In fact, Wei Yenwu had been eavesdropping on everything that happened in that conference room.

This naturally includes the dialogue in which Talulah agrees to the conditions set by the various company representatives.

After listening to that conversation, Wei Yenwu felt that these company representatives had no reason to persecute Talulah, nor was there any need for them to do Talulah.

After all, the conditions were all agreed upon by Talulah; no one forced her.

All of this can be proven by the recordings.

Why did Talulah fall from the building? Who caused Talulah to fall? And who benefited from Talulah's fall?

It's all a mystery.

It seemed as if some unseen entity had laid a trap for Lungmen.

"Why... are you speaking up for them?" Chen Huijie asked, her face filled with shock.

She couldn't understand why Wei Yenwu would defend the main suspect when Talulah in grave danger.

This cold-blooded guy doesn't care about his family at all, unlike what Talulah said.

In his eyes, there were never any relatives or friends.

After the initial shock came anger.

Chen Huijie gritted her teeth and glared at Wei Yenwu, her eyes blazing with fury:

"Why? Why are you speaking up for them?"

You couldn't protect Talulah before, are you going to protect the murderer who killed her now?

Wei Yenwu froze, stared at by Chen Huijie's resentful gaze, and after a moment pursed his lips:

"Chen Huijie, don't be impulsive. You need to be based on evidence. There's no evidence yet to prove that they harmed Talulah."

The business representatives nodded in agreement upon hearing that Governor Wei was reasonable.

"Yes, how could we possibly harm her?"

"Did she really jump off the building herself?"

"Yes, the staff at the Governor's Office can testify to that."

"We're all smart people, who would do something like that?"

Chen Huijie sneered upon hearing this; she wouldn't believe their nonsense.

She will investigate the truth herself.

No matter who is Black Hand this, she will make them pay a hundredfold in blood.

Just then, the lights in the emergency room went out.

The doctor walked out of the emergency room and shook his head regretfully:

"We have used every means to save the patient, but the victim's skull is fractured, and the neurotoxin poisoning he suffered before death has severely impaired his normal bodily functions."

"So unfortunately, the patient has died."

Dead!

Talulah is dead!

Chen Huijie's face was deathly pale, and her mind was buzzing.

I want to think, but my mind is like a stagnant pool, devoid of any flow.

Clatter

A tear slid down her cheek without warning, leaving a faint tear trail on her dazed face.

Chen Huijie rarely sheds tears, and since becoming a police officer in the Lungmen Guard Department, she has never cried.

Seeing Chen Huijie in tears only worsened Wei Yenwu's already distressed mood.

"You..."

Wei Yenwu wanted to comfort Chen Huijie, but he only pretended to be calm; his emotions had long since flown off into the distance.

He stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

Why is this happening? Why?

Chen Huijie stood up, like a walking corpse, and started walking aimlessly while leaning against the wall.

When Chen Huijie regained her senses, it was already two days later in the morning.

The first thing Chen Huijie did after regaining her senses was to have the Special Inspection Group illegally take the Governor's Office's staff hostage.

After bringing the Governor's Office's Office staff to the palace, Chen Huijie also mobilized all the interrogation experts from the Lungmen Guard Department.

They came to monitor and analyze the situation to confirm whether the staff were lying.

Inside the interrogation room.

"I'm asking you, what exactly happened at the Governor's Office a few nights ago?"

Chen Huijie looked at the staff of the Governor's Office expressionlessly and asked in a tone devoid of any emotion.

The staff member played by Luo Chen had just finished being investigated and questioned by the Governor's Office.

He was then arrested and taken to the Lungmen Guard Department, keeping him extremely busy.

However, seeing Commander Chen's utterly despondent expression, Luo Chen felt that all the hard work of the past few days had been worthwhile.

Commander Chen has gradually calmed down from his impulsive and easily angered personality.

It won't be long before he becomes a ruthless law enforcement machine, wholeheartedly fighting for justice for the people of Lungmen.

Overjoyed and trembling, Luo Chen told Chen Huijie everything that had happened the previous night.

"After you and Chief Talulah parted ways, Chief Talulah became unusually excited."

"Not only did they readily agree to the conditions offered by the company representatives, but they even went so far as to raise their demands, as if they had completely lost their minds."

