Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 577 - 560: Gathering Together

"She wanted more money, what to do? Fraud, under the guise of treating her victimized daughter, swindled a huge sum and then fled abroad."

"As the truth slowly came out, those fools who supported her realized they were duped, crying out for justice, calling the police to arrest her."

"Too late."

"My father was devastated by this, took me away from that place, and shortly after, passed away."

"I still remember my dad’s words: ’I thought she came to learn baking, but unexpectedly, she came to wipe out my entire family.’"

"I sought refuge with relatives, beginning a life of hardship."

"Those who were swindled out of money still have no recourse."

"Those people who persecuted my family with righteous indignation back then still refuse to admit their mistake."

"Those soft-hearted patrols, those seemingly just inspectors, have long forgotten."

"So, when Zhou Leng was falsely accused without evidence, I was filled with rage."

"I was too young back then to do anything, but now that I’m older, I can’t tolerate the same thing happening again."

"I’ve already hired hackers to investigate the identity of the one who framed her, tracking her whereabouts. If Zhou Leng is fine, everything can be settled. But if Zhou Leng is found guilty, I will, in the capacity of a Martial Artist, let the world hear the cry for justice."

A classmate couldn’t help but say, "Master Brother, don’t be impulsive, it’s not worth it for such people." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Yeah..." Everyone chimed in with advice.

Lv Yuanhao smiled slightly, saying, "Such people aren’t worth it, but for us, it’s worthwhile. Haven’t you noticed? Every time the Huang Meng Sect purges a place, the Martial Mansion there suddenly gets better. Sometimes, some people can’t understand human words, only the whisper of a blade slicing through a wound."

The crowd fell into silence, Lv Yuanhao suddenly picked up the Demonized Watch, looking down to check.

"The hacker has finished the investigation, sent me the dossier of the one who framed her, let me take a look."

Lv Yuanhao flipped through the dossier, while everyone watched each other, helplessly.

They hesitated on how to persuade him, only to suddenly notice the changing expression on Lv Yuanhao’s face.

Initially, he was wide-eyed, slightly shocked.

Then he gritted his teeth fiercely, seemingly filled with hatred.

Next, a peculiar smile appeared, as if he was so angry he laughed, or a satisfied smirk of grievance.

Finally, his gaze turned cold, his demeanor rested in calm, yet his expression still carried a faint peculiarity.

"Master Brother, what’s wrong?"

Lv Yuanhao flashed a slight smile, saying, "In this dossier, I saw the owner of that store from back then; even after nearly twenty years, I recognized her immediately. Turns out, she married someone abroad; that person’s father fell from grace domestically and hid abroad for many years. A few years ago, she returned to Dragon Country as an overseas compatriot and had her daughter admitted to Chang University."

Once the words "Chang University" were uttered, all classmates were stunned.

"Could it be..."

Lv Yuanhao nodded, saying, "Yes, the person who framed Zhou Leng is the daughter of that bakery owner."

Lv Yuanhao slowly rose, looking into the distance.

"I suddenly understood why Zhou Leng was framed because the culprit back then never received the deserved punishment, the same crime has been repeating. Some have been encouraging or even creating such evils, repeating constantly... "

"Some have forgotten, but I still remember."

"No, those people never cared, we were never worthy of being remembered, so talk of forgetting is pointless."

"It’s always been us, the ordinary people, enduring suffering in silence."

Lv Yuanhao smiled, speaking slowly, "I have Celestial Ladder’s support, soon to advance to Innate. Once Innate, I will possess some measure of crime reduction rights. When that time comes, once I’ve settled the necessary people, I will apply to guard Demon City indefinitely. Brothers, see you on the battlefield."

Lv Yuanhao walked out with large strides, like a tiger, with the power of a dragon.

"When that day comes, remember to send me a cake, a bigger one, white, fresh out of the oven, fragrant..."

On the morning of the 20th of December, Zhou Leng looked at the calendar.

Last year was spent at the defenses outside West Sea Demon City.

This year is likely to be spent in a hospital bed.

A knock on the door was heard.

Zhao Nandi opened the door, two smiling patrols and two inspectors with fake smiles stood at the door.

"Last time, we made errors, and our superiors have reprimanded us. This time, we’ll adhere strictly to judicial procedures, taking into account the patient’s identity and emotions, and won’t act recklessly, it’ll be in the hospital room for questioning."

Zhao Nandi said coldly, "If you truly want to care for a patient’s emotions, you shouldn’t be here."

The patrol sighed helplessly, "It’s been filed according to legal procedure; we have no choice but to be here; please assist, it’s our job after all."

Zhao Nandi, noticing the other’s deferential attitude, knew clearly that if obstructed, they would surely make a big deal out of it.

"Please come in. However, I’ve been dispatched by the Divine Literature General Hospital, I must be present."

"No problem, no problem."

This time, the visitors were quite accommodating.

They entered the room, sat by Zhou Leng’s bed, took out recording equipment and paper, and began questioning.

After inquiring about Zhou Leng’s personal information, the patrol asked about events from back then.

Zhou Leng couldn’t remember clearly, only recalling that time spent in the hospital.

They further questioned on various unrelated topics.

Occasionally encountering the patrol’s trap questions, he answered cautiously, leaving them no way to find any loopholes.

Once questioning was complete, the patrol stood up, stating the case is still under investigation, and they’d come again to continue questioning later.

Zhou Leng replied, "Next time, I might not have the time to deal with you, I must return to Rucheng, I will hire a lawyer to handle it."

"Sorry, Mr. Zhou Leng, under the law, you cannot leave Xiong City."

"So, you actually understand the law?" Zhou Leng swept a cold gaze over the four of them.
