Chapter 225 - 225 215 Zhong Ling'er's Plan Part 2

225: Chapter 215: Zhong Ling’er’s Plan Part 2 225: Chapter 215: Zhong Ling’er’s Plan Part 2 Zou Baicheng was dancing with excitement after drinking the water mixed with the healing powder.

At first, the other seniors thought he was just pretending.

But after Zou Baicheng made a cup of the water for each of them, they all started dancing excitedly too.

“I never thought,” one exclaimed, “that the new Chairman’s casually written prescription would be so effective!”

“Indeed, I thought it was just a wild guess, but who could have imagined its effects would be this remarkable!

If we drink this regularly, our entire Martial Arts Association’s physique will undergo a massive enhancement!”

“As long as our physique improves, in the long run, our Jiangbei will surely produce a few geniuses.

Then, we won’t have to endure the ridicule of other provinces’ Martial Arts Associations anymore!”

“The new Chairman truly is a gift from the heavens to us!”

…

While they were all praising the new Chairman’s brilliance, people from the Censorate Department arrived at the scene.

“There is a man named Lu Chuan currently under suspicion for the murder of your Chairman Zhu Cheng’an.

We need you to come back with us to testify, please come with me,” they requested.

…

Inside the prison.

Lu Chuan was sitting on the ground, contemplating how to survive this crisis.

At that moment, a few people approached him and said, “Lu Chuan, the Most Honorable Zhong has ordered us to bring you.”

Lu Chuan sighed.

Faced with the situation, he could only fight adversity with whatever came his way.

He stood up and followed the men out of there.

Soon, Lu Chuan was brought into a room that resembled an interrogation chamber.

Chiang Feng and Zhong Ling’er were already waiting.

Besides them, an old man with a cold and stern face that didn’t indulge in smiles was sitting at the table ahead.

This man was none other than Zhong Ling’er’s grandfather, the Most Honorable Zhong Tianyuan of the Jiangbei Censorate Department.

The moment Lu Chuan saw Zhong Tianyuan, he felt the piercing intensity of the other’s presence.

This was a Profound Realm skillful expert!

Staring at Lu Chuan, Zhong Tianyuan asked, “Are you Lu Chuan?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “That’s me.”

Pointing at Chiang Feng, Zhong Tianyuan continued, “She accuses you of senselessly murdering her husband, Zhu Cheng’an.

Do you admit to this crime?”

Lu Chuan immediately replied, “My match with Zhu Cheng’an was a fair fight.

Moreover, today was the day for the change of chairmanship in the Martial Arts Association.

I challenged Zhu Cheng’an, he was bested and died; this is nothing more than a common outcome in a match.

I do not admit to this crime.”

Chiang Feng aggressively retorted, “Nonsense!

You didn’t challenge my husband at all; you deliberately killed him in secret, I witnessed it with my own eyes!”

“Most Honorable Zhong, you must sentence this despicable man to death!”

Most Honorable Zhong knocked on the table and said, “I have already informed the members of the Martial Arts Association.

They will arrive shortly, and we will soon know whether Zhu Cheng’an died from a match or was murdered.”

Feeling uncertain, Chiang Feng leaned towards Zhong Ling’er and whispered, “Miss Zhong, will those from the Martial Arts Association actually speak up for us?”

Full of confidence, Zhong Ling’er replied, “The folks at the Martial Arts Association have little regard for Lu Chuan as the new Chairman.

Especially Zou Baicheng, who’s been the Vice-Chairman for so many years.

Now that he has a chance to be promoted, do you think he’ll miss the opportunity?”

Chiang Feng nodded with a smile and said, “Miss Zhong is truly wise.”

Zhong Ling’er looked at Lu Chuan with schadenfreude, a gleeful smile on her face.

It wasn’t long before Zou Baicheng and others arrived at the Censorate Department, and they were taken into the interrogation room.

