Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 64: Chapter 64, The Silent Slap in the Face

On the Lake Heart Island, Huang Rulong and Chen Fuhua, the two Feng Shui masters, along with their apprentices, knelt in front of a hexagonal well. They gazed up at the night sky, eyes vacant and hollow as if engaged in some ancient ritual.

Their expressions sent shivers down people’s spines, chilling to the bone.

”Weren’t there eight people before? Why are there only six now?”

”And what are they doing?” Zhou Jian looked gravely serious. He was an atheist, yet now he faintly felt the world might not be as simple as he imagined.

Jin Lingqiang had a look of schadenfreude: ”I told you not to go to the island before, now you regret it!”

”No matter if you brought so-called Feng Shui masters, the waters here run deep, they simply can’t intervene.”

Jin Jianyuan spoke with indifference, ”Although their behavior is very strange, they have not lost their lives.”

”Now, the only thing you can do is bring Doctor Xu over, otherwise, these six people will die soon.”

”Don’t doubt my words.”

”The mysterious symbol on that stone slab at the well’s mouth is left by Doctor Xu. If the slab were not suppressing the well, do you think these six could have survived until now?”

Li Zhenfeng and his companions focused their gaze on the mysterious blood-colored rune on the well mouth’s stone slab. Although it was deep in the night and heavy rain was pouring down, that blood-colored rune felt three-dimensional and distinct.

It faintly emitted a bloody glow, and there were thumping sounds as if something were striking the stone slab, trying to break free of the seal.

At this moment,

Li Zhenfeng clearly realized Xu Wendong was right, the waters here were really deep, not something ordinary people could touch.

If more time was wasted, those six were very likely to lose their lives.

Without thinking much more.

He took out his phone and stepped aside to call Xu Wendong.

The situation here was too tricky, to save these six people, they had to rely on Xu Wendong.

Although making this call would cause him to lose face, with lives at stake, he couldn’t care that much.

However,

Unfortunately, the call indicated it could not be connected for the moment.

”That damn kid, could he have blacklisted my number?” Li Zhenfeng’s face was gloomy, and he called Secretary Zhang Yong over: ”Use your phone to call Xu Wendong’s number.”

Zhang Yong entered Xu Wendong’s number into his phone and dialed, then said, ”Secretary Li, I also can’t get through.”

”What’s going on?” Li Zhenfeng frowned deeply, then he called the director of Qingyuan Public Security Bureau over and said, ”Old Deng, I have a task for you, find Xu Wendong from the People’s Hospital in the shortest possible time.”

He knew that Xu Wendong was currently the only one who could break the situation, even if he couldn’t resolve it here, he could rescue the six trapped on Lake Heart Island.

If anything really happened to those six, the consequences would be unimaginable.

”Yes!” Deng Wencheng saluted, then took out his phone and made a call: ”Deploy the Sky Eye System to locate Xu Wendong of the People’s Hospital, he must be found.”

So, the comrades in the information department of the Qingyuan Public Security Bureau got busy, finally finding Xu Wendong’s trace in the surveillance system.

After leaving the hospital, he took a taxi and headed to the South City Di Hao Nightclub, and afterward, Xu Wendong was handcuffed and taken into a police car.

Upon receiving information from his subordinates, Deng Wencheng came before Li Zhenfeng, trembling with fear and said, ”Secretary Li, Xu Wendong was caught by the South City Sub-bureau’s comrades!”

Li Zhenfeng immediately frowned: ”Xu Wendong was captured by the South City Sub-bureau people? What did he do? Where was he caught?”

He had only met Xu Wendong once, but Xu Wendong left a good impression, self-confident and with life-saving abilities.

Of course, now he also gave him a profound, unfathomable feeling.

He really couldn’t understand why someone like Xu Wendong would be caught by the South City Sub-bureau comrades.

Deng Wencheng looked exceedingly tense.

Li Zhenfeng saw the tense expression on Deng Wencheng’s face and snorted coldly, ”It’s only logical for a criminal to be caught. What is there that can’t be spoken?”

Deng Wencheng shivered with fear: ”Secretary Li, Xu Wendong was arrested at the Di Hao Nightclub.”

Li Zhenfeng furrowed his brows, he hadn’t heard of the Di Hao Nightclub.

But Jin Jianyuan beside him couldn’t help but remark, ”As they say, ’Jianghu matters should be resolved within Jianghu,’ I really didn’t expect that officials and bandits would be colluding so openly today.”

”Damn, the world is truly rotten!”

Li Zhenfeng couldn’t stand Jin Jianyuan’s arrogant attitude, disregarding him as if he wasn’t there. Regardless, he was Qingyuan’s top official, the parental figure to the citizens of Qingyuan.

However, since Jin Jianyuan arrived, he hadn’t taken him seriously.

Now hearing him lament about how rotten the world is, the anger in his heart flared uncontrollably, but before he could erupt, Zhang Yong’s voice sounded by his ear: ”Secretary Li, the Di Hao Nightclub is Zhao Sifang’s base in the South City!”

That simple sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over Li Zhenfeng, instantly extinguishing the anger in his heart, and even making his face feel hot, as if slapped hard by an invisible hand.

Collusion between officials and bandits has been history’s greatest taboo since ancient times.

Although he knew that this condition couldn’t be eradicated, even now there are cases of collusion.

But.

The South City Sub-bureau had been too blatant about it!

He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, gritting his teeth: ”Deng Wencheng, I am only giving you half an hour’s time, in half an hour, I want to see Xu Wendong unharmed in front of me!”

”Otherwise, you might as well go home and retire!”

”Yes, yes, I will get Xu Wendong right away.” Deng Wencheng was nearly scared witless, though this matter had nothing to do with him, he was after all the department head of the public security system. If Li Zhenfeng placed blame, he would be hard put to escape responsibility.

”Zhou Jian, come with me.” He angrily shouted at Zhou Jian in the distance, venting all his fury on him.

Zhou Jian looked innocent, but still scampered over and even called a driver for the car.

”Why call a driver? Can’t you drive the damn car yourself?” Deng Wencheng was hopping mad, kicking Zhou Jian on the backside, causing him to stumble and almost fall flat on his face.

Zhou Jian’s scalp tingled, knowing that in certain situations, drivers and secretaries cannot be present, as they are often involved in some confidential affairs.

After they both got into the car, he started the car and drove away from South Lake, cautiously glancing at Deng Wencheng in the back, nervously asking, ”Director Deng, where are we going? Can you tell me what on earth happened?”

Deng Wencheng let out a deep sigh, utterly fatigued, ”Those subordinates of yours stirred up a hornet’s nest, caught Xu Wendong at the Di Hao Nightclub.”

Zhou Jian instinctively hit the brakes, eyes full of fear: ”Director Deng, are you serious? My heart’s not good, don’t scare me like this!”
