Chapter 867: Capture Xue Xi in the City!
In the special department.
Zheng Zhi lay in the ice crystal coffin with his eyes closed. The corpse had been cleaned.
In front of him—
Everyone in the special department stood there.
Jing Fei, Qian Xin, Ai Si, and Xiao Xiao stood at the front and stared deeply at Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi’s parents had died for the country and were the pride of the special department. Hence, he had grown up in the special department and was deeply loved by everyone.
The older people took care of him.
The younger people admired him.
At a young age, he had already become a P9 and was in charge of the legal department. Like Jing Fei and the rest, he was a young talent and was also a successor among the next generation of espers.
Even Xiang Huai was exceptionally tolerant of this kind of second-generation esper. Hence, even though Zheng Zhi hated Xue Xi, he had always been trying to get them to get along. In the end, Zheng Zhi was convinced by Xue Xi.
That was because Zheng Zhi’s ident.i.ty was too special. He was the hub that connected the previous generation of espers and the new generation of espers.
But now, he was dead.
Qian Xin did not believe it. “Sister Xi won’t have killed Zheng Zhi. This must be fake!”
“Fake?!” Fang Yi was wearing white clothes and her eyes were red from crying. She stood at the front and stared at Jing Fei and Xiao Xiao as she asked, “Tell them, did Xue Xi lose her emotions and rationality when she used her special ability?! She even almost killed the two of you, didn’t she?”
Jing Fei and Xiao Xiao could not lie, but they did not believe Fang Yi’s words. “…Sister Xi lost her rationality for a short period of time, but she had already recovered!
“She recovered because she stopped using her special ability! But after you guys fainted, she used it again to escape! She killed Xiao Zhi. If you guys had not come quickly, she would probably have killed me too!”
Fang Yi cried pathetically.
Jing Fei said uncertainly, “But even so, you can’t say that Sister Xi killed him…”
Among the elders in the special department, someone suddenly shouted angrily, “If it’s not her, could it be Fang Yi?! Fang Yi is Xiao Zhi’s sister! The two of them have been like biological siblings since they were young!”
Jing Fei choked.
That’s right.
Fang Yi was indeed not good, but no matter what, she would not be so crazy as to kill her younger brother. Moreover, when Zheng Zhi let her go, he had taken a huge risk.
But if it was not Fang Yi, who else could it be?
He could not speak.
Fang Yi cried and shouted, “Captain Jing, why are you still hesitating?! Xue Xi is your comrade, but isn’t Zheng Zhi your comrade as well?!”
Jing Fei clenched his fists.
He took a deep breath and said, “We’ll capture Xue Xi, but she must be captured alive! We can’t hurt Sister Xi! We can’t make a unilateral judgment about this matter. We must give Sister Xi a chance to explain!”
This was the best plan he could come up with at this point.
Captured alive.
In other words, he was also protecting Sister Xi.
Once he captured Sister Xi… he would tell Boss that he… could no longer protect Sister Xi!
…
That night, everyone took turns to guard Zheng Zhi.
Everyone could see Fang Yi’s sad expression. At this moment, they were too embarra.s.sed to chase her away. Moreover, ever since Jing Fei had said that he was going to capture Xue Xi, the international espers did not put pressure on China anymore. They clearly wanted to cooperate.
Everyone in the special department was sad. Even the black cat was holding its phone but could not watch any dramas.
It squatted in the corner behind the coffin. Just as it was feeling sad, it suddenly heard footsteps.
It turned around and saw Fang Yi walking over.
At this moment, there was no one in the room. Thinking of a palace drama plot, the black cat turned on the recording b.u.t.ton on its phone…
