Everything became clear.

Her body was shaking slightly, and she stood there blankly with red eyes.

"Qin Liu, is that you? You're here, are you going to help me?"

Volume 5: Chapter 15 'Qin Liu'

Qin Liu's face was full of disbelief, as if she was shocked by this unexpected reunion.

Bai Lang walked over with unsteady steps. She no longer had any strength left in her body. Before she reached Qin Liu, her body tilted and fell down, but Miss Qin Liu held her up in time.

"Qin Liu." The faint call could not conceal the joy in the tone.

Bella was a little confused at first.

She helped the white wolf up and touched his forehead, which was frighteningly hot.

The girl was so drunk that she probably mistook her for someone she knew, the one called Qin Liu.

Water, get her a glass of water first.

Bella helped Bailang to the bed and turned around to get a glass of water, but Bailang grabbed her arm. She sat back and explained patiently, "I'll go get you a glass of water."

Bai Lang didn't understand what Miss Qin Liu was saying at all. Her brain was in a mess and her thoughts were out of control. She just wanted to hold on to anything that could give her a sense of security.

"No, don't go."

Bella had no choice but to sit back next to the white wolf and look carefully at the girl who was in a bad condition.

She had to admit that Miss Rupert was the most beautiful Rupert she had ever seen. When she first met her, she was more amazed, but now, she looked sick, her cheeks flushed with fever, and she showed an unusual charm.

Although it was not very polite and seemed like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, Bella was still happy to keep watching.

There is no other meaning, this is a very normal thing. In fact, girls are the most capable of appreciating girls, and men's appreciation of female beauty is always tinged with lust.

Bella's little thoughts were soon completely disrupted.

White Wolf, whose consciousness was in a chaotic state, was not satisfied with just holding Miss Qin Liu's hand. Her instinctive desire for security drove her to lean against her with her whole body.

Bella's face turned redder and redder.

She has a rather cold personality and has never been so close to anyone in her life, even if the other person is a girl.

This is really, really hard to get used to.

Her right hand reached up to the arm that was entangled with her, and was about to slowly remove it, when Miss Rupert suddenly spoke in a trembling voice.

"Qin Liu, my head hurts so much."

"Qin Liu, I ate a lot of things I shouldn't have."

"Qin Liu, I almost fell into the sea and was almost caught by those people. I was so scared."

"Qin Liu, please don't leave, okay."

Bella froze.

She remembered that some time ago she was still competitive and jealous of Miss Rupert's actions, and she wanted to transfer her cowardice to prove that the other party was the same person.

Now what? Has the goal been achieved?

She said she was scared.

Bella didn't know, she just knew that she suddenly felt very distressed. She gently shook Miss Rupert's shoulders and whispered softly: "No, I won't leave. You have a good rest."

She saw that Miss Rooper's grip on her arm had relaxed and she was falling into a more peaceful sleep.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, you will feel much better after a good night's sleep.

Bella gently propped up the other person's body and let the sleeping Miss Rupert rest her head on her legs, which would make her feel more comfortable.

She helped the white wolf straighten a strand of messy hair, and couldn't help but gently touch the pale and delicate facial features with her index finger.

She sighed as she listened to the other person's calm breathing, raised her head, and looked blankly through the window at the sea.

What kind of person is that person named Qin Yanagi?

A little, a little envious.

……

When Rank dealt with the mafia on the road and hurriedly chased to the captain's room, this was the scene he saw.

Miss Olisia was lying in the arms of a Vaifan girl, sleeping peacefully, while the Vaifan girl glared at him angrily with her beautiful big eyes, staring at him relentlessly.

"Who are you?" Bella asked her own people in a very serious, even fierce tone.

I should be the one asking this question, Rank thought gloomily. He was about to speak when he saw Miss Vaifan making a gesture of silence to him and pointing her index finger outside.

"Don't disturb her, let's talk outside."

Next, Bella gently placed the person in her arms on the bed and prepared to go out, but Miss Rupert seemed to know that she was going to leave. Even though she was in a deep sleep, she still held her arm.

"You have a good rest, I'll be there later." Bella whispered. She gently took the white wolf's hand away from her arm, then winked at the uninvited guest at the door, and the two walked outside together.

"You are Miss Olisia's..." Rank began to try to guess the relationship between the two.

