"
"His true form is a small, scruffy wolfhound. When I met him, he was only in his early twenties. He always went out on field missions with the main team. I also heard that he was a premature baby with very low talent. How much ability could he possibly have?"
When the giant centipede spoke of Liu Jie from the past, his face was full of disgust: "He was really weak back then, otherwise I wouldn't have investigated him for so long without suspecting him. I only found out about him by accident in the end."
