Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

A steam locomotive drove out of the city and returned to South Folia along the same route.

Cathy, who had returned to normal, slept in the back seat of the car. Even in her sleep, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

The Ice Knight in the passenger seat kept looking back, looking at the pitiful little girl.

She had already learned the general cause and effect from Ye He and knew what Cathy's fate was.

This fate...as an outsider, she really couldn't evaluate it.

Objectively speaking, Cathy can become almost unlimitedly stronger without having to experience danger and challenges personally, and can even reach heights that even righteous gods cannot reach.

But in this process, the grief that Cathy had to experience was really too much for a young girl like her who was still innocent and full of fantasy.

The Ice Knight felt that he could not be as strong as Cathy just by thinking about it.

If I had known this, Cathy would have experienced the terrible and tragic experience of her idol falling in front of her half a year ago, and now the same thing happened again.

But even so, Cathy's "loss period" was very short, and she soon recovered to the energetic appearance that everyone remembered.

"She goes through it, she accepts it, she takes it on, and she keeps moving forward...very admirable, right?"

Ye He saw through the Ice Knight's thoughts and summarized them for her.

"Ah."

The Ice Knight nodded, his eyes finally leaving the sleeping Cathy and looking forward again.

But after a few seconds, she asked Ye He curiously:

"If it were you, could you do what she did?"

"I?"

Ye He burst into laughter. He hesitated for only a second before turning his head and grinning at the Ice Knight:

“First of all, I’m not going to go through her situation, and secondly, no one can put me through her situation.

The last person who tried to threaten me with the lives of my accomplices was blown to pieces by me, along with the building itself."

"An accomplice?"

"You are wrong, companion."

The Ice Knight was very sure that Ye He was right and that she had heard it correctly, but compared to this detail... she was more concerned about the fate of Ye He's "accomplices":

"So, you rescued your...companion?"

"No, I couldn't save her, so I let her die with those guys."

Ye He stated the result very calmly, causing the Ice Knight's eyes to widen.

"Don't look at me like that! It's true that I gave her the explosives and the remote control, but it was still she who pressed the button and died together with her. I did a great thing!"

"What?!!"

The Ice Knight was even more confused.

"When you are caught by a group of men who are like wolves and tigers and do all kinds of evil without any moral concepts, and you are tortured for ten days in a row, you will also thank me for giving you the button."

Ye He grinned at the Ice Knight again and ended the topic.

"Okay... I guess I can understand."

The Ice Knight did not dare to investigate further. Even though Ye He did not show any sadness or grief, and even had some joy in her eyes, she was still very clear about one thing:

Even if she was an "accomplice"...that "she" should have been someone Ye He cherished, right?
Hand the button to her... Ye He must have felt bad when he made this decision.

Ye He didn't need to explain too much, the Ice Knight himself made up a series of love, hate and vengeance in Ye He's mind.

Even though he has been with Ye He for quite some time, the Ice Knight still does not think that Ye He is a pure "evil guy" who has no blood or tears and is evil to the core.

Ye He also wanted a leisurely life. In fact, he also understood that once the Ice Knight fully understood his true nature, he would definitely leave him.

Such a useful thug, such a fun woman...Ye He is not tired of it yet.

……

While Ye He was still on his way back, the entire federation's public opinion circle had already exploded!
A "small town fire" alone is definitely not enough to trigger news and public outrage, so...

"Senate Senator Walter killed people to silence them! He massacred the whole town in one night! A dozen children cried and asked: Where are my parents?"

This headline, which was personally processed by Ye He, has already appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in the Federation, and the federal public opinion circle has exploded because of it.

The children, Victor, and even two assassins who had previously attempted to attack the town and kill people in advance testified publicly.

So many "witness" testimonies and "facts" were listed together in this front-page report, and the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes was clearly pointed to Walter...

What’s even more interesting is that in order to completely bring Walter down, the two killers also revealed more “dirty information” about Walter.

Such breaking news naturally immediately caused a huge public outcry. At noon that day, the Senate issued an emergency notice, officially suspending Walter!
Although the federal high-level circles adhered to the principle of "covering up family scandals", the wording of the investigation statement on Walter's suspension still left Walter a lot of wiggle room.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that this time, Walter was absolutely hopeless.

The terrible public resentment even impacted the entire federal upper echelons. Not only the Senate where Walter was located, but also some spontaneous protesters appeared at the gates of the Presidential Palace and the Supreme Court.

Their demands are simple: investigate Walter's actions in detail, proofread everything the congressman did for personal gain and abuse of power, and make blood debt pay with blood!
Before the Federation responded to the outbreak of public opinion, after Ye He's deliberate guidance, the public had completely branded the name Walter with identity labels such as "criminal" and "the real culprit behind the scenes."

This is the effect Ye He wanted. Just as he promised Connor, he wanted to make Walter lose his reputation, destroy his family, and turn him into a complete loser.

Even to this day, Ye He has never met Walter and doesn't know what he looks like. He even received a peace signal from Walter through Shadow Owl a few hours ago.

But... Walter reacted too late!

"It's over, alas." Shadow Owl put down the newspaper and sighed deeply.

After reading the report, she knew that Walter was completely finished, but fortunately she was already on a train heading directly to the federal capital.

As Ye He said, there is still time. Now that she returns to Walter, she should be able to receive Walter’s last “message fee”.

Whenever she thought of the name Ye He, Ying Xiao would think of the kick that kept her awake all night.

He actually kicked himself out of the car? !
You know, after getting on the car, Shadow Owl saw that there was no one else in the car, so he removed his shadow disguise.

