Zhu Shijiu naturally did not come to beg for mercy. He suddenly thought of a solution that might be useful!
The head of the command center was far away, but she kept receiving reports confirming that Zhu Shijiu was about to be captured. She narrowed her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to answer Zhu Shijiu's call.
"Huff... Minister, do you really want to go this far?" Zhu Shijiu asked while panting.
Haha, you are here to beg for mercy.
The head of the command center had been fooled for the entire night and had seen through Zhu Shijiu's trick of framing her. She was in a bad mood now.
After hearing Zhu Shijiu's voice, she didn't mind chatting with him: "You didn't expect that I would discover your conspiracy so quickly."
I really didn't expect it.
Zhu Shijiu realized that he had underestimated the minister.
The head of the headquarters said calmly, "I did three things after I realized that everything was your plan. First, I personally directed my people to divert the patrol members around you. Without surveillance, they lost track of you. Second, I sent people to arrest you directly without giving you any time to act. Everything you planned was meaningless. The third thing..."
She didn't say the third thing, so Zhu Shijiu couldn't guess it for the time being.
At this time, he had to admire the head of the command center.
It's not that I admire her for how clever her calculations are - in fact, being fooled around by him the whole night can't be called clever - but I admire her for being able to decisively do something that has no benefit to her at all.

Since she said "I didn't give you any time to act", it meant that she knew he hadn't done anything yet and there was still no evidence of a crime. Therefore, even if he was caught, he couldn't be convicted, and it was even more impossible for the command to clear the suspicion of going against the Armed Defense Department tonight.
But she still chose to send someone to arrest him, which showed the determination of the head of the command. She would rather let the command take the blame than to stop him from taking the next step.
This was indeed beyond Zhu Shijiu's expectations.
Zhu Shijiu sighed and said, "It's meaningless even if you catch me. I know you are doubting me, but I can tell you directly that my suitcase is empty, just like during the day."
He didn't say much because he was worried that the head of the command was recording, and just hinted slightly, "You can't convict me at all!"
The head of the command center said, "Really? Do you really think I have no solution?"
Zhu Shijiu's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
After a moment's thought, he understood the third thing the commander-in-chief had done secretly—she had prepared evidence of his guilt!
The suitcase in his hand was empty, but that didn't mean the head of command wouldn't put something in it after catching him!
He spent an entire night making the head of the headquarters mistakenly believe that Thorn and his men had joined forces with the Armed Defense Department to frame the headquarters, forcing the headquarters to steal a box of barbells and hide in a surveillance blind spot, making the headquarters bear the blame.

But now the head of the command center has realized that the Armed Defense Department is innocent, and the real problems from beginning to end are him and Thorn!
After figuring this out, the head of the command center prepared to put evidence of Zhu Shijiu's crime in his suitcase after catching him!
Her purpose is not to clear suspicion!
This is not a complicated operation, and he could also argue that this was evidence fabricated for him by the command center. In the absence of surveillance, it is hard to judge who is right and who is wrong, but the key is that this operation can drag him into the water even though he had stayed out of the matter from the beginning to the end!
At that time, he, Jingzhi, Su Chan, and the command center will all be suspected and the organization will investigate.
Is the command center afraid of investigation
The Command Headquarters Chief knew that she was innocent, so she was not afraid at all. She just wanted to use the opportunity tonight to make things bigger, so that he would be suspected and the organization would use him as a breakthrough point to investigate the rebel faction behind him! She believed that if the organization really looked at him with suspicion, then they would definitely be able to find out the existence of the rebel faction and distinguish right from wrong.
She thought that this was Zhu Shijiu's weakness, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
The rebel faction does not exist at all, so Zhu Shijiu is not afraid of being investigated.
Zhu Shijiu was worried that if he was really targeted by the organization, even if he was not convicted for the time being, he would still be controlled and restricted!

The reason why he went to so much trouble tonight was because he wanted to create a situation where neither he, Jing Zhi nor Su Chan were suspected of anything. Although they came out late at night to buy supplies, it was the command center and the armed defense department who "misunderstood" them without authorization, and it had nothing to do with them.
Throughout the entire process, the most important thing is that no real "evidence" will appear! This is the premise for the whole thing to be settled peacefully! In the end, the organization is likely to take it lightly.
But if the head of the command center fabricates real "evidence", then the organization will have to investigate it thoroughly!
The purpose of the head of the command center is naturally not to clear suspicion and settle the matter peacefully.
"Minister, are you trying to give me false evidence?" Zhu Shijiu simply pointed this out and pressed the recording button at the same time.
The Command Headquarters Chief was naturally not stupid enough to reveal her purpose during the call. She continued to be ambiguous and riddle: "… Just as you think I misunderstood you, you also misunderstood me. If you still want to talk nonsense to me, it is simply a waste of energy."
Zhu Shijiu calmed down this time. The purpose of his call was not to beg for mercy, nor to test the purpose of the head of the command center.
He said directly: "Minister, if you plot against me, then in the end, the only person you will be plotting against is me."
The head of the command center said calmly, "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I just want to say that the rebel faction has its own big shots. You don't doubt them, but you doubt me. It's really wrong." Zhu Shijiu naturally would not admit his identity as a rebel on the phone, and continued to hint in riddles.
He knew that the commander-in-chief could think of Xu Feng.
Zhu Shijiu said: "On the one hand, you want to find out the rebel faction, but on the other hand, you are unwilling to play the long game and instead focus on some small soldiers and generals. Do you think you can figure out the big figures of the rebel faction?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the command immediately began to weigh the pros and cons.
Yes, if we act now, at most we can only make Zhu Shijiu fall into the quagmire, but if we play the long game... No, if we really think so, we might really fall into his trap!
"You want to trick me?"
"This is not a lie..."
This is an open conspiracy!
If the head of the command center wants to find out what they are going to do tonight and what Xu Feng’s plan is, then he must not be caught here. Instead, he must try his best to cooperate with him!
Zhu Shijiu was telling her clearly that he was about to do something. If you want to catch a bigger fish, you have to wait, otherwise catching him now would just be a small matter.
This is also the purpose of Zhu Shijiu's direct call to the head of the command center!
He had been using Xu Feng as bait from the very beginning, and the reason why the head of the command had been targeting him from the beginning was not anything else but Xu Feng.
As long as the head of the command center firmly believes that all this was done by Xu Feng and wants to find something to hold against him, there will be a loophole.
This was not the first time he had used this trick. The last person who was fooled was Thorn.
After being conquered by him with force, Thorn pretended to join him, but in fact he wanted to play the long game to collect evidence and report to the organization after gaining more intelligence. In the end... he became his man.
Zhu Shijiu didn't think it would be easy to turn a minister against his will, but... human nature is universal in many cases.
After a long time, Zhu Shijiu stopped running.
Because the black soldiers had caught up with him and surrounded him.
He stood there calmly, "How are you thinking about it?"
If you refuse, I will rewind the game. Don't waste my time, Zhu Shijiu thought.
Soon, the head of the command center took a deep breath and said, "Can long lines really catch big fish?"

Zhu Shijiu smiled and said meaningfully: "That depends on the skill of the fisherman, doesn't it?"
