Chapter 135: Goodbye Once Again
“Name?”
“Zhou Ming.”
“Age?”
“Twenty-five.”
“Gender?”
“Male.”
Inside a spacious interrogation room, Zhou Ming was being questioned, while his Beast Taming partner, Silver Scale, was locked to the side inside an alloy iron cage.
Inside the interrogation room, a heavy machine gun was already trained on Zhou Ming and his beast, clearly treatment reserved only for Beast Tamers.
“Very cooperative, aren’t you.”
Opposite Zhou Ming sat a middle-aged man with a stern expression and bronze-colored skin.
Seeing Zhou Ming being so sensible also made him feel a trace of surprise.
“Officer, I am a law-abiding citizen. Naturally, I must cooperate with your work.”
After resolving the armed squad that had attempted to kidnap Lei Yuan, Zhou Ming had not the slightest intention of resisting the official forces of the Qinghui Base.
As a large-scale base, it was certain to be guarded by Transcendent Beast Tamers. He was not arrogant enough to challenge the official power of the Qinghui Base.
This matter had been done to protect Lei Yuan, and he was also a student of Qinghui Scientific Research University, so Zhou Ming was not worried about his own safety.
Moreover, after Lei Yuan successfully researched energy pulse long-distance communication technology, her social status within the Alliance had already undergone a cross-tier transformation.
With Lei Yuan and his relationship, she would also pull him out, so Zhou Ming naturally did not want to cause any new trouble.
“Clang…”
The Blood Hunter Type-1 Handgun Zhou Ming had used, along with the Thunder Type-2 Revolver, was tossed onto the table by the other party.
“This is what you call law-abiding?”
Looking at the Zhou Ming before him, Chen Tong, the captain of the Major Crimes Unit of the West District Public Security Bureau of Qinghui Base, was also extremely shocked by Zhou Ming’s strength.
At such a young age, not only had he dealt with a fully armed squad, he had also used a Thunder Type-2 Revolver to successfully kill three Beasts.
If Zhou Ming had not voluntarily surrendered, the Public Security Bureau would have had to pay an extremely heavy price to take him down.
After all, the first wave of officers to arrive at the scene had not included any professional Beast Tamers.
“Self-defense, self-defense.”
Hearing Zhou Ming’s answer, Chen Tong’s expression turned cold as he prepared to continue questioning him, when the interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open.
“Director Zhang.”
Seeing the newcomer, Chen Tong immediately stood up to greet him.
Zhang Mingfeng, Director of the West District Public Security Bureau of Qinghui Base, was also a professional Beast Tamer whose promotion and class advancement was Phantasmal Tamer.
“Release this young man. He acted bravely for a just cause.”
“Yes.”
Chen Tong did not ask why, nor did he mention the firearms placed on the table. The reason he could become the captain of the Major Crimes Unit of the West District Branch did not rely solely on ability or merit.
“Zhou Ming, these are your personal belongings. In addition, you may take your beast with you.”
As a nearby officer unlocked Zhou Ming’s handcuffs, the firearms sealed in a transparent plastic bag were already placed by Chen Tong into a kraft paper bag.
“Thank you for the trouble.”
After retrieving Silver Scale back into his Beast Taming Space, Zhou Ming immediately expressed his gratitude to the two men before him.
“It was we who delayed your time, young man. Your girlfriend is waiting for you outside. Go quickly.”
Hearing Zhang Mingfeng’s words, Zhou Ming immediately reacted—it must have been Lei Yuan and the school stepping in to get him out.
He then quickly walked out of the interrogation room.
“Director Zhang, who intervened?”
Only after Zhou Ming and the other officers had left did Chen Tong speak to ask Zhang Mingfeng.
“People from Qinghui Scientific Research University, and special agents from the Security Bureau.”
“How did the Security Bureau get involved?”
The Security Bureau was a department directly under the Alliance Council, responsible for protecting important personnel. Its director was a Transcendent Beast Tamer of the Weapon Master class.
“You don’t need to ask about that. Your task now is to pry open the mouths of those three people as soon as possible.”
“Yes.”
Outside the interrogation room, Lei Yuan, Lei Yuan’s mentor Liu Qingyu, Zhou Ming’s teacher Lu Dabo, and an unfamiliar middle-aged man were all waiting for Zhou Ming.
“Lei Yuan, Mentor Liu, Teacher, I made you worry.”
“As long as you’re fine, Brother Zhou.”
