In the afternoon, Chen Shu disembarked from the plane and arrived in Longjiang City.
"They didn't even arrange for someone to pick me up?"
Chen Shu shook his head and followed the crowd out of the airport.
Just as he was about to make a phone call, he heard the discussions of people nearby.
Chen Shu was now a Golden Beast Tamer, and his physical fitness was second only to King-level. His hearing was naturally extremely sharp.
"Is it really him?"
"He's back? Is the news online true?"
"He killed so many people and nothing happened. We should stay away..."
"The officials didn't even deal with him, which proves that the ruthless bandit wasn't wrong!"
"What do you know? His talent is so strong. What if the higher-ups are protecting him?"
The crowd immediately recognized Chen Shu, but their expressions were varied. Some eyes were filled with fear, while others still held a look of admiration...
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected so many people to be afraid of him...
He sighed silently. As expected, only the people of Nanjiang City trusted him the most.
In fact, discussions about Chen Shu online were already heating up.
Some speculated that he hadn't done anything wrong and would naturally not be convicted, while others believed that the officials were forcefully protecting him...
Of course, there were also many international forces fanning the flames and secretly manipulating public opinion...
While domestic discussions were still rational, the international scene was chaotic, with some even listing Chen Shu's crimes one by one.
For a time, Chen Shu had become the focus of public attention...
However, the authorities had yet to issue any statement, causing public opinion to continue to ferment. Many national powers even wanted to unite and force China to hand over Chen Shu...
Some forces might genuinely worry that Chen Shu was a deranged criminal and wanted to nip him in the bud for the safety of the Blue Star.
But some forces might simply not want to see Chen Shu continue to grow...
If the balance of human internal strength were to be broken, it might lead to internal strife, which would then give the fierce beasts an opportunity.
"Chen Pi!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.
Qin Tian and Liu Feng were waving at Chen Shu, their eyes filled with smiles.
"Principal, Teacher!"
Chen Shu also smiled slightly and approached the two of them.
"Let's go."
Qin Tian took the lead, guiding Chen Shu into a black car outside the airport.
"Chen Pi, you shouldn't pay too much attention to what others are saying."
Liu Feng wanted to comfort him, saying, "We've called you to Longjiang City today precisely to resolve this matter."
"You mean the online discussions?"
Chen Shu chuckled and shook his head, "I've only glanced at them. Why should I care?"
He dared to kill people on a global live broadcast, so he wouldn't care about a little public opinion...
"That's right. With your mental fortitude, these are minor issues."
Qin Tian, who was driving, shook his head with a smile, his eyes showing admiration.
"By the way, how does the official intend to resolve this?"
Chen Shu's eyes showed a hint of curiosity. He was now subtly projected as the number one villain on the Blue Star...
Even though various forces wanted to put pressure on China, he didn't care much.
Qin Tian and the other three could travel thousands of miles to pick him up, which must have been at the behest of the old man. With the protection of the number one powerhouse, no one could touch him.
"You'll know tomorrow."
Liu Feng smiled mysteriously and said no more.
Soon, the three arrived at a hotel in the suburbs of Longjiang City.
Liu Feng instructed, "Tomorrow, you just need to wear a suit!"
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback and said, "They're not going to give me a dignified way to die, are they?"
"What nonsense are you thinking?"
Liu Feng patted Chen Shu's head and said, "How could we let you die with dignity?"
"???"
"Just kidding."
Liu Feng and the other smiled, then turned and left the hotel room.
...
The next morning,
Knock, knock, knock!
"Chen Pi! Open the door!"
Liu Feng came to knock on the door early in the morning, fearing he would oversleep.
"Coming, coming."
Chen Shu tidied his blue and white hospital gown and opened the door at a leisurely pace, smiling and saying:
"Teacher, how is my suit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he froze.
Standing beside Liu Feng was a middle-aged woman.
Although she was a woman, her face was heroic, and her eyebrows were filled with a sharp aura that made it impossible to look directly at her.
"Who is this?"
Chen Shu was secretly startled. Just by her aura, he knew she was someone in a high position.
Moreover, her strength was definitely much greater than Liu Feng's, and even Qin Tian's.
King-level three-star?
Chen Shu secretly guessed that this level was already a top-tier powerhouse below the Legendary realm.
Liu Feng coughed and said:
"Director of the Imperial Dragon Guard, Gu Lan!"
"..."
Chen Shu was slightly surprised. No wonder she had such an aura. She was indeed a powerful figure.
Although Chen Qinghai was also a director, he was at most the second-in-command. The person in front of him was the actual leader, controlling the entire Imperial Dragon Guard.
In fact, true powerhouses in high positions and with formidable strength usually resided in the Dragon Abyss for extended periods.
For example, the old principal of the Huaxia Academy, the commander of the Spirit Suppressing Army, and so on...
"Greetings, Director Gu!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly, his eyes showing a hint of respect.
What earned his respect was not her status, but her years of guarding the Dragon Abyss. That contribution alone was worthy of everyone's respect.
"You are the legendary Nanjiang Ruthless Bandit Chen Shu?"
A peculiar smile appeared on the woman's heroic face,
Especially when she saw Chen Shu in his hospital gown, her smile grew even wider.
"Uh... I wouldn't dare claim to be a legend..."
Chen Shu scratched his head and said humbly, "You can just call me the World Champion."
