Chapter 420 - 364: Light God, Satan, the Betrayer, The Last Supper (Part 2)
"All I need to do is follow the justice in my heart and act according to my own judgment and principles."
Upon hearing this, Lai Yu Yao’s eyes lit up like twinkling stars in the night sky.
She yearned for Chu He’s effortless demeanor and immense power,
and she thought to herself,
’If I could be as free and unrestrained as Chu He,’
’perhaps I wouldn’t have to suffer such bullying and humiliation from my family.’
At this thought, a sense of resolve rose within her, and she said solemnly, "Mr. Chu,
"I know you’ve taken an interest in me because of certain qualities I possess.
"But I don’t know if these qualities of mine are worthy of your careful tutelage.
"If you are willing to give me this opportunity,
"I will do my utmost to atone for all my sins,
"and from now on, I will follow by your side and study hard, never slacking off."
Sun Canxing, who was standing to the side, heard this,
and he couldn’t help but curl his lip slightly. ’She’s got some nerve,’ he thought. ’Making such a direct request... I wonder how Chu He will react.’
"No problem."
Chu He agreed, then reached out to the man in the suit for a piece of paper.
His fingers flew as he quickly wrote his contact information on it.
Then he gently placed the slip of paper into Lai Yu Yao’s hand.
His gaze was calm as he said, "You can contact me anytime if you have questions.
"The quality I value in you is your ability to remain rational in the face of danger,
"and your perspective allows you to cut straight to the heart of the matter.
"However, you are still young, after all. At your age,
"you’re bound to have some shortcomings.
"I hope you can work hard to overcome them and eliminate those flaws completely.
"In the future, there will indeed be matters that require someone with your personality to handle.
"As for the grievances you’ve suffered, I have a general idea. Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. I trust you understand what I mean."
"I understand. I will be sure to remember your teachings."
Lai Yu Yao was so excited she could hardly contain herself.
She tightly gripped the piece of paper with Chu He’s contact information in both hands.
It was her precious ticket to a whole new world, and her eyes were filled with longing and anticipation for the future.
"Take him. I need to find a place to interrogate him properly."
Chu He’s expression was cold, his eyes holding an unquestionable authority.
He lifted his finger and pointed at the still-unconscious Palm Head on the ground.
As a Martial Artist, the man in the suit naturally possessed extraordinary strength.
He looked at Palm Head’s strange and pathetic appearance,
and though he found it bizarre, he didn’t say anything.
He just took a step forward
and easily lifted the bloated guy—who was missing both arms and a leg—
like hoisting a helpless sack.
The other young people,
including Lai Yu Yao and Sun Canxing,
would now be sent back to their respective homes under the strict protection of the Defense Team.
Meanwhile, the man in the suit took Palm Head and went with Chu He to the local Haitong City Defense Team.
As the vehicle carrying Chu He and the others slowly approached the Defense Team’s branch office,
the higher-ups of the local Defense Team had already received the news and had almost all gathered.
In front of the brightly lit branch office building,
they were arranged in a long, neat line.
Brightly colored banners had been specially hung on both sides.
The banners were emblazoned with eye-catching words like, "We Warmly Welcome Mr. Chu’s Guidance."
The scene looked quite grand.
These higher-ups had originally been filled with trepidation.
After all, their performance when handling the Xia Shui Village incident had been far from satisfactory,
and they were afraid Chu He would hold it against them.
When they saw Chu He’s vehicle slowly approaching,
they immediately forced themselves to be alert, suppressing all the fear in their hearts.
They plastered bright smiles on their faces and hurried forward to greet him,
lining up on both sides of the road as if they were welcoming a supreme king.
After Chu He got out of the car,
he just gave the grinning higher-ups a passing glance.
His tone was flat yet tinged with detachment. "Go back to whatever you were busy with.
"I have something to handle. Prepare an interrogation room for me."
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, leaving no room for defiance.
"Yes, yes, of course. The interrogation room has already been prepared. It’s ready anytime."
The local Defense Team higher-ups hurriedly nodded and bowed in response.
They had a whole speech of flattery prepared,
thinking they could use this opportunity to properly suck up to Chu He,
but unexpectedly, Chu He didn’t give them the chance, so they could only swallow their words.
The man in the suit had already dragged the still-unconscious Palm Head out of the car.
He then picked him up like a chick and followed behind Chu He.
A female clerk from the Defense Team walked in front to lead the way.
This clerk was young and beautiful, dressed in an elegant professional skirt suit.
She wore high heels, and with every step,
her slender waist swayed gently like a willow branch in the wind, her heels making a crisp sound,
as if playing a unique musical piece.
As she led the way, she would look back from time to time,
her eyes holding a trace of shyness and anticipation,
trying to strike up a conversation with Chu He and even secretly casting flirtatious glances, her demeanor utterly charming.
But unfortunately, Chu He’s expression was grim, his face like a glacier that hadn’t thawed in a thousand years.
He showed no reaction to her various advances.
However, the young and beautiful clerk was not discouraged by this; instead, she became even more infatuated.
