Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 199 Lin Tian's Show of Loyalty
Chen Luo pointed at Liu Zhiwen with a puzzled look, "Who are you?"
It couldn't be blamed on Chen Luo; on the surface, it had only been a few years, but Chen Luo had 12 years of life experience from his previous life.
High school classmates he wasn't familiar with – after more than a decade, could you still call them by name? At most, you'd have some impression of their appearance.
Liu Zhiwen chuckled, "It's me, Liu Zhiwen, young master. I even asked to borrow two thousand yuan from you, but you refused."
Chen Luo suddenly understood, "Liu Zhichuang, right?"
Zhichuang, same pronunciation.
Liu Zhiwen's face darkened, and he sneered to his companions, "Let me introduce you all, this is the young master of the Chen Group, worth over seventy billion at his peak."
Before the apocalypse, those with status and position would usually end up in a terrible state if they didn't have any real power after the apocalypse.
Psychologically repressed survivors often took it out on them.
Chen Luo smiled and said, "Old classmate, what's the meaning of this? How about letting me pass, for the sake of our old friendship?"
At this moment, one of Liu Zhiwen's companions pulled him aside and whispered, "This guy is dressed cleanly, and his complexion is good. He seems unusual. Be careful; he might be a tough customer."
Liu Zhiwen sneered. Indeed, he had noticed that too, but that wouldn't make him let Chen Luo go.
So what if he's capable? At most, he's Level 5. Could he possibly be Level 6?
They had more than a dozen Level 4s here, and the base was right next door. They wouldn't dare to be bandits in someone else's territory, would they?
What, could a Level 5 fight hundreds of people?
In any case, he couldn't be a big shot; which big shot didn't have a retinue of followers?
Maybe Chen Luo was a kept man.
And looking at this Zhao Ziyi, she's ordinary-looking. Even Liu Zhiwen, a small boss, wouldn't be interested in this kind of girl.
If Chen Luo was really that capable, would he be interested in a girl like this?
Zhao Ziyi was in tears. No wonder her brother was willing to let her be a spy.
It's right to be careful, but if dozens of people were afraid to act against one person just because of some doubts, what kind of life would that be?
There's still risk in killing zombies. If you're afraid to kill because of the risk, then you might as well wait to die.
Liu Zhiwen sneered, "Old classmate, get out of the car. Don't make me ask you to. Hand over anything good you have, and for the sake of our old friendship, I might let you be my follower."
To have Chen Luo, this super-rich second generation, as his underling, slapping him and kicking him from time to time – just thinking about it was exhilarating.
Chen Luo curled his lip. I can even bring myself to take Mili's bestie, let alone you.
I gave you a chance for the sake of our old friendship.
Chen Luo got out of the car with a smile, to avoid getting the car dirty.
"It's Boss's car!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"I heard that Boss went to invite a big shot from a major base to be a guest. That major base has an amazing background; no one dares to provoke them over there."
Chen Luo looked carefully and immediately smiled. He saw a middle-aged man in the leading Maybach chatting and laughing with a young man, his face clearly showing flattery.
And this young man was none other than Lin Tian.
Could this big shot with an amazing background be Lin Tian?
And who was Lin Tian's backer?
Liu Zhiwen shouted coldly, "Stand aside and be honest! If you disturb the honored guest, I'll skin you alive!"
Liu Zhiwen wanted Chen Luo to be his underling, so he didn't make a move.
Chen Luo smiled. It's good to let others do the work if you can. It's not good to dirty your own hands.
Next to Chen Luo, there was a small path, and Liu Zhiwen's base was right next to it.
Soon, Liu Zhiwen's boss, Zhang Wei, and Lin Tian got out of the car.
Liu Zhiwen and his group stood respectfully to the side, bowing.
Zhang Wei shouted, "What are you standing there for? Call him Brother Tian!"
"Brother Tian."
Two people didn't call out: Chen Luo, who had a faint smile, and Zhao Ziyi, who was looking around.
