Chapter 253 A Slap in the Face



Lian Han: "Say it again?"

“Bingmo is dead. When Luo Feng found him, he only found his ice crystals.” Ning Jue finished speaking and then explained, “When the Ice Clan people die, their bodies melt away, leaving only their ice crystals.”

Yi Jun: Why can't he understand? The Ice Clan is dead, what does that have to do with Lian Han?

"Who is the murderer?" Lian Han took a deep breath and calmed down.

"The investigation is still ongoing. However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that it was him."

Lian Han's lips curled into a smile. "So?"

With a bad feeling in her heart, Ning Jue explained, "If there's no evidence, then he's innocent. But I think you need to know that you can't control him."

Lian Han paused for a moment, then asked, "What did you do to him?"

"At this stage, it's just surveillance."

But who knows what will happen in the future? Lian Han frowned, "Ning Jue, I don't need you to make decisions on your own."

"It's just concern. You're already in danger enough, and having another unstable factor around you adds to the problem."

"I know what I'm doing."

“Lian Han, plans never keep up with changes. Before you were sent to the Zerg, didn’t you also think you knew what you were doing?”

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Yi Jun, who felt as if he had stumbled upon some great secret, felt a chill run down his spine. Considering the possibility of being silenced afterward, he braced himself and said, "Gentlemen, why don't you calm down and sit down to talk things out peacefully?"

He didn't speak, and the two of them acted as if he didn't exist. But when he finally spoke, they both looked at Yi Jun. Ning Jue frowned, "Shall we talk about this when we get back?"

Seeing Yi Jun's worried yet gossipy expression, Lian Han nodded, "Let's talk about it back home. Yi Jun, I need to see what we agreed on before we leave the starship."

"No problem," Yi Jun assured him.

They remained silent the whole way back to their previous room. Ning Jue looked at her and said, "I've noticed that every time we bring him up, we end up arguing. Can we talk about this calmly now?"

“Okay. Ning Jue, I thought I had clearly defined my territory. Jiang Chenrui is not under your jurisdiction.”

Ning Jue frowned. Was her tone so aggressive right from the start? What happened to her supposed calm and collected demeanor?

"What if he threatens you, threatens federal security?"

"I'll accept it if I fall for him again. But if he poses a threat to the Federation, I'll bear the consequences."

To put it bluntly, she's still protecting Jiang Chenrui. When will she ever protect him like this?

Ning Jue shook her head, dismissing such unrealistic thoughts, and unusually assertive, said, "Don't forget his background. What if he harms the people? Why do you think you can afford the consequences?"

Life is priceless, and reason told her that Ning Jue was right. But Lian Han—she was a very stubborn person, extremely stubborn. Once she believed that Jiang Chenrui was her brother, she would never sit idly by.

"So what? He's dangerous, so he needs to be monitored? Ning Jue, how many of those who get into Diluo Mecha Academy are truly safe and harmless? His problem is just his personality, why are you so upset?"

"I'm just stating the facts. Bingmo's case alone is enough to demonstrate his capabilities."

"Why do you care about the life or death of that kind of person? Do you know how much of a shock Anhe suffered back then?"

Ning Jue: "Why are we bringing up other people again?"

But Lian Han didn't just think about An He's helplessness at the time; she also thought about what happened yesterday. She sneered, "Isn't that right? Or are all men the same, thinking it's okay to be forced? Since you're not the ones who suffer, right?"

“…” Ning Jue rubbed her throbbing temples. “That’s not what I meant. Whether Bingmo lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to make you understand through this that Jiang Chenrui is not safe.”

"So to put it bluntly, you still have a problem with him."

Ning Jue: ...Damn it, why did he have to tell her this? Couldn't he have just quietly taken care of her?

Lian Han saw through his thoughts at a glance, "What? Now you want to kill me to silence me? Ning Jue, you..."

"What if we could find evidence that he committed murder?"

"And you still want to prosecute him? Bingmo is a scumbag. The Ice Clan lost a member, and when they couldn't find any evidence, the matter was eventually dropped. You want to find evidence to separate the two clans? Are you out of your mind or something..."

He was clearly trying to prove he had no problem with that person, okay? When did he mention punishing him? For the first time in his life, General Ning experienced the feeling of having nowhere to voice his grievances: ...

Seeing the girl's incessant chatter, Ning Jue was so annoyed that he just wanted to shut her up—and that's exactly what he did.

Lian Han, who was initially furious, was caught off guard by the kiss. He tried to back away but his head was held in place and the kiss deepened.

After a long silence, Ning Jue chuckled softly, "Are you calmed down?"

Leaning against the man's chest, feeling the vibrations of his chest as he laughed, Lian Han pushed him away irritably, "What are you doing? We're arguing, and you dare to hit me?"

"Isn't this just leaving you speechless, and I just want to shut you up?"

"Am I wrong? You're right—humph!" Lian Han turned her face away, not wanting to pay attention to him, but the red tips of her ears under her black hair couldn't lie.

"What do you think of my proposal now? If he killed the person, I hope you will stay away from him in the future; if not, then I apologize for being prejudiced and I can grant you any request."

"It's possible. But I don't agree with you checking."

"How can that be proven?"

Lian Han waved the smart device in his hand. "Just ask."

“I’m sorry, but I can’t believe his one-sided story.” Ning Jue frowned.

"I didn't expect you to believe Xiao Rui anyway. Did I ask him?"
