"You can't do this! I've bled for Xianzhou Luofu, I've risked my life for Xianzhou Luofu! I want to see the General, I want to see Si Ding!"
A medic, held by two Earth Entrust Division enforcement officers and being led away, lifted his head and shouted towards the sky.
It was as if he had suffered some immense injustice.
Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, "Oh, isn't Si Ding right here?"
The next second, countless pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to Nan Li, who was watching the commotion.
The medic, being led away, seemed to have spotted a lifeline before drowning and began to struggle violently.
He forcefully broke free from the two Earth Entrust Division enforcement officers and then hurried over to Nan Li.
"Si Ding, save me, Si Ding!"
The medic said, kneeling before Nan Li.
In less than three seconds, he was already crying profusely.
The two enforcement officers who had been following him were at a loss for what to do.
They wanted to stay put, but so many eyes were watching.
They wanted to go forward and continue to restrain the medic, but Nan Li, the person involved, hadn't said anything.
Just as the two didn't know what to do, the Earth Entrust Division enforcement captain, who was leading the team, came over to Nan Li.
"Um… Si Ding, you wouldn't obstruct us, would you?"
While speaking, the enforcement captain was already thinking that if Nan Li told them not to make the arrest, they would have to temporarily retreat and report to a certain pink-haired, short acting General.
However, what Nan Li said next was quite unexpected.
"Of course not. I just came out of seclusion from the Supreme Mystery Alchemy Chamber. I just happened to be passing by and watching the show."
According to Nan Li's understanding of Fu Xuan, since she wanted to arrest this medic, then this person must have committed a crime.
Seeing this, the Earth Entrust Division enforcement officers all breathed a sigh of relief.
What they feared most was encountering superiors who were unreasonable, liked to use their power to shield their subordinates, and obstructed them from performing their official duties.
Clearly, Nan Li was not that kind of person.
Should it be said that he truly lived up to being their noble Si Ding?
And the medic kneeling on the ground, seeing Nan Li say this, his face instantly filled with terror.
"Ah?! Si-Si Ding, I fought on the battlefield with you, have you forgotten?"
"Of course not, I remember you. You saved quite a few Cloud Knights on the battlefield back then."
Nan Li was referring to the third war with The Abundance.
At that time, he had led a group of medics from the Dan Ding Division to provide support, and this person was among the medic team.
How could Nan Li have not forgotten him, given that he had followed the path of memory for a period of time, and had even been glanced at by the Aeon of memory, Fuli?
"What, do you want me to speak up and save you?"
Hearing Nan Li's question, the medic kneeling on the ground's eyes immediately lit up.
"Yes, yes, yes! Si Ding, I'm innocent, please save me!"
"I trust how Fu Xuan handles things, but… still, show me what he's accused of, will you?"
Towards the end of his sentence, Nan Li turned to look at the leading enforcement captain.
The latter naturally had no objections to Nan Li's request.
He quickly handed a document to Nan Li.
It recorded the criminal records of all the Dan Ding Division medics arrested this time.
Most of them were involved in smuggling prohibited drugs.
During her time as acting General, Fu Xuan truly made her presence felt, like a new official taking office with three fires.
Before her General's seat was even warm, she began to crack down on certain beastly capitalists.
Those who deserved punishment were punished, and those who deserved to be arrested were arrested.
She strictly enforced the Xianzhou laws.
Her actions naturally drew dissatisfaction and strong opposition from those people.
To this, Fu Xuan only left one sentence:
"Since you don't want to do business on the Xianzhou, there are plenty of others who do."
Facing such a strong Fu Xuan, no matter how much anger they harbored in their hearts, they could only back down.
After all, there were indeed many people who wanted to do business on the Xianzhou.
If they didn't want to follow the Xianzhou's regulations, there were plenty of others who would.
It wasn't just them; even some of the Xianzhou's power holders suffered.
