Am I a crispy college student? The whole internet says that I'm hard to kill!-Chapter 436: Everything Requires Evidence
"What the hell are you saying! Do you believe I’ll rip your tongue out?"
Among these people were the family members of the three disciples who had died.
Upon hearing Wu Bin say that their deaths were due to their own fault, the one in the black T-shirt suddenly became uncontrollably angry.
These were their own children, whom they thought were just going to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea for an easy pick, just to take a look around.
They never expected it to turn out this way.
This was what infuriated them the most.
If it had been that they had failed to control this sea area, being killed by members of other organizations, they could have somewhat understood.
At least they would have had an enemy, a target for revenge later on.
But now they had nothing, and when Han Chun returned, she simply said that the people were gone.
Who could stand this?
Wu Bin had never been afraid of anyone in his life.
Seeing the finger pointing at his nose, Wu Bin said with disdain, "What’s the use of you just pointing at my nose and scolding me? I came back alive, but those three didn’t, that’s a fact."
"I didn’t understand why the three of them didn’t listen to commands and acted recklessly after they went down. But after seeing you, I think I get it now, maybe this is what ’setting an example’ means?"
"It’s precisely because of parents like you setting such fine examples that they were so disorderly and undisciplined, turning into a scattered mess once they went down."
"The place below is the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, not some park, filled with mechanisms and extremely dangerous. Did they think they were going for a stroll? Without even this basic awareness, if they didn’t die, who should have?"
Hearing Wu Bin still speak like this, she was furious.
She immediately drew the dagger from her waist and was about to stab Wu Bin with it.
"Fine, since you like to talk so much, I’ll let you have enough of it!"
From the look of it, she wasn’t joking at all; she was really planning to cut Wu Bin’s tongue off.
Fortunately, at that moment, an elderly man spoke in a deep voice, "That’s enough. We’re here to inquire about the situation, not to cause trouble or throw a fit."
"Zhang Li, put your knife away."
How could she calm down so easily while still enraged?
"Old Zhong, this kid obviously hasn’t told the truth, but no worries, I have my ways with kids like him. I have plenty of methods to make him speak the truth!"
Zhong Dongshu frowned, his expression becoming serious.
"What, now even what I say doesn’t matter?"
Upon hearing Zhong Dongshu’s words, she realized her mistake.
One must know that the aristocratic family is not just a class but a very tight-knit organization.
The offspring of the aristocratic families are often founders from the same clan; everyone in them is related, and when something happens, everyone discusses it together. Of course, the final decision is made by the elders of the clan.
Therefore, if she didn’t listen to what Zhong Dongshu said, her fate and the outcome could be quite miserable.
Seeing that she put the knife away, Zhong Dongshu then smiled and said to Wang Zhi, "I’m very sorry, Director Wang. After all, she is a child’s mother, so now after suddenly losing her child, she got a bit emotional."
In fact, Zhong Dongshu could have chosen not to intervene and let her continue to rage.
But such a scene was something nobody would want to witness.
Thus Zhong Dongshu’s intervention actually gave Wang Zhi face.
Since Zhong Dongshu had shown such respect, Wang Zhi naturally had to reciprocate.
So Wang Zhi directly looked at Han Chun and said, "So what exactly happened down there? Tell us in detail, take your time."
Han Chun had foreseen such a situation, so they had already prepared their story while underwater.
Now, hearing Wang Zhi inquire that way, Han Chun insisted that Liu Maiqiang and the other two were killed by the mechanisms.
Moreover, Han Chun gave a very detailed account, and upon hearing her description, others could even picture what kind of mechanism it must have been like.
"That’s impossible, a few of them being impulsive is understandable, but Liu Maiqiang could not have been so rash; he has always been a calm person."
They were their own children, so they knew the character and temper of their children better than anyone else.
The combination of family members this time wasn’t chosen at random.
Pay a little attention, and one would notice that their team was actually very well balanced.
Not only did they have someone as capable and stable as Liu Maiqiang, but they also had other teammates who were more assertive in nature.
It’s just a pity they provoked the wrong person, or perhaps they encountered other cultivators, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been completely without a chance of survival; at least two might have escaped.
After hearing Han Chun’s account, everyone fell silent.
Only the questioning continued.
"So you mean to say that their three bodies are now gone, and even if we go to check the mechanisms now, we won’t find any clues, right?"
Han Chun continued, "We are very sorry it turned out like this, but after all, it’s the ocean, and there were always schools of fish swimming nearby."
"Plus, they didn’t wear deep dive suits themselves, which not only made it difficult for us to communicate, but after they were killed by the mechanisms, their blood drifted away immediately, attracting the fish in the blink of an eye, so the bodies weren’t preserved."
Han Chun’s words were very reasonable, or one could say all of her explanations matched the facts and were logical.
But the people from the hidden families still couldn’t accept it.
Because accepting Han Chun’s explanation meant having to accept that the carefully selected reckless ones died because they didn’t heed warnings.

The hidden families began to discuss among themselves.
"It’s too coincidental, isn’t it too much of a coincidence? You know their abilities aren’t mediocre; Liu Maiqiang even had many life-saving magical treasures, what kind of mechanism could have trapped and killed him outright?"
Wang Zhi looked at Zhong Dongshu.
"Old friend, after listening for so long, do you have any opinions now? Feel free to speak your mind."
Zhong Dongshu naturally knew that The Ninth Institute was about evidence; as long as there was evidence, without them saying anything, Wang Zhi would personally have Han Chun and the others tied up and delivered to their door.
But without evidence, no matter how much the hidden families pressured them, they wouldn’t hand over the people.
The people of The Ninth Institute weren’t pushovers, how could they simply be manipulated by others?
Zhong Dongshu smiled and said, "Director Wang, we trust you. You will surely give us a satisfying explanation, we will head back and wait for the news."
Watching the line of people leave, Wang Zhi’s face sank.
"Tell me, what really happened, why did you kill them?"
Upon hearing Wang Zhi’s question, the faces of several individuals suddenly turned unnatural.
