Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 173: Shameless Zhu Meng

The body of the black snake gradually became smaller and passed by Zhu Meng, as if it completely ignored Zhu Meng. After a while, the black snake returned to Lin Chen's shoulder and coiled up again.

No matter what, Luo Mian is the culprit of this incident. Although Zhu Meng has selfish motives, his contribution to Hangzhou City is obvious to all. However, Zhu Meng can be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape the punishment of living. Lin Chen must make him angry no matter what!
Lin Chen sneered and said, "Now the truth has come to light, Zhu Meng, now you understand why I call you a fool, right? Before the matter was investigated clearly, you wanted to eliminate the threat you thought you were for your own selfish desires. You ignored the truth of the matter, and even ignored the lives of the people of Hangzhou. If you had ordered people to find out the truth earlier, perhaps so many people would not have died from the epidemic. In my opinion, there is not much difference between you and Luo Mian. You are Luo Mian's biggest accomplice! You are even more hateful than him!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng slumped back in his chair, looking depressed and his eyes becoming empty.

Tang Zhong shook his head helplessly. Not only did Lin Chen win this game, he also wanted to hurt Zhu Meng's heart. My goodness, after such heart-breaking words came out, wouldn't Zhu Meng have some mental demons?

Speaking of which, Zhu Meng is quite unlucky. Everyone has his own selfish desires, which is understandable.

But Zhu Meng's selfishness not only indirectly helped the enemy, but also happened to offend Lin Chen. Lin Chen was a vengeful person. He obviously knew the truth a long time ago, but he still insisted on solving the problem in this way.

Not only did he not give Zhu Meng any face, he also stepped on his face and rubbed it on the ground continuously. Just thinking about this method is terrifying.

Through this incident, Tang Zhong has made up his mind that no matter what happens in the future, he must not offend Lin Chen!

This guy is very bad!

Lin Chen glanced at everyone present, then looked at Zhu Meng again and said, "The Black Snake is the patron saint of Hangzhou City. It is impossible for it to harm innocent humans. However, the poison used by that beast Luo Mian is the favorite of the White Devil Eagles in Xiling. If they attack, you should deal with it yourself. Don't ask the Black Snake for help. Don't let me look down on you!"

Lin Chen glanced at Zhu Meng coldly, then walked out of the house with the black snake. Now that the culprit of this incident had been subdued, it was time for him to retire.

As for Zhu Meng, Lin Chen naturally couldn't do anything to him. After all, he was a member of parliament, and Lin Chen would definitely not go against China.

As Lin Chen left, everyone in the conference hall finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure brought to them by the Black Snake was really too great. After relaxing, everyone looked at Zhu Meng and saw that Zhu Meng was still in that confused state. For a moment, everyone looked at each other. It was not right to leave now, nor was it right to stay. They didn't know what to do.

"Zhu Meng, things have already happened. There is no point in dwelling on it any longer. We must look forward!" Tang Zhong's voice rang out, breaking the silent atmosphere.

Tang Zhong's words also pulled Zhu Meng back. Zhu Meng looked at Tang Zhong awkwardly. He had forced Tang Zhong to deal with the black snake before, which caused some unhappiness between him and Tang Zhong.

Now that the truth has come to light, it was Tang Zhong who put aside his prejudices and turned to comfort him.

At this time, a man in uniform walked in. He saluted Zhu Meng and said, "Report, urgent military information from the fortress. The White Magic Eagles of Xiling suddenly launched a large-scale attack. Even the monarch-level demons of Xiling were dispatched, causing the military's Sky Eagles to rebel..."

After hearing the report, Zhu Meng frowned and he wished he could kill himself. If he handled this matter without any selfish motives, just like Lin Chen said, and investigated the source of the epidemic first, the situation would probably not be as serious as it is now.

Zhu Meng looked at Tang Zhong and said with difficulty: "Can... can't let... the Black Snake..." After a while, Zhu Meng didn't finish his words. The words that Lin Chen said before he left were still echoing in his mind.

But Zhu Meng no longer cares about his face. What he cares most about is whether Hangzhou can be defended.

Although Zhu Meng hadn't finished speaking, Tang Zhong had clearly understood what he meant. He sighed softly and said, "Lin Chen has already taken the lead in this matter. I am not sure. From what I know about him, Lin Chen is a person with a strong subjective consciousness. If he doesn't want to do something, it will be useless even if you put a knife to his neck! What's more, I don't have the strength to force him!"

Tang Zhong's words were true. He had dealt with Lin Chen before. It seemed that Lin Chen was very disgusted with Chinese organizations such as the Inquisition, and Lin Chen's strength seemed unfathomable to him. He was even more amazed that Tang Yue could be promoted to a super-class magician so quickly. It was obvious that the two of them were hiding a big secret!

Faced with such a situation, even though Tang Zhong was Tang Yue's uncle, he did not go to find out the truth. He knew in his heart that this was a bottom line issue, and as long as they did not take the initiative to ask, Tang Zhong would never take the initiative to ask.

Zhu Meng was disappointed when he heard this. Just when he was at a loss, Tang Zhong's voice rang out again.

"Maybe someone can convince him!" Tang Zhong said.

Zhu Meng was stunned, and immediately said excitedly: "Who is it? Tell me quickly, now is the moment of life and death in Hangzhou, don't keep us in suspense any longer!"

Tang Zhong laughed and said, "Tang Yue!"

"Tang Yue? Yes, yes, Tang Yue! Why didn't I think of that!" Zhu Meng said excitedly. The relationship between Tang Yue and Lin Chen was no secret. Not to mention that Tang Yue was a member of the Trial Council before. She suddenly stopped working to have a baby, so naturally they, the senior executives, could not hide it from them.

"Tang Zhong, please let Tang Yue talk to Lin Chen. As long as they can resolve the crisis in Hangzhou, I, Zhu Meng, promise that I will never cause trouble for Xuan Snake again from now on!" Zhu Meng said solemnly.

At this moment, Zhu Meng no longer cared about his face. No matter how important face was, it was not as important as the safety of Hangzhou!
The corner of Tang Zhong's mouth twitched. Listen, is Zhu Meng speaking human language? This matter had nothing to do with Xuan She in the first place, but now he was making it sound as if Xuan She had made some mistake and was giving him a chance to make amends.

Facing Zhu Meng's double-facedness, Tang Zhong laughed and didn't intend to argue with him. Zhu Meng did make many contributions to Hangzhou. He said, "I'll give it a try!"

……

There is an ancient mansion by the West Lake. In front of the mansion, Lin Chen was lying on a bamboo chair with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.

The sky is clear and cloudless. The autumn sunshine makes people feel a little warm. Under the sunlight, a long shadow is embedded on the ground.
