Chapter 728 Where on earth did Jiang Ci go?!
"Why?" Jiang Ci's icy voice rang out again in the living room.
Marshal Shi looked at him calmly, and after a few seconds of eye contact, he slowly said, "For the sake of the Apocalypse Galaxy, and for the sake of everyone in the Republican Federation... to be able to live."
"Huh?" Shi Sijin was completely confused by the subtle atmosphere of antagonism and conversation between the two.
Hey, can someone explain to him what they mean? What are they even talking about??
After hearing Marshal Shi's reply, Jiang Ci fell into a tense and dangerous silence once again.
"Pfft~ Hahahaha..." Zhong Jingfeng suddenly burst into laughter.
When he saw Marshal Shi, he thought that Jiang Ci's actions meant that the higher-ups had finally decided to settle scores, and he had prepared for the worst.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ci was completely unaware of the decisions made by those higher-ups.
There's still a chance he can be saved!
He should have expected it; those questions Jiang Ci asked him during his interrogation...
"Are you happy?" Marshal Shi looked calmly at Zhong Jingfeng, the oppressive feeling in his eyes subtle yet clear enough for the person being looked at to see clearly.
Zhong Jingfeng, who was laughing happily, suddenly stopped laughing, and his thoughts froze instantly.
Something's not right!
Therefore, Marshal Shi was actually on Jiang Ci's side.
Yes, Marshal Shi just said that Jiang Ci can do whatever he wants.
So I still have no hope of being saved?!
The glimmer of hope that had just been ignited in Zhong Jingfeng's eyes was instantly extinguished.
After successfully silencing the person, Marshal Shi calmly withdrew his gaze and resumed drinking his milk tea.
"Father!" Just then, Shi Sijin changed from her previous look of confusion and looked at Marshal Shi with a serious expression and called out.
"Hmm?" Marshal Shi looked over with a puzzled expression, his mouth full of milk tea straw.
Why is he calling me in such a serious tone? What is this brat trying to say?
"Is your sister-in-law's matter... related to you?" Shi Sijin asked, somewhat embarrassed.
He didn't want it to be true at all.
He really didn't want those people who precisely intercepted them and prevented them from going to support Bai Mianmian to have anything to do with his old father!
but!
Jiang Ci pulled that person straight over to find his elderly father, and given their conversation, it was hard for him not to think in that direction.
"?" Marshal Shi paused in his milk tea drinking, then his gaze toward Shi Sijin narrowed dangerously.
That's what that brat thinks of him!
"!" Jiang Ci looked at Shi Sijin with a slightly surprised expression.
"Oh? So what do you want?" Marshal Shi said casually.
Jiang Ci, who was about to explain to Shi Sijin, looked at Marshal Shi with even greater surprise upon hearing this, "!!"
What is he trying to do?!
Marshal Shi noticed that Jiang Ci was looking at him, but he didn't spare a single glance for him.
“You…” Shi Sijin frowned even more.
"Ah Jin, don't listen to Uncle Shi's nonsense." Jiang Ci suddenly interrupted Shi Sijin.
"Uh..." Shi Sijin, who was ready to have a good talk with her father, suddenly choked on the words that were about to come out.
Marshal Shi's nonchalant expression vanished instantly, and he glanced at Jiang Ci with some displeasure.
Ha~ Now you know to call him Uncle Shi?
Also, it's such a pity that such a rare opportunity to tease my little rascal was ruined.
Shi Sijin's gaze swept back and forth between Marshal Shi and Jiang Ci's faces. She took a deep breath, suppressed her excess emotions, and calmly stared into Jiang Ci's eyes, asking, "So what exactly are you talking about?"
Jiang Ci paused for a moment, then looked at Marshal Shi over there, only to see him drinking milk tea with an indifferent expression. "..." Jiang Ci helplessly looked away.
"Why are you looking at him?" Shi Sijin saw that Jiang Ci looked at Marshal Shi first, and immediately assumed that he wanted to ask Marshal Shi's opinion.
He immediately said with dissatisfaction, "What are you hiding from me? Is there anything I can't know?"
Shi Sijin plopped down in the nearest metal chair and said, "I'm not leaving until this is explained clearly today!"
Jiang Ci was still thinking about how to explain it to him.
He finally identified who was harming the Republican Federation, confirmed that the wormhole was indeed man-made, and that these things were even an open secret among the higher-ups.
As for Bai Mianmian's accident, he also had some clues about which faction the people who ambushed her on the road belonged to.
But after hearing what he said, Jiang Ci's desire to explain vanished instantly.
Jiang Ci pushed Zhong Jingfeng toward Marshal Shi and said to Marshal Shi, "Uncle Shi, I'm entrusting the man to you. I suppose you have something you want to know from him."
"!" Upon hearing Jiang Ci's words, Marshal Shi immediately realized that something was wrong.
Before he could speak, Jiang Ci added, "There's something else Ah Jin wants to know. Uncle Shi, please explain. I'm going to get back to work."
Upon hearing this, Shi Sijin's eyes widened as she looked at him.
But Jiang Ci turned and left without hesitation, his steps so fast he was practically activating his hovering shoes.
"You..." Marshal Shi wanted to keep the person here; he didn't want to explain at all.
After all, if those words were actually said, Shi Sijin would definitely explode.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ci couldn't hear his thoughts, and Jiang Ci didn't want to say much, so when he heard Marshal Shi's voice, he disappeared at the gate in a flash.
Shi Sijin originally wanted to stand up and follow Jiang Ci, but after noticing his father's displeased expression, he immediately sat back down after slightly lifting his buttocks.
With his father's abilities, he must know more and in greater detail than Jiang Ci.
Marshal Shi couldn't stop the man, and when he turned around, he saw his son looking at him with a look of eager interest.
Marshal Shi: "..."
"Waaaah! Waaah!" With his face slammed hard against the metal seat, Zhong Jingfeng, unable to move, could only whimper and cry for help.
Before leaving the cell on the second basement level, his body was frozen stiff by Jiang Ci's ice-type superpower.
Despite appearing no different from an ordinary person, the flesh beneath his skin had hardened to the point that he could no longer move freely.
The tense atmosphere between Shi Sijin and Marshal Shi was immediately broken, and the two looked at him at the same time.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, no one offered to help him up. Shi Sijin even impatiently called out, "Uncle Chen, take him away."
"Yes." Chen Lingchuan appeared out of nowhere, answered, then grabbed Zhong Jingfeng by the shoulder and dragged him away.
Seeing that no one was bothering him, Shi Sijin looked away and then saw Marshal Shi, who was holding a milk tea and trying to leave quietly while he wasn't looking.
Marshal Shi, who stiffened abruptly upon noticing the gaze fixed on him, was speechless.
By the time Shi Sijin learned the whole story from Marshal Shi, it was already very late.
Shi Sijin, with a dark expression, walked out of the house and immediately wanted to find Jiang Ci to ask him what he was thinking.
However, they couldn't find Jiang Ci in his office or home, and the people in the Second Legion also said they didn't know anything. They also couldn't contact him through the terminal.
Shi Sijin stood outside Jiang Ci's house, frowning as she looked up at the sky.
Where on earth did Jiang Ci go?!
