Chapter 200. Jiang Feng Is Arrested and Sentenced to Five Years in Prison
“Jiang Feng, you…”
Listening to Director He’s words, Chu Xingchen’s eyes trembled slightly as he looked at Jiang Feng in disbelief.
Tang Long and Su Linyu also found it inconceivable.
They had never expected that the SS-Rank Beast Tide had actually been planned by Zhou Yu and Jiang Feng together.
One had to know that if Jiang Yichen had not blocked the SS-Rank Beast Tide, no one knew how many soldiers would have died along the entire East China border.
Rift Valley Town would also have become a sea of blood.
That did not even include the casualties after the border was broken through by the beast tide. That would have been a catastrophe.
Yet such a disaster had actually come from Huaxia’s own people.
Tang Long and Su Linyu stared at Jiang Feng with somewhat angry expressions, as though they were judging a criminal guilty of the most heinous crimes.
Jiang Yichen, however, narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling very surprised.
After resolving the beast tide, he had also tried to find evidence of Zhou Yu triggering the beast tide.
However, Zhou Yu had handled everything very cleanly and had not left behind any clues at all.
There was absolutely no way the Law Enforcement Bureau could have found anything unless Jiang Feng had turned himself in…
Connecting it to Jiang Feng’s abnormal behavior after being targeted by the assassins Zhou Yu had sent, Jiang Yichen became increasingly certain of his own guess.
What he could not understand was that Jiang Feng was not stupid. Mutual destruction with Zhou Yu brought him no benefit at all. Instead, it would only bring him imprisonment.
As long as the two of them kept the secret, the Law Enforcement Bureau would not be able to investigate anything, and both of them could remain safe.
Jiang Yichen looked at Jiang Feng with doubt in his eyes.
“That is right. I was never some great person to begin with. My heart only held some sinister little cleverness.”
Jiang Feng looked at Chu Xingchen and smiled. “Man, continue walking forward for the justice in your heart. I will not accompany you.”
His gaze swept over Jiang Yichen and the other three, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
In the end, he sighed, lowered his head, turned around, and left.
Jiang Yichen and the other three watched as Jiang Feng was taken away by the law enforcers, gradually disappearing from their sight.
Only then did Qin Feng slowly walk into the ward from outside the door and explain, “Jiang Feng turned himself in. He handed over evidence that Zhou Yu triggered the beast tide. From now on, Group One will only have the four of you.”
“If he had not turned himself in, the Law Enforcement Bureau’s investigation into the beast tide would still be deadlocked.”
“The assassination during this exercise was carried out because Zhou Yu wanted to prevent the beast tide incident from being exposed, so he sent assassins to kill Jiang Feng.”
Hm?
He turned himself in!
Tang Long and Su Linyu, who had originally been angry, were both stunned when they heard this.
They had originally thought that Jiang Feng had been discovered through the Law Enforcement Bureau’s investigation. They had never imagined that Jiang Feng would take the initiative to turn himself in.
Disbelief appeared in Su Linyu’s eyes.
In her impression, Jiang Feng was a petty person who liked to play dirty tricks. During their four years at university, he had often tripped up Brother Yichen.
If she had not beaten him up a few times, Jiang Feng would have been even more arrogant.
It was very difficult to imagine that someone like him would voluntarily turn himself in and bear the punishment of imprisonment.
“Jiang Feng…” A look of shame appeared on Tang Long’s face.
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. Perhaps this was the duality of human nature.
The only person who could make Jiang Feng make such a decision was probably…
He looked toward Chu Xingchen on the hospital bed. The latter forced himself to get out of bed.
“Old Chu, what are you doing? Your body is still weak right now. Lie down and rest,” Tang Long hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Chu Xingchen shook his head and looked down at the Spatial Bag Jiang Feng had given him. “I will go see him off.”
He knew that Jiang Feng was a criminal. Helping Zhou Yu trigger a beast tide that endangered East China was indeed not worthy of sympathy.
But from the standpoint of personal feelings, Jiang Feng had once saved his life. Even if Chu Xingchen had repaid him, the bond still remained.
Ignoring Tang Long’s attempts to stop him, Chu Xingchen dragged his weak body out of the ward.
Qin Feng, Jiang Yichen, and the others followed behind him.
At the last moment before Jiang Feng boarded the helicopter, Chu Xingchen caught up.
“Jiang Feng!”
The strong wind from the helicopter’s rotors made Jiang Feng’s tie whip about wildly, and his ears were filled with noise.
Yet the moment Chu Xingchen called his name, Jiang Feng stopped and slowly turned his head.
Chu Xingchen and Jiang Feng looked at each other in the fierce wind. The sunset fell on Chu Xingchen, while the shadow beneath the helicopter enveloped Jiang Feng.
The contrast between light and darkness was especially clear at that moment.
“Thank you!”
Chu Xingchen did not say much. He merely held up the Spatial Bag Jiang Feng had given him and revealed a smile.
Jiang Feng’s eyes trembled slightly. The corners of his mouth lifted faintly, and he turned around and walked into the helicopter.
RUMBLE—
The helicopter rose into the air and gradually disappeared beneath the sunset.
Chu Xingchen slowly lowered his hand. He gazed at the horizon for a long time before finally coming back to his senses.
“Instructor Qin, what kind of punishment will Jiang Feng receive?”
Qin Feng thought for a while. “Since he stopped the crime midway and turned himself in, he can receive a lighter sentence. If the lawyer he hires is professional, he will probably receive a fixed-term sentence of five years.”
Five years.
Chu Xingchen sighed, put away the Spatial Bag Jiang Feng had given him, and walked back toward the military district hospital without saying anything.
Qin Feng shook his head slightly and walked over to Jiang Yichen.
“Jiang Yichen, I will give all of you one day off. Adjust your mental state.”
“The day after tomorrow, your next training location will no longer be in the military district.”
Jiang Yichen slowly came back to himself. “Not in the military district? Then where are we going?”
“The Divine Battle Division,” Qin Feng said solemnly. “Your Recruit Assessment is to enter the Guankou Ruins, which are about to open. The Divine Battle Division will cooperate with your operation.”
?
When Jiang Yichen heard that, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Good grief. He finally understood why Mei Xue’er had said they would meet again. So she had been waiting for him here.
The Guankou Ruins. He remembered that when these ruins opened in his previous life, he had heard the squad leader from the Corpse-Carrying Camp say that large numbers of foreign martial artists had appeared at the border.
As for the specific situation, he had only been an ordinary soldier at the time and did not have the authority to learn about such things.
However, Medusa had said that ruins were prepared by gods for their resurrection. In that case, what the Guankou Ruins corresponded to was “Erlang Shen” from Huaxia mythology!
“Huh? The Recruit Assessment is to enter ruins? Instructor Qin, you are not joking, are you?” Tang Long asked in disbelief.
Were ruins something new recruits could enter?
The inside of ruins was full of danger, and they were still new recruits!
Qin Feng said with complete calm, “Of course I am not joking. I believe in your strength.”
“Moreover, an ordinary Recruit Assessment no longer puts any pressure on you. I have to give you some pressure.”
As Tang Long listened, he laughed. Were those even human words?
Jiang Yichen was also somewhat speechless. It had originally been a Recruit Assessment they could easily pass, yet Qin Feng just had to cause trouble.
Just as he was complaining inwardly, the system’s voice rang out as well.
【Ding! Slacking Choice triggered…】
