Chapter 104: I believe in him_1
Ye Qingci asked coldly, "Are you sure he is a cohort of the Black Wolf Demon?"
"Absolutely! Why else would he defend the demons, aid their escape, and even wound me? No normal martial artist would dare lay a hand on an officer of the Dragon Soul Department!"
Hua Zhantang had already grasped Stone Sword Edge’s scheme to frame and slander Su Chengyu, so he adamantly insisted on it.
"Saint Envoy, you should rest first. I will personally interrogate this matter and ensure the truth is uncovered. This issue of being a demon cohort is not a minor one- the Dragon Soul Department would never wrong a good person, but we will not let any vile person who dares to affiliate with demons escape."
Stone Sword Edge said righteously.
But Ye Qingci disregarded Stone Sword Edge’s words and turned her gaze to Su Chengyu, asking casually, "What is your side of the story?"
"This Minor Chief Minister has a grudge against me. He humiliated me a few days ago when I was injured. Early this morning, I ran into him and his junior sister while I was having a meal with a friend at a barbecue restaurant. Minor Chief Minister Ma does throw his weight around. He assumed he had the backing of the Dragon Soul Department and wanted to humiliate me publicly again. That’s when we started fighting and I ended up injuring him."
Su Chengyu explained succinctly.
"Then they brought me to the Dragon Soul Department for interrogation, accusing me of attacking an officer of the Dragon Soul Department. Now, they’ve charged me with another crime, conspiring with demons."
Upon hearing Su Chengyu’s words, Hua Zhantang immediately interjected, "Saint Envoy, please discern the truth! This man is insidious and cunning. He is spouting nonsense. I don’t even know him! We can’t trust the words of a demon cohort."
Ye Qingci turned to Stone Sword Edge, "And what do you think?"
