Chapter 67: Chapter 67, Let’s Get Down to Business

Wang Jinchang fell to the ground with a thud.

Although he did not know why Li Zhenfeng had Deng Wencheng invite Xu Wendong, he realized one thing: Xu Wendong’s background was not as simple as it seemed.

Otherwise, Deng Wencheng would not have addressed Xu Wendong as Mister.

This filled him with despair.

Unprecedented despair.

In his view, if only Deng Wencheng and Zhou Jian knew about his collusion with Zhao Sihai, it wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, he also had connections and could at worst face a reprimand or serious demerit after some maneuvering.

However, his connections couldn’t surpass Li Zhenfeng’s.

Once Li Zhenfeng thoroughly investigated the matter, his life would be over.

At this time, Xu Wendong gritted his teeth and let out a chilling voice: "I said before, if you even touch a single hair on my body, you’ll pay a heavy price. Unless you can heal my injuries right now, no one can help you."

"Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I will tell Secretary Li everything that happened today."

Wang Jinchang closed his eyes and fainted out of fear.

"Quickly, put Mister Xu down!" Zhou Jian shouted angrily at the two policemen, then helped Xu Wendong to a chair and ordered someone to prepare water for washing his face.

Deng Wencheng asked politely: "Mister Xu, did you know we would come for you?"

Xu Wendong weakly replied, "I knew, but not the exact time."

"If I’m not mistaken, something happened at South Lake, right?"

Deng Wencheng and Zhou Jian exchanged glances and saw an incredible light in each other’s eyes. They hadn’t expected that, despite his youth, Xu Wendong had the ability to foresee events.

Perhaps only such a remarkable person could resolve the complex situation at South Lake.

"Let’s go; head to South Lake." Xu Wendong stood up wearily, supported by Zhou Jian as he left the interrogation room. After getting into the car, Xu Wendong closed his eyes and controlled his True Qi to nurture his injuries.

Although he was a cultivator, the external injuries he suffered this time were extremely serious and could not recover in a short period.

The car raced through the rainy night.

However, both Zhou Jian and Deng Wencheng felt a strong sense of unease in their hearts. Although they had found Xu Wendong, he was seriously injured.

At that moment, Deng Wencheng’s phone lit up. He received a text message from Li Zhenfeng’s secretary, Zhang Yong. He wanted to ask about the relationship between Xu Wendong and Secretary Li.

The message was simple: Xu Wendong was the Li Family’s savior.

The simple answer sent chills down Deng Wencheng’s spine and left him feeling uneasy and anxious.

Li Zhenfeng needed Xu Wendong to resolve the crisis at South Lake himself, and this incident also fully exposed some leaders in the public security system for their incompetence and negligence. Li Zhenfeng was bound to be incredibly angry.

But who could have guessed that Xu Wendong was also the Li Family’s savior???

This matter would be thoroughly investigated by Li Zhenfeng, both publicly and privately.

As for the consequences, he dared not imagine.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the edge of South Lake.

Jin Jianyuan immediately walked over with an umbrella, and upon seeing the bloodied and injured Xu Wendong, tears welled up in his eyes: "What a sin, just what kind of sin is this!"

"Is there any justice in this world?"

"Is there any fairness?"

Xu Wendong smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, it’s not as outrageous as you say. I’m fine, don’t worry too much."

Though he said this, Jin Jianyuan’s concern touched him.

In the distance, Li Zhenfeng’s face twisted with anger. Jin Jianyuan’s words felt like silent slaps across his cheeks, catching him off guard.

Yet, he did not become angry; instead, he felt ashamed.

The department leaders behind Li Zhenfeng were also full of fear. Although they didn’t know what Xu Wendong had gone through, one thing was obvious: he had certainly suffered inhuman torment.

Li Zhenfeng spoke in a cold voice: "Deng Wencheng, I need a reasonable explanation from you, such as why Mister Xu has been beaten so badly."

Deng Wencheng looked uneasy; he didn’t know how to explain it.

At this moment, Xu Wendong spoke weakly: "Secretary Li, I encountered a few thugs on the road, and thankfully Director Deng appeared in time to save my life. They’re just superficial wounds, nothing serious. Let’s focus on the real business!"

Both Deng Wencheng and Zhou Jian showed looks of disbelief; they certainly hadn’t expected Xu Wendong to say this.

Even Li Zhenfeng was surprised that someone as young as Xu Wendong would say something like that.

The words seemed insignificant.

But they acted like a veil, covering up Qingyuan’s biggest shame and corruption.

They saved the last bit of dignity for these leaders.

"Mister Xu, please take a look at this." Deng Wencheng said gratefully, showing Xu Wendong the footage captured by a drone, along with mentioning the incident of someone falling into the lake and being in danger.

Li Zhenfeng said: "My current thought is to rescue these six people, and of course, if we can eliminate the underlying problems here, that would be even better."

Xu Wendong shook his head with a smile: "For now, I can only try my best to rescue these six people. As for eliminating the issues here... I’ll need some time."

He deliberately provoked Wang Jinchang, intending to make his injuries appear more serious, just to have a suitable excuse to buy time.

Even though he had stepped into the Dual Layer of Yin-Cultivating Realm, with his current strength, he couldn’t possibly deal with the malevolent spirits on Lake Heart Island.

Li Zhenfeng felt a surge of intense anger. He truly wanted to order the execution of the person who badly injured Xu Wendong; otherwise, he could have solved the crisis at South Lake.

But now, they had to wait until he recovered.

"Mister Xu, what do you suggest? I, Deng Wencheng, am willing to follow your instructions." Deng Wencheng volunteered, wanting to make up for his shortcomings at work.

Xu Wendong nodded and looked at Jin Lingqiang beside him: "Old Jin, find some people to bring a speedboat from the shore."

Before Jin Lingqiang could speak, Deng Wencheng ordered a few of his men to carry out a speedboat, and then Xu Wendong had them turn it upside down.

After this was done, he pricked his fingertip and, under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, wrote two mysterious runes on the bottom of the boat, weakly stating: "Put the speedboat into the lake, Director Deng, you steer it, and let’s go to the island."

Li Zhenfeng said with concern: "Send more people to protect your safety."

He feared accidents, especially since Xu Wendong was currently very vulnerable.

Zhou Jian stepped forward: "I’ll go with Director Deng and Mister Xu down to the lake."

"This matter will be enough with me and Director Deng; more people would just become a burden." Xu Wendong casually mentioned, and was then supported by Deng Wencheng onto the speedboat. Immediately, Deng Wencheng started the boat, riding the waves toward Lake Heart Island.
