Zuo Xun’s expression turned even darker.
Although this shelter had not been established for long, it had already been divided into several factions.
Those who were loyal to Shi Shaochen would definitely be the majority. When Shi Shaochen gave some of his power to Zuo Xun, a young man who did not have any superpowers and was used to trying to hop between factions, he did not differ from a traitor and a villain in their eyes.
He had also affected their interests, so they naturally disliked him. Hence, the moment Shi Shaochen left, they immediately dealt with him.
Du Feng was Zuo Xun’s biggest competitor!
The reason Zhou Jun did this was obviously because he thought that Zuo Xun was on the same side as the Tang family. He was afraid that Zuo Xun would come and seek trouble with him, so he quickly joined another faction.
Mrs. Tang noticed something and immediately looked at her daughter.
Tang Susu blinked at her, her expression innocent but not surprised.
Mrs. Tang understood everything. She suddenly remembered what her eldest had said about Susu’s cautious behavior. Even he had to learn from her. She sighed and sat down on the chair beside her.
“Let’s go and talk to Zhou Jun!” Zuo Xun felt a little uneasy. He was about to go over personally when Zhou Jun brought a group of people over.
The first to appear was his arch-enemy, Du Feng!
Before the other party arrived, a high-pitched voice could already be heard.
“Zuo Xun, you’re finished. Do you know who your friends have offended?”
The short and fat man walked in with a fierce expression on his face. “They are Master Shi’s enemies! The people that Master Shi wanted to kill at all costs, and they even ambushed Master Shi yesterday, offending him to the core. And you actually personally led them into Master Shi’s territory today? You must be getting tired of living!”
Zuo Xun’s body trembled. He thought that he was only being used by the Tang family to deal with the Zhou Jun. He did not expect that there was an even more terrifying layer.
They still wanted to kill him!
“Nonsense! I have nothing to do with them. Also, you believe everything this person said?”
He looked coldly at Zhou Jun, who had gained the upper hand. He had originally wanted to join forces with him to deal with the Tang family, but the situation had developed beyond his control.
Wasn’t all of this Tang Susu’s doing?
“I knew you would deny it. Come here, all of you. Tell me about what happened in Qingzhou Shelter yesterday.”
Du Feng waved his hand and called the Metahumans Shi Shaochen had poached from Qingzhou Shelter.
These people left Qingzhou Shelter yesterday afternoon and returned to Chongzhou Shelter. They encountered zombies along the way and didn’t come back until late at night.
Originally, Zuo Xun wanted to ask them about it, but it was already quite late. When he wanted to ask in the morning, Du Feng took away these people. When he wanted to ask Du Feng again, the Tang family appeared…
This chain of events seemed like a huge trap in Zuo Xun’s eyes, all aiming at him!
“That’s about it. Those Tangs have schemed against Master Shi time and time again. They even wanted to kill Ms. Ying. They are definitely Master Shi’s sworn enemies! When Master Shi returns, I’m afraid the first thing he’ll do is get rid of them!”
“Unfortunately, not only do I not know them, but I was also once their enemy. It’s just that I was used by them and didn’t know the situation.” Zuo Xun’s reaction was extremely quick. No matter how fast his heart was beating, he quickly expressed his loyalty.
“If I knew they were enemies to Master Shi, I would have detained them immediately and handed them over to Master Shi to deal with!”
Du Feng smiled coldly. “Zuo Xun, who would believe you now? Everyone in the shelter saw you invite them here. You treated them well and even allowed them to pick Ms. Ying’s favorite roses!”
“Yeah, why aren’t you handing them over? How long are you going to cover them up for?” Zhou Jun was also a little annoyed that he could not make any contributions to Shi Shaochen because of this person’s interference. “You ruined the plan to capture them I had carefully prepared!”
Zuo Xun was questioned again and again, to the point where he was becoming annoyed. He had done something rash back then and was taken advantage of by the Tang family.
“Hand him over, and you’ll be spared from the death penalty, but you won’t be able to escape the punishment. If you don’t hand him over, I’m afraid Master Shi will kill you first to vent his anger!”
Du Feng snorted proudly. Just as he was about to sit down on the chair next to him, his entire body went numb. Then, he fell to the ground.
“Zuo Xun, how dare you ambush me!?” He angrily jumped up from the ground and shot a burst of fire at Zuo Xun’s face!
