Chapter 0010: The Rampaging White Whale

If you have any objections to the final result, you may file a complaint with the Disciplinary Inspection Office within one week of receiving the result

I will report the matter regarding the train line truthfully, and I believe that the higher authorities will provide everyone with a fair and just response

The heavy wooden door of the conference room was pushed open

Is there anyone present who would like to add anything? If not, I will invite the next person to speak. The white whale looked around and, seeing that everyone was unresponsive, said: Please, the two of you, recount the events! Don't be nervous, just like him, you can go first!

The two train staff, as if granted a reprieve, stood up and bowed deeply, then left quickly without looking back

During Fan Jian's narration, Gong Yong clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes emitted a cold light. If it were not for the presence of so many people, he might have risen in anger and killed Fan Jian on the spot

What you all just said was quite enjoyable! Whether it is Liu Hao or Fan Jian, it seems you have portrayed me as a cold and narrow-minded person who is very harsh in my actions. I ask, am I really such a person?" The emotional Gong Yong once again ignored the changes in everyone's expressions. If he had been able to pay attention to these, perhaps he would not have continued to make more mistakes in his words.

Bai Jing's words left Gong Yong momentarily stunned, and they made Liu Hao's heart race. If what Bai Jing said is true and he witnessed the entire process, could the matter of the spirit tablet in the cemetery be related to him? If it is related to him, what could his motive be?

We are not clear about other matters; we only know about the events involving Mr. Liu. Although we were also at the South City Train Station, we were terrified at the time and huddled in the boiler room in fear.

The two surviving staff members from the train, Bai Jing and Gong Yong, as well as Fan Jian, were all present. There was also one person wearing a mask, respectfully standing behind Bai Jing, appearing to be a guard responsible for his safety

In total, it took half an hour. After Liu Hao finished speaking the last word, he took a deep breath.

"Good! I understand. You may take a seat, do not be nervous." The white whale rarely showed them a smile

Fan Jian, do you really think we are unaware of your little actions? It is precisely because of your little actions that Gong Yong has changed his attitude towards you

Let me describe the events that took place at Nancheng Railway Station and the discussions held between the Nancheng Chamber of Commerce and the Luyang City Chamber of Commerce prior to the commencement of the railway line construction

Please take a seat. Is there any objection from those present? If not, I invite Gong Yong to present his defense. The white whale cast a glance at Gong Yong, signaling that he could begin.

I do not wish to pursue the slander against Fan Jian, as it does not exist. However, I must submit a request for suspension and an investigation against Liu Hao to the court team. I have serious doubts that Liu Hao has been bribed by Fan Jian to collude in providing false testimony

The three individuals present were momentarily rendered breathless by the sudden pressure of the atmosphere.

With a loud "whoosh," the sound of the chair sliding echoed in the silent conference room

Faced with Gong Yong's impassioned words, Liu Hao felt perplexed. Clearly, Fan Jian was targeting him; why did he not direct his criticism at Fan Jian, but instead concentrated all the firepower on himself?

Can we assume that the malevolent spirit's interference means that there is no examination on the railway line, and that the so-called malevolent spirit leader does not exist? What he speaks of is merely to increase his merit points, preparing for his future promotion

Then, esteemed gentlemen, I shall speak! I do not know about other matters, but what Lord Liu just mentioned regarding our association and the orders given by Captain Li Si is indeed true

The issue of profit distribution from the railway line is a matter between the Luyang City Chamber of Commerce and the Nancheng Chamber of Commerce, and it has nothing to do with our Lingting team in the town. My duty is to safeguard the stability of the region and to expel any malevolent spirits.

Once all the questions have been asked, I will provide an evaluation based on the content of the responses. This evaluation will be sent to the department head for the final decision.

Gong Yong may have truly become accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing; he did not notice that, apart from the two ordinary individuals present, everyone else, including Fan Jian who was narrating, had noticed his expression

As the door to the conference room closed once more, the white whale pressed his hands on the table, stood up, and a powerful aura emanated from him

"You two may leave first," the white whale gestured politely to the train staff.

Alright, everyone disperse! Liu Hao remains.

Liu Hao stood up, nodded slightly, organized his thoughts, and began to speak slowly according to the requirements of the White Whale. His enunciation was clear, his pronunciation standard, and the narration of events was devoid of subjective consciousness, entirely presenting an objective reenactment of the situation. Of course, the matter concerning Cao Cao was to be kept confidential

Looking around, I waited for ten seconds. "Alright, since everyone understands, I will start with Liu Hao, who is responsible for the exorcism task. Liu Hao, please stand up and recount in detail what happened on the train and what you experienced after arriving at Nancheng Railway Station."

Everyone related to the train line is now present. I will ask questions one by one according to the procedure. The person being questioned must answer my questions truthfully; if the answer is not truthful, others may immediately point it out.

Do you all understand what I am saying

Secondly, I sincerely thank Liu Hao and the two of you for your fair and just words

Fortunately, the momentum did not last long. After a moment, the white whale shouted loudly: "We, the Spirit Guardians, bear the heavy responsibility of maintaining peace in the world. Some of us are chosen from ordinary people, while others are selected from families, but regardless of which, from the moment they become a member of the Spirit Guardians, they must let go of the past and dedicate themselves entirely to the Spirit Guardians"

"Clang", "Creak"

Gong Yong, please be mindful of your words. I will take note of what you say, but there is one point I must clarify to you. The matter of the commander-level evil spirit is indeed true. Just last night, Liu Hao experienced another battle, and I happened to witness the entire process. During his fight with the elite-level evil spirit, the evil spirit explicitly stated that he was sent by the commander.

Team Leader Bai, you must remember my words and ensure that Section Chief Wu is aware of this person's insidious nature and malicious intentions

Fan Jian's narration was much longer, during which he also emphasized another aspect of Gong Yong's identity. By the time he finished speaking, exactly one hour had passed

Gong Yong, it was one thing to be at odds with Li Si in the past, but what about now? Why are you opposing Liu Hao? Based on Liu Hao's performance last night, you should appreciate him and promote him, rather than treating him as an enemy.

Today, in my personal opinion, apart from Liu Hao, both of you have left me feeling quite disappointed. I hope that after you return, you can reflect seriously and refrain from being self-righteous and overly clever

In contrast to Liu Hao's strictness, the tension and fear of the two of them made Fan Jian appear much more relaxed. "First of all, on behalf of the Nancheng Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank Team Leader Bai for taking the time out of your busy schedule to investigate the matter of Gong Yong abusing his power for personal gain.

A certain squad has indeed completed the mission, but it is uncertain whether the evil spirit will return. The return of evil spirits is not without precedent. The most critical question is, who exactly is the mysterious expert mentioned by Liu Hao? Does he truly exist? Currently, this remains an unknown.

Fan Jian, do you have any doubts about what they said? If not, please recount the events at the Nancheng train station. Furthermore, since it was you who initiated the application, you are also required to describe the discussions that took place between both parties before the commencement of the railway construction.

"I have been waiting for you, please take a seat!" The demeanor and behavior of the white whale were completely different from yesterday. Today, he was much more serious and solemn.