"I don't know how Chief Talulah became like that, but I'm just an ordinary clerk, so naturally I don't dare to ask."

Luo Chen's tone was filled with doubt; he couldn't understand why Talulah would do that.

However, upon hearing these words, Chen Huijie already knew the answer in her heart.

It must have been those company representatives who secretly injected Talulah with a nerve agent after she left, causing her to lose her mind and become so accommodating to their every request.

Luo Chen continued speaking:

"After everyone had signed the agreement, Chief Talulah inexplicably ran to the balcony."

"I don't know what happened after that. When the representatives invited us to the balcony, we found that Chief Talulah had already fallen downstairs."

"Then those company representatives asked me to testify that they didn't push Talulah down, but that Talulah jumped down on her own."

This must be because those company representatives are feeling guilty and are deliberately having others prove that it has nothing to do with them.

This precisely proves that they did it.

Chen Huijie had her answer again.

Is she telling the truth?

Chen Huijie took a deep breath, barely suppressing her anger, and turned to look at the expert team behind her.

All the interrogation experts from the Lungmen Guard Department, as well as the master of detecting lies, were present.

If they prove that the testimonies of the Governor's Office's Office staff were not false, then their suspicions will be proven correct.

The experts from the Lungmen Guard Department exchanged glances and looked at each other.

Then the answer was given at the same time:

"Sir, she wasn't lying."

"All her micro-expressions showed that she was telling the truth."

"Her heartbeat was also very steady despite the tension; it was definitely true."

"That's right."

Having confirmed her answer, Chen Huijie asked the Governor's Office's Office staff another question:

"Have you told the governor about these statements? Has he reacted?"

Luo Chen replied slowly, word by word, "I told him, but Governor Wei didn't react at all."

"He only told me not to spread this matter before the investigation results were released, and to be careful about the impact."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huijie was completely disappointed in Wei Yenwu.

At a time like this, he's still concerned about the consequences.

Even though the murderer was right in front of him, he was still able to sit still.

I was right about Wei Yenwu; he is an absolute coward.

Since you, Wei Yenwu, dare not do anything, then let me do it.

"I will make them all pay the price!"

They walked out of the interrogation room.

Chen Huijie immediately summoned Hoshiguma.

"Hoshiguma, take two teams to seal off the Governor's Office. From today onwards, no one in the Governor's Office is allowed to leave, not even Governor Wei."

When Hoshiguma heard Old Chen tell him to illegally seal off the Governor's Office, his face turned as green as his hair.

"Old Chen, what are you doing? This is against the rules."

Chen Huijie glanced at Hoshiguma with a cold expression, then pointed to the door:

"By order of the Acting Director of the Lungmen Guard Department, I hereby announce that Hoshiguma is suspended from duty effective today, and the position of Inspector General will be temporarily assumed by the First Captain of the Action Team."

"Action Team Leader, come here. Can you carry out orders? If not, you're fired too."

The Action Team leader, who had been promoted two ranks in a row, was dumbfounded.

Anyone could understand what Commander Chen was doing.

This is a coup!

Chapter 245 Talulah: Huh? I'm dead?

After leaving the Lungmen Guard Department, Luo Chen went directly to the Lower City.

At Justice Square, Luo Chen gathered all the grassroots core members of the Reunion Movement.

"I, Luo Chen, am the supreme leader of the Reunion Movement."

"Those unscrupulous corporations murdered Talulah, a key member of the Reunion Movement, and fabricated a baseless agreement to enslave the people of the Lower City."

"Now, Superintendent Chen of Lungmen has seen through these guys' conspiracy, and she will join us to eradicate these scourges."

Luo Chen spoke with righteous indignation.

And a single phone call landed on Chen Huijie, where Superintendent Chen also accused those large corporations of wrongdoing.

The crowd in Justice Square went wild.

"The Reunion Movement will fight alongside the Guardians!"

Awesome!

We are righteous.

The Lungmen Guard Department is on our side.

Everyone clapped and praised it.

For the past week, they thought the Reunion Movement was about to collapse.

Unexpectedly, there were actually people in the upper echelons of the Reunion Movement.

Superintendent Chen of the Lungmen Guard Department firmly stood by their side.

Isn't this a guaranteed win?

"Fellow countrymen," Luo Chen declared passionately, "It's time to settle accounts with those greedy bastards."
