Now, the Chu Character Legion was united once more, from top to bottom. Only its pillar had changed, from Chu Xiaoang to Chu Baxing.
The heavy atmosphere in the conference room had vanished, and everyone else had relaxed considerably.
Chu Baxing said, "Since you all recognize me as commander, I'll be counting on your efforts as we continue to strengthen the Chu Character Legion together!"
"Wait."
Just as Chu Baxing was about to continue, Qin Siyang interrupted him.
Chu Baxing looked at Qin Siyang. "Do you have anything else to add, Brigade Commander Qin?"
"Since we're dealing with traitors, we might as well deal with all of them in one go."
Chu Baxing frowned. "More traitors? Surely you don't mean these officers from the 1st Army, Brigade Commander Qin? Apart from Chen Lanpo, they're not beyond redemption."
The others hurriedly said, "Exactly! We really only did it because our interests were closely tied to Huang Yihan's. We had no choice! We weren't determined to rebel and resist to the bitter end!"
"I'm not talking about you."
No sooner had Qin Siyang spoken than a streak of golden lightning shot from his fingertip toward Fu Zhaoyue, too fast for anyone to react. A Lightning Cage instantly formed around him, locking him firmly in place.
"I'm talking about this commander of the Guard Regiment."
"Fu Zhaoyue?!"
This time, everyone looked at Qin Siyang in astonishment, even Chu Baxing. "Qin Siyang, you're saying Regiment Commander Fu is a traitor? You must be mistaken. He was my father's most trusted personal guard!"
Fu Zhaoyue was equally shocked. "Brigade Commander Qin, don't make such vicious accusations!"
Qin Siyang said, "If my guess is right, although Commander Chu-oh, I mean Commander Chu Xiaoang-was killed by Qin Yingguang, this Fu Zhaoyue probably played a part as well."
