55: Go home for dinner
Soon, a large number of police officers arrived. Seeing the scene in the courtyard, with over sixty people lying haphazardly on the ground, they all gasped.
In particular, there was a huge black pit, with two black Spirit Master Seven-Star individuals still lying inside.
Director Lu Ming's expression immediately turned solemn.
He was over fifty years old, appearing upright and incorruptible, his figure still straight. A scar on the upper right of his forehead was from a gunshot wound he sustained in his early years, almost costing him his life in the Yellow Springs.
Lu Ming waved his hand, and nearly a hundred police officers sealed off the entire compound, guarding every member of the Faguang Cult.
Lu Ming led his people quickly to the victims. Looking at the group of ragged, scarred, and utterly miserable people, his eyes turned red, and he slapped himself hard.
The Deputy Director next to him jumped in surprise.
"Director, you..."
Two lines of clear tears streamed from Lu Ming's tiger-like eyes.
"I am an incompetent Director! In my jurisdiction, so many common people were imprisoned and suffered. If not for a righteous person stepping in, I probably wouldn't even know about this situation!"
"I am guilty!"
The Deputy Director sighed deeply and patted the Director's shoulder.
"Director, this Faguang Cult is hypocritical and deeply hidden; you can't be blamed..."
Lu Ming waved his hand, stopping the Deputy Director's comfort, and reached out to grasp the hands of two victims, looking at these people.
His voice was mournful, "I'm sorry, I came late! You all have suffered!"
These people immediately burst into heartbroken wails, crying on the ground like little children.
There was even a woman holding a swaddled infant, though the child was long gone. The woman just held it tightly, as if guarding the last thing in her life.
Lu Ming's heart was torn. His gaze swept around.
"Who called the police? Who were the people who eradicated the Faguang Cult?"
The crowd immediately looked in the direction Wei Xuan had disappeared, tears welling in their eyes.
"The two benefactors didn't leave their names!"
"They are truly heroic men and women!"
"They rescued us from the secret room."
"They left before you arrived!"
"Both of them were very young and very good-looking."
Lu Ming looked at the people chattering and adding details, and curiosity arose in his heart.
Who exactly did it?
Lu Ming also understood that the other party had eradicated the Faguang Cult, presumably because they were worried about the forces behind the Faguang Cult.
Thinking of this, a sense of frustration rose in Lu Ming's heart.
If he hadn't received the alarm call, he would still be in the dark.
"Director, Zhu Lin, the leader of the Faguang Cult, is here!"
Lu Ming was startled and personally led his people down the secret passage.
The further he went, the more alarmed and indignant Lu Ming became.
He could hardly imagine how many heinous deeds the Faguang Cult had committed over the years to have built so many prisons.
Arriving at the platform, Zhu Lin's body was curled up, a knife to his throat, his face still showing traces of pain, struggle, and unwillingness.
The platform's surroundings were already riddled with pits and utterly dilapidated.
Everyone gasped.
Lu Ming's expression was shocked!
"This, this Zhu Lin was actually Grandmaster Level!"
"Then who killed him?"
"Looking at his painful expression, he must have suffered unbearable torment before he died!"
"Those two experts must be at least Grandmaster Level!"
Lu Ming waved his hand.
"Seal this place off!"
"First, make proper arrangements for the people!"
"Yes!"
...Wei Xuan and Chu Changge watched from afar, seeing the overjoyed people get into the police cars, and immediately let out a long sigh.
"Let's go! I'm really going to miss my dinner!"
Chu Changge giggled.
"This time, it's really thanks to you. Otherwise, these people don't know what they would have encountered!"
Wei Xuan clasped his hands behind his head, resting his head on his arms, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky.
"I'm not doing this out of chivalry; I just accepted your request!"
Chu Changge covered her mouth and chuckled, not exposing Wei Xuan. The two of them walked like that under the night sky.
Chu Changge gazed up at the starry sky, puffed out her chest, and exuded heroic spirit!
She clenched her fists.
She felt incredibly proud!
The feeling of acting chivalrously was so cool!
I finally have something to brag about to Dad!
This Wei Xuan is really good.
Better than anyone I've ever met.
Chu Changge looked at Wei Xuan, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.
At this moment, Wei Xuan tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Why are you still following me?"
He frowned impatiently.
"You're not planning to freeload dinner at my place, are you?"
Chu Changge's face immediately flushed red!
Red like a monkey's bottom.
I misjudged him!
He's a jerk too!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Who cares about freeloading dinner at your place!"
"I'm just passing by! Yes! Passing by!!!"
Wei Xuan picked at his ear, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"Grrrruuuu..." A loud sound came from Chu Changge's stomach.
Chu Changge's face turned completely red. She stood rooted to the spot, embarrassed and wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Why did it have to rumble at this moment!
This is too embarrassing!
Oh my goodness!
Wei Xuan chuckled, "Let's go, I'll put you up for the night."
Chu Changge's face was still shockingly red, but she didn't dare to say anything defiant. She could only stifle her frustration and follow Wei Xuan.
After walking for a while, Wei Xuan took out his navigation device.
Chu Changge was dumbfounded.
"You, you don't know the way home?"
Wei Xuan smiled bitterly, "I was supposed to go to my new home today, who knew I'd get stuck with you!"
Chu Changge smiled apologetically.
Finally,
the two arrived at Wei Xuan's new home.
Wei Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, Ah Hu found a good house."
Chu Changge's eyes widened, and she stammered, "You, you live in such a big house?"
Before them stood a three-story villa covering five hundred square meters, elegantly decorated with meticulously trimmed flowers and plants. Two men in suits stood at the entrance.
As soon as the two Sabertooth Tiger members saw Wei Xuan, they immediately came forward to greet him.
"Boss, you're finally back!"
"Dinner is ready!"
The two looked at Chu Changge, their admiration for Wei Xuan growing even deeper. The boss is indeed the boss, always surrounded by such high-quality beauties!
Wei Xuan nodded helplessly.
Chu Changge next to him had her mouth wide open, unable to speak as she looked at Wei Xuan and the two Sabertooth Tiger members.
Wei Xuan smiled playfully, "What's wrong!"
Chu Changge said incredulously, "You, you're their boss! Who exactly are you!"
"You're not some underground force, are you!"
Wei Xuan rubbed his chin.
"Not yet, but I will be soon!"
"Let's go! Dinner!"
Wei Xuan, flanked by the two Sabertooth Tiger members, walked towards the villa.
Chu Changge was completely stunned!
I actually found an underground force boss to practice chivalry with?
This guy is so young, yet he's already a boss!
Oh my goodness! How old is he!
Could he be an evil force that abducts young girls!
No wonder he brought me here.
Turns out I've fallen into a wolf's den!
Should I, should I run now?
But I'm really hungry!
Wei Xuan turned around and asked in surprise, "Hey! Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and come in!"
Chu Changge startled, "Oh! Coming, coming!"
