My Girlfriend is a Zombie Chapter 661: What About the Promised Evidence?

Chapter 661: What About the Promised Evidence?
Mi Tan nodded expressionlessly, glanced at Yuwen Xuan, and then walked past him into the room.....
Gao Wei, however, wore a look of fury as he passed by Yuwen Xuan.
He discreetly extended a hand towards Yuwen Xuan, making a provocative gesture.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Yuwen Xuan turned his head and asked.
Zhang Yu leaned in close to Yuwen Xuan’s ear and whispered, “It’s the Investigative Team’s usual tactic. One plays the bad cop, the other the good cop. Gao Wei’s nasty attitude is just to test us.”
“What if both of them play bad cop?” Yuwen Xuan scratched the back of his head and asked.
“If that’s the case, it means they don’t just distrust you…” Zhang Yu straightened up and said.
He watched as each member of the Investigative Team entered the room, then suddenly exclaimed, “Strange, Chief of Staff Su didn’t come today. She was the one who strongly recommended you. Even though she was forced into it and purely for the sake of headquarters, if the Investigative Team’s report is unfavorable to you, it’ll be a huge blow to her as well.”
Yuwen Xuan blinked and shrugged indifferently.
Just as he was about to turn and enter, Zhang Yu grabbed him, his expression suddenly becoming very serious: “I’m asking you, what are you really thinking?”
Yuwen Xuan thought for a moment and then said, “I’ll follow Ling Mo’s plan for now. Mutual benefit with Falcon Camp will facilitate our development. But if things go beyond my expectations, I’ll do everything I can to protect this place for Ling Mo.”
“For Ling Mo? But he…” Zhang Yu wanted to say more but saw that Yuwen Xuan was wearing a strange smile.
“Aren’t those two going to find him?” he said, hands in his pockets, looking relaxed as he stepped into the doorway.
Zhang Yu stood there, his expression becoming somewhat conflicted.
No wonder… this guy did it on purpose!
Finding Ling Mo also means finding Li Yalin…
The atmosphere in the conference room was oppressive. More than a dozen people sat around the long table, all staring at the head of the table.
Each person had a sheet of paper and a pen in front of them, their eyes filled with scrutiny and suspicion.
However, when Yuwen Xuan yawned and slouched into his seat, those scrutinizing eyes turned even more exasperated.
Gao Wei’s expression was the most pained; his brows furrowed so tightly they almost touched.
If there was a superpower for killing with a stare, Yuwen Xuan would be riddled with holes by now, dead beyond recognition.
Mi Tan, sitting at the other end of the table, maintained his composure. Holding a folder meticulously, his somewhat cloudy eyes were fixed on Yuwen Xuan.
Normally, anyone being stared at like this would feel highly uncomfortable, but Yuwen Xuan leaned back in his chair, smiling confidently at them.
In contrast, the members of the Investigative Team felt a chill down their spines under Yuwen Xuan’s gaze, compelled to look away.
It was the first time they had encountered someone who could make a smile so unnerving…
After a minute or two of this eerie and heavy silence, Mi Tan finally cleared his throat and spoke, “I am here representing Falcon Camp to ask some questions. Please answer truthfully.”
Another silence followed…
Unable to bear it any longer, Zhang Yu gave Yuwen Xuan a push.
Yuwen Xuan snapped out of his daze, nodding quickly, “Alright, alright…”
The group collectively felt dizzy. So the reason his smile was so creepy was that he was daydreaming!
What kind of person could zone out in such a situation? His lack of a sense of crisis made even them feel a bit deflated!
Gao Wei glanced around, then suddenly slammed the table, “What kind of attitude is that! Just for this behavior, we need to make a note of it!”
“Go ahead, make it sound good,” Yuwen Xuan said cooperatively.
“You…” Gao Wei wanted to explode, but looking at Yuwen Xuan’s genuinely earnest expression, he suddenly felt that taking this seriously would mean losing…
This guy is a real lunatic!
“Just routine questions, no need to be nervous,” Mi Tan said, lifting his eyes to glance at Yuwen Xuan.
However, as soon as he said this, everyone in the room couldn’t help but think: Has this person ever been nervous?!
With the pleasantries over, it was time to get down to business.
Mi Tan spoke slowly, but his words were crystal clear.
In the small conference room, his voice reached everyone’s ears precisely.
“Did the Second Camp bypass Falcon Camp to contact external forces and discuss cooperation? Did this actually happen?” Mi Tan’s first question was a bombshell.
Zhang Yu felt a chill run up his spine. So this was what it was about…
Starting with such a sharp question meant that the ones to follow would undoubtedly be even more pointed.
This old man, though quiet, had a strong impact.
In contrast, Gao Wei, with his blustering demeanor, only threw out soft threats.
Someone like Yuwen Xuan would not be intimidated by a “note in the record.”
“Well…” Zhang Yu began, but Mi Tan’s gaze shifted to him.
