Chapter 120 She's getting anxious
Upon hearing this, Suicheng's first thought was that Zhong Ling must know that Lü Zhi was not the real Lü Zhi.
A sense of crisis and vigilance immediately arose in my heart.
No wonder she went to such lengths to do all this.
"Well? Now we can talk about this in detail, right?" Zhong Ling said.
"Release them first," the attendant warned. "Since you want to talk to me properly, release them."
Zhong Ling asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that Yang Xie and the others will find out about this? Then the situation of the law enforcement officers will be even more difficult."
"You'll be the one who's scared then," the passenger said firmly.
Zhong Ling's expression darkened when he hit the nail on the head, but she still ordered Yang Xie and Dang Hongyuan to be released. She also invited them in to listen in, wanting to see how long the entourage could remain calm.
Yang Xie and Dang Hongyuan sat down next to the charioteer and casually asked, "What are you talking about?"
“Lv Zhi.” As Sui Cheng uttered Lv Zhi’s name, Yang Xie and Dang Hongyuan exchanged a glance, it seemed they really had come for Lv Zhi.
“There’s still time, so let me tell you about Lawyer’s past identity.” Zhong Ling emphasized the word “past,” her meaning quite clear.
“Lu Zhi’s father was one of the organizers of the New Generation Sect. He died not long after the sect was founded. His men were then placed under the command of Lu Zhi’s half-brother. Lu Zhi was also a hunter in the New Generation Sect. Half a year ago, he received a mission to capture alien species in Xinghai City, but he lost contact with the organization and has not been heard from since. His brother is also looking for him.”
Sui Cheng kept his eyes downcast; only he knew how much of Zhong Ling's words were genuine.
While they remained silent, Yang Xie suddenly asked, "Is it alright to just reveal the truth about the new generation like this?"
"What does it matter?" Zhong Ling spread her hands and said in an indifferent tone, "It's time for the new generation to appear in front of everyone."
Sui Cheng's eyelids twitched. What did she mean by that?
Dang Hongyuan asked in a deep voice, "Are you from Base One or the New Generation?"
Zhong Ling smiled and said, "I am also cooperating with the new generation, and Law Enforcement is the gift I plan to give to them."
“But you might be disappointed.” Yang Xie glanced at his attendant and said, “Lv Zhi most likely won’t go with you.”
“I know.” Zhong Ling looked at Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie curiously and said, “You are all people with power and status in the base. Don’t you ever suspect the purpose of Lu Zhi’s presence in your base?”
Okay, this is another attempt to sow discord.
But it is precisely her insignificant provocation that makes her more likely to arouse suspicion.
However, she was disappointed because all three people present knew Lu Zhi's identity.
If it were someone else, they would probably have arrested the person immediately.
"So I want to make a deal with you. I'll use information from the new generation to exchange for legal advice."
"No change." The attendant resolutely refused her, saying coldly, "I might have to disappoint Captain Zhong, but no one from the Law Enforcement Department will be taken away!"
His aura surged, instantly creating a sense of oppression.
Zhuang Zhong, who was standing behind Zhong Ling, quickly stepped forward and protected her behind him, his eyes, like those of a wild beast, fixed on the attendant.
"Don't get agitated," Dang Hongyuan reassured the passenger.
This was somewhat unexpected.
But who knows, they were putting on a show?
“If there really is a problem with the law enforcement, then we really can’t keep them.” Dang Hongyuan said firmly.
Suppressing his anger, Sui Cheng said, "But we can't hand it over to them either."
“I agree. We can’t hand over the law enforcement team. It would be better to send them to Professor Zhang Jun’s lab for experimental subjects than to give them to them,” Yang Xie said.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling's expression immediately changed. She absolutely could not hand over the law enforcement officer to Zhang Jun.
"The new generation will make some big moves soon. You won't lose out by exchanging information with a lawyer."
She panicked.
Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie exchanged a glance. Since she was in a hurry, then their act hadn't been in vain.
Zhong Ling wanted to use this method to make them hand over the law enforcement because she couldn't beat them.
But she didn't expect that all three of them knew about Lv Zhi's alien identity, making it even less likely that she would succeed.
The three of them then pretended to be clueless, waiting for Zhong Ling to get anxious so they could get more information out of her.
Sui Cheng said sternly, "But didn't Captain Zhong just tell me that the law enforcement officer is no longer the same one? What does that mean?"
Zhong Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly explained, "I was just trying to provoke you. Of course, the law enforcement officer is still himself."
Sui Cheng smiled slightly. Sure enough, Zhong Ling didn't dare to reveal her identity as a law enforcer, which put him at ease.
He glanced at Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie, then left the rest to them.
"What big move?" Dang Hongyuan pressed directly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Zhong Ling's face grew increasingly gloomy. Things had exceeded her expectations, and she had to turn things around.
She took a deep breath and offered, "I want to see the law enforcement officer."
"Captain Sui, I know he's here, and I want to see him."
Zhong Ling thought that only she knew the identity of the law enforcement officer, which might be useful in blackmailing him. If he really cared about the carriage, then the law enforcement officer would have an extra weakness.
But she quickly dismissed that last thought.
In her view, alien species are incapable of feelings like love and affection; she is more inclined to believe that Ritsu's feelings for Suicheng are merely dependence and curiosity.
Sui Cheng frowned, wondering what she was planning. The vines inside her clothes stirred. He paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, you can see him."
Soon, the lawyer came in from outside.
Zhong Ling glanced at him and said to the others, "I'd like to speak with him alone. Please wait outside for a moment."
Yang Xie looked displeased and was about to say something when Dang Hongyuan pulled him out.
As Sui Cheng got up, Lu Zhi walked behind him, leaned down and whispered in his ear as if to kiss him.
"Don't worry, let me handle her."
When he heard what Zhong Ling said outside, he couldn't help but want to hit someone.
Anyone who dares to provoke him and his entourage like this is asking for death!
Lu Zhi casually sat down in the chair he had just sat in, crossed his legs, his deep green eyes filled with coldness, and crossed his arms, saying, "Speak, what did you want to talk to me about?"
Zhong Ling rubbed her fingertips, appearing calm on the surface, but she was actually a little flustered inside.
After all, if they hadn't run fast yesterday, they might have been killed by the law enforcement officers.
Do you have memories of the law enforcement?
Zhong Ling's first question was indeed very straightforward.
Lü Zhi scoffed, "What do you mean by that? Do you think I don't have my own memories? Do you want me to recite an ID number for you?"
"Do you know you've been dead for a long time?" Zhong Ling asked, her eyes scrutinizing her as if confirming something.
Even though I've already made up my mind, I still subconsciously double-check every time, afraid that I might be wrong.
"Are you talking about how I was ambushed by that idiot named Manani in Xinghai City? If Captain Sui hadn't arrived in time, I might really be dead. And..." Lu Zhi sneered, "You're saying my brother is looking for me? Isn't Manani just someone Cecil sent to kill me?"
Zhong Ling was startled. Why did he remember all this?
