“Yes.” Jonathan finally opened his mouth.
He looked haggard, as though he had suddenly aged rapidly within one night. With utter weariness in his bloodshot eyes, he gave a wave.
Soon after, someone from the military base brought in a surveillance tape.
As silence ensued in the whole congress hall, everyone held their breath and fixed their eyes on the huge LED screen. After a while, a scene from the surveillance footage came into view.
They saw a black figure sneak into the military base in the darkness. Soon, they were startled and gasped unbelievably at the most baffling moment.
Crack! Miraculously, the door to the confidential district opened right after the black figure keyed in the passcodes and had their fingerprint scanned.
“My goodness! Am I seeing things? Did they just unlock the combination lock?” someone yelled out in disbelief.
What the hell is happening? How did that person manage to open the door of the confidential district in the military base? Only those of the higher ranks from the military base have the right to access this door, don’t they?
All of them gaped at the LED screen. No doubt, the restrictions in the military base were nothing new to them.
There was finally a slight change in Sebastian’s countenance. He arched his brows and sneered inwardly. My, my, I can’t believe that old man actually dared to play that surveillance footage in front of everyone!
“Old Mr. Jadeson, what does this mean? Do you mean to say that someone actually sneaked into the military base and set your grandson up?” one of the congressmen asked warily.
“That’s right!” Without hesitation, Jonathan gritted his teeth and nodded.
His words resulted in another wave of turbulence in the congress hall. Everyone freaked out completely and started to lambast in exasperation. All this while, the military base played an important role in defending the nation and ensuring the safety of all the citizens. Therefore, they could not accept the fact that such a highly confidential district in the military base could be intruded on by anyone effortlessly.
“Who is that person? Did you manage to trace their identity? By hook or by crook, we must drag them out and finish them off at once!” one of the congressmen snarled.
Another congressman fumed, “Yeah, how could anyone provoke our military department with such insolence? What are we in their eyes, huh? Pfft! They surely had the audacity to intrude our highly confidential district in such a carefree way!”
“D*mn it! What nonsense!” the congressman next to him echoed.
