Chapter 585: Mainstay

Something's off.

Shouldn't I be reviewing documents in the office?

In my memory, it should have been that the documents Chen Yongren sent had a leak, Yuan Gangxian went to give guidance, and then I drank some water…

When I came to, I found myself in the hallway?

Something's off…

How is this so similar to what happened yesterday when I was walking the birds in the courtyard?

I looked around.

The surrounding walls were covered in blood, the ground littered with mutilated corpses, and blood kept flowing down the stairs.

Shenqi Chuangjian's face showed a hint of disbelief.

How did this place turn into a slaughterhouse?

Ahead, a crowd of agency staff was packed together?

Especially the group of officers crowded before me, each frightened like a quail.

They're utterly useless, the faces of the Younger Brother Country's soldiers have been completely lost!

Shenqi Chuangjian stepped forward.

"What's going on, what exactly happened in the bureau, why are there so many corpses here!" Shenqi Chuangjian demanded sharply: "Who attacked us?"

It didn't even have time to wonder why it had appeared in the hallway.

Upon hearing this question, everyone present went dumbfounded.

Who attacked us?

How long ago did you just hack someone, and you've already forgotten this?

Could it be that you, Major His Excellency, are looking for another excuse to kill people?

Thinking of this, they felt even more afraid.

"Major His Excellency, we were wrong, we were wrong, don't kill us, please don't kill us!" The group of Japanese officers trembled with fear.

"What nonsense, why would I want to kill you!" As he spoke, Shenqi Chuangjian suddenly felt something was off.

Huh?

My hands felt sticky, as if I were still gripping something.

I lowered my head to look.

It turned out to be a blood‑stained military sword—wasn't this my own sword?

Not only that, my whole body was almost covered in blood.

Even my military boots were soaked red with blood, and Shenqi Chuangjian could feel a viscous liquid moving inside them.

What's going on?

Shenqi Chuangjian froze in place.

Why was I holding a military sword and standing on the stairs?

Seeing Shenqi Chuangjian's stunned expression, the officers grew even more afraid and couldn't help stepping back.

"Damn it, answer me—what the hell is going on!" Shenqi Chuangjian shouted.

Shenqi Chuangjian was already covered in blood, and with that snarling roar, he looked even more terrifying.

"Oh no, Major His Excellency is going to eat people."

"Everyone, run!"

"Run now, or you won't get away."

……

I don't know who let out a loud shout, but the crowd instantly fell into chaos, pushing and shoving as they ran outward.

"You bastards, a bunch of idiots, stop yelling—tell me right now what the hell is going on!"

"If you don't speak up, I'll kill you all!"

Shenqi Chuangjian strode forward, casually grabbed a lieutenant, placed the sword across his throat, and barked, "Tell me quick!"

Seeing his subordinates act so strangely toward him, Shenqi Chuangjian grew ever more furious.

He had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he dared not believe it.

"Major His Excellency, I'll talk, I'll talk, don't kill me!" said the Japanese lieutenant, stammering as he recounted what he had seen and heard.

"What?" Shenqi Chuangjian glowered: "You're saying I suddenly went berserk and started killing people inside the bureau?"

The Japanese lieutenant nodded carefully, shrinking his neck as much as possible.

Shenqi Chuangjian lifted his gaze to the people before him.

They too nodded like chicks pecking at grain.

Although he had guessed this, after receiving confirmation he still couldn't quite believe that it was all his own doing.

Why do I have no memory at all?

And why am I like this?

Shenqi Chuangjian's heart sank.

Things have gone bad.

Yesterday I got scolded for walking the birds, and today I flew off the handle for no reason, killing so many colleagues—coming up, I'm sure there'll be no good outcome for me!

"Move aside, everyone move aside, don't block the way!"

An angry shout cut off Shenqi Chuangjian's thoughts.

When he came to, he saw several military police appear before him, who without a word seized his sword and sidearm, then subdued him.

"Colonel Shenqi, you are suspected of killing your comrades; please come with me for a while. Once we finish the investigation, we will naturally clear your name." said a military police lieutenant colonel to Shenqi Chuangjian.

You all, count the number of deaths!

Afterwards, it again said to a squad of gendarmes behind it.

The gendarmerie unit is military police that outrank officers by three ranks; dealing with a colonel is no problem for them.

Shenqi Chuangjian, still dazed, was directly taken out of the Special Agency building and taken to the gendarmerie's prison.

"No, this isn't what I did, this is a frame-up!" Shenqi Chuangjian also suddenly came to his senses and struggled desperately.

Looking at Chen Yongren standing aside, expressionless, Shenqi Chuangjian froze, suddenly realizing that his abnormal behavior only appeared after seeing Chen Yongren yesterday.

It's him!

It must be him!

Thinking this, Shenqi Chuangjian shouted at Chen Yongren: "It's all Yuan Chief; he's the one framing me, deliberately poisoning me, which caused me to go on a killing spree."

"Damn it, Shenqi Chuangjian, what does your sudden rampage killing colleagues have to do with me? Speak with evidence; why would I poison you?" Chen Yongren's face was unpleasant.

"If I hadn't escaped in time earlier, I might have also died under your blade; am I crazy, after poisoning you I'd still put myself in danger?"

At the time the situation was chaotic; who could have noticed oneself?

In the end, it's just up to how one fabricates it.

Even if one claims to have saved a few colleagues back then, someone would still believe it.

"I was perfectly normal before seeing you; besides you, who else could it be!" Shenqi Chuangjian, furious with embarrassment, bared his teeth at Chen Yongren.

"Yuan Chief, you damn bastard, I will definitely kill you!"

Chen Yongren quickly stepped back, pointing at it and saying: "You all see, this guy knows what he's doing; Shenqi Chuangjian deliberately killed colleagues to vent his anger!"

Afterwards, he again looked at those gendarmes, filled with righteous indignation, saying: "Hardworking comrades of the gendarmerie, you must definitely investigate this case and bring justice to the comrades tragically killed by it!"

"Also, his defamation of me must also be recorded!"

"Chief Commander Young Master, rest assured, we will definitely get to the bottom of this!" The gendarmerie captain said gently to Chen Yongren, then waved his hand.

He ordered his subordinates to take the wailing Shenqi Chuangjian back to prison.

He killed so many people.

Not even heavenly locusts could save him, let alone someone surnamed Ye.

Watching Shenqi Chuangjian leave, Chen Yongren then looked toward the agency building.

The gendarmes were questioning and recording the scene at the time.

Having experienced Shenqi Chuangjian's pursuit, this bunch were still shaken, their emotions in turmoil—perfect opportunity to win people's hearts.

Even if a new Special Agency Director came, they couldn't do anything without my approval.

It also shouldn't even think of accomplishing anything!

Seeing Chen Yongren approach, the officers who had finished taking statements also gathered around.
