Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 629: Chapter 628, Astonishing Secret

Xu Wendong did not care that Jiang Yuanbo had murderous intentions toward him.

What he really cared about.

Was that Jiang Yuanbo’s murderous intent toward him was not intense enough.

After all, he had always wanted to meet that red-clothed female ghost and uncover the truth behind the Mo Village case.

”Only you knew I was coming to Mo Village today.”

”We had just entered the village and were attacked by the children from Jiang Family Village.”

”Don’t you think it’s all too coincidental?”

Xu Wendong, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked calmly at Ji Ning.

Ji Ning lowered her head nervously.

Liu Shimei also furrowed her brows slightly.

Understanding the implication in Xu Wendong’s words.

There was a high possibility that Ji Ning was a spy planted by Jiang Yuanbo at Xu Wendong’s side.

”Everyone here is smart, there’s no need to treat each other like fools,” Xu Wendong said nonchalantly.

”Mayor Jiang is my benefactor. He once supported me through college,” Ji Ning said nervously, ”It was indeed him who arranged for me to be by your side, but I really have never betrayed you!”

Xu Wendong chuckled.

Clearly not believing Ji Ning’s words.

Ji Ning clenched her fists: ”I’m from Mo Village.”

Hmm?

Xu Wendong raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ji Ning’s eyes flashed with astonishing coldness: ”I was born in Mo Village, but because my parents didn’t get along, they divorced when I was fifteen, and I followed my mom away from Mo Village.”

”The following year, Mo Village went through a calamity, and everyone died.”

”Including my mother, who wanted to reconcile with my dad!”

”After that, I became an orphan.”

”Vice Mayor Jiang found out and sponsored me through high school, college, and then arranged for me to enter a military academy.”

”What he didn’t know was, I was number 13 on Mo Village’s registry.”

Xu Wendong speculated: ”So, does the issue with Mo Village have something to do with Vice Mayor Jiang?”

”I don’t know,” Ji Ning said, her face filled with anguish: ”Three days before the incident, I talked to my mom on the phone. She said my dad had quit drinking and gambling, and hoped I would give him a chance.”

”She also said that city officials had visited Mo Village, intending to develop it into a resort.”

”I had planned to skip classes and go back on Saturday.”

”But...”

”Before I could return, everyone had already died.”

”Why would an ancient village that survived for hundreds of years suddenly have issues after city officials visited?”

”A coincidence?”

Xu Wendong asked: ”Was it Vice Mayor Jiang who brought people to Mo Village?”

Although Ji Ning remained silent, the hatred in her eyes grew more intense.

Xu Wendong also lowered his guard against her.

Because he could sense Ji Ning’s hatred towards Vice Mayor Jiang, and such an emotion couldn’t be faked.

No!

To be precise, it couldn’t fool Xu Wendong’s eyes, nor deceive his sixth sense.

”Don’t worry, I will seek justice for the eighty-three people of Mo Village!” Xu Wendong looked at the cluster of buildings behind him, his eyes filled with an astonishing coldness.

Today, he would uncover the secrets of Jiang Family Village!

After setting up the tent by the sea.

Liu Shimei, the housekeeper, logged on, taking out the prepared ingredients and categorizing them.

As for Xu Wendong, he piloted a drone high in the sky, overlooking Jiang Family Village.

He originally thought he could detect the issues with Jiang Family Village from above, but found nothing. It was just an extremely ordinary mountain village with no abnormalities.

Thus.

He put down the drone, sat cross-legged, releasing his soul force to cover the entire Jiang Family Village, trying to find something unusual in the villagers’ homes.

However, he still found nothing.

But.

When his mental power reached the most sacred shrine of Jiang Family Village.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide.

They were filled with ecstatic joy.

The shrine in Jiang Family Village did indeed honor many memorial tablets.

But.

Above those many tablets, there were seven statues.

Was it reasonable to have statues in a shrine?

Clearly.

It was unreasonable.

Of course.

That wasn’t the most important thing.

What mattered was that of the seven statues, six were male and one was female.

These were the Seven Lucky Gods!

Of course.

That wasn’t important either.

What was important was, only the Japanese revered the Seven Lucky Gods!

Evidently.

The descendants of this village were all devils.

They had usurped this place, occupying it.

Living here under the guise of Jiang Family Village residents!

”If I call Wang Jun now, he would undoubtedly arrive here with a team immediately and seize the Seven Lucky Gods.”

”Not to mention, just the fact that the shrine houses the Seven Lucky Gods can bring down Jiang Yuanbo!”

”No matter what kind of backer he has, he’s doomed.”

”However, this would only bring down Jiang Yuanbo, nothing more.”

”If he pleads ignorance, it will just alert the enemy, and even cut off all leads.”

”What I need to do now is to follow the trail and investigate thoroughly.”

Xu Wendong had a hunch.

Jiang Yuanbo’s matter was definitely not that simple, and to discover the truth behind it, he certainly couldn’t alert any parties.

He withdrew his soul force, and by then, Liu Shimei and Ji Ning had also prepared lunch.

Lunch was simple.

A lavish barbecue.

It was Xu Wendong’s first time having barbecue by the seaside, basking in the gentle sea breeze, watching the calm ocean surface, and listening to the seagulls circling overhead.

That kind of feeling was very pleasant.

The only flaw was the third wheel, Ji Ning. Without her, Xu Wendong wouldn’t mind having some grapes and letting his second brother have some abalone...

After a hearty meal.

Xu Wendong called Liu Shimei and Ji Ning to take a speedboat out to sea for fishing.

Who didn’t like this kind of leisurely and comfortable time?

Fishing wasn’t about skill.

If one had good luck, even a novice could catch a lot of fish.

Take Liu Shimei for instance, she’d just learned fishing, but her catch was the best among the three, making Xu Wendong sigh about the importance of a novice’s luck.

On the other hand, his and Ji Ning’s harvests were mediocre.

However.

He could dive into the sea and catch seafood.

Although the sea was still quite cold this season, he was a cultivator in Qi Refining Stage Level Six, and the water temperature couldn’t affect him.

In the water, he was like a fish, moving quickly, able to hold his breath for over ten minutes, which deeply amazed Liu Shimei and Ji Ning, who exclaimed that Xu Wendong was almost inhuman.

After all, such duration could break a Guinness World Record.

The seabed was an undiscovered treasure for humanity.

Xu Wendong gathered many shellfish and seafood, abalone, ginseng, and even five or six pounds of expensive fish.

The three, riding the sunset home with their bountiful catch, planned to pamper themselves after returning.

Knowing that buying these seafood at the market would cost thousands, if not tens of thousands.

Just as they were about to reach Jiang Family Village.

Xu Wendong saw the sunset hidden behind the mountains, as if he suddenly remembered something, his pupils trembled violently.

This scene.

He had seen it before.

In Shen Wenhui’s memory...
