Chapter 395 The Dust Has Settled

After the news of the second fall of the Tianmen Patrol Station came out, the World Government's Upper Court Council and the headquarters of the three giant companies were all shocked.

After the task force's on-site investigation, a fact that had to be believed was placed in front of these senior executives-Special Commissioner Luo died in the Tianmen battle, and Wolf King Fenrir successfully entered the no-man's land.

In an instant, Xinyue City fell into chaos, and the Upper Court Guards and the authorities were in danger. No one knew why this happened.

Taking advantage of this chaos, Su Mo and others secretly returned to Xinyue City without attracting any attention.

Dong Dong and Nuo Bai returned to the Edge Building, and Su Mo returned to the Royal Special Prison.

It is worth mentioning that the ugly warden who had spoken nonsense in front of the prisoners like a jumping clown was actually Luo's loyal confidant in secret.

During the time when Su Mo left the prison area, he found a way to confuse the sight of the Upper Court Guards, and assisted Su Mo to return to his cell from the secret passage in time, creating the illusion that he was in prison the whole time. The whole process was seamless.

When the warden learned of Luo's death, he just said "her death was worthwhile".

The warden's tone was very calm when he said this, but for a moment, Su Mo saw a faint flash of tears in his eyes.

On the seventh day after Luo's death, the Upper Court Council posthumously named her a martyr, held a funeral for her with the highest standards, and designated this day as a day of mourning.

However, the effect of this decree was not ideal. People from all over the country did not mourn Luo with deep sorrow, but with carnival.

This bad guy who lived a luxurious life, did not distinguish right from wrong, was domineering, and suppressed righteous people at will finally died.

No matter how the top leaders promoted her loyalty and sacrifice, the bottom people did not have any sympathy for her.

This phenomenon is particularly serious in Crescent City, where it is like celebrating a grand festival.

Local netizens vented their ecstasy on their social homepages, using all kinds of vicious words to curse Luo for not being reborn after death. The momentum of their posts was so fierce that even the Internet police could not delete them. In the end, they could only force major websites to temporarily close the posting and commenting functions.

The online situation was suppressed, but the offline situation was even stronger.

People in every household in Xinyue City hung red lanterns on their windows. Those without red lanterns pasted red paper. They all wore bright red clothes when they went out. The atmosphere was as hot as the New Year.

Even the children in the school learned a nursery rhyme written by someone unknown. After school, they played on the playground while clapping their hands and learning to sing:

[Insects and pests are rampant]

[Overeating and having a belly full of fat intestines]

[Being a useless person, everyone hates you]

[A vicious heart harms the loyal and good]

[Fortunately, there is no way out for you]

[The wolf king at the border made a move]

[Cut off her head and use it as a ball]

After singing the nursery rhyme, the children always imitated the wolf howling, waving their little hands as claws to pull their companions around, laughing and simulating the ugly scene of Luo being killed.

When Dongdong came to visit the prison, he told Su Mo about these things.

Dongdong is a very sentimental person. How much she hated Luo at first, how much she admired him after learning the whole story.

Hearing Luo being insulted like this, Dongdong felt as uncomfortable as anyone else. She seemed calm when she spoke, but her eyes were actually a little red.

Because there were prison guards on duty nearby and the prison area phone might also be monitored, Su Mo didn't say much to Dongdong.

But they both knew that if Luo was still alive, she would be very relieved to see this scene.

Yes, the more Luo was hated by the world, the more loyal she was in the eyes of the court, and the more successful her plan was.

Only in this way can the world go further and get closer to the dawn of lighting up the darkness.

A loner who can give up everything will not care about how he is evaluated after death, because she has already distributed her love equally to everyone.

Luo liked to laugh in her life, sometimes it was a real laugh, sometimes it was a fake laugh. If she were still alive, now would be the time when she smiled the brightest.

After Luo died, the court sent a new special commissioner to Xinyue City to take over the aftermath.

In the next month, under the command of the new special commissioner, another massive purge began.

Zhao Yiming, the vice president of the former joint venture Xinyue City branch, was determined to have been assassinated. The headquarters evaluated this regional leader who once turned the tide as -

blinded by greed and short-sighted.

In just eight words, this man's turbulent life was defined.

Zhao Yiming was removed from the headquarters and no longer enjoyed any post-treatment. Even the funeral home dared to accept his body, and no one or force dared to take it over. In the end, it was thrown away directly and left on the street.

