As soon as Li Mengyao pointed out the direction, Wang Zheng immediately controlled the Crimson Cloud and floated over there.
'What do you do when your child is disobedient? They're probably just faking it; a good beating will fix it!'
Wang Zheng was randomly singing advertising slogans from his past life in his mind. He didn't know if he was singing them correctly or not, but they were very fitting for the moment.
Along the way, Wang Zheng was also very considerate of the feelings of the soldiers behind him. When he found that they couldn't keep up with his speed, he would stop and wait for them. He was very thoughtful.
Just over ten minutes later, a large area of upscale villas nestled against the mountains and beside the water appeared before Wang Zheng's eyes.
Under Li Mengyao's command, Wang Zheng descended from the clouds in front of the house with the best location and largest area in the courtyard.
As soon as Wang Zheng and his group of soldiers landed in the other party's yard, a number of security personnel in uniforms immediately emerged from every corner of the villa.
However, after seeing Wang Zheng and the soldiers in military uniforms behind him, they simply stood silently at a distance, cautiously on guard, and did not presumptuously approach.
Then a large group of people poured out of the house, led by a sprightly old man.
Wang Zheng glanced up and saw that the other person had over 8,000 spiritual energy points and over 70 strength attribute points. He knew that this person should be Li Hao and Li Mengyao's grandfather, who was also the highest-level A-grade awakener in the Li family.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mengyao threw herself into the arms of one of the middle-aged women and burst into tears. Wang Zheng also waved his hand and released Li Hao's body.
His casual wave of his hand not only startled everyone in the Li family, but also further convinced the officers behind him that Wang Zheng was no ordinary person.
After everyone had gotten over the novelty of the storage space and saw Li Hao clearly, the Li family members all had strange expressions on their faces.
The middle-aged woman who had been holding Li Mengyao cried out, "My son!" before her vision went black and she collapsed.
Before the other party could speak, Wang Zheng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the old man and said calmly:
"I have been entrusted with this task, and I must be loyal to it. I have brought back the person that Li Hao entrusted to me before his death. Farewell!"
As the crimson cloud beneath Wang Zheng's feet condensed, everyone around turned their gaze toward Old Master Li at the very front.
Seeing that he seemed to be too shocked by the death of his grandson, he stood there in a daze without reacting or trying to stop him.
The Li family's relatives immediately looked at each other in bewilderment.
Given the old man's usual prestige at home, no one dared to say anything more, even if they had their own agendas.
Seeing that the other party was so sensible, Wang Zheng was happy to save himself the trouble and, hovering in mid-air, was about to leave.
Just then, Li Mengyao, whose eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying and whose voice was completely hoarse, suddenly shouted:
"Wang Zheng, wait... Wang Zheng!"
Upon hearing her words, Wang Zheng remained suspended in mid-air without speaking, only frowning as he looked at the girl.
Li Mengyao broke free from her father's hand and threw herself onto her second brother. She then took the side bag from his waist and handed it to Wang Zheng.
"As my second brother said, this is your reward, please be sure to accept it!"
Wang Zheng had only given the girl a ride back because he knew her, and he hadn't really intended to take the reward. But now that Li Mengyao had already brought her over, he figured he might as well accept it.
After Wang Zheng casually took it, he didn't even check it before putting it directly into his storage space.
He nodded silently to Li Mengyao as a greeting, then soared into the sky, pushing the speed of the crimson cloud to its limit. He quickly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon, giving the officers no chance to follow.
The officers who had been following Wang Zheng saw that he left without stopping and did not linger there. After declining the Li family's invitation, they went directly back to the military region to report.
Only then did the group of Li family members start asking questions and making a ruckus.
With the death of a family's designated heir, whether it's the distribution of benefits or the investigation of the incident, they'll probably be busy for quite some time.
Meanwhile, Li Mengyao was telling her mother, who had already woken up, about what she had seen and heard in Baoshan City.
From the attack on Baoshan City by the Demon King to the siege of the city by strange beasts.
From being trapped in the city, to the death of his servants and his escape, to the final moment when his brother was severely injured while protecting him.
From being rescued by the army, to meeting Wang Zheng, to his brother receiving treatment from Wang Zheng and experiencing a final burst of lucidity before asking him to send him back, his story unfolds.
Although her voice was choked with sobs and her account was disjointed and incoherent, she managed to recount the entire incident from beginning to end.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to Li Hao had been listening for a while, and then walked directly to Old Master Li's side and asked:
"Dad, why don't you ask them to stay and inquire about the situation in Baoshan?"
Although Mengyao explained things clearly, she is, after all, just a newly awakened child, and may not be able to see things clearly. Even if it was just to express her gratitude, she should have asked him to stay and inquire further.
Grandpa Li looked up in the direction Wang Zheng had left and sighed deeply. The traces of Wang Zheng's departure had not yet faded in the darkening clouds.
"Keep him? What can he offer to keep him? Not to mention that he carries spatial equipment that we can't even buy, do you even know who that old man on his back is?"
Who is it?
"That's Chu Tianxing from Jingnan, Principal Chu!"
