From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 351 - 259 Attack Incident_3

Lu Heng continued to ask, "When you finally made your move, what was the light computer’s assessed probability that the target would open fire? Give me the exact figure."

"68.13%. I have the data archived, but I can’t show it to them. They wouldn’t believe it even if they saw it," Yuan Yaoyao reported an exact figure.

68.13%—the probability wasn’t low, but it wasn’t 100%, so the situation was still somewhat delicate.

"The figure isn’t low, yet it’s not high enough either," Lu Heng said thoughtfully.

Yuan Yaoyao countered, "What about you? Seeing a 68% chance, wouldn’t you take action?"

Indeed, the question was very pointed.

If it were Lu Heng, knowing that there was a superpower user ahead with a 68.13% chance of shooting at his family, he wouldn’t hesitate; he’d take them out first.

Not act? Should he wait for them to shoot first?

Thus, if faced with the same situation, Lu Heng would react the same way Yuan Yaoyao did.

"I understand the situation now. I believe you, and there’s nothing wrong with your response. Just make sure next time you act within your abilities to ensure you’re not investigated. After all, we’re not living in the Abyss Battlefield, and we must adhere to necessary order," Lu Heng took the opportunity to educate the young girl a bit.

"I got it, next time I’ll definitely block the surveillance network first," Yuan Yaoyao pouted.

She then asked, "What now? Will I be put in jail?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle this. Before I sort everything out, you must not lose your temper, harm anyone, nor demolish this building," Lu Heng pointed his finger at the ceiling.

Yuan Yaoyao chuckled and said, "I was just trying to scare them."

She indeed intended to intimidate the Iron Blood people, but it clearly didn’t work.

Because Iron Blood wasn’t sure if Yuan Yaoyao really had the ability to demolish the building.

"You wait here patiently for a while. I’m going out first, remember, don’t do anything rash," Lu Heng instructed.

"Got it," Yuan Yaoyao said, appearing reluctant, yet she honestly sat back down in her chair, quieted down.

Lu Heng exited the interrogation room and walked aside with Chen Linian to discuss how to handle the situation.

"First thing, I can confirm that Yuan Yaoyao is not lying. The superpower user really intended to shoot at her father."

Chen Linian immediately frowned, "But that’s not apparent from the surveillance footage."

If that superpower user had truly aimed a gun, the light computer’s assessed probability of firing wouldn’t have been 68.13% but 100%.

The Black Feather Spirit’s light computer system concluded this by analyzing the superpower user’s eye movement, facial expressions, and muscle reactions—details that wouldn’t be captured on surveillance footage.

Hence the current dilemma arose.

Lu Heng didn’t explain the basis for Black Feather Spirit’s light computer’s conclusion, knowing that it would be hard to use as evidence.

To resolve the matter, another approach was needed.

"The girl has her special ability to predict the target’s actions in advance, that’s why the surveillance footage didn’t capture it. Anyway, if you want to solve this issue, listen to me and investigate the superpower user who was killed..."

When Lu Heng arrived, he was already suspicious, and after talking with Yuan Yaoyao, he was even more certain about the nature of this incident:

"I suspect this superpower user was hired by some forces to assassinate a quenching master, so you should investigate this superpower user’s background to see if he took on any assassination jobs targeting quenching masters.

"Also, I’m worried that more assassinations on quenching masters may happen next.

"Rather than troubling a young girl, you’d better focus on how to prevent further assassination incidents."

After hearing this, Chen Linian’s eyes widened.

If there truly were organized assassination incidents against quenching masters, the situation would be severe.

"Is your information accurate?" Chen Linian pressed.

"I suggest you contact your superiors now to check for any recent attacks on quenching masters."

Truthfully, Lu Heng wasn’t sure if the incidents were aimed specifically at targeting quenching masters.

In his last life, indeed there were cases where the Western consortiums hired assassins to attack quenching masters.

It wasn’t always about killing them; sometimes, it was just intimidation, coercing the quenching masters to work for the Lion Heart Empire’s quenching companies.

In the past, a year after the Abyss Descent, many quenching masters had left their countries to join quenching companies in the Lion Heart Empire.

It seems like in this lifetime, the Lion Heart Empire’s quenching market was under such pressure that they resorted to these despicable measures again.

Yuan Hecheng, being among the first batch of quenching masters recruited by the Quenching Castle and Lu Heng’s quenching assistant, naturally became a target.

After hearing Lu Heng’s warning, Chen Linian hurried back to his office to report to his superiors and investigate recent attack incidents nationwide.

Before long, he had the data.

In just two days, there had been three attacks against quenching masters among all the assault and murder cases nationwide.

Although not a large number, the concentration of these incidents within two days made it far from simple.

Chen Linian immediately reported to his superiors, hypothesizing that there were forces attacking, intimidating, and killing quenching masters.

Once reported, the authorities promptly responded, starting a thorough investigation into the incidents, tracking down the assailants, and monitoring potential targets to prevent new cases from occurring.

Subsequently, Chen Linian began leading a team to re-investigate the identity of the deceased superpower user, looking into his social relationships and financial status.

The results confirmed Lu Heng’s speculation: this superpower user likely had ties to foreign forces.

After confirming the superpower user’s identity as an assassin, Yuan Yaoyao was finally released upon signing a supervisory document.
