He immediately contacted Lin Ruiyang. In a calm voice, he reminded him that he had previously mentioned Ning Mu defeating everyone on the rooftop.
However, Lin Ruiyang immediately shook his head. "That's impossible. I clearly remember it being a mysterious person, not Ning Mu."
Hong Xu was not satisfied. He directly ordered his men to search the entire starship and inspect the surveillance footage.
To their surprise, the footage perfectly matched Lin Ruiyang's report. A mysterious figure had indeed attacked them.
Although the person's build was somewhat similar to Ning Mu's, there was no evidence proving it was him.
Yet Hong Xu still felt that something was wrong. At first, he suspected that Lin Ruiyang was hiding the truth.
He even ordered a thorough investigation and had Lin Ruiyang tortured. Lin Ruiyang was thrown into a dark cell and beaten mercilessly.
Even then, he refused to change his statement. He repeatedly insisted that they had been attacked by a mysterious person.
