Chapter 280 The Conflict Between Ah Chen and Young Master Jing
After completing a series of investigations, the investigators sent by the Central District personally accompanied the Zuo family to the outside of the Central District's majestic city walls in a small manned aircraft specially designed for use by the Central District.
Pan Duole and Achen were both seeing such a magnificent city wall for the first time, and their eyes widened in amazement.
Although Zuo Shan hadn't expected the city walls in the central area to be as tall and sturdy as the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City, which she had visited in her previous life, she had seen them before and wouldn't be like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden.
She only glanced at it a few more times before her mind wandered elsewhere. Now she was more concerned about how her baby's school was doing; sending him to school was her real purpose for coming to the city center.
The investigators presented their entry permits, and the guards at the city gates allowed them to enter. Upon entry, they scanned each person's wristwatch to register their residency status.
As they were being inspected, an impatient child's voice came from behind them: "Hurry up, hurry up, stop dawdling, this young master can't wait!"
A five- or six-year-old boy squeezed into the passageway at the door. He had thick red hair, a chubby face, and a sturdy little body. He had exceptionally round, bright black eyes, a round nose, and a few freckles between his nostrils.
The guard quickly bowed and scraped, his face full of fawning smiles: "Young Master Jing, they are new here, so the procedures are a little complicated. Please wait a moment!"
"New here? Hey! Kid, what's your name?" Young Master Jing pointed his chubby little hand at A-Chen, who looked to be only five or six years old, but because of his chubby appearance, he seemed a bit stronger than A-Chen.
"You're being rude. Why should I tell you my name?" Ah Chen frowned, displeased.
"How dare you not answer my question?" Young Master Jing roared in anger.
"Young Master Jing, please don't be angry. His name is Zuo Chen. I just glanced at his name." Guard B hurriedly came over and said ingratiatingly.
Zuo Shan couldn't help but frown. She usually didn't bother with conflicts between A-Chen and the children in District 48, but she strictly forbade him from hurting the children, otherwise she would punish him severely.
But this is clearly a matter between two children, yet the guard took it upon himself to leak residents' information, which is quite despicable.
She turned to the accompanying investigator and said calmly, "Mr. Mo, is it against regulations for him to arbitrarily disclose residents' information like this?"
"Uh, well, that's against the rules, of course," Mr. Mo said respectfully.
He had thoroughly investigated the background of this Miss Zuo Shan; she was just an ordinary orphan born in District 50.
The first 25 years of her life were quite ordinary, but her luck seemed to have improved starting six years ago.
First, she awakened her speed ability, and then she adopted a 12-year-old orphan named Pandora from District 50. After being adopted by her, the child also awakened his fire ability.
Later, she gave birth to a boy named Zuo Chen. It wasn't until six years later that it was confirmed that the child's biological father was Modi Lan Dun, the heir of the Lan Dun family.
The child's identity was confirmed by the current head of the Lan Dun family, Caesar Lan Dun, who personally signed and sealed the information filled out by the guarantor.
This young master, Zuo Chen, entered the central district as a direct descendant of the Lan Dun family. According to the central district's immigration law, young master Zuo Chen can bring two attendants with him into the central district.
His birth mother, Zuo Shan, followed him as a tutor, while her adopted sister, Pan Duole, followed him as Zuo Chen's personal bodyguard.
Mr. Mo was not surprised by this. The powerful families were unwilling for their sons to marry poor women from remote areas, but the children were still young and could not be separated from their birth mother, so they pretended to be tutors and went to the school to accompany them.
The investigators' task was to ensure that the two attendants had no criminal records and then test whether their abilities reached the fourth level.
After all, the central area has very strict control over the migrant population, and it absolutely does not allow mentally challenged migrants to enter the country unless the migrant has entered into a marriage relationship with a resident of the central area.
However, in the central area, apart from a few old men who might be willing to marry a mentally challenged but young and beautiful outsider, other young men from prominent families who marry a mentally challenged outsider will be ridiculed by everyone.
Although Mr. Mo knew that Young Master Zuo Chen was an illegitimate child, the father of this illegitimate child was none other than the heir of the prestigious Lan Dun family, Mo Di Lan Dun!
This war god-level figure in the central district is young, handsome, and at the peak of the ninth rank. He is still unmarried and has only this one child.