Olicia? So her name is Olicia, Bella thought. She said without changing her expression, "Yes, I am Olicia's friend. Who are you?"

Sure enough, Rank thought to himself, and he hurriedly explained: "I am Rank, Miss Olicia went to the warehouse on the bottom floor to bring us the antidote. Thanks to her, the mafia has been defeated."

"Heh." Bella didn't know what was going on, and suddenly she got angry. "This is really great. All the pressure is on Olicia, letting her save everyone alone. She is already extremely weak and still has a high fever. Do you know that?"

"I know, I know." Rank lowered his head guiltily. He had already noticed that Miss Olisia's complexion was not normal, but what could he do?

"Forget it, this is not your problem. Tell me, what is the current situation?" Bella let out a long breath and her tone softened again. The crisis on the airship may not have been completely resolved yet, and she must understand the situation first.

Looking at Miss Vaifan, who was serious, calm, and confident, Rank suddenly had a strange feeling of facing his superior in the army. He almost didn't say the words "Report to the commander".

"Everything went smoothly. We had a total of seven Vaifan fighters plus one Filin. We defeated the core group of the Mafia at the bottom. Before I arrived, we subdued nine people in total, and killed seven directly in the fight. The remaining Mafia were in a mess and were still fleeing on the ship. There were probably about a dozen of them."

“Did the Mafia harm the passengers?”

"So far, no. Miss Olicia is also worried about this problem, so she asked us to spread the news that surrender will result in lenient punishment."

"Very good." Bella's face lit up with joy. Miss Olicia's decision made her feel like she had met a great teammate.

Without hesitation, she ordered, "Use the radio to announce to the entire ship: Those who surrender will be treated leniently, and those who capture accomplices will be considered to have made up for their crimes and will be exempted from imprisonment. When you are done, meet me on the lower deck. We must capture all the mafia in one fell swoop."

"Got it." Rank took action immediately and hurried to find the broadcasting room.

Bella looked at this fellow Vaifan in surprise. She didn't expect that she and he would cooperate so well.

Volume 5: Chapter 16: Beneath the Glitz

What Rank said was absolutely right. The Mafia had already become a mess, and the psychologically offensive broadcasts had made it impossible for these people to reunite. It was only a matter of time before the matter was dealt with.

After entering, Bella naturally took over the command of the Vaifan people.

The senior teachers in the Xier Military Academy were all generals in the past. She had studied with them for many years, so she was now able to lead such a small number of people on the ship with ease. Under her overall planning, the mafia was arrested in less than half an hour.

Next, Bella gathered the mafia captives together and asked them to identify each other to make sure that no enemies were missed.

This mafia organization consists of a total of 29 people. 18 of them have been captured alive and 11 of them were killed directly in the battle. Among the 11 people killed, there were two who were killed by her personally and the guy who was suspected to be the leader who was stabbed by Miss Olicia with a fruit knife.

Bella took the lead in interrogating this group of demoralized mafia gangs, mainly to find out the mafia's plan, the location where the passengers were held, and issues related to the antidote.

According to the confession of the mafia, they did not have the antidote, but the effect of the drug lasted for a limited time. Around noon of the next day, all the passengers would wake up one after another and they would just have to wait.

The Vaifan people found ropes, tied up the hands and feet of the mafia members, and locked them all in a small storage room. Afterwards, two Vaifan people stayed behind to guard them, while Bella and others searched for the passengers' locations on the ship based on the new information they had received.

In addition to the large storage room where the Vaifan people woke up, there were two other places where people were held captive.

One is a clean luggage storage room, where all good-looking men and women are locked up. According to the confession of the mafia, they plan to sell the people here to the underground industrial area of ​​Yuegang.

The other place was very hidden, it was inside the staff operating cabin on the bottom floor of the airship. When Bella led the group in, they saw more than 20 crew members lying in a coma and a middle-aged Filin sitting quietly - the captain.

Bella took a step forward and said calmly, "Captain, the Mafia has confessed your actions. Do you want to surrender honestly, or do you plan to struggle?"

The captain frowned in confusion: "Miss, I don't understand. I clearly saved the entire ship's people, so why should I surrender? Or do you still not understand the situation?"

"What do you mean?" Bella asked coldly.

