“These pretty boys are the least intimidating. They’ll probably confess everything as soon as they walk into the task force,” Wang Xudong said confidently.
A loud "bang!" came from Sun Minghui's desk.
Then Sun Minghui's angry shouts echoed throughout the entire floor: "Wang Xudong, you are a people's police officer, not a bandit. I'm warning you one last time. The court sent you down here to assist in the investigation, not to let you act as you please."
“But Director Sun…” Wang Xudong wanted to argue something more.
"There are no buts. If you can find evidence of indirect or direct correlation, I will not hesitate to authorize you to summon anyone. But before that, you'd better behave yourself, or I won't mind sending this young master who came here to gain experience back to the capital."
In the end, Wang Xudong slunk out of the police station building after being reprimanded by Sun Minghui.
At this moment, Shen Lang returned to the hotel with the beauties. He had just finished showering and was walking out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel when he received a call from Sun Minghui.
"Director Sun, what brings you to call me today, you busy man?" Shen Lang asked with a smile as he answered the phone.
Sun Minghui said with a wry smile, "My dear young master Shen, you've really put me in a difficult position."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Shen Lang sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
"Young Master Shen, you know about the Zhao family's affairs, right?" Sun Minghui asked tentatively.
Shen Lang asked, puzzled, "What Zhao family? I don't know anything about them. What happened?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Sun Minghui had already formed his own judgment.
He immediately smiled and asked, "Young Master Shen, are you having a good time?"
Shen Lang laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. There are beautiful girls with fair skin everywhere on this beach. Director Sun, you should come and have some fun more often when you have time. Don't stay in the office all day."
"Haha, definitely when I have time!" Sun Minghui laughed heartily. "Then I won't bother Young Master Shen any longer."
"Okay, bye-bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
At this moment, Lin Dantong, who was in the task force, hesitated for a long time before finally dialing Shen Lang's number.
Shen Lang had just turned on the TV, intending to watch an episode of the nostalgic Ultraman Tiga, when he saw Lin Dantong's call. He hesitated for a moment but still answered.
After the call connected, Lin Dantong said, "Shen Lang."
"What's wrong, Officer Lin?" Shen Lang asked.
After a three-second silence, Lin Dantong asked bluntly, "Did you do the things that happened to the Zhao family?"
Shen Lang laughed and said, "Officer Lin, don't wrong me. I'm a law-abiding citizen."
"Then I'm relieved." Receiving Shen Lang's personal reply, Lin Dantong finally felt at ease.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two ended the call.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Lang muttered to himself, "What's wrong with this old Zhao? Doesn't he know how to cover up a body? And he calls himself an old hand?"
Then he dialed Zhang Chengyang's number.
"elder brother."
"Chengyang, have you taken care of the task I assigned you?" Shen Lang asked.
Zhang Chengyang nodded and said, "It's all taken care of. The little girl has been sent to California, USA, for treatment."
"Well, how is the Xiao family?" Shen Lang continued to ask.
“Everything is normal, there’s nothing unusual,” Zhang Chengyang said.
“Let’s give up monitoring the Xiao family,” Shen Lang said.
"Okay, sure. Where are you, bro? I'll come find you when I'm done here," Zhang Chengyang said with a smile.
"I'm in Sanya these days, and I'm planning to go abroad for a trip in a few days. If you're coming, bring your partner. Don't come alone and be a third wheel," Shen Lang said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem!" Zhang Chengyang said with a smile.
The very next day, Zhang Chengyang flew to Sanya with his new girlfriend.
Inside a five-star hotel in Sanya, Shen Lang lay on a chair by the outdoor pool, enjoying a massage from Qin Shiya.
"Shiya, how have you been feeling in your cultivation lately?" Shen Lang rarely showed concern for cultivation matters.
Qin Shiya said, "It's fine, there's nothing difficult about it."
"That's good. If anything seems amiss, be sure to let me know immediately," Shen Lang said.
"Okay!" Qin Shiya replied with a smile.
Qin Shiya now spends all her free time studying the "Heavenly Demon Strategy" given to her by Ying Zheng, to the point of almost forgetting to eat and sleep. This makes Shen Lang worry that Qin Shiya's cultivation path might go astray.
After all, even the well-informed Zhao Wuji didn't know much about the path of demonic cultivation.
"Brother, I'm here." Zhang Chengyang's voice came from behind Shen Lang and Qin Shiya while they were talking.
Shen Lang stood up and looked over, and found that Zhang Chengyang was accompanied by a tall, slender, internet celebrity-looking woman.
He immediately frowned.
Zhang Chengyang also noticed the strangeness on Shen Lang's face, and hurriedly ran to Shen Lang's side, whispering, "Brother, I was just playing around."
Seeing Zhang Chengyang's response, Shen Lang didn't say anything more. He simply gave Zhang Chengyang a warning: "Be careful not to play with fire and get burned."
"Tch, look at what you're saying. I, Young Master Zhang, have been through countless flowers without ever getting entangled with a single petal," Zhang Chengyang said smugly.
At this moment, the internet celebrity walked up to Shen Lang, extended his slender fingers, and smiled, "Hello, you must be Cheng Yang's brother! My name is Zhu Ziqi, it's nice to meet you."
Shen Lang didn't extend his hand, but smiled and replied, "Hello, my name is Shen Lang."
Zhu Ziqi walked up to Zhang Chengyang and said with a smile, "Brother Yang, your brother is really handsome!"
Zhang Chengyang said, "That's right, my brother is the most handsome man in history, a man who appears only once in ten thousand years. Even Song Yu and Pan An can't compare!"
Qin Shiya covered her mouth and chuckled.
Shen Lang smiled but didn't say anything.
Then Zhang Chengyang took out a planning map from his pocket and handed it to Shen Lang: "Brother, the Wangshanhe Villa District has already been relocated. And I have already demolished all those villas. This is the planning map I made. Take a look."
Shen Lang took the planning map, glanced at it briefly, and praised, "Not bad, very well designed."
According to Zhang Chengyang's design, the entire Qingyun Mountain would have to be demolished and rebuilt, with more than a dozen small courtyards occupying only a few dozen acres of land. Moreover, an underground spring was dug at the top of Qingyun Mountain, forming a natural lake.
And there's the peach blossom grove that Yu Xian'er loves, the bamboo forest that Shen Lang loves, the rose garden that Qin Shiya loves, the amusement park that Shuang'er loves, and the lavender garden that Xia Bingyan loves. Judging by appearances, it's a massive project worth tens of billions.
Shen Lang pointed to the location of the back mountain and said to Zhang Chengyang, "Carve twenty caves into the cliff behind the mountain and make sure they are soundproof. Then connect the passages to the main structure; I need them."
These ten cave dwellings were prepared by Shen Lang for cultivation. He prepared one for each person, including his confidant Zhang Chengyang.
Zhang Chengyang didn't ask Shen Lang what he needed twenty caves for, and readily agreed.
As always, he complied with Shen Lang's demands.
"Okay, brother, I'll tell Yongze. I'll have him supervise the construction these next few days," Zhang Chengyang said.
