Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

165: Fans learned of his return to China.After a few greetings, Zhang Ze and his group boarded the silver-white private plane.

Inside the plane, it was configured for luxurious business travel, featuring soft leather sofas, fully equipped entertainment systems, and a beautiful flight attendant in uniform.

An Yang sank into a sofa, letting out a groan of pure bliss.

“Holy cow, this is the life!”

Chen Hu found a window seat, put on an eye mask, and seemed ready to sleep all the way until they reached Dragon Country.

Wang Hao, however, seemed a bit reserved, sitting cautiously.

Zhang Ze poured himself a glass of champagne, then quietly opened his Streamer app.

“family members, this cross-border business inspection has concluded successfully.”

“The project was a great success, creating hundreds of jobs for the local area, promoting local economic development and social stability. It was truly a meritorious deed.”

The bullet screen comments in the live broadcast room instantly exploded.

[I believed your evil!]

[Ze, stop pretending, we all saw the fireworks last night!]

[Creating jobs (meaning recruiting the gang members), promoting economic development (meaning confiscating all assets), social stability (meaning eliminating all unstable elements). Checks out!]

[God Zhou is awesome (voice cracking)!]

Looking at the screen full of comments, Zhang Ze contentedly closed the live broadcast.

It was time to tally up the harvest from this trip.

He closed his eyes, sinking his consciousness into the System.

[Ding! Five-star S-rank mission: ’Eliminate the Serpent and Rescue the People’ is complete!]

[Mission evaluation: Perfect!]

[Calculating rewards...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500,000 points of fan favor value!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new skill: Corporate Management (Basic)! Note: A qualified overbearing CEO cannot only know how to fight and kill; understanding financial statements and PUAing employees are also required courses.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special item: The Black Serpent’s Ledger (Digital Edition). Note: If this thing were leaked, at least half of the world’s arms dealers and underground organizations would want to kill you, and the other half would want to recruit you. Please use with caution.]

Zhang Ze’s expression gradually became strange.

Corporate Management?

The Black Serpent’s Ledger?

System, do you misunderstand me?

I am a righteous Streamer, a bodyguard who settles disputes. Now you want to push me into the fiery pit of being a capitalist!

[Ding! Detecting that the host has successfully completed the first cross-border business expansion, the ’Guardian’ Group mode has been activated.]

[Do you wish to enable the ’Multinational Corporation CEO Simulator’ beginner tutorial?]

Zhang Ze: ... Damn it!

Reject!

What is this? I’m a righteous partner, and you want me to simulate a CEO? To learn how to give employees false promises and implement the 996 ’blessing’?

Your scope is too small, System!

The plane flew steadily at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

An Yang had already started testing the massage functions of his seat, letting out comfortable hums.

“Brother Ze, this thing is incredible! Our company should switch to these chairs too!”

“Sure,” Zhang Ze opened his eyes, “When we get back, tell Shawa to send over some more ’local specialties’ and get you a diamond-encrusted one.”

“Got it!” An Yang agreed without thinking twice.

Zhang Ze was speechless.

This silly kid really didn’t catch the sarcasm at all.

He turned his head to look at Wang Hao, who was sitting restlessly on the other side.

“Student Wang, relax a little, we’ll be home soon.”

“Mhm... mhm!” Wang Hao nodded vigorously, but his body was still tense. “Brother Ze, truly... thank you all so much for this time.”

“Don’t mention it,” Zhang Ze waved his hand. “Go back and get some good rest, then think about your future. Will you continue your studies, or go directly into the research institute to help your father with his work?”

Wang Hao lowered his head and adjusted his glasses.

“I want to... finish my studies first. My dad hopes I can build a solid foundation.”

“That’s good,” Zhang Ze approved. “Knowledge is power, you see. Look at me, I suffered from a lack of education, so now I can only be the boss of a security company.”

An Yang chimed in from the side: “Brother Ze, you call that uneducated? You can speak bird language!”

Zhang Ze: “...”

Thank you very much; that’s called English.

A few hours later, the plane’s announcement sounded, indicating that the plane was about to land at Jianghai City International Airport.

An Yang excitedly leaned against the window.

“We’re home, we’re home!”

Zhang Ze also stretched, preparing to welcome the stable life he had been away from for many days.

However, as the plane landed smoothly, taxied down the runway, and gradually approached the terminal, all three noticed something was wrong.

“Holy crap!” An Yang’s face was practically pressed against the window. “Brother Ze! Chen Hu! Look quickly!”

Zhang Ze and Chen Hu leaned over simultaneously.

They saw that the apron exit and the terminal arrival area in the distance were packed with people, a dense, dark mass.

Given the scale of the scene, anyone who didn’t know better would think an international superstar had just arrived.

Furthermore, several enormous banners were stretched across the crowd, with white characters on a red background, making them particularly eye-catching.

[A warm welcome to Brother Pingshi on his triumphant return!]

[Thank you, Brother Ze, for rescuing our Dragon Country compatriots!]

[Brother Ze is the GOAT! You are our eternal pride!]

[A Lone Boat on the River and Sea, handsome across the globe!]

Zhang Ze was completely numb.

What is going on here?

How did the news of my return to the airport leak out?

Does one of my fans work as a mole in the Civil Aviation Administration?

An Yang was dumbfounded.

“Brother Ze... are all these people here to greet you?”

“What else?” Zhang Ze rolled his eyes. “Are they here to greet you?”

He observed carefully and found that the crowd not only contained fervent fans holding light boards and banners but also a large group of reporters carrying cameras and microphones, as well as several serious-looking men in black suits and sunglasses struggling to maintain order.

The scene was highly chaotic.

The plane door slowly opened.

An airport ground staff member and two men in suits quickly walked in, their faces covered in sweat.

The leading man in the suit came up to Mr. Zhang and first gave a salute.

“Mr. Zhang, I was sent by Chief Long to pick you up. My name is Li Mo.”

“Hello.” Zhang Ze shook his hand. “What is the situation outside?”

Li Mo’s expression was helpless.

“We also don’t know how the news leaked. The information about your return to the country suddenly spread online about three hours ago.”

“All the major media outlets and your fans rushed over. We couldn’t stop them.”

Zhang Ze rubbed his forehead.

This is terrible.

My low-profile persona of a “cross-border business inspection” is going to collapse before the act even begins.

“So what do we do now?” Zhang Ze asked.

“We have prepared a special channel that can bypass most of the crowd. However, we definitely have to pass through the press area,” Li Mo said. “The Chief’s instruction is for us to escort you out as quickly as possible.”

Zhang Ze glanced at An Yang and Wang Hao behind him.

An Yang looked excited and was already itching to go out and enjoy the treatment of a celebrity.
