Song Jiao's eyes were as cold as frost, and she glanced at the man in front of her who was blessed with good fortune and was undoubtedly the hero of the story.
Chen Xinyue lay powerlessly on the ground like a broken rag doll, unable to even utter a word of defense before she fell into the abyss of coma.
Lu Kewu's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He said in a low voice: "No matter what the reason, violence is not the way to solve problems."
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile. Her voice was cold and sharp: "Not a reason to attack? Do you know that more than a hundred mechas were ruthlessly controlled, becoming living targets, and being sent to the abyss of death! Now, you tell me that this is not a reason to attack?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd exploded in an instant, with fear and anger intertwined on their faces.
"Mechas can be controlled? Doesn't that mean we could become the next victim at any moment?"
"Oh my God, this is a nightmare! Who can guarantee our safety?"
The crowd's emotions gradually got out of control, and the noise rose and fell. Lu Kewu's eyes were deep, and he saw through Song Jiao's intentions - what she wanted was justice, an explanation for all the victims.
He cursed Chen Xinyue's stupidity in his heart for leaving such an obvious flaw, giving others a handle to catch him.
"Then tell me, how do you want to solve this problem?" There was a hint of helplessness in Lu Kewu's voice.
Song Jiao slowly raised her head, her eyes firm and sharp. "I want you to reveal the entire truth, give every victim the honor and compensation they deserve, and the families who have suffered as a result of your wrong decisions must also receive the compensation they deserve."
Lu Kewu's face suddenly changed when he heard this: "Do you know what you are talking about? Are you asking us to admit our mistakes to the whole world? You are simply talking nonsense!"
Song Jiao chuckled softly, her smile tinged with sarcasm and determination. "Crazy talk? No, I'm just speaking out for a fair world. If you don't even have this much courage, how can you lead us into the future?"
Lu Kewu's eyes froze instantly, and he understood Song Jiao's intention - she wanted to turn the whole thing upside down and let the storm sweep every corner.
"An explanation? Whatever you want, I, Lu Kewu, will naturally give it to you." A cold smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were like knives as he stared directly at Song Jiao, "But this is definitely not the place to discuss such things."
Song Jiao, however, refused to budge. Her laughter was sharp and provocative. "Oh, right here, in front of everyone, I want to see if you, Governor, can give a convincing explanation. Otherwise, how can you comfort those soldiers who are about to die?"
Lu Kewu swept his eyes across the crowd around him, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
The shadow of the mecha being controlled hangs over everyone's heart like a dark cloud.
He took a deep breath and his gaze returned to Song Jiao: "Okay, I promise you. I will investigate it myself and give everyone a satisfactory answer."
After saying this, he turned and left, his steps firm, each step seemed to step on people's heartstrings.
Others also left, but the worry and fear spread among the crowd like a plague.
The atmosphere in the Governor's office was suffocating.
Chen Xinyue lowered her head, her long hair covering half of her face, revealing only her eyes filled with fear.
Her voice trembled as she apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I was negligent and didn't clean it thoroughly..."
Lu Kewu's face was terribly gloomy. He took a step forward and suddenly pinched Chen Xinyue's chin with such force that she could hardly breathe.
"Sorry? Do you know that what you just said has completely made the situation out of control! Is this the surprise you promised me?"
His fingers gradually tightened, and Chen Xinyue felt a sharp pain in her jaw, but she didn't dare to resist. She could only squeeze out a few words: "Governor, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, I will definitely handle it..."
"Deal with it?" Lu Kewu sneered, his eyes flashing with madness. "How are you going to deal with it? Kill them to silence them?"
Chen Xinyue trembled all over. She didn't expect Lu Kewu to say this word so directly.
But she knew that she had no way out at this moment, so she could only bite the bullet and nod: "Yes, as long as this matter can be completely settled, I am willing to do anything."
Lu Kewu released the hand that was pinching her chin, and Chen Xinyue was able to breathe deeply.
He looked at her coldly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "Okay, then I'll give you a chance. But remember, this is the last time. If you make any more mistakes, you will bear the consequences."
After saying that, he turned and walked to the window, looking at the bustling city outside, but his heart was filled with gloom.
Song Jiao quietly returned to the original owner's room. She knew in her heart that those shadows that were secretly watching her would never let her go easily.
She lay on the bed, closed her eyes and concentrated, pretending to be asleep, but in fact, every nerve in her body was tense, like an arrow ready to be shot.
Time flows like solidified ink, drop by drop, until the midnight bell rings quietly, at exactly twelve o'clock.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open by a brute force, and a black shadow flashed in.
The man tiptoed to the bedside, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
However, just when he was about to succeed, Song Jiao suddenly spun up like a ghost and kicked out with a gust of wind. The dagger instantly flew away like a leaf blown by the wind.
At the same time, she grabbed the man's wrist with her backhand and pulled it hard. The man fell to his knees with a thud, like a puppet being pulled by an invisible string.
"Hmph, with this little ability you have, you think you can sneak attack me?" Song Jiao's voice was full of sarcasm, and her eyes were like ice blades, piercing the man's heart.
The man was obviously stunned by the shock of this scene. He could never have imagined that a new recruit could have such superb skills.
Didn't he hear that this person wasn't strong? Why did he look like a completely different person now?
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you!" The man gritted his teeth and shouted, trying to maintain his last dignity.
Song Jiao suddenly laughed. The laughter was clear and pleasant, but it also carried a hint of madness that made people's heart palpitate. "Who said I want to kill you? Of course I have a better way to play."
After saying that, she pressed the alarm system button on the bedside without hesitation.
In an instant, the shrill alarm sounded like a tide, instantly flooding the entire base.
Inside the base, lights flickered and figures were everywhere. Many people were awakened by the sudden alarm and hurried over, throwing on their clothes.
And Lu Kewu, also in this chaotic crowd, walked over with a frown and a sharp gaze.
He saw the man kneeling on the ground, and also saw Song Jiao standing beside the bed with a calm expression.
His expression became even uglier. He couldn't even deal with a piece of trash.
But on the surface, he still acted calmly and asked, "What happened?"
