"You're suspected of leaking top secret information!" the effeminate man said.

"I, I didn't!" Ye Yu shook her head vigorously.

"Whether you did or not doesn't matter, only I have the final say!" the effeminate man laughed as he continued, "Ye Yu, do you dare to say you didn't leak anything during your capture?"

"I'm certain, I didn't!" Ye Yu said with unwavering determination.

"Then how did you escape? Don't tell me it was this group of pathetic fools who rescued you!" The effeminate man disdainfully glanced at the members of the Eighteen Iron Knights.

Including Su Chen.

Su Chen's face turned grim.

This man, named Mei Changfeng, not only beat up his brothers, but also insulted them as useless.

If he weren't a member of the Divine Team.

Su Chen would've already stepped in, beaten him to a pulp.

Facing the effeminate man's questions.

Ye Yu lowered her head.

She couldn't say it!

She absolutely couldn't reveal that it was Su Chen and the others who rescued her.

After all, in the end, there was a nuclear explosion.

If it was discovered that the Eighteen Iron Knights were responsible for that nuclear bomb.

Everyone here would have to face a military tribunal.

"What? No response?"

"As far as I know, if you were captured by that Organization, you couldn't have survived if you didn't leak information."

"Of course, even if you did leak information, you still couldn't survive."

"There's only one possibility: you've betrayed your country and become a spy for the evil Organization!"

"Therefore, I, on behalf of the Divine Team, will pass judgment on you!"

Every word from the effeminate man made Ye Yu's heart tremble fiercely.

To keep the secret.

She had endured over a hundred inhumane tortures.

If not for her steadfast faith in the cause, she would have broken long ago.

Since her capture, Ye Yu had lived every day in an unbearable limbo between life and death.

But no matter what, she never revealed a single word about the Organization.

She even angered the interrogation experts of Heavenly.

Who developed several brutal punishments specifically for her.

For example, using a scalpel to scrape the flesh from her face and hands.

Or cutting open her abdomen and stitching a live rat inside.

Such punishments.

Ye Yu endured countless times.

She never imagined.

That she would have a day of escape.

If not for Su Chen.

If not for the Eighteen Iron Knights.

She would have long since either died or been broken.

No willpower, no matter how strong, could withstand such torment.

But now, having finally escaped.

It didn't matter that her face couldn't be restored.

As long as her hands could recover.

She could continue to serve her country.

Yet what awaited her was a military tribunal.

And it was the most severe kind.

Treason...

This kind of charge.

Could lead to immediate execution.

It's impossible to say there was no chill in her heart.

At the very least, she deserved a chance for defense.

But did she have a chance to defend herself?

Against such a formidable machine.

She felt so insignificant.

The opposition only needed a finger to crush her.

Ye Yu felt an overwhelming desolation.

She was not afraid of death.

Nor of sacrifice.

She was only afraid.

That her death would be meaningless.

And so unjust.

From the day she became a Special Soldier.

She had placed life and death beyond her concerns.

Even abandoning honor completely.

Silently doing her duty as an unsung hero behind her country.

But now, she felt so powerless.

"Ye Yu, do you plead guilty?" Mei Changfeng squinted his eyes at Ye Yu.

Plead guilty?

What crime had she committed?

However, pleading not guilty.

Would doom the Eighteen Iron Knights and Su Chen.

Such an accusation.

They couldn't bear.

But if she did plead guilty.

She would likely be executed immediately...

"I was the one who rescued her." At this moment, a calm voice emerged.

Ye Yu turned her head sharply.

And saw that the speaker was Su Chen.

"You?" Mei Changfeng said disdainfully.

He could tell these people were all at the same level.

The first sixteen.

He had swept through them.

Without breaking a sweat.

He easily defeated them.

So, naturally, he grouped Su Chen's prowess the same as those he had already subdued.

"Yes, just me." Su Chen replied coolly.

Mei Changfeng glanced at everyone and said word by word, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but all of you here are garbage!"

"Can garbage rescue someone?"

"Ye Yu, through my interrogation and judgment, I've reached a conclusion, I have the right to execute before reporting, so even if you plead not guilty, the result will be the same!"

"Don't drag these people into it; if you alone plead guilty, I might spare them. Otherwise, they're guilty by association with you!"

Mei Changfeng's words left Ye Yu stunned.

As a member of the Divine Team.

He indeed had the power to execute before reporting.

"I plead guilty!" Finally, Ye Yu gritted her teeth and uttered the three words she least wanted to say.

After speaking, tears began to stream uncontrollably down her face.

She had loyally served her country all her life.

Only to end up with a charge of treason.

Seeing Ye Yu admit guilt.

Mei Changfeng was very satisfied.

Although his actions seemed somewhat arbitrary.

He trusted his judgment.

After all, he knew that Organization very well.

He understood their cruelty.

Rarely could anyone withstand their relentless interrogations.

Even the strongest will could be broken.

Typically.

Under extreme torture.

People would choose a method to end their own life.

Though the guards were tight.

Making suicide almost impossible.

When someone truly wishes to die.

No one could stop them.

Like Gu Niwei'er's lover.

To bring her to her senses.

He even suffocated himself to death.

Actually, Mei Changfeng was not wrong in his judgment.

If Ye Yu had truly been bent on seeking death.

She could have taken her own life.

The reason it didn't reach that point.

Was that Ye Yu didn't want to die.

It wasn't fear of death.

Rather...

She still wanted to continue contributing.

"I plead guilty, I admit to leaking military secrets, kill me, but these people have nothing to do with me, they were just my former trainees," Ye Yu said painfully.

Ye Yu's trainees?

No wonder they were so weak.

But since they were Ye Yu's trainees.

They'll need to be judged together.

Mei Changfeng swept his gaze over the others again.

And said, "I'm sorry, since they are with you, they naturally need to undergo my judgment as well."

"You'll pass judgment on me?" Su Chen finally spoke.

"Yes!"

Su Chen laughed.

To keep the secret, Ye Yu endured so much pain?

And now, this was the result.
