Wang Chao acted swiftly, kicking Sheng Minghui and handcuffing him, throwing him aside. All of this happened in just two seconds.
His voice was forceful and domineering, resonating powerfully.
Bai Yang frowned as he looked at Sheng Minghui on the ground. He did not immediately make a move but instead sought guidance from Tang Zelong through his eyes.
Not having seen Wang Chao's ID, he had no idea what position Wang Chao held in the Dragon Team and didn't want to be hastily assigned by him.
At this moment, Tang Zelong's expression also turned grim.
He had originally wanted to persuade Wang Chao to show leniency and not provoke Sikong Yun to the extreme.
But he never expected that before he could say anything, Wang Chao had already taken action.
Helplessly, he had no choice but to stand on Wang Chao's side and say in a deep voice, "When Mr. Wang takes action, he must have his reasons. Take him away for now."
Bai Yang furrowed his brows, sheathed his battle knife, lifted Sheng Minghui, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Sheng, please come with us."
Although Sheng Minghui was a high-ranking member of the War Department, as a member of the Dragon Team, Bai Yang had the authority to apprehend and judge any high-ranking individual who committed crimes!
Therefore, he had no qualms about dealing with Sheng Minghui.
"This's a miscarriage of justice!"
After being lifted by Bai Yang, Sheng Minghui's expression became incredibly fearful. He desperately struggled to break free from Bai Yang's grip and fell to his knees in front of Sikong Yun, pleading loudly, "Lord Sikong, I am innocent! I beg you to intercede for me!"
As he spoke, he sobbed and tears streamed down his face, pleading in agony.
The Dragon Team was a legendary organization that not only protected the country but also monitored all high-ranking officials. Once someone was captured by the Dragon Team, their life would be over.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhen was the first to kneel before Sikong Yun, pleading loudly, "Lord Sikong, please investigate this matter. It's not Commander Sheng's fault."
"Please, Lord Sikong, investigate!"
Li Yuming and all the soldiers of the White Silver Legion also knelt down and pleaded with Sikong Yun.
There were too many of them, at least tens of thousands, kneeling densely on the ground, creating a spectacular scene.
Moreover, they were cunning. They surrounded Bai Yang from all sides, preventing him from leaving.
"If it's not Sheng Minghui's fault, then whose fault is it?" Sikong Yun coldly stared at those people.
Xiao Zhen, Li Yuming, and the others present had a drastic change in expression upon hearing his words.
As shrewd individuals, they immediately understood Sikong Yun's intention.
He wanted one of them to step forward and take the blame to protect Sheng Minghui!
However, once someone took the blame, it meant that everything they had sacrificed and gained on the extraterritorial battlefield would be in vain, like water poured into a bamboo basket.
At this moment, Xiao Zhen seemed to recall something and had a clever idea. He immediately shouted, "My lord, it's Meng Chang's fault! This's all Meng Chang's fault!"
Meng Chang?
Sheng Minghui, Li Yuming, and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Then, they all rejoiced.
"Yes, yes, my lord, it's all Meng Chang's fault."
"Please, my lord, investigate!"
Sheng Minghui, Li Yuming, and the others knelt on the ground, shouting loudly, shifting all the blame onto Meng Chang.
Since Meng Chang was already dead, they could completely shift all the blame to him without any evidence.
"Meng Chang?" Sikong Yun's gaze turned cold. "Bring Meng Chang to me!"
"My lord, Meng Chang is already dead," Xiao Zhen said.
"Dead?"
"That's right! Meng Chang is already dead, but we have surveillance footage of his every move. Once we review the footage, the truth will be revealed."
"Retrieve the surveillance footage!"
Upon Sikong Yun's order, the soldiers of the White Silver Legion immediately went to retrieve the surveillance footage.
However, the prison had been reduced to ruins, and there was no way to find the surveillance footage.
"Search the cloud database!" Xiao Zhen uttered in a deep voice.
The soldiers immediately understood and accessed the previous cloud database, retrieving all the surveillance footage. They handed the found footage to Tang Zelong and Sikong Yun.
The videos showed the confrontation between Meng Chang and Wang Chao, as well as Meng Chang's words in which he framed Wang Chao and planned his own suicide.
Sikong Yun ordered the communications unit to play this segment of the video for all the members of the Qilin Army to see.
Furthermore, he ordered an investigation into the entire incident.
The investigation revealed that Meng Chang was indeed behind the conspiracy.
Meng Chang had approached Guo Yuzhen to discuss how to frame Wang Chao. He sent troops to capture Guo Yuzhen, falsely accused Wang Chao, and had him captured. Then, after locking up Wang Chao, Meng Chang revealed his true colors, seeking revenge and framing Wang Chao with a suicide.
There was even video evidence of how Meng Chang deceived Sheng Minghui into taking action.
In short, everything was orchestrated by Meng Chang, and it was all his fault!
They demonstrated their expertise in the workplace.
"This Meng Chang has quite the audacity, breaking the law and acting recklessly!" Sikong Yun, enraged after watching the videos, shouted, "Spread the word, strip Meng Chang of all his power and honors, and expel his children from the War Department!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Zhantian received the order and immediately went to carry it out.
"Sheng Minghui, as a high-ranking member of the War Department, you were easily manipulated by your subordinates, showing too much trust and lacking vigilance. You will forfeit one year's salary and be suspended for three months for reflection. Do you have any objections?" Sikong Yun asked.
"Report, I have no objections. I am willing to accept the punishment," Sheng Minghui replied, kneeling on the ground with a smile that he could not hide.
One year's salary was nothing to him!
And a three-month suspension was a minor inconvenience. Once the time was up, he could continue serving as the Commander of the White Silver Legion.
After Sikong Yun dealt with everything, he turned to Wang Chao and Tang Zelong and said, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Wang, now that the truth has been revealed, what do you think of this resolution?"
Wang Chao furrowed his brows, his expression cold.
He had originally wanted to teach Sheng Minghui a lesson and remove him from his position as a high-ranking member of the War Department, someone who so carelessly took lives.
However, now all the evidence pointed to Meng Chang.
These people clearly wanted to shift the blame onto the deceased Meng Chang.
Since Meng Chang was already dead, they could fabricate any story without evidence.
And for the time being, Wang Chao could not find any evidence of Sheng Minghui's crimes, rendering him helpless.
Before Wang Chao could say anything, Tang Zelong smiled and said, "Lord Sikong, your wisdom and courage in handling this matter are commendable."
"Now that the truth has been revealed, we can consider this matter closed."
After speaking, he walked over to Sheng Minghui, took out the key, unlocked Sheng Minghui's handcuffs, and helped him up.
Ignoring Tang Zelong, Sikong Yun stared at Wang Chao without blinking. "Mr. Wang, are you satisfied now?"
