Chapter 829 Reencounter with Peng Jing
Chapter 829 Reencounter with Peng Jing
The two started arguing back and forth, and soon the atmosphere became quite tense.
The men they brought were also on edge, ready to fight at any moment!
Seeing that he couldn't communicate with Zhou Meng, Liu Chao was so angry that he was trembling all over.
He wanted to confront them directly, but considering the consequences, he could only suppress his anger.
"Old Peng! You should know how serious this is. You need to talk some sense into him for me!"
Upon hearing Liu Chao call his name, Peng Jing hesitated for a moment before whispering,
"Director, what Liu Chao said actually makes a lot of sense. We must deal with Su Chen first!"
He paused, then said to Liu Chao,
"Chaozi, you do need our help now, so you have to at least humble yourself, right?"
Zhou Meng and Liu Chao originally didn't intend to fall out.
With Peng Jing's persuasion, the atmosphere between them eased.
"Old Zhou, I have a suggestion, what do you think?"
Liu Chao said slowly.
"tell me the story!"
"Let's put aside our past grievances and join forces to deal with the Watchers Alliance and Su Chen."
"How about we continue our conversation after we've dealt with the external dangers?"
Liu Chao offered his suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Meng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Chaozi, you've got a really big plan."
"If we do as you say, you'll get a huge advantage!"
Liu Chao frowned.
This Zhou Meng is truly stubborn and inflexible!
However, after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice,
"How about this, let's treat this fight against Su Chen as a competition."
"How does the competition work?"
Zhou Meng became interested.
"It's very simple. Whoever puts in the most effort and makes the greatest contribution will become the president!"
Liu Chao then made another suggestion.
"You make it sound so easy. What if you turn your back on us after we actually kill Su Chen?"
"Or what if you only show up but don't actually put in the effort when dealing with Su Chen?"
Zhou Meng snorted coldly.
"That's easy. Let's go and invite An Wenjing and He Jiang over! We can discuss this matter together!"
Liu Chao said decisively.
Zhou Meng remained silent and pondered for a moment.
If what Liu Chao said is true, then this method is actually the fairest and most appropriate.
During Wang Zhan's reign, in order to prevent being usurped, he deliberately decentralized power.
Each vice president wields relatively little power.
Unless they can unite, they are no match for Wang Zhan.
But this also led to the Brotherhood falling apart after Wang Zhan's death!
After all, the vice presidents have roughly the same power, so why should they submit to you?
"Alright, then go and invite them over first, and we'll discuss it further!"
Zhou Meng finally nodded and agreed to Liu Chao's proposal.
Liu Chao was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to invite An Wenjing and He Jiang over.
Not long after, An Wenjing and He Jiang arrived with their men.
"Old Zhou, what are you guys doing?"
An Wenjing frowned.
"Hey, you two should talk this out. There's no need to resort to violence."
He Jiang feigned sincerity.
"You two are overthinking it. We don't intend to take action."
Liu Chao chuckled and explained,
"I invited you here today because I discussed with Lao Zhou a peaceful way to resolve the issue."
An Wenjing and He Jiang exchanged a glance.
"tell me the story."
Liu Chao then explained his method again.
"This agreement is not just between the two of us, but also includes you all!"
"The four of us can be both participants and referees!"
"Anyone who hesitates to fight or betrays an ally shall be punished severely by the other three!"
"Finally, the four of us will fairly and impartially select the president."
"What do you think?"
Zhou Meng's heart sank.
In terms of pure strength, he is definitely inferior to the two legion commanders.
That bastard Liu Chao, how did he drag An Wenjing and He Jiang into this?
After hearing Liu Chao's suggestion, An Wenjing and He Jiang became clearly interested.
Given the chance, who wouldn't want to be the president?
"I agree, what about you, Lao He?"
He Jiang thought for a moment and then smiled.
"I agree, but I would like to make another request."
"any request?"
Liu Chao asked.
"Let Lao Peng join in too!"
Everyone was taken aback, and their eyes all turned to Peng Jing.
Peng Jing himself was stunned.
Although Zhou Meng has already appointed Peng Jing as vice president.
However, his strength was simply no match for the others.
Even if he joins the agreement, he is unlikely to become the final winner.
The only reason He Jiang would let him join was to avoid a tie in the end.
"Old Peng is a fair and just person, he would never do anything underhanded."
He Jiang said with a smile.
"I agree."
"I agree!"
Zhou Meng and An Wenjing thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"I agree!"
Zhou Meng readily agreed.
In his view, Peng Jing was one of his own, and joining him would be entirely beneficial!
And so, Peng Jing unwittingly joined the competition for the presidency.
The two sides talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they parted ways.
"Old Peng, I value you highly, that's why I released you and appointed you as vice president."
"You absolutely mustn't let me down!"
Before parting, Zhou Meng patted Peng Jing on the shoulder meaningfully.
Peng Jing walked towards his residence with a heavy heart.
One reason is the open and covert struggles among Zhou Meng and others.
On the other hand, it was also due to the pressure brought by Su Chen and the Watchers Alliance.
Feeling immense pressure, he pushed open the door, completely unaware that an uninvited guest had appeared on the sofa.
Peng Jing didn't realize what was happening until the other person spoke.
"Chief Inspector, it's been a long time!"
Peng Jing was startled.
He instinctively tensed his back muscles and gripped the weapon in his hand.
But when he saw clearly who was sitting on the sofa, he exclaimed in disbelief.
"Su...Su Chen?"
Not bad.
The person who appeared at his house was none other than Su Chen!
"Chief Inspector, your vigilance is a bit too low these days."
Su Chen smiled and looked at Peng Jing.
"You...you...how did you get in?"
Peng Jing said somewhat nervously.
But as soon as he said it, he knew he had asked in vain.
Although Dragon City is heavily guarded, with Su Chen's strength, sneaking in quietly would not be a problem!
"Chief Inspector, don't be nervous. If I really wanted to harm you, why would I be talking to you?"
Su Chen smiled faintly, picked up the tea on the table, and poured himself a cup.
Peng Jing composed himself, sat down in front of him, and said in a deep voice,
"Su Chen, Zhou Meng and the others hate you to the core!"
"Aren't you afraid I'll call them all over?"
Su Chen burst into laughter.
"Fear? That word doesn't exist in my dictionary."
"And with my strength, I can definitely kill you and escape before they arrive!"