Upon seeing these people, Zhong Ling’er flashed a smile at Lu Chuan and said, “You’re done for!”

Chiang Feng, too, was visibly excited and said, “Lu Chuan, you look down on me, and now, you’re getting your comeuppance!”

But as soon as Zou Baicheng and the others came in, they hurriedly asked, “Most Honorable Zhong, why has the Censorate Department arrested our new Chairman?”

Zhong Tianyuan replied indifferently, “Someone accused this Lu Chuan of killing your Chairman Zhu Cheng’an.

Isn’t that the case?”

Zou Baicheng hurriedly said, “Zhu Cheng’an indeed died at the hands of Lu Chuan, but it was just a normal bout.

Today is the day for the change of chairmanship, and anyone with the desire can challenge Zhu Cheng’an.

It’s normal for Zhu, lacking strength, to die.

Such is the rule known in the martial arts world.

Now that Lu Chuan has become the new Chairman of the Martial Arts Association, why are you detaining him?”

On hearing this, Chiang Feng was dumbfounded, turning his head to question Zhong Ling’er with an inquisitive expression, “Didn’t you say that the people from the Martial Arts Association would speak up for us?”

Zhong Ling’er hadn’t expected Zou Baicheng to immediately confirm Lu Chuan’s innocence, which was nothing like what she had envisioned.

She quickly said to Zou Baicheng, “Have you thought carefully before you speak?

If Lu Chuan’s guilt is confirmed, the chairmanship could be yours!”

Zou Baicheng said with righteous indignation, “Lu Chuan is more suited for the chairmanship than I.

How could I possibly defame him just for my own selfish desires!”

Zhong Ling’er was dumbstruck, “Didn’t all of you in the Martial Arts Association have a low opinion of him as chairman?

Why has your attitude changed so suddenly?”

Zou Baicheng replied, “Who told you we had a low opinion of him?

Just one small prescription from him has brought endless hope to our association.

Such a good chairman is a once-in-a-century find; we couldn’t be happier.

If you really want to charge him with a crime, then you’ll have to arrest every member of the Martial Arts Association!”

At a loss for words, Zhong Ling’er turned and glanced at Lu Chuan, unable to believe how quickly his reputation had reversed within the Martial Arts Association.

Lu Chuan was also taken aback, but upon hearing Zou Baicheng mention the prescription, he realized what was going on and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Good thing I left behind a prescription before I left, otherwise Zhong Ling’er, that wretched girl, would have succeeded today.”

After hearing Zou Baicheng’s words, Zhong Tianyuan thoughtfully nodded, “It seems this Jiang Feng issue is a fabrication aimed at slandering Lu Chuan.”

He turned his head to look at Chiang Feng and commanded, “Bring me that woman who distorts the truth and frames others!”

Chiang Feng’s complexion changed, “I am wronged!

Miss Zhong, please save me!”

Zhong Ling’er’s face turned extremely dark, and with no inclination to deal with others, she gritted her teeth and said, “It’s your own reckless accusation; how can I save you?”

And so, Chiang Feng was taken away by several members of the Censorate Department and locked up.

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but snicker at the sight of Zhong Ling’er’s frustration, grateful that her grandfather was at least someone who understood reason.

It was then that Zhong Tianyuan suddenly said, “The members of the Martial Arts Association may leave, but Lu Chuan, stay back.”

Lu Chuan was stunned; his innocence had been proven, so why was he being asked to stay?

Zou Baicheng and the others left the interrogation room.

Lu Chuan looked at Zhong Tianyuan and asked, “Most Honorable Zhong, I should be innocent, right?

What is the meaning of keeping me here?”

Zhong Tianyuan stared at Lu Chuan and said coldly, “Indeed, you’re innocent, and I have no right to punish you.

But I am now settling accounts with you in a private capacity.”

“I’ve heard you’ve taken away my granddaughter’s girlfriend, and even touched her behind, is this true?”