Locked by the old man’s stare, Zhang Yu felt a wave of tension wash over him.
That gaze was sharp as a knife!
“Let me answer that,” Yuwen Xuan interjected. “We did bypass Falcon Camp, but we didn’t initiate the contact. In fact, I’d like to ask, they’ve already talked to the camp over there, so why didn’t anyone inform us?”
Brilliant!
Zhang Yu couldn’t help but secretly give Yuwen Xuan a thumbs-up.
This idiot could be surprisingly reliable when needed.
This counter-question hit the core issue, turning the tables on Mi Tan.
Members of the Investigative Team exchanged glances, and those busy taking notes paused.
Gao Wei couldn’t sit still any longer and slammed the table again. “What kind of question is that! When the camp decides, they’ll give orders to the Second Camp when action is needed. By bypassing the camp and signing agreements, you’re practically treating yourself as a third party!”
“That’s the right principle,” Mi Tan nodded.
But Yuwen Xuan smirked and said, “What’s the point of this nonsense? Everyone knows I operate semi-independently…”
“……”
The room fell into a stunned silence. Gao Wei and the Investigative Team members were completely dumbfounded.
Though what Yuwen Xuan said was indeed true—something he and the higher-ups tacitly understood—there was no need to be so casual about it! He didn’t even bother to find an excuse, just bluntly stated the truth…
Most of the Investigative Team members were there merely to observe and take notes. They had never encountered someone like this before, leaving them all stunned and speechless, unable to recover quickly.
Gao Wei, however, quickly regained his composure. He began to grit his teeth, thinking of a countermeasure, but couldn’t come up with the right words.
How do you deal with someone this unyielding and shameless?
“Ahem…” Mi Tan cleared his throat again, still maintaining his stern expression. He spoke slowly, “But you did indeed tell them to find someone named Ling Mo for negotiations, right? I want to ask, who exactly is Ling Mo, that he can make decisions for the Second Camp?”
Now it was Zhang Yu’s turn to be stunned.
He felt a chill run through his body and immediately began to recall the meetings he attended or the people he had spoken to afterward.
He glanced nervously at Yuwen Xuan, unsure of how he would handle this question.
Gao Wei, on the other hand, sighed in relief and looked provocatively at Yuwen Xuan.
Got you now, didn’t I?
Yuwen Xuan cracked his knuckles, lowered his head in thought, and hesitantly moved his lips.
“Speak up! Let’s see what you can come up with now!” Gao Wei thought with a cold sneer.
“Did that happen? Where’s the evidence?” Yuwen Xuan’s eyes widened, filled with genuine confusion.
This left everyone not just shocked but even made Mi Tan raise an eyebrow.
He had used the word “indeed,” yet the other party still denied it…
If anyone else had denied it, fine, but for the head of the Second Camp to lie so brazenly in front of so many people…
Zhang Yu’s eye twitched. Couldn’t you come up with a better excuse?
You’re making a fool of yourself…
“Yuwen Xuan, you…” Gao Wei was trembling with anger, at a loss for words.
How could they produce evidence? Should they expose their own informants?
Yuwen Xuan suddenly changed his demeanor, his tone turning icy: “Who do you think you are! How dare you call me by my name! Go back and ask around; I’m also the Deputy Chief of Staff at headquarters!”
Gao Wei was dumbfounded by this retort.
He was used to Yuwen Xuan’s crazy talk but didn’t expect him to be this audacious…
The worst part was, Gao Wei couldn’t argue back!
Despite his clenched teeth, Gao Wei had no choice but to shut his mouth.
Mi Tan looked deeply at Yuwen Xuan and said, “It seems there’s no need to ask the remaining questions. If possible, I hope to meet Ling Mo.”
With that, he stood up.
The members of the Investigative Team also stood up, albeit with puzzled expressions.
Was it over already? It felt like it had just started!
“Take care,” Yuwen Xuan said with a cheerful wave from his seat.
Mi Tan nodded slightly before turning to walk out the door.
Gao Wei, fearing that another second of looking at Yuwen Xuan would drive him mad, quickly followed.
As soon as they stepped outside, Gao Wei couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Captain, are we just leaving it at that?”
“Hasn’t his attitude made it clear?” Mi Tan replied calmly.
“Made it clear?” Gao Wei was bewildered. Apart from causing chaos, what had that lunatic done?
Mi Tan stopped, turned to Gao Wei, and for a moment, his gaze was inscrutable. “His attitude shows he doesn’t want to burn bridges. It’s also a way to test us. At least for now, that’s the case.”
With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked forward. “Let’s go. Don’t expect them to entertain us.”
“No dinner?!” Gao Wei was dumbfounded. What kind of people are these?
He turned back to look into the conference room.
Seeing Yuwen Xuan lounging carelessly in his chair made Gao Wei frown.
“At this rate, it might be better to eliminate the threat of Ling Mo first…” Gao Wei couldn’t help but think.
But then he shook his head. That was just wishful thinking…
