Chapter 447 – Goodbye Shen Qingzhu
Guangzhou-Shenzhen City, the original Squad 010’s residence.
Cao Yuan slowly walked down the stairs, and in the living room, Baili Chubby raised his head and asked with some concern:
”Has Seven Nights woken up?”
”Not yet.” Cao Yuan shook his head, “But there’s nothing serious, he should just be too tired, Jia Lan is accompanying him in his room.”
”Okay ……,” Baili Chubby sat back on the sofa again, fuming with his head down.
Zuo Qing looked up at the time, stood up from the sofa and spoke:
”Since he hasn’t woken up yet, let’s forget about it for now, and wait for me to come back from Shangjing to find him for a good chat.”
”Leaving in such a hurry?” An Qingyu, who was at the side, asked in surprise.
”The headquarters side is still waiting for me to bring Baili Xin back to be tried, even if Baili Xin is dead now, this matter won’t end just like that, the crimes committed about Baili Xin still need to be proven.” Zuo Qing turned his head to look at Miao Su, who was sitting alone in the living room in a daze, and continued:
”With Miao Su as a witness, the process of the trial should be smoother, at least for the ‘bribery’ and ‘murder’ offenses he can’t hide.”
A few hours ago, just as Zuo Qing was investigating the scene, he found Miao Su who was mesmerized in the corner, and after Miao Su woke up, he told all about the Baili Group and Squad 010, becoming one of the key witnesses in this case.
”Miao Su, we should go.” He shouted.
Miao Su, who was staring at the wall filled with red wine in a daze, returned to her senses, hmmmed, and slowly walked out from the living room, her eyes slightly reddened.
She walked to Baili Chubby’s side, and after hesitating for a moment, she still looked into his eyes and said, “Little Tu Ming, don’t worry, I will definitely give you justice.”
”Sister Miao Su ……,” Baili Chubby looked at the haggard face, and a burst of sourness flooded his heart, “Thank you.”
”There is another important thing.”
Zuo Qing looked like he remembered something, his expression gradually became serious.
”I hope you guys are psychologically prepared …….”
”Mental preparation?” Cao Yuan was a bit puzzled, “Why?”
”Even if everything goes smoothly with the process of trying Baili Xin, and all of his charges are realized, what you guys have done is still against the principles of the Night’s Watch.” Zuo Qing spoke solemnly, “Seeing as you are my subordinates, I will try my best to suppress some things for you, such as seriously injuring Bailixin, releasing ultra-highly dangerous evil creatures, and having the audacity to attack me, the head of the Special Operations Division ……”
When he said the last sentence, he glared fiercely at Chubby Baili, who immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.
”But there are some things that can’t be suppressed, such as the fact that you caused havoc in the Baili family in front of a large number of ordinary people, destroyed an entire floor, killed twelve forbidden ambassadors, and most crucially, you killed Baili Jing, who himself wasn’t too much involved in this case ……
Regardless of whether it was compiling information or murdering Baili Tu Ming, everything was manipulated by Baili Xin, so Baili Jing did not make any mistakes legally speaking, he was just an ordinary person.
I know that sentimentally speaking, he really deserved to die, but not everything can be measured in terms of sentiment, this is something that you guys should be clear about.”
Baili Chubby and Cao Yuan were dumbfounded.
”So, what kind of punishment will we receive?” An Qingyu slowly spoke.
”Your punishment, it’s not up to me, it’s decided by the headquarters, I can only try my best to help you mitigate …… but, you’d better be ready to lose your qualifications to become the fifth special squad.”
Zuo Qing’s voice fell, and the entire living room fell into a dead silence.
Lose the qualification to become a special squad? ……
Sitting on the sofa, Baili Fatty lowered his head, his hands clenched tightly, intense self-blame and guilt filled his mind and soul, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
A palm rested on his shoulder and gently patted it.
Cao Yuan stood behind the sofa and slowly spoke, “This possibility, how big is it?”
”Objectively speaking, the possibility is high.” Zuo Qing let out a long sigh, “The so-called reserve team is the special squad candidates that are in the observation period, the focus is on the word ‘observation’, we will assess whether you have the qualifications to become the fifth special squad through your performance during this period of time, and your heart and code of conduct. are likewise one of the important criteria for the assessment.
The special squad is too important to the Night’s Watch, if the higher-ups think that your character is not enough to bear the name of the special squad, they will naturally disqualify you, after all, no one would want to see a special squad that goes against the principles of the Night’s Watch appear.”
Cao Yuan was silent for a moment and took a deep breath, “Alright, we understand.”
”Before the final verdict from the headquarters comes out, all your missions are canceled, when the result comes out from there, I will come back to inform you, during this period, you are forbidden to leave the boundaries of Guangshen City, is that clear?” Zuo Qing said seriously.
”Understood.”
Zuo Qing nodded and turned around with Miao Su and walked out of the villa.
In the middle of the quiet living room, Baili Chubby looked up at Cao Yuan and An Qingyu and opened his mouth somewhat hoarsely, “I’m sorry ……”
”There’s nothing to be sorry for, you’re the victim.” Cao Yuan opened his mouth to comfort, “Since we drew our swords at the meeting place, we were already prepared to give up everything.”
”But it was so hard for us to get this far ……” Baili Chubby spoke in a daze, “Becoming a special squad is clearly close at hand… …”
”Actually, being a special squad or not, it’s not that important to me.” Cao Yuan shrugged.
”What about Seven Nights? He’s the one who’s going to be the special squad leader ……”
”Do you think he cares?” Cao Yuan interrupted.
”…… “Baili Chubby hesitated for a moment, “It seems like, indeed, he doesn’t care very much ……That Garland… …”
”Do you think she knows what a special squad is?”
”…… Na Qingyu.”
”I think it’s still Seven Nights that appeals to me more.” Anqingyu pushed up her glasses, “Why don’t you guys find a chance to mesmerize him so I can dissect him?”
”……”
A bitter smile surfaced at the corner of Baili Chubby’s mouth, “You guys are really ……”
”Let’s not talk about this, it’s time for you to change your clothes.” Cao Yuan patted his shoulder.
”Change clothes?” Baili Chubby froze, “Change clothes for what?”
Cao Yuan’s eyebrows raised as he reached out and pointed at the wall clock, slowly speaking, “Have you forgotten that today, Guang Shen, there is someone waiting for you?”
Hearing these words, Baili Chubby’s entire body froze in place, his mind floated back to the hospital bed in Gusu, the promise he made with her ……
The memory was so clear, yet so distant, as if it was a lifetime ago.
”I ……”
Baili Chubby lowered his head, the polished tiles clearly reflected his face, he gazed at himself for a long time and slowly closed his eyes.