Zhou Hannian, the "King of Mercenaries" in Xinyue City, has been missing to this day. After going to court and negotiating with the Iron Blood Union headquarters, he was treated as a defector, the ultimate insurance was activated, the backdoor program of the prosthesis was detonated, the Death Scythe Mercenary Group was disbanded on the spot, and all managers were imprisoned and awaiting processing.

The important members of the Crescent City Council, led by Amir, were also successively dismissed for suspected rebellion. When Luo arrived, they thought they had a bright future, but everything changed overnight. They went from being high and mighty to being imprisoned. What awaited them was endless interrogation and an answer they did not know at all.

On the day when Amir and others were dismissed, the new special commissioner released Sumer and others who were originally imprisoned in prison according to the order of his superiors.

Except for Sumer, no one knew about Luo's overall plan. They were imprisoned for nearly two months and knew nothing about the outside world. When they came out, everything had changed.

The new commissioner dropped all the charges against them by Luo, without explaining the specific reasons, and just asked them to go home.

Only Su Mo knew that it was Luo's arrangement that made these people "innocents" in the eyes of the court.

Anyone in this city may be suspected of rebellion and participate in assisting Fenrir's escape, but it is impossible for these people whose personal freedom is guaranteed.

Coincidentally, just when everyone was leaving the prison, they happened to meet the special car escorting Amir and others, and the two groups of people met directly.

Amir and other important officials were still wearing their work uniforms, indicating that the new commissioner did not show any mercy to them and was arrested directly on the job.

Those once proud eyes were filled with confusion and despair, and some shed helpless tears.

But there is no sympathy for them, because they deserve it.

On the other side of the iron fence, Shangguan Li was looking coldly at the lost Amir.

Su Mo walked up to her, looked at Amir with her, and asked in a low voice: "It might be a bit troublesome to take revenge and kill him personally."

Shangguan Li snorted coldly: "No need. If you can see him ending up like this, my father's spirit in heaven can rest in peace. Let this guy suffer to death for the rest of his life."

The first batch of prison vans escorted all government officials, while the latter batch escorted social elites.

In the crowd, Su Mo also saw an "old friend."

Dres was in a state of disbelief, wearing rumpled pajamas, and the dreadlocks on his head were untied and hanging loosely.

This guy was probably not very honest when he was arrested. His nose was crooked, one of his front teeth was missing, and the blood on his face was not wiped clean. He looked as embarrassed as he wanted.

A mercenary captain who had a problem with Derleth said sarcastically: "Hey, hey, isn't this the famous king of middlemen, Old D? I haven't seen him behave like this in two months."

"Life in prison is boring, but luckily you can rap. Then you can sing and dance to cheer up the inmates."

Dres heard the sound and looked over, and soon saw Su Mo. He seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and wanted to rush over in a panic: "Old Su! Old Su! It's me, Old Su! Do you remember me!"

Seeing that he was dishonest, the escort guard next to him hit him on the shin with a stick, causing him to fall to the ground and scream in pain.

When being dragged back by the guards, Derleth was still shouting at Sumer: "Old Su! We used to be good buddies! When you first started your career, I took care of you so many times and gave you so much. It’s a great commission, please save me for this reason, Lao Su!”

These words made Su Mo stop. He thought for a moment, then walked up to the escort guard and said, "Can you give your leader a call? I have something to tell him."

Su Mo is a well-known figure in Crescent City. This time he is reborn from the ashes. After Zhou Hannian's downfall, he is recognized by everyone as the next mercenary king.

Since Su Mo took the initiative, making a phone call was not against his principles, so the escort guard gave him face.

The calls went up one level after another, and finally all the way to the new court commissioner.

"Hello, Mr. Commissioner, this is how it is"

Su Mo walked to the corner with his cell phone and couldn't hear what he said specifically because of the distance.

The entire call process was not long, about 30 seconds, but Dres was looking forward to it, feeling like he had been waiting for half a lifetime.

Not long after, Su Mo came over with his cell phone and handed it back to the escort guard. The latter listened for a moment, said "yes" several times, and then hung up the call.

The escort guard walked over to Dres, took out the key and removed his shackles.

