Looking at the dead assassin, Wang Ye calmly took out his phone.
“Hello, is this Chief Instructor Sun? It’s me, Wang Ye. It’s like this…”
Having a backer made things easy.
The rescue team belonged to the Evolution Camp, so Wang Ye naturally looked for someone with real power in the Evolution Camp.
Who knew if the base defense division would take no heed of the rules and arrest him first? It was not impossible for Yu Hanchao to take the opportunity to hit him when he was down.
Being steady was definitely right.
“Hi,” Wang Ye greeted the internal patroller who had rushed over.
The latter looked at the complicated situation and was a little stunned for a moment.
It was Wang Ye who reminded him to quickly call his superior, an intermediate internal patroller, to come and deal with it.
Wang Ye couldn’t possibly leave now. Otherwise, wouldn’t it seem that he was guilty and fleeing from punishment?
Yu Hanchao was probably waiting for him somewhere.
Wang Ye wasn’t that stupid.
After a while, the vehicles of the base defense division arrived one after another.
The department head and deputy department head of the internal patrol department arrived one after another. The internal patrollers around them had solemn expressions as they sized up Wang Ye from afar.
In the base city, it was rare to see internal patrollers die in the line of duty, especially due to murder.
“Deputy Department Head Yu, why are you here?” Department Head Xu of the internal patrol department was surprised.
Yu Hanchao was quite famous in the external patrol department for his strong abilities and an iron fist. He was a strong candidate internally to be the next department head, and his career was bright.
“I happened to be nearby. 1 heard that something happened here, so I came over to take a look.”
Yu Hanchao was wearing a Glow Combat Suit and a pair of black boots. He looked coldly at the crime scene and glanced at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye smiled.
This was his first time meeting the other party. It seemed that the latter was a ruthless wolf.
If it wasn’t for his special identity, Yu Hanchao would probably have done the deed himself.
“Is he the one who killed the internal patroller? Why aren’t you arresting him?” Yu Hanchao looked at where Wang Ye was, and his eyes flashed.
He thought Wang Ye would return to the camp first.
If that happened, he would have the opportunity to kill Wang Ye in the name of resisting arrest.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get his wish.
“We’re still verifying the identity of the internal patroller. According to him, this may not be an internal patroller, but someone who borrowed the identity,” Department Head Xu explained.
“Are the results of the investigation out?” Yu Hanchao frowned.
“It’s still ongoing. It won’t be that fast,” Department Head Xu shook his head.
“No matter what, let’s arrest him first,” Yu Hanchao looked at Wang Ye, “There are so many people watching. If the internal patrol department doesn’t do anything, I’m afraid we’ll lose face.”
Department Head Xu thought that it made sense.
However, before he could give the order, a battalion car with the logo of the guardian department sped over.
The tires splashed red rain as the car door opened with a click. A middle-aged man with a kind smile slowly walked out.
“Director Huang!” Everyone, including Department Head Xu, bowed respectfully.
The director of the base defense division!
“Why are you here?” Department Head Xu smiled and went up to him.
“I’m just here to take a look,” Director Huang looked around while smiling.
Soon, his gaze landed on Wang Ye and he narrowed his eyes, “How are things going now?”
“The identity of the murdered internal patroller is still being verified,” Department Head Xu said seriously, “We plan to arrest Wang Ye first.”
ii
It’s against the rules,” Director Huang rejected.
“Why?” Department Head Xu was puzzled.
“He’s a member of the rescue team. We don’t have the authority to do so,” Director Huang said, “It’s fine if you arrest the right person, but if you wronged him, Xia Wuguang… Tsk, you can’t afford the consequences.”
“Director Huang, you have misunderstood. I’m just going to bring him back to the base defense division to help with the investigation,” Department Head Xu said, “After all, we’re on the streets. All this will damage the image of the internal patrol department.”
“Xiao Xu, right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. Don’t think so much about your reputation” Director Huang said earnestly.
“Yes, Director Huang,” Department Head Xu nodded.
Seeing Director Huang appear, Wang Ye knew that he was safe.
He had seen the other party during the rookie trial. Chief Instructor Sun must have asked Director Huang to come first because the journey was far.
That being said, he wasn’t afraid of any trouble. In any case, he still had a backup plan.
He had to take things slow.
The good show would only start after everyone was in place.

Two hours later, the West Camp’s military vehicle stopped by the roadside, and three people got out of the car.
The one in the middle was Chief Instructor Sun, the one on the left was Head Instructor Li, and the one on the right was a spiky-haired youth that Wang Ye had never seen before.
The youth was wearing a gaudy combat suit, and his hair made him even taller than Chief Instructor Sun.
Chief Instructor Sun shook hands with Director Huang and exchanged a few words before asking Department Head Xu, “Has the deceased’s identity been verified?”
“There’s no such person.” Department Head Xu shook his head. “His identity information isn’t registered in the Huaxia Evolver Management Center.”
“Is he not a Huaxia Evolver?” Chief Instructor Sun frowned.
“He could be a lone Evolver in the wild. Since this matter has nothing to do with the internal patrol department, 1’11 leave Wang Ye to the internal investigation of the Evolution Camp,” Department Head Xu said.
“Alright.”
Wang Ye was leaning against the cafe and chatting with the female employee. The latter giggled.
Suddenly, he saw the spiky-haired young man who came with Chief Instructor Sun walking toward him.
The other party’s small eyes scanned him from head to toe, giving Wang Ye a strange feeling.
