PFC Chapter 270 Go and Atone
Chapter 270 Go and Atone
"Chief! I really don't know what you're talking about! Qi Mu... didn't Qi Mu defect? Why are you asking me?"
Zeng Nian naturally refused to admit it, no matter what. He understood the seriousness of the matter; if someone found a handle against him, his life would be completely over.
Luo Yesheng's expression was intriguing, yet difficult to decipher.
"Are you sure... Qi Mu has defected?"
The more simple the question was, the more Zeng Nianxin felt anxious as he was pressed repeatedly.
"Yes...yes! As a colleague, I was also heartbroken by what Qi Mu did, and it took me a long time to accept it."
Luo Yesheng didn't respond. He just stared coldly at Zeng Nian's hypocritical face and twitched his lips.
At the moment, Zeng Nian was unaware that his trembling body, drenched in sweat, and bluish-gray complexion, coupled with his darting, darting eyes and the accompanying lines, made him appear even more dazed.
Full of flaws and poor acting skills, yet still stubbornly insisting on her point.
Seeing that Luo Yesheng remained silent, Zeng Nian panicked even more, and he forced out tears that covered his face.
"Chief, you can't not believe me! Whatever rumors you've heard, I've been wronged!! Please, Chief, see the truth!! I am utterly loyal to you! I am utterly loyal to China!"
Luo Yesheng closed his eyes as if he had given up hope.
“Zeng Nian, if you had even a shred of remorse, I might still consider the bond between your father and me.”
After saying that, he didn't want to look at Zeng Nian again and turned to leave.
Zeng Nian was stunned by his words, but seeing him about to leave, she felt even more panicked and out of control.
"Chief!! Don't go!! Believe me! I really didn't do anything, please see the truth!!!"
Luo Yesheng didn't stop walking, only leaving behind four words.
"Go and atone for your sins."
The figure then completely disappeared through the doorway.
"Leader!! Leader!!! Don't go!!!" Zeng Nian still didn't give up, he felt that this time things were really out of control.
why? ?
That man has been dead for twenty years, why bring him up now? Why bother me with something as trivial as a dead man?
Shouldn't we be making more use of living people?!
What good is uncovering the truth about a dead person? It brings absolutely no benefit other than affecting the living!
Luo Yesheng is truly senile!! If only I had dealt with that old bastard sooner! From the moment he ordered the abolition of the commander-in-chief position rather than let Zeng Nian sit in that position, I should have killed him!!
"Ah!!!" He hated it so much! He hated it so much!!
Qi Mu!! Are you really determined to make things difficult for me even in death?!
After his impotent rage subsided, Li, the supervisor standing to the side, finally spoke, his formulaic tone tinged with disdain.
"General Zeng, I am informing you that you will be put on a public trial."
Having just calmed down, Zeng Nian suddenly raised his head again, his eyes bloodshot.
"What did you say??!"
Once he is publicly tried, it means he will be sentenced in front of the whole country, and it also means that he will be completely abandoned by the organization and will never be able to turn his life around.
“You will be tried in public.” Supervisor Li was not annoyed and was quite happy to repeat it again.
Upon hearing those words again, Zeng Nian slumped completely in his chair, numbly enduring the pain of his wrist being pressed against the metal.
Seeing his dejected appearance, Supervisor Li showed no sympathy.
"I've informed you. We'll send someone to pick you up on the day of the trial and escort you to the court. Think about how you're going to explain your situation."
After saying that, Supervisor Li turned and left with his assistant.
Then the police officers behind him stepped forward, unlocked the latch in front of him, and freed his hands.
"Suspect Zeng Nian, because you are now a serious offender, the anklet cannot be removed."
After explaining the situation, the police left and closed the iron gate.
In an instant, the dark little room was once again left with only Zeng Nian.
But at this moment, he felt that the air in front of him was even more suffocating than when he was crammed inside with a bunch of people.
It's over... Is he really finished?
His official position, his career, and his family...
How could that be? His life had been incredibly smooth, except for Qi Mu, who came out of nowhere and shone too brightly, overshadowing his own.
After killing Qi Mu, everything should have gotten better. He would have continued to act as a high-ranking general until he successfully won the leadership position in the next election.
But how did things turn out this way? Where exactly did things go wrong?!
No!! No way!! I can't be this颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and a lack of motivation)!
He won't admit defeat until the verdict is announced.
Even though it reminded Luo Yesheng of the tyrant's plan back then, he had no evidence to prove that Qi Mu died by his own hand. It was all because his subordinates were careless and killed Qi Mu.
Out of kindness, I knew that Luo Yesheng had always valued Qi Mu, so I made up a reason to deceive him because I was worried that his old bones couldn't handle it.
Yes, Qi Mu participated in the experiment voluntarily. All the murders were done by others. At worst, he could sacrifice two of his trusted confidants and say that they had been jealous of Qi Mu for a long time and therefore killed him behind his back. At most, he would be punished for failing to properly supervise his subordinates, which would not be a big deal.
Once this was cleared up, Zeng Nian's heart finally calmed down.

The next evening.
Ji Ran, who was watching Journey to the West, heard that someone was looking for him at his door. He was a little puzzled, but when he ran to the door and saw who it was, he was even more puzzled.
"You..." Ji Ran was somewhat surprised, and at the same time glanced left and right, not seeing anyone else, only a sports car behind her.
"You came alone?"
Jiang Manxi nodded with a pitiful look on her face, "Mhm."
Ji Ran glanced at the slowly sinking sunset, even more puzzled.
"You came here alone at this hour? Aren't you scared?" And you even managed to find your way.
Could it be a monster in disguise?
You should know that even Chi Tao wouldn't dare to come over alone at this hour.
Jiang Manxi was taken aback, suddenly hearing the quiet wind around her, and the occasional calls of cuckoos.
Suddenly, a chill ran through her body. Without thinking, she instinctively grabbed Ji Ran's arm, shrinking her neck and looking pitiful.
"afraid."
Ji Ran was speechless, but looking at Jiang Manxi, who was pitiful with tears in her eyes, she couldn't bear to scold her. She could only sigh inwardly, no wonder Tang Sanzang was deceived by the White Bone Demon.
Who wouldn't be fooled by her charming appearance?
Finally, Ji Ran sighed, "Then come in."
As Ji Ran led Jiang Manxi into the courtyard, Jiang Manxi was overjoyed.
She looked around and couldn't help but marvel at how exquisite the courtyard was, despite its small size. Last time she came, she was so shocked by Xiao Leng finding her parents that she hadn't noticed these details.
They followed her all the way to the front of the house and immediately spotted Qiu Lingyue waiting for her daughter to return at the gate.
