Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal
Chapter 42: Evil Merchant Zhou Cheng
"The road of regret..." Zhou Shun was stunned when he heard Clorinde say this. "Lady Clorinde, what are you... talking about..."
"Nothing, just something I felt." After she finished speaking, Clorinde walked into the police station with Mo Yan and others without even looking back.
After handing Liu Si over to other guards, Clorinde did not go any deeper, but stood at the door and observed carefully.
At this moment, Zhou Shun stood there with his fists clenched, seemingly having made some kind of decision, and then turned and left.
"What is he going to do?" asked Karen.
"Most likely he wants to go back and solve the problem." Mo Yan thought, then looked at Clorinde, "This time there should be a conclusion, right?"
"We'll have to wait and see," Clorinde said. Seeing Zhou Shun walking further and further away, she walked out the door again. "He's already gone far. We should catch up with him as soon as possible."
"Hey, you want to follow someone again?"
Following Clorinde's footsteps, the three of them were very careful along the way, until Zhou Shun walked into a mansion, and then they stopped against the wall.
"Is this Captain Zhou's residence again?" Kailin looked ahead in confusion.
The iron fence was two meters high and covered with barbed wire. Outside the mansion was a garden that looked like a small park with a fountain in the middle.
There were two armed guards in front of the door. They were dressed in plain clothes and their posture was completely different from that of police guards. Passersby would deliberately avoid them when they walked past the door.
"It's really notorious." Kailin said angrily.
"They've done so many evil things in the past three years that many people have chosen to stay away from them," Clorinde explained, then sighed and lowered her head. "I'm so ashamed..."
Looking at Clorinde's expression, Mo Yan was silent for a moment.
"So what should we do now?"
"We must go in," said Clorinde.
"Ah?" Karen's eyes widened. She looked at the barbed wire on the fence in front of her, then looked at Clorinde. "Miss Clorinde, you are not kidding, are you?"
"Of course, but who says there's only one way?" Clorinde said, looking at Tianlang. "I've heard that the power of the Moon Saint can rip through space for teleportation. I also understand that your power has become extremely unstable for some reason, but if it's just a short distance, it should be fine, right?"
Tianlang lowered his head after hearing this: "It should be possible, but it depends on the specific location."
"Is that so?" Clorinde turned and pointed to the terrace on the third floor of the mansion. "I was invited here a while ago. I think this is right next to where Zhou Shun's brother Zhou Cheng works. How about it? Can it be done?"
Sirius looked at where Clorinde pointed, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Well... let's give it a try."
He stretched out his right hand, summoned a sickle, and cut a spatial crack on the wall behind him.
Tianlang walked into the crack first, and only after confirming that everything was correct did he inform everyone else to come in.
Arriving on the other side of the crack, everyone could clearly see the layout of the garden. Not only at the gate, but also throughout the courtyard, there were secret sentries. Fortunately, they didn't come in by climbing over the wall. Otherwise, even if they had avoided the barbed wire, they would inevitably have had to fight with these minions.
Mo Yan walked into the house and almost screamed in surprise the next second. Although it was just a small room, it was magnificent and inlaid with gold coins. The grandeur of this place was far greater than that of Sirius' castle.
At this time, Zhou Shun's voice came from the next room.
"Brother, how many times have I told you that you can't control the people under you? You're making it very difficult for me to do this!"
"Shh." Clorinde hushed softly and leaned against the wall, motioning with her hand for everyone to come over and listen.
In the next room, standing before Zhou Shun was a portly man of similar age. He had a mustache, was dressed in fine clothes, and wore a gold ring with a diamond on each finger of his left hand. Two butlers stood beside him.
"Brother, what are you talking about? No one in our house is sick or in trouble, so why should it be difficult for you?" He stroked his beard and smiled.
"Don't play dumb. Your housekeeper Wu brought people to beat someone up on the street today. If you didn't know, why would you send people to me and ask me to release them?" Zhou Shun said angrily.
Zhou Cheng, on the other hand, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Brother, you can't say that. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame them for being unlucky. Our family is powerful enough that those unruly people can't just bump into us."
"This guy is too arrogant!" Next door, Karen whispered in dissatisfaction after hearing this.
"Shh, keep your voice down, it will be bad if we are discovered." Tianlang whispered beside him.
"What are you talking about! Are ordinary people so despicable in your eyes? What's the difference between you and the evil man Chen Yuanwai from three years ago? How can I live like this?" Zhou Shun shouted angrily, "Do you know what people outside are saying about me now? They say I'm an evil police officer like you, and that the justice I've been doing is a lie and a fabrication. If this continues, I won't be able to live like a human being anymore!"
Looking at Zhou Shun's expression, Zhou Cheng snorted nonchalantly.
"Let people criticize you? So what? Or is that just a decoration?" He looked at the gun on Zhou Shun's waist and said, "Besides, this is the city of sin. It has always been a concentration camp for sin. Don't you think it's ridiculous to preach here?"
"You..." Zhou Shun was about to retort, but was interrupted by Zhou Cheng the next second.
"Besides, the things we did have already made us infamous. Not to mention we've been doing it for three years. I don't believe that Clorinde doesn't know anything about it. I think she's like most police officers, preferring to avoid trouble. Otherwise, we would have gotten into trouble long ago after doing so much!"
"If you ask me, you should just pay some money as a tribute. Maybe you can even become sheriff or a higher position. Then, the entire Sin City will be under our control."
After listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Clorinde's face became noticeably gloomier.
"Tsk."
"Is it my illusion? I always feel that Miss Clorinde is very angry." Looking at Clorinde's appearance, Karen on the side subconsciously took a few steps back and whispered in panic.
"I think there's no need to doubt it." Tianlang said helplessly.
Bah!
Next door, there was only the sound of a door slamming, and then there was no movement.
"It seems Captain Zhou still can't shake off the burden of family affection." Mo Yan shook his head and whispered, then looked at Clorinde again and asked, "So what are your plans next?"
Clorinde suppressed her anger, sighed, turned around and said, "Let's go back first. We can't fight here."
"Hey, isn't it possible?" asked Karen.
"Karin!" Mo Yan scolded in a low voice, walked to Karin and shook his head, not allowing her to ask any more questions.
With the help of Tianlang, everyone left, and at this time the conversation started again in the next room.
"Master, will there be any problem with the second in command?" The older butler walked up to Zhou Cheng and asked.
Zhou Cheng said confidently, "Don't worry, my brother will be fine even if something goes wrong. How are you guys doing with that matter?"
"It's a bit tricky. The local villagers have been trying to stop us. We can't demolish it even if we want to." The housekeeper shook his head and said.
"Hmph, a bunch of ruffians from the mountains dare to go against me. No one can block my way to wealth. Tear it down. If anyone dares to stop me... Hmph, you know what I mean!" Zhou Cheng said with clenched fists.
