What a lucky world!

Chapter 252: Being tricked?
"I dare not lie to you two!" Luo Dingnan first stood up and bowed, apologizing, then sat down again and said, "My son was kidnapped in the street today. When you two came, I was discussing this matter with my sister, so I neglected you."

"Someone just sent a message claiming to be the bandit who kidnapped my son."

"The other party put forward a condition, requiring my Luo family to hand over the Chilong in exchange for my son's life."

Zhang Mu and Long Yunbo exchanged a glance, and Long Yunbo spoke up, "How come there's a Chilong in your house? Also, how do you know the bandit who kidnapped your son is the Chilong we've been talking about?"

Luo Dingnan sighed softly: "How could there be a Chilong in my Luo family!"

After a slight pause, Luo Dingnan continued, "I wonder if you two have heard about the divine fortune teller who appeared in Qingyuan City some time ago and can predict the location of spirit fish."

Zhang Mu nodded: "I heard a little about it when I was tracking down the Chilong clue."

"He's dead!" Luo Dingnan's face was solemn. "It was Chilong who did it."

Long Yunbo raised his eyebrows: "What does this have to do with your Luo family?"

Luo Dingnan smiled bitterly and said, "Spirit fish is a great tonic, so my Luo family naturally needs it."

"So we once paid a large sum of money to hire that divine fortune teller as a guest official for our Luo family, but he remained hesitant."

"Last night, the divine fortune teller Mr. Guan suddenly sent a servant to my Luo family, asking us to save his life. However, by the time we arrived, Mr. Guan was already dead."

"Fortunately, the murderer didn't get far, so my sister and I chased him out."

"But I didn't expect that the murderer was actually a Chilong!"

"My sister and I are not proficient in martial arts. Although we tried our best to fight the Chilong, we were still defeated and could only watch it escape!"

"My son was kidnapped today."

"I'm not being overconfident, but I can't imagine who in Qingyuan City would dare to kidnap my Luo family's eldest son in the street!"

"After thinking about it, there is only one possibility."

"The Chilong we were chasing last night was injured and didn't return. The Chilong you two are talking about mistakenly thought that my Luo family had captured the murderer, the Chilong. Therefore, it used my son as a bargaining chip to force us to release him... No, to release the dragon!"

"Sir, you are a disciple of the Spear Immortal. Please help me. Our entire Luo family will be grateful."

After saying that, Luo Dingnan stood up again and bowed again.

Zhang Mu frowned slightly. Luo Dingnan shifted the blame for the first Chilong to others with just a few words, and was trying to drag them into the muddy water of the second Chilong.

The problem is, the story about the second Chilong was made up by him and Long Yunbo!
Now it really becomes a wall to block the wind.

But we have to look at things from two sides.

No matter who the "gangster" who kidnapped Luo Dingnan's son is, he must know the truth about the Luo family and Chilong. Then think about it the other way around, if you can't get the answer from the Luo family, wouldn't it be better to go and ask the gangster?

Zhang Mu nodded and said, "Since we are in the Great Fortune Realm, it is our duty as the Demon Suppression Division to take charge."

"What specific clues are there?"

Luo Dingnan said solemnly, "It was a child who came to deliver the message."

"Just say that before sunset, let us release the Chilong, and my child will be safe."

"If I were a step late, my son's life would be in danger!"

A sad look appeared on Luo Dingnan's face: "But... Chilong is not in my Luo family..."

"My two nobles, please save my child. My family... has only one son for five generations..."

As Luo Dingnan was speaking, his voice, a master of the Judan realm, became choked with sobs!
Now Zhang Mu and Long Yunbo are in trouble.

Even if I want to help, how can I help?

There is no clue at all!

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Long Yunbo asked.

Luo Dingnan thought for a moment, and as if he had made up his mind, he said, "My Luo family has lived in Qingyuan City for generations, and our family's fortune is firmly connected to this city."

"My son is the legitimate son of the family and the carrier of the family's fortune."

"I'll go find my father and use a forbidden technique. As long as my son is within a hundred miles of Qingyuan City, he'll be able to sense the aura!"

"It's just that during the period of performing the forbidden technique, my father and I cannot go out."

"Then please help me and save my child!"

Having said this, Luo Dingnan paused for a moment and said, "Also, I have another favor to ask of you."

