Chapter 169: It's not admitting fault, it's knowing fear! (Please keep reading)

Lu Zheng had caused quite a commotion.

By the time Chu Xiaoxiao returned with her parents, Liu Nianjiao, the head of the Rose Society, had rushed over after hearing the news.

She was accompanied by a middle-aged man, and a squad of soldiers followed behind him.

Liu Nianjiao was a young woman in her early thirties, with a charming face and a pair of foxy eyes, making her very alluring.

Upon arriving, she saw the intestines spilling out from the shattered corpses on the ground, and remembering what she had just put in her mouth, she couldn't help but turn her head and gag.

Then, she looked furiously at Lu Zheng, who was standing beside Chu Xiaoxiao.

"You killed so many people from our Rose Society?!"

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, then asked:

"Who are you?"

Chu Xiaoxiao quickly said:

"She is Liu Nianjiao, the head of the Rose Society. The middle-aged man next to her is Qianfuzhang Wang Dong."

Liu Nianjiao glared at Chu Xiaoxiao and shouted angrily.

"You traitorous bitch, you actually brought a man to harm our sisters! I regret taking you in for so long!"

"You and he both deserve to die."

Saying that, she turned to look at Wang Dong.

When she looked at Wang Dong, she had already changed her expression.

She spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Brother Wang! You saw it, he has already admitted it. He actually went on a killing spree within our base. Such an evil person must be brought to justice and torn into a thousand pieces!"

"And that little bitch, make her wish she were dead too."

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon the luxurious RV, and her eyes immediately lit up.

She hastily added:

"Brother Wang, make sure he provides more than a dozen of these RVs to compensate for our losses."

"At that time, we are willing to donate half of the vehicles to you as dormitories."

As Liu Nianjiao spoke, she moved closer and closer to Wang Dong, eventually hanging entirely on his body.

Wang Dong, completely disregarding the gazes of others, directly reached into Liu Nianjiao's clothes and fumbled around.

The anger that had just been extinguished by Liu Nianjiao began to burn again.

This woman was really something; much more passionate than his old shrew of a wife.

She made him feel very comfortable.

He wanted to enjoy himself, so he was naturally very impatient with handling Lu Zheng's matter and waved his hand casually:

"Arrest him. If he resists, shoot him on sight."

Hearing this, Liu Nianjiao immediately showed a triumphant expression, looking smugly at Lu Zheng, then fiercely at Chu Xiaoxiao.

She seemed to utterly detest this 'traitor'.

Chu Xiaoxiao also showed a nervous expression.

Although she knew Lu Zheng's Sword Control Technique was very powerful, perhaps even more effective than firearms.

Facing so many guns, she didn't believe Lu Zheng could perfectly dodge all the bullets.

Lu Zheng indeed did not resist; he just stood there smiling.

Just as the soldiers were about to approach him, suddenly, more soldiers rushed out of the black mist.

They surrounded a person, who was none other than Qian Xu, the Chief of Fengzhou Base.

Seeing the Chief arrive, Wang Dong quickly pulled his hand out of Liu Nianjiao's clothes, then nervously moved away a bit, stepping forward to ask:

"Chief, why have you come? I can handle things here. Give me five minutes, and I'll make sure that villain confesses all his crimes clearly, without causing any greater unrest."

Qian Xu, however, ignored him and walked directly towards Lu Zheng, his face full of smiles.

"Mr. Lu, if you had informed us of your arrival, I would have brought people to welcome you."

"I am very sorry that these people offended you. Please let me know if you need anything at all."

Seeing that the Base Chief was actually so subservient to Lu Zheng, everyone showed astonished expressions.

Especially Wang Dong, a piece of information suddenly exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.

Mr. Lu, is that Mr. Lu who single-handedly created the Aerial Safe Zone, who is revered like an ancestor by all the major bases, and for whom even a beauty pageant was held!?

He actually provoked such a person.

And even said he wanted to shoot him dead!

If it really was that Mr. Lu, it meant that the other party only needed to lift a finger to make him vanish into thin air.

He wouldn't even need to lift a finger.

He immediately knelt on the ground and slapped himself hard.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Please just let me go like a fart. I will definitely be a good person from now on."

Not many people in more remote bases like Fengzhou Base knew about Lu Zheng's existence.

It was naturally impossible for someone of Liu Nianjiao's caliber to know either.

But seeing that even the Base Chief was fawning over Lu Zheng, and Wang Dong had directly knelt down to beg for mercy, she also understood that Lu Zheng's identity was far from simple.

Her mind wasn't stupid.

She immediately realized that she might very well be pushed out as the sole scapegoat.

At this point, she was also scared out of her wits, and she knelt beside Wang Dong, crying:

"I know I was wrong too."

"All the RVs are yours. I don't want anything. I don't want any of Xiaoxiao's room and board fees here either. Please take her and her family away!"

Even now, she was still cleverly emphasizing that she had provided Chu Xiaoxiao's family with food and lodging.

Lu Zheng was too lazy to listen to their chatter.

They weren't admitting their mistakes; they were simply scared.

Since Qian Xu had arrived, it meant things could end.

He casually waved his hand, and two bolts of lightning struck down, instantly turning Wang Dong and Liu Nianjiao into charcoal.

This scene was even more shocking than the sight of more than a dozen people being dismembered earlier.

Those two thick bolts of lightning illuminated large areas of the black mist, almost blinding them.

It was truly too shocking.

Lu Zheng said indifferently to Qian Xu:

"Alright, you can slowly investigate the remaining people who need to be dealt with!"

"It doesn't matter how chaotic things are below, no one will manage it."

"But if such incidents still occur after the Safe Zone is established, I'm afraid Old Wang and the others won't allow you to continue managing this place."

Qian Xu immediately assured him:

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lu."

"I will definitely complete a thorough investigation of the entire team as soon as possible."

"If you can build an Aerial Safe Zone for our base, I will make sure everyone in the base thanks you!"

Lu Zheng nodded and said:

"Since the people were taken from here, I will take some time today to build a Safe Zone here."

"You should organize and arrange personnel as soon as possible."

Qian Xu showed great joy and said excitedly:

"Good, good. I'll go arrange it right away. I won't bother you anymore."

Watching Qian Xu leave in a hurry with his people, and taking all the Rose Society members for interrogation, Chu Xiaoxiao and Yu Hongmei and the others were filled with shock.

Chu Xiaoxiao, somewhat flustered, brushed her hair back and asked with a smile:

"Old classmate, do I still have the right to call you that in the future?"

"Your current status is so high, even the Chief has to be so polite to you. It's truly unimaginable."

Lu Zheng put his arm around her waist, not shying away from her parents watching, and gently kissed her on the chin.

"From now on, don't call me old classmate; call me husband."

Chu Xiaoxiao's face instantly flushed crimson from being kissed in front of her parents, but she still felt quite sweet.

She suppressed her shyness and softly called out:

"Husband."

The next moment, she found herself being carried into the air.

Looking back, her parents and Yu Hongmei were nowhere to be seen.
