After clearing out the residual rebel forces on the Asirens, the air fleet promptly turned and headed back to the outskirts of Yazhi City. During this time, Reimer interrogated the mutinous crew members and ultimately confirmed the fact of Mu Lansi's defection.
According to their testimonies, Mu Lansi planned to hijack the Asirens and move it to the nation of the Zhuyan People, Baales, under the pretext of being kidnapped by the Zhuyan People himself. For the Zhuyan People, the Asirens would be an exceptional gift, so they would be quite inclined to take the blame as well.
Reimer had difficulty accepting the interrogation results because no matter how much Mu Lansi had done for the country, the act of betraying the country by handing the Asirens to the Zhuyan People was utterly disgraceful. Reimer had repeatedly claimed in front of Cheng Ziang that Mu Lansi was merely abandoned; however, the results of the interrogation strongly contradicted his stance.