Derleth instantly fell into ecstasy, and he knelt down to Su Mo in excitement, shouting: "Hey! Thank you, old Su Bah. Thank you, Captain Su, for saving my life! You are my great benefactor! No!" , more than a benefactor! You are my father! From today on, you are my biological father!"

Su Mo joked: "You must be too hasty in your father's recognition. I am a yellow man, and I can't give birth to a black boy like you."

It has to be said that Derleth really engraved humor into his bones. He actually took the joke and said, "Gene mutation, it is said in the biology book that this thing is heritable."

Su Mo was amused and waved his hand, gesturing for him to get in the car with him.

When Derleth trotted after him, the other prisoners also screamed:

"Captain Su! Please help me too!"

"We had dinner together before! I even toasted you with wine!"

"Brother Su! You are my idol! Your photo is still hanging in my office!"

"Wow, don't go! Help me!"

Su Mo paid no attention to anyone, and the escorting guards were also rude. He knocked down those who tried to struggle with his sticks, and then escorted them all to the prison.

Seeing this, Dres ran faster and quickly squeezed into Sumer's car.

Feeling the soft cushions under his body, Derleth felt his whole body sag, and he was still mumbling: "Old Su, I'm so lucky to know you. Oh, I could tell at the first glance that you will definitely be in the future. He is a big shot, so he is right to hug you early."

Su Mo joked: "Then you were so anxious to delete my friend."

These words hit Derleth's weak point. He suppressed it until his face flushed, and he hurriedly said, "That's all Zhou Hannian forced me to do. He insisted that I choose one between you."

"You also know that my strength is not comparable to his. Although I am very optimistic about you, your power has not yet developed at that time. I was forced to reluctantly part with you!"

"Look! The final result is good! We are reunited, Zhou Hannian died without a burial place, I want to say now - good death! Open the champagne!"

Su Mo smiled briefly after hearing this.

Zhou Hannian would not do such a tasteless thing. Now that he is dead, Dress can of course shirk the blame however he wants, since the dead can't talk anyway.

All along the way, Dress was reminiscing about the past and talking about their past friendship, but Su Mo did not respond.

As the car was driving, Dress suddenly felt that the scenery outside the window was a little familiar, and asked, "This is Anmi New District. Where are we going?"

Not long after the words fell, the car stopped.

Through the window, seeing the graceful figure slowly approaching, Dress was so scared that he quickly jumped out of the car from the other side.

As soon as the door opened, a strong hand pulled him down.

While struggling, he saw Duan Ren's cold eyes.

O'Diana walked up to Su Mo and nodded to him: "Thank you."

Su Mo: "You're welcome."

Dress then realized that Su Mo pulled him out of jail and put him in another hole.

He cried hoarsely: "Old Su! Old Su, you can't do this!"

"Have you forgotten Xinghai Cinema! The Xinghai Cinema hostage incident where you first made your fortune!"

"If I hadn't introduced you to Schenkov, you would still be a small mercenary! You can't be ungrateful!"

Su Mo said lightly: "That's because you owed me once in the TL730 operation. Xinghai Cinema just asked you to repay the favor. We have already evened it."

"Of course, I still remember the favor. Didn't I pull you out of jail? It's more comfortable to go for a ride than to be bored in there."

"As for the grudge between you and the Countess, that's your business. I can't interfere."

When Dress was dragged away by the broken blade, his emotions collapsed directly. He cried and begged for mercy to Su Mo and O'Diana, but got no response.

What awaits him next must be a painful torture.

The Countess never shows mercy to those who stab her in the back.

Su Mo specifically reminded: "Be careful, just beat him up, don't kill him or maim him, you have to return him to the special commissioner tomorrow."

O'Diana: "I know, I know."

Su Mo took a long breath and exhaled, saying: "It's time to go home."

When Su Mo returned to the Edge Building, everyone had received the news and was waiting outside in advance.

In the crowd, Su Mo saw Qi Ling's figure. She did not come up to greet him as usual, but stood in the corner absent-mindedly, looking a little dazed, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.

"Zero" Su Mo called softly.

Qi Ling's eyes were still unfocused, but she just walked up woodenly and hugged Su Mo gently.

Su Mo realized that in this warm spring with a mild climate, her hands were actually cold.

Qi Ling buried her head in Su Mo's arms, holding his back tightly with her cold hands, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear, and her whispers were trembling slightly.

"You are all I have. Don't leave me. Never leave me." (End of this chapter)
