Chapter 1194: Chapter 448: Judgment

However, the situation is indeed a bit troublesome right now, especially since the other party is following all the formal procedures, which isn’t very favorable for Hilis.

If I use my authority to pressure them, they’re definitely going to intervene.

There’s a saying that a higher-ranking official can suppress you, and after all, I’m just a Deputy Commander.

Su Ming thought about this and then said to Hilis.

“This is a bit troublesome.”

“Mr. Su Ming, is there any way for you to save my fans? No matter what, they stood up for me, and I can’t just leave them alone.”

Hilis sighed and asked.

“Miss Hilis, the worst situation right now isn’t about your fans but about you. Clearly, they’re targeting you, and you need to think about yourself now.”

Su Ming replied, finding the situation tricky.

“Ah, what should I do then?”

Masi asked anxiously upon hearing Su Ming’s words.

Hilis fell into silence.

“Let’s do this, go find a lawyer first, officially negotiate with the Defense Bureau, as this charge can be big or small. I’ll think of some other ways in the meantime.”

Su Ming thought for a few seconds and then said to Hilis and Masi.

“Sure, thank you, Mr. Su Ming.”

Hilis replied gratefully.

“No need to be so polite, I’ll be off now.”

Su Ming got up and left the interrogation room.

…

At this time, in the monitoring room, Vakrat was sitting at the monitoring control station, watching the footage from the interrogation room.

Although Su Ming warned him, Vakrat didn’t cut off the hidden surveillance equipment and continued to monitor.

Vakrat’s expression kept changing, as he really didn’t expect Hilis to have such a vast network, inviting even Deputy Commander Su Ming.

Even though Su Ming is just a Vice Admiral, he’s not small fry, with the Council behind him.

Back in the Danube Star Sea, this guy went head-to-head with Lord Mo Xiu of Sky Dome City and personally sent Luoqi Commander to the Judicial Court.

At this time, a subordinate hurried over and whispered to Vakrat.

“Sir, that Officer Su Ming has left the Defense Bureau, but we didn’t dare follow him.”

“I know, everyone out!”

Vakrat raised his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Everyone in the monitoring room got up and left.

Vakrat raised his wristband to make a communication request, and a few seconds later, it was connected.

Naz’s voice came from the wristband.

“What’s up, Vakrat?”

“Lord Naz, there’s a problem.”

“What the hell, can’t you handle a small matter?”

Naz asked irritably.

“Lord Naz, listen to me, Miss Hilis invited Deputy Commander General Su Ming.”

“Hmph, quite capable, isn’t she? To actually get him involved.”

“What should we do now?”

“What else can we do? Hurry up and solidify the charges, so nothing goes wrong while waiting.”

“Understood.”

Vakrat replied through clenched teeth.

…

On the other side, after leaving the Defense Bureau, Su Ming raised his wristband and sent a message to Rhein and the others.

It wasn’t long before Su Ming and Rhein met at a street corner.

“Boss, what happened?”

Rhein asked, panting heavily.

Su Ming lowered his voice and said a few words to Rhein and the others.

“Understood!”

Rhein and the others turned and left.

Su Ming glanced around and walked straight into a café.

He ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window quietly waiting.

…

In the interrogation room.

Hilis and Masi were left hanging inside.

Masi paced back and forth anxiously, unable to sit still, and said to Hilis with great worry.

“Miss, is Su Ming’s method really feasible?”

“I trust him.”

Hilis’s voice was light, but her tone was incredibly firm.

Masi was also stunned, as it was the first time he had seen Miss Hilis trust someone so much.

At this moment, the interrogation room door opened again.

Hilis and Masi turned their heads to look.

Vakrat walked in with a group of subordinates, smiling, with a complete change in attitude.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Hilis.”

“It’s alright, Mr. Vakrat.”

Hilis replied coldly.

“Let’s continue discussing the incident regarding the group assault.”

Vakrat said with a very good demeanor.

“Officer Vakrat, what about the lawyer I asked for?”

Hilis looked at Vakrat and asked.

“It’s already evening, outside working hours.”

Vakrat replied with a smile.

“Sorry, but until my lawyer arrives, I refuse to discuss anything.”

Hilis replied very calmly.

“Miss Hilis, it’s not that complicated. This isn’t a major issue, since no one died, only some were injured. As long as Miss Hilis signs this settlement, pays some medical expenses, I guarantee you and those detained will be released immediately.”

Vakrat pushed a document towards Hilis.

Hilis took the document and flipped through it. This document avoided the crucial points and put all the blame on herself.

If this document was signed, paying some money could indeed settle the matter.

But it would also mean admitting guilt, and the stain on her name couldn’t be washed away.

“This document is unfair, I won’t sign it.”

Hilis looked up at Vakrat and refused.

“Miss Hilis, you’d better sign it, it’s best for you and me.”

Vakrat replied with a fake smile.

“No.”

Hilis replied with absolute determination.

Seeing Hilis being so uncooperative, Vakrat slapped his hands on the interrogation table, then directly threatened with a change of face.
