While the group was talking, Chang Le sat up straight under Qin Yizhao's cold gaze, straightened his clothes, and slightly raised his chin to ask:
Who are you two?
Qin Yizhao slammed his hand on the table: "This is a question unrelated to the inquiry, please don't waste your time!"
Chang Le immediately turned cold, stood up, and walked away.
"Stop right there!" Qin Yizhao shouted. "Who told you to leave?"
The woman beside him had already stood up and walked over, as if she was about to stop him.
Seeing this, Li Yunfan immediately connected to Qin Yizhao's headset and said sternly, "Mr. Qin! Please manage your time well and finish what you need to do as soon as possible. Don't delay the next arrangements."
Qin Yizhao controlled his temper and softened his voice: "Chang Le, I was just asking about what happened during the assessment. Please return to your seat."
Chang Le stood at the door and turned around, his gaze fixed on the right wall, seemingly penetrating into the room on the other side.
"I will tell you everything truthfully, but it involves secrets. Are you sure you want these two people with unclear identities to question Mr. Qinling, General Li, and the young masters of each family?"
Qin Yizhao waited for Qin Ling's decision in his earpiece.
Li Yunfan also looked at Qin Ling: "Old Qin, I think Chang Le's safety should be the priority in this matter."
That means we should put aside those formalities and grudges unrelated to this matter for now.
Qin Ling chuckled softly, "Xiao Liu, you leave. Let Chang Le come over here."
Si Yehong raised an eyebrow in sudden realization and winked at Qin Xian: "Is your great-grandfather testing Chang Le's character?"
Qin Xian looked puzzled: What do you mean?
Si Yehong gave him a reproachful look: Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me worry about Chang Le!
Qin Xian was confused: Why are you blinking so much?
Si Yehong gave a thumbs up: Brother Qin, you just love to pretend, but your character is still pretty good.
Qin Xian, who received the like for no apparent reason, nodded in bewilderment.
While the two were exchanging nonsensical messages, Chang Le came over from the other room.
Pushing open the door and meeting Qin Ling's imposing face, Chang Le chuckled lightly: "Old Qin, your show of force isn't very pleasant."
Qin Ling's sharp eyes swept over him, and he suddenly chuckled, "It's been years. You've grown up. Your demeanor is somewhat reminiscent of the Dragon Emperor."
Amidst the puzzled looks from others, Chang Le explained, "Back then, during the period when the decision was being made on whether or not I would be raised by a prominent family in the region, I met with Mr. Qin once."
Back then, in order to ease the tension between the Ninth District and the Greater District, the two sides held several joint meetings to discuss whether to use her as a hostage. Chang Le had attended several of the meetings held in the Ninth District.
Most regional representatives supported using her to ease tensions and strengthen cooperation with the nine districts, especially regarding information sharing on integration, which was known to Chen Fuguang.
Chang Le remembers,
At that time, there was an old gentleman who insisted that Shen Fuguang confess what he knew about the fusion, showing his arrogance and stubbornness.
But when the key to easing tensions fell to her, this old gentleman was the only one who resolutely opposed it from beginning to end.
He said:
"As one of the great figures who were founded in the Central Plains, the Dragon Emperor must take responsibility for the social unrest caused by his own actions!"
But this child is innocent! She has no reason to bear a burden that none of you can handle!
Shen Fuguang said that this old gentleman, named after a mountain, fought a lifetime of great achievements and is a person worthy of respect.
However, he has a cold and stubborn personality, and believes that everything must be divided into black and white, so sometimes his righteousness turns into evil.
Chang Le didn't recognize him when she saw him before the assessment, but she remembered him later.
When Chang Le saw Qin Yizhao, she guessed that it wasn't a show of force, but rather the old gentleman testing her attitude and reaction.
If she softens her stance when facing Qin Yizhao, the old man will doubt the truthfulness of her words; if she speaks frankly about confidential matters, the old man will find her words credible.
Qin Ling replied, "Chang Le, you should know that this matter involves a wide range of people, so please tell us the truth so that we can handle it fairly."
Chang Le then explained how Hao Renhe had used a special method to hide the Void Realm within him, and stated directly that he was the one who killed them.
However, she told a clever lie in the middle and at the end.
When talking about how she killed Sora, she said, "I'm not quite sure how Sora died. Maybe he had a problem with himself, or maybe his strength was weakened to hide it. I was affected by his 'Mirror Room,' and there's a part of my memory that I don't remember clearly. I'm sure it wasn't me, Chang Le, who killed him."
Finally, speaking of the destroyed bodies: "I only saw their bodies suddenly frozen solid, and then they exploded into pieces. I don't know what happened. I assure you that everything I've said is true."
Chang Le thought to herself, "She really wasn't lying, was she?"
Kong Jing was killed by Wei An. She didn't see how Kong Jing was killed. In the setting of "Chang Le", she doesn't have ice attribute ability. Chang Le couldn't have handled the corpse like that.
She was telling the truth.
Chang Le's eyes were exceptionally sincere as he recounted the story.
The listeners had different thoughts.
"So, after your infiltration mission during the Northern War, the God-Making Faction has always suspected that you possess fusion abilities?" Qin Ling's question wasn't just about the unexpected events that occurred during the training camp. "Please tell me in detail how they learned about and used your abilities at that time."
At this point, Qin Ling took out an antique gilded token:
"This is the order from the Qin family patriarch. This question should have been asked of you after the Northern Frontier Campaign, but due to your health condition at the time, and later the Sun family's unexpected events, we were unable to do so. Now, on behalf of the management committee, I ask you to answer."
