Chapter 460: Interrogation
The few of them discussed for a while but didn't reach any conclusion. After the meal, Zhuang Mingxu decided to take Lu Weiyi to the place where the guards were detaining people.
"Dad, Aiyi wants to go out too." Zhuang Aiyi, who felt that it was rare to make requests, immediately came over when he saw the two of them driving.
During this period, the adults in the team were busy with other things, and the two children were either left at the villa or followed Lu Xiao. They went out to play very few times. Even though he knew it was not appropriate, Zhuang Mingxu still couldn't say no.
"Little daddy, Aiyi will be good." Zhuang Aiyi looked at Lu Weiyi eagerly.
"Taotao wants to go too." Taotao has been around for so long that she is no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning. She has the mentality of a child and everyone in the family treats her well. She is very skilled at holding people's arms and acting coquettishly.
Zhuang Mingxu thought for a moment and said, "I will go in and question the parties involved, and you take them to the trading market next door. How about that?"
"Okay." Lu Weiyi didn't want to deal with these things.
In essence, he doesn't care about the nonsense these people talk about. For him, it is enough that he didn't do it and the people around him believe it. He doesn't care what irrelevant people think. This is why he doesn't care about this matter at all.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Zhuang Mingxu touched his hair with amusement, messing up his neatly styled hair, and then tidied it up again with his other hand.
Lu Weiyi just stood there motionless and let him do what he wanted. His wholehearted trust in him made Zhuang Mingxu feel happy and his anger was relieved.
Putting the two children in the back seat, Zhuang Mingxu drove the three of them towards the escort team. On the way, he also chatted about the underground passage contract signed today.
"The construction team has recently been extending its reach westward, crossing the original location of the Dai'an Expressway. It will be able to branch off directly from the main road and connect to several small bases in the surrounding area, which will make it very convenient to connect when the time comes."
"Didn't Tang Bai from the Pingjin Base want to connect to their side first?" On the first day they arrived, Tang Bai learned that the passage connecting Yueban Bay to the Kyoto Base had been completed. The next day, he took people to see it. When he came back, he immediately expressed that he also wanted to give the Pingjin Base a ride.
"That's all done with crystal cores. His power alone is not enough to support such a large amount of funds, and others are only interested in enjoying the results. How can it be so easy?" Zhuang Mingxu once again lamented the wisdom of their original decision to build the base themselves. Although the first few years were very difficult, the benefits are now apparent.
"When I met him this morning, he asked me if I could use an unearthed ability person from their own base to connect the passage between Yueban Bay and Pingjin base. As for the passage to Kyoto base, he can use our passage in the future."
"You agree?"
"I'd think about it," Zhuang Mingxu said hesitantly. "We spent a lot of money on the passage from Kyoto Base to Yueban Bay. It would be a bit of a disadvantage to let them pass through here. However, the earth-type psychics are too powerful nowadays, and there is no effective way to monitor their abilities. The fact that Tang Bai made things clear doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to do something behind the scenes."
"What's the meaning?"
"In fact, people in each base can develop a channel on their own and connect to our main road in an inconspicuous place in the middle. If they don't want to be discovered, they can hide the connection port and open it when in use. We won't be able to find it unless we check it specifically."
As soon as he said this, Lu Weiyi looked at Zhuang Mingxu with pity in his eyes. Before Zhuang Mingxu asked what was wrong, he had already swept his eyes over his head. Regardless of driving rules, he stretched out his hand on his head and pulled down a strand of white hair in front of him.
"You are old."
Zhuang Mingxu looked speechlessly at the hair he held in front of him, then looked back at Lu Weiyi's face, which was obviously several degrees younger after the repair. He was so angry that he couldn't say a word. But Lu Weiyi was not good at reading people's faces, so he added, "It's because of worrying."
"Ha!" Zhuang Mingxu laughed angrily. He parked the car at the gate of the guard team, crossed his arms and looked at the people next to him, "Okay, then I won't worry about it. Go ask Xing Lu what he wants us for?"
Lu Weiyi paused as he got out of the car and said, "We don't have to care what he wants to do."
Seeing that he was not joking, Zhuang Mingxu sighed and said, "The idea that the innocent are innocent only exists as a self-consolation when the lower level cannot refute it. You are not representing an individual now, but the entire base. Your reputation directly affects the reputation of our entire base. If we do nothing about it if someone throws dirty water on us this time, someone will dare to stab us in the back in the future."
Lu Weiyi thought of the one million crystal cores he asked for as compensation and asked, "Are you trying to kill a chicken to scare the monkey?"
"It also needs to teach people a lesson." Zhuang Mingxu's eyes were solemn and sharp.
"Then I'll take them to play?" Lu Weiyi got out of the car quickly, looking as if he was afraid of being left behind, and trotted away holding a child in one hand.
"Captain Zhuang, shall we go in now?" the receptionist asked Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu gritted his teeth in anger as he watched the two figures, one big and two small, running towards the crowd as if they were being chased by dogs. Lu Weiyi, who had already walked far away, turned back under the dim neon lights and made a heart shape at him. Zhuang Mingxu couldn't help but smile.
