Chen Hao
Chapter 787 Changing Faces
In the present Federation, where numerous generals had fallen and suffered heavy losses, Liu Weiming could be considered one of the top 300 players in the national server, holding a high position and wielding considerable power!
However, at this moment, he was exhibiting an exceptionally rare display of discomposure, roaring with a tearful voice, trembling all over, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Li Tianran.
This name appeared on the A4 paper in his hand, instantly making the light, flimsy sheet as heavy as Mount Tai!
Upon seeing this name, the extent of terror in Liu Weiming's heart was even more intense than facing an Apostle of an ancient civilization!
If Liu Weiming was among the top 300 in the Federation's national server, then what was Li Tianran?
World server no. 1!
This was simply a dimensional strike!
Since Li Tianran had already arrived at the Logistics Department and signed his name on this joint letter, it meant that, regardless of right or wrong, Li Tianran wanted to protect Liang Chengsi!
And Liu Weiming's act of instructing his deputy to kill Liang Chengsi was undoubtedly courting death.
If Liang Chengsi lived, even if he ended up in a military court in the future, and the matter eventually affected Liu Weiming, then Liu Weiming would still have a small chance of surviving.
But if Liang Chengsi was killed right in front of Li Tianran, within this building… it was likely that if Li Tianran lost his temper, the entire Logistics Department would be wiped out!
As the strongest combat power of human civilization, Liu Weiming didn't think Li Tianran was someone who reasoned or cared about the law!
A long, long time ago, when Li Tianran was still very weak, he dared to judge and kill some parasites according to his own inner sense of right and wrong. Later, he went mad enough to confront the entire human world alone, making enemies of the five major powers...
Who wouldn't be afraid of such a person?
If he wanted someone to live, but that person was killed in front of him, how severe would the consequences be?
And the most important thing was that Liu Weiming didn't think he could conceal his assassination attempt; with the powerful memory-reading abilities of the Zhinai-type (AI-brain) pioneers, the mastermind behind this matter wouldn't remain a secret!
The reason Liu Weiming was confident he could stay out of it before was because there was a law within the Federation that, considering the privacy of officials and various confidential tasks, officers of the rank of lieutenant colonel and above were not subject to memory-reading by Zhinai-type soldiers during interrogation, unless the crime was exceptional, caused significant losses, or involved important secrets!
Evolutionary soldiers who arbitrarily used Zhinai abilities to pry into the minds of officers of the rank of lieutenant colonel and above would be subject to extremely severe punishment!
This was a law promoted by the Federation to protect the dignity of high-ranking officers, similar to the ancient concept of \[punishment not extending to high officials], and most importantly, in the face of extreme personnel shortages, the Federation was also providing opportunities for officers to evolve in order to reduce casualties.
Liu Weiming and his deputy had become evolutionaries a month ago, although they were the most common ancestral type, their various data capabilities had also increased significantly.
It wasn't an easy task for ordinary Zhinai-type evolutionaries to read their minds!
Moreover, if there was enough time, Liu Weiming could secretly find another Zhinai ability user to quietly modify his deputy's brain memory, completely erasing his role in this matter from his deputy's mind...
But! But!
Li Tianran didn't care about any laws!
The privileges that Liu Weiming and his deputy possessed were utterly useless in front of him. Did he need to apply to the Federation to read someone's memory?
That was ridiculous!
The thought of the consequences that would be triggered by Liang Chengsi's death filled Liu Weiming with uncontrollable fear. At this moment, he no longer cared about exposing himself and desperately shouted, "Hurry! Deputy Wang went to the security team's cell to kill Liang Chengsi! Stop him! You must stop him!"
Now, the key issue was no longer whether Liu Weiming could extricate himself.
Liang Chengsi's life or death had determined the fate of Liu Weiming and even the entire Logistics Department!
If Liang Chengsi lived and exposed the Logistics Department's affairs, Liu Weiming would at most face a military court, be dismissed, and be imprisoned!
But if Liang Chengsi died here today, the enraged Li Tianran might directly crush him into minced meat!
"Damn it, damn it... Why didn't you report in advance that Governor Li was coming here?" Liu Weiming was almost insane as he grabbed a clerk nearby who hadn't had time to leave and sternly questioned.
The clerk's face was filled with terror as he stammered, "Governor Li, just... just arrived recently, we haven't had time..."
Within this Logistics Department building, first, there was the bloody incident of Liang Chengsi shooting Wang Jian, then there was the collective resistance of the main officers against the security team, and finally, Li Tianran suddenly arrived...
The occurrence of this series of major events, especially the arrival of Li Tianran, directly caused the usually stable and peaceful Logistics Department to explode. Many staff members were stunned, their minds blank, and they didn't know what to do!
The news that Liu Weiming and his deputy received before was still conveyed to them by the security team before Li Tianran arrived!
And after Li Tianran arrived, almost all the Logistics Department personnel panicked.
Because this timing was too coincidental. Wang Jian had just been killed, and Li Tianran arrived. Coupled with the fact that the Logistics Department itself wasn't clean, the Logistics Department personnel mistakenly thought that this was a planned \[rectification campaign], so in their panic, no one dared to be the first to speak out, and no one dared to secretly report the truth to Liu Weiming!
After hearing Liu Weiming's roar, some of the Logistics Department staff also ran towards the security team with pale faces. Some people picked up walkie-talkies to try to contact the security team leader, but they didn't get a response for a long time!
Thump, thump, thump!
Liu Weiming finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and he strode towards the security team.
But at this moment, two people walked in through the door... no, to be precise, three.
Because there was another person covered in blood, who was dragged in by those two like a dead dog!
Liu Weiming raised his head and instantly recognized the identities of these three people.
Liang Chengsi!
Yu Cheng!
And the person being dragged on the ground was the deputy he had sent out to carry out the assassination mission!
In an instant, Liu Weiming felt like he wanted to burst into tears.
"Commander Liang, you're still alive!" Liu Weiming strode forward, tightly grasped Liang Chengsi's hand, and said very sincerely, "That's great! This is really great!"
Seeing this scene, the Logistics Department personnel standing nearby suddenly thought of Liu Weiming's attitude when he entered the hall earlier, and an involuntary murmur arose in their hearts.
At that time, Liu Weiming was scolding Liang Chengsi, wishing he could tear him apart alive!
And now, he was all smiles, like he had seen his own father!
Did you learn opera before?
This face change... is simply amazing!
