Chapter 695 -655: Two Months Later_3

“Understood.” Vice President Brown flipped through the relevant documents: “I’ll first attempt to initiate questioning and impeachment in Congress. If the congressional level fails to bring down the Security Bureau’s Second Commander, I’ll then take concrete actions.”

At his peak, Second Commander Lin Tianchen was near Divine Envoy Level strength, and might have even achieved it. But now, he is on the brink of death.

How is he, and his loyal followers, qualified to oversee such critical departments as the ‘Sky Extreme Star Trade Monitoring Center’ and the ‘National Security Special Action Center’?

Two months later, within the ‘Capital’ warship of the Earth Federation, inside an office marked C3 on Capitol Hill, a closed-door questioning meeting initiated by the National Security Committee was underway.

In the meeting room, a white-haired elderly woman was brandishing a paper report in her hand, her demeanor aggressive as she barked at Second Commander Lin Tianchen: “Deputy Director Lin, you’re still evading my question! What I want to know is whether your alien form can currently execute the Security Bureau’s mission on Sky Extreme Star and whether it has the ability to protect the interests of the Earth Federation on Sky Extreme Star!”

Lin Tianchen sat at the questioning table, his face indifferent as he looked at Congressional Security Committee member Edian Kinman.

“Ms. Kinman, I dedicate myself wholly to safeguarding this nation and its people in the Earth Federation. Furthermore, according to Federation regulations, no individual or authority has the right to use public power to investigate or inquire about information regarding Alien Walkers. You’ve violated the rules, Ms. Kinman.”

“Still evading.” Edian Kinman sneered as she waved the paper report again: “According to our intelligence, your alien form has encountered significant difficulties, not only incapacitated but even facing the risk of death. In this condition, how can you continue to fulfill your duties or uphold your responsibilities?”

Lin Tianchen crossed his arms: “Ms. Kinman, I’d like to know where this report came from? Which intelligence agency provided it?”

Lin Rui was also present in the meeting room, attending in the capacity of ‘Thunder’ General.

He was likewise a subject of the National Security Committee’s questioning, but his turn was scheduled after Lin Tianchen’s.

Lin Rui was astounded, thinking to himself that today Lin Tianchen had indeed taught him a lesson: the best way to handle congressional questioning is to answer evasively, talk past the point, and simultaneously challenge the opponent’s legitimacy and rationality.

However, Lin Rui also noticed the fury and doubt building in the eyes of Second Commander Lin Tianchen.

For this questioning today, various political forces within Congress, including the ‘Bright Front,’ had been openly and covertly battling for over two months. In the end, Lin Tianchen couldn’t prevent this questioning case from happening.

Although this was merely a non-public internal inquiry, for Lin Tianchen, it wasn’t just a warning sign for caution but also a profound humiliation.

This indicated that certain people had already marked this Congressional Honorary Member as prey, preparing for the hunt and kill!

Zhou Yunfei, who was also present at the questioning, clenched his fists tighter as veins bulged on his arms and neck.

This pack of hyenas—they intend to provoke, humiliate, and even prey on the weakened lion that is his benefactor?

“I can naturally guarantee the absolute reliability of the intelligence in my hands.” Edian Kinman narrowed her brows.

Just as the woman was about to continue speaking, Fang Xianzheng raised his hand: “Enough!”

He rubbed his forehead with slight impatience: “The two of you have been entangled for nearly three hours. This approach is pointless. Why not proceed directly with a vote on Ms. Kinman’s trust motion concerning Deputy Director Lin? All members of the committee who still trust Deputy Director Lin, please raise your hands!”

The other members of the Security Bureau exchanged glances before nodding slightly.

After being subjected to three hours of back-and-forth sparring, they too were fed up.

The result: seven members, including Fang Xianzheng, raised their hands to express trust, while five refrained. With the First Commander absent and the Second Commander seated at the questioning table, this meant the trust motion was passed.

Edian Kinman showed no surprise at the outcome.

This Lin Tianchen—somehow, he had managed to cozy up to one of the ruling party’s allies, the ‘Bright Front.’

Fang Ranran from the ‘Bright Front’ could directly influence her father Fang Xianzheng.

Additionally, over the past two months, numerous business tycoons in the Earth Federation had obtained trade licenses for the Great Song’s Star Port through Lin Rui’s connections, significantly boosting his clout in both the business and political arenas.

They could push the questioning case all the way to implementation, but it was extremely difficult to take down the Second Commander.

“I reserve my opinion.” Edian Kinman sneered as she locked her gaze on Lin Tianchen: “Furthermore, I request a vote on my second motion. The Second Commander must demonstrate his ability to fulfill the duties of the Security Bureau’s Second Commander within one month.”

Fang Xianzheng pondered briefly, tapping the table with his fingers: “Ms. Kinman, one month is too short. How about three months instead?”

Edian Kinman furrowed her brows but then nodded indifferently.

This vote ended in a 3-to-10 result, with even Fang Xianzheng raising his hand in approval.

Second Commander Lin Tianchen’s gaze instantly turned icy sharp, sweeping coldly across everyone present.

He could sense a massive wave of malice surging toward him.

—Was it the Longevity Association?

At that moment, Lin Rui sent a message: Don’t worry, Deputy Commander Lin. King Ming’s envoy will arrive at the Star Port tomorrow to discuss matters with me. Supposedly, it’s Shancai Divine Envoy Zhao Chongling from the Light God Sect. I’ll probe King Ming’s stance to see if we can strike a deal.

After reading the message, Lin Tianchen felt his tension ease. This plan appeared far more reliable than Li Xianglong’s regency proposal.

Li Xianglong intended to incite suspicions between ‘East Abyss’ and the two Song dynasty figures hidden within Purgatory, Grand Ancestor and Grand Emperor, thereby enabling Lin Rui to act as regent in place of the Song imperial family. However, this plan was not only complex but also fraught with uncertainties.

Who could predict when the Three Gods of Purgatory might launch their offensive?

In contrast, King Ming had already demonstrated his control over the ‘Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire.’

Fang Xianzheng raised his head again: “Now, let’s proceed to questioning regarding General ‘Thunder’ Lin Rui’s abnormal personnel appointments and financial allocation case.”
