Chapter 710: Judgment
As Han Zhuguan's convoy entered Wu Ding District, the Dimensional Token timely alerted them with a notification sound. At the main car's signal, a reconnaissance vehicle swiftly moved forward, taking the lead at the front of the convoy to relay real-time road conditions and information to the rear.
After more than twenty minutes, the convoy gradually approached the Administration Bureau Headquarters, but they didn't notice that as their vehicles passed by, the traffic and pedestrians behind them gradually decreased.
If viewed from the sky, the area where the convoy was driving through appeared to have vehicles and people constantly dispersing outwards, but none were entering from within.
Inside Han Zhuguan's luxury vehicle, the driver, who was responsible for driving, constantly monitored the traffic situation through the Dimensional Token, which displayed information about various vehicles coming and going. The situation seemed no different from usual.
Everything appeared normal.
Ten minutes later, as the convoy turned another corner, they realized something was amiss.
The entire street ahead was empty, and the reconnaissance vehicle that had been sent ahead was nowhere to be seen. What was more, it had been sending normal information just half a minute ago.
"Supervisor?"
The driver, sensing the situation, immediately turned his head and asked.
Han Zhuguan stared ahead, seemingly lost in silence. After a while, he said, "Continue forward."
Based on his experience, he knew without looking that the intersection behind them must have been blocked, and the fact that it was so openly displayed meant they were well-prepared. Even if they turned now, it would be futile; the only option was to continue forward.
As they drove down this street, they could see machine guns and gun barrels pointing at them from above and hidden locations. Armed vehicles were parked at intervals along the roadside, completely surrounding them.
At that moment, a shadow fell from the sky as an armed flying ship passed overhead, its rotating machine gun aimed at the entire convoy. Many of them broke out in a cold sweat.
With such a grand display of force, it was clear this matter was no small affair. They slowed down, and for a moment, the only sound was the vehicles moving.
After another turn, the convoy arrived on a wider street. Here, they could see for several kilometers ahead, and at the end, two flying ships hovered, blocking the street.
In the middle of the avenue, Chen Chuan stood alone, his Snow Queen Saber planted in the ground. He wore a peaked cap, and his protective suit fluttered in the wind. A long scarf, like a flame, danced around him, making him highly conspicuous.
The shadow of a tall building fell on one side, landing precisely where the Snow Queen Saber was planted, separating the light and dark sides evenly.
Han Zhuguan stared at Chen Chuan's figure for a while, finally saying, "Stop."
The vehicle came to a sudden halt, causing everyone inside to lurch forward, followed by the sharp screeching of brakes from the vehicles behind, each coming to a stop one after the other.
Facing the guns on both sides, not a single person dared to move without Han Zhuguan's order.
After a moment, Han Zhuguan's luxury vehicle door opened, and he stepped out alone. The glaring sunlight seemed to make him squint, and he lowered his cap brim. Then, hand on his sword, he walked towards Chen Chuan.
Under the watchful eyes of those behind him and the surrounding personnel, he walked right up to Chen Chuan. Looking around, he asked in a stiff voice, "Supervisor Chen, what's the meaning of this?"
Chen Chuan's gaze fell on his face, and he said, "Supervisor Han, don't you know what happened last night? Have you forgotten so soon?"
Han Zhuguan, expressionless, said, "Supervisor Chen, after 5 pm yesterday, I was accompanying politicians from the Government Hall on a business negotiation, ensuring their safety at the scene until I left the venue not long ago. I don't understand what you're talking about.
Moreover..."
He looked at Chen Chuan, "Even if it involves some special circumstances that haven't been clarified, we are both supervisors. You don't have the authority to question or interrogate me here."
Chen Chuan's voice was calm as he said, "In fact, I do have that authority."
As soon as his words fell, a line of information appeared on the Dimensional Tokens of everyone present, including Han Zhuguan's.
It was an authorization letter from the Administration Bureau and Government Hall's high-level officials, granting Chen Chuan temporary supreme authority in an emergency situation. He had the temporary power of judgment over all members of the Administration Bureau, including supervisors and those below.
At the bottom of the authorization letter were not only Wu Ju's signature but also those of Liang Guanghai, the Jinbei Province Defense Department Commissioner, and Qi Weizhao, the Jinbei Province Central City Government Head.
This authorization letter could be said to have the backing of the highest-ranking officials in the Government Hall.
After seeing this, Han Zhuguan's expression changed drastically.
However, there was more. Immediately after, line after line of information was quickly conveyed on the Dimensional Tokens of everyone present.
This included recordings, conversations, and visual materials provided by Supervisor Wen, the most important of which was a detailed report from the Bureau of Administration, which essentially revealed the truth of the matter, including the fact that Supervisor Wen had already sacrificed himself under Han Zhuguan's ambush.