"It seems that you really don't know the situation. No wonder, let me explain it to you." The captain sighed and said slowly, "When our airship was docked at Yuegang, it was hijacked by the mafia. They first took me hostage and asked me to help them."

A Vaifan asked angrily, "So you agreed?"

"Yes, don't be angry first, that was a false promise. I am the captain, and for the safety of everyone, I had to agree..."

The captain described the story of how he fought wits and courage with the mafia and indirectly saved the airship. His meaning was very clear, that he was the biggest contributor in the incident.

Rank was the first to disagree: "What you said is one-sided. The one who really brought the antidote to everyone and saved everyone was Miss Olicia. Where are you?"

"Olicia, is she here now?" the captain asked calmly.

The people of Vaifan looked at each other, and they also realized that Miss Olisia had been missing for a long time.

"No, she wasn't feeling well, so she went back to rest." Bella explained.

The captain's eyes rolled and flickered, and he said in a long tone: "Do you know why she was able to deliver the antidote without being affected by the drug?"

"This..." Rank was stuck. He was actually quite curious.

The captain's face was filled with relief for surviving a disaster, and he said with relief: "When the mafia tampered with the food, I took the risk of swapping a few portions. Now it seems that Olicia is the lucky one. Perhaps it was fate that allowed us to reach this cooperation."

"But what about these people in the room?" Someone else questioned, "They are all your crew members. It is illogical for you to not cooperate with them and look for coincidences or something."

The captain immediately made a sad face: "Do you think I don't know? How could I not think of such a good way to cooperate with my own crew?"

He gave the questioner a meaningful look. "The Mafia is not stupid. They can think of anything you can think of. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, they contacted the crew before launching the attack, making them think that everything was my plan. Our trust was destroyed from the beginning. I am even sure that when the crew wakes up, no matter how I explain, they will insist that I made a shameful deal with the Mafia."

"What can I do? I have done so much for everyone at the risk of my life, but I have not received any understanding from others. I know you still don't believe me now, but I can swear to the heroic spirits of Victoria that I, Rovos Xiuyi, will never have any collusion with the Mafia. Although I am just a fallen noble, I will uphold the honor of the nobility until my death."

The people who came over began to whisper.

"Although there is testimony from the Mafia, there is nothing wrong with what the captain said."

"Slander, it must be the Mafia that is smearing the Captain. Can you believe what those scum say?"

"The captain is a nobleman."

"Ah, yes, the Captain is a noble, he may really be a misunderstood hero."

……

Bella was the only one who did not believe the captain's words at all. On the one hand, it was out of intuition. She thought the captain's explanation was too perfect and extremely misleading.

Everyone seemed to think that the captain was slandered by the Mafia, but these people were already captives. Was it necessary to tell lies and slander a Victorian aristocrat? This would not do them any good.

Another point is that among all the people present, she was the only one who had heard Miss Olicia's description of the cause of the incident - the captain and the mafia were in collusion with each other.

While the others were lost in their discussions, she caught a fleeting, barely perceptible glimpse of smugness on the captain's face.

There's no doubt about it, this cunning venomous snake!

Sadly, she found herself helpless. The captain took the initiative to expose the identity of the nobleman, and without sufficient evidence, she had no way to deal with him.

We have to wait until Miss Olicia wakes up, and then we should have evidence.

But even if we have evidence, what can we do?

Under Victorian law, any crime committed by a noble was to be publicly judged in a national court.

The problem is that the result of this airship accident was just a false alarm and no passengers were injured or killed. What ruling will the Inquisition, which has always upheld the overall reputation of the nobility, make?

Should he declare that there was a scum among the nobility, or should he vindicate him by making up a Victorian-style legend?

The tragic noble was not understood, and he endured humiliation and made sacrifices for the common people. In the end, he was vindicated by the fair and strict court.

Ah! What a beautiful and tragic hymn.

The reason why Bella hated Victoria and had to leave her hometown was that she always hated the hypocrisy beneath the flashy appearance of this empire.

Volume V: Chapter 17 Procedural Justice

Individual power cannot compete with the system, but Bella has her own way of doing things. Even if she will fail in the end, she is unwilling to let despicable and dirty guys get away with it.

"Please be quiet!"

The majesty accumulated from her command actions made her words very convincing among the Vaifans.
