Chapter 388: Ye Heng Has Confidence

Lu Feng received the special order and was very excited.

Since taking office, he finally had the chance to see the Special Zone Chief!

"Hmph, even a lowly civilian can see the Special Zone Chief—just enjoy it secretly."

"If you're sensible later, just tell me the full reason you came here, and I might still be able to plead for you and leave you a way out."

Lu Feng escorted Ye Heng inside, his face full of smug satisfaction.

Ye Heng heard this and kept lightly laughing, not responding to him.

Lu Feng thought this civilian was now scared speechless, not daring to speak, and felt even more pleased.

"This civilian surely has a problem; hand him over to claim merit, and Luo Song will certainly be implicated."

"Once Luo Song's family is completely expelled from the 13 Special Zone, his position as Defense Team Captain will be secure and worry-free."

Soon, Ye Heng was escorted to Chen Yu's presence.

At first he kept his head down; Chen Yu couldn't see his face, but his build seemed somewhat familiar.

"Are you the newly appointed Defense Team Captain? How was Luo Song's situation before?"

Although the Special Zone Chief's question made Lu Feng inwardly still at odds with Luo Song, he did not show it.

He sighed and said:

"Reporting to the Special Zone Chief, Captain Luo is seriously injured, likely in a bad state, but his wife was having an affair with this person while he was unconscious—this very person, a civilian who sneaked into the Special Zone with impure motives; Special Zone Chief, please see clearly!"

Lu Feng's words fell, Chen Yu's brows furrowed deeply; just as he was about to speak up and question Ye Heng, Ye Heng looked at him.

Their eyes met, and Chen Yu was greatly startled.

"Ye Heng?!"

Ye Heng gave Chen Yu a bitter smile and bluntly said:

"Special Zone Chief, I was simply coming and going normally to check on Captain Luo's condition, yet I was arbitrarily accused and arrested; some people in the 13 Special Zone, relying on their authority, casually slander others."

"I originally wanted to visit you in person, Special Zone Chief, and also talk about medicine, but it seems you don't welcome me here."

While saying this, Ye Heng's hands were still bound, his body couldn't straighten; he could only bow and strain to raise his head to speak to Chen Yu, yet his gaze was neither humble nor arrogant.

Chen Yu never expected the civilian brought in to be Ye Heng, the lifesaver of his daughter; his mind suddenly rang like a bell.

Upon hearing Ye Heng's meaning, Chen Yu instantly felt a chill down his spine, fearing to offend Ye Heng and lose the holy medicine that saved his daughter; his heart surged, his face flushed, he who usually avoids violence strode a few steps to Lu Feng and kicked him hard.

Lu Feng never imagined that the one coming to receive an award would become the unlucky one; he had no time to react before the Special Zone Chief kicked him square in the face, sending blood streaming from his nose, pain making him roll on the ground.

Before he could even understand what happened, the Special Zone Chief's furious shout came from above.

"Men! Take this fool away, strip him of the Defense Team Captain post, strip his whole family of citizen status, and expel them immediately from the 13 Special Zone!"

Lu Feng was dragged away like a dog, and no one paid attention to his cries.

After doing this, Chen Yu remained uneasy and personally unfastened Ye Heng's handcuffs as an apology.

"Sorry, it's my dereliction of duty that let Ye Heng's brother suffer injustice."

Ye Heng rubbed his wrist, looking calm.

"I'm fine, but Luo Song hasn't been well lately; he suffered serious injuries, lost his Defense Team Captain position, and his wife and children are being bullied by his older brother—do you know all this?"

Chen Yu panicked; as a Special Zone Chief, how could he possibly monitor his subordinates' family affairs?

But Ye Heng and Luo Song are on good terms; he neglected to care for Luo Song, which was indeed wrong.

Chen Yu apologized again and proposed to mobilize the Special Zone's highest medical resources to treat Luo Song.

Ye Heng raised his hand and said:

"No need, I'll handle Luo Song's affairs; after he wakes up, I hope you give him an explanation."

Chen Yu promptly agreed.

"That's certain; his Defense Team Captain position remains his, and I will also heed his opinion, punish his older brother, waive all his future point requirements, and grant him permanent residency in the 13 Special Zone."

Ye Heng nodded upon hearing this; the due compensation must be given, and after Luo Song wakes, let him decide whether to stay or leave.

After this incident, Ye Heng also realized that within these high walls, no one dares guarantee they can forever rest easy.

When in power, life is glorious; but once something goes wrong, such as an injury, life becomes extremely hard.

Inside these high walls, there seems to be even less human warmth, extreme dogma; even if one once had merit, once they are crippled, they instantly fall into a mire, with no sympathy or helping hand.

After Luo Song wakes, perhaps we can try to persuade him to leave this cold, high wall; outside may be dangerous, but at least people are free.

After all this commotion, Chen Yu felt somewhat guilty and uneasy, and after thinking, said:

"Ye Heng's brother, I will definitely give you and Luo Song justice, and will strictly manage these subordinates; you just said you came to the Special Zone to discuss medicine with me, but..."

Before Chen Yu could finish his sentence, Ye Heng interrupted him.

"Special Zone Chief, my brother Luo Song is still waiting for me to go take care of him; let's talk about the rest later."

Ye Heng's words spoken, he turned and left without looking back.

Chen Yu wanted to follow, but feared provoking Ye Heng again, so he could only give up.

Thus, he was quite angry and personally supervised Lu Feng's case; the entire Lu family was expelled from the 13 Special Zone.

As for Luo Song's older brother, Chen Yu also did not let him off.

Once he understood the full story, he immediately ordered the arrest of Luo Song's older brother's family, who had first caused trouble, pending Luo Song's awakening for punishment.

However, Chen Yu soon summoned the medical team that had previously treated Luo Song, from whom he learned Luo Song's true condition.

His chest wound reached the viscera, both legs were shattered fractures, the wound severely infected, and he was beyond recovery.

Chen Yu secretly worried; if Luo Song really died like this, Ye Heng might blame the entire 13 Special Zone.

But after Chen Yu thought it over carefully, he again felt there could be a turnaround.

He had always been curious about Ye Heng's source of supplies; being able to produce that mist-agent holy medicine that cured his daughter, such a person should still have other life-saving medical resources at hand.

If Luo Song can be saved this time, it would show that Ye Heng still possesses other precious holy medicines on him.

Thus, this person must not be offended even more.

At present, whoever holds resources can proclaim themselves king.

What Ye Heng awakened is still the rarest spatial ability; once this ability is bound, resources stored in the space cannot be obtained by others.

If you kill the other party, their resources will also disappear; rather than that, it's better to cooperate deeply, maintain friendly relations without offending.

Ye Heng returned to Luo Song's home, with an escort squad sent by Chen Yu following behind.

After he arrived at Luo Song's residence, he dismissed those people.

"Go tell your Special Zone Chief, I still have plenty of the holy medicines he wants; if you want them, then properly investigate how Luo Song got injured, and who has bullied the Luo Song family during that period, causing them trouble."

The subordinate delivered the message; Chen Yu immediately dispatched people to investigate, not daring to delay.

First, Ye Heng's confidence made him more certain that his resources were abundant.

Second, the internal affairs of Special Zone 13 indeed need to be rectified.

If this continues, the whole special zone will become corrupt, the lives of the upper citizens will be unstable, and causing a riot would be a big problem.