After seeing this, some of the Administration Bureau members who were still unclear about the situation were first shocked and then filled with righteous indignation.
The former subordinates of Wen Guanli, in particular, had braced themselves mentally before arriving, but upon hearing the confirmation, their eyes fixed on Han Zhuguan with intense hatred, almost as if fire would erupt from their gaze.
Chen Chuan, looking at Han Zhuguan, said, "I have one more thing to say. The doppelganger you left at the scene has been apprehended by the Bureau of Administration, and they now have sufficient evidence of all your actions."
"Betraying the department, plotting against colleagues, secretly colluding with the Union, and even linking up with the Linaksis Federation—every single thing you've done is despicable. Han Fu, what you've done is enough to constitute treason."
Seeing Han Zhuguan's silence, Chen Chuan removed his gloves, threw them to the ground, clenched his fist, and with a loud bang, said, "If you can't remember, I can help you recall."
Han Zhuguan reached for the hilt of his sword, drew it out swiftly, and took a step forward. As the bricks flew, he covered dozens of meters in an instant and lunged at Chen Chuan with his sword.
Chen Chuan's gaze fixed on Han Zhuguan's figure, and just as the sword tip reached his face, he raised his hand and grabbed the blade.
A loud boom echoed as Han Zhuguan's movement abruptly halted. He stood in a pit he had created with his foot, both hands gripping the sword hilt, leaning forward. But no matter how hard he tried to push the sword forward, it wouldn't budge, not even a fraction.
A creaking sound emanated from the sword as Han Zhuguan's pupils dilated. He witnessed the altered weapon, capable of resisting force, gradually twisting and deforming under Chen Chuan's grip.
Han Zhuguan suddenly released the sword hilt, lowered his body, and swiftly approached Chen Chuan, his fingers coming together like a knife, aiming for the latter's abdomen.
However, before he could complete the motion, his vision blurred, and he felt a jolt in his jaw. A deafening boom echoed in his head, and his body flew backward, landing heavily on the ground with a dull thud in the empty street.
Chen Chuan tossed aside the deformed long sword in his hand and walked forward.
Han Zhuguan, who had briefly lost consciousness, shook his head and slowly stood up, supporting his body.
But just as he positioned himself in a defensive stance, Chen Chuan's figure disappeared from his sight. By the time he saw him again, Chen Chuan was already close by. Han Zhuguan hurriedly raised his arms to block, summoning all his altered organisms in an instant.
A bang sounded, and a force exploded in mid-air, knocking him back. He stumbled backward for several meters, his arms trembling uncontrollably.
Chen Chuan continued walking forward, his face hidden beneath the peaked cap, revealing no emotion. Only the red scarf fluttered behind him.
Han Zhuguan, crouching low, focused his mind on Chen Chuan's figure. This time, he wanted to strike first, but before he could even see Chen Chuan's move, he was blasted away again.
Not only did he fail to stabilize his stance, but he also bounced on the street several times before finally rolling on the ground and coming to a stop.
The Handling Bureau members on both sides of the road silently witnessed this scene.
Han Zhuguan seemed severely injured this time and couldn't get up immediately. He heard footsteps approaching from behind, and just as they reached his back, he spun and threw an upward punch.
A loud boom followed as the punch landed squarely on Chen Chuan.
However, to his disbelief, the force that had once troubled Wen Guanli had no effect on Chen Chuan's body, which didn't even sway. Only the cloak around him fluttered.
Chen Chuan's gaze lowered, and he said, "Your strength is too weak. How did you become an investigation supervisor?"
Han Zhuguan's face contorted. As he attempted to strike with his other hand, he felt a jolt in his abdomen, and before he knew it, he was kicked into the air.
Chen Chuan grabbed his leg as he rose, pulled him down, and with a dull thud, the ground cracked like a spider web, forming a large pit.
Han Zhuguan lay in the pit, his eyes rolling up for a moment. After a while, he seemed to regain consciousness and tried to stand up, but before he could, a punch landed on his face, knocking out his teeth. He fell back down.
But the next moment, he propped himself up with determination, growling in anger. His clenched fist emanated a force that seemed to tear through the air.
Chen Chuan casually extended his hand and dispersed the force with a simple pat. Then, with a punch from below, he struck Han Zhuguan's abdomen, causing him to briefly float in the air. After a moment, with a loud boom, Han Zhuguan's body was blasted away as if hit by a cannonball.
This time, Han Zhuguan flew over a hundred meters before coming to a stop. The road was riddled with shallow pits from the impact and scraping.
Everyone on both sides watched as Chen Chuan mercilessly beat Han Zhuguan. Both held the position of investigation supervisor, yet Han Zhuguan seemed as helpless as a child against Chen Chuan.
The people Han Zhuguan had brought with him turned pale, sitting motionless in their seats as if frozen.
