Chapter 1372 - 1371: Thoughtful Lin Wan

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1371: Thoughtful Lin Wan

Upon hearing Shen Ying’s speculation, Si Lingxi also fell silent; she couldn’t judge everyone by her own standards.

For example, in Phoenix Mountain, Kong Lan indeed idolized her and worked hard for ascension, but the four maids including Red Crane had life goals merely to serve her well.

Also, in Lu Zheng’s sect, White Cloud Temple, Dongyangzi was out of the question, while Master Qing Song and Master Yuanlin were devoted to cultivation, but Master Yue Chen had begun to let himself go.

Great Joyful Temple wasn’t as good as her Phoenix Mountain, much less the Central Plains Major Sect like White Cloud Temple. For an ordinary monk like him to abandon the path ahead and indulge in the present was quite reasonable.

Some people are beneficial, like the four maids including Red Crane; some people are not a bother, like Master Yue Chen; and some people are harmful, like Master Guiyin of Great Joyful Temple.

"Dinner time!"

As they were talking, Lu Zheng’s voice came from the kitchen, and plates of dishes flew out from the kitchen door one by one, gently landing on the round tables placed in the front yard.

Five-Spice Roast Chicken!

Seasonal Stir-fried Veggies!

Dry-braised Perch!

Crispy Fried Chicken!

Savory Ribs!

Four Joy Meatballs!

Fragrant Celery, Cashew and Wild Lily!

Each dish was made in several plates, and there was one on each table for everyone to share.

"Wow! It smells amazing!"

"It’s worth dying to taste the young master’s cooking!"

"You’re already dead..."

"I love young master’s ribs the most, Xiaocui’s just don’t have the same taste!"

"Hmph, then don’t eat mine next time!"

"Oh, don’t be angry, Sister Xiaocui, come on, open your mouth, have a little rib!"

Fan Boyu took a sip of the Flower Carving wine and couldn’t help but sniff.

A scent of spicy and aromatic spiritual Qi suddenly permeated the manor.

"Hmm?"

Even Si Lingxi’s eyes lit up, let alone Fan Boyu.

"Haha, Spicy Boiled Snake Slices!"

Lu Zheng walked out of the kitchen with a laugh, and a few porcelain bowls of dishes were floating beside him in mid-air.

"Today’s main dish, filled with spiritual Qi!"

Fan Boyu nodded continuously, swallowing a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

The Eighteen Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens were also all smiles; such good dishes weren’t something one could eat every time.

Today’s a joyous occasion! We should celebrate!

...

"Bashi!"

Lu Zheng lay on the couch in the living room in a typical Beidu lazy pose.

"Has the heat of the Mianbei lightning incident passed?" Lu Zheng asked.

Lin Wan couldn’t help but pout, "You’ve only been out for a few days, how could the heat pass? Moreover, web novels based on the incident have almost taken over a certain novel site, and some of them are crazily drawing traffic on a short video platform."

Lu Zheng, "..."

In fact, it’s been two or three months since Lu Zheng used lightning to clear the Electric Fraud Industrial Park in Mianbei, but he didn’t expect the long tail effect of the event to last so long.

"This isn’t the Double Fish Jade Pendant or Northeast Fallen Dragon, with no evidence after a long time."

Lin Wan said, "This kind of mysterious event happened nearby, with ten thousand witnesses; how long do you think the interest will last?

Some even started selling live streams, using their experiences in Mianbei as bait every day, while speculating about the reasons for the lightning."

Lin Wan complained, "Wasn’t the Los Angeles incident with ten thousand people spontaneously combusting overseas causing little discussion domestically, making you think it’s no big deal, so you did it again?"

Of course, Lu Zheng wouldn’t admit Lin Wan was right.

"How could that be? The Los Angeles incident was also quite significant; we even sent them a Holy Artifact, but without evidence and progress, it still faded away publicly.

This time is the same, I just thought chaotic times require heavy measures, seeing how much money the people lose to those scams over there each year, how pitiful is that?"

Lu Zheng explained, "It’s already escalated to an anti-fraud campaign nationwide; now both the government and the people are exhausted and losing money, but I saw that the authorities didn’t have any good solutions, so I went to cut the root."

"You indeed cut the root."

Lin Wan couldn’t help but laugh, "Even the real bosses behind the scenes over there all perished within two months, now there’s no way for the authorities to wash their hands of it."

The real bosses behind the Electric Fraud Industrial Park were unknown to ordinary people, and not known to typical business circles, or even small governments and organizations.

But how could they hide from major powers and top international organizations?

Maybe a few who hid the best could evade notice, but with so many people there, and also up against more than the CIA...

So, if there’s a real desire to investigate, identifying those behind the scenes is no secret, it’s just that there’s no evidence and no jurisdiction to attack.

Now, with lightning in Mianbei destroying the Electric Fraud Industrial Park, and the bosses and their families nearly wiped out within two months following,

The linkage between these two events boils down to three possibilities.

The Mianbei lightning is a natural phenomenon, and these bosses merely coincidentally encountered accidents.

The Mianbei lightning is a weather weapon, and these bosses were precisely eliminated by someone’s overseas agents.

The Mianbei lightning is the work of a superhero, and the subsequent thorough removal of evil was also by them.

Those who believe the first possibility wouldn’t know the detailed information at all.

And many suspect the second possibility strongly because of the death reasons of those bosses.

Only a few people and forces linked the event to the Red Chess River project constructed in Hua Country last year, suspecting the third possibility heavily.

Lu Zheng laughed heartily and decisively passed the buck, "You agreed to me dealing with these people, and you also suggested I make it look like an accident."

Lu Zheng was, of course, joking, but Lin Wan still gave Lu Zheng a side-eye, "Of course, it was my suggestion; suspecting the authorities did it is better than suspecting the existence of immortals in the world."

Lu Zheng’s eyes lit up, "You did it on purpose?"

"Of course, I did it on purpose."

Lin Wan laughed, "I also agreed with you clearing the Electric Fraud Industrial Park, to deter future perpetrators; but since the Mianbei lightning event would draw attention inevitably,

The suspicious looks should be directed at the most probable target, to lower our presence."

And the most likely target certainly wouldn’t be an immortal.

"Good wife, so thoughtful!"

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, then turned over, ready to pin down Lin Wan.

"Sister Lingxi is still here!"

Lin Wan exclaimed in surprise, then felt a blur in front of her eyes, and upon gathering her focus, she found herself already on the bed in the bedroom with Lu Zheng, with even the bedroom door thoughtfully closed.

"Did you do that?" Lin Wan asked.

Lu Zheng shook his head speechlessly, "Lingxi did it."

Lin Wan couldn’t help but chuckle, then her eyes sparkled, her arms forcefully pressed, her waist and abdomen thrust, and she flipped over to press Lu Zheng beneath her.
