Galeno broke away from Fade and stood up with his weak body. He glanced at the camp and shouted, "Who told you to shoot? Furthermore, we have already identified ourselves."
The crowd was silent.
"You dare to act but don't want to admit it? Who is it? Come out!" He shouted again.
The commander suddenly stood up with a serious expression on his face. "I gave the order."
"Who are you?" Galeno glared at him and shouted angrily.
The commander replied, "Master Zhu, I'm Caldwell Zhu, the captain of Team 6 of the City Guards."
"Caldwell, who ordered you to shoot us?" Galeno asked.
Caldwell answered with a straight face, "Master Zhu, we are carrying out an exercise mission, and the superiors gave us the orders. Once there is an opportunity, we should attack and exterminate the enemy with all our strength."
"Exterminate the enemy? Is Fade your enemy?" Galeno bellowed angrily.
Caldwell responded, "Master Zhu, we were unable to identify you at that time."
"What about just now? We already revealed our identities. Why did you attack us?" Galeno glared at him.
Caldwell gritted teeth and said, "The situation was critical at that time, therefore we could not tell whether the information was true or false. We could only plan for the worst."
"You..." Galeno was so angry that he wanted to beat someone.
However, Fade stopped him and stepped out to look at Caldwell.
In an instant, Caldwell felt an inexplicable pressure on him, like a mountain which stood in front of him.
"Who is your superior?" Fade asked.
When faced with Fade, Caldwell unconsciously replied, "It's General Hogan Loh."
"Did he order you to attack me?" Fade asked again.
Caldwell's eyes flickered slightly as he nodded. "Yes."
"You're lying!" Fade shouted. He said coldly, "When you ordered the attack, I had killed Hogan. How was he supposed to order you?"
"T-That's impossible. It was Mr. Loh who gave the order." Caldwell looked surprised and anxious.
Galeno was furious and glared at him. "You're still lying."
"I'm not. It really was Mr. Loh's order," Caldwell insisted.
Galeno frowned. He was almost unable to restrain himself from attacking Caldwell.
Fade, however, narrowed his eyes as if he had thought of something. He looked at Caldwell and asked, "When did you last receive Mr.
Loh's order?"
Caldwell replied without hesitation, "Five minutes ago. Mr. Loh suddenly called and asked us to launch an attack and kill all the enemies."
Fade stared at him for a while. Then, he pulled Galeno back and said, "He's not lying!"
"That's impossible. Hogan was already dead then." Galeno could not believe it.
"Hogan is dead, but he could have made a phone call," Fade said.
"You mean someone faked Hogan's voice to give the order to attack?" Galeno asked.
However, he immediately shook his head violently and denied his own speculations.
"That's impossible. It might not be hard to fake Hogan's voice, but this exercise is managed by the military's encrypted channel, and the person's number is that of a senior member from the Military Department. It's impossible to forge that."
Hearing this, Fade's eyes flickered.
Without asking any further questions, he looked at Caldwell and instructed in a deep voice, "Go back to the Military Department for an investigation!"
"Yes, sir!" Caldwell did not dare to resist.
