Chapter 336 Release from Imprisonment

The conditions in the cell weren't great, but for Pei Zhiyi and the others who were used to doing missions and sleeping in the wild, it wasn't unacceptable.

Moreover, the military has no intention of doing anything to Pei Zhiyi.

It was only a temporary suspension of her communication with outsiders.

She wasn't banned from any of the offline games on the smart device.

Moreover, Gu Enling and the others were all around, so even if they didn't use the smart device, they still had things to talk about.

The military is going to deal with officials who have connections with Feng Quandao.

I had already investigated when I was on guard, but I had never interrogated anyone like this before.

When I first received the list, I was already alarmed by the number of people Feng Quandao knew; now I am even more so.

Everyone knows that Feng Quandao is a prudent person who doesn't offend anyone, so no one thought anything of it when Feng Quandao spoke to them.

Now that Feng Quandao has revealed this matter, everyone he has had some contact with is being questioned.

Even the military personnel numbered quite a few.

The association has connections to most of the officialdom, and in order to prevent outsiders from finding out, the military had to first investigate both the association members and the military personnel.

Although there is some overlap between the Ministry of the Political Department and the Ministry of the Military, the administrative department should handle the matter according to the procedure, not the Ministry of the Military. This matter has to be reported up the chain of command.

What a hassle.

Everyone is at risk.

Pei Zhiyi and the others were kept in the cell but were not mistreated. They were well-fed and cared for and did not have to worry about what was happening outside.

From this perspective, it's actually a good thing.

You don't have to worry about anything.

The final days of their imprisonment were longer than they had anticipated; almost a month passed before Pei Zhiyi and the others were finally released from the cell.

Upon emerging from the confines, Shi Min immediately received the latest news.

In the end, they caught Feng Quandao. No matter how well he had arranged things, they still managed to pull out a radish and bring out the mud, exposing a group of people.

Although the charges have not yet been determined, rumors are already circulating privately.

The charges were similar to those of the officials on planet B36, but with a few more.

Pei Zhiyi and the others also knew that Feng Quandao could not possibly be dead.

At most, all the crimes combined would result in a life sentence of deprivation of political rights and imprisonment in a prison.

"The people in charge of that research haven't shown up yet," Lu Yanxu said after listening to Shi Min's words.

Gu Enling put her hands in her pockets: "It definitely won't show itself, but it might later, for who knows what."

The Federation is currently stretched thin, needing to both appease the domestic Beta population and stabilize the border monster influx.

And that group of people happened to be lying in wait in that state.

There's nothing to do; just don't cause trouble in the current situation. The authorities don't have enough manpower to arrest people.

Xiao Chi's gaze, however, was fixed on Pei Zhiyi: "The question is, do they still intend to make a move against Pei Zhiyi?"

It's impossible to know what someone is really thinking when they're always in the shadows.

Pei Zhiyi paused for a moment and said uncertainly, "Probably not in the short term."

The fact that Feng Quandao met with her was certainly not a secret among Feng Quandao and his associates.

The kindness he showed her seemed genuine.

But to make people completely believe it, probably no one can feel at ease.

“I can’t rest easy until those Betas stop their research on mental power,” Gu Enling said, frowning.

They all know what they want to do with Pei Zhiyi.

Shi Min said, "The research department is now forced to accelerate the improvement of the way Beta stimulates mental power, but I've heard that the effect is not significant."

Pei Zhiyi also felt it wasn't that simple. If it were that easy to achieve results, Feng Quandao would probably have already created a team of elite Beta soldiers. If a breakthrough could be made in terms of gender, there wouldn't be the current population disparity.

Even if Feng Quandao wanted to deny it, he couldn't erase these truths.

“Go back and rest. At least no one will lay a hand on you now,” Shi Min said.

In the past month, the authorities have arrested quite a few people on the main planet.

They were just thinking that no one would use weapons or mechs to attack, they never imagined that Feng Quandao and his team would use a large screen.

The fact that several large screens were used without being stopped in time shows the laxity of the law enforcement officers.

Even though the investigation later revealed that the job was paid little and required little technical skill, so handing it over to Beta was a legitimate procedure and served as a warning to the authorities.

The person in charge should have the means to control things, rather than delegating everything to others.

To say that he was wronged is definitely an understatement.

After all, this kind of thing hasn't changed in just one or two years; it's always been like this. Nobody expected that someone would try to pull a trick out of this.

I never expected that my mistake would lead to such a huge mess.

The person in charge wanted to take control at the time, but found that because the matter was too minor, all permissions were assigned to the Beta subordinate who was in charge of the screen.

When the police arrived at the door, they were stopped.

This server room is located deep inside the building, connected to everything else in the building.

Logically, it shouldn't be like this, but the people below have been modifying it day by day.

It wasn't something that happened overnight; it was premeditated.

As soon as the police arrived, the people who remained near the server room made it clear that they wanted to burn down the entire server room in the building.

The situation could easily escalate into a terrorist incident, causing the police to hesitate to act.

It took a little longer.

There are countless such details, and the problems they expose are numerous.

Simply put, Feng Quandao has many Betas under his command.

The military can't possibly arrest them all.

Even if thousands of people were arrested this month alone, that's far from the truth.

The number of people capable of conducting experiments is in the tens of thousands, not to mention those who built other bases, and even those like Bai Yao, who were exposed before, have not all appeared.

Pei Zhiyi and the others really didn't have any good solutions.

It can only be said that Feng Quandao's arrest will ultimately have an impact.

As a result, most of the Beta Association's councilors have been arrested, and new councilors have not yet been appointed to fill the vacancies.

Pei Zhiyi, as the victim, couldn't care less about anything else and could only put the matter aside for now.

Because she had been imprisoned for almost a month, she was given an extra long leave this time, long enough for her to celebrate the New Year.

Lu Yanxu and the others were included as well.

Those who enlisted at the same time as them in the military have now been assigned to missions and sent out, leaving the rest of them somewhat idle.

Pei Zhiyi herself didn't care, because after she figured out the issue of her military rank, she no longer cared much about going on missions.

Lu Yanxu and the others didn't care much, as they were still the top Alphas of their age.

It's only a delay of a few months. Unless someone like Feng Quandao appears again, or another terrorist organization emerges, it's impossible for them to shake their current position.

So, without any apparent impact, they all came to Pei Zhiyi's house for dinner.

That's about it, it's almost over.

If I continue writing, I'll have to write about career development within the Zhiyi Military Department, how they manage personnel, and the outbreak of the alien beast tide, etc.

It feels like there's almost no room for further development in the romantic storyline.

They're both in the prime of their careers, so we can't write about them having kids. We can only have them in side stories. Seriously, isn't one kid each a bit too many? Four kids... when will that ever end?
