The leader's voice was as cold as ice, and every word was loud and clear. Lu Kewu stood there in a daze, his heart full of doubts, but he didn't dare to show any of it.
He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes flickering, as if at that moment, all his confusion turned into silent resentment.
"She... must be at the main base." Lu Kewu thought to himself, his fists clenched unconsciously, veins bulging.
However, the majesty of the head of state was always there, forcing him to suppress his anger and endure it temporarily.
He left angrily, each step filled with dissatisfaction and unwillingness. His back seemed to be saying that he would settle this account sooner or later.
Song Jiao had already laid a tight net. The outer layer of the experimental base was tightly wrapped with a plasma shield, like a solid wall. The so-called high-tech of the Lu family was nothing but a joke in front of her.
After a month of day and night fighting, forty of the latest convertible mechas emerged like mushrooms after a rain. Disguised as cars, they quietly dispersed to every corner of the city, waiting for the opportunity.
"Use radar scans and use the highest-grade materials. There must not be any omissions." Song Jiao's eyes were firm and cold. Every detail was carefully polished by her, just for that moment to come.
And those selected warriors, facing these mechas, had excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
They knew that this would be an unprecedented battle and a stage for them to prove their worth.
On the other side, Chen Xinyue was like a frightened bird, curled up in the corner of the hotel room, and every footstep made her terrified.
Lu Kewu's torture was like an endless nightmare, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted and covered in bruises.
Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, and while the cleaner was cleaning the room, she rushed out of the hotel like a wild horse, running wildly on the street.
She hailed a taxi at random, with only one destination - the President's Palace.
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.
When she rushed to the gate of the President's Palace with hope, she was stopped by the ruthless security guard.
At this moment, Lu Kewu's men appeared like ghosts, pressing forward step by step.
Chen Xinyue cried out in despair: "Let me in! Someone wants to kill me! I have all the evidence of the Lu family's crimes!" But the security guard was like a sculpture, indifferent.
At this critical moment, Song Jiao slowly walked out of a black car. Her appearance was like a ray of light, illuminating Chen Xinyue's dark world.
She nodded her chin at the guard at the door and said, "Send him to the head of state's office."
Then, she turned around, her eyes revealing endless coldness as she stared directly at the pursuers, "Haven't you been looking for me? Now, I'll show you how powerful I am!"
Song Jiao shook her wrist, and a crisp cracking sound came from between the joints, like a prelude to a war drum.
Then, like a released beast, she rushed towards the group of pursuers.
Her fighting style was wild and direct. Each punch she threw was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder. She knocked down all twenty or thirty strong men, and they lay on the ground wailing.
The battle ended so quickly that Song Jiao didn't even have a breath disordered as she walked straight into the door of the head of state's office.
Inside the house, Chen Xinyue was kneeling on the ground, her body trembling slightly, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.
"Commander Chen, there are clearly chairs here, why do you have to put yourself in such a difficult position?" Song Jiao raised a playful smile, and the sarcasm in her eyes became more obvious.
The head of state sat behind his desk, his eyes deep as he quietly examined Chen Xinyue.
"Go ahead, tell me everything you know." His voice was calm and powerful. He then turned his gaze to Song Jiao, a cold glint in his eyes. "Otherwise, I believe Ji Qing will make you understand what true pain is."
Chen Xinyue trembled all over, she knew that she had reached a dead end.
She took a deep breath and spoke resolutely, "I admit that due to my poor judgment, I misjudged the enemy's numbers in the previous battle. My presumptuous decision-making resulted in the sacrifice of many innocent soldiers."
"In order to cover up my mistake, I used the Lu family's control over the mechas to send three thousand recruits to their deaths, just so that a few of us could escape back to the base safely." Chen Xinyue's voice trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
Upon hearing this, the leader slammed the table, stood up, and his eyes were burning with anger.
"Three thousand people! All of them perished because of your one mistake! Do you know how many happy families you've destroyed? How can you let them cope with this sudden change?"
Chen Xinyue finally collapsed, her body slumped on the ground, tears rolling down her face like beads from a broken string.
"I really know I was wrong. I never thought things would develop to this point. The number of enemies far exceeded our expectations. They even knew our tactics very well and directly implemented a counter-encirclement. I really had no choice at the time but to..." Her voice choked with sobs, full of regret and helplessness.
The atmosphere in the entire head of state's office was suffocatingly solemn.
The leader sat back in his seat, took a deep breath and calmed himself down, "This traitor deserves to die!"
"Where is the evidence of the Lu family's guilt?" He always suspected that all this was related to the Lu family.
Chen Xinyue suddenly stood up, her body trembling, and hurriedly took out the personal chip backup that contained countless secrets from her pocket, her eyes full of fear and determination.
"Here...here is everything I've secretly backed up over the years!" Her voice trembled, yet with a hint of unwillingness, "All the evidence of the Lu family's collusion with forces outside the Federation is here! I really don't want to die!"
"Now you know how to beg for mercy?" Song Jiao paused, the sound of her high heels hitting the ground like the drumbeat of death, step by step approaching, "Do you think this can buy your life?! Do we want to die?"
As she spoke, Song Jiao's eyes flashed, and she suddenly kicked Chen Xinyue in the lower abdomen. The sharp high heels dug into her flesh. Chen Xinyue turned pale in pain, her body curled up into a ball, and her wails were heartbreaking.
"Head of State, keeping this kind of person will only bring disaster. It's better to hand her over to me so that I can teach her a lesson!" Song Jiao curled her lips into a sneer, her eyes full of ruthlessness and disdain.
The leader pondered for a moment, his eyes scanning back and forth between Chen Xinyue and Song Jiao, and finally nodded slowly, his voice as cold as ice: "It's up to you."
"No! No! Leader, save me! I don't want to go with this crazy woman!" Chen Xinyue rolled and struggled on the ground, waving her hands wildly, trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.
But her struggle seemed so powerless in front of Song Jiao. Song Jiao grabbed her hair and lifted her up, her eyes full of ridicule and indifference.
"Let's go, Chen Xinyue, it's time to confess to your innocent victims!" Song Jiao said, ignoring Chen Xinyue's struggles and wailing, she carried her on her shoulders and walked out with big strides.
