Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2087: Chapter 2087: Light-Year Distance (16)

Wei Shi heard the commotion, frowned, and got up, walking to the door.

He just saw Trooper 1234 chasing Chuzheng up.

”Deputy Inspector Liang, please reconsider? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!!”

”Inspector Lu wants to save him!”

”Deputy Inspector Liang...”

Chuzheng wasn’t in a good mood, and a few people were still making noise behind her.

Chuzheng turned around: ”I’ll say it again, I tried to save him but failed, that’s how the report will be made, understood?”

Trooper 1234: ”...This... This is falsifying, being discovered is a serious violation.”

”It’s just us here, as long as you all insist, who would know?”

”...”

This isn’t right!

Chuzheng continued to brainwash them: ”Didn’t I already try to rescue Lu Zhaonian?”

Trooper 1234 nodded.

”Wasn’t Haild refusing to let them go?”

Trooper 1234 continued nodding.

”I went to save him, Haild wouldn’t release him, so in the end, wasn’t it a failed rescue?” Chuzheng laid out the full logic chain.

Trooper 1234 kept nodding.

”Then what’s the issue?”

”...” Though there’s no logic in what you say, they seem unable to refute it.

Wei Shi watched Trooper 1234 being baffled by Chuzheng to the point of not daring to speak, the corner of his mouth twitched.

This person...

seems different from what he thought.

Chuzheng was initially heading in another direction, then suddenly turned a corner, arriving at Wei Shi’s door: ”Have you made up your mind?”

Wei Shi backed up two steps to keep a distance from Chuzheng: ”Can you really leave here?”

”Of course.”

The girl was confident and assured.

Wei Shi wasn’t certain about the truth of her words.

”You won’t even save your own companions, why should I trust you?”

Listening to those people earlier, she didn’t plan on saving Lu Zhaonian, so why would she be kind enough to take him away?

”You’re different.” Could you compare yourself to Lu Zhaonian? Who does he think he is?

Wei Shi frowned slightly: ”How am I different?”

”You... look good.” Hmm!

Wei Shi: ”...”

Wei Shi had met Lu Zhaonian, even if they hadn’t seen each other for years, he shouldn’t have changed much, and he didn’t look bad either.

-

”Did you hear? Deputy Inspector Liang said he looks good, I told you, Deputy Inspector Liang has taken a liking to him.”

”How can Deputy Inspector Liang be so shallow?”

”It’s not Deputy Inspector Liang being shallow, it’s the person inside. I bet many people outside would be just as shallow.”

”...”

Chuzheng came out of the room, and the two who were discussing together immediately stood at attention.

Chuzheng glanced at them, said nothing, and left directly.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

Scared to death.

Deputy Inspector Liang really had a terrifying aura.

-

For the people here, the spaceship is indeed a matter of life and death.

But Chuzheng wasn’t interested.

Outside it would probably be considered junk.

Chuzheng paid Du Bang to help her send a message.

Seeing an opportunity for profit, Du Bang happily went to complete Chuzheng’s request.

After he completed it, he suddenly snapped to attention.

What message did she send?

Could it be calling the Allied Army here?

Wouldn’t that be a disaster?

Du Bang slapped his face with his hand: ”You greedy fool!”

After that, Du Bang spent every day in fear, ready to flee at any moment.

However, it wasn’t the Allied Army that came, but a merchant ship.

Being able to safely avoid the magnetic field above and land without a scratch, this merchant ship was definitely not ordinary.

Everyone: ”...”

Like hell that’s a normal merchant ship?

Chen Chuan arrived with his men at Du Bang’s Iron Town, each one tall and imposing, and their presence was intimidating, causing the town’s people to willingly make way for them.

The people at Du Bang’s base were on alert, weapons aimed at the approaching visitors.

As they got close, someone shouted: ”Who are you? Coming here...”

”Let them in.”

Chuzheng’s voice came from above.

Du Bang had his suspicions, but didn’t expect they were really here for her.

These people...

The guards hesitated and looked towards Du Bang.

Du Bang quickly gestured, indicating they should open the door and allow entry.

Chen Chuan entered the base with his men, while the others remained on the open ground, hands folded in front of them, standing perfectly still like statues.

Chen Chuan ascended alone, with Du Bang eagerly following behind.

”Miss, upon receiving your message, I came immediately.” Chen Chuan’s attitude was respectful.

Du Bang swallowed nervously, thinking to himself, if even one subordinate had such an aura... isn’t she part of the Allied Army?

Then why does the group below seem different?

”What’s the situation outside?”

Chen Chuan: ”Only the battleship you’re aboard was attacked. According to the latest information, the route map was altered and then the records were erased. There’s also a mole on the battleship. If it wasn’t for your alert, we would still be searching for your location.”

The attack on the battleship happened too quickly, indicating it was premeditated.

”Who is the target?”

”It should not be you,” Chen Chuan said. ”It’s likely Inspector Lu.”

”So I’m collateral damage?”

”...” Chen Chuan nodded.

”Who are those people?”

Chen Chuan shook his head: ”Haven’t identified them yet.”

The opposition worked cleanly, leaving no evidence behind.

Chuzheng pondered deeply, whoever dared to act on the battleship was at least someone within the Allied Army, or with a fairly high status.

Otherwise, they might be... spies.

But using a mole from the Allied Army to eliminate Lu Zhaonian, what’s the point?

Lu Zhaonian as an inspector, a position neither high nor low, what reason warranted considerable effort to eliminate him?

But this has nothing to do with me.

It wasn’t directed at me!

Chuzheng instructed Chen Chuan: ”Okay, prepare, we’re leaving here.”

”Yes, Miss.”

-

After Chuzheng left, Du Bang hesitated, moving slowly to Chen Chuan’s side.

”Uh... are you the Boss’s subordinate?”

Chen Chuan was in the middle of instructing his people when he heard the voice, he turned his head slightly towards Du Bang.

”And you are?”

”I’m Du Bang,” Du Bang quickly extended his hand: ”Hello.”

”Hi.” Chen Chuan only nodded slightly without extending his hand.

Du Bang used to think he was the local emperor, high and mighty, extremely dignified.

But now, compared to someone like Chen Chuan in a suit, he felt like a clown.

Du Bang awkwardly withdrew his hand: ”So, does the Boss still need subordinates?”

He didn’t want to stay here.

Following her seemed very promising!!

Du Bang was always pragmatic.

Being pragmatic ensured survival.

When the chance arises, he seizes it.

Chen Chuan: ”You’ll have to ask Miss.”

”Oh...” Du Bang hesitated, then asked his doubt: ”Isn’t she an Inspector? Why do you call her ’Miss’?”

”We are not from the Allied Army, so naturally, we call her Miss.”

Du Bang: ”...”

So who is she really?

Chen Chuan didn’t continue conversing with Du Bang, turned and went downstairs.

Du Bang stood for a few seconds before hurriedly chasing in the direction where Chuzheng had left.
