There is an island in the center of Yuanle Lake. The locals call it Jinling Island. Legend has it that a golden bell hung on it for a hundred years before mysteriously disappearing.
No one knows how the golden bell came, and no one knows how it disappeared.
But those are all legends in the past, and now Jinling Island is full of red fruit flowers.
Many people contracted land to plant orchards on it, and contracted river banks to raise fish.
In addition, it is also a place where a large number of tourists gather every year.
The small island, which is thousands of meters long, is packed with more than a dozen various farmhouses and entertainment attractions.
Although it is the age of technology, there is no sign of advanced technology here.
"Help... Help!!" Suddenly a sharp cry for help came from the river.
poof.
A shirtless man plunges headlong into the water and swims toward a young woman choking on water in the distance.
Soon, he tried his best to rescue the young woman ashore. I also lay on the river beach panting heavily, exhausted.
After resting for a while, he got up and wanted to leave.
"Stop, my cell phone is still in the water! Cell phone!!" The woman grabbed him and shouted.
"Miss, the water is so urgent, even if you take your phone up, it won't work anymore." The man said helplessly.
"Are you from the lifeguard team? I'll give you three thousand! Help me pick up my phone! Hurry up!" The woman was full of jewels, with an attitude of domineering.
"I really can't do it..." the man replied helplessly. His physical strength was not very good, and it was already a miracle to be able to save people.
"I don't care, if you don't fish up my phone, I will remember your face. Tell you, you can't run away!"
river bank.
A middle-aged man with an extremely tall and strong build, wearing brown sunglasses, followed by a young man with a slightly thinner build.
The two looked at the young man who was arguing with others from a distance.
"He is doing good deeds. But why doesn't he get good rewards?" The middle-aged man said in a low voice.
"Because of the good deeds he did, people take it for granted, right?" The young man behind him thought for a while and replied.
"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded, "Because he found the wrong person. The person he saved has not yet reached the moment of despair. So I am not grateful to him."
"The most desperate moment?" The young man was puzzled.
"It's the same as the house of the person we are going to." The middle-aged man watched the rescuer being pulled by the clothes of the woman and refused to let go.
"Then what if the situation itself will not develop to such an extreme?" The young man asked again.
"It's very simple."
The middle-aged man walked over slowly.
puff.
He grabbed the hair of the woman who was splashing violently, lifted it straight up, and threw it into the water.
poof.
ah ah! ! ! help! !
The screams and calls for help sounded again.
The man from the lifeguard team was shocked, but when he saw the woman who fell into the water, he instinctively wanted to dive into the water to save her.
Boom!
The middle-aged man slashed the side of the man's neck with his palm, and the man fell unconscious on the spot and fell to the ground.
"Now, she is desperate." The middle-aged man calmly looked at the woman struggling in the water, turned around and walked slowly into the distance.
"Master Wang, will she die?" The young man couldn't help asking. Looking at the woman who was constantly struggling, he seemed a little impatient.
"Who knows." Lu Sheng said flatly. "Life is a choice again and again. In the choice, we bear the variables and consequences that follow."
He paused.
"Like her, it's only a matter of time before she encounters a situation where no one can save her. I just help her a little earlier."
The young man felt choked for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Although he always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Let's go." Lu Sheng led him towards the distant dock area.
He knew that this was the master restoring the situation and giving the lifeguard and the woman a new chance. Opportunities for new choices.
This time they came to this small island for the same purpose.
The core members of the Platund family live on this island all year round. The core of this big family that controls the largest scale stone mining industry in the province is a total of three people.
Olin Pura Shield, Caesar Pura Shield, and Lizepura Shield.
These three people controlled 99% of the mining resources of the entire family. Rather than saying that they belong to the Platund family, it is better to say that Platund was brilliant because of their rise.
And among these three, led by Li Zeplatun, he led the other two to control the entire family business.
Jiumingtang's offensive is very comprehensive and huge, and it is also very covert. Now the Platund family has not noticed it yet.
And Lu Sheng brought Wei Handong here for another purpose.
The two walked along the dock area for a while, along the shore, and soon saw a small group of riverside villas.
This villa occupies almost half of the entire island.
"It's here." Wei Handong looked at the map and compared it. "Li Ze lives here all year round. He pretends to be an ordinary young white-collar worker, leaves early and returns late. Until now, his family members here don't know that he is the biggest controller of Plimpton. His assets are tens of billions."
"This is the life he chose." Lu Sheng said lightly. "Give up fame, wealth, enjoyment, and luxury, just to keep the plainness and warmth. He did the right thing, because the latter is far more rare than the former."
Wei Handong also realized something at this time.
