Zhou Ling looked at the growing crowd of onlookers, feeling more and more satisfied with the current situation. Today, he had to give the always arrogant Young Master Chen a deep lesson.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his words became even more irritable.

His whole demeanor grew more arrogant, overbearing, and defiant: “You bastard, you brought a bunch of strange people into the safe base, killed my cousin, and now you’re trying to pin the blame on our Zhou family?

Do you really think everyone is blind?”

“What are you talking about?” Chen Shuhan looked at Zhou Ling spouting nonsense, furious.

“Zhou Jing is my cousin, and you’re actually saying that our Zhou family’s ability team killed her. Don’t you find that laughable?

This Lan City Safe Base is the sanctuary for all of us in Lan City, with sound management, rules, systems, and justice.

It’s not your Chen family’s dictatorship. Without evidence, you’re just slandering people outside like a mad dog!” Zhou Ling spoke with arrogance, his words dripping with disrespect.

However, his words were quite reasonable, clearly striking a chord with many of the onlookers.

Zhou Gang, who had followed behind, watched his son perform with such confidence.

It was the first time he realized that his son was not only not a waste, but also quite smart. With a simple sentence, he had pulled everyone to his side.

“Secretary Liang, go to the Chen family and bring a few of their leaders over. Tell them that our Zhou family also wants to know if this is the Chen family’s stance or Chen Shuhan’s personal decision.”

Since Zhou Ling had already set the tone for the situation today, it had to end with a good result.

From the 909 suite, Nan Muran hadn’t expected that Chen Shuhan would bring more than thirty ability users to deal with her group, only to end up failing to get past Zhou Ling.

They talked about being the chosen ones, but he was just an idiot who couldn’t handle things properly.

“Not bad, this Young Master Zhou is quite smart,” Han Yingting commented, a bit impressed by Zhou Ling’s reaction.

Nan Muran remained silent.

Someone who grew up amidst wealth and power, if you thought of him as a fool, then you were the real fool.

“Do you think I can’t produce evidence of them killing someone?” Chen Shuhan asked, his tone firm.

His confidence came from Jin Tailin.

Jin Tailin was an enigmatic figure. Ever since Chen Shuhan met him, the man seemed capable of everything.

If he could tell Chen Shuhan about Nan Muran, then he surely had a way to produce evidence. If not, Chen Shuhan could even bring him in as a witness.

“Old Qin, take someone to the 909 suite and bring Professor Jin down,” Chen Shuhan ordered calmly.

The group of Nan Muran and her companions, not far away, nearly burst out laughing when they heard Chen Shuhan’s words.

Asking the madman Jin to be a witness for them? This Young Master Chen truly had no shame.

And moreover, Jin was still uncertain whether he was alive or dead. Having him testify? It was laughable.

Zhou Ling looked at Nan Muran and Si Ye, standing among the crowd of onlookers, smiling faintly at him.

He understood that Chen Shuhan could never come up with any evidence.

The person in 909 was probably already gone.

“As long as you bring the relevant evidence, no matter who the murderer is or how strong they are, our Zhou family will fully cooperate with you to capture the culprit.

After all, Zhou Jing is my direct cousin and a member of the base. It is our Zhou family’s responsibility. But what if there is no evidence?

Young Master Chen, how do you plan to deal with this mess?” Zhou Ling spoke with a provocative tone.

Chen Shuhan had always followed the elite path, meticulously trained, a graduate of a top-tier school, calm and composed, noble and elegant. In his memory, Zhou Ling had always been a second-generation rich kid, relying on Zhou family’s power and wealth to act recklessly in the base.

In Chen Shuhan’s eyes, Zhou Ling was a useless person with nothing but family background, so he had never taken him seriously.

But at this moment, this “useless” person stood alone in front of him and more than thirty ability users, still reasoning without retreat, making Chen Shuhan reconsider his opinion.

He had to admit that he had underestimated Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling wasn’t afraid of Chen Shuhan and his people; he trusted Nan Muran and the others behind them, as well as the approaching Jiawu and Shiwu.

After all, Nan Muran was a big shot who could instantly deal with three ability users in Villa No. 5 within a 500-meter radius.

And this big shot was clearly on his side, so Zhou Ling wasn’t nervous in the face of Chen Shuhan.

Chen Shuhan’s surprise was brief. He straightened his suit, adjusted his glasses, and said seriously, “If no evidence is found, Young Master Zhou, then you can decide how you want to handle this.”

“Very well, I’ll hold you to that, Young Master Chen.

Now, I kindly ask you to bring the evidence showing that the ability users of our Zhou family killed my cousin Zhou Jing,” Zhou Ling said confidently. He wasn’t afraid of Chen Shuhan later denying the agreement, especially since there were plenty of onlookers around.

Zhou Gang watched his son with shining eyes, his whole demeanor full of energy. It seemed his usually hopeless son had finally become someone of worth.

The surrounding crowd, hearing Zhou Ling’s words, couldn’t help but frown.

Zhou family’s ability users killing one of their own? That sounded strange no matter how you looked at it.

“Yeah, did Young Master Chen make a mistake?”

“Zhou Jing, isn’t she Professor Zhou’s daughter? She’s also part of the Zhou family!”

“Is Young Master Chen out of his mind?”

“Keep your voice down, don’t get caught. This base is under the control of the Chen family.”

The crowd began to murmur, and the mood clearly shifted. Zhou Ling had made an excellent point and put on a brilliant performance.

At the same time, Zhou Gang’s secretary, Secretary Liang, had already arrived with several elders from the Chen family.

On the way, Secretary Liang had detailed the situation at the hotel to the two key figures from the Chen family.

Chen family’s father and son were enraged and disappointed by their junior’s rudeness.

It was just a woman, and yet, this kind of behavior was completely unacceptable.

More importantly, the Chen family and Zhou family had a vast disparity in status and had close ties with the Ouyang family, even considering a marriage alliance.

If this matter reached the ears of the elders in the Ouyang family, it would definitely cause more trouble.

“Chen Shuhan, what are you doing?” The nearly 80-year-old patriarch of the Chen family entered the hotel lobby, overhearing the discussions from the crowd. Unable to hold his temper, he pointed at his grandson, his face turning red.

At the same time, the Chen family ability user who had gone to invite Jin Hanlin also came downstairs, his expression clearly unpleasant.

He leaned in close to Chen Shuhan and whispered, “Young Master, the 909 suite is in shambles. No one’s there.”
