Chapter 387: Ye Heng was mistaken for a spy and dragged before the Special Zone chief

~8 min read 1,408 words

Oh no, they're here!

Although Xu Ya had been mentally prepared, when the defense team actually arrived, she still couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Ye Brother, I'm really sorry to have dragged you into this; the newly appointed defense team captain is Lü Feng, he is narrow-minded and already has a grudge against my family's Luo Song, so this time he probably won't let it go easily.

Ye Heng had a sense of it, figuring that Lü Feng couldn't possibly run amok in the Special Zone; he also had his own backing and wasn't afraid of him.

Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have a plan; you stay with the kids to look after Luo Song, I'll go out and handle it.

Xu Ya was very worried and wanted to go along.

Since the matter ultimately arose because of her, Ye Heng has already helped greatly, using such precious medical resources to save Luo Song's life; how could we let Ye Heng face it alone?

I'll go with you; if Old Luo wakes up and finds out I hid and let you go out alone to deal with those people, he'll also blame me.

After Xu Ya finished speaking, Ye Heng immediately refused her.

Sister-in-law, trust me; Luo Song knows my abilities, I'll be fine. If you go with me and get taken away, leaving only the unconscious Luo Song and two kids at home, that would really be unsettling.

By the way, sister-in-law, while we have this chance, perhaps you can first tidy up the house and gather all the supplies.

Ye Heng's words paused, his gaze swept over this warm little home, and he felt a sigh in his heart.

Perhaps this place can't be stayed in any longer; you need to make plans early.

Ye Heng's words let Xu Ya calm down.

Soon, the pounding on the door grew heavier, and curses came streaming in.

Ye Heng frowned, closed Luo Song's room door, then strode to the main door and flung it open.

The people outside saw Ye Heng and instantly showed a look of contempt.

What bad luck, chief, he's really just a civilian; how did this guy manage to get in?

From the crowd walked out an arrogant figure, who glanced at Ye Heng and said contemptuously:

Luo Song having been captain for many years, it's normal for him to have a few tricks, but he certainly wouldn't have expected that this convenience would let his wife take advantage, sneaking around with another man behind his back.

Hahaha, chief, Luo Song is really miserable—aside from being near death, his wife is cheating right in front of him; he must die with his eyes unclosed.

Lü Feng gave a heh heh cold stare, fixing his gaze on Ye Heng.

Vile civilian, where is Xu Ya? You've violated Special Zone law; as the defense team captain, I have the authority to arrest you and take you back.

Ye Heng remained calm throughout; Lü Feng is clearly a treacherous petty person, but such people are often the most arrogant, fond of playing power games.

Defense team captain, right? Even if you arrest me first, it's the same; but the defense team probably doesn't have execution authority, does it?

Lü Feng glared at Ye Heng with malice; this person is clearly a lowly civilian, yet dares to speak to him in this tone—does he even deserve it?

Just no execution authority, but that doesn't mean I can't do something else to you; take him away, I want to personally torture him to see how tough his mouth really is!

Ye Heng slammed the door shut with a backhand, showing no fear at all.

Wait a moment, are you sure you want to take me away privately? What if I'm a spy, sneaking in with impure motives? Hand me over to the Special Zone chief—you might even earn great merit.

Lü Feng scoffed, 'You? You still want to see our Special Zone chief? Don't dream about it.'

Ye Heng likewise sneered contemptuously and said:

You probably can't even see your own Special Zone chief, right? I remember Luo Song used to often be summoned by the Special Zone chief; it seems you, as a newly appointed official, haven't yet gained the chief's recognition.

Upon hearing this, Lü Feng's face twisted.

His appointment indeed didn't alarm the Special Zone chief, and he truly never had a chance to meet the chief.

Previously, Luo Song could always show himself before various dignitaries, gain familiarity, and reap some benefits.

From now on, he will be the defense team captain; Luo Song's former connections and benefits should now be taken over by him.

For a moment, Lü Feng, unwilling to yield, immediately snapped at Ye Heng viciously:

You want the Special Zone chief to personally judge you, huh? Fine! I'll grant you that!

Lock him up! I want to personally bring him before the Special Zone chief, and say that I, Lü Feng, on patrol, discovered a suspicious spy!

Luo Song's older brother got anxious, 'We came to catch an adulterer, so how did it become a spy?'

Captain, if he's a spy, what about my brother's affair? Won't he also be implicated, and the supplies confiscated?

Lü Feng knew Luo Song's older brother was a petty person, a merchant, selfish, only thinking of swallowing Luo Song's supplies.

He sneered and said:

Rest assured, he's a spy, so Luo Song definitely can't escape involvement; however, the Luo family's supplies can be yours, and from now on just follow my orders.

Keeping Luo Song's older brother around is still useful; he wants to drive the entire Luo family out of the Special Zone, leaving them with nothing!

Ye Heng never expected that just a few words would get him an audience with the Special Zone chief.

At that time, Chen Yu was checking this year's planting situation.

The yield of vegetables and grain still wouldn't rise; planting methods were limited, seed quality poor, so the harvest naturally wouldn't be good.

In the midst of his frustration, someone came to report that the defense team had captured a civilian spy.

Chen Yu was greatly shocked; the Special Zone is under strict supervision, civilians without a magnetic card basically couldn't get in.

However, there is such a person; he was granted a special magnetic card allowing him to come and go.

However, I heard that Ye Heng has recently been busy building his shelter, and hasn't been around for a long time.

Coincidentally, my daughter's medicine is also about to run out, and the medical team still hasn't been able to produce a substitute.

Chen Yu thought it over and realized he also needed to contact Ye Heng promptly.

So he told the subordinate who came to report:

Let Luo Song bring the person in; I happen to have a matter for him to handle.

The reporter heard this and was stunned.

Special Zone chief, Captain Luo was seriously injured not long ago, likely on the verge of death; now the defense team captain is Lü Feng, and Luo Song has stepped down.

What? Chen Yu exclaimed in shock; Luo Song was injured, the captaincy changed hands, and he actually knew nothing about it!

Special Zone chief, you're busy with affairs; such a post transfer and reassignment you naturally wouldn't know about—Captain Luo Song, not long ago, went out and was ambushed; when rescued back, he had already lost half his life; the medical team examined him, the injury was too severe, they could do nothing.

Chen Yu's heart sank heavily.

He and Luo Song are superior and subordinate, their status differs greatly, originally they had little interaction, but because of Ye Heng they had several dealings.

Ye Heng seems to have a good relationship with Luo Song; now it's troublesome.

"Special Zone Chief, should we let the people outside come in?"

Chen Yu's heart was troubled, but thinking that the people had already been brought over, he couldn't just ignore them, so he waved his hand and said:

"Bring them up."

It is rare for dust civilians to have the ability to evade the Special Zone's city-entry inspection; if they really are spies from somewhere, they certainly need to be thoroughly interrogated.

Nowadays resources are increasingly hard to find; each Special Zone finds it difficult to coexist peacefully, and resource competition is fierce.

If there really are spies sneaking in, we certainly cannot be careless.