After all, for these people to be so arrogant, there must have been support from power holders behind them.
Fu Xuan treated these power holders equally.
Those who needed to be investigated were investigated, and those who needed to be arrested were arrested.
She despised these corrupt and bribe-taking scumbags who held positions without contributing.
Among those arrested were not only management from the Sky-Faring Commission, Earth Entrust Division, and Ministry of Industry, but also several Dragon Masters of the Vidyadhara.
Further investigation then revealed that some members of Nan Li's Dan Ding Division had also committed offenses.
Most of them were privately selling prohibited drugs to outsiders.
And the offense committed by this medic kneeling on the ground was quite serious.
"Oh? You actually sold medicine to the Antimatter Legion? With that, I can't save you even if I wanted to."
Nan Li's voice was not soft; he had no intention of deliberately hiding it, which led to some of the curious onlookers hearing it.
The next second, the audience instantly erupted in an uproar.
"What?! This guy actually sold medicine to the Antimatter Legion?!"
"He deserves to die! How dare he claim innocence! This is clearly aiding the enemy!"
"Si Ding, just kill him! Such a person should be executed on the spot!"
"Yes, yes! He absolutely cannot be let go!"
Seeing the surrounding crowd filled with righteous indignation, the medic kneeling on the ground also quickly shouted.
"It's a misunderstanding! Si Ding, I didn't know they were the Antimatter Legion at all at the time!
"If I had known they were the Antimatter Legion, I wouldn't have sold those medicines to them at all. Please investigate thoroughly, sir!"
The cursing from the crowd and the wailing from the medic in front of him made his head ache for a moment.
Nan Li raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling for them to be quiet.
The cursing onlookers and the wailing medic on the ground instantly fell silent.
"Alright, how to investigate is the Earth Entrust Division's business; I, as Si Ding, do not have that authority.
"And whether you are truly innocent or not, I believe the brothers of the Earth Entrust Division will clear your name."
Hearing Nan Li say this, the medic wanted to say something more, but as soon as he met Nan Li's gaze, he quickly shut his mouth and then lowered his head in despair.
Even if he was truly innocent, selling prohibited drugs to the Antimatter Legion was a fact.
Even if he was eventually released from prison, he would still be scorned by those around him, and even the entire Xianzhou populace.
Alas! He was ultimately blinded by profit… "Si Ding, this person… shall we take him away?"
"Yes, take him away. You should investigate these people as you see fit; don't worry about me."
"Yes."
Having received Nan Li's approval, the Earth Entrust Division enforcement officers then carried out their mission without restraint.
Soon, with the departure of the Earth Entrust Division enforcement team, there was no more excitement to watch at the Dan Ding Division.
The curious onlookers also began to disperse.
"Oh my, I didn't expect there to be such dirty dealings hidden within the Dan Ding Division."
"Hmm? What do you mean? Are you implying that Si Ding's management is poor?"
"No, I don't mean that at all."
"I don't care what you mean. I've already reported you to the Earth Entrust Division. Whether you have an issue or not, you can discuss it with the brothers of the Earth Entrust Division."
"No, what are you doing? Hey? Let go of me!"
Soon, the passerby who was reported as a suspected spy was restrained by several Xianzhou people around him.
Not long after, he was taken away by two Earth Entrust Division enforcement officers who had returned.
This was a sensitive period.
As for whether this passerby was innocent or not, that would only be known after an investigation.
At this moment, Nan Li, who had returned to his Si Ding office, sat at his desk and took out his jade amulet to check the trending topics on the Xianzhou Luofu network.
Among them, the topic praising a certain pink-haired acting General had considerable popularity.
Seeing this, Nan Li opened his contacts, found Fu Xuan, and sent her a message.
"Nan Li: Diviner, you must have enjoyed being General for this past month, right?"
However, less than two seconds later, Fu Xuan replied.
"Fu Xuan: What Diviner? Now, please call me General!"
