Resurrection Empire

Chapter 799 303: Imprisoned_2

Since no restraint suit was put on, the lie-detection mechanism was naturally absent.

The three sat opposite Ren Zhong.

The middle-aged man asked directly, "Do you dispute the fact that you detonated a High Energy Bomb in Chongyi County?"

Ren Zhong: "Yes."

"Oh? Please elaborate."

Ren Zhong leaned back, "That was not a High Energy Bomb I prepared, it was a weapon the Wang Family intended to use against me. In Tianyuan Military Industry, there were these people involved in its manufacture. The list is here."

After speaking, Ren Zhong sent an electronic list to the middle-aged man via wrist watch in a face-to-face transfer.

The middle-aged man received it but did not look closely at the list, merely asking, "Then why did this weapon fall into your hands?"

Ren Zhong: "I believe you can easily investigate the reason."

"But we want to hear your account from your own perspective."

"A few days ago, I noticed someone following me—Zheng Dafa, Wang Jinsou's trusted henchman. I subdued him and made him my double agent. This incident should be visible in Chongyi County's central surveillance. Subsequently, under Wang Jinsou's hints and threats, Zheng Dafa had to procure the weapon meant to deal with me. It was an unstable miniature array sniper cannon gun."

"According to my original plan, I was supposed to go hunting for a Vibrant Tiger in Nangao Town early this morning. But out of fear of the bomb I had placed on him, Zheng Dafa informed me of this matter and handed the high-powered sniper gun to me. In my anger, I altered my itinerary and decided to return to Chongyi County to ambush the Wang father and son."

The middle-aged man raised a hand, "Let me interrupt for a moment. Where is Zheng Dafa?"

"He is already dead. I do not trust such duplicitous people."

"Alright, continue."

"From Zheng Dafa, I learned of the itinerary of Wang Dingyuan and his son. I quietly returned to Chongyi County and lurked near the Wang Family estate, using that gun to ambush Wang Dingyuan's shuttle. This was the cause of the first explosion. After shooting, I suddenly discovered the gun had a self-destruct function. To save myself, I immediately threw it into the corner beside the County Government. Fortunately, the defense of my armor was strong enough to save me from harm, but it caused a second large explosion. Subsequently, I used my specially made information flow bomb to restrict the Wang family bodyguards and captured the father and son. So my target was not deliberately to assault the County Government; I was solely targeting the Wang Family, and the real issue lies in the gun they intended to use to kill me."

"What did you do to Wang Dingyuan and his son in the secret room?"

"Made them confess that they should not have made me their enemy. Made them realize I am someone who cannot accept being threatened."

"But you extracted a lot of Tianyuan Military Industry secrets from them?"

"That was just a little game. First give them some hope, then extinguish it. I made them believe my aim was Tianyuan Military Industry, making them think they could survive by confessing these matters. When Wang Dingyuan died, the puzzled and perplexed look on his face was truly amusing. The more he underestimated me before, the more he regretted it at his death."

"But you have to pay a price."

"At the time, I didn't think that far."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "You caused casualties to citizens and property damage to the county town; your actions violate the Safety Law article 77 and 91. However, considering you used a weapon illegally made by the Chongyi Wang family to kill you, you have a certain degree of immunity due to ignorance. Moreover, since Wang Jinsou attempted to take your life first, it is considered self-defense. But at the time, you couldn't rationally determine if Wang Dingyuan would continue his revenge later, and you shouldn't have killed Seventh Level Citizen Wang Dingyuan. This constitutes excessive self-defense and also violates the Citizen Safety Law article 2. In summary, if you compensate five trillion, you can be granted bail pending trial with a ten-year probation period. Alternatively, you will be sentenced to ten years in prison, without freezing."

Listening to the verdict, Ren Zhong almost wanted to laugh out loud.

Too real.

He certainly knew his explanation was full of loopholes, being sentenced to death wouldn't be surprising, yet the verdict turned out to be so lenient.

Value completely overrides the law.

Whether it's money or ability, both allow him to easily "get away with murder" after killing someone.

Of course, behind the entire incident, the Tanggu Group, Purple Crystal Mining, and Ying Hao must have done something.

But he did not want to be bailed out pending trial.

"I'm afraid I can't pay the money. I've already given all my assets to Third Level Citizen Ju Qingmeng."
