Chapter 1148 Searching for an Old Acquaintance



After saying that, Jiang Wenguang pushed the notebook in his hand over.

Lu Yuan picked up the notebook and glanced at the people listed on it.

Looking at these people, Lu Yuan felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.

But I couldn't think of anything right away.

After pondering for a while, he looked at the third person.

Finally, a familiar face appeared in his mind.

"So it's this young man. I know him now."

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan immediately became happy, and Jiang Wenguang, who was standing next to him, also showed a hint of joy on his face.

"Brother Lu, have you discovered something?"

Lu Yuan pointed to the person in the middle.

"This person used to go down the mountain with me to get catalyst ore when we were in District Nine. He almost died the day before yesterday."

But then I saved his life, and I remembered him. I never imagined he was now a supervisor in the army. It seems like talking to him would be effective!

After reading the person's profile, Jiang Wenguang's face lit up with a hint of joy.

“That’s great. Let’s contact this person now and see if he can talk to the warden and get him released.”

Lu Yuan nodded, and then followed Jiang Wenguang toward the military headquarters.

The military headquarters is located in the southwest part of the city, and there are a total of fourteen buildings in this area.

Most of the residents here are military personnel and their families.

Upon reaching a large building in the middle, Lu Yuan and Jiang Wenguang were forced to disembark and undergo Lu Yuan's inspection.

They were only allowed to enter the building after an inspection confirmed that there were no dangerous items.

After entering the building, Lu Yuan and Jiang Wenguang searched for a long time before finally finding the person Lu Yuan was looking for.

It turns out that the person Lu Yuan was looking for was named Zhu Ping.

In the past, in order to make a living in District 9, people had to risk their lives to go into the valley to find catalyst ore.

There were about four hundred people who went with Lu Yuan back then.

These people contracted a severe lung disease, and if it weren't for Lu Yuan, they probably would have died down there long ago.

So Lu Yuan and Jiang Wenguang went to each other's office.

There were two people standing in front of the other party's office.

The two soldiers stood solemnly in front of the door, holding steel guns in their hands.

When they saw Lu Yuan and Jiang Wenguang arrive at the door, the two soldiers immediately pointed their guns at them.

"What are you doing here? This is the Confidential Office. Please leave now!"

After listening, Lu Yuan quickly explained his purpose.

"Wait a minute, I'm here to see your supervisor, Zhu Ping. I once saved his life. My name is Lu Yuan. If your supervisor is here, could you please let him know for me?"

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the two soldiers exchanged a glance.

There seemed to be a slight sense of familiarity with the name Lu Yuan.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, a soldier looked closely at Lu Yuan's face and said with a sudden realization.

"I remember now, Commander Zhu mentioned before that he met a man named Lu Yuan when he was in District Nine. He said that Lu Yuan saved his life and the lives of several other people. Could he be talking about you?"

When Lu Yuan saw the other person, who suddenly started talking about the past, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Yes, it's me. By the way, is your supervisor here? Could I see him? I really need to speak with him urgently!"

The soldier nodded immediately and then gently knocked on the gatehouse door.

After a while, a loud male voice came from inside the room.

"Sometimes what?"

"Manager, a Mr. Lu Yuan wants to see you!"

After hearing the soldier's voice, it seemed as if he hadn't heard clearly, and he asked again.

The soldier had no choice but to answer again.

Before he could finish speaking, the door inside was immediately opened.

The gate opened, and a young man in a gray-green military uniform looked at Lu Yuan and Jiang Wenguang standing outside with a hint of surprise on his face.

He was so excited that his cheeks turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

He looked around, then stepped forward and grabbed Lu Yuan's hands.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, it really is you! I thought I misheard, but it really is you!"

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the other party's reaction.

If the other person recognizes you, it means you've already established a relationship with them.

So he pointed inside and said.

"I'm so sorry, I came to see you today because I need to ask you for help with something. Would you mind if we went inside to talk?"

Zhu Ping nodded in agreement immediately after hearing this.

"No problem. You two go and get me some good tea and bring it in. Also, no one is allowed in my office. If anyone is looking for me, just say I'm not here!"

The soldier nodded immediately, then turned and left.

Lu Yuan and Jiang Wenguang followed the other party into the office.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lu Yuan, the other party finally got down to business.

"Mr. Lu, what brings you here today?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, you wouldn't come to my door unless you needed something. I'm so sorry I only thought of you when something really serious happened!"

The other party waved his hands repeatedly: "It's alright, it's alright. You are my savior. Mr. Lu, please speak freely. As long as it is something I, Zhu Ping, can do for you, I promise I won't even bat an eye!"

"Well, since you put it that way, I won't be coy. Actually, the main reason I came to see you today is to try and get someone out of prison!"

After hearing this, the other person's face showed a hint of difficulty, but he did not refuse directly. Instead, he continued to ask questions.

"Mr. Lu, please tell me, who is this person, and what is your relationship with them? I'd like to know!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan spoke to the other party.

"He is one of my deputy city lords, and our relationship is almost like that of brothers! That is, what you call a comrade-in-arms!"

After listening, Zhu Ping nodded immediately, and then asked Lu Yuan about Zhou Tong's situation. When he heard that Zhou Tong had been arrested for participating in that auction, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Mr. Lu, I'm afraid I can't help you with this!"

Upon hearing the other party's tactful refusal of his request, Lu Yuan's face showed a serious expression.

He knew that the other party didn't mean they didn't want to hold him; they simply didn't have the strength to do so.

"That's right, there are some things about this plant selection conference that our military personnel can't directly handle."

"Because the higher-ups have already given orders that none of our people are allowed to participate in this operation. Anyone found out will be immediately dismissed and investigated. I had no choice!"
