You're sending max-level players to be cannon fodder?

Late at night, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight gradually brightened.

As soon as the woman entered the entryway, she took off her high heels. With each step, her clothes scattered on the floor, followed by rustling sounds. The shadows on the wall accentuated the stretching and pulling motions.

"Oh dear, it's a bit tight." The woman said, and with a soft "click," a piece of white silk fell to her waist. As she moved, a gray spot resembling a mole could be vaguely seen. When the silk fell completely off, the person who had been wearing it was now completely black, with charred skin. She was slightly overweight and sighed as she pushed open the bathroom door.

Upon closer inspection, what lay on the ground wasn't silk at all, but a whole piece of human skin lying askew!

"Bai Qingqing, 24 years old, dropped out of school two years ago and has a history of bipolar disorder. She usually stays at home and doesn't move around much. A week ago, she got into a fight and was taken to the police station. Because of timely compensation, the two parties reached a settlement. However, during the routine blood collection, it was discovered that her blood type was completely different from the recorded one." Sun Chen reported, "Now Bai Qingqing has completely disappeared. Traces of contaminants were found at the place where she was last seen."

Tan Que quickly scrolled across the screen and continued, "Li You, 30 years old, is the female CEO of Shanghe Group. She is successful in her career, unmarried, and childless. According to the investigation of Bai Qingqing's bank records, it was found that Li You transferred 50,000 yuan to her account two days ago."

Meng Jing asked, "What is the relationship between the two?"

"It doesn't matter," Sun Chen said. "These two are completely unrelated. Shanghe Group even cooperated with your Huaigu Group two years ago."

Tan Que continued, "Bai Qingqing's life in Area A is in grave danger. We've confirmed that she has never worked for Shanghe Group before."

Zhong Xun, who was standing nearby, stared at the section listing Bai Qingqing's bipolar disorder and suddenly asked, "Is this the first time Bai Qingqing has been to the police station for assaulting someone?"

"Yes, according to the neighbors, many of them have only seen Bai Qingqing a few times. When the girl occasionally goes out, she is always covered up and is not good at talking to people."

What caused the fight?

Sun Chen continued, "She said that someone cut in line while she was queuing, so she started cursing at them on the spot. Then, the man who was with her saw that Bai Qingqing was a girl and pushed her. As a result, Bai Qingqing threw the hot milk tea she was holding at the man's head, and he got punched on the spot."

Zhong Xun asked one last question: "Where's Li You?"

Tan Que shrugged: "They've disappeared too."

Zhong Xun tapped his long fingers lightly on the table twice, then said, "Bai Qingqing got into a fight a week ago, and Li You wired money two days ago. The settlement amount was 35,000 yuan. Logically speaking, this should be considered mutual fighting, but the male head of the household was seriously injured and almost disfigured. His family is not wealthy either, so he readily agreed to a settlement because of this 35,000 yuan. This is absurd."

  

"Would a patient who stays at home year-round, even with bipolar disorder, resort to violence over a waiting area?"

"She can even beat an adult male."

"You said Bai Qingqing's life in Area A is precarious, which means she will soon be unable to afford the expenses here, but she didn't even frown when they reached a settlement, as if she knew there would be 50,000 yuan in her account to cover her expenses."

"The contrast before and after is too great; he doesn't seem like a single person at all."

"Li You's disappearance is even more intriguing, as if he knew in advance that the police would find out."

"Ultimately, the case was reported to the tribunal because the police determined it was related to pollutants."

After Zhong Xun's summary, the meeting room fell silent.

"They're both missing now," Zhong Xun whispered. "Wait. They couldn't possibly have avoided buying groceries, using messaging apps and payment apps. As long as someone is alive, they'll leave traces under widespread identity scanning, unless..."

Meng Jingting said in a deep voice, "Unless they are no longer human."

Sun Chen leaned back: "Sometimes I wonder if this is really Area A."

Xu Hengzhou spoke up: "Song Chu has already used living people for fusion experiments, what else can't happen?"

With Du Ruosen as a cautionary tale, when the case first arrived at the court, Meng Jingting initially suspected Song Chu's side. However, the suspicion was quickly cleared. Even though Bai Qingqing was down on her luck, she was still from Area A, and Li You was a big shot in the business world. Song Chu simply didn't dare to be so conspicuous.

"Keep a close watch as planned." Meng Jing gave the order: "Report any unusual activity immediately."

"yes!"

The tense atmosphere of the meeting dissipated, and a second-level adjudicator named Qian Ruizhe stood up and said in a very respectful tone, "Dr. Zhong, the restaurant has braised pork and soy sauce chicken for lunch. Would you like me to get you a serving?"

His clear and resonant voice conveyed a powerful and focused delivery.

As soon as he said that, someone immediately chimed in, "Dr. Chung, there are also fennel potato pancakes, they're delicious, would you like some for me too?"

Xie Wencheng braced his arms on the table and covered his face.

"Freshly squeezed orange juice is also very nutritious, ensuring Dr. Chung is full!"

Meng Jing leaned back in his chair.

Xu Hengzhou turned to Tan Que beside him and said, "My eyes hurt because I've been staying up too late lately."

Tan Que's lips twitched: "Hmm, I'll go to the infirmary later."

Everyone was really trying their best to hold back their laughter.

After Zhong Xun ate like a starving ghost at the cafeteria at 1:30 a.m. the night before, the cafeteria auntie stayed up all night and sat seriously among her old friends. In a few words, she portrayed Judge Meng as a cruel person who was very harsh on his Omega and would not give him food if he got angry.

The other aunties then said to the other arbitrators, "Tell your boss, people need to eat. No matter how much conflict there is between the couple, you can't just not feed them."

"Have you heard? The boss isn't even letting Dr. Chung eat!"

"Did you hear? Dr. Zhong came back to the break room exhausted after a long day, and the boss didn't even give him food!"

"Why aren't they giving us food?!"

"They've locked me up for five days without food!"

……

The saying "three men can make a tiger" applies here. Even though everyone knew there was some exaggeration involved, it didn't stop them from sympathizing with the hardworking Dr. Zhong.

Qian Ruizhe felt as if he had found his main force, and was immediately filled with enthusiasm: "Dr. Zhong, don't worry, with us here, we'll take care of everything..."

The words abruptly stopped, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. From the deep darkness behind him emerged Meng Jingting's cold and icy face: "Guarding what?"

Zhong Xun smiled and pulled Meng Jingting away, saying, "Let's go eat."

He waved to the crowd behind him: "Thanks, brothers."

Only after the meeting room door was completely closed did Xie Wencheng's suppressed laughter escape.

Even the usually serious Xu Hengzhou laughed, "Old Qian, how come I never noticed you were so bold before?"

"I'm doing this out of selflessness to give the boss a wake-up call. Our tribunal only has this one medic capable of group counseling, and Dr. Bu has to go out for exchanges and learning from time to time. It's wrong to exploit Dr. Zhong!"

"Haha, let's go eat!"

In the evening, Zhong Xun received a phone call from Li Mi (who appears in Chapter Thirteen) inviting him to dinner.
