Chapter 153: Chapter 153: The Last Day Tycoon (18)
 

“It’s them!!”

Chuzheng and Fang Yu had not yet left the night market when the crowd was pushed aside, and a menacing group of people rushed over and surrounded them.

People around them all stepped back.

Onlookers, those who didn’t want trouble…

In any case, the space around them cleared out.

“Brother, it’s these two girls who killed Wang Er.”

The one pointing at them and speaking was clearly the man who had just run away.

Fang Yu obviously hadn’t expected that, in the night market, these people would dare to be so brazen, and her face turned pale with fright.

Chuzheng felt some regret.

She shouldn’t have been lazy just now; she should have taken care of all of them.

Next time, she definitely couldn’t afford to be lazy!

After reflecting on this in her heart, Chuzheng looked at them and said, “It was wrong of me to take out just one…”

[Main mission: Spend a hundred crystal cores within an hour.]

Chuzheng’s apology caught the gang leader off guard.

Seeing a pretty young girl opposite him, he leered at her and said, “It’s good that you know your mistake, but since you killed my brother, as the big brother, if I don’t seek revenge for him, that would be too unbrotherly…”

After cursing at the King’s Account, Chuzheng calmly completed her previous statement, “I should have taken out two.”

Brother: “…”

Chuzheng, pulling the bewildered Fang Yu, retreated backwards, stepping onto an adjacent stall to stand on higher ground.

The brother was clearly shocked by Chuzheng’s words.

It was not until Chuzheng stood firm that he came back to his senses.

The brother, with a stern face, looked up and said, “Quite the bold young lady, refusing the face given to you!”

She wanted face!

It was you who didn’t want face!

Chuzheng took out a crystal core, raising her voice, “If you capture any one of them, you can receive ten crystal cores from me. I suggest you team up to catch one person; the success rate will be higher, and with a fifty-fifty split, you’ll each have five.”

“…”

The whole world fell into an eerie silence.

“Catch them!”

“Don’t let them get away!”

“Crystal cores! Ten crystal cores, grab them!”

Someone from the crowd yelled out first, and then it immediately descended into chaos.

The crowd of onlookers greatly outnumbered them.

Even though they had special abilities, there were countless masters hidden among the crowd of onlookers who didn’t act only because they didn’t want trouble.

But now, the temptation of the crystal cores was a much safer option than hunting zombies outside.

In less than ten minutes, the whole gang was tied up in front of Chuzheng.

Chuzheng stood on the stall, distributing crystal cores to those who had captured someone.

“Despicable!” The brother, stepped on by someone, glared at Chuzheng venomously.

“Hooligan.” Chuzheng replied expressionlessly.

“Shameless.” The brother was livid with rage!

“Sleazy.”

“Insidious.”

“Beast.”

“…” What are you doing? Competing to see who has more vocabulary?

The young girl looked impassive, every move she made was strikingly cool, so why all of a sudden did she seem rather childish and… cute?

The brother was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thick, attempting to get up, he was kicked back down to the ground.

“What are you doing? Haven’t exchanged for your crystal cores yet, keep still!”

“Do you have any idea who I am?! You dare to offend me; I swear I won’t let you get away with this!”

The man who had caught the brother was a tough guy too, kicking the brother until he passed out.

“Young lady, do you want us to catch anyone else for you? We can help!” The enthusiastic crowd who received the crystal cores were very happy.

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Just tell us who to catch!”

Fang Yu stood to one side, watching the group on the ground nervously.

“Does your father have a lot of power?”

A clear voice rang in her ear, and Fang Yu came back to her senses, nodding subconsciously.

“Fine.”

Fang Yu: “???”

What does that mean?

–

Fang Yu had someone contact her father.

Upon hearing that his daughter was in trouble, Father Fang swiftly came with people, and the group was taken away.

Seeing the grim expression on Father Fang’s face, one could guess that their fate wouldn’t be good.

“Dad, I’m sorry.”

It appeared that Father Fang wanted to scold Fang Yu but, seeing the lingering fear in his daughter’s eyes, he sighed, embraced her to comfort her, “It’s fine as long as you’re safe, but you can’t do this again.”

Fang Yu’s eyes reddened as she nodded.

“Oh dad, she’s the one who saved me.” Fang Yu pointed at Chuzheng standing beside her: “She is… um…”

“Chuzheng.”

Fang Yu’s face flushed slightly: “Chuzheng…”

Father Fang expressed his gratitude to Chuzheng and invited her to come back with them.

Fang Yu and Chuzheng lived just a street apart…

It was on the way!

No need to walk back by herself!

Great!

Chuzheng got into the car with a solemn face.

Once the group left, the night market gradually returned to normal.

At this time, in the crowd, the head of the Housing Management Office squinted his eyes, staring at the departing convoy.

“Chief, this woman really treats crystal cores like they’re flowing water.” The person next to the chief was astonished.

They were now suspecting that crystal cores aren’t from zombie brains.

But like stones on the ground, they could be picked up anywhere.

“She just got involved with Minister Fang, this is going to be troublesome,” the chief said in a low tone.

“Should we still keep an eye on her?”

“Where are the people I sent to tail her today?” the chief asked.

The man frowned: “She left, they should be nearby…”

However, looking around, they couldn’t find their people.

The ones sent to follow Chuzheng had vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead. They scoured the whole base, but there was no sign of them.

“Chief…”

“No need to search anymore.” The chief’s face grew dark.

The only possibility for their person’s disappearance was that the other side had found them.

“So…”

“Let’s just wait and see,” the chief said.

The chief initially set his sights on the numerous crystal cores that Chuzheng had, but things didn’t go as planned. The person he sent was first threatened, and then disappeared.

A woman carrying a lot of crystal cores and having space ability, the chief felt he needed a more detailed plan.

However good the chief’s ideas were, he unfortunately received a call from his superiors just two days later.

The chief would normally report to the higher-ups.

But not like today, where all three major leaders of the base were present.

The base had three main leaders, Minister Sun and Minister Fang from the military, and Minister Feng from the remaining ZF.

Their previous positions might have been different, but in the base, they were all called Minister.

The chief inevitably felt anxious.

“Yang Gang.” The speaker was the somewhat chubby Minister Feng, with a serious expression: “We’ve called you here today because there is a matter to discuss.”

“… Minister Feng, what’s the matter?”

“You’ve been managing housing allocation for over two months now, right?”

As soon as this was mentioned, Yang Gang felt even more uneasy, yet he showed no sign of it on the surface: “Yes, that’s right.”

“I’ve heard…” Minister Feng suddenly slammed the table, his eyes wide: “You’ve been lining your own pockets using your position!”

Yang Gang jumped, blurting out: “I haven’t, Minister Feng, who told you that?”

Yang Gang looked towards Minister Sun and Minister Fang to defend himself: “I’ve always allocated housing according to the regulations, someone must be framing me!”

Minister Feng snorted coldly: “Framing you? The evidence is right here, who would frame you?”

Evidence?

Yang Gang stared at Minister Feng as he pulled out an envelope from the drawer and slammed it down in front of him.
