Chapter 1086 Apology
Upon hearing this, Lu Benwei was startled!
I only found out about this recently, so how did Cheng Kun find out?
"Old Lu, is this true?"
Wei An looked at Lu Benwei with some displeasure.
"Yes, I did, but I just didn't have time to report it to you, Commander."
Lu Benwei quickly explained.
But his explanation was clearly just an excuse.
However, Wei An was too lazy to pursue the matter further. Since things had come to this point, the focus should be on how to deal with Su Chen.
"Chief, I've already sent someone to invite Su Chen."
"Once we get him under control, we can deal with him slowly."
Cheng Kun revealed a sinister smile.
"Alright, let's do it your way."
Wei An nodded slightly.
In any case, he is the chief minister of Suzaku, and everything should be done in the interest of Suzaku.
Lu Benwei, standing to the side, frowned, feeling worried for Su Chen.
Just then, Cheng Kun's communicator suddenly rang.
He picked up the communicator,
"Hello? It's me."
"what?!"
"You...you bunch of useless trash!"
Seeing Cheng Kun's face suddenly turn ashen, Wei An frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, Ah Kun?"
"Just received news that Su Chen, that bastard... injured more than a dozen people, including Wu Zheng, and has already driven away from Xinggang City!"
"What?! Ah Kun, what kind of work are you doing?!"
Wei An's face darkened, and he couldn't help but reprimand him.
Cheng Kun also felt aggrieved.
They sent out dozens of elite troops, yet Su Chen still managed to escape!
Is that bastard really that strong?
"General Manager, please calm down. Yan Liang and the others are still driving, following behind Su Chen."
Cheng Kun hurriedly said,
"I will immediately notify the sentries along the way to stop Su Chen."
"Furthermore, I will immediately send reinforcements to capture Su Chen at all costs!"
Seeing that Cheng Kun was about to leave, Lu Benwei couldn't sit still any longer.
"Chief, think it over! If you really do this, you'll completely break ties with Su Chen!"
"Lu Benwei, whose side are you on, you fucking thing?"
Cheng Kun pointed at Lu Benwei and started cursing.
Lu Benwei ignored Cheng Kun and instead spoke earnestly and patiently.
"Su Chen's strength far exceeds our understanding..."
He told Wei An the parts of their journey to the secret realm that had been kept hidden.
It also describes in detail the intensity of the battle between Su Chen and the Azure Dragon.
"I have assessed Su Chen's strength."
"Unless two-thirds of our elite forces are deployed, there is absolutely no way we can take down Su Chen."
"Even if we eventually take him down, we'll suffer heavy losses!"
"And this also means a complete break with the Watchmen."
"Chief, think it over!"
Cheng Kun scoffed at Lu Benwei's words.
"Chief, don't listen to his nonsense."
"No matter how powerful Su Chen is, he only has two or three people."
"This is a golden opportunity. If we miss it, it won't be so easy to control Su Chen next time!"
"If all else fails, we can always seek help from a Taoist sect!"
As he listened to the argument between the two, Wei An's expression shifted between light and dark.
After a moment, he finally let out a long breath.
"Never mind, I think Lu Benwei makes a lot of sense."
Su Chen did not have any substantial evidence as to whether he had benefited from the secret realm.
Even if it were true, it wouldn't warrant forcing Su Chen to rebel.
"Chief!"
Cheng Kun exclaimed somewhat discontentedly.
"Cheng Kun, this is an order! If you dare to act recklessly again, I will convene a ministerial meeting and dismiss you from your post."
Wei An spoke sternly.
Cheng Kun's face turned extremely gloomy.
"You will regret your decision today!"
He left after saying that, glared fiercely at Lu Benwei, and slammed the door shut.
Wei An looked at Lu Benwei, his expression softening.
"Xiao Lu, I'm leaving this matter to you. Make sure you keep Su Chen calm and don't cause any trouble."
"Please rest assured, Commander!"
Lu Benwei nodded emphatically.
……
Su Chen originally thought that the sentry posts on the outskirts of Xinggang City would stop him.
He was even prepared to go on a killing spree.
However, to his surprise, the guards simply checked his identification and let him pass.
"Brother Su, why are those combat personnel still following us?"
Wang Yan looked in the rearview mirror and muttered something.
"Let them go as they please, as long as they don't follow us."
Su Chen said calmly.
"What if they're waiting for reinforcements?"
Ding Di expressed his concerns and made a decapitation gesture.
"How about we just take them all out?"
"Look again."
Unless absolutely necessary, Su Chen was unwilling to fall out with Zhuque.
Suzaku was already a powerful force, and with the addition of survivor organizations in Ningxi and Kunshan, they were able to achieve their goals.
Their power far surpasses that of the Watchers League.
If a real fight breaks out, the Watchmen will definitely suffer losses.
Moreover, the depth of the Vermilion Bird's resources is something that outsiders can hardly imagine.
When Zhan Wei talked to Su Chen before, he mentioned that many of the Vermilion Bird's techniques and secret manuals were passed down from the sect.
He later hinted that there was another mysterious department within the Vermilion Bird Clan.
The members of these departments are all from those sects.
They were few in number, but each of them was a top expert, whose strength far surpassed that of B-rank.
If it were an outsider, they would definitely scoff at such a statement.
Human evolution only began after the apocalypse.
The most powerful superhumans currently are at most B+ combat strength, so how could there be superhumans above B rank?
However, Su Chen believed it.
If even apocalypses, zombies, and monsters can appear, it's not impossible that there are truly extraordinary individuals who surpass Rank B.
It would be foolish to break ties with Suzaku before understanding its true strength.
This is why Su Chen didn't kill Wu Zheng directly earlier.
"Hey? Brother Su, they've retreated!"
Wang Yan suddenly noticed that Yan Liang and the others behind him had turned their car around and were no longer following Normadison.
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be Minister Lu who has made his move."
Su Chen said softly.
as predicted.
A moment later, Su Chen's communicator rang; it was Lu Benwei calling.
"Xiao Su, I'm so sorry."
As soon as the call connected, Lu Benwei said apologetically,
"Today's events were entirely Wu Zheng's doing, and even Cheng Kun was unaware of them."
Wu Zheng was just a minor leader in the combat department.
Without Cheng Kun's orders, how dare he arrest Su Chen?
This is clearly an attempt to make Wu Zheng take the blame.
"On behalf of Suzaku, I apologize to you for what happened today."
"I hope you won't take it to heart for my sake."
"We will also send another batch of supplies to the Watchers Alliance as compensation!"
It must be said that Lu Benwei's apology was quite sincere, even somewhat servile.
