"Are you wondering how I knew?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.
Tu Li remained silent.
"Do you think I wouldn't investigate the inn first if I discovered that some people were plotting something?" Chen Yang retorted.
Tu Li had no idea that Chen Yang was talking complete nonsense.
The bombs that were planted only after several months of planning were not easy to find.
Instead, Chen Yang discovered Tu Li's problem and observed him for a few days. He then noticed that Tu Li seemed to pay particular attention to a few things, and by following Tu Li's focus, he found a ticking time bomb. The rest was all discovered thanks to Lucky Guy's keen intuition.
"Chen Yang, I lost, I admit it. But I also know that you won't do anything to me. At worst, I'll just go back to my old life. Anyway, my memories will be erased by the micro-world, and I'll still live my life as usual."
Tu Li suddenly burst into laughter: "Chen Yang, I'm a detective, and I can tell that. Although you're not an indecisive person, you're still a good person, a good person who won't do anything to me."
“Come on, revoke my citizenship!” Tu Li shouted.
He had anticipated this possibility when he plotted to seize control of the Microverse. He had tried leaving himself a note so that even if the Microverse erased his memory, he could still learn the truth through the note. However, he was warned by the Microverse as soon as he had this idea.
Then he tried a different approach.
He left himself a sum of money.
After becoming a citizen of the Micro Realm, he has become a completely different person thanks to the Micro Realm's terrifying connections.
Furthermore, when Chen Yang once took out items from the micro-world, he also took a piece of jade of quite good quality, saying that he wanted to make a set of jade artifacts for his elderly mother.
But he didn't, and instead resold it.
That piece of jade was insignificant in the micro-world, but in reality, it was worth millions. Adding to that, he had accumulated two or three million over the past two years in the micro-world.
He had a backup plan. He wouldn't reveal the existence of the micro-world, but he could still increase the money in his bank account. Even if his memory was erased, he wouldn't care, since he could live a wealthy life afterward anyway.
"Tu Li, you seem to be dreaming," Chen Yang said.
“You’re right about one thing. I won’t kill you or cripple you, but you won’t be able to enjoy the benefits that the Micro Realm brings.”
Chen Yang smiled, then turned to Guo Zifeng and said, "Brother Guo, do me a favor. After his memories of Tu Li disappear, find a way to bankrupt him and restore him to his economic level before he came into contact with the Micro World, or even worse."
Guo Zifeng knew that Chen Yang was giving him a chance to make amends. He immediately agreed.
“No problem,” Guo Zifeng said.
Tu Li's face turned pale, and only then did he truly feel regret and despair.
If Guo Zifeng were to intervene, it would be too easy to bankrupt him.
After Guo Zifeng became a citizen of the border region, his business flourished, and he was definitely a prominent figure in Hangzhou. It would be incredibly easy to bring him down.
Moreover, after losing his memory, he probably doesn't even know who is messing with him.
If he hadn't planted those time bombs, there would still be room for redemption. But the bombs he bought with connections at great risk have cut off his escape route, and Chen Yang would never allow him to continue being a citizen of the territory.
"Let Yunhu and Xiaoqi come back. I admit it, no need to look for evidence." Tu Li said, his face pale, as if all his strength had been drained, as he sat on the ground.
Chen Yang did not withdraw or send anyone to call Yun Hu and Xiao Qi back; he needed to confirm again in case Tu Li had any other tricks up his sleeve.
Chen Yang looked up at the other residents and said, "There are more than half of the residents here. I'm going to remove Tu Li's resident status now. Does anyone object?"
All the residents remained silent or shook their heads; not a single person objected.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of all the inhabitants of the Xindu camp, Tu Li's body disappeared from the micro-realm.
His physical condition was perhaps the only irreplaceable benefit he brought from the Microverse; the Microverse had made him far more physically fit than before.
However, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. While the micro-world isn't extravagant, it's definitely more precious than a life of luxury.
After experiencing life in the micro-world, who would want to go back to their old life?
Even if they lose their memories and can't recall the micro-world, no one would be willing to give it up.
In the afternoon, Xiaoqi and Yunhu returned.
"Boss, I found it for you! Quick, hurry, get out of the micro-world and check! I also found the record of Tu Li buying time bombs!" Xiao Qi shouted anxiously as soon as he entered the micro-world.
"It's alright, I've already taken care of it," Chen Yang said with a smile, while also giving Yun Hu a subtle nod. He had contacted Yun Hu yesterday and arranged for someone to quietly dispose of the time bomb.
This time bomb isn't like the ones in TV dramas that can't be touched or dismantled; it just has a signal receiving function. It will only restart the countdown when it receives a signal, otherwise it will explode.
Bombs aren't very expensive to manufacture, but getting your hands on them is extremely difficult.
Chen Yang was also startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
Although the Microworld Inn has been completely renovated and safety measures have been added, it's still hard to say whether it can guarantee that others won't be injured in the event of a bomb.
Chen Yang himself is definitely fine. As long as it doesn't explode next to him while he's sleeping, or it's one of those terrifying bombs that sends a mushroom cloud into the sky, he can withstand it.
He now urgently needs to improve his control over the outer realms as quickly as possible. Only when he can bind the souls of his loved ones to the outer realms and give them the ability to be resurrected can he truly feel at ease.
The matter of Tu Li caused a great backlash in the micro-realm, and Chen Yang also demonstrated his methods to all the realm's inhabitants. Not malicious, but decisive and leaving no room for compromise.
“If such a thing happens again, I may have to ban people from the New Territories from entering the territory. I hope you can understand. The safety of me and my family is my top priority.”
Chen Yang later told all the people of the realm that many people approved of him, while some who already had their own opinions chose to remain silent.
Chen Yang is the realm lord, and he could make a decision directly without consulting them, but he still chose to respect their opinions.
Even though Tu Li committed such an unforgivable act, Chen Yang only asked them a question before removing Tu Li's status as a citizen.
Guo Zifeng told everyone about the situation of the map the next day.
Guo Zifeng took over the private detective studio's premises and wouldn't rent it to him anymore. He was completely baffled, then suddenly found several million yuan extra in his account. He was both nervous and overjoyed, unaware that Guo Zifeng was the one waiting for him next.
He was just an ordinary private investigator with a few million in savings but no power. He was targeted by a wealthy businessman of Guo Zifeng's caliber, and the outcome was predictable.
While the erasure of Tu Li's memory does have an impact on the Micro Realm, it is mostly a psychological one on the inhabitants.
Previously, Chen Yang treated them all equally, but this time, Chen Yang finally made most of the people of the realm experience the difference between the realm lord and the people of the realm.
