Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3938: Chapter 3938: It’s Only a Matter of Time Before He Is Dealt With

The illegal zone is destined to be restless tonight.

Lu Zhi personally took action to minimize the commotion.

Initially, not many people noticed tonight’s unusual activity, but Jian Jin specially investigated the Red Alliance headquarters after receiving a call from Tattoo Arm... As a result, the information was leaked.

By the time it was close to dawn, many major forces in the illegal zone had already received the news.

Quite a few big shots were already asleep, only to be awakened by this urgent news, and gathered their main members for a night meeting with panda eyes.

”I heard Tian Chen is in conflict with the Red Alliance? Why would Lu Zhi quarrel with Zhui Guang? Aren’t these two always on good terms?”

”No idea.”

The others exchanged glances, also quickly changing clothes upon receiving the news and hurried over.

Someone frowned and suggested, ”Could it be that there’s some resource we don’t know about that fell into the illegal zone, and they’re fighting over it?”

This theory isn’t impossible.

The others furrowed their brows and pondered.

But the information they have is too limited.

Besides knowing Lu Zhi led his men to surround the Red Alliance headquarters, all news is now under lockdown. They are clueless about what is happening inside!

”If only we could sneak one or two of our people in!” someone slapped the table and sighed.

Most people were rational and quickly shook their heads to stop: ”No, let Tian Chen and the Red Alliance fight, we should just watch the fun from the side. Which of these two is someone we can afford to provoke? Sending people in to gather information recklessly, if caught by Lu Zhi... We all know his methods, he’s a superficially kind but ruthless figure, doesn’t blink when he makes his move.”

Everyone present remembered the methods Lu Zhi used in the illegal zone over the years, one by one, their backs tensed with fear, no longer fantasizing about sending someone to gather intel.

...

Meanwhile.

The manor where Nie Qingru resides was brightly lit, as bright as daylight.

Shadow took all the personnel they brought from the reclusive family to cooperate with Lu Zhi. Only patrolling mercenaries and secret guards dedicated to Nie Qingru’s safety remained in the manor.

Because Qiao Nian is still in the north, the manor’s defenses are extremely weak right now, arguably the least protected time around Nie Qingru during this period.

Everyone focused their attention within a hundred miles outside the Red Alliance headquarters, very few paid attention to the reclusive family empress who stirred up waves upon landing in the illegal zone.

Even Nie Qingru herself paid little attention to the surrounding environment, focusing all her energy on the cooperation with Lu Zhi.

Shadow kept her updated via video reports.

”...Jian Jin and others have come out. Including Guan Yan from the Red Alliance, their cooperation is very poor, but Lu Zhi won’t allow any action!”

”If he doesn’t allow it, then just leave them. Our only target is Ye Wangchuan, the others are small fries, we can deal with them anytime once we have the chance.”

Nie Qingru adjusted the scarf at her collar, elegantly sitting in front of the projector. She bent down to take a sip of the tea brewed by the servant on the table, her demeanor aristocratic and graceful as she lightly placed the cup down, raising her eyes to look at the man in the video, her gaze sharp.

”Lu Zhi’s people haven’t taken Ye Wangchuan down?”

”Not yet.”

Nie Qingru seemed to recall something, slightly impatient and chuckled lightly, ”What a joke, for someone claiming to be the Crowned King of the illegal zone, yet he can’t handle an outsider effectively after so long.”

Shadow understood what Nie Qingru wanted to hear: ”...Empress, he has only one person left. It’s only a matter of time before we resolve him.”
