Chapter 1465: I Will Cooperate

"It shouldn't be a big problem!" Dong Xiaowu said. "Thousand Lakes's governor Zheng Xiongfeng and the Lu Family are not in good terms with each other, and Zheng Xiongfeng's son, Zheng Haotian is very grateful towards Mr. Chen for saving his life! There's no way the governor will want to harm Mr. Chen!"

"I know Governor Zheng pretty well." Wenren Muyue nodded. "But what if Lu Mingjun has already cooked something up! What if governor Zheng is being used?"

"You have a point." Miao Yiyue looked worried. "But, we don't know what Lu Mingjun's plan is, and the mothership is on lockdown! There's no way we can go!"

"I'm calling Mr. Chen so that he can be prepared!" Wenren Muyue took out her phone.

After a while.

"No one's picking up! There must be a problem! No, I have to go in and save Mr. Chen!" Wenren Muyue said urgently.

"Muyue! You have to calm down!" Miao Yiyue advised. "Mr. Chen is so much stronger than all of us here! If there's a problem, he will have no problem solving it! Even if he couldn't, and I'm just saying an if, what's the point of going in there?"

Wenren Muyue looked exhausted with worry.

But like Miao Yiyue said, if Chen Xiaobei could not solve whatever problem it was, they would not be able to do anything to help even if they went in. In fact, Chen Xiaobei might even have to save them again instead.

"Muyue! You were the one who believed in Mr. Chen the most! Are you telling us that you don't trust him this time?" Miao Yiyue asked.

"Yes, you're right! We have to trust Mr. Chen!" Wenren Muyue nodded. "He can do it! There's nothing in this world that he cannot do!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

After the life and death incident in Overgrown Forest Planet, they all trusted Chen Xiaobei unconditionally, and even saw him as a religious figure!

Of course, other than believing in Chen Xiaobei, they could do nothing else.

In the mothership.

The governor of Thousand Lakes said, "Master Lu! Losing 30 combat space jets is a serious crime! If the thief is not caught, you need to think about the consequences you will have to face!"

"Thank you, brother Zheng for your concern! Why would I invite you over if I'm not confident?" Lu Mingjun chuckled.

"Save the brotherly names! You and I are not that familiar with each other!" Zheng Xiongfeng said. "Since you've invited me here, I will make sure to carry out my duty impartially! If I can't catch the thief, I will have to catch you!"

"Don't worry, governor Zheng! I am very confident!" Lu Mingjun said.

"Since you're so confident, why didn't you capture the thief then? Why are you wasting time? What if the person escapes?" Zheng Xiongfeng questioned.

"That's because this person's identity is a very sensitive issue. Unless I have someone just like you, governor Zheng, to be my witness, I wouldn't dare to touch him. I'm afraid that people will accuse me of abusing my position to retaliate against a personal enemy!"

"Retaliate against a personal enemy? Who might that be? Who is this person you have a grudge against?" Zheng Xiongfeng asked.

"That person's name is Chen Zhufeng. He killed my son Lu Changwei!"

"Chen Zhufeng?" For a moment, Zheng Xiongfeng's eyes flashed with shock and confusion.

About 10,000 young people from his planet had joined the Elite Hunting Competition. Had it not been for Chen Xiaobei, Thousand Lake City would have fallen into mayhem, and the young governor Zheng Haotian would not have been able to return safely!

"What is it? Governor Zheng, don't tell me that you heart has softened towards him just because he saved your son?" Lu Mingjun asked.

"Of course not!" Zheng Xiongfeng said sternly. "As long as there is evidence, I will make sure that justice is served!"

"I knew it! Governor Zheng has always been just and will never bend the law in favor of personal interests!" The excitement in Lu Mingjun's eyes revealed that his insidious plan was going accordingly.

"Enough nonsense! Where is this Chen Zhufeng?" Zheng Xiongfeng asked.

Lu Mingjun raised his finger and pointed. "His room is in front! Please come with me, governor Zheng!"

"Huh? Why are there two people at the door? Did you put him under lockdown?" Zheng Xiongfeng frowned.

"No, it's not a lockdown! It's just house arrest! My men are just guarding the door. They didn't harass Chen Zhufeng at all!"

"Whether there's harassment or not, we'll know in a while! If Mr. Chen is the thief, I will not be lenient! But he's not, I will not be gracious to the people who intend to frame him!"

Clearly, Zheng Xiongfeng was very grateful towards Chen Zhufeng for saving his son.

"We're here. Just ask as many questions as you please!" Lu Mingjun shot the two men a look and they opened the door immediately.

"Chen Zhufeng! Stop sleeping! Get up!" Lu Mingjun pretended to shout, and he rushed to be the first inside the room.

Lu Mingjun reached out and grabbed Chen XIaobei off the bed by his collar.

It might have appeared to be a simple gesture but Lu Mingjun was actually secretly dosing Chen Xiaobei with the antidote through his Ethereal Force.

The antidote was to neutralize the drug he instructed Zhu Dachang to dose Chen Xiaobei with earlier. It was effective immediately and Chen Xiaobei was awakened from the deep sleep.

"Mmm..." Chen Xiaobei stretched his arms lazily, as if he had just woken up from his slumber. It was as if he was never drugged at all.

"Don't bare your fangs and brandish your claws!" Lu Mingjun barked, and reached out to smack Chen Ziaobei's left hand.

In a swift motion, Lu Mingjun placed the Infinite Space Ring back onto Chen Xiaobei's finger. It was done so quickly and smoothly that no one saw it happen.

Lu Mingjun had obviously practiced sleight of hand many times. It was all done flawlessly and effortlessly.

Even the Zheng Xiongfeng who was only one step behind him and he did not notice anything.

At a glance, Chen Xiaobei simply looked like he had just woken up, and his Infinite Space Ring was undisturbed; therefore, eliminating all possibilities of him being framed.

This was Lu Mingjun's entire conspiracy!

He planted 20 combat space jets into Chen Xiaobei's Infinite Space Ring.

And then at the very last minute, he covertly returned the ring to Chen Xiaobei's finger! He obliterated any possibilities of him fabricating evidence against Chen Xiaobei, and prevented Chen Xiaobei from having any time to transfer the space jets elsewhere!

With the impartial, uncompromising Zheng Xiongfeng as witness, Chen Xiaobei would not be able to wiggle his way out once the Infinite Space Ring was thoroughly searched!

"Huh? Why are there so many people?" Chen Xiaobei glanced at the people who had gathered around him.

"Mr. Chen! I am the governor of Thousand Lakes City, Zheng Xiongfeng! Master Lu told me that he was more than certain that he has proof that you were the one who stole the 30 combat space jets! Since you are on Thousand Lake Planet's territory, I have the responsibility to find out the truth! I hope you can cooperate with us!"

"Fine! I will cooperate!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
