But he underestimated the patience of modern humans and stirred up their competitive spirit.
Now I'm even more convinced there's something inside.
In addition to underwater robots, frogmen even sneaked in.
Bixi: "..."
If he eats these two humans, will the Heavenly Dao punish him again?
Bixi, thoroughly annoyed, finally transformed into human form and found Jiang Si.
"You humans are so annoying! I've been hiding in a lake, can't you just leave me alone?"
Jiang Si felt some sympathy and thought it was time to talk things out with the Lu family and the police.
Lu Xingmin can finally rest in peace. He has done enough for the Lu family, both in life and in death, and there is no need for him to continue to carry the burden of the Lu family's past.
Jiang Si arrived at the Qingtang branch and asked to see their chief.
Captain Li sensed that Jiang Si's arrival seemed to have a purpose. He called Director Liao and went up to Jiang Si, saying, "I'll take you there."
In the director's office, Director Liao stared at Jiang Si with eyes that seemed to see through everything.
"Master Jiang means that Lu Xingmin's unchanged appearance over the years is because he has been cursed?"
“Yes.” Jiang Si leaned back in her chair. “As long as his body remains incorruptible, he can forever protect the person who cast the curse.”
Director Liao didn't say whether he believed it or not, but asked, "Why would Master Jiang help Lu Xingmin?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Of course I can't stand people using others' names to do harmful things."
"If Director Liao needs it, I can also help you find that Taoist priest who said he would help people back then."
Jiang Si gave him an address.
Director Liao glanced at the address and name, his expression unchanged: "Then thank you, Master Jiang."
As she left, Jiang Si thought for a moment and then reminded them, "Let's keep Qingtang Reservoir quiet and not disturb the creatures down there. People have lived down there for so long; it wouldn't be good to frighten them."
Director Liao: "..."
I had a feeling there was something hidden in what he said.
But since we initially thought there was something at the bottom of the reservoir, and now it's man-made, they probably won't go down again, right?
There was no other reason than that, according to the frogmen who went down there, someone was spanking their buttocks.
After Jiang Si left, Director Liao leaned back in his chair and looked the address up and down.
If he remembered correctly, he had also come to this place with his wife. It was a very famous Taoist temple, and this man was the abbot. He had even chatted with him for a few minutes back then.
Overall, he was very cultured and spoke in a very mystical way. Judging from the incense offerings, he must be quite powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have so many believers.
But no matter what, we still need to request assistance in the investigation.
When they arrived, they wore plain clothes to avoid disturbing others.
When the people below heard that they needed to speak with their master, they said apologetically, "Master left a few days ago to attend the Dharma assembly."
"Which day?" the detective asked.
I feel like the timing of this event is too coincidental.
Four days ago.
Their hearts sank; four days earlier was the day Lu Xingmin was discovered.
If it's too much of a coincidence, it must be intentional.
They immediately called the local Taoist Administration Bureau, and the reply was: "We don't have any religious ceremonies to hold recently."
Well, it seems they've run away.
Jiang Si then gave Director Liao another address.
This time, Director Liao remained silent for even longer. He asked, "Master Jiang, are you sure you didn't give me the wrong thing?"
“Of course not,” Jiang Si said with a smile. “In addition, I want to report that Abbot Liang is a hypocrite who uses Taoist magic to deceive multiple women.”
Holy crap, this is a serious crime.
Director Liao immediately issued a search warrant and went to the Lu family's residence to conduct a search.
Believing that the most dangerous place is the safest place, Liang Mancai secretly sneaked into the Lu family a few days ago.
The Lu family has an old house that is usually uninhabited.
Grandma Lu said she wanted to live a quiet life and explicitly forbade anyone from entering.
Inside the old house, Old Mrs. Lu said anxiously, "Is there any way at all? Xingmin's body is going to be cremated in a few days!"
If you cremate, wouldn't everything be lost?
Grandma Lu was unwilling to accept this.
Liang Mancai leisurely took a sip of tea: "No need to rush. His five elements have been around for so many years, even if he is cremated, it will not affect him in the slightest."
"Moreover, the protection he has given to the Lu family over the years will not dissipate."
The old lady was relieved.
Liang Mancai gave her a furtive glance.
That old hag! I told her not to be greedy, but she wouldn't listen. Lu Xingmin is such a kind person. If you want to take away his good fortune, you have to do it quietly. But she's so ostentatious, overdrawing so much in advance. Heaven will surely punish them!
Fortunately, it's not too late.
He only gave a small portion of Lu Xingmin's protection to the Lu family; he took the rest.
Looking at the golden light still shimmering in his hand, Liang Man nodded in satisfaction.
Because of this, no one can touch him.
However, his smugness was short-lived, as he watched as the golden light in his hand began to flicker.
? ? ?
how so.
Liang Mancai stared wide-eyed at everything in his hands in disbelief.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Grandma Lu also received an urgent call. The company's head called and said, "Something bad has happened. The auditors from the Qianhai project came to investigate and found that there was tax evasion."
"how so?"
When they were working on this project, they faced a temporary shortage of funds, so they had some crooked ideas, thinking they could make up for it later. How did this suddenly come to light?
She even had her own grandson supervise this project.
The alarm clock at the villa also went off.
Through the screen, they could clearly see several tall men standing outside.
The one leading the group was Captain Li.
Captain Li is fierce. He's been working so hard these past few days investigating the case that his eyes are bloodshot. When he suddenly appears on camera, he could scare people to death.
Inside the house, Liang Mancai and Old Mrs. Lu exchanged a glance, seeing a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
When Lu Xingquan received the news, the two had already been taken back to the police station.
Unable to find Mrs. Lu through the company's management, they turned to Lu Xingquan, the former chairman.
Lu Xingquan was extremely busy.
"Who approved these in the first place?"
Faced with his questioning, the subordinates dared not utter a word.
No, can't you two explain yourselves? Don't make things difficult for these working people!
"I'll deal with it when I get back."
Lu Xingquan left after saying that.
The two are currently being interrogated.
When questioned, Old Mrs. Lu admitted that it was the Taoist priest Liang Mancai who told her to do it.
After quickly finishing her interrogation, Old Mrs. Lu came out and saw Lu Xingquan. She immediately questioned him, "Why aren't you at the company? What are you doing here?"
Lu Xingquan felt that his mother was becoming more and more unfamiliar to him.
"Mom, why did you do this?"
Why did you leave your older brother there?
When confronted with the questioning, Old Mrs. Lu became angry. She sneered, "If it weren't for me, the Lu family would have collapsed long ago. How dare you question me?"
Lu Xingquan sighed helplessly: "Mom, the Lu Group may not be able to be saved."
