Chapter 1285.

“Major Wang Dust ……”

After understanding what happened, Xu Zhen apologized, “I can assure you that Professor Dawson’s loyalty to the Empire is not in question, and there’s no way he’s a spy for the Alliance, he’s just too eager in his research.”

“I apologize on behalf of the Institute for having offended you!”

Wang Dust’s accusation against Dawson was too serious, so serious that it was difficult for even Xu Zhen to bear.

The Holy Light Research Institute was one of the highest scientific research organizations in the empire, and a large portion of the projects involved were in the military field, so once there was a leak, the consequences were unimaginable.

And every staff member in the institute, including expert professors and researchers, had gone through layers of screening and loyalty tests, and were under tight surveillance.

Xu Zhen had also known Professor Dawson for decades, and knew that although the latter’s character wasn’t very good, he had no problem with his personal abilities, and had absolutely no reason to betray the Empire.

Therefore, even though she was very disgusted with the other party engaging in this kind of action, she did her best to defend her colleague.

After all, one hundred percent pure scientists did not exist!

“President Xu, I think I need a reasonable explanation.”

And in response to Xu Zhen’s euphemistic defense, Wang Dust said in a deep voice, “I have great respect for the authority of the Holy Light Institute and its contribution to the Empire, but the Institute also needs to respect my personality and life!”

“Regardless of whether Professor Dawson is an Alliance spy or not, what he did seriously threatened my safety, so I no longer trust the Holy Light Institute and will not continue to cooperate with the experimental work.”

Speechless, Xu Zhen twisted his head and glared at the pale-faced Dawson with angry eyes – look what you’ve done!

Dawson instinctively tried to weasel his way out of the situation, but it turned out that it was as if a huge rag had been stuffed in his throat, and he couldn’t speak at all.

Wang Dust coldly smiled, “It seems that Professor Dawson has nothing to say, so that’s it then.”

“I’m sorry.”

Xu Zhen apologized again, “That’s all for today, I’ll have Captain Shia send you back to rest.”

After a pause, this Vice President of the Holy Light Research Institute said decisively, “I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!”

“I’ll wait and see.”

Wang Dust nodded, then left the lab.

His figure had just disappeared in the doorway, and Professor Dawson fell to the ground disheveledly like an old dog whose spine had been drawn out, panting heavily, with beads of sweat sprouting from his forehead.

No one knew how much pressure he had just endured, literally suffocating!

But even though Professor Dawson’s appearance at this moment was wretched and pitiful, Xu Zhen didn’t have the slightest intention to sympathize: “Dawson, I want to hear your explanation now.”

“What I need to know is the truth, please don’t try to insult the intelligence to deceive me.”

“If you do, the consequences will definitely be more severe than you can imagine!”

Professor Dawson had countless excuses in his mind, including throwing the pot on Wang Chen’s back, but the ones he could come up with would be absolutely self-defeating if he used them to fool Xu Zhen.

The institute professor squeaked and froze, but did not come up with a complete explanation.

Where did Xu Zhen not understand that the other party really had a ghost in his heart, she waved her hand in disappointment, “Forget it, you don’t need to explain, let’s leave this matter to the Security Bureau to investigate.”

“No!”

Dawson instantly panicked and hurriedly shouted, “It’s Xu ……”

Bang!

Before this professor could finish his words, a powerful fist ferociously and accurately bombarded his temple.

The one who struck out was clearly none other than an A-class warjack!

Prof. Dawson was just an ordinary person, how could he withstand such a severe attack, only to hear a “click” sound, his head suddenly tilted over, his neck snapped on the spot.

The guards of the institute were all unprepared, but they raised their guns as fast as they could and aimed at the A-class warrior who had struck.

Xu Zhen took a step back, his face turning ugly.

This A-class Battle Occupant who had killed Professor Dawson was a senior security officer of the Institute, specially deployed to help Professor Dawson for this experimental mission.

Who would have thought that the other party would actually kill and exterminate him at the most critical moment!

And this A-class battle occupant, facing the black hole of the gun, did not make any move to resist, but instead revealed a bizarre and incomparable smile, and black blood seeped out of his mouth, eyes, ears and nose at the same time.

Surprisingly, he followed the suicide.

Now that all of them were shocked to the point that the escorts around Xu Zhen aimed their guns at another senior security.

The other party was also an A-ranked battle jobber.

And this one raised his hands and smiled bitterly, “I surrender, I don’t know anything, I’m just following orders.”

“Arrest him first.”

Xu Zhen said in a deep voice, “Hand it over to the Security Bureau for investigation.”

This matter was far beyond what she could handle, and the water was so deep that it could drown thousands of people!

Xu Zhen suddenly felt intense regret.

Had she known this, she shouldn’t have invited Wang Duan to come to the Institute to do experiments and create such a huge fiasco.

As the protagonist of the whole incident, Wang Dust, on the other hand, returned to his residence accompanied by Captain Shia.

For the next few days, Wang Dust stayed at home waiting for the results of the matter and the subsequent arrangements for himself.

The strange thing about Wang Chuan was that no one came to ask him questions for five days in a row, as if he had already been forgotten.

Only Captain Shia would routinely come over to say hello on time every day.

Wang Chen did not know that this incident that happened in the laboratory of the research institute against himself had caused much shock in the upper echelons of the empire, especially since the result of Prof. Dawson’s murder and extermination was known even to His Majesty the Emperor.

The Imperial Security Bureau had thus launched a full-scale investigation, and the reason why no one had come looking for him for the time being was actually very complicated.

It wasn’t until the morning of the sixth day that Wang Chen met the chief officer of the Imperial Security Bureau, Gu Yanchang, again in his dormitory.

This senior officer of the Security Bureau didn’t look too good, and handed Wang Dust a classified document as soon as they met: “Major Wang Dust, this is the preliminary result of the investigation of Professor Dawson’s incident, do you have anything to add?”

Wang Dust took it and looked it over, a bit surprised, “Dawson is dead?”

Gu Yanchang nodded silently.

Just yesterday, as the chief officer of the Imperial Security Bureau, he was called over by His Majesty the Emperor to reprimand him face to face.

Although the Holy Light Emperor did not give a punishment, Gu Yanchang was very clear that the position under his ass was shaky and could be jerked away at any time!

This was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster for him.

“I understand.”

Wang Dust nodded, “I don’t have anything to add.”

In fact, this investigation result was summarized in just a few sentences, Professor Dawson had taken it upon himself to violate the Institute’s rules and was killed by a senior security officer whose reasoning had gone out of control, and the latter had killed himself in fear of the crime.

Such a result would only fool a small child, but anyone with a bit of intelligence wouldn’t believe that it was so simple.

However, the attitude of the Empire’s senior management to trivialize the matter could not be more obvious.

Wang dust also have nothing to say.

Obviously, if you want to catch the real behind-the-scenes instructor, you can only rely on his own strength!

Wang Chen was in no hurry and had no intention of confronting the powers that be in the empire.