Although it was not the first time that Zhuang Mingxu felt this kind of vitality in Lu Weiyi, it still made his heart warm.
After watching the three people leave, Zhuang Mingxu restrained his smile and walked towards the guard team's office building. However, when he entered the door and saw the mirror hanging on the wall, he couldn't help but look at the people inside twice.
**
Nowadays, there are no so-called prisons in various bases. Serious crimes will result in direct death, while those with lighter crimes will be released after being punished.
Under normal circumstances, the guards would be responsible for official mediation in cases like Xinglu where no one was killed. However, now that Lu Weiyi was involved and the victim refused to confess, Zhao Qiang gave him face and detained him here on the pretext of an investigation.
Xing Lu was imprisoned in a solitary room, which was simply furnished like the one before the apocalypse, with only a bed and a table.
Xing Lu was sleeping on the bed with his clothes in disarray. When he heard a knock on the door, he looked over with alert eyes.
Zhuang Mingxu sat on a stool and looked at him, "I heard that you had something to ask me."
"Isn't Young Master Lu here?" Xing Lu's voice was hoarse.
"Take the kids out to play." Zhuang Mingxu still remembered how he stood beside Lu Weiyi in the morning and spoke with his eyebrows tilted.
Xing Lu smiled knowingly and said, "I used to think that Young Master Lu was lucky, but now I think you are lucky too."
Zhuang Mingxu raised his eyebrows, "Do you know us?"
"He's the top bachelor in the domestic science and technology community. Who in the circle wouldn't want to get close to him?" Xing Lu said these self-deprecating words, but his eyes were fiercely cold. Seeing that Zhuang Mingxu had no impression of him, he laughed at himself.
Zhuang Mingxu looked at him carefully, thinking of what Lin Mo had said before that he was an actor. His limited knowledge of the entertainment industry reminded him that this seemed to be a fairly famous tough guy on the screen.
The suit thug on the hot search list, a box office guarantee in the circle.
But his appearance at this time was seriously inconsistent with the image on TV.
Xing Lu looked at Zhuang Mingxu, who hadn't changed much in front of him, and seemed to still recall the days of extravagance and decadence in the past. He was a little-known actor, but because he had no background and didn't want to be stepped on by others, he participated in various banquets hosted by bigwigs, hoping to find someone to "rely on".
Zhuang Mingxu was the prey he chose, especially when he knew that the other party had a same-sex lover who had been kept at home for many years. Unfortunately, he had not had contact with the other party for several times, but instead he saw the lover who was protected meticulously.
The ignorant boy is like a clear white rose with dewdrops, who can catch everyone's attention at the banquet even without making a sound. President Zhuang, who has a strong aura and tough methods, speaks softly and feeds the food to his mouth.
While Xing Lu was envious, he gave up the idea of getting involved because the two were so different in appearance that they were not even qualified to be a substitute.
Now, following Ling Shengge here, he once again came with the idea of finding a new backer, but Ling Shengge asked him to cling to the young master from before, while Mr. Zhuang, who had become an ordinary person like him, still controlled a base and was respected as the head of the base.
Everything is fate.
Xing Lu laughed sarcastically and took the initiative to say, "I can prove that the person who knocked me out was not the captain of the land base."
Zhuang Mingxu looked at him leisurely without responding. He did not forget what Zhao Qiang said, that the victim personally pointed out that Lu Weiyi was the one who did it.
"Now that there is no surveillance, no one can prove Young Master Lu's innocence except me." Xing Lu added chips to himself.
"What do you want?"
"I want to go to Yueban Bay with you."
"It's not so easy to get in to the residents of Half Moon Bay these days. What news can you bring?"
"I can identify the person behind this."
Zhuang Mingxu made a gesture of invitation. Xing Lu didn't get a definite reply and was unwilling to inform him of the news in advance, but seeing that Zhuang Mingxu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he finally compromised.
According to what he said, all of this was actually planned by Ling Shengge. The male favorites she kept seemed to be serving her, but in fact they were tools for her to win over various forces in the base. In particular, the other halves of the leaders of some forces were people that the forces could not give up, so some of their beloved little gadgets would be kept by Ling Shengge's side.
In this way, she gradually gained a foothold in the base. The reason why she came to Kyoto with so many ordinary people this time was that she planned to repeat the same trick. The best target was Lu Weiyi.
"She originally planned to seduce Master Lu herself..." Xing Lu thought of how Lu Weiyi carefully wiped Ling Shengge's hand without caring about his face, and how Ling Shengge smiled with her back teeth bitten. He felt indescribably happy in his heart, "Women are useless, so let Qiqi and I take the stage. The reason why we do it in public is to let everyone see it and prepare for the afternoon plan."
"Ling Shengge's original plan was to have Young Master Lu come to the rescue." Who knew that Lu Weiyi was so indifferent in private, and simply pretended not to see it. The stage had been set up and there was no room for error, so the show had to go on, and he came forward to accuse and frame Lu Weiyi.
