Chapter 3997: Chapter 3997: Tian Chen Targeted in the Open Sea

Only those who know him realize that the man, who looks no different on the outside, actually sits in a wheelchair year-round, relying on it for mobility.

He skillfully hides his physical shortcomings, making people focus solely on his capabilities, rarely noticing his body.

"Is this the result of your three-day investigation?" Lu Zhi finally put down the pen, placing his hand on the desk, looking at him coldly.

The executive trembled with fear: "The high seas are difficult to investigate, I, I’ll immediately have someone check again!"

’Click’, Lu Zhi fiddled with the pen, his gaze seemingly passing over him to see someone else, suddenly stopping, "No need. I know who did it."

The executive instinctively asked, "Lu Zhi, who dared to rob our Tian Chen’s cargo? Have they eaten a bear’s heart or leopard’s gall?"

Jian Jin’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked at Lu Zhi again, indeed judging from his expression, guessing who he was referring to, she subconsciously pursed her lips.

QIAO.

Lu Zhi ignored the speaking executive, leaned over to pick up the Rubik’s cube on the table, and his hands swiftly solved one side.

While he was silent, no one else in the office dared to speak.

The atmosphere became tense and heavy.

The executive thought he had said something wrong, his face turned pale with fright, and his legs nearly gave out, almost sitting down heavily, but he managed to barely steady himself with a desire to maintain propriety, though his lips were trembling violently, "Lu, Lu, Lu Zhi?"

He was contemplating whether to immediately admit fault and apologize.

But he hesitated, uncertain about what he might have said to offend Lu Zhi into silence.

In just two seconds, he felt as if he was being repeatedly fried in boiling oil, large beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He was just about to speak.

A knocking sound came from the door.

The secretary outside cautiously said, "Lu Zhi, Zhui Guang from the Red Alliance has arrived."

...

When Qiao Nian entered, she noticed several people standing in the office, apart from Jian Jin, she didn’t recognize any of them, so she simply retracted her gaze.

She walked towards Lu Zhi as if she saw nothing, standing in front of the desk, gazing at the young man sitting there upright, as if meeting him for the first time.

Lu Zhi was discomforted by her unfamiliar gaze, breaking the balance like dropping defensive armor, "You have something to discuss with me?"

"Otherwise? I wouldn’t come if there’s nothing." Qiao Nian turned her eyes away, heading straight for the reception sofa, finding a spot to sit casually.

Some of Tian Chen’s higher-ups recognized her, while others were seeing her for the first time.

But regardless of who they were, they were shocked by Qiao Nian’s attitude towards Lu Zhi, breaking out in a cold sweat and repeatedly glancing at the girl’s direction.

Is Zhui Guang usually this arrogant with Lu Zhi? That’s overly audacious!

The Red Alliance is significant in the illegal zone, but compared to Tian Chen, there’s still a gap, not to mention that rumors have been circulating these days about the two big players falling out.

It seemed that Lu Zhi had made a move against the Red Alliance in private.

In this scenario, what exactly is Zhui Guang planning by coming alone to the Tian Chen Headquarters?

Many minds were swirling with turbulent thoughts, and their gazes at Qiao Nian were extremely complex... No matter what Zhui Guang wanted to do, it seemed overly audacious.

However, unexpectedly, Lu Zhi’s reaction was different. His eyes followed the girl the entire time, showing no signs of anger.

His hands were even crossed on the desk, the aura around him softening significantly, at least he wasn’t as intimidating as when he was speaking with the executive just now.

"Are you here on behalf of Ye Wangchuan?"

Qiao Nian glanced over quietly, merely asking, "Give me an explanation."
