Strictly speaking, there won’t be any major changes, just like this ti, was it really Xiao Tian who broke the balance?
Although you could say it was Xiao Tian, at least on the surface, it wasn’t him that caused all this change, but Jiang Kaishan who deceived a group of experts.
The fact is such things remain unchanged no matter who is involved, the result won’t be much different, it’s just that Jiang Kaishan wasn’t a famous figure, so as a spark, he didn’t match the public’s psychological expectations!
Thinking of this, linda changed the topic: "So where do we go next to find the Five Elental Crystals?"
Xiao Tian thought about it and felt that this was indeed a problem, as the two major camps gathered around Kunlun Mountain were probably after the Double Fish Jade Pendant and the mysterious heritage.
So where to find the Five Elental Crystals, Xiao Tian really couldn’t say for the mont!
When Ghost Face ca knocking, Xiao Tian, feeling his strength wasn’t enough, didn’t agree, nor did he inquire about where Ghost Face ntioned, only that it was near Kunlun Mountain.
But Kunlun Mountain is so vast, and not knowing where the Five Elental Crystals would appear is truly a headache.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Tian said helplessly: "We can only go to the town below the mountain to inquire first!"
The speculation that the location of the Five Elental Crystals’ appearance might coincide with the Double Fish Jade Pendant wasn’t sothing Xiao Tian hadn’t thought of, but thinking that linda had never heard anyone ntion it in the third camp, he temporarily dismissed the idea.
Hearing Xiao Tian’s suggestion, linda, though feeling that finding useful information in the town was like winning a big lottery prize,
still nodded in agreent due to not having any better options herself.
——
The next morning, Xiao Tian and linda started their way down the mountain and by noon arrived at the small town below.
Judging by both their capabilities and other factors, it shouldn’t have taken this long, but because of their large and attention-grabbing spoils,
to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two diligently worked, not only carving out a small cave on a sturdy rock wall but also carefully setting up several large chanisms in the cave, and of course, essential items like powders to deter wild beasts were a must.
After doing all this, they camouflaged the entrance until it looked inconspicuous, then left a discreet mark, and only then began their descent lightly.
However, linda still handed over the transparent jade pendant she carried to Xiao Tian, ever since listening to him ntion that they were being watched secretly, she felt a bit uneasy.
She proposed that the next ti they felt being watched, Xiao Tian could use the jade pendant’s magical effects to block such spying.
According to linda’s guess, since the jade pendant could even evade perception power, even if soone used so thod for surveillance, they couldn’t continue if their presence disappeared!
Along the way, the two walked side by side, like a couple enjoying the scenery, drawing envious glances from onlookers.
Yet, they ignored this and pressed on downhill without stopping until they entered a restaurant where they heard an amusing piece of news...
"What would you two like to eat?"
Just as they sat down, a waiter dressed in a retro style approached, holding a pen and a small notebook ready to take their order, with a white towel slung over his shoulder, looking just like the waiters in TV dramas.
After Xiao Tian and linda each ordered two dishes, the waiter indicated for them to wait a mont and then hurried off to notify the kitchen in the backyard.
At this ti, at a nearby table, four or five locals appeared to be engaged in a lively discussion, their toasts and talks quickly capturing the attention of several nearby tables.
"Did you hear about it? Last night, sothing happened at our local dark door!"
"I know, I passed by when I ca here, and the door was already sealed with stickers."
"It got sealed? No way, do the police in our small place even pay attention? It’s not even a crackdown period now!"
Hearing this, linda, a bit puzzled, leaned in to Xiao Tian and softly asked, "What’s a dark door?"
Xiao Tian thought for a mont and also whispered back, "It’s equivalent to today’s bathhouses, entertainnt clubs, but its functions are far more singular and it’s more concealed!"
linda nodded in half-understanding, yet heard the nearby table’s discussion continue.
"Is it because of tax evasion?!"
"Tax evasion? That’s bullshit; even if they want to pay taxes, is there a place for that sort of thing to pay taxes?"
"Then what is it about?"
As the speculations grew wilder, the chubby middle-aged man who had posed the question earlier stood up, motioning others to stop their wild guesses: "Let tell you, I witnessed it myself last night!"
His words imdiately drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant, who looked on curiously, waiting for the already rotund middle-aged man to reveal the answer.
"You know what? An ambulance ca last night..." As the middle-aged man spoke with a mysterious air, everyone hearing this was taken aback.
"Whoa! Isn’t that explosive news?"
"Which old pal here was so formidable to even call in an ambulance?"
The middle-aged man spoke again, "The person involved seems to have the surna Ren, and it’s said that the police involvent was reported by a man surnad Wang accompanying him."
Just as soone wanted to inquire further, the old radio in the restaurant crackled with static.
After a mont, a gentle female voice ca through: "Last night, our city’s police departnt uncovered an illegal organization involved in procuring female university students for prostitution, and the suspects have all been apprehended."
"Additionally, the city bureau has decided to award a bonus of ten thousand yuan to Mr. Wang for his courageous disclosure in this case. Up next, is an interview with Mr. Wang, the civic-minded citizen..."
The static crackled again, and shortly a familiar voice reached Xiao Tian’s ears from the radio: "I feel there’s nothing particularly praiseworthy about this matter. As a native Huaxia person, one should abide by the traditional virtues of Huaxia..."
Xiao Tian imdiately frowned, as the voice sounded quite familiar to him from sowhere.
——
anwhile, Wang Bin looked at the ten thousand yuan bonus sent by the Jin City Police Departnt and the bright red banner with large golden letters that read: "Bravery of the People, Keep Up the Good Work!", feeling a sudden rush of dizziness.
Since getting to know Ren Wenshan in this short less-than-half-a-month ti, this strategist who once toppled Lu Neng had fainted no fewer than six or seven tis already, especially this ti which seed even more grandiose.
Not only did it bring an ambulance, but it also attracted the police departnt and a slew of dia reporters, resulting in Wang Bin receiving a recognition for the first ti in his life, morizing the entire interview script in the process.
Wang Bin sighed, wondering whether his old man watching him on TV would feel gratified or embarrassed? Although the most likely scenario was that he probably wouldn’t see it at all?
