In the office building, Zhuang Qingzai told everything he knew.
During the past two days at the Jiangcheng Base, he was basically just touring the base guided by some officials, and he was treated very politely.
On the one hand, it was because he came with the caravan, and on the other hand, it was also because of his background. As the young master of the Haicheng base dealer, the people at the Jiangcheng Base here naturally had to be careful about entertaining him. Lu Ye was the only one who did not give him any face.
Speaking of which, he was quite sad about it.
Lu Ye said coldly: “Let’s get to the point.”
“Oh.” Zhuang Qingzai quickly returned to the topic, “So you know there are a few people who came with me right? I was taken around to look at various parts of the base, and they came along. They went to more places than me, and one of them heard something .”
Someone who seemed to be a bit sloppy then got called in. When he was facing Lu Ye, he couldn’t help adjusting his neck and shoulders posture and tried to look very obedient. He said that just yesterday, in an alley behind a bar, he heard someone threaten another person, saying that tomorrow is the deadline, telling him not to take money but do nothing.
The person who got threatened said that this was a terrible thing and asked the other party to pay more, while also requesting them to arrange for him to sleep with the most famous girl in the bar that night.
The so-called bars are naturally different from the bars before the apocalypse. Drinks are very expensive in the apocalypse, so how could it be possible for a random bar to serve alcohol casually?
What this bar actually sells are all kinds of low-quality drinks, as low as just plain water mixed with some food coloring and undeadly industrial alcohol; it’s nothing more than just to satisfy the craving.
In addition, shows like singing and dancing are still available, along with those kinds of services.
The person who got threatened asked for the most beautiful girl in the bar straight away, which would cost a lot of money. The person threatening cursed a few times but still agreed while threatening, if you dared to run away tomorrow, Mo-ge will never forgive you.
This wretched man couldn’t help but want to see how beautiful the girl in the bar was, so he went to eavesdrop and heard the man who got threatened tell the girl that he was going to do something big tomorrow. When the girl asked coquettishly about what is the big deal, the man replied whether dragging a whole group of people to hell is big enough.
He said that he was sick, couldn’t be cured, and only had a few days to live. He also said that God is not fair, why can’t he be an esper? He said that he was originally a member of Team Residual Blood. To proceed with their plan tomorrow, he pretended to be kicked out by the team half a month in advance, and he lived in a carefree way for the past half month.
Jiang Shengtian and the members of the Shengtian Team clenched their fists. The surname of Team Residual Blood’s account manager was Mo, and this was obviously instigated by that person Mo.
Zhuang Qingzai said: “Today I heard that there was an incident in the Shengtian Team, and I also heard that you and your Zhongyang Team surrounded Team Residual Blood, so Zhong told me about it, and I came here. Can this information help you with this matter?”
Lu Ye nodded: “Yes, it helps.”
Jiang Shengtian said: “Lu-ge, I’ll go check that bar!”
However, Lu Ye did not agree. This is a very important matter. If one follows the investigation, one may find decisive evidence. He directly asked Wan Zuochao from the Zhongyang Team to lead someone to investigate.
After arranging this, several cars came back, and some people were escorted from the cars.
“Let me go! Don’t think that we are now in an apocalypse, you can ignore the laws of the country! Lu Ye is not some heavenly king, what right does he have to arrest people?”
A man in his early thirties with a cropped hairstyle and a nose ring yelled, and Lin Tao also got out of the car and kicked him: “Hold still.” Then he trotted towards Lu Ye, “I happened to meet them on the road, so I ‘invited’ them back with me, from the captain Mo Xingjie to several deputy team members, they are all here.”
Lu Ye nodded and walked up to Mo Xingjie, who was covered in dust. Mo Xingjie was being held down, and said angrily, “Lu Ye, what do you want? This is the Jiangcheng Base, and you are not the one who has the final say!”
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Shengtian, whose eyes were about to bleed, punched right at him, followed by more punching and kicking.
Lu Ye just watched and didn’t stop him. Looking outside, a few more cars were coming, and this time, it was the Base Chief Zhou and the District Chief Lin.
The former is an upright man in military uniform in his thirties, and the other is a man in a suit in his forties with a smile on his face.
Lu Ye shook hands with them. Chief Zhou looked at Mo Xingjie who was dying from the beating, and frowned: “The matter has not been clarified yet, Captain Lu, isn’t it irresponsible for you to abuse lynching like this?”
Jiang Shengtian sneered and said, “I was the one who beat him. Does Chief Zhou want to accuse me? But you’ll have to wait until I finish avenging my bros.”
Chief Zhou frowned harder, turned his face away, and said nothing. He can’t disturb these small team leaders unless he is ready for a civil uprising.
These private non-governmental organizations are now stronger than the base’s official power, and the stability and safety of the base depend on their contribution. The base has always treated them very leniently.
Of course, this is the max he can tolerate. It is impossible for them to casually summon him and use him.
He had to come today because it involves Lu Ye.
Lu Ye is not only the leader of the Zhongyang team, but his position in the Jiangcheng Base is also detached. He is irreplaceable in the hearts of the people in the Jiangcheng Base.
One is because of the powerfulness of his supernatural powers, the second is because of the outstanding contributions he has made to this base, and the third is because his fair and upright style is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
People suspect that the superiors only care about interests in their minds, that they do not regard ordinary people as human beings, and are full of doubts, distrust, and even hatred towards the base officials. However, it is strange that they believe in Lu Ye, and many powerful espers also believe in Lu Ye wholeheartedly.
Lu Ye has all these advantages, but he refuses to serve the base. If he sets the example, people will definitely trust the government more and be more united.
Chief Zhou’s expression was fixed, he found a seat and sat down, ready to see how he would play the show today.
District Chief Lin is not as lofty as he is. He treats Lu Ye very friendly, even flattering. He keeps saying that they sure need to take this matter seriously and whatever Lu Ye decides to do, he will support him with all his will.
Lu Ye did not disappoint them, and people brought back news one after another.
On the surface, the attacker Wang Dong was indeed a member of Team Residual Blood, but he got kicked out half a month ago for violating discipline. After that, he had conflicts with members of the Shengtian Team and privately said to his friends that he would blow up the Shengtian Team if he could. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get near the Shengtian Team with a bomb, so he thought of infecting himself and attacking the Shengtian Team.
On the surface, the behavior and motive look completely personal.
Thank you so so much for picking up this novel!