Could this guy have some special fetish?
“Hey, kid, did they bully you?” The spiky-haired man suddenly said.
Huh… This overbearing CEO style…
“No,” Wang Ye shook his head.
“If they did, just say it. I’ll stand up for you. Let me introduce myself. Xia Wuguang, the captain of the No. 7 elite rescue team in the West Camp. You are one of my men from now on.”
“Can I refuse?” Wang Ye thought to himself.
An overbearing captain who was overly friendly. He was quite protective of his teammates, though.
“Aren’t you afraid of protecting the wrong person?” Wang Ye looked at Xia Wuguang.
“Tsk,” Xia Wuguang snorted arrogantly,” Those guys who fight with each other all the time don’t know anything. How can there be bad guys on the rescue team? If one wanted to fight for fame and fortune, one wouldn’t have joined the rescue team.”
Stop, Wang Ye felt as if there was a halo above his head.
“The investigation results are clear. It’s a fake internal patroller,” Chief Instructor Sun walked over and gave Wang Ye a meaningful look, “It’s settled. Go back to the camp first and wait for the follow-up investigation report.”
It’s not a big problem,” Chief Instructor Sun added.
Wang Ye laughed it off.
He looked at Yu Yu Hanchao, who was chatting with Director Huang, and suddenly said, “That person looks familiar.”
Familiar?
Chief Instructor Sun was slightly surprised, “He’s the Deputy Department Head of the external patrol department, Yu Hanchao. Have you seen him before?”
Wang Ye thought for a moment before saying, “No, it’s my first time seeing him, but…”
He dragged his words and frowned. Suddenly, Wang Ye’s eyes lit up and he said, “It’s him! It’s him!”
A question mark appeared above Xia Wuguang’s head.
“Demonic humans!” Wang Ye stared at Yu Hanchao and said hurriedly, “Four days ago, on the morning of the 8th, I killed two demonic humans who kidnapped Anabella when I was training in the north of Encampment No. 3. Then, a car drove in. It should be the person who contacted the demonic humans. The person I saw in the car… Looks like him! Scratch that, it is him!”
Chief Instructor Sun was surprised.
Xia Wuguang’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Head Director Li was even more shocked.
Yu Hanchao, who was not far away, seemed to feel that something was wrong. He turned around, his eyes filled with puzzlement.
?
An hour later, a black car was parked by the roadside.
“Yes, he does look similar…”
Anabella, who was summoned, took off her sunglasses and looked at Yu Yu Hanchao through the car window. She bit her lip and looked a little scared. It seemed that she wanted to say something but hesitated.
“What are you afraid of? Say what you want to! If he dares to take revenge, 1’11 break his legs!” Xia Wuguang shouted.
Vulgar!
But he liked it.
Wang Ye glanced at his superior and then at Anabella.
Their eyes met and he nodded.
“Very similar, it should be him…” Anabella’s voice was weak, “My vision isn’t as good as an Evolver’s, and 1 was too scared that day… But from the side profile and body shape, they look similar. 1 really don’t know anything else.”
Act, continue acting…
Wang Ye quietly admired Anabella’s acting skills. Who said that her acting skills were bad?
“I see. Thank you for your cooperation,” Chief Instructor Sun stood up and shook hands with Anabella.
“It’s my duty,” Anabella smiled.
The three of them got out of the car one after another.
Wang Ye was pulled back by Anabella.
A fair hand stretched out with slender fingers.
“Phone number.”
“Be careful of scandals,” Wang Ye turned on his phone and glanced at her.
“My life is about the line. Why would I be afraid of scandals?” Anabella smiled and quickly added Wang Ye as a friend, “Should I call you Li Fengnian or Wang Ye?”
“Whichever you’re pleased to.”
“No! It wasn’t me!” Yu Hanchao widened his eyes in disbelief and shook his head like a rattle drum. “How could I possibly collude with demonic humans!”
When he heard the news, Yu Hanchao was stunned and felt as if his mind had exploded on the spot.
Demonic humans? Those were the mortal enemy of Evolvers!
Huaxia had been investigating the collusion between Evolvers and demonic humans strictly because many of the demonic humans’ equipment and weapons came from Evolvers.
Once one was proven to be colliding with demonic humans, it would be a death sentence!
“He framed me! Wang Ye! He framed me!” Yu Hanchao gritted his teeth, his eyes wide with anger.
“Isn’t this the first time you’ve met him? Why would he frame you?” Chief Instructor Sun asked while Director Huang looked at him with a serious expression.
“I…” Yu Hanchao was speechless.
If he admitted that he had a personal grudge against Wang Ye, he would be in trouble today.
But whether he admitted it or not, it would be hard to wash himself clean of Wang Ye’s accusation.
“Director, please believe me! I really don’t know any demonic humans!” Yu Hanchao was anxious as he racked his brain, “Right! You can check the surveillance cameras, track my whereabouts, and check-”
Thud.
Yu Hanchao’s face turned pale. He suddenly understood Wang Ye’s purpose.
Although he did not collude with demonic humans, he had done many illegal things behind their backs.
No matter how flawlessly those deeds were done, there would definitely be traces left behind. He couldn’t afford to be investigated!
“You don’t need to tell us, we will naturally investigate,” Chief Instructor Sun looked at Minister Huang.
“Suspended for investigation,” Department Head Huang made his final decision.
Yu Hanchao felt his vision turning black as his face turned ashen.
He was finished..
