I didn’t mean to—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. Take a deep breath and calm down... You’re worried that Governor Chen was going to be mad at you, weren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yueyue wanted to say no, but she slowly nodded her head, unable to lie to the old man who had once been her boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s not mad at all. He knows he can’t expect us to catch something so sudden... Go back to your office and take a break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhen didn’t say anything else as he patted her on the shoulder, sending her off as the sounds of a siren came closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor, I had been expecting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What makes you think what you’re doing is a good idea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun confronted Wu Min at his restaurant, he didn’t show any fear in his eyes at all. Instead, his face remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to talk about this in private?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, the entire restaurant was full of people, with waiters and guests turning towards him with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’d better have a good explanation,\" Xiaoyun muttered as he held in his anger, returning his face to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Min slowly got up from his seat, walking deeper into the restaurant as Xiaoyun followed right behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a bit, the two entered the 2nd floor of the restaurant, where a table full of food was already in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single person was in sight, other than Wu Min and a waiter, who quickly came up to pour Xiaoyun a cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the waiter headed downstairs, Xiaoyun finally turned his attention away from the surroundings and back towards the man before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, do you mind explaining yourself, Mr. Wu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor, did I do anything wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrong? You purposely incited a protest, endangering public safety in times when stability is the most urgent government task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is a bunch of unarmed woman voicing their complaint considered dangerous to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden question from Wu Min caught Xiaoyun a little off guard, but he quickly recovered from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was no reason to purposely create trouble when there are legal channels from the government to deal with this kind of stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That newspaper literally came out just today. None of the police stations even received any reports from the victims themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Min didn’t say anything back. Only looking back at him in silence as he watches Xiaoyun lash out with his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could have had those people affected report to the police first. Or even just give me a phone call to let me launch an investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know how dangerous this is? Is this really how you repaid me after I saved you once in the past?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single thing could have gone wrong, and neither of us would have seen the light of day tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that all you wanted to say?\" Wu Min questioned, his face not reacting to Xiaoyun’s threat at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just because you’re Pinli’s father, I can send you to prison right now for treason. Is that what you really wanted?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Min shook his head, picking up the cup of tea as he took a small sip before looking back over to Xiaoyun’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I didn’t bring those women together, will the police really investigate it? Or will it be a toss-out case due to lack of evidence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xiaoyun fell into silence. It was exactly the concern he had while speaking in front of the protestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The police didn’t really have a way to investigate something that could have happened years ago, right at the beginning of the outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the reported cases were most likely ending up as dead-end cases, especially if they are reported by individual victims to the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You aren’t scared your son might be in prison for this? Even if he didn’t do anything himself, he’s still a former high-ranking officer in Zhongxiong’s army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he didn’t do anything to stop the soldiers from acting out like this, I’m more than happy to see my son serving prison time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Min’s answer once again caught Xiaoyun off guard. This time, he was left speechless as he just couldn’t understand his logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Did you really have to do this? What do you want out of this exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Justice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Justice?\" Xiaoyun questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, justice. The things I had witnessed while working under Zhongxiong’s army... They can scar a man for life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn’t interrupt him as he saw the newspaper report himself this morning. The crimes in the newspaper really were disgusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From robbing food to trafficking children to rape, the list goes on as the ’soldiers’ in Hunan had acted with little to no oversight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Wuli’s previous description of them as bandits was not only right, it didn’t go far enough to describe them as straight-up scums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Governor, I think you said yourself the best... If justice is taken away from someone, then that will just make me an accomplice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Min got up from his chair, getting ready to leave, Xiaoyun let out a small sigh before speaking up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit down... What exactly do you want? I mean, besides justice, there has to be something you want out of this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xiaoyun seemed to mysteriously catch Wu Min off guard as he sat back down and remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Justice might make you feel less guilty for the things you had witnessed, but when did guilt force a businessman to act only out of their morals?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I do have a request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wu Min hesitating a little, Xiaoyun decided to add a little more to the bargaining chip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, Wu Min. You’re right. I should have conducted a more thorough search into the men’s past before recruiting them into the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though this really annoys me, you had done absolutely nothing wrong for me to be the one criticizing you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I’m willing to put all of it aside. What do you want from me so you aren’t a little annoying bug on my back again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Governor, you can create things out of thin air.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Wu Min said the sentence out loud, hundreds of thoughts ran through Xiaoyun’s mind before he sat up from the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you want to leave this restaurant? In a coffin or in a basket?\" Xiaoyun coldly questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In one piece, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Min’s face remained calm, Xiaoyun was the first one to crack as he sat back down with his pistol on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know? Did Pinli tell you this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn’t tell me anything. I just noticed how similar the canned food is when you sold a stash of them to Zhongxiong’s army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you told this to anyone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not that I know of... This has only been a theory of mine I kept to myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer made Xiaoyun let out a small sigh of relief inside his head. But still, there was more concern raised in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want me to help you with? Is there anything in particular that you want me to help you create?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Wu Min showed zero hesitation. He reached into his pocket and handed Xiaoyun a prescription bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need more of this drug for someone close to me... I had looked everywhere, and all the hospital had run out of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking inside, three white pills were inside with the outside label description completely scratched off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of drug is this?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Levothyroxine. Meant to be used when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Min hesitated for a second again, but chose to reveal it in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, my daughter does. I had been looking for someone who could make this... Your hospital doesn’t have the knowledge to make it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... How much do you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As much as you can make. It will be even better if you could precisely make it in the same portion—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wu Min could finish his sentence, Xiaoyun had already thrown a whole bag into his arm straight out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There you go... Next time, you don’t have to get my attention by annoying me. I have a phone number you can just call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting a business card on the table, Xiaoyun left the room, leaving Wu Min all alone with the bag in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking inside the bag, he could see twenty orange bottles, all containing exactly three white pills that looked the same as the original.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the scratch mark on the bottle remains the same. It was to the point that he couldn’t tell which bottle was the original.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock still couldn’t make Wu Min believe it. In his mind, he never imagined Xiaoyun could replicate it this easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected some sort of heavy cost associated with it. But Xiaoyun just did it as easily as drinking tea from a cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can really never thank him enough, can’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Min muttered to himself, his mind starting to feel a little guilty for putting Xiaoyun through all the troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>",1587,"2026-06-10T06:59:54.885Z",1,"novelbin.me","650f9796546c98ec0d9c345813e68e819f4b092ed4b4b81439023d4507ee968c","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-800","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-798",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
