Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 646: Chapter 645, The Wise are Trapped by Their Own Wisdom

Under the moonlit night,

The young man had his hands in his pockets with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth.

The corner of his lips lifted slightly, giving rise to a charming yet somewhat sinister smile.

Rather than walking along the sea,

It seemed as if the gentle waves had delivered him ashore; the scene was eerie and uncanny, making one shiver involuntarily.

The young man’s lips parted slightly, and his magnetic voice emerged, ”Vice Mayor Jiang, so late at night, where are you heading?”

Jiang Yuanbo’s face darkened, ”Xu, given the situation, why bother with such pretense?”

Xu Wendong shrugged, smiling as he said, ”Alright, enough pretending. I’m laying my cards on the table. I killed the people on the Ocean Voyager No.3, I killed the villagers of Jiang Family Village, and those uranium pieces are in my hands too.”

”It was truly you!” Jiang Yuanbo’s eyes exuded a cold killing intent, ”I knew you wouldn’t let this go easily, but I’m puzzled as to how you uncovered all this.”

Jiang Yuanbo had always been wary of Xu Wendong, regarding him as a significant threat, and now, his suspicions were confirmed.

The other villagers of Jiang Family Village looked at Xu Wendong with eyes full of endless killing intent, itching to tear him into pieces to vent their hatred.

Xu Wendong: ”You shouldn’t have worshiped the Seven Lucky Gods!”

”I don’t understand!” Jiang Yuanbo said softly, ”Even if we worshiped the Seven Lucky Gods, how did you come to know this?”

He knew Xu Wendong had visited the village twice,

Once even using a drone.

But with the strict guards in the ancestral hall, it was difficult to spy on the statue of the Seven Lucky Gods even with a drone.

Xu Wendong disdainfully said, ”It’s appalling you lived in Great Xia all your life and don’t know that Great Xia’s cultivators can use Soul Force to sense their surroundings.”

Jiang Yuanbo’s pupils suddenly trembled, and a sense of crisis arose in his heart. He hadn’t expected Xu Wendong to be the legendary cultivator.

On second thought, it made sense.

This kid could kill the people on the Ocean Voyager No.3 without anyone knowing, which was something impossible for ordinary people.

Not to mention that he could walk on the sea.

Xu Wendong: ”Secondly, there’s the Eight Dragons Hall.”

”Heh!”

”Just a deformed long critter, yet you have the nerve to call it a dragon?”

”Does it deserve that?”

An old man flew into a rage, ”Shut up, do not slander the Divine Beast!”

Everyone has their beliefs, and in their hearts, the Eight-Forked Serpent was an untouchable existence.

Xu Wendong’s remark about a deformed long critter deeply angered these fanatics.

Xu Wendong didn’t bother with the old man and looked at Jiang Yuanbo instead, ”Vice Mayor Jiang, you’re a smart person, but have you ever heard the saying, ’A clever person may be hoisted with their own petard’?”

Jiang Yuanbo frowned.

Xu Wendong: ”You shouldn’t have led me to Nangong Mountain, shouldn’t have let me discover that gold mine by sheer chance!”

”Because then I was thinking, if you knew about Nangong Mountain’s gold mine, could you also be aware of other mineral veins? Could you already be mining them?”

Jiang Yuanbo’s face instantly turned waxy pale.

Xu Wendong continued, ”However, mining isn’t a small-scale affair, you must conceal it to achieve your goals.”

Jiang Yuanbo said softly, ”So, from then on, you suspected we were secretly mining?”

Xu Wendong: ”Yes, but I didn’t expect that your mined veins were uranium, and I certainly didn’t expect those uranium mines were in Jiang Family Village.”

”That’s my mistake, my oversight.”

”In fact, I could have associated these matters before, since you’ve already given us plenty of information.”

”For instance, even though Jiang Family Village’s villagers didn’t work outside, why were there only the elderly and children in the village? Where did the young and strong go?”

”Moreover, why is the average lifespan of males in Jiang Family Village only over fifty years? Is that reasonable?”

Jiang Yuanbo said softly, ”How do you know these?”

Xu Wendong laughed, ”If Qin Chu Nian hadn’t fallen, I certainly wouldn’t have known these, after all, he was the head of the public security agency. Without his authorization, ordinary people can’t know these things.”

”But the problem is, now the head of public security is Vice Mayor Wang’s person!”

Witnessing Jiang Yuanbo’s shocked expression, Xu Wendong said, ”Yes, I’m very close to Vice Mayor Wang. Moreover, even Vice Governor Chen’s recovery and return to the provincial capital were all due to my behind-the-scenes planning.”

”Your transparent planning and stealthy maneuver were indeed eye-opening!” Jiang Yuanbo’s face showed a hint of a bitter smile, ”I thought your relationship would be bad.”

Xu Wendong laughed, ”You just said that it’s what you thought. In fact, our relationship is great!”

Jiang Yuanbo’s gaze at Xu Wendong was solemn. Although he had always been wary of Xu Wendong, he hadn’t expected this young man, after entering Haicheng, to use Wang Jun as a pawn to stir the political scene.

He also didn’t expect Wang Jun to play such an important role.

Xu Wendong continued, ”There’s one more thing you may not know, Director Shen Wenhui’s illness has been cured, and not only that, even the suggestion I made about building a seawater power plant in Jiang Family Village was informed to me by him.”

”Although he had a sudden stroke, you and I both know it’s not that simple.”

He paused, looking at the moon in the west, ”Shen Wenhui’s consciousness once wandered into a Mortal Purgatory, where corpses piled up like mountains, and a Blood Sea rolled in waves, and it was because of that scene that he suffered a ruptured cerebral artery compressing nerves and thus had the stroke people talk about!”

”After all, the scene was too shocking for an ordinary person, and most who saw it would be scared to death!”

”You peered into his memories?”

At that moment, a thin old man, leaning on a cane, stepped out, his face pale, giving off a sense of being at his last.

However, he had a pair of dead, unblinking eyes that were hard to meet directly.

Xu Wendong showed a hint of hatred, ”The heavens are watching what people do!”

”Do you truly believe what you’ve done is flawless?”

At this point, a powerful murderous intent surged from within him.

In an instant,

The fierce wind howled.

Even the seawater became turbulent.

The intense murderous intent made everyone feel as if the air thinned, creating an illusion of near suffocation.

It also gave the illusion that the handsome man in front of them transformed into a merciless demon who could kill with a single glance.

Jiang Yuanbo looked at the cane-holding old man with respect and said, ”Third Uncle, please intervene and slay this child!”

Jiang Xing grinned, showing a spine-chilling smile, ”I’ve killed hundreds of Great Xia People in my life, but never a Great Xia cultivator. Killing you should feel quite an accomplishment!”

With that, he struck the ground heavily with his cane.

In an instant,

An icy wind burst forth from the cane, echoing with ghostly wails across the heavens and earth!
