Following this, all of the scenes that had occurred in this room were fully displayed to everyone present.
This included when Feng Ling agitatedly tried to kill the Commander but was stopped by K, who had rushed in. Feng Ling, who gave up the intention to kill, had turned to leave when the fat commander abruptly grabbed hold of her hair and smashed her head against the wall. He then held Feng Ling’s hair tightly and pointed his gun at K’s head…
Such a scene left Daniken stiff and flustered. He turned to look at the military leader, who stood by the door. Seeing the leader’s harsh frown, he immediately turned pale.
Finally, Feng Ling, who was initially been rational, became fully enraged by the commander’s provocation; she moved without hesitation and attacked his neck.
In the next instant, the air in the room seemed to have become frozen.
Daniken turned toward Li Nanheng.
The man’s grave and stern face was frigid in an unprecedented way.
His voice was also frighteningly low and heavy; every word left his heart trembling: “Mr. Daniken, the truth is right before our eyes. It is not clear who exactly had drugged Feng Ling, but even after being bullied and provoked, he did not actually retaliate, nor did he act seriously in self-defense. Yet, the commander insisted on hounding him and even injured him with sufficient force to cause a bone fracture. Even though we can’t hear anything, we can tell that the commander had spoken and provoked Feng Ling and K, who were originally composed, into anger. Yet, they still did not retaliate. In the end, why exactly was my man pushed into murdering a military commander? I think that Mr. Daniken may be even more aware of the truth in this matter than I am.”
“What on earth is this? Wasn’t Feng Ling the sniper sent from XI Base for friendly combat? How could such an incident happen?” The military leader, who was originally unclear of the situation, had become enraged. His demeanor left Daniken pale.
Daniken never expected things to turn out this way. Earlier, when he saw that things had escalated, he had assumed sending someone to destroy the surveillance footage would do. He never expected Li Nanheng to be so devious; the man had predicted his actions and instructed someone to obstruct his men.
Since the truth was already out and Li Nanheng was clearly pinning all of the responsibility onto the dead commander, Daniken spoke with a casual laugh: “Leader, you should also know that the Commander prefers men. He threatened to demote me and forced me to arranged Feng Ling for him; he wanted to take Feng Ling for himself. I was really forced by the Commander to cooperate. He made me remove all of the people here and to arrange for Feng Ling to return to the room alone. He also made me drug the water in the kettle. I was forced into doing so. The Commander holds so much more power than me. I had no choice but to obey his command…”
The military leader turned too him coldly, but before he could speak, Li Nanheng chuckled.
Li Nanheng strolled towards Daniken, reaching his arm out to grab him by the collar. With frighteningly cold eyes, he spoke, “Who do you think you are? Did you dare to use low-class methods like drugs against my people? You dared to use my people to please your superior?”
“M-Mr Li, let’s talk about this…” The evidence was right before their eyes, and the military leader was also present. There was no way for Daniken to argue his way out of this, and he could only display his submission.
The military leader was even more upset. In the past, there were conflicts between the XI Base and them, but those incidents were always forcefully suppressed by the United Nations. To think that their people would use such a method to challenge the XI Base’s pride and authority. He couldn’t care less about the fact that one of their commanders had was killed. The key point was that the men from XI Base had killed someone here; there was no way this incident could be suppressed, and the cause of the murder was such a despicable and disgusting scheme!
Daniken could only pin all his hopes on the leader. He rushed to say: “I will investigate this matter thoroughly once more! The surveillance cameras didn’t record any sound. We can only see that Brother Feng Ling refused to submit, which led to such a consequence. The commander hasn’t touched such a beautiful young boy in a long time and wanted him, but we can’t confirm what exactly he said to provoke him. I was also forced into this. Give me an opportunity. I will investigate this fully…”
“The person is already dead. How do you plan on investigating?” the leader asked in anger.
Li Nanheng was no longer interested in his excuses. He carelessly lifted his finger and called over one of the newcomers in this military district: “You, speak, what on earth is going on here?”
The newcomer did not expect that the boss of XI Base would call him. As he was new in this place, he was unaware of most matters and had very little courage. After seeing Daniken’s plight, he was even more fearful of saying the wrong thing. He directly answered: “W-we’re not too sure either. But Daniken is very close to the Commander and often picks the most attractive men amongst the newcomers to send to the Commander; however, there aren’t many men like that here, and the Commander has never taken a liking to any of them. His temper has been terrible lately because of this. I did hear that Daniken has been working hard to satisfy the Commander’s desire…”
The newcomer had to hold onto his thick skin to finish answering. He discovered that, with every word he spoke, Daniken’s eyes had become frostier and combined with Li Nanheng’s frighteningly frigid gaze, e felt as though he would become frozen in the next second.
Li Nanheng did not waste time speaking nonsense with anyone. He abruptly grabbed Daniken’s collar and threw him down on top of the fat commander’s corpse. Their Li family contained generations of men born with military backgrounds. Their methods of interacting with people were not gentle. At this moment, the man’s gaze was sharp and fierce. He did not plan on showing any mercy.
“From the beginning, when you brought my men here under the guise of friendly competition, you had planned to send them to your Commander, en?”
Such a Li Nanheng was far too terrifying.
His usual mild, grave and stern countenance were gone, and it was replaced with terrifying, bloodthirsty eyes. He had watched as Feng Ling’s clothes were torn apart, and her head was smashed against the wall over and over again. Her figure had been limp when she allowed the commander to press her against the wall without resisting. Right now, the force with which he held Daniken down was incomparably fierce.
Daniken was trembling from head to toe; this was because the leader was watching by the side, yet he did not speak up.
Li Nanheng was here, and everyone had seen the surveillance footage. They couldn’t delete the footage now. The two parties had always been evenly matched. Now that such an incident had occurred and evidence had been found, there would be no benefits for them to gain from this; the public’s opinion of them would even suffer greatly!
