The guard commander, upon hearing that the three were from Starfire Town, casually inquired about Ju Qingmeng’s situation.
The incident with Ju Qingmeng three years ago actually caused quite a stir in Chongyi County, becoming a hot topic among many citizens.
Lin Wang casually told the guard commander about Ju Qingmeng’s involvement with Ren Zhong.
Unexpectedly, the guard commander was an old acquaintance of the Fourth Level citizen who had pursued and punished Ju Qingmeng back in the day and immediately contacted him.
This stirred a hornet’s nest.
Back then, attempting to capture Ju Qingmeng had failed. Others would rather abandon their future and go to Starfire Town than succumb, which had already embarrassed that well-connected Fourth Level citizen greatly.
If it hadn’t been for the slight restrictions of internal citizen laws, and later him falling for another woman, Ju Qingmeng wouldn’t have escaped back then.
Upon hearing that the woman who had mercilessly rejected him back then had ended up with a lowly wastelander, even after three years, he still deemed it a great humiliation.
He immediately started making moves and by noon had issued a recall order for Ju Qingmeng to Starfire Town and simultaneously dispatched a small airship carrying two female lackeys straight to Starfire Town.
The role of these two women was, firstly, to check whether Ju Qingmeng had already been defiled by the wastelander and, secondly, to restrain her on the spot and take her back to Chongyi County, giving her no chance to struggle.
The speed of the small airship was much faster than the motorboats of Lin Wang’s team, and by noon, it almost arrived at Starfire Town simultaneously with the recall order.
After Bei Lihui finished speaking, Lin Wang began to express his stance.
"Those two women said your dear manager Ju is still a virgin. Ren Zhong, your acting is indeed good; it’s a waste not to be an actor. At the time, I saw Ju Qingmeng look at you with true affection. But you didn’t touch her, showing you’re not even lustful."
"So, your closeness to Ma Dafu naturally isn’t because of Ma Xiaoling. Using tea gatherings as a reason isn’t enough. You’re actually Ma Dafu’s man, right? Then Yang will want to kill you. The big shots in Chongyi County also signaled us to kill you. And they promised to give me a chance when the time was right. Tell me, will I spare your life?"
Ren Zhong, however, was unbothered by his impending death, only asking, "So how is Manager Ju now?"
Lin Wang shrugged, "Who knows. If you calculate the time, she should be almost at Chongyi County by now."
At that moment, Ren Zhong’s wrist watch lightly vibrated.
In his mind, Ju Qingmeng’s calm voice sounded.
"Ren Zhong, remember to avenge me. You promised."
That was the sound of a gunshot.
What followed was a cacophony of chaos.
Someone shouted that Ju Qingmeng had committed suicide.
Soon, the wearer of the wrist watch was completely dead, and the communication automatically cut off.
There was no need for Lin Wang’s explanation; Ren Zhong already knew the answer.
This was also the butterfly effect he himself had left behind.
If it had been the old Ju Qingmeng, being taken back, she might have complied eventually, or even felt relieved to be returning to Chongyi County.
But because of Ren Zhong, she had returned to her former self, or even became more resilient.
Under oppressive power, she chose the most intense and desperate form of resistance: death.
Ren Zhong squinted his eyes slightly.
He looked up at the sky, gazing towards the direction of Chongyi County as described by businessman Wang Zhaofu.
He thought to himself, I will indeed avenge you.
The small box embedded within the armor on his nape quietly opened.
A sharp needle swiftly shot out, directly striking the junction of his spine and brainstem.
A tenfold dose of a Second Level mental stimulant was injected into his body!
His Brain Reaction Index started at 326.9 and rocketed upwards as if propelled by a rocket!
Ren Zhong chose to embrace death in the wildest manner.
At that side, Lin Wang laughed sardonically: "How about this? I heard you’re a good person; you even selflessly helped a stranger, a young boy. You tried to team up with Ma Dafu to protect this little town. But what good is being a good person? Can you do it? You’re going to die, your team members will die, that boy connected to you will die too. Being a good person, you don’t have what it takes. People like you living are already a mistake! Look at what you’ve done, do you think it’s good? Guess what Ju Qingmeng will encounter once she’s back in Chongyi County? I heard that man has recently learned quite a few perverted tricks..."
Lin Wang knew his speculation might not be accurate; Ren Zhong had too many mysteries surrounding him.
But he just needed a fabricated reason to convince Yang Bingzhong.
Though he had climbed the ranks, Lin Wang wasn’t planning to separate from Yang Bingzhong’s shelter just yet.
Lin Wang sneered coldly.
He believed he had thoroughly destroyed Ren Zhong’s psyche.
Suddenly, a piercing scream erupted beside Lin Wang.
A powerful information flow pulse spread like ripples, invisible to the naked eye but faintly visible on everyone’s tactical helmets!
The Information Flow Interference Bomb that Ren Zhong had placed in the left front wheel hub of the Qingfeng Heavy Truck had detonated.
He certainly knew the kind of personality Lin Wang had; if he returned to kill him, the most likely means would be waiting by the Qingfeng Heavy Truck with a cat-and-mouse mentality!
The abandoned mine pit where the Qingfeng Heavy Truck was parked was the battlefield he had chosen!
Ren Zhong had already completed all arrangements here!
Furthermore, Lin Wang was extremely concerned about his own power and status, always maintaining his authority.
In Lin Wang’s estate, his room was on the top floor.
This time, for Lin Wang to slaughter the traitor and clean house.
This wasn’t a trivial matter; it was also tied to maintaining his own authority.
Lin Wang’s instinctive thinking would still guide him to the position he was most familiar with.
Ren Zhong deduced by observing the setup of Ma Dafu’s home that, at least in Starfire Town, preference was given to the left!
During the previous meal with Lin Wang at Delicious Fresh, he noticed Lin Wang seated at the inner left-hand side position.
So the best spot to detonate this 20,000 worth Fifth Level special bomb was not on Ren Zhong himself, but on the left front wheel hub of the Qingfeng Heavy Truck!
Lin Wang was closest to the detonation point!
Ren Zhong’s flawless strategy, bold yet meticulous, wasn’t just talk.
This was his first attempt to accurately predict and prepare everything in advance without relying on the Power of Time Spiral.
He was attempting to achieve perhaps an unprecedented feat on Source Star: to directly kill a Fourth Level professional as a Second Level individual!
