Chapter 855: Something Happened…
Just as he said this, his subordinate had already returned and reported, “All the criminals who’d committed the most heinous crimes have been captured. Most of the espers who were sentenced have also been returned. Only one escaped.”
Xue Xi: “Who?”
“Fang Yi.”
…
In the judgment room.
Zheng Zhi lowered his head as he stood there.
Jing Fei, Ai Si, and Lu Chao stared at him. “Boss is not around. How can you do such a thing?”
Zheng Zhi sighed. “After all, we grew up together. I really couldn’t watch her suffer so much.”
Qian Xin was furious. “How did she suffer? When I was in jail back then, that’s what’s called suffering, alright?! She was being served well. What’s wrong with her treatment?”
Zheng Zhi also knew that he had done something wrong. He sighed and closed his eyes. “I did wrong. I admit it. I’ll accept punishment as I should. I consider this the last thing I’d ever do for Sister Yi! I’ve made it clear to her. From now on, I have nothing to do with her!”
Zheng Zhi was a friend that they trusted. Moreover, Fang Yi was indeed not an evil person. Hence, following the special department’s rules, the greatest punishment they could give was to demote Zheng Zhi from being a P9 to a P4.
As Zheng Zhi took off his work pass, Xue Xi arrived.
Seeing Xue Xi, Zheng Zhi did not dare to speak. He also knew that he had done something wrong and did not know how to face it. He simply turned his head and wanted to leave.
However, before he could walk away, he heard Xue Xi say, “Did she really suffer in the cell?”
Zheng Zhi was stunned.
Xue Xi lowered her head again. “She has always been more ambitious than the heavens. She’d definitely be dissatisfied with being locked up. Before Xiang Huai got imprisoned, did you ever dare to let her out?”
Zheng Zhi was stunned.
Xue Xi lowered her eyes. “So, actually, you’re not afraid of me enough. That’s why you’d dared to commit an obvious crime. Isn’t that right?”
Zheng Zhi clenched his jaw.
Xue Xi sighed. “Have you ever thought about why she had to escape? She could have clearly stayed in jail for a few years and continued serving in the special department after coming out, but she refused. Did she tell you that she was worried that I would take revenge on her if she stayed in prison?”
Zheng Zhi nodded.
Fang Yi had bribed the person who brought them food to help her pass a message. She said, “Xue Xi is the boss now. Given my bad relationship with her, do you think she will let me off?”
At that time, Zheng Zhi was convinced.
Boss was fair.
However, women were impulsive. It was true that Fang Yi did something wrong and went to jail for it, but there should not be any additional punishment.
Hence, Zheng Zhi cooperated with her.
Xue Xi’s eyes were filled with mist as she slowly asked, “Moreover, do you know where she escaped to after she left?”
Zheng Zhi was stunned and said, “She said that she will find a small mountain village and hide there. After a few years, Boss will come out, and she’ll receive her punishment.”
Xue Xi slowly said, “But we received news that she went to Country M.”
Country M…
Country M had always harbored deep malice toward China. Did she go to Country M to seek protection?
…
At the same time, Fang Yi, who had used the five people from the mysterious organization to buy herself time, arrived at the entrance of Country M’s esper academy.
She knocked on the metal door.
A guard opened the door. Fang Yi looked at him and said, “I know about the person you’ve been searching for.
“That person’s special ability is duplication.”
The guard widened his eyes.
