Chapter 2098: Chapter 2098: Light-Year Distance (27)

The severe consequences caused by those people on the street scared many citizens. It’s not wrong to say it created panic.

Creating violent panic on the Imperial Capital Star is far more serious than hunting down an individual.

The former is a provocation to the entire Imperial Capital Star, while the latter is just personal vendetta.

Cai Yingzhen was so angry that he almost couldn’t catch his breath.

He calculated a thousand times but never expected such a drama; Cai Yingzhen had no idea how to continue his performance.

It was only when Cai Yingzhen was taken away that he realized the place was full of Second Legion people, and everyone was under control.

After Cai Yingzhen was taken away, the room was left with the frightened, pale-faced Matriarch of Wei Family: ”Madam Wei, shall we have a chat?”

The Matriarch of Wei Family’s legs went weak, and she collapsed into a chair.

She looked at Chuzheng as if she were looking at a monster.

”You...” The Matriarch of Wei Family questioned, trembling: ”You’re from the legion. How can you turn black and white like this!”

”Madam Wei, that’s not quite right. Someone first pointed out Mr. Cai, the arrest warrant was issued in layers, and I’m just a counselor. I don’t have that much power.”

The Matriarch of Wei Family: ”...”

Chuzheng signaled to have the door closed.

”What do you want?”

”Rest assured, no one has pointed out Madam Wei, so I won’t do anything to you. But I do want to talk to you about Wei Shi.”

”...” The Matriarch of Wei Family’s chaotic mind suddenly became clear at that moment, Wei Shi! That’s the bastard!

Chuzheng threw another heavy message: ”Do you want to know where Wei Zhiyang went?”

The Matriarch of Wei Family’s eyes widened abruptly.

”What have you done to Zhiyang!!”

Chuzheng looked up into the void.

The Matriarch of Wei Family instinctively followed her gaze, and an image was projected into the air.

It was a completely dark space, Wei Zhiyang sat there alone, with light only around him.

Wei Zhiyang was apparently somewhat afraid, occasionally looking around, but his spirit was good, not considered wretched.

”Zhiyang!” The Matriarch of Wei Family shouted with heartbreak, then turned to glare at Chuzheng: ”What have you done to him!”

Chuzheng’s face remained unchanged: ”As long as Wei Shi is okay, your child will also be fine. If Wei Shi gets hurt, I’ll repay it double on your child, Madam Wei. What do you think?”

The Matriarch of Wei Family: ”...”

Madwoman!

This madwoman!

The Matriarch of Wei Family cursed loudly, her words full of threats. But to Chuzheng, these had no effect at all.

She stood there, allowing the Matriarch of Wei Family to cry and curse.

Ultimately, the Matriarch of Wei Family probably realized that her brother was taken away, leaving her with no choice but to bow her head.

”What do you want to bring Zhiyang back? As long as you bring him back, I’ll agree to anything. I won’t trouble Wei Shi anymore; the Wei Family will be his in the future. Just bring Zhiyang back.”

Chuzheng bent over and whispered a couple of sentences.

The pleading in the Matriarch of Wei Family’s eyes turned into terror.

”Are you even human!!”

The Matriarch of Wei Family shouted herself hoarse.

Chuzheng straightened up and looked at her, ”Madam Wei, did you think about this when you targeted Wei Shi?”

The Matriarch of Wei Family: ”...”

The Matriarch of Wei Family slumped down, like a puddle of mud, her pale lips trembling violently.

This woman not only wanted her not to harm Wei Shi but also demanded she protect him...

If something happened to Wei Shi, then Zhiyang would...

”You’re a devil!”

The Matriarch of Wei Family shouted towards Chuzheng’s back.

Chuzheng paused slightly, turned a little: ”If that’s what you believe, so be it.”

”But don’t forget the devil’s warning.”

Leaving the Wei Family, Chen Chuan finally understood why Chuzheng had him record those things before handing Wei Zhiyang over to Wei Shi.

The young lady had planned this from the start.

Even if there hadn’t been this attack, she would have found a way to create a legitimate reason to cause trouble.

However...

”Miss, Wei Zhiyang was taken away by Mr. Wei. Is it okay for us to deceive her like this?” What if it gets exposed?

”She doesn’t know.” Chuzheng stepped onto the hovering car.

Chen Chuan: ”...”

Chen Chuan was still somewhat worried; after Wei Shi took Wei Zhiyang away, he didn’t know what ultimately happened to him.

If Wei Zhiyang turned out to be fine and suddenly returned...

”Then just don’t let him come back. Do I need to teach you how?”

”...Understood.” Chen Chuan thought about it again, feeling there was a problem: ”But...”

”Are you done yet?”

”Miss, one last question.” Chen Chuan spoke rapidly: ”What if Mr. Wei tells Madam Wei that Wei Zhiyang is already gone?”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Even if Wei Zhiyang were really dead, as long as Wei Shi isn’t foolish, he likely won’t reveal it anytime soon.

So it’s not a problem.

Cai Yingzhen was imprisoned in the Second Legion, facing the setup for inspecting a traitor, Cai Yingzhen was truly frightened.

This wasn’t that Liang’s private punishment; she had indeed reported the matter.

Now he’s been identified.

He indeed had connections with these people, if thoroughly investigated, he indeed couldn’t clear himself.

He can only save himself by actively confessing, saying it was due to personal grievances, not creating a terror attack.

After weighing his options, Cai Yingzhen actively confessed his motives were unrelated to the terror attack.

Not only admitting to the act, but also confessing that the last assault on Wei Shi, where he ended up stranded on Barren Star, was also his doing.

”Cai Yingzhen confessed.” Inspector Yao delivered the message to Chuzheng: ”Since it’s personal vendetta, it needs to be transferred out, not under our examination.”

”How long is the sentence?”

”...That’s hard to say.”

”Add a few more charges to him.”

”Vice Councillor Liang, you this...”

”Destroying public facilities, injuring ordinary citizens, causing panic, unauthorized modification of hover car...” Chuzheng listed over ten charges: ”Have these events not occurred?”

Inspector Yao thought for a moment, unable to argue, nodded: ”Yes.”

Chuzheng’s face was stern: ”We’re strictly adhering to facts, right, Inspector Yao.”

”...”

Even though I feel like you’re talking nonsense, I don’t have any evidence.

Cai Yingzhen was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment, spending his life in the star era prison.

Each of his charges was valid and not something Chuzheng made up.

Hence, there’s no chance for an appeal.

Having dealt with an unstable factor, Chuzheng was in a good mood and was about to look for her card when Inspector Yao suddenly informed her.

”Vice Councillor Liang, Marshal Kelly wants to see you.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Same place as the last meeting, but this time Marshal Kelly dressed more casually, appearing more approachable.

”Marshal.”

”Vice Councillor Liang is here, have a seat.” Marshal Kelly gestured for Chuzheng to sit: ”You all go out now.”

The others in the room all exited.

Marshal Kelly put down what he was holding, clasped his hands together on the table: ”Regarding Cai Yingzhen’s matter, Vice Councillor Liang has quite the tactics.”

Chuzheng calmly retorted: ”Marshal, what does it have to do with me?”

Marshal Kelly: ”Don’t worry, this matter has settled. I’m just curious, about that young guy in the Wei Family, what’s your relationship with him?”
