I lent my brother 500 yuan, and he offered his wife as collateral.

……

The forced transfer array pattern lit up.

Su Lie subconsciously took a step forward.

Qin Feng raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't enter the formation."

"If we don't stop them, they'll be taken away."

"Let Qingxue do it herself."

Su Lie turned to look at Su Qingxue.

She neither retreated behind Qin Feng nor left the range of the array patterns.

Instead, she voluntarily entered the public reading area.

The forced transfer array followed her movement, and the locking range became smaller and smaller.

Zhuo Heng thought she had given up resisting, so he immediately activated the control order.

"Candidates enter the isolation corridor."

Su Qingxue raised her hand.

"Request for verification of the presiding judge's identity."

The system transfer has been paused.

Candidates have the right to confirm the identity of the implementer before quarantine.

Zhuo Heng gritted his teeth.

"confirm."

Su Qingxue looked at him.

"First, are you still exercising coercive control over me as the presiding judge for the second phase of Fengyi's case?"

"Yes."

"Second, do you admit that you have been identified by public records as the current illegal holder of the highest-level historical life evidence?"

Zhuo Heng paused for a moment.

"The judgment is still under review and does not affect Fengyi's authority."

Please answer whether you acknowledge the current state.

The system issued a reminder.

The presiding judge must respond to the candidate's security inquiries.

Zhuo Heng had no choice but to speak.

"Acknowledge the existence of current risk markers."

"Third, do you insist on contacting the first carrier sequence candidate even before the risk marker is removed?"

"persist in."

Zhuo Heng has seen hope.

Ordinary appeals cannot override the authority of senior inspectors.

Even if Su Qingxue seizes the opportunity to exploit the conflict of interest, she can only pause for a few minutes, as the level of the Fengyi Control Order is far higher than that of the peripheral file system.

"Interrogation concluded."

Su Qingxue submitted her application.

"Initiating a conflict of interest review by the presiding judge as the first candidate in the carrier sequence."

After the system accepts the request, it only provides a standard message.

[Candidates do not have sufficient appeal privileges.]

[Unable to suspend the senior presiding judge's control order.]

Zhuo Heng took a breath.

"Su Qingxue, you have no right to refuse."

The transfer array is running again.

Seeing this, the hopes that had just risen among the surrounding merchants were dashed once again.

Although the inspection team encountered problems, Fengyi's review order remains valid.

As long as Zhuo Heng can still access the chief judge's authority, Su Qingxue will have to leave.

Qian Shao was so anxious that his palms were sweating.

"Brother Feng, where's the gray code?"

"Use it now."

Qin Feng removed the advanced access token and placed it into the public access terminal.

The gray code unfolds from the bottom of the token.

It did not directly enter the transfer array, nor did it take over Su Qingxue's candidate authority.

The first line indicates that it will first be registered under Qin Feng's name.

[The actual maintainer of the Level 1 archives has been certified.]

[A security conflict has been detected in the first bearer sequence candidate.]

[The temporary eligibility review portal is now open.]

Upon seeing the words "protector," Zhuo Heng said coldly:

"Qin Feng, you have no right to make a choice on behalf of the candidate."

"I know."

Qin Feng didn't touch Su Qingxue's self-selection section; he only submitted one application:

"The qualifications of the chief reviewer."

The gray code has been fully expanded.

[First bearer sequence emergency avoidance clause.]

Those reviewing high-risk pollution cases are prohibited from contacting first-tier candidates.

The actual maintainer can initiate a temporary qualification conflict review.

The right of temporary self-determination for candidates must be returned to the candidate and may not be transferred to a protector.

Qian Shao read the last sentence and let out a long sigh.

Qin Feng did not gain the power to control Su Qingxue.

He could only open the access point for her to review the results.

The final decision rests with Su Qingxue.

Zhuo Heng gripped the control order tightly.

"Historical cases have no right to interfere with the proceedings of the Fengyi Clinic!"

The system did not respond to his argument and immediately began the comparison.

[Candidate identity: Candidate cover bit of the first bearer sequence.]

[Candidate Life Safety Level: Highest.]

[Essential qualifications for chief examiner: No history of high-risk pollution.]

[Current status of the presiding judge: Illegal possessor of the Shen family's vital evidence.]

[Current Action: Forcibly invokes candidate control commands while the system is contaminated.]

A conflict of interest has been established.

The forced transfer array stopped.

Zhuo Heng continued to inject energy into the control command.

