Chapter 1115: What Identity?
"Ah, someone's dead."
"Second Young Master Su has been killed!"
The wealthy merchants from the Northwest screamed in terror in the hall.
They never expected it; Su Zhengting had already revealed his identity, with foundations so deep it was frightening.
Even a Divine Realm Expert shouldn't be so presumptuous.
"Brother, brother."
Su Zhengjun, who was suppressed on his knees, wailed in agony upon seeing his brother killed.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, you, you killed my brother. The Su family and our connections behind us will never let this go. I will take revenge, I will seek revenge at all costs."
Su Zhengjun was truly on the verge of madness.
Wei Hu and Chu Ying immediately frowned deeply.
Their expressions were as ugly as possible.
With their status, they knew that if the Su family went all out, the authorities would inevitably intervene.
At that point, Zhang Xiaoshan's troubles would be immense.
"Hehe."
But just then, Zhang Xiaoshan sneered in disdain.
He looked indifferently at the furious Su Zhengjun.
"Chairman Su, you are right. Your Su family has deep foundations with official support, possibly even reaching the throne's ears. Even a Divine Realm Expert struggles against your family's revenge."
"But, if you commit treason, will the authorities still protect you?"
"Treason?"
Zhang Xiaoshan's words startled everyone.
"How could the Su family possibly commit treason?"
"This?"
Everyone looked perplexed and doubtful.
Wei Hu and Chu Ying whispered to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, we know the Su family's background. It's very clean, and many of them work in related departments. They shouldn't do such a foolish thing, right?"
A trace of panic flashed in Su Zhengjun's eyes, but he forced himself to say.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, you are indeed highly skilled, but you shouldn't make such baseless accusations. Do you have any evidence for what you're claiming?"
"You've already made a grave mistake, please don't make it worse."
"For now, if you let us all go, and allow White Dragon Commerce to merge into our Northwest Commerce, I might consider giving you a chance."
"Hehe, give me a chance?"
Zhang Xiaoshan sneered even colder.
"Seems more like I would be giving you a chance."
"Since you refuse to admit it, let me clarify things a bit more."
"What is Lei Gang's status?"
"He, he is..."
Su Zhengjun's gaze wavered, providing no answer.
Zhang Xiaoshan then looked at the other wealthy merchants.
"Does anyone know Lei Gang's true identity?"
The richest man in Qing Province spoke up.
"This, this person was brought in by Chairman Su, we don't know him, only know he's a very formidable Divine Realm Expert."
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately countered.
"Hehe, there are only a handful of Divine Realm Experts in Huaxia, each a famous figure, commanding their domains, not some random street thugs. Given your status, don't you know the names of the Divine Realm Experts in Huaxia?"
A word to shake those in slumber.
"Yes, since he's a Divine Realm Expert, why don't we know anything about Master Lei's background, never even heard of him, just like he suddenly appeared?"
"It's simple."
Zhang Xiaoshan continued.
"Because Lei Gang is not a good person, he's even an officially unauthorized existence, always lurking in the shadows, a cultist."
He then emphasized further.
"Lei Gang's identity is extremely sensitive, being a sinister existence targeted by the authorities. Your Northwest Commerce dared to collude with him, not just Su Zhengjun, every one of you is suspected of threatening national security."
"What?"
In an instant, everyone's gaze fell on Su Zhengjun.
"Chairman Su, is he telling the truth? You're the one who brought him in; if he's truly someone expelled by the authorities, you can't drag us into this."
"Yes, Chairman Su, what's Master Lei's true origin?"
Su Zhengjun's face turned pale, eyes filled with panic.
But being someone experienced with ups and downs, he knew he couldn't confess now, so he gritted his teeth and said.
"How would I know Lei Gang's identity? He just came to me, saying he wanted to lend a hand, that's all."
"Hehe."
Zhang Xiaoshan laughed coldly, exposing it directly.
"Seems like you truly don't cry until you see the coffin."
"Alright, since you don't know, let me enlighten you."
"Lei Gang is from an organization called the Chasing Moon Alliance, which is the largest underground cultivation group in the country, and has always been considered a major threat by the authorities, who are constantly hunting them down. They have a group of high-ranking members, thirty-six Moon Envoys, and Lei Gang is the eldest disciple of the Third Moon Envoy, high-ranking within the alliance too."
"Chairman Su, are you saying that a Divine Realm Expert with such status would inexplicably seek you out to lend a hand for mere money?"
"Did the other party not demand that you cooperate with his organization?"
"I see you have thoroughly defected to the Chasing Moon Alliance, becoming their lackey."
"What?"
Immediately, everyone in the room was shocked.
Wei Hu stood out and said.
"I know of the Chasing Moon Alliance. I was once ordered to lead a troop assault on one of their branches. These people are peculiar and pose a significant threat to public safety."
"They even undermine our foundations. If Su Zhengjun has indeed collaborated with them, he surely deserves to die."
"Ah?"
This time, the Northwest merchants were completely panicked.
"It's Su Zhengjun, it's all Su Zhengjun's doing, we know nothing about it, it has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, we, we are completely unaware of the situation. The only one who knows the truth is Chairman Su himself. I'm innocent."
These high-ranking figures were now utterly flustered, for if the charges were confirmed, everything they had would become a mirage.
"Useless."
Su Zhengjun shouted angrily.
"Truly a bunch of useless fools, how can I succeed with you?"
"It's just that brat's speculation, he has no proof, and Lei Gang's identity isn't for him to decide."
"What evidence does he have, what is his status, what gives him the right to kill so recklessly?"
