Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Scott waved again, and the thugs stepped forward again, torches in hand.

At this moment, the members of the institute stepped forward one after another, formed a wall with their flesh and blood, and protected Lin Zi behind them.

"I will never allow you to harm our achievements!"

"That's right, if we die, we die together!"

At this moment, Scott became anxious: "You, you are really not afraid of death?"

"This place not only gathers the hard work of our predecessors, but also embodies our hopes for future generations, so I will never allow you to trample on it wantonly!" said one of the researchers with a more mature face.

"That's right, if you want to get through, you have to step on our bodies!"

The researchers all showed resolute eyes, their dignity was sacred and inviolable.

At this moment, Scott was a little embarrassed.

"Damn it, I've run into a tough guy this time, but I can't take back what I said. What should I do..."

"stop!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Everyone turned around and saw Zixuan had already arrived with Kailin and Tianlang.

"Scott, I won't let you do anything stupid!" Karen shouted.

"Oh, it's you." He folded his arms and pretended to be proud again. "But you're too late. Don't think I'm afraid of you like I was yesterday. See the shields those people behind me are carrying? They're all prepared for you."

Hearing this, Kailin glanced behind Scott, then said in surprise: "Huh? You don't think you can stop me with these things?"

"Of course, these shields were specially made by my people who worked all night long. They are definitely strong enough to block your muskets." Scott said with his hands on his hips.

At this moment, Kailin did not become panicked because of Scott's words. On the contrary, she was extremely calm and stared at the other person with wide eyes.

She looked at Mo Yan and whispered, "Was this guy scared silly yesterday? Doesn't he know there are still armor-piercing bullets?"

"Maybe the muskets here are not sophisticated enough to this extent." Mo Yan replied with a shrug.

"Anyway, if you don't surrender, I'm really going to take action!"

"Then go ahead and burn it. Let's see who's faster, you or my bullet!"

After saying that, Karen snapped her fingers and the next second, the machine gun spiraled in the air. This scene scared not only Scott but even Lan Tianhui.

"Hehe, you didn't expect that, did you? I wonder how your shield can defend against so many gunshots!" Karen said with her hands on her hips, while making movements with her left hand, ready to press the "trigger" at any time.

"You, you have no moral principles!" Scott shrank back and continued to curse.

"What do you care about me!" said Karen.

Just as the atmosphere was about to drag on, at this moment, several people who were unexpected by Scott came out of the woods.

One of them wore glasses and a blue and white cloth; one had a rebellious look and was dressed in armor; one squinted slightly and held a flagpole in his hand, looking like a wandering fortune teller.

"Commander Lu Xi, Mr. Luo Hao, and Bai Lang, you are all here?" Mo Yan exclaimed.

"Yes, thanks to everyone's trust, we certainly dare not neglect it." Lu Xi said with a smile.

"Everyone, why don't you calm down and listen to our arrangements?" Luo Hao said with a smile.

Everyone nodded, but Scott didn't care and continued to speak impudently: "Who are you? Why should I listen to you!"

Luo Hao smiled slightly and replied slowly, "Hello, my name is Luo Hao, and I'm the military advisor of Linhui Border Town. Behind me is Commander Lu Xilu, the naval commander of Sangang Bay, and Major General Bai Langbai, who is stationed in the nearby mountainous area."

"Lin, Lin Huijun?" Scott subconsciously shrank back again when he heard this. Then he looked at Mo Yan and the others and said, "How could it be? Although I have long thought that you might be involved with the local organization, how could you possibly know someone of such high status, and even talk and laugh with him?"

"Why, is it not possible?" Karen said coldly, with her hands on her hips.

At this time, Luo Hao smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Scott still recognizes us."

"Of course, I know you all by your names," he said respectfully. "But I'm just wondering why you're here today?"

"Isn't it obvious? You put a trumped-up bill on Dr. Radiant, and then threatened to burn down the forest if we didn't pay back the money. We heard all this with our own ears!" Karen said.

"That..." Scott hesitated. "Yes, but it's true that your institute owes money to our Chen family, and I didn't burn the forest, did I?"

He glanced back, and then the thugs almost simultaneously threw the torches in their hands to the ground and stomped on them twice until the sparks were completely extinguished.

"You're clearly making excuses!" Karen said angrily, her hands on her hips.

Lu Xi smiled and shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if Mr. Scott doesn't admit it. Anyway, we didn't come here today for this matter."

"Then what are you here for?"

"We are here for Shu Qing's matter." Lu Xi said calmly.

Scott's face twitched when he heard this. Before he could even open his mouth, Lu Xi continued, "As a businessman, Mr. Scott should have heard about Shu Qing breaking the law and being executed, right?"

"Of course...but this has nothing to do with me, right?"

"Not only is it related, but we've also discovered quite a few new things." Lu Xi smiled slightly, then held up the account book with Scott's name in front of him and shook it, saying, "I wonder if Mr. Scott can admit this?"

"Where...where did you find it?" Scott suddenly asked in panic.

"Of course it's Shu Qing's mansion. According to his housekeeper, all of your dirty deeds are recorded here."

"Bullshit! What black account? How come I didn't know about it?" Scott explained anxiously, hands on his hips. "Besides, I'm a businessman. It's inevitable that I might have mishandled things in some places, so some flaws are normal. Don't just believe everything you hear!"

"Is that so? Then how are you going to explain all this?" Luo Hao took out several transaction records and contracts. "These are the records of the transactions Shu Qing arranged for you to make and the specific events. The rules and regulations are clearly written on them. Do you need me to read them to you?"

"This..." Scott was visibly stunned, then immediately feigned impatience and said, "That's enough. You keep saying this was a deal between that guy and me, but where's the evidence? Can a few signatures and a few lines of writing prove anything? I say this must be a fake account by that guy. He and I didn't get along to begin with, so he tried every possible way to frame me until his death!"