"Indeed, luxury, fame and wealth, enjoyment, these are available at any time as long as there is power and wealth. But the latter is completely gone once it is lost. Because these are things that money cannot buy."
"It's good for you to understand. Money is just a prop used to exchange resources. Power can't buy back the lost sincerity and time."
Lu Sheng strode slowly towards the villa area.
At the gate guard, several security guards quickly approached, intending to interrogate the origin, but Lu Sheng just raised his hand and waved silently.
All the security guards were blinded for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, there was no one in sight.
They returned to their posts as if nothing had happened, and continued to do what they hadn't finished just now.
There are many elderly people in the community sitting outside playing chess and chatting. There are also old people playing with their children in public facilities.
The weather is cool and the temperature is suitable, and there are not a few people who go out.
When Lu Sheng and the two walked to the front door of a building, a little girl with twin ponytails was jumping up and down the stairs.
Seeing Lu Sheng and the two, the little girl slowed down her pace, as if she was a little scared. Because the figures of the two are a bit too exaggerated.
Lu Sheng was stronger than before. His height was close to two meters. Standing in front of an adult, he was able to cover him. When he came out this time, he didn't hide his real body shape. In Anming City, he actually used exercises like shrinking bones all the time to keep his body shape.
But after you come out, you don't have to restrain yourself.
Wei Handong behind him was about 1.8 meters tall, and his muscles could not be concealed even with a loose T-shirt. A faint decisive color gradually formed on his body. This is the aura formed by searching for scale stones with Baijuncheng recently.
The two blocked the stairs, almost blocking the entire exit.
"Don't be afraid. Little friend, tell uncle, where is Li Ze's house?" Lu Sheng smiled, lowered his head slightly and said to the little girl.
There are four families in this villa, so if you don't ask clearly, you have to look for each family.
The little girl took a step back in fear and almost sat down on the steps.
"I....I don't know..." Her small face was very nervous, and suddenly she ran out from Lu Sheng's armpit.
Lu Sheng didn't stop her, but just watched her leave.
"According to the information, it's the second floor here. The entire second and third floors belong to his family." Wei Handong whispered behind him.
"So the little girl just now is actually from his family."
"I know." Lu Sheng nodded. Of course he knew that the little girl was Li Ze's daughter. In fact, he also knew that the other party already knew since he entered this community and came straight here.
And he lowered his head to ask just now, just to give the other party a signal.
The two sat down in the shaded pavilion on the side.
Wei Handong skillfully took out water from his backpack, Gao Neng replenished dry food sticks, and then took out the anti-surveillance portable equipment by himself, carefully adjusted and searched the surrounding situation.
"Li Ze himself is a Psychic Master. He has joined several high-level Psychic Master Alliances, but later quit for unknown reasons. If we want to persuade him to transfer the Linshi business, we can start with the Psychic Masters." Wei Handong introduced.
"Don't be so troublesome." Lu Sheng said lightly. "He'll soon know why we're here. And, he'll agree."
"?" Wei Handong was a little puzzled, but seeing the calm face of the master, he couldn't say anything.
The two sat here for more than ten minutes.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, about forty years old, with a small box in his hand, strode towards the two of them.
The man's facial features are very gentle, no different from ordinary schoolteachers. It seems that there is no temperament of a strong man.
Wearing an old-fashioned white shirt and black trousers, he walked to the pavilion and stared at Lu Sheng coldly.
He could tell at a glance that Lu Sheng was the leader.
"Tell me your purpose. Jiumingtang, you are not staying in Anming City, what are you doing here?"
"Pros and cons in this world, everything has a definite number." Lu Sheng was still sitting, his gaze fell on this man.
"Li Ze, I want scalestone mines, all your family's scalestone mines."
"What to buy?" Li Ze's tone was still cold.
"Your life. Is it enough?" Lu Sheng said lightly.
Li Ze smiled instead of anger.
"You should inquire about my reputation in the Nianneng Alliance. I haven't done anything for several years, it seems that the outside world has forgotten my bad reputation..."
There was a faint humming sound from the suitcase in his hand.
"You are a very self-aware person." Lu Sheng stood up slowly, wearing a tight black vest, and the three red marks on his right arm became more and more vivid like blood.
"If you want to die in front of your daughter, I will grant your wish." Lu Sheng said calmly.
He raised his hand abruptly, pinching his fingers.
clang!
With a slight impact sound, a sharp alloy needle as thin as a cow's hair was firmly held between his fingers, unable to move.
Li Ze actually made a move immediately after a disagreement. His forehead was full of veins, and his thoughts were running wildly.
But the metal wire seemed to be clamped by some kind of giant machine, unable to move at all. The whole translucent wire was starting to glow red and hot. Under the blessing and confrontation of the two giant forces, there were even signs of melting.
