Gao Han learned the whole story from Zhongli Tingzhou.
During the six days he was away, the matter of Meteor Mine fermented again. It was said that Yuan Zhe found new evidence but did not submit it to Penglai University. This was known from the people from the Spirit Refiners Association.
The new evidence comes from an eyewitness, the only survivor of the mine explosion, who came forward to testify against Gao Han's actions.
He said that he was tricked by Gao Han into bombing the mine, which was why he attracted the level 11 sea monster.
The other party's testimony caused a sensation at Penglai University, especially among the families of the deceased, who had always refused to believe that their loved ones had died in this way. After being instigated, they jumped up and demanded that the association give them justice.
However, the Lin Ying brothers quickly stood up and accused him of lying.
The mine explosion had nothing to do with Gao Han; it was caused by those people's greed.
He also said that Yuan Zhe deliberately released the news about the Meteor Mine in order to lure everyone over there. If we really want to investigate, Yuan Zhe is the culprit.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, so even though Yuan Zhe reported the case to the Spirit Refiners Association, they were unable to offer a reward for Gao Han because the chain of evidence was not sufficient and there was also the interference of Penglai University.
Unexpectedly, the Spirit Refiners Association refused to give up and actually wanted to act first and report later, arresting Gao Han first.
"How did the so-called survivors appear?"
If Yuan Zhe already had control over this person at that time, why didn't he use his ultimate move at the beginning, but waited until this time, unless this was the person he found after he left.
"Still investigating." Zhongli Tingzhou replied.
Gao Han remembered that everyone he saw was dead, "Are you sure the other party is a survivor?"
"Yeah." The sun was about to set, and Zhongli Tingzhou accompanied him as he walked in the sunset. The evening glow reflected on his face, adding a bit of warmth to the sharp edges.
"That's what appeared later." It seems that they didn't check carefully at the time, which allowed Yuan Zhe to find the survivors and bribe them to slander him.
Apparently, the matter was not over yet. Within two days, the Spirit Refiners Association came again, but this time they came to Penglai University.
The Lin Ying brothers were in the same team with Gao Han at the time, so their testimony needed to be discounted and could not be used as decisive evidence, so the Spirit Refiners Association resubmitted an application and asked Gao Han to accept the investigation.
This time, the application was formal and well-founded, so Penglai University could no longer reject it directly.
Gao Han had to go to the Spirit Refiners Association.
When we were almost at the entrance of the association, we saw two groups of people standing there.
"Chen Zhengtao, if I remember correctly, the association has entrusted this matter to me. What are you doing here?" Li Jun frowned in dissatisfaction, looking at the calm man standing beside him.
They are members of the same association, but they are also competitors.
"Of course I'm here to pick up an important person." Chen Zhengtao said calmly.
"Important person?" Li Jun sneered. "I think you are here to snatch the prisoner from me. Now we are arresting him through formal channels. Do you want to break the rules?"
Chen Zhengtao narrowed his eyes. "First, I want to correct you. He is not a criminal, just a suspect. Watch your choice of words. Second, he was invited to assist in the investigation. The one who broke the rules is you, right?"
Li Jun snorted coldly, "That's not necessarily true. The evidence is irrefutable. Once you enter the association's gate, you have to ask me if I agree to leave again."
Chen Zhengtao: "Haha, then I'll wait and see."
As he was speaking, Gao Han was brought over.
"Are you Gao Han, the suspect who murdered dozens of spirit cultivators?" Li Jun's eyes were gleaming with oppression, as if he did it on purpose, trying to intimidate Gao Han with his aura.
"You are the Li Jun who abused his power for personal gain, accepted bribes, and used his position to collude with the Yuan family to seek benefits and frame others?"
Before Chen Zhengtao could open his mouth to scold, Gao Han interrupted him. Looking at Li Jun's expression changing from surprise to anger, he couldn't help but smile with interest.
Gao Han knew this person; someone told him about it before he came.
The people that the Spirit Refiners Association sent to capture him last time were Li Jun's men, who had accepted bribes from the Yuan family.
"You are talking nonsense!" Li Jun was so angry that his face turned blue.
"Whether it is true or not, we will know later." Gao Han looked at him fearlessly.
Li Jun's chest rose and fell violently. He was very angry and stared at him with a cold and poisonous look: "Wait until you fall into my hands, and I'll see if you can still keep your mouth shut."
Chen Zhengtao did not give him the opportunity to bully others. He said with a smile, "Don't worry, Gao Han. I asked you to come here just for routine investigation. If he dares to resort to lynching, you don't need to do anything. Someone will find trouble for him."
Gao Han nodded gently: "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"Chen Zhengtao!" The stage was dismantled in an instant, and Li Jun became angry and embarrassed.
"Am I wrong, or did you intend to resort to lynching?" Chen Zhengtao narrowed his eyes.
Li Jun shut up immediately. Even if he thought so in his heart, he would not say it out loud and leave it for them to use.
With Chen Zhengtao supervising, Li Jun was unable to use any tricks he had and could only call the survivor to confront Gao Han.
