Silencing the Witnesses

Chapter 740: Silencing the Witnesses

While Deng Zixing was getting slapped, Shao Lingyun and Li Yan waited outside the interrogation puppet.

One Inspectorate officer had questioned Li Yan before and was about to greet him, but then he noticed that Li Yan seemed different.

Li Yan had once been a timid ordinary man who had not even dared to meet his eyes.

Now Li Yan was quiet and composed, yet an unmistakable sharpness radiated from him, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

It had only been a few days—

What on earth had he been through?

And Shao Lingyun beside him was no ordinary man either.

The officer could tell Shao Lingyun was probably a Demonic Cultivator, yet his bearing and expression carried an air of detachment.

The officers should have questioned and arrested him. But the moment they saw him, they sensed the bearing of someone important. He acted so naturally that none of them dared approach, and the best moment to intervene slipped away.

No one else was supposed to be here, either. But the two men sat outside the puppet so comfortably that the officers forgot to ask them to leave.

Before long, footsteps sounded outside. The tall district chief hurried over, ducked beneath the doorframe, and entered the room.

The officer at the door moved to stop her, but she turned and seized his chin.

Covered in blood, the district chief stared coldly at him. Her pale pink lips formed even colder words. "I killed seven fools who got in my way on the way here. Want to be the eighth?"

"...Please, go in."

She released him and strode toward Shao Lingyun and Li Yan. "I only just heard," she said anxiously. "I didn't know the Inspectorate had taken President Chen. Do you know why?"
