Liu Liwen sneered: "You planted spies in Vermilion City? And you want an explanation?"
As he spoke, he suddenly kicked Lian Chuan, knocking him to the ground. Still not satisfied, he drew his sidearm and pointed it at Lian Chuan: "Speak! Who ordered you to steal secrets from our Zhusha City?"
This was almost a rhetorical question. Everyone knew that Lian Chuan was from Xiangcheng. Although he seemed to have some disagreements with Cheng Zhen, given his current status, he was undoubtedly associated with Cheng Zhen. So his words were blatantly saying that Cheng Zhen had instructed him to enter Zhusha City to steal secrets.
Lian Chuan collapsed to the ground, speechless, looking utterly disheveled and far removed from his former dignified and refined self.
The moment he drew his gun, Cheng Zhen teleported to their side, grabbed his wrist firmly, and suddenly twisted it upwards, forcing him to move the gun away. He coldly rebuked, "You have no right to put on airs in front of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he somehow managed to disarm him.
"you!"
Liu Liwen was quite surprised. He didn't expect Cheng Zhen to be so disrespectful and direct, especially since he was representing City Lord Zhang!
This was even more embarrassing than a direct slap in the face: "Cheng Zhen! I came here representing our City Lord Zhang. This person stole our secrets, and you must give an explanation."
"Should we explain?"
Cheng Zhen chuckled coldly and pointed the gun he had just taken from Cheng Zhen's hand directly at Cheng Zhen's thigh.
"Bang."
A bloody hole suddenly appeared on his thigh, exactly in the same spot as on Lian Chuan's thigh.
Liu Liwen and his subordinates were dumbfounded. None of them expected him to take such a direct action. He was completely disregarding Zhusha City!
Liu Liwen was in pain, angry and terrified. His thigh was in excruciating pain. He could feel that the bullet had almost broken his leg bone!
He was forced to kneel on one knee, and his unrestrained hand covered the bloody hole in his leg. His hand was instantly covered in blood, which was salty, fishy, and sticky.
In that instant, he sensed a murderous aura emanating from Cheng Zhen. He had no doubt that if he said anything more, Cheng Zhen would point his gun directly at his head.
He had only just climbed to the position of deputy city lord, and he didn't want to lose his life like this!
Even if he felt humiliated, he could only bow his head at that moment. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely not want to take this job or go through this ordeal.
He finally understood why Jiang Ling had turned the matter away and placed it in his hands. It wasn't to give him a chance to curry favor with Lord Zhang; she had long known that Cheng Zhen was ruthless, cruel, and bloodthirsty! He would take someone's life at the slightest provocation!
Seeing that he was kneeling on one knee with his head down, looking like he had behaved himself, Cheng Zhen used his gun to lift his chin and then asked, "Is Lian Chuan a spy?"
He didn't even want to ask how Lian Chuan was captured; the process wasn't important, all he wanted was the result.
Liu Liwen immediately shook his head: "No, no! We've mistaken you for someone else!"
Cheng Zhen was quite satisfied with this answer. He loosened his grip and released him, twirling the gun in one hand, legs spread apart, one hand behind his back, adopting a disdainful posture, his gaze coldly fixed on him:
"Since you've mistaken me for someone else, then get lost."
Liu Liwen felt as if he had been granted a pardon, as if he had escaped death. He endured the excruciating pain in his leg and quickly stood up, leading his brothers behind him to retreat back to the city.
His henchmen dared not speak out in anger, and in a panic, they quickly followed their boss to retreat into the city. It was too terrifying; escaping was the priority!
However, before they could take two steps, Cheng Zhen suddenly fired another shot at Liu Liwen's feet.
"Ah, I remember now. Since you mistook me for someone else, how do you plan to settle the score for injuring my brother?"
Liu Liwen was utterly stunned. How was he supposed to settle the score?
Damn it, doesn't the bullet you shot me just now count? Wasn't this wound on my body inflicted by you? Even the location is exactly the same! Doesn't that count? How can you be so shameless?!
Yu Fen couldn't help but laugh, secretly cheering in his heart. Who told him he didn't know the boss before?
You have to understand, the boss is the kind of person who is fiercely protective of his own and unwilling to suffer any loss. He injured Lian Chuan, and no matter whose side Lian Chuan is, as long as he goes out and is labeled as Cheng Zhen, the boss will definitely protect him to the end!
As for what's going on inside? That's their own business behind closed doors!
Cheng Zhen shook his wrist with the hand holding the pistol and walked towards him step by step, expressionless, with cold eyes that seemed to be filled with shattered ice.
Liu Liwen had no doubt that if he said the wrong thing, he would lose his life right here today!
To save his own life, he had no choice but to lower his stance: "How should we settle the score?"
"A life for a life, a debt for a debt. You injured my people, so you must pay back what you owe."
As he spoke, he cocked his gun and then asked in a seemingly aloof manner, "So, tell me, are you going to return it, or will you have your men do it?"
He's still...? He's already lost a leg!
Are you trying to cripple him by hitting his other leg?
Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed someone nearby, not caring who they were, and threw them in front of him, his voice trembling as he said, "Him!"
Cheng Zhen chuckled and fired without hesitation, giving the other party no chance to tremble in fear and escape.
This farce ended with Liu Liwen's side losing both legs in the process, a thankless and exhausting ordeal.
They arrived with such a sense of entitlement and arrogance, and left in such a sorry state.
Only when the heavy city gates of Zhusha City fell again did Cheng Zhen walk up to Lian Chuan, look down at him for a long time, and then say to Yu Fen, "Bring him here."
Now that he is the city lord, he naturally has a separate house for handling affairs, which is a newly built small courtyard.
The main house was where he worked, and the room on the left was where he rested.
The right side is currently empty. He was planning to invite Jiang Wan and her two children to come and stay, but he hadn't found an opportunity to bring it up yet.
Because there was an abandoned oxygen storage building materials factory not far away, all the buildings here were constructed using oxygen storage building materials.
In special circumstances, there's no need to build anything too luxurious or high-end; just enough for people to live in.
His apartment was a single-story building, while the city guards' dormitories and ordinary citizens' residential areas were all seven-story buildings without elevators, so they had to endure the hardship of climbing up and down the stairs themselves.
Yu Fen threw the person into the house and then left. He conscientiously stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Cheng Zhen sat down in the chair and gestured to the seat next to him, indicating to Lian Chuan: "Sit down, let's talk. After we've talked, I'll take you to get treatment."