As for the troublemaking young master Jing, although he also comes from the Jing family, one of the four great families in the central district, he is only the young master of a collateral branch. In terms of status, he is definitely not as good as young master Zuo Chen.
However, as an investigator, he had to keep the identities of those being investigated strictly confidential. So even though he knew that this young master Zuo Chen was someone he couldn't afford to offend, he didn't dare to say it outright. He could only hint at it to the city gate guards in this way.
The guard was adept at reading people's expressions, after all, he was just an insignificant, low-level administrator, and most of the people who came and went in this city every day were people he couldn't afford to offend.
Seeing the investigator's respectful attitude towards the new family, he immediately understood that this young master Zuo Chen was someone not to be trifled with.
He hurriedly apologized to Zuo Shan: "I'm sorry, Madam. I was just worried that the two young masters would quarrel, and in my haste I revealed your young master's name. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
"Alright, it's just a name, it's not a big deal, but it does involve personal privacy, so please be more careful next time," Zuo Shan said, waving her hand. She wasn't the type to hold a grudge, and she didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.
She calmed down, but Young Master Jing wouldn't let it go, looking at Zuo Chen with a mocking expression:
"Your name is Zuo Chen? Haha! I've never heard of anyone with the surname Zuo in our central district. I bet you're an illegitimate child, right?"
I noticed you from behind. You look like a country bumpkin who's never seen the world before. This must be your first time in the city center, right?
Let me tell you, my name is Jing Changsheng! The young master of the Jing family is someone an outsider like you, an illegitimate child, shouldn't mess with!
From now on, whenever you see me, you must obediently bow your head and respectfully call me "Young Master," understand?
"How should I be respectful? Why don't you give me a demonstration?" Ah Chen's face was full of curiosity, and he looked like he was humbly asking for advice.
"Hey! You're so stupid, you can't even do this! Here, I'll show you!" Jing Changsheng said with a look of disdain.
Then he turned around, bowed 90 degrees to Ah Chen, and said respectfully and loudly, "Greetings, Young Master!"
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. This looks much more polite. You're a promising young man!" Ah Chen smiled and reached out to pat the chubby boy's head, deliberately ruffling his thick red hair.
"What do you mean? Ah! I know, you were just messing with me! I'll beat you to a pulp!" Young Master Jing finally came to his senses and angrily swung his fist at A-Chen's face.
Achen was prepared. He used his mental energy to condense a rope, looped it around the little fat boy's wrist, and with a thought, pulled him down to the ground, where he fell face-first into the mud.
"Oh my! Young Master Jing, why are you being so polite? You just bowed, and now you're kowtowing?" Ah Chen exclaimed in shock.
"Ouch! I'm bleeding! My tooth fell out! Waaaaaah!" Young Master Jing happened to be losing a baby tooth when he hit the ground and knocked out one of his front teeth.
When the child saw the blood and his own teeth on the ground, he immediately lay down and cried loudly.
Left fan:......
She had always known that her son was mischievous, but this was the first time she had ever seen him bully someone in front of her.
Although this young master Jing certainly deserves a beating, judging from his arrogant manner, he must come from a very wealthy family.
They've only just arrived at the city gate; it wouldn't be good for them to cause trouble already, would it?
She was just thinking about whether to go over and help the chubby boy up, give him some snacks or something to coax him, when she heard two men who looked to be in their early thirties running up behind her, panting.
Upon seeing Young Master Jing's miserable state, one of the fourth-tier metal-type ability users directly unleashed two golden blades at Ah Chen. Although they weren't aimed at any vital points, one was aimed at Ah Chen's earlobe, and the other at his toes.
It seems they want him to bleed a little, but not to cause any serious injury.
Even so, Zuo Shan couldn't help but be furious: It's just a child's squabble, and two adults just stepped in and hit another child so hard without even asking what happened. It's just too much!
Ah Chen hadn't expected this adult who had suddenly appeared to attack him, so he was naturally caught off guard.
However, the fathead fish that was perched around his neck pretending to be a pendant sensed the power fluctuations, instantly enlarged its body, and used its tail to swat away the two golden blades.
Then it flapped its wings and rammed into the man like a rocket launcher.