Zhang Mu looked at Luo Dingnan and said, "What's the matter?"

"Using forbidden techniques will cause great harm to the family's fortune." Luo Dingnan's tone was filled with pleading. "If you two can capture that Chilong alive, could you please give its dragon energy to my Luo family to replenish the lost fortune?"

"My Luo family will definitely have a generous gift to offer!" Long Yunbo frowned and was about to speak when Zhang Mu held him down and nodded, saying, "Thank you for the generous gift."

"We just want the luck money."

Luo Dingnan smiled immediately: "No problem, no problem."

……

After seeing Zhang Mu and Long Yunbo off, Luo Dingnan and Luo Dingcui came to Roosevelt's secret retreat room together. Luo Dingnan told them about his son's abduction and the content of his conversation with Zhang Mu and Long Yunbo.

"Brother, is there really a second Chilong?" Luo Dingcui asked.

Luo Dingnan shook his head: "It's probably to frame us."

"After transforming, Chilongs will immediately head to Dragon Island to rebuild their dragon souls. The one we caught was a special case, but is it such a coincidence that we can encounter two of them?"

"I think those two were already in Qingyuan City the night Old Man Guan died. They must have discovered something and came to us to try to trick us."

"But it's just right. I can use their help to rescue Huan'er."

Luo Dingcui nodded, then asked doubtfully, "Brother, is there really a forbidden technique that can help me find Huan'er?"

Before Luo Dingnan could speak, Roosevelt snorted, "How can there be such a forbidden technique!"

Roosevelt looked at Luo Dingnan with a sullen expression, "You unfilial son, do you want to sacrifice Huan'er?"

Luo Dingcui's face changed drastically and she looked at Luo Dingnan. Luo Dingnan took a deep breath and knelt down towards Roosevelt.

"Big brother!"

Roosevelt sighed and said slowly: "Tell me, what do you think?"

Luo Dingnan: "Huan'er is my blood, so I naturally hope he is safe."

"However, dragon energy nourishes the fortune of the clan, which is related to the fortune of my Luo family for thousands of years, so that Chilong cannot be handed over under any circumstances!"

"Even if Huan'er died because of this, it was a sacrifice for the family."

"Brother, Huan'er is your only son!" Luo Dingcui frowned.

"As long as I'm here, there's no such thing as an only son." Luo Dingnan gritted his teeth. "Huan'er's talent is mediocre. Even if he's safe and sound, I don't plan to confirm him as the future head of the family."

"Because the imperial court is in decline, my Luo family has not had many descendants. Perhaps after the dragon energy is replenished, I can take in more concubines, and surely even more outstanding bloodlines will be born."

"Including you, your martial arts cultivation can also be further improved, right?" Roosevelt said calmly, "If there is another opportunity, starting from you, within two or three generations, perhaps someone will have the hope of breaking through the chasm of martial arts and reaching the Grandmaster level..."

Luo Dingnan lowered his head and said nothing.

Roosevelt calmed down for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"good very good."

"For a family, family fortune is the most important thing; everything else can be discarded!"

"The head of a large family should have such a broad mind!"

"Once the matter of the dragon energy is settled, the Luo family will be in your hands!"

Listening to the conversation between Roosevelt and Luo Dingnan, Luo Dingcui was a little confused.

What are you talking about?
How can he have so many concubines and have more outstanding bloodlines?
You don’t want such a big nephew anymore?
As if seeing Luo Dingcui's doubts, Luo Dingnan said, "Huan'er still needs to be saved."

"After all, I am the legitimate son of the Luo family."

"The person who kidnapped Huan'er must be closely related to that Chilong!"

"I'll go and interrogate that Chilong, find some clues, and then create the illusion of a forbidden Qi Yun technique, so those two can help us rescue Huan'er."

Roosevelt nodded and said, "That Chilong must have been walking around the market in human form for so many years. Force it to transform, recognize its identity, and then go find the person!"

……

After leaving Luo's house, Zhang Mu and Long Yunbo found a teahouse and sat down. After sending the tea doctor away, Zhang Mu looked at Long Yunbo and said, "What do you think?"

Long Yunbo took a sip of tea and shook his head: "It seems we've been tricked."

Zhang Mu nodded: "Next..."

Their eyes met and the corners of their mouths curled up at the same time.

Who is taking advantage of whom? Who can say for sure?
"Just do it!"
