Chapter 982 - Liberated Serfs, Sing (2/2)
The Public Order Division director replied, ”You have full command of the Public Order Division. You can have the men do whatever you want.”
Zhou Yingxue immediately gave a warm smile. ”Alright, I'm also just serving my master. He just killed a lot of people in Luoyang City, and I think your Public Order Division should've watched it, right? Don't try anything funny, or you'll die. Have the Public Order Division retrieve all the surveillance footage of the city streets for me. We're only here to avenge Elder Jiang. After we're done with that, we'll leave.”
With that, Zhou Yingxue left behind two students and 20 Qing Consortium members and turned around to head for the garrison troops' base.
Unexpectedly, the garrison troops did not put up any resistance. Instead, they voluntarily welcomed Zhou Yingxue and the others in.
Zhou Yingxue looked curiously at the Luoyang City garrison commander. ”Aren't you guys gonna resist a little?”
The maid thought to herself, 'I'm not even getting any sense of accomplishment here!'
The Luoyang City garrison commander said with a wry smile, ”The Qinghe Group sent us orders to give our full cooperation. To be honest, we also want to avenge Elder Jiang. If you can find out who did it, that'd be great.”
”Eh?” Zhou Yingxue found it a little strange. As the controller of Luoyang City, the Qinghe Group should be the first to come forward to protect their sovereignty. But from the look of things, why did it seem like the other party had willingly handed over their authority?
”Let's go, we'll head straight to the Qinghe Group's HQ.” Zhou Yingxue did not even step past the gate of the garrison base. She only left behind two students and 20 Qing Consortium members to supervise the garrison troops in locking down the city before heading straight for the Qinghe Group's headquarters.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Qinghe Building, all of the security personnel were already waiting downstairs. Zhou Yingxue glanced at them before walking in and taking the elevator to the top floor.
Xu Zhi was alone in the office on the top floor.
The leader of the Qinghe Group had always been the Rider Xu Ke. But after Xu Ke handed over the leadership to Xu Zhi, Xu Ke went and chased after his dream of being a Rider. It could be said that the current Qinghe Group was now controlled by this former president of the Qinghe University Student Council.
Xu Zhi stood in his office and watched quietly as the maidservant arrived. Now that he saw the lady he had missed so much, he did not know what to say.
Instead, it was Zhou Yingxue who casually sat down on the sofa in the office. ”Where are the Riders of the Qinghe Group? Why did they not even show up after such a big incident?”
Xu Zhi thought for a moment and answered, ”They don't serve the Qinghe Group, so they're free to do whatever they want. When Chief Editor Jiang Xu tragically passed, the Riders were helping the escapees and the Pyro Company's troops retreat from the front line. The battle at the Great Wall was extremely tragic, and several of the Riders were also injured in the evacuation. Later on, when the Riders were organizing the escapees to retreat to the South, they were ambushed by the Experimentals. Fortunately, there weren't any major incidents. They should've received the news and should be heading back.”
Zhou Yingxue said, ”Oh, I see, so they went to help the escapees. I heard you ordered the garrison troops to give us their full cooperation? Why?”
”Because we all want to avenge Mr. Jiang Xu.” Xu Zhi said, ”The Luoyang City garrison troops had gone to support the Northern battlefront and deployed too many of their troops there. Actually, what's left of them here is only an empty shell, so they can't stop you guys anyway.”
Zhou Yingxue nodded. ”Smart, that's really sensible of you. Alright, since you guys are so cooperative, there's no need for me to take any action. You can just sit back while we handle things from here.”
After that, Zhou Yingxue headed downstairs. Xu Zhi hesitated for a long time before suddenly asking, ”Can I talk with you after we find the culprit who killed Mr. Jiang Xu?”
Zhou Yingxue walked into the elevator. She turned around to look at Xu Zhi, who had chased after her and was standing outside the elevator. ”Kid, I'll have to check with my master regarding such matters. But I can't be bothered to ask him since I don't think there's anything to talk to you about. You're too weak.”
When the elevator door closed, Xu Zhi stood outside looking despondent.
