Chapter 12

C12 – Ask!

Chen Dong was the son of Chen Haiyang. Should any misfortune befall him, even Ming Dong would struggle to justify it to Chen Haiyang.

“It’s all true,” Tan Chong affirmed with emphasis.

Ming Dong observed Tan Chong’s demeanor and sensed no deception. He let out a deep sigh and called out to a guard, “Someone, fetch Deputy Chief Ming, please.”

“Right away.” The guard responded and quickly departed.

Tan Chong stood to the side, his composure intact.

Before long, an irate Chen Haiyang arrived. He burst through the door and bellowed at Ming Dong, “What in the world is going on? Why hasn’t my son returned?”

Ming Dong’s brow creased slightly, clearly displeased with Chen Haiyang’s tone, yet he managed to keep his cool and explained, “Chen Dong and his group were overwhelmed by a horde of zombies. It’s likely they’re trapped and can’t break free.”

Ming Dong delivered his explanation with a soft touch, though everyone understood the grim reality: being encircled by a swarm of zombies often meant certain death.

Chen Haiyang was visibly unsatisfied with Ming Dong’s account. His face tensed with anger as he fixed a menacing stare on Tan Chong. “If my son is trapped, how did you manage to return alive?”

Tan Chong had been on the same team as Chen Dong. Having met him before, Chen Haiyang recognized Tan Chong immediately.

After a brief pause, Tan Chong responded, “When we were dispersed by the zombies, it’s possible that Chen Dong and the others weren’t actually surrounded. They might have found safety somewhere and are simply unable to make it back at the moment.”

“Ming Dong, are you trying to protect him?” Chen Haiyang, teeth clenched, his expression growing increasingly fierce.

Ming Dong’s patience had reached its limit. He had held Chen Haiyang in high regard, but he never imagined Chen Haiyang would so blatantly disregard his dignity.

Ming Dong’s standing within the Celestial South Gathering Land was no less than Chen Haiyang’s.

Ming Dong, with a stern expression, said icily, “Vice Leader, you cannot harm Tan Chong until the facts are clear. That’s the law of the Celestial South Gathering Land.”

Chen Haiyang, realizing Ming Dong’s change in attitude, regained his composure.

Indeed, such a regulation existed within the Celestial South Gathering Land. Without evidence, no one was permitted to harm its members.

This immutable rule was established by the leader, Jin Cuoshi.

Even as Vice Leader, Chen Haiyang would not dare to flout this rule.

After all, Jin Cuoshi was a Level 2 Evolver, and Chen Haiyang could not afford to face the repercussions of his wrath.
