I couldn't see these situations myself; all I felt at that moment was a warm sensation enveloping my body, as if the injuries I had sustained were slowly healing. It felt like I was drifting in a golden ocean, almost as if I had returned to the womb.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself surrounded by a large circle of people, with Solemn's big face right in front of me.
I jumped in surprise. "What do you want?"
Solemn suddenly slapped my shoulder and laughed heartily, "Look at you! You’re tough enough to survive this! See? You're just fine!"
Han Che's expression was not good as he stepped forward. "Ling Feng, while I personally admire your character and courage, there are laws of the nation and rules of the family. Now that Yamamoto Taro and his group have suffered injuries and deaths, the J Embassy has already made it clear that they will severely punish the culprit. I..."
I had risked my life to ensure that the Five-Pointed Star Array Disk did not fall into the hands of the Nationals, and now it seemed that I was being blamed for everything?
I stiffened my neck and grabbed Han Che by his collar, cursing, "You know very well what Yamamoto Taro and his group were after. I fought tooth and nail and nearly lost my life. While I may not claim credit for it, I, Ling Feng, can proudly say that I have nothing to feel guilty about. You in the Special Investigation Bureau are just looking out for your own positions and desires. What? You still want to pin this on me?"
Usually, I didn’t lose my temper, but when I did, it seemed quite intimidating. Everyone gathered around, fearing that I might lose control and kill Han Che.
"Ling Feng, calm down! Let’s talk this over..." Solemn advised.
Cai Ning Jie also chimed in, "Ling Feng, Han Che doesn’t mean it that way. There are thousands who stand with you on this matter, but..."
Han Che pulled my hand away and looked at me. "Do you really think I'm someone who can't tell right from wrong?"
I retorted, "Isn't that how it seems?"
Han Che lowered his eyes and said softly, "Ling Feng, you should escape quickly. Even if it's not me, the Special Investigation Bureau will send others to bring you back. Even an old man can't help you with this."
He patted my shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself!" Then he left with the team from the Special Investigation Bureau.
Ruo Yu said, "Ling Feng, if things get tough, we can go hide at our place for a while until things blow over!"
I kicked a stone hard; it flew far away and rolled into a nearby thicket.
"I'm not a criminal! Why should I run? I didn't kill anyone! It was that Asura Demon who did it! If they have the guts, they should go confront it instead of coming after me! Do they think I'm easy to bully?" My heart was filled with indignation as I shouted in the direction Han Che had left.
Solemn explained, "Ling Feng, others might be able to do that, but what about Yamamoto Taro? When we arrived, we found him dead. The only ones around were you and the unconscious Ruo Yu. Yamamoto Taro's death was too brutal; all his skin seemed to have been forcibly stretched open and then hung limply. He was utterly unrecognizable..."
“Is there not a single survivor?” I asked.
Solemn replied, “We did manage to rescue two people from the ruins, but one has become a vegetable and the other has gone mad, constantly shouting about ghosts! What does your side in J Country want from you? Who do they want?”
I cursed under my breath and then asked, “What time is it now? If it comes to it, we can just fight back. I don’t care; let them taste the flames of war. Why should I be the scapegoat?”
Solemn sighed, “You’re not wrong, but in this peaceful era, everyone is focused on developing the economy. So, Ling Feng, Han Team means well. You should pack up and hide for a while.”
With my stubborn temper flaring, I thought to myself, “I’m not going anywhere. I want to see who from the Special Investigation Bureau they can send to deal with me!”
Fueled by anger, I returned home. Solemn hurried after me, saying, “Ling Feng, why are you doing this? You can’t twist an arm against a leg. Don’t you understand that?”
I stopped abruptly. “I don’t understand. I know that having reason doesn’t mean you can go anywhere; it’s likely you’ll struggle to move an inch!”
Solemn sighed again, “That’s true, but you need to consider the actual situation, don’t you?”
Before I could retort, he continued, “Now that the alert has been lifted, Ji Bai and the others should be safe, right?”
I nodded. Solemn breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good then. I’ll hurry back to inform them—everyone should return home. If they stay in our bureau any longer, my subordinates will go mad!”
Solemn dashed back for a bit but seemed uneasy and ran back to me. “Ling Feng, think carefully about what you said; don’t get into a deadlock with yourself.”
Back at the district office, I looked at the elegant characters of Jie Yuan Pu on the plaque and suddenly felt calm inside.
To hell with the nonsense of international relations; I’ve killed people! Let them do as they please!
What surprised me was that it was An Old Man who came looking for me. It had only been a few months since we last met, but he seemed to have aged quite a bit. “Why did you come in person?” I asked.
An Old Man smiled and sat down across from me. “Ling Feng, you really are something!”
I thought he was being sarcastic and felt a bit displeased. “An Old Man, surely you know my worth better than anyone else?”
He frowned slightly and replied with a smile, “You may be young, but your temper is quite something too. However, you’ve done something that brings great satisfaction to many; if it were me in my youth, I would have done the same!”
I asked suspiciously, “Really?”
"That must be true. These devils committed so many atrocities in our country, causing countless crimes. If we let them take the Five-Pointed Star Array Disk back, how will we face the souls of those who died at their hands? So don't worry about this! I guarantee it!" The Old Man assured as he sat up.
I finally smiled, "That's right! You're the one who understands the situation best in the Special Investigation Bureau! If Yamamoto runs rampant on our territory, it would be a disgrace to our entire nation!"
The Old Man changed the subject, "However, Ling Feng, you need to understand that the Special Investigation Bureau is not just my responsibility alone. So take my advice and lay low for now! Leave the rest to me!"
My eyes warmed with frustration, "Did I really make a mistake? If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. Isn't it better to just focus on my own business? Why get mixed up in other people's affairs?"
The Old Man comforted me, "Ling Feng, this isn't your fault. Right now, the J Embassy is applying pressure, and we have to take some action too, right? Trust me, once this blows over, the rewards you deserve won't be lacking!"
Hearing the word "rewards" piqued my interest. "Are we talking about bonuses? Trophies and certificates are fine, but they can't be eaten or drunk!"
The Old Man laughed and pointed at me, "You're much more clever than your master!"
