Xiao Luoan listened as she slowly recounted the events of the past.
It turns out their connection dates back a thousand years...
"That white jade sculpture of Yunjian Mountain was carved by you, stroke by stroke, in your previous life."
She must have been in the world for a short time.
She spoke slowly of the past, her tender affection flowing around them, as if taking them back to that time.
Xiao Luoan had no memories of the past, but from the first moment he saw Si Jinyan, he felt a strong sense of familiarity.
He looked down at the person in his arms, a gentle smile appearing on his incredibly beautiful face.
"I'll have to go check out my skills another day."
"OK!"
Go and see the statue he sculpted for her.
Before we knew it, the moonlight gradually sank, casting a shadow over the whole world.
A layer of black fog shrouded the abandoned chemical plant in the west of the city.
A black face materialized.
"Hehehe! I still made it out, hahahaha!"
"Red Lotus, you can't escape."
"Your karmic fire will burn the entire earth!"
Si Jinyan seemed to hear a sound and was startled awake from his dream.
She did some quick calculations with her fingers, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
The great demon king suddenly burst forth, accompanied by resentment.
The capital is in trouble...
She hurriedly sent a message in the group to inform the senior management.
The Taoist sect members must all come to the capital tomorrow; a fierce battle is about to take place here.
The source of the fierce battle, however, came from the manipulators behind the chemical plant.
Si Jinyan couldn't fall asleep again in the latter half of the night. She got up and began drawing talismans at her desk, just in case.
She drew stacks of talismans and placed them aside; she was indeed very strong now.
However, if the Great Ghost King is attached to those resentful spirits, she will find it difficult to remove him.
I only hope that Zhou Yichen can bring the person behind this to justice for the sake of the people of the capital.
...
The night was so dark it seemed to drip water, and Si Jinyan painted for three hours straight.
She got up and went to Xiao Luoan's room.
"Has something happened?"
As soon as she appeared, Xiao Luoan opened her eyes.
He could sense the heavy aura surrounding Si Jinyan.
He stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his embrace.
"Yes, the capital is about to face a catastrophe."
Si Jinyan leaned against him and said in a deep voice.
A single misstep could result in millions of corpses and rivers of blood.
"Zhou Yichen doesn't have the guts to arrest the people behind that chemical plant."
Xiao Luoan held her tightly with one hand and stroked her beautiful face with the other.
Its skin is as smooth and delicate as cream, making it irresistible to touch.
The sight of fingertips lightly tracing a path would surely evoke many thoughts in onlookers.
However, the two were only talking about the chemical plant at that moment.
"Even the Xiao family couldn't...?"
Si Jinyan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Well, it's not that we can't move, but that we can't break this balance."
Xiao Luoan said.
Once the strange balance among the upper echelons is broken, it will be devoured by other forces, potentially leading to a situation where one side becomes dominant.
"They must be from the Lu family! That mysterious Lu family!"
Si Jinyan asked.
His eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh at the injustice of the world.
"Yes, Lu Yi, the second master of the Lu family, is the director of the Safety Supervision Bureau. He accepted bribes from the chemical plant owner and did not strictly enforce the standards."
Seeing that she was so persistent about this matter, Xiao Luoan told her everything.
"Before this incident, some employees at the chemical plant reported that the dust handling was inadequate, resulting in a large number of employees contracting pneumoconiosis, and some even dying as a result."
"But Lu Yi suppressed this matter, so it can be said that Lu Yi was an accomplice in this bombing case."
"Damn it! How can someone who holds a position without doing any work, a mere monkey in a crown, be allowed to live so freely and happily? Is it simply because he's a member of the Lu family?"
Si Jinyan was a little angry. Her hands were clenched tightly, and she almost bit her teeth to pieces.
She was determined to seek justice for the victims of those chemical plant deaths.
But she wasn't alone...
She looked up at Xiao Luoan and asked, "If I get involved, won't that put the Xiao family in a difficult position?"
Si Jinyan was afraid of affecting his senior brother and Xiao Luoan.
“We are one family. Do what you want. The Lu family wouldn’t dare to make any moves against the Xiao family.”
Xiao Luoan patted her back and said softly.
She has absolutely no idea about her boyfriend's abilities!
Having been rooted in the capital for a century, how could it lack cultural heritage?
"I'm in a very passive position now. The Jiang family is disobedient and insists on starting construction, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Although Si Jinyan knew that Lu Yi was the person behind it all, she was helpless at the moment.
"I will stay with you."
One word is enough.
She fell asleep in Xiao Luoan's arms, perhaps finding a sense of peace and comfort there.
West of the city
The Jiang family held a groundbreaking ceremony here, and the chemical plant looked perfectly fine during the day.
A Taoist priest performed a ritual to ensure the project was completed smoothly.
As the largest investor in this project, Jiang Feng will definitely be there.
However, Jiang Xiuye, the eldest son of the Jiang family, was not present.
Everything seemed normal.
Jiang Xiuye sat inside a Cullinan, his face cold and indifferent, seemingly lost in thought.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, he had his driver take him to Feiyang Media Company.
