Chapter 13 A Dream

That night, Li Tianran had a dream.

He dreamed that he was wearing a police uniform, looking sacred and inviolable.

Suddenly, the police uniform turned into a suit, and he walked hand in hand with Yuan Wen into the hall of marriage.

Countless scenes appeared in his dream.

Finally, those scenes all shattered and were stirred into a dark vortex, eventually swallowing him whole…

"Buzz!"

Li Tianran woke up with a start, gasping for breath, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

He calmed down for a moment, then looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was faintly bright.

Hanhan was still fast asleep.

He got up, dressed, picked up the application form that had already been filled out on the table, and walked out of the small building.

He planned to send the application form over now, so he could get back in time to make breakfast for Hanhan.

A biting cold wind blew in the morning, and Li Tianran opened the gate of the farm. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a large, withered tree a few meters away.

In the faint morning light, the tree appeared ashen, but some ropes were wrapped around its trunk, as if something was tied to it.

Li Tianran's heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason.

He summoned two adult-level Battle Man to come with him and walked towards the tree.

As they got closer and closer, Li Tianran saw that the thing tied to the tree was a human-shaped outline!

It was a person!

Li Tianran's brow twitched wildly, and his hands trembled slightly. He felt that the person's shape was somewhat familiar!

"Is... who is it?" Li Tianran muttered in a trembling voice. He strode over, muttering, "No... please, no!"

Finally, he saw clearly the face of the person who was tied to the big tree and had already lost their vital signs in the cold wind.

Li Tianran felt his head buzz, his body stiffened, and he stood there, unable to move.

It was like being struck by lightning!

...

Hospital.

A dark-faced military policeman strode over with an interrogation report in his hand, his face extremely gloomy. He said to Yuan Wen, "That woman finally confessed!"

Yuan Wen was overjoyed. The doctor had informed her this morning that she could interrogate the Jin Lian woman.

She sent the dark-faced military policeman to interrogate her, thinking that she would encounter great resistance from the other party, but she did not expect to get her confession so easily!

But she immediately noticed the other party's expression, which was very ugly, and did not look like the joy of a successful breakthrough.

She had a bad feeling and asked, "The confession doesn't match the evidence we have?"

"The other party admitted that most of the people in those accounts we have were involved with her, but there are only two people she refuses to admit..." The dark-faced military policeman gritted his teeth and said, "She even said that she had never met these two people at all!"

Yuan Wen's heart sank. She had already guessed who these two people were, but she still asked, "Li, Guo?"

"That's right!" The dark-faced military policeman said angrily, "I told her that Li and Guo are in dire straits and no one has the ability to save her. I really don't understand why she would rather give up the opportunity to confess and perform meritorious service than to protect these two people!"

"..." Yuan Wen's face was gloomy, and she strode towards the Jin Lian woman's detention room.

Bang!

Yuan Wen pushed open the door and saw the pale-faced Jin Lian woman on the hospital bed. Her hands were locked to the bed with handcuffs, and two military policemen were guarding her.

Seeing Yuan Wen walk in, the Jin Lian woman actually showed an unspeakable smile on her face.

"Why protect those two people? Just because of their special status?" Yuan Wen went straight to the point without beating around the bush: "I can tell you something, you are the principal offender in this case and you will not be cleared of suspicion at all. Don't dream that they can save you after they are protected."

"On the contrary, if they are protected in this case, you will be the biggest fish in the case and you will definitely die!"

"I don't know what they promised you, but I'm telling you, those are impossible to achieve!"

Yuan Wen spoke sternly, staring at the Jin Lian woman in front of her, and bluntly stated the facts.

The Jin Lian woman listened to Yuan Wen's words, and a hint of self-abandonment appeared in her eyes. She grinned and smiled, "Officer, I don't know what you're talking about. I've cooperated enough with you! I've told you everything I know, but what you said about... Councilor Li, Councilor Guo, I really don't know them!"

"Although I am an unpardonable criminal, you can't use my knife to kill your political enemies!"

Yuan Wen's brow twitched wildly.

The Jin Lian woman's words were extremely devious.

She elevated the matter to a political struggle between the military police bureau and the parliament. If this confession were to spread, it would probably make everyone think that Li and Guo were arrested not because they had committed a crime, but because the military police bureau wanted to frame them!

There are rumors that the Yanhuang Association is promoting military-political integration. At that time, the power of the political and military police departments will undergo great changes. At this critical juncture, if such a scandal is exposed, then the military and political departments of Nan City will be in deep trouble!

"..." A hint of murderous intent appeared on Yuan Wen's brow.

She suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked expressionlessly, "You can't think of these words on your own. Who is behind you plotting?"

A smile appeared on the corner of the Jin Lian woman's mouth. She shook her head and closed her eyes: "I've told you everything I know, and I don't know anything more... I only have one request now, please ask the Judiciary to sentence me immediately and execute me immediately."

Yuan Wen looked at the Jin Lian woman. She knew that the woman was now prepared to die.

For a person who is no longer afraid of death, it is impossible to get any confession from her that she does not want to say.

"The Political Department... this is your method." Yuan Wen laughed mockingly.

Yuan Wen suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

The enemy she was facing at this time was not just a cult, but a behemoth hidden behind the scenes!

This behemoth has the power to turn black into white and turn the world upside down!

...

Li Tianran looked at the corpse in front of him, covered in bruises. Looking at the youthful face under her black hair, at this moment, he felt as if he was stepping into a swamp full of stinky poisonous snakes, slowly drowning him.

It made him suffocate!

He stretched out his hand and tremblingly touched the other person's face. The cold touch from his fingertips told him that he was not dreaming.

The girl tied to the tree was covered in scars, and it was clear that she had suffered hellish torture before her death.

Li Tianran suddenly roared like an angry lion!

He remembered the girl's name.

That girl who looked so good when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes like the moon.

Her name was Li Ruya.

It's just that she will never be able to smile again...
