Chapter 68: Chapter 68, I owe you a favor

Deng Wencheng curiously glanced at Xu Wendong, who had his eyes closed in meditation, and couldn’t help but ask, ”Mister Xu, what exactly is inside that well? Are there really some unclean things?”

Xu Wendong slowly opened his eyes and asked with a smile, ”Afraid?”

Deng Wencheng laughed dryly, ”If I were to go to the island alone, I’d definitely be scared. But following you, I’m at ease.”

He wasn’t purposely flattering Xu Wendong, but rather speaking from the heart.

Although Xu Wendong was very young, he gave off an aura of profound mystery.

Of course.

The reason Deng Wencheng had such a feeling was also linked to Xu Wendong’s life-saving medical skills and his solo feat of crushing the Black Dragon Hall and the Li Family Martial Arts School.

”This time going to the island is not dangerous, it’s just to pick up a few people and witness some supernatural phenomenon.” Xu Wendong said nonchalantly.

Deng Wencheng acknowledged, pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, ”Thank you for today, I owe you a favor.”

Before, Xu Wendong claimed that today’s injury was caused by thugs, which served not only as a cover-up for Qingyuan’s officialdom but even secured his career prospects.

Saying thanks was not over the top.

Xu Wendong said, ”If Director Deng truly wants to thank me, then make the skies over Qingyuan a bit clearer!”

Deng Wencheng heard the implication, as everyone knew that Qingyuan was controlled by four great figures, this made him smile bitterly, ”When I was young, I also thought that one day I could do something truly good for the people and protect a peaceful region. However, when I actually entered society, I realized that the world is not as simple as we imagined.”

”Though the sun rises every day, there’s darkness untouched by sunlight, and that darkness breeds evil, crime, and killing, which we simply cannot eradicate!”

Xu Wendong was puzzled, ”So you just let it be?”

Deng Wencheng replied naturally, ”There are people managing it for us!”

Xu Wendong looked incredulous, ”You’re talking about people like Zhao Sihai?”

Deng Wencheng said, ”I know Zhao Sihai isn’t a good person, he committed many wrongdoings, but I can share a statistic with you. After Zhao Sihai became the boss of South City, the crime rate there plummeted, reaching a historic low.”

Xu Wendong was speechless. He had previously loathed people like Zhao Sihai but hadn’t expected that Zhao Sihai’s presence actually drove down the crime rate in South City.

Deng Wencheng seemed to recall something and suddenly said, ”Zhao Sihai committed suicide out of guilt, jumped right from his sixth-floor office, and died on the spot!”

”All core members of the Black Dragon Hall, except for Deputy Manager Wu Mei, were apprehended.”

”Wu Mei had already left the Black Dragon Hall earlier.” Xu Wendong showed no emotion on his face; he hadn’t expected the conflict with the Black Dragon Hall to end with Zhao Sihai’s suicide out of guilt.

”No wonder Zhao Sihai called the police on you; if Wu Mei were around, she certainly wouldn’t have stood by.” After a pause, Deng Wencheng couldn’t help but ask, ”How did you know Wu Mei left Black Dragon Hall? Do you know her?”

Xu Wendong replied, ”We live across from each other.”

Deng Wencheng suddenly understood, then sent a text message while steering the speedboat, telling his men to stop pursuing Wu Mei. Although he didn’t know the actual relationship between Xu Wendong and Wu Mei, he knew Xu Wendong’s word carried weight.

Of course, he also understood that even if Wu Mei were caught, it would only be a formality. After all, Wu Mei was just the deputy manager of Di Hao Nightclub, merely helping Zhao Sihai manage business.

To put it harshly, even if she partnered with Zhao Sihai in some illegal activities, how could such a smart woman leave any evidence against herself?

Whoosh!

Without any warning.

A sharp splash sound broke out, and Deng Wencheng clearly saw a strange fish, three to four meters long, leap out five meters ahead, creating a huge splash.

This unexpectedly gave him a strong sense of unease; if the strange fish attacked their speedboat, how many hits could it endure?

Once they fell into the water, in Xu Wendong’s current state, could he ensure both of them left alive?

”Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes!” Deng Wencheng shouted in alarm; he saw the strange fish charging headlong, its dorsal fin like a sharp knife.

But Xu Wendong remained calm and composed.

Just when Deng Wencheng was panicking like an ant on a hot pot, his pupils shook violently. He was shocked to discover a crimson glow erupting from beneath the speedboat.

The strange fish seemed to sense some crisis and vanished instantly.

”Damn!”

Deng Wencheng felt his scalp tingle, a monstrous wave rose in his heart.

Earlier, when he saw Xu Wendong drawing talismans with blood on the boat’s bottom, he had been dismissive, thinking Xu Wendong was just pretending to be mysterious.

But now, he realized how arrogant his former thoughts were and came to recognize the terrifying prowess of Xu Wendong.

This was indeed an extraordinary person of the age!

On second thought, it made sense. If he weren’t a remarkable figure of current times, how could he bring the dead back to life, or single-handedly venture into danger, crushing the elites of the Black Dragon Hall and Li Family Martial Arts School?

One must maintain good relations with such a master; it’s better if there’s no need to rely on such connections, but once needed, it can be lifesaving!

The two successfully disembarked, coming upon two individuals kneeling beside a hexagonal well; they still gazed up at the heavens, eyes white and vacant.

Yet, they hadn’t stopped breathing, though their pallor revealed immense weakness.

”Why does it feel so cold on this island?” Deng Wencheng looked grim, goosebumps forming on his skin.

Although it was drizzling, the temperature was twenty-five degrees, the most comfortable for the human body, yet upon reaching Lake Heart Island, it felt like plunging into an ice cellar.

Xu Wendong also realized that the malevolent force within the well had grown stronger since before, as the temperature was indeed indicative of the opponent’s strength. Without further delay, he forcefully pinched his still-unhealed finger, blood immediately welled up and dripped onto the foreheads of the six individuals.

He was a cultivator in the Dual Layer of Yin-Cultivating Realm, his blood contained strong Yang Energy capable of dispelling the control of malevolent forces over the minds of the six.

As the blood dripped onto their foreheads, their vacant expressions instantly brightened, but their eyes were filled with endless fear and the joy of having survived a disaster.

”Thank you, young friend, for the life-saving grace. I have nothing to repay you with, but if you ever come to Guangdong Province, Huang will certainly show you his hospitality!” Huang Rulong bowed respectfully, grateful for Xu Wendong’s life-saving grace, and realizing his own lack of ability, for otherwise, he wouldn’t have been influenced by the malevolent presence here.

Chen Fuhua also bowed, still shaken, ”Thank you, young friend, for your timely intervention. Otherwise, we would have been doomed here! If you ever need anything in the future, just command, no matter how arduous the task, Chen would give his life without hesitation!”
