224: Chapter 215 Zhong Ling’er’s Plan_1 224: Chapter 215 Zhong Ling’er’s Plan_1 A commercial street in the provincial capital.

Lu Chuan made his way to a large supermarket not far away.

He estimated that his trip to the Island Country would take quite some time, so he needed to buy some personal items and spare clothes.

Anyway, he had the Demon Suppression Pagoda, so he didn’t need to worry about the burden of carrying too much.

He didn’t ask Suzumiya Ichikazu to follow him; one reason was that this trip to the Island Country was bound to be fraught with many risks, and having Ichikazu along would only become a liability.

Moreover, she was a prime target for capture by the Kitahara aristocratic family, and her appearance in the Island Country would definitely cause many unnecessary troubles, increasing the difficulty of acquiring the dragon vein.

Another reason was that Mu Nanqing had fallen into a deep sleep, and it would be more convenient to take care of him with a girl by his side.

So, Lu Chuan told Suzumiya Ichikazu to stay put in the medical hall and wait for his news.

Just as Lu Chuan was walking toward the supermarket, a group of people dressed in Censorate Department uniforms suddenly ran over and surrounded him.

Lu Chuan was puzzled and asked, “What are you doing?”

The leader presented an arrest warrant to Lu Chuan and said, “Lu Chuan, you are suspected of killing Zhu Cheng’an, the Chairman of the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association.

We are arresting you according to the law.

Please come with us!”

Lu Chuan’s brows furrowed instantly, and he said, “My fight with Zhu Cheng’an was a fair martial contest.

His death at my hands was due to his inferior skill.

What right do you have to arrest me?”

The leader’s face was cold as he replied, “We are simply following orders to arrest someone.

Please cooperate.”

Subsequently, two people came over and grabbed Lu Chuan’s arms.

Lu Chuan wanted to resist, but considering these were people from the Censorate Department, and that if he fought back, he would be guilty even if he was innocent, so he held back.

All he wanted now was to figure out why the Censorate Department was coming after him.

Could it be that Chiang Feng had gone to the Censorate Department to report him?

The Censorate Department officers took Lu Chuan to the Jiangbei Province Censorate Department and locked him up in a prison cell.

At that moment, Chiang Feng appeared in front of him with a cold smile on her face, “Lu Chuan, you didn’t expect this, did you?

You were just appointed chairman this morning, and by the afternoon, you’ve been thrown into prison.

Fate really is fascinating, isn’t it?”

Lu Chuan’s face was filled with rage, “It really is you, you despicable woman!”

Chiang Feng let out a cold snort and said, “It’s your own fault for not recognizing a good opportunity.

If you had agreed to take in my daughter and me, how could you have ended up facing imprisonment?”

Lu Chuan felt like slapping the woman, but then it dawned on him that the people from the Martial Arts Association had witnessed his match with Zhu Cheng’an, so the Censorate Department wouldn’t have come to arrest him just because of Chiang Feng’s accusation.

There had to be someone else behind the scenes stirring up the pot.

Narrowing his eyes at Chiang Feng, he asked, “There must be someone else behind you pushing this matter forward, right?

Who is it?”

A light laughter sounded at that moment: “You are quite clever to know she couldn’t have managed this on her own.”

Lu Chuan turned his head to look, only to find that the newcomer was Han Qingci’s ex-girlfriend, the one whose butt he had touched—Zhong Ling’er!

Seeing Zhong Ling’er arrive, Chiang Feng bowed respectfully, “Miss Zhong.”

Zhong Ling’er waved her hand, “You’re not needed here anymore, get lost.”

“Yes, yes…

please make sure to deal with Lu Chuan thoroughly, Miss Zhong.

It would be best to sentence him to death to appease my heartache!” After saying that, with a smug glance at Lu Chuan, Chiang Feng left.

Lu Chuan, perplexed, looked at Zhong Ling’er and asked, “Was it you who instructed the Censorate Department to arrest me?

Do you have that much clout?”

Zhong Ling’er snorted and said, “My grandfather is the head honcho of the Jiangbei Province Censorate Department, do you think I have the clout?”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, never expecting that Zhong Ling’er would have such a significant background.

He thought for a moment and said, “Even if you’re from a prestigious background, you can’t just abuse your power to arrest people at will.

Many witnessed my fight with Zhu Cheng’an, and he died in the arena.

You have no right to arrest me!”

Zhong Ling’er smiled and said, “You’re right, even my grandfather has to follow the rules.”

“But have you considered, while you did kill Zhu Cheng’an and assumed the role of the new chairman of the Jiangbei Martial Arts Association, it doesn’t necessarily mean the Association’s people are happy with you sitting in that position.”

“I’ve already had someone look into it, and the members of the Martial Arts Association think you, the new chairman, are unreliable.

They’re all complaining about you behind your back.”

“And now that you’ve been arrested, do you think they would pass on the opportunity to overthrow you as the new chairman, thus helping me substantiate your guilt?”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Chuan felt his heart skip a beat.

Zhong Ling’er’s words weren’t false; he knew that the Martial Arts Association’s people were discontent with him as the new chairman, and since he had delegated all responsibilities to Zou Baicheng on his first day, the higher-ups were definitely very dissatisfied.

Given his strength, nobody dared to oppose him being in the position, but if another opportunity arose to take him down, those high-ranking members might just try.

With this thought, Lu Chuan suddenly felt panicked and, with an embarrassed look toward Zhong Ling’er, he spoke with a flattering tone, “Miss Zhong, let’s talk this over…”

Zhong Ling’er let out a cold snort, “You stole my Qingci and even dared to touch my butt, I have nothing to discuss with you.

Just wait for your death sentence!”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly and muttered to himself that he was indeed unlucky.

He hadn’t even made it to the Island Country and now he was facing a potential death sentence; it was more absurd than a joke by the heavens.

“I just hope the head honcho of the Jiangbei Province Censorate Department is as enlightened as Senior Yu.”

…

The Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association.

Zou Baicheng and the other high-ranking officials were visibly overjoyed at that moment.
