1460 When the Dog is Bitten (2/2)
”Come with me!” Lu Mingjun gritted his teeth like a tiger ready to pounce.
When he and Zhu Dachang arrived at the mothership's bridge, he said, ”You told me that Chen Zhufeng has already accepted you, right?”
”Yes.”
Zhu Dachang swallowed nervously.
No one knew this but Zhu Dachang could confirm that the missing space jets were Chen Xiaobei's doing!
Zhu Dachang was worried that Lu Mingjun may not let Chen Xiaobei off the hook, and might find out the truth.
”Good. Now that he's accepted you, I want to hear how you plan to take care of this matter?” Lu Mingjun asked.
”Take care of it?” Zhu Dachang looked worried. ”How am I supposed to do that if we don't have any evidence??
”Are you trying to play dumb?” Lu Mingjun gave him a look that could freeze hell over. ”Shouldn't you take a peek into his Spiritual Instrument's storage?”
Zhu Dachang gulped. ”Yes, we should check everyone's storage”
Zhu Dachang was not confident at all.
All 10 of the combat space jets were definitely in Chen Xiaobei's Infinite Space Ring. Once they frisked Chen Xiaobei, the truth would be exposed.
Stealing 10 combat space jets was an executable crime in Northern Wilderness Starfield!
Even Ximen Dingjun would not be able to protect Chen Xiaobei!
Zhu Dachang could feel his stomach do a somersault when he thought of this. He was devastated.
Under Lu Mingjun's pressure, Zhu Dachang dared not deny him. All he could do now was to quickly contact Chen Xiaobei.
But what was the point of doing that?
So that Chen Xiaobei could hide all 10 combat space jets under the bed?
”Mm, it looks like you can be trusted!” Lu Minjun nodded. ”Go tell all of the Lu core family members to lead search teams, and check every passenger's Spiritual Instrument's storage!”
If Zhu Dachang had said no, Lu Mingjun would have grown suspicious.
When Zhu Dachang agreed to do a search, it was proof that he was not on Chen XIiaobei's side, and would increase Lu Mingjun's trust towards Zhu Dachang.
After that, a strict search began.
Chen Xiaobei was, naturally, the first person to be searched.
And Lu Mingjun himself showed up at the scene.
”Hey kid! The alarm went off just now. Why did you stay in your room? Do you know what happened?” Lu Mingjun asked.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”I don't want to know!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. ”I don't like butting into other people's problems. Also, you see me as your enemy. I was afraid that if I left my room, you would have tried to accuse me of something I didn't do!”
”Hmph! Let me tell you, that 10 combat space jets were stolen just now, and you are our biggest suspect!” Lu Mingjun shouted.
”Is your brain missing a piece? I didn't even step out the door. Why am I the suspect?” Chen Xiaobei did not even try to hide the sound of contempt in his voice.
”Whether or not you should be suspected depends on what I find in your storage! You just need to hand over your storage ring, and let me check it!”
”You don't even have any evidence, why should I allow you to search me?”
”Your refusal to hand it over means that you have something to hide! As commander of this mothership, I have the jurisdiction to use force against you!”
”Fine! I'll let you check!” Chen Xiaobei said. ”I'll just pretend that I've been bitten by a dog!”
