Chapter 138 Treason

The news that Chu Huaizhi had been poisoned unconscious by Lin Xiaohe quickly caused a sensation among the upper echelons of the Federation.

Although Chu Huaizhi's mental strength collapsed and he resigned from his position as Federal Marshal, he has become a symbol of the Federal military and enjoys immense popularity among the people.

The fact that someone could poison Chu Huaizhi to the point of unconsciousness in the First Star Ring undoubtedly put many high-ranking officials on high alert.

Today, Chu Huaizhi is the one who was poisoned; will it be my turn one day?
High-ranking officials from all sides have been putting pressure on the troops stationed at Satellite 3, demanding that it be better to kill the innocent than let one person go free!
The leader of the Iron Meteor Plundering Gang was summoned for questioning by his Federation backer and swore to the heavens: "This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Iron Meteor! It was a job that Brother Thunder and Old Black took on privately."

The Iron Meteor Gang doesn't forbid its members from taking on side jobs, mainly because forbidding it wouldn't make a difference.

If there's enough profit, they'll sell out their own commander without hesitation.

The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and hoarse: "Iron Meteor will suspend all activities until this matter is over."

"The Empire?"

"The cooperation is temporarily suspended."

Within the Federation's First, Second, and Three Star Rings, undercurrents are swirling. Many well-informed people know that something big has happened. But no one can find out exactly what has happened.

“Councilor Dong, this is not something you can inquire about.”

Brother Dong was turned down again. He smiled, thanked the other party, and hung up the phone.

His brows were furrowed, and the worry in his eyes could not hide his inner turmoil.

After arriving at Satellite 3, my younger brother sent himself a video on StarNet, his words and actions full of excitement and smugness.

However, I haven't been able to contact my younger brother and Lin Xiaohe at all these past few days!

Brother Dong stood up irritably, feeling as if a huge boulder had been placed on his heart.

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

Three people stood at the door: "Councilor Dong, we are the investigation team from the Ministry of Security. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Brother Dong's pupils contracted; something had indeed happened!

On the other end, Satellite 3, Thunderbolt Brother and Old Black were questioned separately.

"Who is the owner of the goods? How did they contact you?"

Thunderbolt's eyes were glazed over; he had been injected with an interrogation drug that paralyzed his nerves.

The main ingredients of this medication are sodium thiopental and midazolam, which can reduce the drowsiness function of the cerebral cortex, induce a relaxed and drowsy state, and at the same time, have anti-anxiety and reduce psychological defenses.

However, the side effects are significant, ranging from mild confusion and memory loss to life-threatening conditions.

The Federal Convention against Torture explicitly prohibits the forced use of psychotropic drugs for evidence collection.

But it is clear that the members of the security department did not take this convention to heart.

Thunderbolt's pupils dilated, and he spoke slowly: "All I know is that the man came from the Black Domain. He was wearing a mask and sitting in a wheelchair."

Security Department: "What is their relationship with Lin Xiaohe?"

"do not know."

"What do they want to do?"

"do not know."

The security department employed various interrogation techniques, but they couldn't extract any useful information from Brother Thunder and Old Black. The white-haired old man held a rose, admiring it closely: "All we know is that the client comes from the Black Domain?"

"Yes. After the massacre, a very small portion of the rebels wandered to the edge of the Dark Realm. Could it be them?"

The white-haired old man nodded and encouraged, "Continue."

The subordinate was very excited: "Moreover, sir, we have made a new discovery. After further analysis of the video of Lin Xiaohe at the Wasteland Grand Theater, we found that someone looks a lot like Lucas."

He opened his smart device and pulled up a photo of a masked man holding a megaphone, standing at the entrance of the grand theater.

Swiping to the right reveals that technicians used technical comparison to reconstruct the man's true appearance.

Subordinate: "The similarity is as high as 99.8%. There are rumors that Lucas, the third-in-command of the rebel organization, did not die in the explosion. What actually died was his clone."

Why would Lucas risk being discovered to warn Lin Xiaohe in the Grand Theater?
Because Lin Xiaohe was chosen by the rebels, and the rebels stood behind her!
Initially, the Ministry of Security's conclusion about this outcome was based on idealistic reasoning.

Now, every clue points to this conclusion.

Lin Xiaohe and the rebels had already made contact back on Wasteland.

Judging from the communication records of the Iron Meteor Looting Gang, as well as the interrogation records of Brother Thunderbolt and Old Black, the Phantom Grand Theater incident was a test for Lin Xiaohe by the rebels, and their initial contact with Iron Meteor.

Originally, things shouldn't have escalated to this point. But no one expected Bayard to be a madman, to deploy warships and even broadcast it live over such a trivial matter.

His subordinate's eyes sparkled; at that moment, inspiration surged forth like a spring.

After sorting through countless chaotic clues, he formed the most probable hypothesis.

This is called peeling back the layers!
"My lord, Lin Xiaohe's third Stardust mutated plant—mutated corn—made its first appearance at the Phantom Grand Theater."

“We retrieved the reconnaissance records of the special operations forces, which showed that they destroyed rebel laboratories multiple times while pursuing remnants of the rebel army. After recovering the remaining records from the laboratories, corn seeds were mentioned six times.”

At the time, both the special operations forces and the security department believed that the rebels wanted to cultivate natural corn to earn operating funds.

It now appears that the rebels have even greater ambitions.

The subordinate confidently replied, "One time could be a coincidence, but multiple coincidences must be deliberate!"

"The matter is clear: Lin Xiaohe is a member of the rebels. After she took control of the Stardust Mutant Wheat, she attracted the attention of the rebels. The rebels used the Grand Theater incident to test her. During this process, Lin Xiaohe had contact with Thunder Brother and Old Black from the Iron Meteor Gang."

"Bayad's appearance disrupted the rebels' plans. In order to rescue Lin Xiaohe, Lucas personally showed up and provided Stardust Mutant Corn Seeds."

"Lin Xiaohe's admission to the Central Military Academy was a complete accident. If the special admissions program hadn't happened, the rebels would most likely have shown up on their own. Because they had high hopes for Lin Xiaohe!"

"After successfully resolving the crisis at the Grand Theater, the rebels changed their strategy and decided to take advantage of the situation to push Lin Xiaohe into the public eye, enter the Central Military Academy, and become their deepest thorn in the side of the Federation!"

His subordinate held his head high, brimming with pride: "Justice will prevail, and good will triumph over evil. Hai Gexing's accident severely damaged Lin Xiaohe's mental strength. Even if she successfully enters the Central Military Academy, her future is ruined; she has become a discarded pawn!"

The subordinate grinned smugly and said, "What the rebels didn't expect was that our security department had sharp eyes and saw through their plot at a glance. Seeing that Lin Xiaohe was about to be killed by us, the rebels simply decided to go all the way and use Lin Xiaohe's last bit of energy to poison Marshal Chu!"

"They want to damage the image of our Federation in the eyes of the citizens. They might even turn the poisoning of Marshal Chu into an internal power struggle within the military, or even a conflict between the federal government and the military."

The white-haired old man's pupils constricted; what a vicious scheme!

"Lin Xiaohe is guilty of treason! Any act of provoking our Federation will pay a heavy price!"

　Lucas: Haha, it's already over 20 words, and I'm only now showing off?
