Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2095: Chapter 2095: Light-Year Distance (24)

”They’re after me. If I go out, they won’t attack you.” Wei Shi opened the car door, ready to jump straight out.

Chuzheng pulled him back and pressed him into the seat: ”Don’t make trouble.”

With Chuzheng’s body pressing against him, the young man struggled and said, ”Vice Councillor Liang, I’m telling the truth, they’re after me!”

”How do you know? Did you ask them?” Maybe they’re actually after me!

Wei Shi’s expression hid a fierce anger: ”You are an Alliance Hero, who would dare make a move on you in the street? They have weapons; if I stay, we’ll both die.”

He really hadn’t expected anyone would dare act in such an environment.

He didn’t want her to come to harm.

Thinking of this, the rage in Wei Shi’s eyes surged even more.

Wei Shi struggled fiercely, and helplessly, Chuzheng leaned down and kissed him. When Wei Shi froze, she whispered, ”Stop it, be good.”

Wei Shi seemed immobilized, staring straight at her.

Chuzheng didn’t look at him, but raised her head to glance behind them; the floating car’s weapons were aimed at them.

The next moment, a beam shot towards them from there.

”Miss, please sit tight.”

Before Chen Chuan’s words fell, the floating car suddenly dropped, weightlessness swept through, and Chuzheng hugged the person in her arms tightly: ”It’s okay, don’t be afraid.”

Wei Shi had already come back to his senses, wondering where he ever showed fear.

Bang—

The beam flew past the floating car, hitting the large building next to them, and an explosion of flames shot skyward.

The second attack followed closely.

The other side completely disregarded where they were, intent on blasting them to bits.

Chen Chuan manually controlled the floating car to dodge, but the street was only so wide, with danger in front and behind, where was there to go?

The floating car being hit was only a matter of seconds.

Boom—

Bang—

The floating car crashed to the ground, screams from outside cascaded in, the sudden upheaval causing those outside to flee in panic.

”Chen Chuan!”

”Miss, I’m fine.”

Chuzheng quickly got up, kicked open the car door, and pulled Wei Shi out, Chen Chuan following closely behind.

”Vice Councillor Liang...”

”Shut up.” Chuzheng dragged him to a hidden spot: ”I won’t let you go out alone.”

Wei Shi’s throat felt dry: ”We might both die.”

”We won’t.”

Chuzheng used the glass on the side to observe the positions of the three floating cars outside.

At this point, the people above hadn’t discovered their location and began sweeping indiscriminately along the street.

Explosions rang out continuously.

Chuzheng flicked her wrist, the silver line dropped down and quickly shot upward. Wei Shi heard the thud of heavy objects crashing to the ground the next second.

”Wait here for me.”

Chuzheng pushed Wei Shi slightly backward. Just as he was about to move, a slight pain pricked his arm, followed by the realization that his body was rigid and immobile.

Chuzheng put away the needle-like object, dashed out.

Wei Shi: ”...”

Wei Shi was stuck between taking a breath in or out.

Wei Shi was unsure what Chuzheng had used on him, his body was very rigid, but his mind remained clear.

Unable to move his body, Wei Shi could still flick his eyes to observe the commotion outside via the glass beside him.

Initially, Wei Shi did not spot Chuzheng’s figure, only saw the two hovering floating cars in the air.

They had ceased their attack, now searching for a target.

One of them seemed to spot its target, suddenly moved, and disappeared from Wei Shi’s view the next second.

Wei Shi’s heart tightened.

The noise from over there, each sound seemed magnified infinitely, echoing into Wei Shi’s heart, making his eardrums ache.

How is she doing?

Will she be alright?

Light and shadow flickered across the glass, and amid Wei Shi’s anxiety, he once again saw that familiar figure.

She was standing right there amidst the chaos on the street, looking up at the sky.

Has she gone mad?!

Wei Shi wanted to shout in anger, wanted to rush out, but his body was rigid, so he could only stand frozen like a statue.

Chuzheng slowly stretched out her hand, palm facing up, fingers clenched as if grasping something, and suddenly yanked downward.

The floating car smashed down with no warning.

The beam in mid-air vanished into thin air due to energy destruction.

The gust from the falling floating car swept across, the girl’s clothes snapped loudly in the wind.

Wei Shi couldn’t express the shock in his heart.

She just casually lifted her hand, and the floating car fell; is this something a normal person can do?

The urban inspection team rushed in, surrounding the crime scene.

From the attack to now almost, the time elapsed was merely a few minutes.

Chuzheng’s inspection team’s speed was truly fast.

Chuzheng turned to the hidden spot, injected Wei Shi with an antidote.

With the antidote administered, Wei Shi felt sensation returning to his body.

But his entire body still felt weak, he leaned against the wall behind, moved his stiff tongue: ”What kind of drug is this?”

”It’s a new drug developed by the Legion, I took two doses.” Chuzheng explained in a low voice: ”Don’t worry, it’s been tested, apart from a few hours of weakness, there’s no other side effect.”

[...] You call that taking? It’s clearly swiping!

Go ahead and report me!

[...]

The consequences of Chuzheng’s actions on the street were severe.

Although she hadn’t acted first, Chuzheng was eventually asked to go for a talk.

Inspector Yao came in expressionless, completing the process for Chuzheng.

The Star Era’s rules are maddening, whether you caused trouble, were forced to, or even if you’re the victim, someone has to come to get you.

Inspector Yao smiled and asked: ”Vice Councillor Liang, may I ask why you didn’t call your superior?”

He’s no longer her superior, why should he come to get her!

”You’re familiar.”

”I...”

Inspector Yao bit back his words.

”What’s the deal today? A whole street? You demolished it!” There was racing before, now directly demolishing streets, next time maybe you’ll blow up the Imperial Capital Star?

Chuzheng seriously declared she wouldn’t take the blame: ”It’s not my fault, they acted first.”

Inspector Yao: ”???”

Inspector Yao went to understand the situation. In the end, all he could do was sigh; it was all luck.

”I told you, that Wei Shi carries trouble, look, now you’re in trouble, right?” Older... comrade’s advice ignored, and now you suffer!

”...”

Chuzheng had no real trouble, soon she could leave.

”When can Wei Shi leave?”

”Well...although he’s a victim too, he hasn’t notified anyone to come, so he can’t leave yet.”

”Can I do it?”

”Officer Liang, you’re also involved, so of course...it’s not possible.” Even if your position is high, it’s not possible!

”What about him?” Chuzheng pointed at Inspector Yao.

Inspector Yao: ”???”

”It’s possible...as long as Officer Yao is willing.”

Inspector Yao: ”...”

Not really willing.

But picking up one person is the same as picking two.

Resigned, Inspector Yao went to bail Wei Shi out as well.

Inspector Yao had only seen this person in photos before; seeing him in real life now, Inspector Yao understood why Chuzheng was so attentive to him—he indeed looked like someone who could charm people and nations!