"I am the official presiding judge! The outer gray code has no authority to revoke the inner ring appointment!"

[It has been detected that a pollution reviewer has exceeded their authority by contacting a first-order candidate.]

[Execute emergency avoidance.]

The control order split in the middle.

Zhuo Heng's presiding judge mark was directly erased.

The shared identity terminals of the thirteen inspectors were simultaneously shut down.

[Zhuo Heng and Feng Yi, members of his group, are disqualified from serving as presiding judges for the second stage.]

[The mandatory quarantine order for candidate Su Qingxue has been lifted.]

The right of provisional self-determination rests with the candidate.

[The entire shared identity terminal of the inspection team has been frozen.]

The array patterns beneath Su Qingxue's feet receded.

A candidate's self-declaration appeared before her.

She picked up the signing pen.

At this moment, no one can sign for her.

Qin Feng cannot.

Zhuo Heng was even less likely to comply.

"I, Su Qingxue, reject this round of quarantine and investigation."

She pressed down her identity mark.

[This self-declaration is now in effect.]

[The second phase of the current review process for the Phoenix Awards has been terminated.]

The neighborhood was quiet for a few seconds.

The merchants who had retreated to a distance gradually returned to the street corner, but no one dared to get too close.

A fully-staffed senior inspection team has lost all its review authority.

There was no major battle, and no one attacked the inner ring.

From beginning to end, Su only did three things.

Provide accurate data.

Make sure the other party clearly states their responsibility for receiving the goods.

Then Su Qingxue personally rejected the polluting chief judge.

Su Lie opened the sealed box.

The guard thought he was going to take out a knife and quickly looked over.

Su Lie didn't touch his own weapon, but took out a stack of seals generated by the system.

"I know how to do that."

He walked up to the inspection team, first affixing his identification card, then his law enforcement badge.

One after another, they were pasted up very carefully.

An inspector tried to back away.

Su Lie reminded him:

"The system allowed me to post this. If you touch it again, I will apply for obstruction and seal it."

The man stopped immediately.

Qian Shao, who was on high alert, almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

After the Grand Elder learned the rules, the way he threatened people changed.

The last seizure order was placed on top of Zhuo Heng's broken candidate control order by Su Lie.

"Don't touch it."

"This thing is also physical evidence now."

Zhuo Heng braced himself against the ground, his breathing becoming increasingly erratic.

He is still trying to regain his revoked presiding authority.

Each attempt adds a new record to the unauthorized pollution record.

Qin Feng walked up to him.

Stop.

"You think you can get into the inner circle just by beating me?"

"I didn't think that way."

Qin Feng said:

"I just don't want you to touch her."

Zhuo Heng looked up at him.

He always thought that Qin Feng obtained the gray code to control candidate permissions.

Only now do I realize that Qin Feng never touched Su Qingxue's right to choose.

He simply opened the door.

In the end, it was Su Qingxue herself who refused.

Su Qingxue is checking the compensation items.

"Deposit approved, received."

"Losses due to business closure will be borne by us."

"Compensation for threat to life accepted."

"Payment for the preservation of historical evidence, accepted."

"The inspection team's commercial green channel qualification has been transferred to the Su family for use."

The system performs item-by-item accounting.

Furthermore, Zhuo Heng's private residences, old collections, and family assets that are unrelated to this case were excluded.

After seeing this, Wu Jie asked:

"He's already like this, why keep any for him?"

"I won't take anything that's irrelevant to this case."

"What if he uses that money to cause us trouble?"

"That's the next account."

Su Qingxue closed the list of irrelevant assets.

"This matter needs to be clarified now."

She looked at Zhuo Heng.

"You can set the candidate rules."

"But from today onwards, anyone who tries to interrogate me must first be reviewed by me."

A muffled thud came from inside Zhuo Heng's body.

Forcibly invoking first-order control under contaminated conditions triggers an unauthorized ruling.

His Qi Sea was sealed by the system and then forcibly crushed, and the remaining true Qi dissipated from his meridians.

Zhuo Heng lay on the ground, unable to support his body any longer.

Qian Shao closed the inspection team's asset accounts one by one, according to the list of joint signatories.

"Thirteen people, not one missing."

"No one can escape by unplugging the terminal."

At that moment, Zhou Ye's emergency communication suddenly came through.

He found a pre-set procedure among the frozen transfer orders.

The remote destruction procedure for Shen's family's live evidence has been initiated.

Fifteen minutes remaining!
