Chapter 1466: A Mouthful of Blood

"Good! It's great that Mr. Chen Xiaobei agrees to cooperate!" Zheng Xiongfeng said. "The items that were stolen were 30 combat space jets. A plunder this size could only be hidden inside Storage Spiritual Instruments and nothing else! So, Mr. Chen, if you would, please hand over your Infinite Space Ring so that I could do a search!"

"Alright. Here!" Chen Xiaobei took off the ring and handed it over.

A smile stretched across Lu Mingjun's face when he saw this.

Before he put the ring on Chen Xiaobei's finger, Lu Mingjun had made sure to check that all 20 combat space jets were inside!

That was less than 10 seconds ago, but Chen Xiaobei did not even think twice before he surrendered his ring to Zheng Xiongfeng.

Chen Xiaobei had fallen into his trap. He could never get himself out of this!

Zheng Xiongfeng noticed the expression on Lu Mingjun's face and suspected that something was amiss. So he asked Chen Xiaobei, "Mr. Chen, before I search your ring, I'd like to confirm two things with you!"

"What are they?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"First, did anyone harass you while you were in your room? Second, has anyone touched your Infinite Space Ring?" Zheng Xiongfeng said. "These two questions are crucial. Think very carefully before you answer!"

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "I've been sleeping very comfortably in my room. No one came to disturb me, and no one touched my Infinite Space Ring! I wore it on my finger and if anyone touched it, I would have surely woken up immediately."

Zheng Xiongfeng's brows were furrowed when he asked, "So, you're saying that no one touched your ring, and if the stolen goods are inside, it was not planted by someone else, am I right?"

"Yup!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged again. "I had the ring on my finger the whole time. No one would have the chance to plant anything."

"If that's the case, I'll begin my search! Once the search results are out, there's no changing it!"

Lu Xiongfeng focused his attention and began to search the Infinite Space Ring.

Lu Mingjun's smile widened at this. He had actually prepared some rhetoric to justify the search but Chen Xiaobei was so cooperative, he did not have to say anything. Chen Xiaobei had thrown himself into the fire without his prodding.

"So, the stolen goods are inside, right?" Lu Mingjun asked impatiently.

He had planted the stolen goods inside himself, and he had even made sure to check that the space jets were inside before he 'returned' it!

Zheng Xiongfeng said nothing, his brows still knitted together as he passed the Infinite Space Ring to the other masters of Thousand Lake's first class nobles.

The ring was passed around, and each person looked inside it. Finally, the ring was returned to Zheng Xiongfeng.

"You have all searched it, right?" Lu Mingjun could not wait any longer and made the executive decision when he shouted, "Guys! Come in and…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Zheng Xiongfeng called out in an even louder voice, "Guards! Come in and arrest Lu Mingjun and the rest of the Lu Family!"

"What?!" Lu Mingjun's eyes widened in disbelief. "Gov… Governor Zheng! What is the meaning of this?"

"There's not a single combat space jet inside Mr. Chen's Infinite Space Ring! There was none at all!" Zheng Xiongfeng said sternly. "That is to say that Mr. Chen has nothing to do with the missing combat space jets! As the people in charge of this mothership, your family will have to bear the responsibility of the missing items!"

"What?! They're not in there? How is that possible? You must be mistaken!"

Lu Mingjun's mouth opened so wide you could stuff a fist into it.

He had put the space jets inside himself! He even double checked! How could they not be inside?

"We've all searched though it thoroughly. There's no way we're mistaken. If you don't believe us, then I will allow you to check it once for yourself!"

Zheng Xiongfeng offered the Infinite Space Ring.

Lu Mingjun took it, and rummaged through it. When he was done, he looked like he had just seen a ghost.

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! No way!"

Clearly, Lu Mingjun could not find the space jets inside either.

Other than the few knick knacks that Chen Xiaobei had inside earlier on, there was not a shadow of the combat space jets inside!

"Give it back!" Zheng Xiongfeng grabbed the ring from him. "Now that the matter has been made clear, we can confirm that Mr. Chen is not involved int the case of the missing combat space jets!"

"No way! This is absolutely impossible, governor Zheng! Listen to me, this is a misunderstanding!" Lu Mingjun began to doubt himself as he spoke.

He would never know where the 20 combat space jets went.

"I don't think so!" Zheng Xiongfeng said grimly. "From now on, you, Lu Mingjun has the right to remain silent. Anything you say will used against you and shall be reported, word for word, to the Overlord!"

"I…"

Lu Mingjun looked like he was going to be sick. His palms were cold and sweaty.

He had racked his brain and exhausted his wiles to come up with this ruthless scheme, thinking that he could destroy Chen Xiaobei and everyone who supported him.

Luckily, Chen Xiaobei and his supporters were safe and unharmed. Instead, it was Lu Mingjun and his core family members who would suffer!

What was funnier was that the Zheng Xiongfeng and the Thousand Lakes nobles that Lu Mingjun invited to witness Chen Xiaonbei's crime actually witnessed his instead!

He really shot himself in the foot this time.

Based on Zheng Xiongfeng's character, he would not be lenient with Lu Mingjun and the Lu Family. He would make sure that the case was presented before the Northern Wilderness Overlord. Even if the Lu Family was not destroyed, they would at least suffer a great deal of losses!

"Blaaargh…" Lu Mingjun was so upset thinking about it that he suddenly vomited blood. 

"Heh, Master Lu, isn't it a little too early to be vomiting blood? You'll be doing more of that later on!" Zheng Xiongfeng barked. "Guards! Lock the Lu Family in the dungeon, and wait for the Overlord's orders!"

Because this matter involved the Northern Wilderness Overlord, Lu Mingjun dared not resist his arrest but allowed himself to be taken away obediently.

"Mr. Chen! I'm sorry to startle you!" The anger in Zheng Xiongfeng's had disappeared. He handed the ring back to Chen Xiaobei with both hands.

"You're too polite, governor Zheng. I don't deserve it."

Chen Xiaobei took the ring back and slipped it back on.

"Why not?! You saved my son Zheng Haotian! You have done us such a great favour, I don't know I can ever repay you!"

Zheng Xiongfeng straightened his clothes, and raised both hands, and gave Chen Xiaobei a bow.

"I…"

Chen Xiaobei did not expect this governor whose ranking was equal to that of the Silver Plume Dong Zhao to be so courteous towards him.

"Mr. Chen saved our family's future! We will always remember what you've done!"

The rest of the first-rate nobles did the same, and gave Chen Xiaobei a deep bow!