She thought that with her beauty as the "number one" socialite in the federal capital, she might be able to make the man treat her better.

But it was not until she sat down on the muddy ground, with her skirt and even her underwear soaked by dust and mud, that Ye He glanced at her straight in the eye.

What made Ying Xiao so angry that he couldn't sleep was not actually Ye He's kick. They each served their own master, and it would not be too much for Ye He to take his life.

It wasn't a check that was snatched away by Ye He. As the "number one" socialite who could appear in front of the President many times, Ying Xiao was not short of money.

But it was Ye He’s eyes at that time!

It was a calm and indifferent look... one that didn't even notice Shadow Owl's beauty, let alone take it to heart.

Thinking of this, Yingxiao realized that his hands holding the coffee cup were trembling slightly.

I looked at the coffee swirl in the cup, then looked across the cup and at the newspaper on the table again...

Shadow Owl, still frightened, swallowed hard. She had made up her mind!

If I can't become Ye He's lover, after this incident, I will never appear in the same city with Ye He again!
She was really scared. She was afraid of Ye He's intelligence and her ability to kill her with one blow.

You can't beat them, and you can't afford to provoke them. If you can't turn your enemy into a friend, you can only stay away from them.

……

Unlike Shadow Owl, who was particularly clear about his position and situation, Graves, who was also reading a newspaper at the dining table, had an extremely stiff expression and his whole body was trembling slightly.

How dare they... How could he... What should I do?
The protesting people gathered at the door of the Supreme Court, and only then did the First Chief Justice Graves "belatedly" learn what had happened through the newspapers in South Folia, the city where the incident occurred.

Obviously... I just met Ye He yesterday evening, and confirmed to this man my fence-sitting attitude of not helping either side.

As a result, one side of the "wall" was directly pushed down by the angry people, and he fell at Ye He's feet in an extremely embarrassed posture!

If Yehe at this time... let these newspapers say "The First Chief Justice seems to be in South Folia, why doesn't he do anything?"...

Graves knew that he would be buried in the mud by the people's resentment and would hardly be able to get up!
"Father? Good morning... Oh, it's almost noon now, good afternoon!"

Gracia came in from outside.

She didn't wait for Ye He's return, but thanks to Hera, she learned in advance that today's public opinion would definitely explode, so she came back first to meet Graves.

"Gracia... have you read the newspaper?"

What Graves wanted to ask most was what did Gracia do during her whole night at Yehe's place?
Why didn't she come back in advance to inform me when such a big thing happened?

“Ye He fucked me all night and I couldn’t get up.

Oh, by the way, don't worry. Although I haven't read the newspaper, I took the time to send a telegram to the court last night. My brother and sister will know what to do.

Also, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Yehe will not focus his attention on the entire federal upper echelons, and the House of Representatives and our Supreme Court will not be dragged into it by him.

But we should also make some contribution, otherwise he will definitely be unhappy."

Without even looking at her father's expression, Gracia guessed what he wanted to ask her and what good news he wanted to hear.

She handed over all the tasks she had assigned in one breath, which made Graves feel a little relieved and finally stopped shaking with anger.

"What did you telegraph? I'm not there but in South Folia, which is really bad for us."

Graves did not dwell on why his daughter fell in love with Ye He, but was more concerned about the overall honor and disgrace.

The position of First Chief Justice is a lifelong position, and with the efforts of the Ashley family, this position has almost become a family inheritance.

The matching power and influence, namely the Federal Supreme Court, has long been deeply tied to the Ashley family, and they almost prosper and suffer together.

If only Graves himself was challenged and questioned, it wouldn't be a big problem, as Graves could always use his "hard work" to excuse himself.

But it would not be good if the fire spread throughout the Supreme Court.

"do not worry……"

Gracia stole a piece of bacon from her father's plate and put it into her mouth. After happily eating it, she explained to her father in detail:
"Ye He did not hide the news of 'murder to silence witnesses' from us, so when he rushed to rescue people, I had already sent a telegram to my brother and sister using our family's emergency contact method.

I told them in advance the problems we might encounter and the best solutions. Maybe they are implementing them now!"

As Gracia said, unlike the troubled Presidential Palace, Graves' eldest son, Gracia's eldest brother, showed up just as the people gathered at the door of the Supreme Court.

In the name of the Supreme Court spokesman, he reported Graves's itinerary to the public and reiterated:
“The First Chief Justice came to Nanfolia in person for this case, but the vicious criminals not only attacked the innocent town, but also sent assassins to kill the Lord!
Fortunately, our respected lord did not suffer any serious injuries. His physical condition has stabilized, and he has decided to continue investigating the case despite his injuries. He must seek justice for his own attack and the innocent people who were killed!"

This "pitying" and "sincere" speech immediately eased the emotions of the people outside the Supreme Court.

Many people even felt a little guilty because when they learned the news through the newspapers, not only did the First Chief Justice come to the scene in person, but even his own personal safety was challenged.

Even so, this gentleman lived up to the title of "First Chief Justice" and continued to stay in South Folia to handle the case despite his injuries.

What a great sentiment this is and how respectable it is!
Gracia's early warning saved the Supreme Court from danger and also quietly boosted her side's popularity among the people.

But other places, especially the Presidential Palace, are not so easy to get through.

With only ten minutes left until noon, Federal President Gustav finally appeared at the door of his home and announced to the angry people:
"From now on, Senate Grand Senator Walter will be suspended from his post and will be subject to review by the Supreme Court's special investigation team. Please rest assured that the Supreme Court and I will give you an explanation!"
