False Court
Chapter 113 Justification
Zhao Han replied calmly.
“Zhao Han, it's not that we don't believe you, but don't you think this is too absurd? If you didn't plan it, how could you have timed it so perfectly, choosing to strike when the battle was at its most intense? And if it wasn't planned, why would your group send so many people to attack? To take that ship? We're all in the same legion. We don't want to fall out and make things awkward for everyone. As long as you admit your mistake, we won't pursue it too harshly.”
Zhou Jing questioned without holding back.
“Hold on! Who told you we sent a lot of people? And that it was premeditated? I can tell you, it was a coincidence, whether you believe it or not. Lin Zinuo and the others were on a weapons transport mission when something went wrong. They even relayed important information because of it, which you also know. Later, that armory was completely overrun by monsters. They were fleeing all the way, and ended up stumbling into the Crimson Coral Bay base by accident. And at that time, they only had fifteen people left. There weren't as many as you say. Don't make false accusations.”
Zhao Han vehemently denied.
At this moment, Vice Legion Commander Tang Yao revealed a charming smile and said with a laugh, “Little Zhao Han, you're making a big joke. How could a dozen people attack the base? Even with our assistance, you wouldn't have been able to break in without sending an elite team from your group.”
She was joking. They had fought so hard, risking their lives, and it was still so difficult to attack. A dozen people broke in? That's too ridiculous.
If it were true, wouldn't it be a slap in the face, proving they were all useless?
“That's right!”
The other group leaders present also found it amusing.
Even Qian Chengxue's expression became unusually serious. She asked,
“Zhao Han, are you kidding? A dozen people broke in?”
“Sister Xue, I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, Lin Zinuo is waiting in the lounge. You can have her tell you.”
Zhao Han said with conviction.
“Bring Lin Zinuo here.”
Qian Chengxue responded immediately. This was no joke. She had personally led the attack on the Crimson Coral Bay base. She knew better than anyone how strong the monsters inside were.
A dozen people were able to attack from the rear. If it were true, how strong would they have to be?
Actually, she was still skeptical, but seeing Zhao Han so confident, she was starting to waver.
“Okay!”
Zhao Han picked up her phone and sent Lin Zinuo a message.
Not long after, the conference room door was pushed open, and a guilty-looking Lin Zinuo walked in. She greeted Sister Xue,
“Hello, Sister Xue.”
“Mm, Lin Zinuo, I'm going to ask you some questions. Answer truthfully.”
Qian Chengxue said to Lin Zinuo with a serious expression.
“Sister Xue, ask away. I'll definitely answer truthfully.”
Lin Zinuo was a little nervous. She kept telling herself to relax as much as possible and not to mess up at the crucial moment.
“You really didn't know we were exploring the Crimson Coral Bay base? It was all a coincidence? And you really only had a dozen people when you attacked White Crane Harbor?”
Qian Chengxue stared at Lin Zinuo.
“I swear I really didn't know. It was all a coincidence. We were running for our lives at the time, like headless flies, completely lost. As for attacking that base, there were indeed only a dozen of us. When we set out, we had sixty people, and along the way, that's all that was left."
Lin Zinuo explained.
“That's ridiculous. We don't believe it.”
Sun Li still didn't believe it. It was simply too absurd.
“If you don't believe me, I have a full recording!”
Lin Zinuo suddenly said, thinking of something.
Hearing this, Qian Chengxue immediately said, “Project it!”
“Okay, I'll do it now!”
Lin Zinuo took out a USB drive from her pocket and skillfully plugged it into the designated device.
Soon, a holographic image appeared. It was clear that the image's perspective was based on Lin Zinuo's point of view.
On an old ship, Lin Zinuo and the others were using ropes to lower a rubber dinghy. Then, a dozen of them climbed down, and nearly half of those dozen were lifestyle players.
Sun Li and the others' expressions were a little strained. If this was true, it would really be a slap in the face.
Everyone watched the image intently, not daring to breathe.
The image was slightly sped up.
Soon after, they saw Su Mo take the lead and jump into the sea, leading them towards the shore. When faced with the densely packed monsters guarding the coast, Su Mo led Lin Zinuo and the others as if dancing on the tip of a knife, infiltrating with narrow escapes.
They first went to the armory to get weapons, and then went to the supplies depot.
Next, Su Mo left alone to go to the hangar.
Soon after, they saw Su Mo piloting a mecha, charging out and killing everything in the base, alarming countless monsters and attracting the Type II commander-level Kazami on the dock.
Through the image, they could see Su Mo surrounded by countless monsters, but without a trace of fear, constantly charging in and out, like a god of slaughter.
Everyone watched in stunned silence.
Then, Lin Zinuo and the others took the opportunity to rush towards the dock.
…
After a long while, the video that Lin Zinuo brought was finished, and the entire office was silent.
Lin Zinuo said triumphantly, “How about it? I didn't lie, did I? We were the only dozen people who broke in. And the fog was so thick, and you didn't attack, how would we know who was attacking the base..."
Zhao Han, seeing Lin Zinuo getting more and more excited, not only poking at everyone's wounds, but also making Sun Li and the others' faces extremely ugly.
She quickly kicked Zhao Han, signaling her that it was enough, and not to degrade them to death.
Lin Zinuo immediately came back to her senses, coughed, and said,
“Sister Xue, this should prove it, right?”
Qian Chengxue's clear, cold eyes flashed with a special light. She asked, “Who's the one piloting the mecha? How is their technique so good?”
However, there was one thing that made Qian Chengxue very puzzled. Although the operating skills were very good, the movements seemed to be very large. Logically speaking, this kind of novice-level error shouldn't occur.
“Oh, his name is Su Mo.”
Lin Zinuo said straightforwardly.
“Isn't that the Team Wipe Engine from last time?”
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.
Qian Chengxue thought for a moment. The name was a bit unfamiliar. She knew a little about the Team Wipe Engine incident, but she was too busy with the exploration and didn't pay much attention to it. As for this person, she had met him once, just last night in the elevator.