Zhang Wei's eyes looked like they were about to eat people. Why were these two underlings so clueless?
Lin Tian also looked over curiously and was immediately shocked.
Lin Tian quickly bowed, lowered his head, ran to Chen Luo, and respectfully said, "Brother, why are you here?"
Zhao Ziyi burst out laughing.
So the honored guest of this base was the boss's underling?
This was getting interesting.
Liu Zhiwen looked at Chen Luo with an incomprehensible expression. The honored guest of my boss is calling my old classmate "Brother"?
Was Chen Luo doing so well?
Impossible.
Thinking of something, Liu Zhiwen felt a chill all over his body. It seemed like he had deeply offended Chen Luo.
If he had known this, wouldn't he have been able to easily curry favor with Chen Luo by using their old classmate status?
Chen Luo said playfully, "Little Tian, you're doing great, becoming 'Brother Tian.'"
Lin Tian respectfully said, "It's all thanks to you, Brother. Everyone knows I'm Brother's man. Who would dare not give Brother face?"
Zhang Wei also realized what was happening and said with his head lowered, "Hello, Leader Chen. It's an honor to meet you. Would you do me the honor of allowing me to fulfill my duty as the host?"
Zhang Wei had also inquired about Lin Tian's background today, and it was this Chen Luo.
Chen Luo smiled. What good things could you have to offer me?
Chen Luo patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and pointed at Liu Zhiwen, "This guy wanted to rob me, but he's my old classmate. Little Tian, you understand what I mean, right?"
Lin Tian nodded.
What was Brother's status, and what was this trash's status? How could he let Brother do it himself?
Chen Luo smiled faintly, "I have other things to do. You take care of it."
Liu Zhiwen knelt down with a thud, "Old classmate, spare me! We're classmates!"
Lin Tian coldly pulled Liu Zhiwen away, "Don't bother Brother."
Chen Luo drove away, leaving triumphantly.
Once Chen Luo left, Lin Tian regained his aura of a big shot, took a puff of smoke, and said extremely coldly, "This person offended my Brother. He must die. Zhang Wei, what do you say?"
Zhang Wei opened his mouth, "Liu Zhiwen didn't know Leader Chen's identity. Ignorance is bliss, right? Give him a chance. How about breaking one of his legs?"
Liu Zhiwen was sent out by Zhang Wei to be a robber. If he didn't protect him at all, what would his subordinates think?
Lin Tian snorted coldly, "Are you sure?"
Looking at Lin Tian's cold expression, Zhang Wei felt a chill. Lin Tian was someone he couldn't afford to offend. There was no room for negotiation on this matter.
Zhang Wei waved his hand, "Liu Zhiwen offended Leader Chen. I'll leave him to Brother Tian to handle."
Liu Zhiwen's eyes widened. He originally thought Chen Luo was getting worse and worse, but he didn't expect that even one of his underlings was someone his boss wouldn't dare to offend.
A slap landed heavily on Liu Zhiwen's head, and Liu Zhiwen died miserably on the spot.
Zhang Wei was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Tian, you don't think our alliance will be affected, right?"
Lin Tian sneered, "Offended my Brother and still want to form an alliance? Keep dreaming."
It had been a while since he had expressed his loyalty to Chen Luo, and it was difficult for Lin Tian to come up with supplies that would move Chen Luo.
Thinking of something, Lin Tian sneered inwardly.
He didn't act on the spot but instead went back and gathered his men, easily uprooting Zhang Wei's entire base and wiping out all its members.
Ever since witnessing Chen Luo easily take down Zheng Jin and Wang Long's joint attack, Lin Tian was even more determined to cling to Chen Luo.
I am Brother's dog. I'll do whatever Brother tells me to do.
So what if I'm a dog? Many people don't even have this opportunity.
As long as I lick well, there will be a place for me, Lin Tian, even in the apocalypse.
I have to find an opportunity to show Brother my merits.
