LORD OF END OF WORLD

166-170

Chapter 166

After receiving the news, Bai Hong didn't mention how much grief and hatred she endured for agreeing to exchange hostages in Pu'an County. In Ningcheng, Father Gong was sitting alone in his office, staring at a pile of interrogation reports in front of him.

Looking at the interrogation report again from beginning to end, Gong Yuanhang slumped back on his chair and sighed heavily. The result of the investigation from last time had come out. Because it was related to the safety of Ningcheng, everyone actively cooperated. What they've seen and heard for the first half a month, as long as there was even a little suspicion about it, was told to the investigation team without foregoing any detail. They've vowed to find traitor as soon as possible and return Ningcheng to its once peaceful self.

Having been in the same boat for so many years, everyone had become close to each other regardless of who they were. But because there's such deep feelings, they were more intolerant of betrayal. In the past two days, because of the existence of a traitor, there has been a clear separation and suspicion among the people of Ningcheng. This unstable atmosphere had spread throughout the base, causing panic and rumors. Everyone disliked a traitor and gatherings and brawls started happening from time to time. The base's order had never been so chaotic.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the people in the higher level of command unanimously decided to investigate this matter to the end and give the traitor the harshest of punishment to warn future generations.

Now that it was a society no longer ruled by laws, the people of Ningcheng needed to have their own rules. For this betrayal, the person would have his abilities abolished, they would be sent to the laboratory to be a test subject and would also be lashed and exposed for three days. Although the method was cruel, it was very suitable for the current situation. In this so-called chaotic world, Father Gong didn't feel anything wrong with this. However, looking at the report in front of him, for the first time, he felt exhausted and powerless.

Why was this person his own daughter? Gong Xiangyi? Why did she always let him down when he thought she changed a little? His heart hurt. Father Gong covered his chest and groaned. After a moment, he told the guard outside the door, Go and call Gong Xiangyi over."

It was a matter of trust that brought the results of this investigation. He can't betray their trust. This matter, he must get an explanation for it.

"Dad, what's the matter?" But within a few days, Gong Xiangyi lost a lot of weight and looked paper thin. Witnessing the deep hatred of betrayal from the people of Ningcheng with her own eyes, she was worried and felt sleepless every day making it so that she had not slept for three consecutive days.

"This is the investigation report that the captain of the Self-Defense Force has just submitted. Would you like to see it?" Father Gong pushed the material in front of her.

Gong Xiangyi's pale face became even whiter. She glanced over it in panic, staring at the material before her. She looked over the information, quickly read the inquiry record above and her fingers trembled as she held and turned the pages.

Father Gong's voice became more and more severe, like a sharp knife directly plunging into Gong Xiangyi's heart. She slowly pushed the information back onto her father's desk and said with a numb voice, "Dad, I'm sorry. That person, I brought him in."

"Why?" Father Gong asked, raising his brows. He really couldn't understand his daughter's thoughts. He hurriedly brought in a stranger and the other party was from a base that was hostile against theirs. What was she thinking? Was she brainwashed?

"Because in the future, he will die to save me." Gong Xiangyi lowered her head and said with a numb voice.

"Another prophecy! How long do you want to indulge in those illusions? He's a person from Liaocheng who's incompatible with us. What position does he have to be able to save you? Just because of an illusion, you can abandon your brother. Because of an illusion, you can betray the clan. Do you have not have the ability to judge things yourself? Ah?!" Fahter Gong slammed the table repeatedly.
