Chapter 144 Visiting the Unexpected Turn of Events
Chapter 144 Visiting the Unexpected Turn of Events
"How can we find out the specifics without making a sound?"
Speculation is just speculation; Su Chen has no way of knowing what's going on in the medical department or whether it's actually Wei Yinshuo.
He stood under the shade of a tree, his expression gloomy. He had thought of many solutions, but in the end, he was speechless.
"Why think so much? He's the presiding judge who just returned from serious injury. I'm also a member of the court. Isn't it normal for me to visit him?"
However, even after figuring this out, he still did not act rashly.
If he suspects it's the other party's, what if Wei Yinshuo suddenly goes berserk and tries to kill him on the spot after he meets him?
He turned and headed deeper into the courtroom, only to find that none of the three presiding judges who were supposed to be there were present.
The whereabouts of Chong Jingtian and You Shan could not be found, but Jiang Shumo had an official mission.
"...Judge Jiang set off to welcome the people from Yuandu half a month ago."
The secretary who received him explained.
"You went out?" Su Chen was taken aback. He still remembered that Jiang Shumo might be targeting him, but the other party didn't seem to care much.
"I guess it was just a subconscious suspicion from this old fox. Seeing that I've been behaving myself for so long, he just let it go."
“I took the lead in capturing the Black Tuo priest. Even if some believers come out to report Meng Qi, they can only glance at me a couple of times. They can’t keep staring at me all the time.”
This was good news for him, and he felt much relieved.
Then he summoned Bu Siqi, who immediately became furious upon hearing that he was going to visit Wei Yinshuo, shaking his head repeatedly:
"No, no, the teacher doesn't get along with many people, but he's the worst... the worst... the worst, you could even say he's my enemy."
"Moreover, that night, his nephew Xue Fei took advantage of Lao Teng's misfortune, intending to kill him."
"Besides, he's caused such a big mess this time, he'll probably have to keep a low profile for a few years, so there's no need to worry about him."
"Senior brother, we're visiting the chief judge, not Wei Yinshuo," Su Chen tried his best to deceive. "He's one of the nine chief judges, after all. After he came back, all the factions within the court went to visit him, and only we were left."
"This is for the chief to see. Going there is a way of showing your attitude."
Bu Siqi frowned, staring at him thoughtfully. "I almost forgot that you are still a core seed. If you want to become the chief judge in the future, you must have a tolerant mind. It would be really not good if you didn't go."
Before Lao Chong became the chief judge, he had a bad relationship with Wei Yinshuo and Yuan Poshan, but later they became "as close as family".
"Understood, let's go."
Su Chen remained silent. He had no tolerance for such people; he had a long list of names in his mind, and if he weren't still strong enough, he would have already dealt with them all.
Since he could fool Bu Siqi, he didn't explain further and said, "Let's call Senior Brother Teng. It's already been confirmed that Meng Qi has a problem, but the adjudication office still won't release him. Let's take this opportunity to get them to release him."
"Great idea!" Bu Siqi clenched his right fist and slammed it against his left palm, saying repeatedly, "Old Teng killed Meng Qi, Meng Qi killed Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan is Wei Yinshuo's student. Now that Wei Yinshuo is seriously injured, Old Teng should at least go and see him."
This was a perfectly reasonable excuse, and Bu Siqi's resistance immediately disappeared. Excitedly, she dragged Su Chen to the adjudication office.
Lei Tieyan, who was stationed at the adjudication office year-round and almost never left his area of operation, glanced at the two men with eyes as still as water after hearing Bu Siqi's request, his facial muscles as hard as iron.
Seeing Bu Siqi's anxious gaze, Lei Tieyan finally relented, "After visiting Wei Yinshuo, we have to come back."
“We have to come back…” Bu Siqi was disappointed, but when he noticed Lei Tieyan’s gaze sweeping over him, he was startled and hurriedly said, “No problem, no problem.”
The two found Teng Liang and described the situation to him. He seemed calm and did not resist, saying, "It would be good to go."
Without needing to say much, Su Chen felt relieved. Teng Liang was a fifth-tier professional, and Wei Yinshuo's serious injuries were probably not faked. He could handle any unexpected situations.
……
"You mean, there are still your people inside the courtroom?"
In the ward, Wei Yinshuo frowned involuntarily.
“Indeed, based on my previous senses, it should be a priest,” the voice said. “But it vanished in an instant, and the senses disappeared.”
