Chapter 190: Pacify People’s Hearts

No wonder it was said that the people who had left previously had not gone back up. It turned out that they were not allowed to leave this place at all.
The companions beside him did not want to make a big deal out of this, so they could not help but pull him back, “Just say a few less words. Anyway, it’s the same where we refine the pills. If it were to reach the Vice City Lord and Chief Zhao, who knows what would happen.”
This man was also a tough guy. “We’re not criminals. Why should they restrict our freedom? Even the City Lord’s Estate can’t bully people like this, right?”
The guard was also impartial and expressionless. “I’m only doing things according to the orders of the higher-ups, unless you have the approval of the higher-ups.”
Someone came out to smooth things over. “I think it’s fine. It’s not just against you. Aren’t we all staying here? There’s no way out.”
“But we didn’t do anything wrong. Why should we be locked up here like criminals? Furthermore, it’s such a dark place. Without saying anything, they brought us here. It’s simply baffling.”
What he said was quite reasonable. Many people who had some complaints earlier also voiced out in agreement. After all, as long as one person opened the door, the others would more or less have some objections in their hearts and could not help but say it.
“That’s right. We can’t just be like headless chickens, burying our heads in hard work. We’re almost going numb from refining pills.”
The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of Ren Zeyuan, general manager Zhao, and the others.
“Why are you arguing here instead of pill refinement?”
Seeing their arrival, the crowd was in a commotion for a moment. It was as if a mouse had seen a cat. One could see their usual pressure. “Greetings, Vice City Lord and general manager Zhao!”
The guard reported truthfully, “Reporting to Vice City Lord, there are people here who want to leave.”
Ren Zeyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he swept his gaze across the crowd. “Oh, is that so?” His last syllable raised and everyone heard it. For no reason, there was a sense of panic in their ears.
Even the person who said he wanted to leave at the beginning became a little timid, then, he mustered his courage and said, “Deputy City Lord, I just don’t understand. We’re not criminals. Why are you locking us up here and not allowing us to go out?”
“Restricting your personal freedom is only for your safety.”
Lin Bai agreed in his heart. Wasn’t it for their safety? If these people encountered those unknown creatures in the tunnel, they would probably become food for the monsters in one go.
There was another important reason. If they knew that there were monsters underground, they would probably panic. It would not be good for refining pills. Ren Zeyuan and the others probably did not want the matter of the monsters to be leaked. Perhaps these monsters had some connection with the City Lord.
However, Lin Bai did not understand one thing. If that was the case, why bother? Wouldn’t it be safer to keep these people above the ground instead of bringing them underground.
These people had never met before, so they naturally did not understand what Ren Zeyuan meant, “Could it be that there is still some danger here? There are so many guards here. It wouldn’t be necessary to restrict our freedom to ensure our safety, right?”
It was as if he had not expected this person to be so stubborn. He seemed to be asking for the truth. Ren Zeyuan’s expression immediately turned cold as he spoke with a stern expression.
“If you don’t want to stay here, then leave. Don’t forget why you entered the City Lord’s Estate in the first place. You can’t even stand being locked up here. If you can’t even endure this little bit of bitterness, what great things can you achieve in the future? !”
Ren Zeyuan’s entire body emitted a cold aura that carried a pressing pressure. Everyone was like quails, not daring to breathe loudly. No one dared to speak at this time to provoke him.
To put it nicely, he had left on his own accord. To put it bluntly, he had been expelled from the City Lord’s Estate. If that was the case, his future would be ruined. No matter how skilled he was in pill refinement, no one would dare to use him.
After all, he was someone who had offended the City Lord’s Estate. The forces or clans here were more or less under the City Lord’s Estate’s protection. How could they offend the City Lord’s Estate for a small figure?
When the person who had spoken earlier realized this, his face instantly turned extremely pale. He stammered and could not speak.
“Then, does anyone of you want to leave? If so, I’ll grant your wish now.”
Facing Ren Zeyuan’s sharp gaze, everyone evaded. Those who had wanted to leave began to feel regret in their hearts. Why did they have to cause such a thing? If they had refined pills quietly, such a situation would not have happened.
Seeing that no one spoke, Ren Zeyuan’s tone became much gentler.
“As long as you treat the City Lord’s strange illness, I will definitely not mistreat you. Whether it is divine weapons or cultivation techniques, you can choose any of them. The most urgent thing now is to speed up the refinement of the pills.”
Ren Zeyuan’s words were indeed effective. Everyone who came to the City Lord’s Estate hoped to gain the City Lord’s recognition. If they made a great contribution, it was possible for them to rise to the top.
Now, they were just not able to move freely. It was not a big problem. Compared to their future glory, wealth, and cultivation treasures, it was negligible.
“The Vice City Lord is right. Let’s just focus on refining pills. Why do we care so much about other things? We should treat the City Lord’s strange illness as soon as possible.”
Many people echoed Ren Zeyuan’s words. After all, sometimes it was not good to know too much.
Ren Zeyuan was very satisfied. “I am very pleased that you have such thoughts. I will report it to the City Lord. After he recovers, I will definitely reward you.”
Then, he paused and said meaningfully, “Curiosity kills the cat. So don’t go and find out why there is such a thing under the City Lord’s Estate. Don’t even try to find out about the City Lord.”
After saying that, Ren Zeyuan left. Everyone looked at each other. Although they knew that his last sentence had a deep meaning, they didn’t dare to ask any more questions. Soon, they returned to their seats and started to get busy..
