Chapter 505: Tell Us Where Xia Xinghe Is

Editor: Millman97

However, her tone did get colder, "Xi Munan, tell us honestly, where is Xia Xinghe?"

This question, they had asked many times. Initially Munan would say he didn鈥檛 know, but after so many repetitions, he simply refused to answer. Lin Yun knew he was not going to cooperate, but she didn鈥檛 get mad. Instead, she patiently asked, "You and Xia Xinghe are both involved in stealing and profiteering from illegal military munitions, am I right?"

Munan remained silent. He only gave a scoff in reply.

The professional smile was still plastered on Lin Yun鈥檚 face. "You purposely helped Xia Xinghe escape this country because you were afraid she would sell you out, isn鈥檛 that true?"

"..."

"Xi Munan, as long as you鈥檙e willing to admit to your sin, I鈥檓 sure the judge will look kindly on you. However, if you still refuse to cooperate then your charge will be bigger. You have to understand, Xia Xinghe鈥檚 connection to the munition organization is ironclad. Now that you鈥檝e helped her escape, your prison time is confirmed. Only by coming clean can you be pardoned to a certain degree," Lin Yun continued kindly.

He knew this Lin Yun had a fiery character, but every time she came, she was incredibly patient.

Munan stared at her coldly and responded, "Tell me, what kind of plan is your Lin family devising? What do you wish to get from my Xi family?"

Lin Yun didn鈥檛 expect this curveball. Her eyes shuddered. She smiled thinly. "I don鈥檛 think I understand what you mean. I was assigned to oversee your case and that鈥檚 the only reason I鈥檓 here."

"I think you are overseeing more than me here." Munan鈥檚 eyes fell on Saohuang, implicating their relationship. "You two can drop your charade. The only reason you two cooperated is to bring down the Xi family, right?"

Saohuang smiled. "Munan, this accusation is a bit out there. The illegal organization you鈥檙e supporting may be a threat to this country鈥檚 safety; I鈥檓 here only because I was ordered to be. After all, the whole military is paying a lot of attention to your case."

"But the two of you seem to care about this the most." Munan smirked.

"I can鈥檛 help it if you want to see it that way, but now, you have to understand that it is you who is facing a criminal charge." Lin Yun said gently, "Munan, I believe that the Xi family wouldn鈥檛 do anything this overboard. This must be Xia Xinghe鈥檚 idea, so if you tell us her location, after we detain her, she will bear the brunt of the responsibility. Why should you take the blame for this woman, it鈥檚 not worth it, don鈥檛 you agree?"

"It is indeed not worth it for her to take the fall for me," Munan answered.

Saohuang glared at him coldly. "Xi Munan, if you give us her location, you might still have a chance to survive. By not giving us the information, you鈥檙e courting death!"

Lin Yun nodded, "He鈥檚 right. As long as we can catch her, you don鈥檛 need to accept the whole criminal charge. You鈥檙e going to be summoned to the military court soon; this is the last chance for you to come clean and save yourself."

Munan was done listening. He chuckled sarcastically. "Come clean? If I come clean, I will die faster."

Lin Yun finally narrowed her eyes. "So, you want to fight the law to the bitter end?"

"No, I鈥檓 fighting you two until the bitter end," Munan corrected with a smile. "You want me to admit that Xi Family was involved in this trumped up deal? Impossible! I know as much about the law as the both of you, don鈥檛 think you can tease the words out of me."

He was a military major, of course, he knew they were trapping him. He laughed at Lin Yun and Saohuang鈥檚 futile attempt to do so.

Lin Yun laughed. "You think we鈥檙e here to trap you? Even if you don鈥檛 admit anything, your charges will stick! Xia Xinghe鈥檚 sin will also fall on your head, are you willing to take up this burden for her?"
