Chapter 191 I'm sorry, I was too superfluous.
No matter what Shi Lang thought to himself, hitting someone was out of the question, and cursing was out of the question too; someone simply couldn't bear to do it.
"Did you feel uncomfortable after spitting out that mouthful of blood?"
"No. Those bolts of lightning can change my constitution. I feel great now, my whole body feels good, it just hurts when they strike."
Feng Tianyu was both heartbroken and angry: "I'm teaching you a lesson for telling everyone everything. Will you dare to do it again next time?"
"...I wouldn't dare."
Standing to the side, Shi Lang, who had just been fed a huge amount of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), thought: "..." This isn't a girlfriend! This bastard is clearly raising this girl like a daughter!
"Ahem... excuse me for disturbing you two."
When he was born, both of them were stunned for a moment before they turned their attention to him only a little.
"Oh, I forgot you were still here."
"..." I'm sorry, I was just being superfluous.
Ye Wanxi was rather shy, so she took the initiative to greet Shi Lang: "Hello, I'm Ye Wanxi, and I'm his..."
"My fiancée, the girl I'm pursuing."
"..." She's already spoiling me this much when she's just a potential girlfriend, what will she be like when we become a couple...
Shi Lang shuddered involuntarily. He never expected that his childhood friend was actually... a love-obsessed person?
"Hello, I am Shi Lang, a friend of Tianyu. May I ask what exactly happened? You really..."
"He was struck by lightning."
"If you really got struck by lightning, then what will you do...?"
"It's a long story, but to put it simply, I possess some abilities that ordinary people don't have. Because I revealed heavenly secrets, I was punished and struck by lightning. However, Heaven granted me a sliver of hope, allowing me to survive this tribulation and even receive some blessings. But..."
Feng Tianyu picked up where Ye Wanxi left off, his eyes darkening as he said, “However, I don’t want them to think that Yuanyuan’s actions are justified, and I don’t want them to think that the price Yuanyuan paid for this was too small, so small that it is not comparable to the wealth and glory of some people.”
Few people feel pain unless they are struck by lightning.
His Yuanyuan was able to withstand nine bolts of lightning, which was not only due to the favor of Heaven, but also because she had some abilities of her own. Even so, she still suffered a lot.
But some people don't think that way. They only care about whether Ye Wanxi will die. If she dies, she will lose everything. But if she doesn't die, she will only be missing an arm or a leg, or even just suffer some minor injuries.
If they encounter a similar situation again, will they still force her to speak up?
Feng Tianyu never hesitated to speculate maliciously about others, because he had seen far too much evil in this world. For certain things, some people would do anything.
He absolutely... absolutely cannot let Yuanyuan fall into such a predicament.
After listening to their words, Shi Lang still looked somewhat dazed: "Are you sure what you're saying is true? Or are you playing a trick on me?"
He can understand what they're saying individually, but when they're put together, he can't understand it at all!
Ye Wanxi frowned and pondered for a moment: "Um, do you have a cell phone? Who among you brought a cell phone?"
Shi Lang understood what he meant: "I have one, what do you need a phone for?"
"There should be news about it soon. Type 'North City tsunami' or 'North City earthquake' into your search."
"Tsunami?"
"earthquake?"
Shi Lang quickly checked the news on his phone.
As expected, half an hour ago, several official media outlets successively released information announcing that several earthquakes had occurred in Beicheng more than an hour earlier, with tremors felt in many areas of Beicheng. Subsequently, a bustling town in Beicheng was directly hit by a massive tsunami. The tsunami caused countless houses to collapse, high-rise buildings to be flooded, and severe economic losses. Fortunately, all local residents had been safely evacuated three days prior, and there were no casualties.
This news immediately drew criticism from all sides.
After all, earthquakes and tsunamis are natural disasters, and humans simply cannot make specific predictions about them.
Given this, how could the masses be evacuated three days in advance? Was the official report deliberately misleading?
However, locals soon came forward to offer their own accounts.
Anyone questioning this is probably an idiot. I'm from this town, which is quite prosperous with a large permanent population of about 200,000 to 300,000. Three days ago, there was indeed a plan to evacuate us, supposedly due to concerns about continuous heavy rains causing seawater to overflow and cause flooding. Everyone was confused and unwilling to cooperate at the time. Later, when it was forced upon us, many people were still dissatisfied, and it almost escalated into a physical altercation.
[Yes, yes, where are you from upstairs? I'm from the east side. Back then, when they said there might be a flood, my grandma laughed and said she'd lived here for fifty or sixty years and seen much heavier and longer rains, but there had never been a flood. She even said the higher-ups were just messing around, asking people to move without any evidence. Now, after seeing the tsunami video, she's stunned and has started praising them instead.]
[Your grandma is exactly like my dad. She was extremely reluctant when they asked her to move. And after two or three days of moving, nothing happened on the other side, which made my dad very angry. He works in construction, and if it was delayed too long, he might have to pay a penalty for breach of contract. Now, after watching that video, he's completely devastated. When he came over just now, he was still muttering, "Thank goodness we moved, otherwise we wouldn't have had the life to enjoy our money."]
[Those who question the authenticity of the relocation can search for the hashtags #BeichengForcedEvacuation# and #BeichengLockdown#. Although these hashtags were suppressed and removed at the time, and many local comments were deleted, some still slipped through the net. However, due to the large number of people criticizing them at the time, many have probably been proven wrong now.]
Please be forgiving of the harsh comments you saw back then, and watch your words. Think of their destroyed homes, think of the suffering they've endured these past few days; they're probably grateful to have survived and full of regret now.
Some people saw these comments and indeed searched for those two topics. Although the topic channel had long been deleted, some of their posts on Weibo were still there, which was enough to prove that they had indeed proven it long ago.
Some of them were confused, some were angry, and some even cursed because their lives were affected. But now, if you go to their homepage, you will see that their latest posts are all about how they survived the ordeal and praising the local government's foresight.
In response, most people offered their well wishes and comforted them with the saying, "Those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune in the future."
After carefully reading the news, Shi Lang shared the same doubts as those who questioned it: why were so many people in the town able to foresee the tsunami and evacuate in advance?
Thinking back to what Ye Wanxi and the other person had just said, his expression changed drastically: "Could it be that what you call revealing heavenly secrets is... is..."
"Um."
"..."
Even though Shi Lang was usually calm, he couldn't help but imagine his hot-tempered younger brother swearing at this moment.
Damn, where did that beast Feng Tianyu find such a treasure?!
