Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 58 - 57: Military Intervention

Michael’s face turned green as he listened to Roger.

The people he hated dealing with most were wily old foxes like this—experts at exploiting the Rules.

What made it even more of a pain was that Lin Xinghai had just recorded him, leaving behind incriminating evidence.

His expression flickered, but he finally said, "Filing a lawsuit is your business, but the fact remains that you trespassed into the Security Bureau."

"Guards! Take them away for interrogation. Get their signatures on a confession."

This was Michael’s turf, after all. At his command, security officers immediately entered the room.

However, facing the mercenary squad led by Roger, they were far more courteous than usual, even using the word "please." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Captain Luo?" one of the Mercenaries called out softly.

Roger, of course, understood what they meant. He knew that with a single command, his men would dare to tear the Security Bureau apart right alongside him.

But that was clearly unnecessary. Now that they had confirmed Lin Xinghai was safe and they held the upper hand, all they had to do was follow procedure.

Otherwise, they’d be slapped with the additional charge of disrupting the Security Bureau. The resulting fine would likely more than double.

"We’ll go to the interrogation room. We just need to wait for the Corps Leader to handle things," Roger finally said to the men beside him.

Then he and his men followed the security officers to the interrogation room next door.

After watching Roger and his team being led away, Michael departed, his expression grim.

He was now filled with regret. He never should have let greed blind him and listened to Huai Feifu.

’He’s just a new Mercenary. His Mercenary Corps won’t care about him.’

’I’ve already had the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps put pressure on them. The Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps won’t have time to deal with this. We just need to make it an open-and-shut case.’

’It was all fucking bullshit!’

’Lin Xinghai had been in the Security Bureau for ten minutes, tops, before his Mercenary Corps showed up. You call that not being valued?’

And from Roger’s attitude, he knew this was far from over.

As for the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps Huai Feifu had mentioned, Michael knew he couldn’t count on them. He didn’t dare to.

Right now, two things were most important: first, destroy all incriminating evidence against him, and second, contact the Morgan Conglomerate immediately.

Whenever he got himself into trouble, this was his standard operating procedure.

Michael had no doubt about the Morgan Conglomerate’s ability to clean up his messes. But their help didn’t come cheap. He’d probably have to give up all the money he’d skimmed this month just to repay the favor.

He had no idea, however, how far things had already escalated. A lowly security chief like him had become a mere pawn in a game played by the powers that be.

Michael had just gotten back to his office when he heard a commotion outside, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps heading his way.

"Hm?" He frowned, but a moment later, he was secretly delighted. ’It must be those Mercenaries,’ he thought. ’They must have gotten tired of the interrogation and started a ruckus.’

’The bigger the scene they make, the easier it’ll be for me to get out of this.’

At this thought, he put down his wrist-mounted computer and opened the door to see what was going on.

What he saw, however, was a squad of fully armed soldiers.

The officer in command closed the distance in a few short strides and slapped handcuffs on him before he could even react.

"What’s going on? You..."

Before he could finish, the officer cut him off. "Chief Michael, we’ve received a report. You’re suspected of over a dozen crimes, including embezzlement, accepting bribes, harboring criminals, and framing innocent people. You’re coming with us for questioning. And here is the arrest warrant."

Staring at the arrest warrant, Michael felt a wave of dizziness. At this point, even an idiot could see that something was terribly wrong.

The Military Department shouldn’t have gotten involved this quickly. And the list of crimes on the warrant was horrifying—this was a takedown, plain and simple. They were out for blood!

"It’s a setup! I’ve been framed!" Michael yelled. "I’m with the Morgan Conglomerate! You can’t just arrest me without cause!"

"Save it for the military tribunal," the officer said coldly. "And don’t you worry. When the trial starts, we’ll be sure to notify the Morgan Conglomerate so they can send someone to observe."

Hearing this, Michael’s body went rigid.

’Inviting the Morgan Conglomerate to observe the trial? They’re completely unafraid!’

His mind was a complete blur as his body was instinctively pushed forward. At the end of the hallway, he saw a beautiful woman with a cold, elegant air about her.

"Officer Zhang, thank you for your timely intervention," the elegant woman said.

"We should be thanking you. It was your evidence that allowed us to catch such a major parasite within the Shelter," Zhang Yue replied.

Overhearing their conversation, Michael fixed his small, beady eyes on the woman. "Who the hell are you?"

The woman, however, didn’t even spare him a glance before turning to leave.

Just then, Roger emerged from an interrogation room and called out to her, "Vice-Leader, Ah Xing is in this room."

Michael’s head was ringing. ’Did I really just mess with a rookie Mercenary?’

...

When Lin Xinghai came out of the interrogation room, the Security Bureau had been turned upside down.

The Military Department had taken complete control. The security officers were rounded up and being interrogated as if they were the criminals.

At the same time, he was met by Fang Tianhe and the others.

"Corps Leader, thank you," Lin Xinghai said with genuine gratitude.

If it weren’t for the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps backing him, it wouldn’t have been so easy to get out of this, even with the evidence he had. And he certainly wouldn’t have been able to put Michael behind bars.

"We’re all brothers in the corps. No need to be so formal. Besides, the Mercenary Corps benefited from this too," Fang Tianhe said with a smile.

"Oh? How so?" Lin Xinghai asked, his face full of curiosity.

Fang Tianhe had nothing to hide, so he explained Shen Han’s deductions and the situation with the high-ranking official.

"Handling this would have been a bit tricky, but I never expected you to have recorded your conversation with him. I submitted the recording, and the higher-ups immediately had the Military Department take action."

"Right now, the Military Department is tracking down members of the Axe Gang to collect evidence. This time, Michael will be skinned alive, if he’s lucky. As for his position as chief, he can forget it. We’ve removed a cancer from the Shelter, and we’ll get the credit for it," Fang Tianhe said.

Only then did Lin Xinghai nod in understanding.

Afterward, Lin Xinghai gave a detailed official statement. He then said his goodbyes to the members of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps and finally left the Security Bureau with Liu Miaomiao and the others.
