Chapter Summary
"Senator, I know you may share our desire to give everyone the truth, but I must remind you that while you hold a high position now, when I was investigating back then, I already knew that someone was involved, and that person was also of considerable rank, wielding immense power throughout the city. It's obvious that Zhao Bing and the others don't believe it and want to get the truth from Liu Ning to see what he's really thinking. So don't worry, as long as I support you, no matter who this per...
When Liu Ning said these words, everyone present had a gleam in their eyes. This day had finally come. What had they been waiting for inside? Wasn't it all for this day? Frankly, many had given up their ideals while inside. The number of people imprisoned back then was far greater than it is now; they were all from the very first batch assigned there. Many had suffered unfair treatment, but only these people persevered. The rest betrayed their beliefs along the way. Anyone who betrayed their beliefs would be given a large sum of money by the detention center. Either you stay and collect the money with everyone else, or you're stuck in the detention center, no matter what your demands are; you can't get out.
"Senator, I know you may share our desire to give everyone the truth, but I must remind you that while you hold a high position now, when I was investigating back then, I already knew that someone was involved, and that person was also of considerable rank, wielding immense power throughout the city. If we were to investigate this person, could you guarantee your support for our investigation? Could you guarantee that this person would answer our questions? In fact, if I had continued the investigation back then, I could have absolutely brought this criminal organization to its knees. We were just small fry, including our station chief; we were all just doing their bidding. The real bosses were incredibly powerful."
The young man named Zhao Bing said excitedly that during the investigation back then, he suspected that the investigation was halted because of that person, and many people had been corrupted. Although the initial investigation was quite dramatic, the final outcome was still uncertain. What if Liu Ning was also afraid? What about that person? What would happen then? Would all of them be eliminated? If more people found out about this, there would probably be no good outcome. Therefore, Zhao Bing wanted to know the result first. He had been imprisoned for so many years anyway, and even if he died, he had to know the truth. He wanted to see how capable Liu Ning really was and whether he could handle this matter.
Liu Ning understood what the young man meant. He simply didn't believe in his resolve and wanted to see what level of people he could handle. Although he was a city councilor and the youngest city councilor, these people at the bottom didn't understand any of that. In their eyes, he was just a high-ranking official in the city, which was enough for ordinary people like them. But what if he were dealing with people of the same level? Could he really give orders to arrest them?
Can you really disregard all interests? You must understand that in high society, everyone's interests are intertwined. If it really interferes with your core interests, can you still say you'll support us as you do now? It's obvious that Zhao Bing and the others don't believe it and want to get the truth from Liu Ning to see what he's really thinking.
"Don't worry, I know what you mean. When you first investigated this person, many people probably threatened you. Now you're probably terrified, like someone bitten once and being afraid of a rope for ten years. So don't worry, as long as I support you, no matter who this person is, as long as you can find solid evidence, I can guarantee you right now that even if he holds a higher position than me, I will definitely expose him. I already told you, this matter involves too many ordinary people, countless families, and people like you. You are all people who have contributed to humanity, yet you are imprisoned here. If we don't clear your names, will anyone else be willing to work for humanity in the future?"
Liu Ning spoke with great excitement, standing up and walking towards the men. They had been imprisoned for a long time and had developed a distinct odor. Most people wouldn't want to approach them, but Liu Ning disregarded the smell and stood before them, filling them with immense excitement. Finding such a superior was incredibly rare for them. These days in prison had nearly worn down their fighting spirit; some had even become mentally dulled, mainly because they had no one to talk to, only eating and sleeping, causing them nothing but mental damage. This was exactly what the corrupt officials wanted – they hoped these men had gone mad.
"You all have one hour to wash up properly, book the hotel across the street, and prepare brand-new uniforms for them. In one hour, I expect to see the light of day in the conference room. Have all your previous investigation reports organized. I want us to get started as soon as possible. There can be no delays. I believe you all know about the Fusang Martial Arts School incident. Some people may be retreating. We must race against time to catch them. If they escape, it will be a crime against society. How can we face the families of the victims afterward? Think about the suffering you've endured. If you're not quick enough, can you face yourselves?"
Liu Ning pointed to a hotel across the street. The smell on these people was indeed unbearable, and given how long they had been inside, they needed to tidy themselves up. If they didn't have a proper appearance, they might mistake themselves for criminals. It wasn't that they had any mental problems; it was just that they had been inside for so long that they had already adopted another identity. This had to be addressed. If they didn't respect themselves, how could they judge other cases in the future? So this was very important, and that was exactly what Liu Ning was giving them—hoping they could regain their confidence. Of course, confidence grows from within, but if they were given a brand-new uniform and some equipment, they could quickly find what they needed.
