Chapter 423: From Hope to Disappointment
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just as Mo Chu had expected, Lan Lian’s current situation was indeed not that wonderful!
Zhong Wen had always handled matters cleanly and neatly, and this time was naturally no exception.
Hence, after receiving the information Zhong Wen had handed over, the Dark Ocean Galaxy Office did not dare to delay at all and immediately launched an investigation. As a result, this investigation… Ouch! Naturally, it was traced back to Lan Lian.
This time, the people from the office could not help but feel troubled.
Tell me, whether it was Zhong Wen or Lan Lian, they could not afford to offend them!
After struggling for a long time, the people from the office still couldn’t make a decision. In the end, they could only report the matter to the higher-ups.
Great! These few great characters should be handed over to the higher-ups. They were little shrimps that should not get too involved!
On the other side, the higher-ups of Dark Ocean Galaxy’s immediate family had just received the news. Before they could make a decision, they realized that the situation had already spread out silently. It was like a spark that instantly set a prairie ablaze!
The rapid speed of the rolling fireball made it impossible for them to stop it. They could only watch as this matter became more and more intense. In particular, the action of Exalted Chen Bai and Exalted Su Yuan holding a joint statement was like pouring hot oil on this ball of fire!
For a moment, ‘Wisdom Cloud Galaxy bullies people’, ‘Dark Ocean Galaxy Galaxy does nothing’ and other headlines quickly occupied the hot lists of all the major galaxies.
At this point, could Dark Ocean Galaxy still remain silent?
Obviously not!
Hence, Lan Lian was in a tough spot.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, the people from Dark Ocean Galaxy’s office came to the door in unison. Without saying a word, they directly cuffed her away.
At the start, Lan Lian was quite arrogant. With her status in Wisdom Cloud Galaxy, what could happen to her? At most, she could only give a few words of reprimand, as long as she did not lose face.
If it was in the past, this would probably be the case. However, in this case… it was different!
Not to mention that the people from the other galaxies were watching with relish, just the Federation alone would not be able to easily bypass it… under the pressure from all sides, the people from Dark Ocean Galaxy still dared to play favorites?
After that, Lan Lian spent an unforgettable night in the detention center..
Actually, no one really did anything to her. However, the detention center was not the best place to stay at?
Lan Lian’s treatment was considered good. She was given a separate room and did not have the chance to meet those cruel and disgusting ‘roommates’. However, even so, she was still tormented by them!
The handcuffs were locked on the door sill of the room. If she sat down, her hands would be forced to straighten, and in less than half an hour, her hands would be sore beyond recognition. If she stood, her hands would not be tired, but she could not stand it. The drowsiness was surging up!
In addition, most of the rooms in the detention room had not been cleaned, and there was always an unspeakable musty smell. The room was dark, and from time to time, there would be a few screams!
…
A night passed.
Lan Lian was still awake.
Upon a closer look, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked extremely haggard. Where was her previous charming and charming posture?
However, this was not the end.
Since they had caught the person and had evidence, they naturally had to be convicted and sentenced.
Malicious assault — this was a serious crime crime no matter which galaxy it was!
Even at this moment, Lan Lian was still fixated on her identity, and her attitude was still as arrogant and willful as before. As soon as the handcuffs were removed, she immediately reverted back to her original state.
First, she glared fiercely at these few staff members, and then she raised her chin slightly, looking extremely arrogant. “Bring me a glass of water!”
The few staff members next to her looked at each other, held back the smile on their lips, and brought her a glass of water. “Here!”
Lan Lian had just taken a sip when she frowned.
With a puff, she spat out all the water in her mouth onto the ground!
“What the f*ck are these things?” Lan Lian said in disgust. With a wave of her hand, she poured all the remaining hot water in the glass onto the people next to her!
These staff members were all experienced, so their reaction speed was naturally much faster than Lan Lian’s. With just a slight turn, they had dodged the attack of the hot water.
However, their expressions could not help but darken!
So this Young Miss actually thought that she was at Wisdom Cloud Galaxy?
“Let’s go, today is the day of your investigation.” The staff member who was almost drenched in hot water glanced at her coldly, his tone slightly cold.
… investigation?!
Investigation about what?
Lan Lian’s movements could not help but falter, and her small face turned around. “Don’t tell me… You guys aren’t planning to release me?”
“Hehe!” Hearing that, the staff member suddenly sneered. “Don’t you see how serious the situation outside is? And you’re letting you go? How imaginative!”
They were all people in this circle, so they knew what they should know very well.
