"Minister Liu, he failed to kill me… are you disappointed?" Liang Chengsi sneered, shaking off Liu Weiming's hand with extreme disdain.

Yu Cheng casually tossed the blood-soaked Vice Officer Wang at Liu Weiming's feet, staring at him expressionlessly.

Clearly, Vice Officer Wang was intercepted by Yu Cheng while carrying out the assassination. After a battle, Vice Officer Wang suffered a crushing defeat!

"When Governor Li and I arrived, we happened to see the security team taking Chief Liang away… so I quietly followed them, never expecting you'd actually try to silence him." Yu Cheng slowly spoke, pointing at Liu Weiming's nose. "You're afraid. If Chief Liang lives, he might escalate this to a point beyond your control!"

"But have you considered how you're going to handle this situation?"

Yu Cheng pointed at Liu Weiming, saying each word with emphasis, "You must die!"

Liu Weiming genuinely didn't anticipate Li Tianran's sudden arrival at the Logistics Department. His entire plan hadn't accounted for Li Tianran at all, so the situation before him now was a complete collapse!

Just then, a sound of footsteps rang out.

Li Tianran walked through the crowd, into the hall, and approached Liu Weiming.

"Governor Li, I…" Liu Weiming, covered in cold sweat, stammered, wanting to explain something, but he was interrupted directly by Li Tianran before he could even get to the point.

"Wang Jian abused his power to extort gifts from the shelter chiefs… were you aware of this?"

Li Tianran looked at Liu Weiming, expressionless, asking without a hint of emotion.

"I…" Liu Weiming felt weak all over. An irresistible pressure fell upon his mind, making him feel dizzy.

"The Logistics Department intentionally slowed down the approval process, causing varying degrees of casualties in different shelters. Were you aware of this?"

"Logistics Department staff embezzled supplies, taking the supplies originally meant for the shelters home for their own use. Were you aware of this?"

"Wartime laws stipulate that guyao (ancient medicine) grade fruits must undergo strict review before being distributed, with priority given to frontline soldiers or those within the shelters who have made significant contributions to humanity, as well as researchers… And your brother-in-law, a logistics officer in charge of a transport team, hoarded hundreds of guyao grade fruits in his office. I heard he even eats one when he catches a cold…"

"Were you aware of this?"

Li Tianran's words were like thunderbolts exploding in the Logistics Department building, and also in Liu Weiming's head!

As the highest-ranking officer of the Logistics Department, Liu Weiming didn't directly interact with the various shelter chiefs, so the negative rumors about him were far fewer than those about Wang Jian and others. But that didn't mean he was cleaner than Wang Jian and his ilk.

Because of his high position, he didn't need to personally handle these matters; he only needed to instruct his subordinates.

Like Wang Jian, if he hadn't received Liu Weiming's permission, how would he have dared to openly solicit benefits from the various shelter chiefs?

In this entire affair, Wang Jian was just a minor character, while Liu Weiming was the biggest parasite!

"I am guilty! I confess!"

Liu Weiming trembled and lowered his head. He knew very well that there was no point in arguing at this point.

Although Yu Cheng had previously yielded to the Logistics Department, he had secretly collected a large amount of evidence and incidents of crimes committed by people like Liu Weiming and Wang Jian.

Li Tianran was extremely furious after receiving this information.

And now, having received Liu Weiming's explicit admission, the anger in his heart had swelled to a terrifying level.

Because of his past experiences, Li Tianran hated these creatures who possessed power but did nothing useful!

The two former city councilors of Nan City, including the Speaker, Wang Dongchuan!

Today's Wang Jian of the Logistics Department, and the Minister, Liu Weiming!

This group of people all deserved to die!

"Good, it's good that you confess." Li Tianran patted Liu Weiming's shoulder, then suddenly said sternly, "Take him away and execute him!"

Liu Weiming was stunned.

He trembled as if sifting chaff. He never expected that Li Tianran's handling of the situation would be so simple and violent!

Liang Chengsi wasn't dead!

Liang Chengsi wasn't dead!

Why do you still want to kill me?

"Governor Li, Governor Li… I have indeed failed the Federation's trust in me, but my crime doesn't warrant death! I committed an error of authority. The Federation has specific laws for this! I demand a military court, I demand a fair trial!" Liu Weiming panicked, shouting desperately.

Liu Weiming's terrified screams echoed throughout the Logistics Department hall.

"You demand?" Li Tianran's voice suddenly turned cold. He narrowed his eyes, looked at the frantic Liu Weiming, and revealed a hint of a cold smile. "Error of authority? Not deserving of death?"

"Because of your errors, at least several hundred people in various shelters have died from illness."

"Because of your errors, the various chiefs have to go to great lengths to please you on top of their work."

"Because of your errors, a fatal tumor has grown in the entire human civilization."

"You carry countless blood debts…"

"And in this situation, you tell me… you don't deserve to die?"

Li Tianran grabbed Liu Weiming's collar and asked very seriously, "Then tell me, what kind of crime deserves death?"

Liu Weiming didn't dare to look Li Tianran in the eyes. He really wanted to retort, saying that the lives of those useless commoners weren't worth anything, how could they compare to us?

Those people, dying is just dying, it can even be considered a way to get rid of some burdens for the Federation!

Liu Weiming did think so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Governor Li, I'm still useful… I have rich work experience, I can still contribute to human civilization!" Liu Weiming said in a trembling voice, as if he had grasped the last straw, "Now the entire Federation and even human civilization are facing a shortage of manpower. Give me a chance, I guarantee I will never make similar mistakes again."

"Even if you make me do hard labor, even if you make me repair the city walls, I'm willing!"

Hearing Liu Weiming's words, Li Tianran's expression changed slightly.

"You're right… killing you like this is indeed a bit of a waste." Li Tianran smiled, patted Liu Weiming's shoulder, and said, "You are still somewhat useful."

Liu Weiming breathed a sigh of relief.

But the various chiefs of the shelters frowned.

Was Li Tianran going to let Liu Weiming go?

"You are an evolver, containing powerful genetic power in your body… I will send you to Mad Breath Island, let Xiao Hei and Da Bai swallow you for dinner, absorb all your genetic power, even crushing your bones, ensuring that there is no waste."

Li Tianran smiled very brightly: "This way, it can also be considered that you have made some contribution to human civilization!"