Li Jun threw a copy of the accusation in front of Gao Han. "The evidence is irrefutable. Do you have any other explanation?"
"How much benefits did they give you?" Gao Han looked at the survivors.
The survivors kept their heads down.
Gao Han added: "You are so stupid. No matter how many benefits you have, you have to use them with your life. If you offend two forces, no matter which side, they will not let you go. Why bother?"
"Do you think I want to? It's because..." The survivor raised his head. He looked to be only in his twenties. He was very excited and scared, but he was interrupted by Li Jun before he could finish.
"Speak nicely."
"Li Jun, what are you doing?" Chen Zhengtao, who was listening, immediately shouted angrily, and he almost said it out loud.
Li Jun looked somewhat smug, "It's just a routine matter, what else can I do?"
"I know it's not easy for you to be a wild cultivator. You were caught and have no one to back you up. You have no choice but to let them control you." Gao Han looked at the survivor's frightened expression.
"But even if you change your words and help them frame me, when you are no longer useful, those people have the character to not give me a chance to turn the tables. You will only end up in one fate. Don't disbelieve it. Some people are born without humanity. To them, killing someone is as easy as drinking water or eating a meal."
The survivor was originally just a young man with no background or backing. He had not been out there for long and had not experienced the baptism of blood and rain.
Gao Han had observed him since he was brought in.
His eyeballs kept trembling, his face was pale, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, he was nervous, frightened and uneasy. You could tell that he was a very timid person.
If the person behind him can intimidate him, then naturally he can do it too, and facts have proved that he can.
The survivor's mentality was not good enough. With just one sentence from him, the other party almost exposed himself. If Li Jun had not spoken up in time, the confrontation would probably have come to an end.
But it doesn’t matter. If there is one, there will be two. Gao Han is not worried.
“Are you saying that no matter what I say, I will die in the end?” The young survivor turned even paler.
"It depends on whether you are standing in the right position. Given your current position, the probability is 100%," said Gao Han.
Seeing that the survivor was about to be convinced, Li Jun angrily said, "Gao Han, watch your words, you are threatening me!"
The young survivor was not really stupid. He had heard about the tyranny of the Yuan family. If they really wanted to kill him, they could just move their fingers.
He didn't know what Gao Han's background was, but when he saw Li Jun being occasionally controlled by Chen Zhengtao, he guessed that his background might be similar to that of the Yuan family.
Seeing how calm this man was from the beginning, the young survivor thought that maybe he could take a gamble. After all, those people were just threatening him and didn't even give him any benefits. He wouldn't lose anything if he changed sides at the last minute.
If Gao Han knew that Yuan Zhe didn't promise any benefits to the other party, he would definitely laugh to death.
No wonder his plan went so smoothly, it turned out that he had divine assistance.
"Can you save my life?" the survivor asked after thinking for a long time.
"It's no problem for you to enter Penglai University. In Penglai, the Yuan family won't dare to do anything. There are secret guards everywhere. If anything happens to you, everyone will know that it must be the Yuan family who did it."
The survivors were entangled.
Li Jun was stunned when he saw his wavering look.
Just then, someone sent him a message. Li Jun immediately stopped the operation and took the survivor out. About five minutes later, he brought the person back.
Gao Han noticed that the other party's expression was less hesitant and more excited. As soon as he sat down, he changed his tone.
The Yuan family was indeed watching outside.
The survivor angrily shouted, "We almost fell for your trick, you executioner. It was you who leaked the news about the Meteor Mine and deliberately tricked us. You also arranged for someone to bring up the topic of the mine explosion, killing so many people."
"Luckily I didn't die. I heard what you said with my own ears. These idiots are so stupid that they didn't even know there was an eleventh-level sea monster nearby. You even said that these people are finally dead and the Meteor Mine is yours."
"It seems that just now, they promised you a lot of benefits." Gao Han shook his head.
"I don't understand what you are saying. You have killed so many people, yet you can still sit here with a clear conscience. Aren't you afraid that those people will turn into evil spirits and come after you?" The survivor suddenly became strong.
Seeing Gao Han was speechless, Li Jun said smugly, "Gao Han, what else do you have to say?"
"He doesn't need to say anything!" At this time, the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened, and General Zhongli walked in with a tall and mighty body. The wide space suddenly became cramped.
Chen Zhengtao immediately stood up and asked, "Why is the general here?"
Of course, it was Zhongli Tingzhou who asked him to come. General Zhongli did not say anything. He looked at Gao Han and nodded, "Don't worry, they dare not do anything to you."
Gao Han was not worried, "Where are the others?"
General Zhongli knew who he was asking, "After notifying me, I don't know where he ran off to."
"General Zhongli, are you going to take people away? I'm afraid that's against the rules." Yuan Ding, who was behind him, finally couldn't sit still when he saw Zhongli Yunfeng appear.
General Zhongli glanced at him calmly and said, "Who are you? Tell me the rules and ask Yuan Zhengshan to do it himself. Now, my words are the rules. You can listen to them or not."