"A priest?" Wei Yinshuo understood. "It should be the priest that the Tribunal arrested not long ago. He was probably being transferred, and you happened to sense it. It's said that he's going to be tried publicly, which is obviously an attempt to lure away Ying Feng's remaining believers. Aren't you going to stop him?"
"There's no need." The voice was cold. "In Yingfeng City, there are only ordinary believers left. If we can really cause some trouble, it will only attract our attention."
Wei Yinshuo remained silent, deeply feeling that he was dealing with a tiger for its skin, and also vaguely regretting that if he had taken Xia Hanshi's words to heart, he would not have been seriously injured, tortured, and threatened by the followers of the Black Tuo.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
Just then, the door opened, and Xue Fei walked in with a strange expression.
He frowned. This restless nephew of his had just been scolded and told not to bother him.
Just as he was about to reprimand him, he noticed that several more figures had walked in behind Xue Fei.
“Teng Liang…” Wei Yinshuo’s eyelids twitched. “Bu Siqi, Su Chen?”
"Judge Wei..." The moment Su Chen walked in, his gaze locked onto Wei Yinshuo. The injuries were more serious than he had imagined. His body was covered in wounds, and black blood was gushing out from time to time.
"Such a serious injury?" Bu Siqi was taken aback and almost burst out laughing, but quickly suppressed it.
Wei Yinshuo snorted inwardly, but sighed on the surface, "I didn't expect the three of you to come too."
"Your Honor, you're too kind. We all eat together in the courtroom; we're all family," Su Chen said with emotion. "Seeing your injuries all over your body, I truly..."
He sighed repeatedly.
I can tell you really couldn't help but laugh, Xue Fei said expressionlessly.
"How come your injuries are still so serious?" Teng Liang, on the other hand, looked quite presentable, with a solemn expression, but those who knew him well knew that he acted this way towards everyone.
Wei Yinshuo's long face twisted into a bitter smile. "The remaining power of the evil god is wreaking havoc in my body, so I dare not use overly aggressive treatment methods. I can only take it slowly."
Su Chen's brow twitched. He had residual power of the evil god within him. Could this be what he was feeling?
Misunderstand?
No, Su Chen denied it... His senses were extremely strong and clear, and could not be concealed by a few words of residual evil god power.
Wei Yinshuo could deceive the testing equipment in the courtroom, but he couldn't be fooled.
The three chatted for a while, but the atmosphere became awkward, and Xue Fei couldn't stand it anymore.
Su Chen had already gotten the general idea of what he wanted, so he didn't bother with further words and took his leave.
Xue Fei, with a somber expression, escorted them to the elevator. Once the elevator reached the first floor, he sneered, "How absurd."
As Bu Siqi stepped out of the elevator, she was already on the verge of collapse, but Su Chen found the nurse on duty and asked, "How is Judge Wei's injury? What are the specifics?"
"Junior brother, there's no one else on the first floor." Bu Siqi thought Su Chen was getting addicted to acting.
The already sparsely populated medical ward has been almost completely purged, now serving only Wei Yinshuo.
The nurse on duty recognized Su Chen, her gaze lingering on his handsome face for a few seconds before she shook her head, saying, "No, I can't say." "Oh, I see." Su Chen suddenly realized, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. The spiritual seed had already been implanted within him, and not only that, the nurse's eyes also seemed slightly dazed.
Mind control + mental seed.
He was not yet able to overcome the distance limitation to perform long-distance mental manipulation, so he could only temporarily plant a suggestion, instructing the other party to review Wei Yinshuo's medical records.
In this way, once he returns, he can obtain the information he desires through the spiritual seed.
Once outside the medical ward, Bu Siqi finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Did you guys see that just now? Wei Yinshuo was laughing so hard. It was so hard for me to hold it in."
"How is his chance of survival?" Teng Liang asked abruptly.
“Almost nothing.” Bu Siqi gloated. “The residual power of the evil god in his blood will make him suffer.”
His profession allows him to sense the blood of others and thus infer their health.
Bu Siqi couldn't sense Wei Yinshuo at his peak, but now, apart from clinging to life, Wei Yinshuo was practically no different from a dead man.
Su Chen remained silent the entire way. He followed Bu Siqi and escorted Teng Liang back to the Trial Office before returning to his residence and entering the gravity chamber.
He awakened his own spiritual seed and entered the perspective of the young nurse.
The nurse was looking through the virtual terminal, where the text and pictures were Wei Yinshuo's treatment records.
