A deathly silence filled the place.
Zhu Linwei's corpse lay in a gruesome heap at Lin Shuguang's feet.
As everyone watched Lin Shuguang approach, they instinctively took a step back.
Unlike the Special Management Bureau, few people in the Special Law Department had ever taken part in frontline missions. They mostly handled interdepartmental investigations, so the visceral shock of Zhu Linwei's corpse felt utterly unfamiliar and unnerving to them.
The Department Head of the Special Law Department could hardly be called angry. He merely looked at Zhu Linwei's corpse and opened his mouth, feeling rather at a loss.
Before the duel, he had never been able to understand what gave Lin Shuguang and Qi Lin such confidence, or why they had insisted so firmly on a fight to the death.
At first, he had thought Lin Shuguang wanted to scare Zhu Linwei into backing down.
But now, judging by his strength, Lin Shuguang had no need for such petty schemes.
Only...
The Department Head of the Special Law Department looked at Lin Shuguang, his expression unreadable. "This matter ends here." Then he said to Qi Lin, "I won't see you out."
Lin Shuguang, however, looked at him expressionlessly. "I cooperated with you, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully."
With that, he left with Qi Lin.
The Department Head of the Special Law Department stood silently where he was. This time, he had only brought trouble upon himself.
"Department Head, what about Zhu Linwei?" someone beside him asked cautiously.
He waved a hand. "Take care of it. Inform the Zhu Family and tell them exactly what happened. As far as our Special Law Department is concerned, this matter ends here."
With that, he turned and left without another glance at Zhu Linwei's corpse.
At the main entrance.
