Chapter 2097: Chapter 2097: Light-Year Distance (26)

Mother Liang accused Chuzheng tearfully, saying she had raised an ungrateful child who was so heartless to her own family.

When Chuzheng publicly severed ties with the Liang Family earlier, some people already thought she was unfeeling.

The Liang Family was her biological family, who raised her, and how could she kick them away after returning?

Therefore, once this video surfaced, public opinion almost entirely leaned towards Mother Liang’s side, criticizing Chuzheng for being cold-blooded on the star network.

”Vice Councillor Liang, how can you still be so leisurely?”

Inspector Yao rushed out of a meeting room as if a fire was burning his seat.

”What else?”

”Did you not see the news on the star network?”

”???”

After parting ways with Mother Liang, she went directly to the base, where was the time to look at the star network?

Inspector Yao opened the star network in front of her: ”Look, see for yourself.”

The events in the video, Chuzheng had personally experienced them, so she couldn’t be more familiar with the content of this video.

[Honestly, this is kind of going overboard, those are her biological parents, how could she treat them like this?]

[Isn’t this exactly raising an ungrateful person? Once she did well, she kicked the family away, after raising her for so many years, it’s not as beneficial as raising a pet.]

[And this is supposed to be an Alliance Hero? She doesn’t even care about her own family, will she care about her comrades in the future?]

[But don’t you think about what the Liang Family did? When Liang Chuzheng returned, the Liang Family didn’t make any gesture, to begin with, and her sister even stole her man, how could you tolerate that?]

[I think she’s not wrong, you guys don’t even know what really happened.]

Some people stood up for the Liang Family, while others defended Chuzheng.

The rhetoric from both sides was becoming increasingly extreme, and eventually, it all turned into a big argument.

Chuzheng glanced through it briefly: ”Just this issue?”

”...” Just? Is this not serious enough? Inspector Yao looked at Chuzheng’s expression carefully: ”Vice Councillor Liang, are you... alright?”

”I’m fine.” Very well.

”...”

Inspector Yao was a bit scared, when encountering such a matter, who could remain so calm? How could she behave like the people on the star network were discussing how nice the weather was today?

Chuzheng clicked on her profile page.

She hadn’t updated her profile page since returning, and the people on the star network kept refreshing it and suddenly found Chuzheng had updated her status.

Liang Chuzheng - Second Legion Vice Councillor: The honor is mine, I give when I want to give, and I don’t give when I don’t want to.

Inspector Yao originally thought Chuzheng would give some explanation, but who knew she would post such a strong statement.

”...”

Inspector Yao silently gave Chuzheng a thumbs up.

Awesome!

Chuzheng humbly nodded, closed her homepage, and ignored the uproar on the star network.

”About yesterday’s matter, have those people confessed?”

”No, they stubbornly claim they followed the wrong person.” Inspector Yao: ”Looks like that trouble caused by the Wei family’s young one isn’t small, even involving star mercenaries.”

Chuzheng raised her eyebrows slightly, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes.

Mercenaries...

Isn’t that just a matter of paying for services?

Chuzheng wanted to interrogate them personally, but her request was denied by the patrol team. Everyone has their own duties, and wanting to bypass jurisdictions requires following procedures.

Chuzheng couldn’t do anything, so she went back to obtain a transfer order, moving all of them to the base for interrogation.

This group was stubborn, sticking to one story.

It was evident they had already planned the strategy before coming, discussing how to respond if caught.

However...

For Chuzheng, none of it was a problem.

The Wei Family.

The Matriarch of the Wei Family was pacing back and forth in the room, looking young and beautiful, but there was deep worry and anxiety in her eyes.

Click—

The door was pushed open, and the Matriarch of the Wei Family immediately looked over: ”Brother!”

Cai Yingzhen closed the door: ”You called me in such a hurry, what happened?”

”I haven’t been able to contact Zhiyang this entire time, I’m all over the place internally.” The Matriarch of the Wei Family held her chest: ”Could something have happened to him?”

A while back, he insisted on going out for fun, and she couldn’t control him. As he grew older, he liked the outside world, and she could understand.

Wei Zhiyang was having fun outside, and sometimes it’d be ten days or half a month without sending her a message, and she hadn’t worried.

But recently, her anxiety had grown.

She constantly felt something had happened.

”You can’t reach him?” Cai Yingzhen was puzzled: ”Can you not reach the people around Zhiyang either?”

Matriarch of the Wei Family: ”That’s exactly why I called you here.”

If she could contact the people around Wei Zhiyang, she wouldn’t be this anxious.

She should have never let him go out in the first place.

Cai Yingzhen frowned: ”Don’t worry, maybe he’s in an area with bad communication. I’ll try to find out first.”

The Matriarch of the Wei Family nodded: ”Brother, you must look into it quickly, my heart is...”

At this point, the Matriarch of the Wei Family felt as if she couldn’t breathe.

Cai Yingzhen comforted her a few times, telling her not to worry, and immediately went to investigate.

”Brother.” The Matriarch of the Wei Family called after him again: ”There’s one more thing. Have you heard about Wei Shi’s matter? The people who attacked him were taken away by the Second Legion.”

”Hmm?”

Cai Yingzhen didn’t know about this yet.

”Did our brother-in-law do it?”

The Matriarch of the Wei Family shook her head: ”Recently, he’s been getting close to the Second Legion’s Vice Councillor Liang, who was the one who had the people transferred from the patrol team.”

Cai Yingzhen pondered for a moment, comforting the Matriarch of the Wei Family: ”Don’t worry, it’s not going to trace back to us.”

”People wouldn’t know unless oneself does it, Mr. Cai, Madam Wei, don’t you think so?”

The door was pushed open, and people flowed in, lining up in two rows.

Outside the door, a young girl stood with her hands behind her back, and even in ordinary clothes, she could not hide the noble aura emanating from her.

The Matriarch of the Wei Family, shocked, pointed at her: ”Liang...”

Perhaps due to shock, she couldn’t finish the sentence.

Cai Yingzhen was also utterly shocked; how could she appear here? And with so many people?

Cai Yingzhen quickly composed himself; ”Vice Councillor Liang, what is the meaning of this?”

”I would also like to ask what you mean, Mr. Cai.”

Cai Yingzhen frowned: ”You break into the Wei Family with people and ask what I mean, Vice Councillor Liang, I don’t understand your meaning.”

He stood in front of the Matriarch of the Wei Family, indicating to her not to say anything.

Chuzheng waved, and images were projected in the air immediately.

”These people, Mr. Cai, should not be unfamiliar to you?”

Cai Yingzhen’s eyes swept over the people in the images, a jolt in his heart, with his expression darkening.

”I don’t know them.”

”Oh, no problem, as long as they know you.”

Cai Yingzhen got angry: ”Vice Councillor Liang, what do you mean! I don’t know them at all!”

Chuzheng lazily pointed in the air slightly: ”Mr. Cai ordered people to attack the Imperial Capital Star, causing serious consequences, arrest him according to the law.”

Cai Yingzhen’s pupils contracted, shouting out in horror: ”What nonsense are you talking!”

Chuzheng’s finger turned upwards, suggesting Cai Yingzhen look for himself.

The arrest warrant was clear and concise.

”Nonsense! I did nothing!” Cai Yingzhen never expected Chuzheng to place such a charge on him: ”You’re framing me!”
