"Has it co to this point... Why didn't he tell ..."
Wang Nuonuo closed her eyes, her lips moved slightly, and this sentence kept echoing in her heart.
"Or is it that... I ca back too late..."
"No, if the charges are so serious, how was he caught?"
The girl's calm heart finally wavered after hearing about Mu Fan's ordeal. However, amidst her panic, all her thoughts still revolved around Mu Fan, prompting her to find a suspicious point worth scrutinizing.
Thinking of this, although worry lingered in Wang Nuonuo's eyes, she still raised her head to look sincerely at Shuang Ming and asked, "Young Master Shuangming, is there so misunderstanding? I only know he ca to represent the academy in the exchange competition, how could a powerless person commit treason."
Shuang Ming shook his head quite regretfully, "I have doubts too, but since the Military Intelligence Bureau has classified it as such, there must be so basis, it can't be baseless."
Seeing the worried look on his daughter's face, Wang Lingfeng's heart finally softened a bit, and he sighed inwardly. He raised his head and said, "Young Master Shuangming, I've also seen that young man Mu Fan, he seed quite stable. However, as he's severely injured this ti, could the Military Intelligence Bureau delay the interrogation?"
"Mu Fan is injured?!!"
Wang Nuonuo's eyes widened; it was only at this mont that she learned such crucial news. This ti, she could no longer remain seated. She turned to look at her father and said word by word, "What else are you hiding from ? Tell everything!"
"During the academy exchange competition, due to his opponent's self-destructing cha, he suffered severe injuries but was taken away by the Military Intelligence Bureau right after entering the treatnt room..." Shuang Ming did not let Wang Lingfeng answer, but instead replied earnestly.
The heir of the Bauhinia Family at this mont was truly handso and gracious.
Nuonuo almost stood up, but her lifelong upbringing forced her to maintain her graceful sitting posture. She asked in as calm a tone as possible, "And now? How is his condition?"
Shuang Ming did not answer but casually summoned a floating tray. He retrieved a Sky Communication device from it and, after pressing a few buttons, a light screen projected out.
It was Mu Fan, sitting quietly in the interrogation room, his head down.
In the pitch-black space, Mu Fan could only be seen under the central spotlight, sitting there silently. His eyes were obscured, and the scene inexplicably carried a sense of suffocation.
The girl's heart skipped a beat upon witnessing this.
This is Mu Fan.
But why had he beco like this...
"Young Master Shuangming..."
"I'm sorry, truly powerless to help. I need to consider my family, and the cost of doing this is too great; the Bauhinia Family isn't just alone."
Shuang Ming showed no intention of leveraging this incident for coercion and instead shook his head earnestly.
"Miss Nuonuo, I understand how you feel. I've made the origins of this matter very clear. It was a pleasure eting you today, Miss Nuonuo, but the current situation doesn't seem suitable for conversation. I'll arrange lunch, and a servant will fetch you later. Let's go soplace to adjust our mood and chat, okay?"
"Of course." Before Nuonuo could speak, Wang Lingfeng said directly from the side.
Upon hearing her father's words, Wang Nuonuo glanced up but did not object, rely nodding quietly. She needed ti to verify.
These words before her, she would not believe until she confird them personally.
"Very well, it's my honor to et Miss Nuonuo."
"Butler, please see Colonel Wang and Miss Nuonuo off."
Shuang Ming rose, nodded sincerely, and then waved to summon the butler, accompanying the father and daughter to the door of the floating stairs.
"Since the information has been verified, it spreads quickly and isn't much of a secret. I apologize for this matter. Although I don't like him because of you, I still feel sorry for not being able to help with what's happening to you."
"Thank you, thank you."
Wang Nuonuo repeated the sa phrase twice but with different tones. Compared to the business-like smile she wore upon arrival, she now seed more genuinely present.
"Take so ti, see you at noon."
Shuang Ming smiled, nodded, and waved.
As the floating staircase door slowly closed, and the image of the father and daughter disappeared, a faint smile crept onto the elegant nobleman's lips.
"Power and influence, invisible and intangible, yet still very real."
With a faint murmur, Shuang Ming shrugged and turned back toward the hall.
...
[Mu Fan absolutely could not have committed such a cri! Soone must have frad him.]
[But if the military tribunal has convicted him, then there must be conclusive evidence...]
What indeed transpired before she arrived!
Less than a thirty-minute drive ho, Wang Nuonuo locked herself directly in the study.
She first contacted Harry, who excitedly cried out that Mu Fan had been taken away for a day. Now, even the academy's top officials couldn't contact the Military Departnt, and there were rumors that Mu Fan's charges were too severe, leaving him cut off from the outside world.
"What exactly happened?"
As ti passed minute by minute, the gathered information confird that Shuang Ming was not wrong!
...
"Nuonuo, your father has sothing to discuss with you."
Two hours later, with lunch ti approaching, Nuonuo still showed no signs of leaving.
At this ti, Wang Lingfeng, looking tired, knocked on the wooden door.
...
"You said I should propose marrying him, and then no matter how big this issue, the Bauhinia Family could suppress it? Such big words! Then why did you speak to that way earlier?" Wang Nuonuo angrily looked at her father.
"That was from a friend's perspective. Think about it, Young Master Shuangming has always kept himself clean before you, and you're the only girl he's publicly expressed interest in marrying. Once you join the Bauhinia Family, the proposal they offer will be beyond anything we can imagine, naturally including your requests."
"You could say, even if you want Shuang Ming to pluck the stars for you, he could make it happen!"
"As long as you make this request as a future mistress, no matter how difficult it is, he will do it. Concerning this country, there is nothing the Bauhinia Family can't handle... absolutely, doesn't exist."
Tears glistened in Nuonuo's eyes. She lifted her head to look at her father, still resolutely shaking her head. She said each word slowly and firmly, "Absolutely... impossible, Mu Fan will be fine, he is stronger than you... stronger than you can imagine!"
Because with Mu Fan's cards, with the black cha he once showed her, with Mu Fan's fiery temperant...
He absolutely will not truly be in trouble!
Absolutely not!
Wang Lingfeng sighed and said no more.
At this mont, he seed to misunderstand Wang Nuonuo's aning.
Strong, by piloting the Thunderhawk, perhaps?
Or was it belonging to Squad S?
