339: Chapter 339 Who are you trying to fool?

"What's going on here?"

Lin Heng pointed to the situation unfolding ahead and asked Lubisang, who was beside him.

Hearing this, Lubisang frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he quickly replied.

"This... it must be some issue that cropped up during the excavation. But it's all within reason. You know, even though we Black people work hard, there are always a few bad apples."

"This sort of thing isn't uncommon. We don't need to pay it any mind."

"Oh..."

Lin Heng nodded upon hearing this, but as he watched the person being disciplined, he felt something was off.

Then...

Lin Heng soon noticed something was wrong.

Good heavens!

This is a... a Black person?!

And Su Xueer was right there pulling people apart!

Upon hearing that familiar scream, Lin Heng suddenly remembered something, and his expression immediately changed.

"Damn! Is that Long Anyou?"

He was slightly stunned internally.

Without overthinking, Lin Heng quickly led his men over.

He pulled the people apart and finally saw who was in the middle of the fray.

It was none other than Long Anyou!

"Lin Heng is here!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and then the crowd quickly parted, making space for Lin Heng.

It was as if the sea had split in two.

Lin Heng walked in without any obstruction.

Lowering his gaze, he quickly noticed Long Anyou, who had clearly taken a beating, amidst the crowd.

"What's the situation?"

Lin Heng was slightly taken aback.

He turned to ask Su Xueer and the others.

Hadn't he asked Su Xueer to watch Long Anyou carefully and take him for a walk?

How did it turn into this mess?

Hearing this, Su Xueer's expression wasn't great either. She spoke with some embarrassment:

"This... I can't explain it clearly. You should ask Old Master Chen and the others..."

As she spoke, Su Xueer glanced somewhat sheepishly at Chen Sheng and the others.

Goodness! She had nearly screamed her voice hoarse just now, but not a single one of these men was willing to stop.

Hearing this, Lin Heng quickly turned his head to look at those men.

Chen Sheng was the first one he focused on.

However, these men displayed an appearance of righteous indignation, and when questioned, they puffed out their chests, feeling completely clear in their conscience.

"We suspect this Long Anyou is doing it deliberately. He probably hasn't been here long and isn't accustomed to our local customs, or perhaps there's something unclean in his mind. We were just helping him clean up a bit."

Ah...

Now it was Lin Heng's turn to be surprised.

He looked at Chen Sheng, who was standing there looking utterly righteous, and then at Long Anyou, who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog. For a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched.

It really was...

He didn't know how to describe his own feelings.

A feeling like wanting to laugh but being unable to.

"Hahaha... Perhaps this is a misunderstanding. Everyone got it wrong."

Huh!?

As soon as these words came out, both Long Anyou and Chen Sheng displayed expressions that showed they were very unwilling to accept it.

So the beating was for nothing??

There was still some friction between Long Anyou and Chen Sheng, and neither was willing to back down.

No one expected that the first meeting between a teacher and a student would turn out like this.

It was truly a situation that made one want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Seeing this, Lin Heng knew they wouldn't be able to reconcile things quickly, so he took Long Anyou away first.

As for Chen Sheng and the others, they still had work to do, so they didn't dwell on it, treating it merely as a 'welcome gift' for their first encounter.

...

On the way,

Lin Heng applied anti-inflammatory medicine and used an ice pack on Long Anyou. Only then did Long Anyou's severely swollen face slowly begin to recover a bit.

"In the future, don't casually talk back to Chen Sheng and the others again."

"Having lived in Africa for too long, it's inevitable that I've unconsciously blended into the atmosphere here."

"Having high martial strength is normal."

After Lin Heng finished tending to Long Anyou, he couldn't help but chuckle.

He burst out laughing.

Long Anyou, however, had a bitter expression.

"Good heavens! You can still laugh! You don't even know why I got beaten up like this!"

Seeing Lin Heng laugh, Long Anyou became furious.

He spoke almost through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Lin Heng just smiled and shook his head.

"I didn't know you guys could actually get into a fight like that!"

"You're still talking...!"

Hearing this, Long Anyou's eyes widened even more, and he roared angrily:

"If you hadn't brainwashed them, how could they be so obedient!"

"You bastard are simply a demon, you don't even spare the women!"

Upon closer thought, the current Lord of Africa was merely a puppet; the real master behind the scenes was Lin Heng!

If Lin Heng hadn't forced them, how could they be so obedient?

This guy...

Long Anyou was almost grinding his teeth!

His depressed eyes glared fiercely at Lin Heng, as if a predator were watching its prey slip away right before its eyes.

In response, Lin Heng just laughed heartily.

"You...! You still have the nerve to laugh!"

Long Anyou was furious.

If it weren't for the order from above, he wouldn't have been able to come alone to investigate the situation.

He never expected to run into something like this!

After laughing for quite a while, Lin Heng finally calmed down.

He slowly suppressed his smile, then spoke lightly:

"Director Long, I really didn't use any tricks... I'm completely innocent!"

"You...? Innocent?"

Long Anyou laughed.

He slightly flexed his wrists, adjusted his posture on the seat, tilted his neck to glance at Lin Heng, and snorted:

"Heh, don't think I don't know what kind of person you are, Lin Heng. Although you hid it well before, your true nature was completely exposed the moment you landed on the African continent!"

"If you weren't giving orders from behind the scenes, how could those Dragon's diplomats lower their status to do such dirty, tiring work?"

And they were even scrambling to do it!

Long Anyou still suspected whether his eyes were playing tricks on him!

He felt a wave of depression.

He had truly met a ghost!

At this moment, Lin Heng just smiled.

He finally understood why the other party was uncomfortable with him.

"Director Long... actually, you misunderstood. It wasn't me who required them to do this; they volunteered to do it themselves. What does it have to do with me?"

Lin Heng spread his hands helplessly, speaking with a degree of frustration.

Ah!?

Long Anyou paused, even stopping his leg from shaking.

"They volunteered??"

Who would believe that nonsense!

It made sense for the old men, but even the young girl was joining in on the hard labor?

He took a deep breath and said at length:

"Who are you trying to fool!"
