Simo looked at Su Ming in astonishment.
"Handle the interrogation as you should. I have only one request, which is a fair and just trial."
Su Ming turned his head to look at Simo and said.
Lin Chuyu is highly suspicious. If he uses his power to have Simo release her, it would indeed feel good.
But later, it would lead to gossip, and if someone targeted him, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, Lin Chuyu must undergo the full scrutiny of the Night Owl Department and go through all procedures for release, only then it will be trouble-free in the future.
"Uh, okay."
Simo was stunned upon hearing this, but soon responded back.
"Hmm, go and bring two dinners here."
Su Ming pulled a chair and sat directly opposite Lin Chuyu, then spoke.
"Okay, right away!"
Simo immediately responded.
Not long after, Baiten came over with two boxed meals, placing them in front of Su Ming, saying.
"Lord Su Ming, thereâs nothing much to eat at this late hour, only the staffâs boxed meals."
"Hmm, Chuyu, have some."
Su Ming didnât mind, directly unwrapping the meal and handing one to Lin Chuyu.
"Okay!"
Lin Chuyu nodded and accepted the meal.
The two sat facing each other for the meal.
Simo and others awkwardly stood by; itâs inappropriate whether they stay or leave.
After a few bites, Lin Chuyu looked somewhat downcast and said to Su Ming.
"Sorry, this matter has troubled you."
"No trouble at all. Actually, Iâm here to transport supplies to the Abyss of Descent and happened to stop by, coincidentally learning about this from Tiger."
Su Ming replied while eating.
"Hmm."
Lin Chuyu nodded.
"By the way, how much do you know about An Ruoxueâs matter?"
Su Ming calmly asked.
"I really donât know, and she didnât do anything."
Lin Chuyu shook her head in response.
"I understand. Actually, I also feel that An Ruoxue is quite nice, not like someone who would do such a thing! However, the fact that she is from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country probably canât be escaped."
Su Ming calmly said to Lin Chuyu.
Though Su Ming believed An Ruoxue wasnât that kind of person, her identity was confirmed; otherwise, the Night Owl Department wouldnât act this way.
"I understand."
Lin Chuyu nodded.
"*Sigh*, I didnât expect us to meet again under such circumstances."
Su Ming said with some emotion.
Hearing Su Mingâs words, Lin Chuyuâs expression became even more mournful, and she could only eat silently.
Not long after, the two finished their meals cleanly.
Su Ming said to Lin Chuyu.
"Itâs late, I should go now! Of course, donât worry. Stay here comfortably for the investigation; I believe youâll be out soon."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Lin Chuyu replied with a slight smile.
Su Ming then stood up and left the interrogation room, with Simo and others hastily following outside.
"This way, my lord!"
Simo diligently led Su Ming towards the exit.
However, as they reached the elevator to leave, Su Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Simoâs heart skipped a beat, pondering internally.
"Uh-oh, this guy isnât going to change his mind, is he?"
Despite his internal complaints, Simo still asked with a smile.
"Whatâs the matter, my lord?"
"Simo, I have just one thing to say: when you are investigating Lin Chuyu, ensure fairness and justice, and donât resort to underhanded methods. If I find out youâve messed around, you know the consequences."
Su Ming warned Simo very seriously.
"Rest assured, my lord! Leave it to me; if anything goes wrong, just come to me."
Simo hurriedly assured.
"It better be that way."
After saying this, Su Ming stepped into the elevator.
"Take care, my lord!"
Simo respectfully bowed to Su Ming.
The elevator doors slowly closed.
"Phew~"
Simo and Baiten breathed a collective sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this troublemaker.
At this moment, Ye Yan and Ao Zhen whispered angrily.
"I said Lin Chuyu isnât a proper officer, relying on her looks to latch onto someone powerful."
"Exactly!"
...
At this time, the smile on Simoâs face gradually faded, replaced by a fierce grimace. The pent-up frustration and anger in his heart were suddenly ignited.
He viciously turned his head and shouted at Ye Yan and Ao Zhen.
"Shut up, you two love gossiping behind othersâ backs, donât you? Baiten, sew their mouths shut, inject them with nutrients, and donât let them speak for ten days! If they donât learn their lesson, peel their skins off!"
"Yes!"
Baiten immediately responded.
"Supervisor, no!"
Ye Yan and Ao Zhen cried out in terror.
But it was useless; Baiten and others took the two away directly.
"Two stupid donkeys!"
Simo cursed as he watched the two being taken away, then turned to leave.
...
-------------------------------------------
Four days later.
Meteor Light central control room.
Su Ming sat in the command chair.
Onite served sliced fruits, pastries, and coffee, said diligently.
"Lord Su Ming, this is the afternoon tea I specially prepared for you."
"Thanks."
Su Ming didnât stand on ceremony with Onite.
On the side, Rhein and others were stunned watching this scene; they finally realized what a servile flatterer looks like.
This guy really knows how to brownnose, changing tricks every day to fawn over the boss.
The key is they canât say anything about it, and even if they look down on this guy, it doesnât matter; his face is truly thicker than a city wall.
At this moment, the image of Lieutenant Colonel Dan Sang connected through, he saluted Su Ming.
