Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 793 - 303: Forgot to Tell You, We’re Streaming Worldwide
Ying Chenzhou furrowed his brow, took a bite of potato, and looked deeply at Adonis, lost in thought.
Adonis glanced around with the corner of his eye, seeing no one else, he whispered: "Everyone who joins the Eastern Alliance must pass the Investigation Bureau’s scrutiny. I know the superpower of everyone in this building."
"Twenty meters per second, that’s Su Qin’s superpower." To move twenty meters in one second, shows that Su Qin is a highly talented Speed Controller.
A superpower user like her, even if her car really went out of control and hit a wall, could escape to a completely safe place in those few seconds of the accident.
Adonis, expressionless, continued eating the soft potato, asserting: "Based on my years of experience, her real cause of death wasn’t the car crash, but she was already dead before the crash."
The car crash was merely a facade created by the hidden killer.
Someone committed murder within the Alliance Building, challenging Ying Chenzhou’s authority.
"To silently kill a member within the Alliance Building, this person is most likely an insider with suspicious motives." Ying Chenzhou immediately stood up, took a potato from the plate, and headed to the surveillance department to uncover the truth.
Soon, Ying Chenzhou obtained the surveillance footage from the time of Su Qin’s death.
Upon seeing the shadow that appeared and disappeared mysteriously, a cold layer covered Ying Chenzhou’s eyes.
The only person who could manipulate shadows in the Alliance Building was the Governor of the police headquarters, Mondez.
Why did Mondez kill his own department’s subordinate?
Was it a crime of passion, or to silence someone?

The night was deep.
In his dreams, Mondez felt unrest. When he opened his eyes, he saw a shadow standing by his bedside.
The room was dark, only the moonlight from outside spilled in. Mondez, with the faint moonlight, clearly saw the silhouette by his bed and instantly guessed his identity.
"Ying Chenzhou."
Mondez’s voice rang out, and the room lights blazed on.
He flung off the silk sheet, sat up, and frowned at Ying Chenzhou, who had broken into his home in the middle of the night, barely concealing his anger. "Ying Chenzhou, even if you are the Minister of the Security Gate and have the right to enter all the homes of the Alliance members, it should only be during emergencies!"
"Breaking into my home like this, what do you take me for! I’m a Governor of some standing, after all."
"Why did you kill Su Qin?" Ying Chenzhou wasn’t asking Mondez—he was interrogating him.
The anger on Mondez’s face froze, turning into guilt.
He got up, took a pack of cigarettes, and sat on the sofa.
Mondez smoked as if there was no one else present and said, "Ying Chenzhou, have you come to arrest me and make me take the fall for Secretary Su?" Mondez thought Ying Chenzhou was naive. "A Su Qin without background or power, her death is just a death, not worthy of me taking the blame."
"I’ll ask you again, why did you kill Su Qin?" Ying Chenzhou’s patience ran out.
Mondez was somewhat annoyed and said, "At such times, a smart person should pretend not to know the truth. Ying Chenzhou, you, an aberration risen from the slums, really think that entering the Alliance, becoming the director of the Security Bureau, makes you a wolf in the Alliance Hierarch’s hand capable of challenging me?"
"Do you believe, even if I kill you, the Alliance Hierarch would still turn a blind eye?"
Behind Mondez was the powerful Hindsen family, renowned throughout the Eastern Alliance.
The superpower families were the true rulers of this world, and the Eastern Alliance was merely an organization jointly founded by these rulers.
The so-called Eastern Alliance actually refers to the East Ocean Continent Superpower Families Alliance. And Mondez was a worker sent by the Hindsen family to the Eastern Alliance.
Someone like Ying Chenzhou, who completely relied on his ability to cross class barriers and work in the Eastern Alliance, even rising to the position of Security Bureau director, was the real anomaly.
If Ying Chenzhou died, Mondez might be implicated but he would certainly not lose his life because of it.
Facing Mondez’s threat, Ying Chenzhou seemed somewhat afraid.
He slightly flickered his gaze and pondered, "What did Su Qin do?"
Mondez smiled contentedly and said, "She seduced me into bed and then used it to threaten me, trying to get benefits from me. That’s why I killed her."
A sex scandal, in any era, is a weapon to nail a woman to the wall of shame.
Ying Chenzhou stared at Mondez, watching him for a moment without blinking before saying, "The forensic doctor examined her, and she was still a virgin."
Mondez squinted his eyes, filled with murderous intent toward Ying Chenzhou.
"Mondez, you received the death notice from the Real-Life Battle Royale, right?" Ying Chenzhou had reviewed Su Qin’s work footage from today. Around three o’clock in the afternoon, she had delivered a letter to Mondez.
Ying Chenzhou pulled out a small parcel box from his storage, saying, "This is a package from the Medicine King City of the Central Yu Alliance. I found it in the mail tray beside Su Qin’s workstation."
"Mondez, you feared Su Qin would expose your membership in the Hell Palace, damaging your reputation, losing your job, and facing jail time. That’s why you killed Su Qin to silence her."
Mondez never even cared about Su Qin’s life, nor did he consider taking away these pieces of evidence.
In the end, he was too conceited.
Thinking that even if he killed Su Qin, even if the Alliance Hierarch knew the truth, it wouldn’t matter.
He knew full well that even if the Alliance Hierarch learned he was a Hell Palace player, he would make the same choice. Kill Su Qin, then kill the arrogant Xu Xingguang, and the fact that Mondez was a Hell Palace player would never be exposed.
This way, it wouldn’t tarnish the honor of the Eastern Alliance or disgrace the Simpson family.
Mature, intelligent, and rational politicians would all do this.
But Ying Chenzhou, this anomaly, was a hard-headed person.
"Ying Chenzhou," Mondez exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, "Do you know you’re just like a sheep that wandered into a pack of wolves? Do you think the Eastern Alliance is a place of justice for the people? A haven to protect them?"
"You’re wrong." Mondez grinned, revealing a proud smile, and told Ying Chenzhou: "The Eastern Alliance is more like a company. Superpower Users are the employees, the big families are the shareholders who established the company, and you and the millions of civilians..."
"You’re just thriving like chives, we can grow you lush and plump with a bit of fertilizer. But with a light wave of the knife, we can slice you up for an omelet."
"Ying Chenzhou, you believe in the Eastern Alliance, but you better see if you’re fit to be its devotee."
After Mondez finished speaking, he leisurely watched Ying Chenzhou.
Ying Chenzhou pressed his lips looking at him, and after a while, he finally said: "I forgot to tell you, we are currently broadcasting globally live."