"...The remaining demonic power is extremely resilient and cannot be removed by conventional treatments..."
"...His spiritual body shattered, but was repaired by Judge You..."
"... "
After a long while, Su Chen finally came to his senses and gathered information from all sides.
“Wei Yinshuo confused the concepts, making everyone else believe that the power of those strange gods remained in his body, but that is not the case.”
"But his spiritual body has been examined, so he's definitely not a follower of the Black Tortoise. Then what is the Black Tortoise power within him for?"
Su Chen secretly speculated: "But this situation can't be kept secret for long. The lingering evil god's power can't be driven away. Even a fool can see that something is wrong."
"He should be aware of the risks of this behavior, either because there are other hidden reasons, or because he needs to complete what he wants to do in a short period of time."
"Could they be after me?" Su Chen frowned, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "It would be best to strike while the iron is hot and kill him."
But killing a presiding judge, even a severely wounded one, is extremely difficult.
Su Chen frowned. Should he find someone to report him?
He thought of the old method again, but immediately rejected it, saying it would be too troublesome and most likely useless, since Wei Yinshuo was the presiding judge.
Poisoned?
No, that place is a medical ward. Unless we can control everyone there, and that kind of high-level poison is not easy to obtain; it's easy to trace its source.
He thought about it for a long time and felt it was a real challenge.
Even if I were to risk taking matters into my own hands, and even if Wei Yinshuo were seriously injured, getting close would be a huge problem. He also has a strong security force around him, and Xue Fei is a fifth-tier professional.
Not to mention, this is inside the courtroom.
Even if the medical ward is in a remote location, if something really big happens, Chongjingtian can get there in no time.
"If all else fails, go hide in the translation office."
After thinking for a long time, he realized that he really had no good ideas. He then thought of a way out: "Let's see how long this guy can hold out. If Wei Yinshuo can really keep it a secret, then we'll think of something else."
He knew he had to hide, so he immediately contacted Sang Hanhai, saying he was going to go there to study for a while.
Old Sang was quite surprised, but he didn't refuse. He just told him to come back in a week, saying that he was translating something important and couldn't spare the time.
Su Chen wasn't in a hurry; Wei Yinshuo's injuries wouldn't heal in a short time.
"It would be wise to make some other preparations beforehand, just in case," Su Chen thought, rubbing his chin. "Have that Tie Yan get me some things that can aid in concealment, and a mask..."
.........
A few days later, Wei Yinshuo received two more visitors.
"...Your Honor..." Xiao Ying walked in with a look of sincere grief on her face, "I never imagined that you were so badly injured."
After saying that, he explained, "I went home for the New Year's Eve and only came back today. I came to see you as soon as possible."
"How is your father?" Wei Yinshuo asked with a smile.
Xiao Ying quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
He Kang, who was standing next to him, said, "Old Wei recently advanced to the fifth rank and is trying his best to stabilize his position. He really can't get away from this."
“You already said that when you came last time, I know,” Wei Yinshuo chuckled. “Everyone has their own things to do, and the court needs to keep running. There’s no need for everyone to come and see this old man.”
"I heard that Su Chen came to see you a couple of days ago?" Xiao Ying asked tentatively.
“Yes.” Wei Yinshuo nodded, a hint of something unspeakable flashing in his eyes, and said with emotion, “Xia Hanshi’s student is indeed different from him.”
Xiao Ying's expression stiffened slightly, and she lowered her voice, saying, "But back then, he didn't give Chu Xuan any face at all."
"You probably don't know how hard Chu Xuan tried to defeat him, but on the stage... sigh..."
He hesitated, looking regretful, which made He Kang frown and feel disgusted.
Wei Yinshuo said indifferently, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Chu Xuan is already dead, and I don't want anyone to use him for their own purposes."
He Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Although Wei Yinshuo and Xia Hanshi did not get along, he was at least reasonable.
Xiao Ying's expression darkened considerably, but Wei Yinshuo said, "I'm tired."
Standing to the side, Xue Fei thought it was a pity and immediately stepped forward to see the guest off.
Xiao Ying could only say helplessly, "Then you should rest."
Once outside the medical department, He Kangcai said coldly, "What exactly do you want?"
“Some things have to be done by someone.” Xiao Ying shook her head slightly.
He Kang was furious. In his mind, there should be limits to competition, and Xiao Ying had crossed the line.
He was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.
In the distance, the sky, which had just begun to darken, was gradually being dyed blood red, with streaks of scarlet lightning twisting wildly in mid-air.
