Chapter 1642 "The Truth Comes Out"

Even if recalling this whole life many years later, Xiao Hong will never forget what happened that day.

Less than half a minute after he yelled the phrase "Give me liberty or give me death", he raised his hands without hesitation when he saw the man who walked over the corpses.

"Don't, don't shoot! I surrender, I surrender! I'll give you whatever you want! Don't kill me!"

After confirming the corpses on the ground, Wang Peng moved the muzzle of the gun slightly, pointed at Xiao Hong and his "dog-headed military adviser" Gao Ruiming who were sitting behind the bunker, and said in a cold voice.

"Hand over Academician Lu."

"Academician Lu?"

"Don't play dumb for me."

The muzzle moved down an inch, and Wang Peng pulled the trigger impatiently.

Hearing the bang of the gunshot, and seeing the concrete fragments splashed from the side of his trousers, Xiao Hong subconsciously shrank back in fright, and shouted in panic.

"Fuck! Why are you pretending to be stupid?! I still want to know where that guy went! Wait, who are you guys? You are definitely not from Pan-Asia Cooperation... Academician Lu should have been transferred away by them ! Gladstone! It's you! It's you, right! I knew you cultists couldn't be trusted!"

Looking at Xiao Hong who was almost insane, Wang Peng frowned slightly.

Gladstone?

The name sounds familiar...

If he remembers correctly, isn't this guy just an ordinary entrepreneur? It seems that the manager of the South Gate II Exploration and Colonization Fund is currently raising funds for the "Noah's Ark" project.

etc……

Evil believers?

Could it be that……

A possibility suddenly appeared in Wang Peng's mind.

It's far-fetched, but not entirely impossible...

"You mean, the Nanmen Erwai Galaxy Exploration Famous Foundation is a product of the Universal Spirit Foundation?" The gun was aimed at Xiao Hong's forehead again, and Wang Peng continued in an interrogative tone, "That Grice Don, are they their white gloves? Or is it simply the senior management of the Universal Spirit Foundation?"

"Hehe, what are you pretending to do now?" Xiao Hong looked at Wang Peng coldly, and said in a voice like a poisonous snake, "Who knows what he does better than you—"

"I'm interrogating you now, not you asking me," Wang Peng continued, looking at him with cold eyes, "I advise you to answer this question carefully, it is related to whether you can win the chance of reducing your sentence in court. "

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Xiao Hong felt that all the courage in his body was drained.

Although he also had a lot of confusion in his heart and wanted to ask, the impatient look on the face of the person in front of him made him dare not say a single word of nonsense.

Slowly, he forced out a word from his throat.

"I said……"

Looking at Wang Peng's eyes indicating to continue, he tried to calm down the trembling in his voice, and continued.

"That happened last month...Gladstone found me and asked me to go with him to approve his 'Noah's Ark' plan. When I just got the plan, my first reaction was this What the hell are they, but I suddenly thought that building such a large starship can drive the shipbuilding industry of the entire Tiangong City, and this is just an opportunity for us. And the warp speed technology they need is exactly what we need Want it too."

"Then we discussed it. First, we invited Lu Zhou to Tiangong City in the name of academic exchanges, and then the city hall gave the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Fund as a credit endorsement, and used Pan-Asian cooperation to make financial policies for the colonies. preferential conditions, issuing pre-sale tickets and corporate bonds. But in fact—"

Wang Peng: "In fact, part of the money was transferred to the account of the city hall as a 'war debt' to raise military expenses?"

Although I want to deny it, I have already reached this point, and I can't hide this secret at all.

After faltering for a while, Xiao Hong finally nodded in embarrassment.

"Yes, as you can see..."

Wang Peng said in a cold tone.

"Take our money to build guns and hit us, you really can do anything."

"It wasn't my idea..." Xiao Hong said this in a low voice, and looked at Gao Ruiming who was sitting next to him with an embarrassed smirk, "I'm only in charge of signing..."

Regardless, such things have happened.

The Nanmen 2 Colonial Exploration Fund hooked up with the rebels in Tiangong City, and also transferred the funds raised for the colonization of Proxima B to the account of Tiangong City City Hall. Maybe in the end, let alone building a "Noah's Ark", the huge fines and the departure of the informed management may make this company directly declare bankruptcy.

It is almost predictable. When the truth comes out, I am afraid that a financial tsunami will be inevitable...

Wang Peng glanced at the two of them and continued to ask.

"Leave these trivial things aside first, so where is Lu Zhou?"

"Lu Zhou... I don't know, I really don't know," Xiao Hong hurriedly explained seeing the man in front of him look more and more dangerously, "I admit, we are indeed looking for him! His song The fast engine is the key to our victory! And according to our expert guess, the hyperspace transition should be able to interfere in some way. As long as we master the technology to interfere with the hyperspace channel, we can prevent the Pan-Asian cooperation fleet from directly entering The top of our heads..."

Carefully looking at Wang Peng, Xiao Hong swallowed and continued.

"Later we went to his room, and it turned out that he was not in it at all, and a few clothes were missing. Later we tried to investigate the surveillance, but since he left the hotel, he seemed to have evaporated from the world. Even Not a single frame of surveillance was found! We wondered at the time whether you had already followed our plan and moved him away in advance."

Up to now, Xiao Hong has basically been able to conclude that the person standing in front of him is not some cultist, but an agent of the Security Bureau. As for the unidentified armed forces who attacked the city hall - Wang Peng didn't seem to know them either.

In that case, those people can only be sent by Gladstone to silence them...

Thinking of this, Xiao Hong suddenly showed an angry expression on his face, and said through gritted teeth.

"I see! That despicable and shameless villain! Those people are not the special forces of Pan-Asian cooperation at all, they are the killers they sent to silence! These idiots actually stabbed me in the back! Listen, your Academician Lu is not here If we are not protected by your people, then we can only be in the hands of the Foundation!"

"They want to leave us alone..."

Just as Xiao Hong was swearing, an explosion trembled suddenly from the ceiling of the underground garage.

Hearing the intruding footsteps and the sporadic gunshots suddenly, Xiao Hong and Gao Ruiming's faces showed a hint of despair.

"It's over...it's over."

Staring at the ceiling, Gao Ruiming muttered in a low voice.

However, for some reason, when he said these words, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Falling into the hands of Pan-Asian cooperation is much better than falling into the hands of those cultists.

Having worked with Gladstone for so many years, he knew everything that guy did, and he knew even more how cruel and dirty those people's methods were.

Lifting his dull eyes, looking at the dignified Wang Peng, Xiao Hong said in a weak voice.

"This information...is enough for me to commute my sentence?"

"Maybe twenty years, maybe thirty years, the key is to see how big a fish we can catch following the clues you provided."

Hearing this answer, Xiao Hong gradually heaved a sigh of relief, and his tense shoulders also relaxed a little.

Seeing this guy's ugly appearance, Wang Peng grinned disdainfully, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy."

"The specific sentence of several hundred years, you have to discuss it with the judge."
