What role does Chapter 222 play?
It's not that I'm afraid to see evidence of past crimes.
Rather, they were afraid of seeing evidence that Qi Mu was already dead.
But Ji Ran didn't give him a chance to escape. She didn't say another word, but simply picked up the thick file bag and handed it to him.
Luo Yesheng felt as if he were frozen solid, and for a moment he forgot to take it.
Seeing his face full of resistance to accepting reality, Ji Ran didn't mind his rudeness.
She patiently withdrew her hand, carefully unsealing the seal for him, and took out the thick stack of paper documents inside. She then stood up and placed the documents directly on his lap.
At this moment, Luo Yesheng felt as if his legs were weighed down by a thousand pounds. He slowly lowered his head to look at the cover of the document.
'Tyrant Plan'
Luo Yesheng frowned; he had heard of this thing a long time ago.
About twenty years ago, someone mentioned to him the use of biochemical methods to modify the human body in order to forge a new type of weapon.
It must be Zeng Nian...
Because information was limited at that time and technology was much less advanced than it is now, he was quite impressed when he first heard about such inhumane things.
However, given that the focus was on development at that time, and adhering to the principle of trying everything, he agreed.
However, he explicitly ordered that human experimentation should never be conducted lightly unless one was extremely certain of success, and that the bottom line of human ethics should never be crossed.
but……
What does this have to do with Qi Mu?
Is it...
impossible!
Mu'er is a commander, how could she possibly throw herself into this matter without saying a word?
Thinking of this, Luo Yesheng's expression relaxed slightly.
Having mentally prepared himself, he finally picked up the document and began to read it.
But upon closer inspection, his brow, which had just relaxed, was furrowing even more tightly.
This reformation plan was far more cruel than he had ever heard of. It was hard to imagine the hellish torment the subjects would have to endure if it were actually implemented.
It is worth noting that a large portion of the biochemical raw materials mentioned above do indeed match the first document that Ji Ran showed him.
However, the first document contained several items with complex names that were not included in the plan.
However... this plan was originally the responsibility of Zeng Nian's military camp, so it makes sense that his family might have some involvement in processing the diluted waste.
Isn't that really strange?
After all, it's the original fluid contaminated with the virus. Even if it's been treated, leaving it in an artificial river in the home is really abnormal.
It's more like... trying to cover something up.
While pondering, Luo Yesheng finally flipped through the implementation phase records, but the face that came into view made him freeze completely.
It really is...it really is...Qi Mu.
Luo Yesheng's mind went blank for a moment, as if a thousand lightning bolts had struck him at the same time.
His subconscious seemed to still be resisting, causing him to involuntarily recall the scene from that time.
At that time, his subordinates told him that Commander Qi had been out of contact for several days.
He was very anxious and sent an army to search the whole country.
His first thought was that the child was in some kind of trouble.
Because he knew that although Qi Mu was cold-hearted, he always acted with discretion.
Several more days passed, and there was still no news.
He considered countless possibilities, even panicking about whether his child had perished... But then, his subordinates presented him with evidence that Qi Mu had defected with classified information.
At that time, he didn't believe it at all; no matter who defected, it couldn't be Qi Mu who defected.
However, after some time, there was still no news of Qi Mu, but more and more evidence of his defection was emerging, and rumors were flying everywhere.
Even his own heart began to waver.
Perhaps it was because, subconsciously, he preferred to believe that Qi Mu had defected rather than feel the pain and panic that Qi Mu's death brought him.
Once you start to believe the idea that Qi Mu has defected...
He was disappointed, he was angry, and he began to doubt his judgment of people.
He began to despise Qi Mu's behavior, which brought shame to the Qi family's great achievements and slapped the trust he had placed in Qi Mu's heart.
But in the end, he was never able to publicly announce the crime.
So he directly abolished the existence of the leader and concealed all traces of the Qi family.
He had always justified this behavior as protecting the reputation of the Qi family and upholding his dignity as the head of state who had trusted the wrong person.
But now... reality tells him that the truth is completely different, so how should he face his actions?
The impact on his heart was so great that he lingered on that page for a long time.
After recovering, he turned to the next page.
Ji Ran, who had been watching his emotional fluctuations closely, turned his head to look in another direction as he turned the page.
She still couldn't handle what came next.
Then she heard the breathing beside her become more rapid and intense, and the speed at which the pages were turned increased, along with the louder sound of the paper rubbing against each other.
Ji Ran only slowly turned around when Luo Yesheng, in a fit of rage, threw the entire document in his hand away.
In a short time, Luo Yesheng's face, filled with anger, turned bright red, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently.
What did he just see?
He watched as that handsome, beautiful, and perfect child was slowly devoured by the virus, turning into a gigantic, inhuman monster...
The next second, Luo Yesheng laughed without warning.
"Ha...hahaha...hahahaha..."
Ji Ran ignored his broken laughter and looked at Qi Mu next to Luo Yesheng with great concern, nervously observing whether the dark red in his pupils had been stained with bright red blood.
The last time she looked at this document, she didn't have the courage to flip to the back.
So much so that he didn't even look at it.
But this time, while Luo Yesheng was looking at it, he still took a look.
Just by looking at Luo Yesheng's reaction, it's enough to prove that what follows is shocking.
So Qi Mu saw... Is he alright?
He had no expression, his pupils did not change color, and he looked very calm.
But the calmer things seemed, the more anxious Ji Ran became.
The last time she saw him with that expression was when she first met him.
That's how she was—aloof and unapproachable.
She desperately wanted to rush over and hug him, but when she saw Luo Yesheng standing to the side, she forced herself to suppress the urge.
"Where did this come from?" Luo Yesheng asked helplessly.
Ji Ran lowered his eyes. "Naturally, it's in the military camp. If you want to hold me accountable for leaking secrets now, I have nothing to say."
Hearing her words, Luo Yesheng suddenly realized what he had just asked, and he shook his head helplessly:
"Will not.
I just want to know...
How do you know about this? It's about Qi Mu.
What is your role in all of this?
Ji Ran paused for a moment, not answering any questions, but instead asking in return:
"What about you?
Would you take on the role of uncovering the truth?
Would you punish the murderer to clear his name and restore justice?
