The team members who were not Ji Chuan's followers felt strange. They were clearly here following Chu Tiankuo's orders and should have given priority to completing the tasks assigned by the leader, but their captains were all unusually respectful to the deputy leader of Jianghua City.
"Lord God of Faith, it was a misunderstanding. Our leader received news that Jianghua City needed help due to a city change, and thought that Jianghua City was in a state of emergency, so he came to support us."
Yu Yin, who arrived last, explained first that she didn't want Ji Chuan to misunderstand her, so she tidied up her appearance before showing up here.
Ji Chuan narrowed his eyes. "Li Jingru just helped Jiang Zhilan hold a handover ceremony tonight. Almost all members of the base, big and small, participated in the banquet. Who sent the message for help?"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and no one answered.
Everyone was confused by the situation. In the evening, everything was prosperous and everyone was toasting. How could a coup happen?
"Wasn't Chief Li present tonight? Although he left after the handover, he said that he couldn't drink alcohol due to a chronic disease and needed to rest early. It's normal for him to leave early, right?"
There were already guards nearby who were complaining in dissatisfaction. Although the people from Shannan did not kill anyone, many guards were injured, and many members of the combat team were also slightly injured.
The three teams from Shannan City that were surrounded felt very embarrassed. How could Jianghua City be in a state of emergency with a God of Faith in charge?
"I was the one who asked Yin Lie to ask for help!"
Xu Huaizhi's voice was heard in the passage, and everyone's eyes moved back. Xu Huaizhi looked a little haggard, and behind him were the captains of three combat teams.
Xu Huaizhi's gaze fell on Ji Chuan, his expression was a little complicated.
The moment he saw Ji Chuan, he felt that everything made sense, why Li Jingru behaved abnormally, why rebels appeared in the base, and why Jiang Zhilan, a member of the production department, became the acting leader.
That is, everyone was threatened by his use of force. Although Li Jingru appeared to be very strong, he had fought with this mysterious deputy leader and knew how powerful he was.
The opponent seems to be able to defeat him easily. It is normal that such strength can threaten Li Jingru, right?
It is normal to use force to suppress Tian Guang and Qu Jian, right?
It would be more normal to choose a puppet that is not threatening and obedient, right?
He felt as if he suddenly understood everything. Although he did not have the ability to defeat this mysterious deputy leader, the three powerful captains of Shannan City were present today and they would uphold justice for Jianghua City.
"It was him! He was the one who threatened Chief Li! He threatened the interrogator beside the chief! He threatened Tian Guang to rebel! He was also the one who chose Jiang Zhilan to be the acting chief. He needed a puppet who would not resist!"
Xu Huaizhi shouted very loudly, he believed that this was the truth of the matter.
Ji Chuan snorted and looked at Xu Huaizhi with contempt.
"Oh? Since I like to threaten people so much and have such big ambitions, why didn't I threaten all the top leaders? Why didn't I become the leader of this base myself? Why did I save the strong men in the base? Wouldn't it be better for me to control this place if they died?"
Xu Huaizhi's eyes widened. He just thought of it on impulse but didn't consider the deeper issues at all. Facing the questions raised by Ji Chuan one after another, Xu Huaizhi opened his mouth again and again but couldn't utter a word.
Members of the base had long heard that the deputy leader did not care about the base's affairs and only followed his own heart and had no ambitions.
He also rescued Ding Yong and Xia Yiqing's team. During the two rescue processes, the deputy leader was seriously injured. He is the kindest leader.
I heard that he almost risked his life the second time trying to save someone. Yet, he was so kind to Xia Yiqing, who had been sparring with him since he took office. How could he possibly threaten so many people?
Everyone had already begun to whisper about these events and inferences, looking at Xu Huaizhi and his companions with disdain and anger.
If he hadn't asked for help randomly, they would have fallen asleep perfectly tonight. It is rare to have activities like banquets after the apocalypse, and it is such a happy thing to have a few drinks and have a good sleep.
But now it has all been ruined by these few people.
Yin Lie had already started swallowing his saliva; he had a bad feeling.
"What's wrong, Minister Xu? Since you are so sure, haven't you thought of a reason? Or is the truth just as Li Jingru announced? You failed to assassinate Li Jingru, but he discovered you and threw you into jail. Are the rebels actually your people?"
"Not only have you instigated the interrogator and Tian Guang to rebel, your forces also include Yin Lie, Ning Chuhe, and Hua Ranqiu behind you. It can be considered a strong group. If Li Jingru is stabbed to death, who do you think is most likely to become the leader?"
Ji Chuan's eyes flashed coldly, and Xu Huai's back was covered with cold sweat. How could this happen? What was he talking about? Xu Huai even felt tinnitus.
"No, I didn't! They asked me to help save Xu Huaizhi! I don't know anything! I'm not a rebel!"
Hua Ranqiu was about to cry. She stood up and accused Yin Lie and Ning Chuhe in agitated manner.
She joined the action without knowing why, but she didn't expect that she was being used. Although she had a good relationship with Ning Chuhe, she never wanted to betray the base.
Ning Chuhe was going crazy. Her brain was working so fast that she felt a little short of oxygen.
The direction of events tonight was something she had never expected. Was her minister really a rebel?
"You're talking nonsense! Jiang Zhilan is your puppet! Everything was planned by you! You don't want to be the leader because you control the puppet! Li Jingru was very confident when he released his pressure, he didn't have a chronic disease, he was just threatened by you!"
Xu Huaizhi sorted out his thoughts and seemed to shout out all his inferences.
No, everything is wrong. There must be something wrong with this deputy leader!
