Capítulo 1195: Chapter 448: Judgment_2

“Miss Xilis, don’t be so ungrateful. I’ve already given you a lot of leeways. If you don’t sign, things won’t be so polite afterward. All the charges will receive the heaviest penalties, and you’ll end up in prison! Can your delicate body handle prison? By then, it will be too late for regrets.”

Facing Vakrat’s threat, Xilis replied without any fear.

“Vakrat, you don’t have to threaten me; I’m not easily scared. I know more than a third of the Federation’s members, and I am acquainted with at least eighty generals in the Military Department.”

Vakrat was both shocked and angry upon hearing Xilis’s words.

If someone else had said this, he would have considered it a joke. But hearing it from Xilis was no laughing matter.

However, this only made him feel cornered.

Vakrat sneered coldly and said.

“I don’t care whom you know, even if it’s the king of heaven, it won’t help. Aside from instructing and inciting fans to assault personnel, you were caught bribing me, which is a solid case. I can send you all to prison right now!”

“You….”

Masi was nearly driven mad with anger upon hearing this.

But Xilis just looked at Vakrat coldly, without any panic.

Just then, the door of the interrogation room opened again.

Su Ming entered with Rhein and others, all dressed in military uniforms.

“Vakrat, quite the authority you have!”

Vakrat looked at Su Ming entering, and said with righteous indignation.

“Officer Su Ming, please don’t forcibly interfere with our Defense Bureau, or I will file a complaint with the higher authorities. It would be detrimental to your career path.”

“Haha, Boss, is he threatening you?”

Rhein and his companions burst out laughing, as if they were hearing a very funny story.

“Be serious.”

Su Ming said somewhat helplessly to Rhein and his group.

“Okay.”

Rhein and his companions stifled their laughter.

Su Ming walked directly to Xilis’s side and said to her.

“Leave it to me from now on.”

“Okay!”

Xilis responded with great trust.

Vakrat, with a stern face, said to Su Ming.

“Officer Su Ming, Xilis and her people tried to bribe me to clear their name. I have video evidence, it’s irrefutable; do you intend to distort the facts for her?”

Upon hearing Vakrat’s words, Su Ming frowned instantly.

Xilis saw that Su Ming seemed a bit troubled and was about to persuade him to drop it. But with Su Ming’s earlier words in mind, she chose to remain silent, leaving everything to Su Ming.

At this time, Rhein said disdainfully.

“Stop bluffing. You claim there was bribery, then show some substantial evidence!”

“Evidence? Alright, then open your eyes wide and take a good look. This is the Black Card Miss Xilis used for bribery.”

Vakrat slapped the Black Card onto the table.

“A Black Card doesn’t represent anything; it can’t prove it’s Miss Xilis’s.”

Su Ming said indifferently.

“Officer Su Ming, I have video evidence to prove it; I’ll show it to you right now!”

Vakrat lifted his wristband, tapped it a few times, and connected to the equipment in the interrogation room.

Shua!

A holographic image appeared.

The interrogation room showed Vakrat threatening Xilis and Masi.

“Listen up, I’m in charge of this case; don’t talk to me about evidence, it’s useless! If you don’t show sincere tokens that satisfy me, don’t blame me for sending you all to prison….”

Masi, upon seeing the video, was completely dumbfounded, feeling as if in a dream.

Xilis was also very surprised, as she had prepared for the worst outcome.

As for Vakrat, his entire body went numb, his head buzzing before he realized and angrily said.

“You, you’ve tampered with the video footage.”

“Vakrat, watch your words, the footage played itself. Are you now trying to retaliate? Such audacity!”

Su Ming said coldly.

In fact, this footage was tampered with by Su Ming and Celeste, who specifically instructed Rhein and others to bring in Celeste to hack into the Defense Bureau’s system.

Of course, the footage can be checked for tampering, but being able to ascertain Celeste’s modifications would require either Xi Guang Laboratory or the Mechanical Clan.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible, you must have done something.”

Vakrat replied somewhat frantically.

“Do you think making excuses will help? I now declare that Vakrat is suspected of dereliction of duty, bribery, framing, and a series of other crimes, and his position is suspended!”

Su Ming formally announced.

Vakrat felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss; his subordinates were all filled with expressions of terror, and no one dared to make a sound.

Su Ming looked coldly at Vakrat, speaking in an even tone.

“Vakrat, weren’t you just acting all principled? I hope you can withstand a thorough investigation.”

“Officer Su Ming, I was wrong, please spare me.”

Vakrat replied, trembling.

He absolutely couldn’t withstand an investigation; once the Judicial Court people got involved, it would only take moments for them to dig up all his past misdeeds.

At that point, it wouldn’t just be these few charges but a death sentence.

“Speak, who exactly instructed you? Such a simple dispute, I don’t believe you couldn’t see that crowd deliberately causing trouble. Who brings so many friends for a signing anyway?”

Su Ming looked at Vakrat and asked.

“This….”

Vakrat was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer.

“If you don’t speak, I can find out myself, and by then, you won’t have the chance to confess. But if you say it now, maybe I won’t feel like digging into your mess any further.”
