Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 69: Chapter 69, I’ll seek justice for you

”Just a small effort, there’s no need for formalities,” Xu Wendong said as he squeezed out fresh blood, writing another mysterious rune on the stone slab.

The power of the entity at the bottom of the well had noticeably increased, and he needed to seal it again to trap it, otherwise, the entity would soon break through the seal.

If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After finishing everything, the group safely returned to the shore.

Seeing everyone return safely, Li Zhenfeng and others breathed a sigh of relief as if a weight had been lifted. Although two people were lost to South Lake on this trip, it was lucky that there weren’t more casualties, this was considered a blessing in disguise.

”Secretary Li, I, Huang, am incompetent and have disappointed you,” Huang Rulong sighed with shame written all over his face. He had dominated the Feng Shui community for many years and was well-known, having assisted countless dignitaries and officials with Feng Shui matters, but he never expected to suffer such a major setback at South Lake.

Chen Fuhua also said, ”Yes, I initially thought it was just a Feng Shui issue, who would have guessed there were supernatural phenomena here. Although the two of us can’t solve it, I believe Mister Xu has a corresponding strategy, it’s only a matter of time.”

Li Zhenfeng courteously replied, ”The two of you came from afar and have now lost two disciples. Please accept my condolences. As for the issue with South Lake...”

At this, he turned to the leader of the Qingyuan Tourism Bureau, ”Bring the redevelopment of South Lake onto the agenda, and make every effort to prevent tourists from approaching the lake.”

”Yes!”

Li Zhenfeng, appearing slightly tired, rubbed his forehead, ”It’s getting late, everyone should head back!”

They had been out in the rain for several hours without a hot meal, and by this time, many were starving.

Xu Wendong looked at Jin Jianyuan standing under a tree nearby and said with a bitter smile, ”Old man, it’s really late, let’s hurry home to sleep. Otherwise, King Kong might get worried if he can’t see you!”

Jin Jianyuan glanced at Li Zhenfeng and, in a not-so-friendly manner, said, ”If these people listened to reason, I wouldn’t have to stay here. Let’s go.” He then turned and walked into the darkness.

Watching Jin Jianyuan leave, Li Zhenfeng had a wry smile on his face, ”He doesn’t seem to like me much.”

Xu Wendong chuckled, ”You’re not money, so how can you make everyone like you?”

Li Zhenfeng’s smile gradually faded as he sighed, ”It’s my fault. If I had listened to your advice earlier, we wouldn’t have lost two people today.”

Pausing, he added, ”Please trouble yourself a little more with the matters at South Lake.”

Xu Wendong replied, ”It’s my duty.”

Li Zhenfeng turned to look in the direction Jin Jianyuan left, clenching his fist involuntarily, and said, ”That old man holds prejudices against me, and against this world.”

”I want to say, there is justice in this world.”

”Fairness exists above us.”

”All the unfair treatment you received today,”

”I will get you an explanation.”

Xu Wendong acknowledged with a nod, ”Could you first arrange someone to take me home?”

Li Zhenfeng directed, ”Director Deng, please take Wendong home!”

”Okay,” Deng Wencheng quickly assisted Xu Wendong, ”Mister Xu, I’ll escort you home.”

Previously at the South City Sub-bureau, he addressed Xu Wendong as ”Mister” due to Li Zhenfeng’s relationship, but now it came from the heart.

Thus, Xu Wendong got into the police car, leaving South Lake under Deng Wencheng’s escort. However, he did not immediately go home but asked Deng Wencheng to take him to Yangshengtang, Qingyuan’s largest herbal store.

Having sustained serious external injuries, he needed proper care, otherwise, his sister-in-law would surely worry upon her return the next day.

Only after that did Deng Wencheng take him home, and by then it was already ten at night.

Deng Wencheng supported him to the entrance of the unit, lit a cigarette, and said, ”Mister Xu, Zhao Sihai is dead, and South City is bound to fall into chaos. If possible, I hope that Wu Mei continues to carry the torch.”

Xu Wendong was a bit bewildered, ”This matter shouldn’t be discussed with me, should it?”

Deng Wencheng asked, ”Do you know why Secretary Li wants to manage South Lake?”

Xu Wendong concluded matter-of-factly, ”To benefit the people!”

Deng Wencheng couldn’t help laughing and crying, sometimes Xu Wendong was very smart, he could be considered versatile, like earlier when he said his injury was caused by hooligans, fully showing his high emotional intelligence.

Yet now, he felt Xu Wendong was quite naive.

Xu Wendong couldn’t resist asking, ”Is there more to it than meets the eye?”

Deng Wencheng explained, ”Indeed, this is for the benefit of the people, but how much difference can a lake make in improving the life of the people?”

”Even if South Lake is managed to become an Immortal Realm, South City is still very dilapidated!”

Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, ”So you’re saying, managing South Lake is laying the groundwork for South City? South City is going to be redeveloped?”

Earlier, when dining at Jin Zhuang, he heard Jin Jianyuan’s clansmen say that South City was definitely going to be rebuilt, but the exact timeline was uncertain.

If South City was truly redeveloped, all the folks in Jin Zhuang would become multimillionaires because the land there was at the center of South City, a place where every inch was worth gold.

Deng Wencheng took a drag from his cigarette, ”Rebuilding South City is a huge project. There’s not much else to say, just completing this project satisfactorily would be worth at least a few billion.”

”If Zhao Sihai weren’t dead, this project would probably fall into his lap. Even if others wanted to get involved, Zhao Sihai was still the top man in South City.”

”But now that he’s dead, inevitably someone with ulterior motives will eye this project.”

”However, as long as Wu Mei can step up, with her influence and ability, no one will be able to take this project from her.”

”After all, everyone knows that without Wu Mei, Zhao Sihai was just a piece of trash that couldn’t be presented.”

Xu Wendong’s gaze gradually deepened, pondering something unknown.

Deng Wencheng continued, ”If you can support Wu Mei to take the lead, I will also provide you some manageable assistance within the system’s limits. You think, if she earns big money, wouldn’t she share some with you?”

”Of course, my starting point is to maintain the public order of Qingyuan.”

Suddenly, Xu Wendong asked, ”Director Deng, is South City really going to be rebuilt?”

Deng Wencheng whispered, ”The documents have been issued, and it’ll be public in no more than three days.”

Xu Wendong also asked, ”How long did Zhao Sihai live in South City?”

Deng Wencheng thought for a moment, ”If I’m not mistaken, he has entrenched himself in South City for ten years. Well, if not ten years, it’s close.”

Xu Wendong nodded slightly, unable to help but wonder aloud, ”You say Zhao Sihai has entrenched himself in South City for up to ten years, things have been peaceful for those ten years, so why did he die inexplicably just as South City is about to be redeveloped?”

”Why did he not die sooner or later, but precisely at such a critical juncture?”

Boom!

Without any warning, a flash of lightning illuminated the darkness, also illuminating the shocked face of Deng Wencheng.
