Chapter 46

Just as Meng Gan stood stunned.

A black luxury car sped toward them from afar, and in an instant, the screech of emergency brakes rang out.

Luo Chenyu frowned, silently thinking: "Could Wang Ziqian still have a hidden card up his sleeve?"

When the car door opened, he smiled.

"Mute!"

Ye Xingtong rushed toward him at high speed, ignoring his filthy clothes, and threw herself into his arms.

Luo Chenyu felt speechless, yet a strange emotion welled up inside him.

This little girl is so clingy!

"What's wrong? Where are you hurt? You're bleeding!"

Ye Xingtong was desperately anxious—she was leaving Longshan City tomorrow, and had planned to celebrate properly tonight after Luo Chenyu returned home.

But when she got back, she found Luo Chenyu hadn't returned.

She assumed he'd been trapped outdoors.

Yet after inquiries through Jin Yuan's connections, she learned Luo Chenyu had returned safely—and even bought something at the Longshan Trading House.

The problem was, during those inquiries, Jin Yuan accidentally learned someone intended to harm Luo Chenyu.

She hurried over immediately.

Now, seeing Luo Chenyu's condition, guilt surged within her.

If only she hadn't been a step too slow, Luo Chenyu wouldn't have been hurt.

"Really, I'm fine—just scraped some skin!"

Luo Chenyu pointed at the burning taxi in the distance, "Too bad about that car… Principal, you're here too!"

"As long as you're safe, Sister's relieved!"

…

Jin Yuan stepped out quickly, accompanied by an unfamiliar man.

"Today's youth!"

Jin Yuan saw the two young ones clinging to each other and shook his head.

Seeing Luo Chenyu unharmed, his tense heart settled, and his perception detected three… two corpses lying far away.

"Captain Meng, who are they?"

Meng Gan snapped out of his shock and bowed slightly to Jin Yuan, "Principal An, Chief, how did you both come here?"

The Chief of the Enforcement Team scanned the surroundings and asked, "Who are the deceased? Who were the attackers?"

Meng Gan quickly gathered his scattered thoughts and said, "Tian Fei the Scar and Lu Yi the Short Monkey from the Guidaogong Society—they were the attackers!"

"Huh?"

The Chief of the Enforcement Team frowned, "Guidaogong Society? If these two were the attackers, why are they dead? Who killed them?"

Meng Gan glanced at Luo Chenyu.

"Mute… Brother Xiaoyu says he killed them in self-defense…"

At that moment, the voice of an Enforcement Team member inspecting the bodies echoed from afar: "Chief, there are almost no battle traces—these two were almost certainly instantly killed."

The Chief: "…"

A Level 5 tank instantly killing two Level 20 first-transformation specialists?

The world may be absurd, but it still has to follow basic laws!

Jin Yuan regarded Luo Chenyu with thoughtful eyes.

"Brother Xiaoyu, tell us what happened."

This time, Ye Xingtong wisely let go of him—her face bore tear tracks, starkly visible in the firelight.

Luo Chenyu hesitated briefly, then brushed away the tears on her cheeks.

Then he began recounting the events.

The more they listened, the more suspicious it seemed—was it really that simple?

Yet none interrupted Luo Chenyu's narration.

Finally, Luo Chenyu paused, then said: "Three days ago, I fought Wang Ziqian from Class 14. That night, when I got home, I was ambushed by that man with the scarred face—he hit me from behind with a club."

"If Ye Xingtong hadn't noticed in time, I might be…"

"And this morning, Wang Ziqian came again to provoke me—I knocked him out. That's when tonight's incident happened. Those two amateurs must be connected to him!"

He wasn't speaking to Jin Yuan.

He was speaking to the Chief of the Enforcement Team—only he had the authority to investigate these matters.

If someone dared strike at him, they must face his furious retaliation—these suspicions of his were merely the first step!

The Chief of the Enforcement Team fell silent for a moment, then gave Luo Chenyu a deep look.

Then he turned to Jin Yuan and said, "Principal An, take Luo Chenyu back first. I'll handle this matter."

"A storm is coming."

Jin Yuan sighed and added, "I'll find a way to deal with that other matter—you focus on this one."

"Understood!"

As they prepared to leave, Luo Chenyu hesitated slightly, then handed Meng Gan the anonymous bank card from the Longshan Trading House: "Uncle Meng, there's about 700,000 here—please help me transfer it to the driver."

He said no more.

Meng Gan was surprised, took the card, and said, "Actually, his car was insured…"

"Insurance is one thing; my apology is another. Thank you, Uncle Meng."

In his past life, he'd been a lowly person—he knew how devastating unexpected disasters could be to a family.

This arose because of him; it's just a small token of my sincerity.

Most importantly…

On the Scar and the Short Monkey, he found two anonymous bank cards; though he didn't know how much money was in them, it certainly wouldn't be little!

Add in the items they dropped, and he wasn't losing at all.

"A bit scary-looking, but a kind-hearted kid!"

……

Inside the luxury car.

Facing Ye Xingtong tightly hugged Luo Chenyu's Qilin arm, resting her head against his strong biceps, falling asleep slowly.

"Principal, this matter isn't this simple, is it!"

Luo Chenyu may be reckless, but he's no fool; to dare attack and kill in the city, the opponent's background certainly isn't this simple.

Whether Wang Ziqian arranged it is no longer important—just dump the blame on him.

An Chen, upon hearing Luo Chenyu's words, felt deep inner conflict.

He didn't want to drag the young Luo Chenyu into the mire of power, but… now Luo Chenyu was already half-deep in it.

"Your guess isn't wrong—but it's not Wang Ziqian, it's his father, Wang Meng!"

"Wang Meng?"

Fragments of memory surfaced in Luo Chenyu's mind—a square-faced face with a falsely benevolent smile appeared.

"Maoxiangong Society!"

"This matter involves far too much; your attack is just a trivial speck in this mire. They…."

An Chen hesitated, words unspoken.

"By the way, how did you turn around and kill two Level 20, First-Transformation cultivators?"

Luo Chenyu glanced at the driver ahead, "They were just too weak!"

An Chen: "……"
