The claim that many explosives were buried in the clouds and water is, of course, false.
Neither Loren nor Gu Qingshan would dare to gamble their lives on Qin Sheng and Fu Jingheng's courage.
But for Qin Sheng, it doesn't matter whether it's fake or real; the fake can become real.
A single bolt of lightning struck, blasting away most of the Cloud Water Pavilion, burying most of the people the two had brought under the rubble.
This includes Loren and Gu Qingshan themselves.
However, the two were protected by their subordinates and retreated quickly, so they didn't die, but they were both seriously injured.
Gu Qingshan was hit in both legs. When the police finally arrived and rescued him more than half an hour later, his legs were already a bloody mess and were likely beyond repair.
Moreover, before the police could take him to the hospital, Xuan Yuanjing arrived with military personnel and arrested Gu Qingshan on a series of charges, including unauthorized troop deployment, violation of military discipline, and treason.
By the time Gu Jihai arrived after hearing the news, the person had already been taken away, and he was unable to see his son one last time.
In a state of great anxiety, he rushed to Compound No. 1 for help.
And Loren.
As the current head of the Hollis family in the periphery of the Americas, Loren has stayed in China for a long time and has been involved in the power struggles within China on many occasions, revealing his great ambition.
At Xing Ji'an's instruction, the police, after a brief discussion, handed over Loren, who had been knocked unconscious by a falling wall hitting his chest, to the Interpol members who arrived shortly after, on the grounds of violating international treaties.
That is, it fell into Fu Jingheng's hands.
It's true what they say, fortunes change...
It's worth mentioning that during the search and rescue operation, the police discovered a large quantity of illegal drugs at the Yunshui Club. Following this lead, the investigation uncovered more and more criminal organizations and expanded the scope of the operation, pushing the situation to the brink of collapse...
These are all things to be discussed later.
At this moment, Qin Sheng and his group, who had indirectly caused and directly guided all of this, were just "rescued" and sent to the hospital for examination and emergency treatment.
...Of course nothing happened.
Even before taking action, Qin Sheng had already activated a defensive ancient array plate, and only the two private rooms where they were located remained unharmed in the entire Yunshui Pavilion.
However, the necessary decorations still need to be installed properly.
Qin Sheng had given each of them a few acupuncture needles beforehand, leaving them pale and ashen-faced. Anyone with eyes could see that they had all been severely frightened.
Everyone was speechless.
I really want to say: Sheng Sheng, we were genuinely scared, we didn't have to pretend at all!
But seeing the girl's serious expression as she received the injection, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
*
The power structure of Tiandu suffered an unprecedented reshuffle. Among them, the Tang family, where Loren's maternal family was located, the Chu family, which was the owner of Yunshuijian, and the Gu family, where Gu Qingshan was located, were the first to be affected. In addition, the families of the noble young men who attended the gathering that day were also affected to varying degrees.
However, the most affected were entertainment brokerage companies, led by Jiabo Entertainment.
Xing Ji'an arrived at his post ahead of time and personally led the investigation. Following the incident of Jiabo Entertainment detaining Xia Ziru's sister and threatening Xia Ziru, the investigation went deeper and uncovered several similar cases.
This exposed some criminal gangs that, while cloaked in the glamorous facade of the entertainment industry, were actually engaging in various illegal and disorderly activities to make money, bringing them into the public eye.
These are things for another time; the police are still searching for Xia Zitong.
Xia Zitong's situation is special. Not only is she young, but she also suffers from congenital heart disease. And now, a full thirty hours have passed since she went missing.
Qin Sheng felt that this matter was somewhat related to her, so after learning from the hospital that the police had not yet found the little girl, she went to Xing Ji'an's place without much hesitation.
He had originally intended to take on the task of finding the person, but when he saw the man in the crowd, he paused and hesitated before asking, "Dad?"
The man turned his gaze at the sound, revealing a very handsome face.
It was Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng frowned as he looked at the girl's familiar face not far away. He pushed through the crowd and walked out, stopping only in front of Qin Sheng. He said, "Didn't you say you'd go back after the checkup? Why are you back again?"
Qin Sheng glanced at Xia Ziru, who had also leaned over after seeing her, pursed her lips, and replied to Qin Zheng, "The missing girl is a friend's younger sister. I came to check on her."
Qin Zheng glanced at it and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Without pressing the matter further, he thought of something else and immediately grabbed Qin Sheng's wrist, pulling her back as he walked, saying, "Come on, come with Dad to meet someone."
Qin Sheng responded and followed her father's lead.
Watching the girl slowly walk away and gradually merge into the crowd, Xia Ziru stood there stunned.
Friend...?
As Xia Ziru's gaze shifted, a glint of light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she immediately took a step forward to follow.
The crowd had dispersed at some point, and when Qin Sheng stepped forward, she immediately saw an elderly man wearing reading glasses sitting in front of a computer, intently studying something.
The old man was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice the earlier commotion, nor did he realize that Qin Zheng had brought Qin Sheng up close to him.
Qin Zheng glanced at the old man with amusement, then turned back and gestured for Qin Sheng to be quiet.
Qin Sheng stopped talking, took two steps to the side and moved to the other side of the old man, looking at the computer screen with him.
A video was playing repeatedly on the screen. It was surveillance footage that the police had obtained from the hospital, recording the entire process from when Xia Zitong left the ward until she disappeared.
The old man watched it over and over again without blinking, until at one point his eyes lit up. He pressed the pause button and turned his head, saying, "Ah Zheng, look here! That little girl actually disappeared here! The surveillance footage has been tampered with. Look here..."
At this point, the old man suddenly realized something was wrong.
He looked at the girl in front of him who was looking down at him, paused, turned his head to look in the other direction, then turned back, then turned again, and kept turning...
After going back and forth three or four times, we finally made a decision.
"Sheng Sheng?" he called out tentatively, looking at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng was also looking at him, vaguely guessing his identity, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak.
Qin Zheng found it even funnier to see the two people staring at each other with wide eyes. He cleared his throat twice to attract their attention before saying, "It's Sheng Sheng."
He then nodded his chin at Qin Sheng: "This is Grandpa Wu."
This "five" is not the same as the "five" in the story, but Qin Sheng didn't know that. She pursed her lips and slowly called out, "Fifth Grandfather."
Wu Feng's eyes instantly crinkled with a smile: "Okay, okay."
Qin Sheng smiled at him and called out again, "Fifth Grandfather."
This time it went much more smoothly. Wu Feng smiled so hard his eyes were almost closed, and he patted her arm, saying, "What a good girl."