Logically speaking, if Lan Lian’s incident happened in the Wisdom Cloud Galaxy Galaxy, she could have easily suppressed it with the power behind her. Everyone would just turn a blind eye and pretend not to know anything.
Who asked this girl to be so blind? She had to play tricks here!
One had to know that this was not her base of operations, but the Dark Ocean Galaxy Galaxy!
She dared to bump into other people here and be so brazen about it, was that not equivalent to ripping off Dark Ocean Galaxy’s face and trampling it under he rfeet? Would the higher-ups of Dark Ocean Galaxy be happy?
Moreover, in just a few short days, the nature of the matter had already taken a leap.
It was unknown when it had started, but someone had suddenly revealed that ‘the people of the Wisdom Cloud Galaxy were bullying the people of other galaxies’. Moreover, it had been said in such a way that it was eye-catching. When everyone noticed it, this kind of news had already already spread far and wide, and a large number of victims had also emerged.
Naturally, Lan Lian had become the representative of this kind of hegemonism. Those who had been treated unfairly in the past could only watch helplessly as she was investigated and sentenced!
For a moment, this matter was hyped up to the point that it was boiling.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was definitely a mastermind behind this matter. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that so many oppressed people appeared as soon as Lan Lian was investigated?
However, knowing was one thing. No one would stupidly say it out loud.
As for… Lan Lian, don’t even think that there would be anyone who could save her. With the general trend and the popularity of the people, she had no choice but to be the victim.
When Lan Lian finished digesting the whole thing, she was stunned for more than half an hour.
When the staff member dragged her to the tribunal, she suddenly burst out. The power that was suppressed by the drugs had mostly recovered. She threw fireballs at the staff member one after another, “What are you doing? Get lost! Get lost!”
Lan Lian knew better than anyone else that if she was really brought to the interrogation court, she would be done for!
… A woman who had been sentenced and punished had no value at all. She would only be abandoned mercilessly!
Lan Lian’s talent was not bad. Otherwise, she would not have been chosen to participate in the 100-year Galactic Combat. Plus, everyone was caught off guard, so she managed to make a hole to escape in!
She slipped out of the room.
“Catch her!”
“Quick, block her from this side!”
“Guards outside, pay attention, the suspect from P112 is escaping. Open the door quickly!”
The detention center was thrown into chaos.
If Lan Lian escaped right under their noses, they would not be able to explain themselves. They would have to give up their jobs as well.
…
Run, run!
Hurry up and run!
As long as she escaped, she would be saved!
Lan Lian bit her lip. She never thought that she would end up like this.
Besides, she only bumped into a Drive Machine, right? Mo Chu, Xie Chunxi, and the rest fine, right? They were not even dead or injured. What right did they have to capture her?
The unwillingness and anger in her heart grew stronger, but her facial features became more sensitive. Damn it!
Looking at the few people from the detention center who appeared at the corner in front, Lan Lian could not help but curse in a low voice.
She quickly turned around and hid behind. After seeing the people in front leave, she carefully walked out. After confirming that it was temporarily safe, she started to run.
…
In front of her was the gate of the detention center.
Lan Lian’s eyes suddenly burst out with a fervent light!
There were only two, three… five people at the entrance. As long as she could take down these five people, she could use the connections she had left here to quickly leave Dark Ocean Galaxy.
Even if she really wanted to be convicted, she could totally find a substitute to replace her!
That’s right! Lan Lian slightly clenched her fists, her mind gradually cleared up… The most important thing now was to leave this place immediately! Only by leaving this detention center could she contact Wisdom Cloud Galaxy’s people and have a chance to escape the trial!
Taking a deep breath, Lan Lian strode forward and stared at the people at the door with burning eyes!
“Hello, we meet again.” Suddenly, a few people came in and blocked Lan Lian’s line of sight at the door.
When she looked up, Lan Lian’s face suddenly darkened. These people… why did they suddenly appear here?
“Zhong Wen!” Without a doubt, Lan Lian gritted her teeth when she called out this name. She wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh!
“Don’t be agitated.” Zhong Wen waved his hand, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
As he waved his hand, the people behind him immediately spread out and surrounded Lan Lian, not giving her any way out!
Lan Lian’s eyes were red, “Don’t go too far!”
“This can’t be worse than what you did.” Zhong wen laughed lightly and said, “How is it? How does it feel to go from hope to disappointment? Isn’t it fun!?”
“Tsk tsk, if Boss didn’t ask us to let you escape on purpose, to let you experience this, do you think you would be able to get here?”
The Dark Ocean Galaxy’s staff were not so lousy. Without the Boss at the back to add fuel to the fire, Lan Lian would never have been able to get this far!
