Chapter 1142 Interrogation

After hearing those words, Zhang Han’s face turned pale as a sheet… Seeing Zhang Han’s pale face, Zhang Chao knew something was wrong and immediately shouted, “Zhang Han, what are you hiding?”

Faced with Zhang Chao’s intense look, Zhang Han only bit his lip as his face scrunched up in pain.

“You’re not a very good older brother…” Li Lanfeng shook his head. “You don’t really know your little brother. Your little brother has a lot of secrets. Right? Second Lieutenant Zhang, or rather Mr. Spectral User Zhang?”

“Spectral user? Spectral ability user!” Zhang Chao could hear the memories of his precious little brother shattering apart like gla.s.s. The useless little brother in his memories was a spectral ability user?

“Little Han, is this true? Why didn’t you tell us?” Zhang Chao felt as if a sharp knife had been stabbed into his heart as he screamed out loud. His little brother actually kept such a big secret from him and everyone in their family.

Hearing his elder brother’s questions, Zhang Han just laughed coldly in response. “Didn’t you and every single one of the family always think of me as useless? In their eyes, they only saw you as a good son they are proud

of.”

“How can you say that about mom and dad?! They love you!” Zhang Chao couldn’t believe what words were entering his ears.

“Heh, they’ll only give me some of their care and affection when they suddenly remember it once in a while.” Zhang Han’s face turned red in anger. He screamed angrily, “I don’t f*cking need such cheap love.”

A hint of wild vengeance showed on Zhang Han’s angry face. The look Zhang Han was giving him caused Zhang Chao to back up a few steps and fall into a chair behind him. He didn’t know how to deal with this version of his little brother, it was as if he had turned into a total stranger.

Right at that moment, Zhang Han suddenly turned around and rushed towards the door of the living room.

Boom! A silhouette suddenly flew backwards from the door and landed onto the ground.

Zhang Han held his chest in pain and looked ruthlessly at the soldier standing at the door who sent him flying back. It was Zhao Jun!

“Second Lieutenant Zhang, you should learn to be a little smarter. Don’t do anything useless.” Li Lanfeng walked beside him and knelt down. “Although your strength isn’t bad like your elder brother, for you to still think of escaping with domain realm masters around you… You’re really daydreaming here.”

“What can you do even if you capture me? I have already sent out all the available information about Lingtian. You guys are too late.” Zhang Han knew he couldn’t get away so he decided to let it all out.

Zhang Han’s words suddenly awakened Zhang Chao from his trance. He immediately stood up and rushed towards Zhang Han. He held him up by his collar and shouted angrily, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What nonsense did you do?”

Zhang Han glanced at Zhang Chao coldly and then slowly forced Zhang Chao’s hand away from him. “Don’t you think it’s disgusting that you’re acting all concerned about me now?”

Zhang Chao’s eyes narrowed as he forced out his words through his gritted teeth. “What the f*ck did you just say?”

“Cleaning up after me. Didn’t you always hate it? Didn’t you want me to completely disappear from your sight? You think you hid your hate, your disgust and your contempt well from me? Sometimes, you don’t even try to hide it…” Zhang Han smiled but it was deathly cold. “Them as well. They always hoped that such a useless son didn’t exist. That way I won’t embarra.s.s them in front of others. Even though they hated me so much, they still had to pretend to show concern for their son. I find it hilarious every time I see all your fake smiles and concern”

“Scram!” screamed Zhang Han. “What I do is my own choice! It has nothing to do with you.”

“Zhang Han!” Zhang Chao shouted angrily while holding back his tears. The wounds of his heart were showing in his eyes. Although he indeed hated Zhang Han’s uselessness, he was still his little brother and his mom and dad’s son in the end. How could they not care for him? However, their love for him, in his eyes, became all fake. These series of events took a huge toll on Zhang Chao’s heart.

Zhang Han turned towards Li Lanfeng and coldly said, “Didn’t you people come here to take me away? What are you waiting for?”.

Li Lanfeng smirked. “Lingtian is a humane mecha clan. Isn’t it nice for you brothers to resolve your resentment first?”

Zhang Han laughed coldly, “I don’t have anything to say to this stranger.” After he said his piece, he closed his eyes to show that he didn’t want to see anyone or speak to anyone.

Li Lanfeng looked at Zhang Chao apologetically and then gestured at Zhao Jun to take Zhang Han back to Lingtian’s camping ground.

Zhang Chao stood on the side in a daze. When he saw Zhao Jun dragging Zhang Han up from the ground, he quickly dashed to him, held onto Zhang Han’s arm with his trembling and said with a desperate expression on his face, “I just want to ask one question, did you… did you betray the Federation?”

He could only think of this reason. Otherwise, Lingtian’s regiment commander wouldn’t take two leaders and a military doctor and come to Piercing Arrow personally to capture such a small member of their clan.

Zhang Han slowly opened his eyes and scoffed, “Don’t you already know?”

This answer immediately froze Zhang Chao’s heart. There was no hope now… he was in despair

At that moment, Ling Lan stood up and spoke to Yu Wei, who was completely stunned by what was happening in front of him, “Sorry for the trouble, Regiment Commander Yu.”

Before Yu Wei could react, she vanished completely without a trace.

Zhao Jun, Li Lanfeng, Li s.h.i.+yu and Zhang Han also disappeared at the same time.

Not long after, they returned to Lingtian’s command center in their camping ground and entered a small conference room.

After noticing some movements in the small conference room, Luo Chao walked out of her office. After seeing it were Ling Lan and the others, her face lit up and she smiled. “Regiment Commander, you’re back.”

“Have Qi Long and the others come back yet?” Ling Lan asked indifferently.

While they went to Piercing Arrow, Qi Long, Luo Lang, Xie Yi and Han Jijyun took her orders and went to the mecha clan, where w.a.n.g Junzhi was stationed, to arrest him.

“Not yet.” Right as Luo Chao answered, they heard movement from outside the conference room.

Xie Yi was dragging someone into the conference room with Qi Long, Luo Lang and Han Jijyun following behind him.

The person that was dragged in was indeed w.a.n.g Junzhi who received information about Lingtian and sent it out from the virtual world.

w.a.n.g Junzhi trembled slightly when he saw Zhao Jun holding Zhang Han. However, he quickly calmed down. Afterwards, he saw Ling Lan who was sitting on the main seat of the room. He instantly shouted, “Major General Ling, I’m innocent. I’m innocent.”

Ling Lan glanced at Luo Chao. Luo Chao understood what her look meant so she quickly walked out of the small conference room and closed the door behind her.

“Sit!” Ling Lan gestured to Zhao Jun and Xie Yi to let go of the two people and pointed towards two chairs in the conference room.

The sudden politeness made w.a.n.g Junzhi and Zhang Han look at each with fear but the two of them still calmed their nerves and carefully chose a chair to sit on.

Qi Long, Li Lanfeng, Zhao Jun and the others all randomly chose a chair to sit on after the two of them had sat down.

However, w.a.n.g Junzhi and Zhang Han discovered that they had chosen positions that surrounded the two of them. If they were to make any sudden movements, they would be put down the instant they moved.

After everyone sat down, they all activated their communicator’s virtual screens to doc.u.ment the interrogation.

w.a.n.g Junzhi and Zhang Han’s eyes meet each other again. They were both thinking and calculating how they would get out of this situation.
