Chapter 2086: Chapter 2086: Light-Year Distance (15)

King’s Account advised Chuzheng to keep up with the times and not watch those messy dramas from the past.

Chuzheng ignored it and was very firm in her decision, absolutely unwavering.

[...] Frustrated into glitching, need to calm down, let’s assign her a mission!

King’s Account sent a mission, and both sides indeed calmed down significantly, since Chuzheng directly blocked it.

King’s Account felt bitter inside, but it didn’t say anything, it was a strong system.

While Wei Shi was contemplating, Chuzheng went to buy... ransom back the other captured people from the legion.

Buying what doesn’t matter.

It’s all the same.

[Miss, if you do this, we’re going to lose love!]

Never had love.

[...] King’s Account was going crazy, [We’ve been working together for so long, have you no conscience?]

Didn’t you eat it?

[...] Hmm hmm hmm?? What eaten... [You’re insulting me!]

I’m not, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense.

[...]

King’s Account logged off and hid; if it continued talking with her, it would sooner or later feel so angry that its heart disease would relapse!

”Deputy Inspector Liang... are you there?” The voice of Legion No. 2 came from outside the door.

Chuzheng opened the door and went out: ”What’s the matter?”

Legion No. 2 cleared his throat: ”Well... the brothers who came back said Inspector Lu is also with Haild!”

”Who?”

”Inspector Lu... Lu Zhaonian.” Legion No. 2 clearly knows the gossip on the star network too, his voice weakening.

Chuzheng’s expression turned stern, and she asked coldly: ”What did you just say?”

”Inspector Lu...”

”The sentence before that.”

”The brothers who came back said Inspector Lu is also with Haild...”

”The sentence before that.”

”Are you... there?”

”Not here.”

Chuzheng slammed the door shut.

Legion No. 2: ”??”

Legion No. 2 got a cold shoulder, and then No. 1, 3, and 4 came one after another to knock on the door.

The main point was that Inspector Lu needed saving.

Chuzheng was annoyed: ”He’s not even from the Second Legion, what’s there to rescue!”

”But we’re all part of the Alliance, we’ll see each other in the future, maybe even work together. How can we not rescue him?”

Chuzheng was adamant: ”I can!”

”Deputy Inspector Liang, we all know you and Inspector Lu have some sort of... misunderstanding, but we’re outside now, we need to stand united!” If we don’t rescue him, we’ll get punished!!

These past few days with Chuzheng, they felt that while she’s a bit cold, besides that, she’s actually great.

They are internally on her side.

But reason doesn’t allow it.

If they don’t rescue him and Inspector Lu dies here, alright, but if he survives and returns, all these people will suffer.

No matter the grievances, outside they’re comrades.

Neglecting a comrade who’s sick or dying, the Allied Army’s regulations are very clear on punishment.

If personal grievances prevent you from saving a comrade, who would dare to trust others with their back?

”Then why don’t we get rid of him?” Chuzheng coldly suggested a bold and mature idea.

Everyone: ”...”

You’re indeed mature.

In the end, Chuzheng still spent money to ransom him, considering he could help her spend money, she’d... tolerate him for a bit.

To be honest, besides marrying Liang Nian, Lu Zhaonian didn’t really do anything to harm the original host.

But she was willing to ransom him, yet Haild’s side refused to release him.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Well, that works just fine!

This is no longer my problem, right?

Legion No. 1, 2, 3, 4: ”...”

Why is life so hard for them, finally persuaded Deputy Inspector Liang and now the other side is making trouble!

Wei Shi only had the room to move around, although the door was open so he could see outside.

He clearly noticed the number of people had increased significantly these past few days.

Looks like she brought back the people from Haild...

Did Haild actually agree to free them?

Wei Shi stood at the door and happened to hear the idle chatter between the guards, catching phrases like Deputy Inspector Liang, Inspector Lu, Lu Zhaonian.

”Hey.”

The two chatting people turned to look at Wei Shi.

They came later, only know this youth is someone Deputy Inspector Liang had them watch, not knowing his background.

Wei Shi stood inside the door, asked: ”Is Lu Zhaonian from that Imperial Capital Star Lu Family?”

”Yeah, you know him?” one of them asked curiously.

Wei Shi didn’t answer but asked: ”Where is he?”

”At Haild’s place.”

Wei Shi frowned, at Haild’s? How come he hasn’t seen him? Though his movements were limited at that time, maybe he was confined elsewhere.

”What is his relationship with your Deputy Inspector Liang?”

The two exchanged a glance, smiled but didn’t say anything.

They didn’t dare to speak carelessly.

This smile appeared slightly ambiguous to Wei Shi.

Unable to gather more information, Wei Shi could only return to his room.

”Who exactly is he?”

”No idea, heard Deputy Inspector Liang got him back.”

”Deputy Inspector Liang hasn’t taken a liking to him, has she? He’s too good-looking.”

”But isn’t Deputy Inspector Liang with Inspector Lu...”

Their whispered discussion managed to make its way inside.

Wei Shi stared at the void, expression shifting unpredictably, pondering something unknown.

The next day, Wei Shi saw Chuzheng leave early, taking people with her.

Listening to the discussion outside, she was going to personally rescue Lu Zhaonian.

Wei Shi stood for a moment, expressionless, and returned to the room.

The reason Haild wouldn’t let him go was because his daughter had taken a liking to Lu Zhaonian.

Haild’s daughter looked just like him, Chuzheng imagined the scene; it was a bit... funny.

Calm down, no laughing, keep it together!

The big boss image mustn’t crumble!

”He’s already married outside,” Chuzheng said. ”Marrying your daughter again will be committing bigamy.”

Bigamy is illegal even in the Star Era.

”What’s the fear, he won’t return anyway,” Haild’s daughter snorted coldly. ”Father, I won’t let you let him go!”

Haild pampered his daughter extremely: ”Alright, alright, as you say.” He gave Chuzheng an apologetic look: ”You see, my daughter doesn’t want to let him go.”

Chuzheng really wanted to ask if they were idiots?

Lu Zhaonian’s attire was clearly that of an official, even if one didn’t recognize the rank, common sense would suggest someone dressed so uniquely and looking so striking wouldn’t be a small fry, right?

They’re bold for detaining him?

Are they not afraid of the Lu Family rallying a team to annihilate them?

Of course, Chuzheng wouldn’t remind them about the IQ issue.

Legion No. 1, 2, 3, 4 saw Chuzheng seemed quite happy to fulfill their wishes, quickly recited the Alliance Army regulations to her.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Who cares about those regulations, not rescuing!

Anyone who wants to rescue can go themselves!

Do I fear military regulations?

”Then congratulations to you.”

With these words, Chuzheng left, ignoring the shock from Legion No. 1, 2, 3, 4.

”Deputy Inspector Liang!!”

Legion No. 1, 2, 3, 4 recovered from the shock, quickly chased after her.
