According to Peng Yong's understanding, Zhang Lin killed Chen Junyu, which was an internal conflict within Hope City, especially since the city lord had just canceled the challenge mechanism.
If Zhang Lin is punished, then his captaincy...
Peng Yong is very ambitious. Being the captain of Team 11 is not enough; he also wants to challenge for second place.
If he plans for a while longer, he can then aim for the position of first captain.
Therefore, Peng Yong was very curious about how the city lord would punish Zhang Lin.
Since he was currently by the city lord's side, he decided to ask first.
Upon hearing his son ask this question, Peng Bing, who was standing nearby, also looked at the city lord.
He started to think about it.
If the city lord's punishment of Zhang Lin is not severe, he thought he might persuade the city lord to punish Zhang Lin more severely, preferably to the point that Zhang Lin loses his position as captain.
silence.
The Peng family father and son looked at the city lord, but for some reason, the city lord remained silent for a long time.
The father and son were a little nervous, but also secretly pleased.
What's nerve-wracking is that the city lord remains silent.
What pleased him was that the city lord's silence meant she was very angry, and the angrier she was, the more severe her punishment for Zhang Lin would be.
Neither of them spoke, avoiding offending the city lord, and waited quietly.
And the city lord...
Just as the Peng family father and son had thought, the city lord was now very angry and furious!
However, what angered her was not Zhang Lin killing Chen Junyu.
She also knew Chen Junyu, after all, he was the first expert in Jinyu County and had a reputation before.
But in her eyes, Zhang Lin was no match for the number one expert in Jinyu County.
If Zhang Lin had killed Chen Junyu without distinguishing right from wrong, she might have blamed Zhang Lin.
But according to her intelligence, Chen Junyu actually provoked Zhang Lin first, and was killed afterward.
Therefore, the city lord would not blame Zhang Lin for such a trivial matter as Chen Junyu's death.
What truly angered her was what was happening in her own family...
She is a robot, so she is different from others.
There are surveillance cameras inside the city lord's mansion, and she can view the footage of any corner of the mansion at any time.
It would have been better if Zhang Lin hadn't been mentioned, because as soon as he was, the intelligent auxiliary system in her mind reported that Zhang Lin had come to Hope City to her.
Then, she checked Zhang Lin's current location and saw the live surveillance footage from that room...
That means the city lord is now more than 70% mechanical, practically a robot. Otherwise, she would be absolutely furious!
Now, her small hand and half of her pretty face were trembling with anger, but the rest of her mechanical body remained stable and did not move at all.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Peng family father and son, she was remaining silent.
It's been so long...
The city lord finally responded just as the Peng family father and son were about to ask questions.
She spoke slowly, her tone icy, "I will handle Zhang Lin's matter myself. You don't need to concern yourselves with it. You may leave!"
"yes……"
On the surface, the Peng father and son remained calm, but inwardly they were overjoyed. They respectfully responded and quickly turned to leave.
Once they reached the outside of the city lord's mansion, the father and son exchanged a glance and both smiled.
"Judging from the city lord's attitude, Zhang Lin's killing of Chen Junyu has thoroughly enraged him. The city lord will definitely not let Zhang Lin off easily. Son, you have a chance to take the position of second captain!"
Peng Bing's tone was somewhat agitated.
Peng Yong became even more excited, "We encountered this kind of thing as soon as we arrived in Hope City, with two captain positions vacant in a row. It's as if even God is helping us... Dad, in this life, we will definitely live a glorious life in Hope City!"
“We can’t rush this.” Peng Bing composed himself slightly and said, “First, you should fulfill your duties as the captain of Team 11. Select elites from our ranks and fill your team. Let the city lord see your attitude and ability first… Once he has dealt with Zhang Lin, the captain’s position will become vacant, and he will naturally consider you. At that time, I will put in a good effort…”
“Dad, I understand.” Peng Yong nodded knowingly, then looked expectant. “Then let’s wait and see how the city lord deals with Zhang Lin…”
...
"Zhang Lin!!!"
Inside the city lord's mansion meeting room.
After the Peng family father and son had gone far away, the city lord finally couldn't hold back and slammed his hand on the table, smashing it to pieces.
"Lord of the city, what's wrong?"
Wu Zhihui heard the commotion and ran over, only to be startled.
"Zhang Lin is here, did you know?"
She asked coldly.
“I know…” Wu Zhihui said somewhat nervously, “He said it was too chaotic outside and he wanted to borrow a quiet place in the City Lord’s Mansion. I thought you value him, so borrowing a place was fine…”
"..." The city lord took a deep breath and asked again, "Then do you know that she brought another woman with her?"
“I know…” Wu Zhihui nodded, then asked curiously, “What’s wrong with bringing a woman along…”
After saying that, he suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he murmured in disbelief, "Zhang Lin wouldn't... really? How could he dare?"
"Whether he dared or not, he's already done it!" the city lord roared. "Such a despicable act on my territory..."
She really wants to kill someone right now!
"Wait a moment, I'll kick him out now!" Wu Zhihui was genuinely shocked; he never expected Zhang Lin to be so audacious.
He just killed another captain, Chen Junyu, yesterday, and today he brings a woman to the city lord's mansion to mess around. Does he have a death wish?
"Stop right there!" But the city lord called out to Wu Zhihui.
"What's wrong?" he asked, puzzled.
"I'll go myself!"
The city lord stood up, looked at Wu Zhihui, and said, "Clean up the people around here and don't bother me!" After saying that, she went straight to Zhang Lin's room.
"It's over, the city lord is really angry this time. Captain Zhang... you've been too reckless, you're in big trouble now!" Wu Zhihui shuddered and quickly ran outside to start clearing out the people in the city lord's mansion as instructed by the city lord, to prevent anyone from affecting the city lord.
On the other hand, the city lord did not do as Wu Zhihui had expected, but instead rushed over, grabbed Zhang Lin from the woman, and hung him up to beat him.
After storming over to the vicinity, she slowed down. When she reached the door, her movements became almost silent. She stopped at the door.
Now, the anger has subsided somewhat.
She suddenly realized that going in like this wasn't actually a good choice.
She knew Zhang Lin's temper; if she disturbed his good time, he might not hesitate to fight her if he lost his temper.
Zhang Lin has now obtained the advanced template, so it's uncertain who will win or lose if they really fight...
So she suppressed her anger.
She stopped and stood in front of the door, waiting quietly.
"Wait until you're done!"
"If you don't come out here and give me an explanation, this isn't over!"
