Chapter 813 - Disarm

“Jiang District has been in chaos for two years, but Commissar Qu was transferred over from Emperor District more than half a year ago. As for Emperor District, he has maintained strict discipline in the military base there and has never made any mistakes. Therefore, the suspicion on Commisar Qu is basically eliminated.”

The more Chi Yang spoke, the more dismayed Peng Yaohua became.

“So, what you’re saying is that I might be the traitor? Hehe…” Peng Yaohua was so angry that he could die.

“Whether you’re a traitor or otherwise, we’ll talk about it when we get back. Right now, our priority is to escape with our lives intact. Therefore, first of all, I’m sorry. For safety’s sake, please hand over your guns.”

Leng Jinpeng and Qu Mingyi were the first to move. They quickly took out their guns from their holsters and passed them to Chi Yang with the guns facing downward.

Chi Yang placed the two guns on his waist and said, “Please raise your hands and let me examine you again.”

Leng Jinpeng and Qu Mingyi raised their hands for the check.

After making sure that there was nothing suspicious on both their bodies and bags, Chi Yang finally said, “Alright.”

Then, he looked at Luo Shangyi. “Deputy Commander Luo, please hand me your gun.”

“Sure.” Luo Shangyi handed the gun to Chi Yang cooperatively.

“I understand that I can’t escape the blame for what happened today, but please believe me, Commander and Commissar. If I were the spy, I wouldn’t have done something so stupid. If I really wanted to assassinate the commander-in-chief, I’d rather find another time and assassinate him quietly. I wouldn’t do it so openly. After all, we all know how strong Captain Chi is. Playing tricks in front of Captain Chi is no different from trying to teach your grandmother how to suck eggs. I’m not that stupid.”

Luo Shangyi handed the gun to Chi Yang. When Chi Yang held the gun, he started to speak. Fortunately, the gun had been handed over and nothing could go wrong.

Peng Yaohua sneered. “So, you’re saying that I framed you?”

The moment he said that, Peng Yaohua reached for his gun.

“Alright, I’ll prove it to you right now!”

However, just as he finished speaking, Chi Yang had already pointed Luo Shangyi’s gun at Peng Yaohua’s head.

Peng Yaohua’s expression darkened. “Chi Yang, what do you mean by this?”

Chi Yang was eerily calm.

“Nothing, but I’m currently examining Deputy Commander Luo. I advise Deputy Commander Peng to not move, and definitely refrain from touching your gun.”

Peng Yaohua choked on Chi Yang’s words and could only swallow his anger.

Seeing this, Luo Shangyi smirked.

After patting down Luo Shangyi and confirming that Chi Yang confiscated everything that looked suspicious—including putting his bank card and wallet under Leng Jinpeng’s care—Chi Yang looked at Peng Yaohua.

“Deputy Commander Peng, it’s your turn now.”

Peng Yaohua raised his hands high. To prove his innocence, he said, “Chi Yang, I have no plans to touch my own gun. For safety’s sake, help me remove it.”

“Sure.” Chi Yang did not argue with that and removed Peng Yaohua’s gun.

After patting down Peng Yaohua, Chi Yang nodded. “Alright, the examination is complete.

“Since the enemy’s target has always been the commander-in-chief, you should go through the passage alone, Commander Leng. After that, it will be Commissar Qu and Deputy Commander Peng’s turn to leave. Deputy Commander Luo and I will go last.”

Peng Yaohua smiled and said, “Chi Yang, you also suspect Luo Shangyi the most, right? Actually, I suspect it’s Luo Shangyi too.”
