After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

That's all for Chapter 228.

Back at the Southwest Base, Nan Zhu'er was sobbing and telling her father about her grievances.

"Daddy, my face, what am I going to do about my face?"

You know, she's always been proud of her looks. What if her face gets scarred? She doesn't want to become an ugly monster!

Nanbo glared at her impatiently, "What's a little wound like this? Dad will find you a superhuman to treat it in a bit, and it won't leave a scar."

"Really?" Namjoo asked, sobbing.

"Don't worry, you're my daughter, would I lie to you? But honey, your face can't heal so quickly!" Nanbo looked at the wound on his daughter's face and came up with an idea.

"Dad, I absolutely can't have a scar on my face!"

"Old Li, your base's people injured my precious daughter. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?" Nanbo began demanding an explanation from the Central Plains Base.

"Chief Nan, don't be in such a hurry. We can't just listen to your side's word on this matter. Let's investigate thoroughly before we talk about it!" Old Li began to evade the question.

“Investigate? What’s there to investigate! My daughter’s face is injured, that’s a fact!” Nanbo disagreed with this statement.

“I know your precious daughter is injured, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was done by people from our base.”

Old Li's simple words made Nanbo's heart leap into his throat.

He had the store's surveillance cameras damaged; the Central Plains base probably doesn't have any evidence of that.

"Hmph, it was clearly Wu Mingyue from your base who injured my daughter, how can you say it wasn't someone from your base who did it?"

"No rush, Chief Nan, let's wait until we've investigated this thoroughly before making any decisions."

No matter how much pressure Nanbo exerted, the Zhongyuan base insisted on conducting a thorough investigation before making any further statements.

Wu Mingyue was also called over by her superiors. "Little Wu, you really didn't hit that Nan Zhu'er, did you?"

"Of course, Director. You should know who I am. How could I possibly lay a hand on someone!"

"That's good, that's good." Director Zheng confirmed it again before feeling relieved.

"Director, may I ask what the current situation is?" Wu Mingyue asked unhappily.

“Now that Nan Zhu’er’s father is insisting that you hurt his daughter, sit down, sit down, I know you didn’t.” Director Zheng quickly stopped the furious Wu Mingyue, “Don’t worry, this is just the other side taking this opportunity to suppress us, our base has a countermeasure.”

Wu Mingyue was furious. How could Nan Zhuer slander her like that? If she had known, she would have been better off beating the other party up, just like the rumors said!

"Moon!"

"Lin Feng!"

"Mingyue, are you alright?" Lin Feng rushed to the director's office after hearing that Wu Mingyue had been asked to leave.

"I'm fine! Lin Feng, I didn't hit her!" Wu Mingyue quickly explained.

"I know, it's okay even if we fight!" Lin Feng held Wu Mingyue's hand tightly.

"Hey, I'm still here!" Director Zheng reminded the young couple that he was still there.

"Director Zheng, can Mingyue leave now?" Lin Feng turned to ask him.

"Let's go, let's go. It's just a formality anyway. Mingyue, don't feel pressured, the base will handle this!"

Director Zheng told Lin Feng to take Wu Mingyue back to calm her nerves, since this was an unexpected disaster.

Then he went to report to his superiors.

"Are you sure it's not our fault?" Old Li confirmed.

"It's confirmed, it has nothing to do with Xiao Wu. Our people are watching. After the two talked, Xiao Wu left. Nan Zhu'er got so angry that she smashed a glass, causing some glass to bounce back and cut her face."

Nanbo really thought he could get away with destroying the surveillance cameras? Heh heh, while their people were watching, they had already copied the footage. They were keeping an eye on them.

Upon hearing this, Old Li burst into laughter, "First they used rumors, and now they're trying to use a self-inflicted injury ruse to scheme against us. It seems that Nanbo is determined to obtain the purification crystal core."

"Hmph, they've got a good plan. They couldn't win them over, so they're trying to frame them." Director Zheng sneered, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Hold your positions for now and see what they do next," Old Li instructed.

Nanbo had been waiting for several days, and the day for formal merger negotiations was almost here, but there was still no response from the Central Plains base.

"Dad, when can you heal my face?!" Nan Zhu'er was extremely anxious. She had a scar on her face and was now too afraid to go out.

"What's the rush? The people at the Central Plains base aren't responding to this at all!" Nanbo was so angry he wanted to smash his cup.

"What about my face? I don't want to have a scarred face anymore, Dad, please find someone with superpowers to help me heal it!" Nan Zhuer pleaded desperately.

Seeing that the Central Plains base was not responding, and knowing that his daughter was still beautiful and useful, Nanbo had no choice but to have a superhuman heal his daughter's face.

On the day of the official merger, "Chief of the South, we meet again!"

"Hmph, Old Li, it's really hard to get a glimpse of you!" Nanbo began to speak sarcastically.

"Ah, we've been busy with the base merger, I'm sure Chief Nan will understand!" Old Li replied with a smile.

"Now that we've met, what's your story about what happened to Elder Li last time? You should give us an explanation!" Nanbo persisted.

"What happened last time? What happened last time? Look at me, I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be."

Seeing that Old Li had just used the amnesia technique, Nanbo held back and said, "It's about my daughter being beaten and disfigured!"

"Oh, how did Miss Nan get disfigured? I haven't heard. I think Miss Nan looks quite beautiful now!" Old Li glanced at Nan Zhu'er standing behind Nan Bo.

"What am I doing..."

"Zhu'er!" Nanbo interrupted his daughter's explanation, "It seems the Central Plains Base doesn't intend to acknowledge it?"

"Admit what? Chief Nan, Miss Nan broke the milk tea cup, and we've already given you a lot of face by not asking for compensation!"

Nanbo instantly understood what Elder Li meant, and his expression changed. How did the Central Plains Base find evidence?

"you!"

"Chief of the South, let's have a proper talk about the base merger!"

"Alright, please, Mr. Li!"

Knowing that the matter was settled, Nanbo immediately adopted a friendly expression.

Wu Mingyue also saw Nan Zhuer's unharmed face. She really wanted to go up and beat her up. Nan Zhuer turned away guiltily, not daring to look Wu Mingyue in the eye.

The people at the base who believed the rumors were stunned when they saw Nan Zhu'er's face. They were told she was injured, but she was clearly fine. It seemed to be a slander. Everyone looked at Wu Mingyue with embarrassment.

Wu Mingyue held her head high and ignored everyone. Only Lin Feng quietly held his partner's hand, indicating that he would always stand by Wu Mingyue's side.
