In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 289 Bloodline

Donghai City Government.

High-ranking officials from the four cities of Leizhou, Donghai, Zhanzhou, and Maozhou almost all gathered together.

Seated at the head of the table were the four municipal governors, three men and one woman.

Wang Yinglan from Leizhou, Zhu Rong from Donghai, Liang Cheng from Zhanzhou, and Fu Sheng from Maozhou.

The heads of various departments from the four cities below sat in several circles, making the spacious conference room feel crowded.

Although there were many people, there was complete silence in their eyes, and even their breathing was deliberately kept low.

Zhu Rong, the governor of the East China Sea, glanced around and tapped the table in front of him.

“Knock! Knock!”

"Tell me your thoughts, what should we do about this?"

Because of those two idiots, Jin Luochuan and Bai Shenji, Donghai City is now covered in shit and has been given leverage over it.

He was destined to be unable to stand tall and compete with the other three cities, so he gave up entirely.

You don't want to express your opinion?
I'm determined to be this troublemaker!

Maybe by muddying the waters, Donghai City will still have hope.

"What else can we do? We'll handle this officially!"

Zhanzhou Governor Liang Cheng said, "This matter is far too serious. Two scions of prominent families have died in the East China Sea. This is something we cannot handle on our own. We must report it to the Far East Regional Government."

"As for how to report it? Report the truth! The district government will naturally decide what to do next!"

Fu Sheng from Maozhou echoed, "That's right, report it directly to the district government. And before that, there's one thing that must be done!"

He looked at Wang Yinglan and the other Leizhou officials: "The case hasn't been classified yet. All relevant personnel must be detained, especially Xie Lingxin."

"They caused a scene at the Donghai branch of the Public Security Bureau, using violence in public to force a confession from a bureau chief! What kind of behavior is this?!"

"Furthermore, the accounts of how those people at Qingshui Manor died are all based on his own perspective!"

Qingshui Manor is the manor where Jin Yuxiang lived.

"That's not just one life, it's nearly twenty!"

Fu Sheng slammed his fist on the table: "Two scions of powerful families! And more than a dozen others who are scions of major clans from various planets! This is outrageous!"

The fact that this matter caused such a stir, attracting the attention of the top officials from all four cities, is undoubtedly due to the competition between them.

But the identities of the people involved are the most important factor.

Besides Jin Yuxiang, another scion of a prominent family also died there!

Two scions of prominent families!

There were also more than a dozen disciples from major clans on various planets!
If this bombshell explodes, it will be enough to turn all four cities upside down, and everyone from top to bottom could be plowed up!
From the perspective of Zhanzhou and Maozhou, they were completely unfamiliar with Xie Lingxin and had no connection whatsoever.

If we can push this person out and make them take all the blame, that would be ideal!
But this person is really strange.

Despite coming from an ordinary background and being young.

However, his cultivation level was frighteningly high, and he also possessed several magical treasures!
You can't find this many of these even if you search all four cities!
And I heard he's a scripture teacher.

Just outrageous!
How could Leizhou not cherish and protect such a person?

There's absolutely no way they'll be allowed to touch it.

As for Donghai City, it also has an ambiguous relationship with this kid because of the Tongtian Pagoda.

If it weren't for that idiot Jin Luochuan, Donghai City could have benefited a bit.

As for the fact that this kid was raising a powerful deity comparable to a veteran titled expert, no one was willing to mention it.

The existence of gods is taboo in the Federation.

But in private, who knows how many people make offerings to it?

If we really expose it, we don't know if that kid will live or die, but he has broken the unspoken rules, and the instigator will be hated by countless people.

To injure the enemy by a thousand, you will injure yourself by eight hundred.

Not worth it.

Dai Yang narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce glint, and was about to slam his fist on the table.

So you think you can take pictures?

"boom!"

Dai Yang was startled; it wasn't him who took the picture. He turned to look.

But Wang Yinglan slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her eyes gleaming as she swept over everyone present.

She was the only woman present, yet her aura seemed to overwhelm everyone else.

His tone was calm: "Let's see who dares."

The crowd was stunned by her imposing presence and remained silent for a moment.

"The purpose of this meeting is to solve problems. If you don't want to solve them, then we're leaving now!"

"As for the future... well, may you each find your own good fortune! We, Leizhou, will stand by you to the very end!"

"you……!"

Both Liang Cheng and Fu Sheng looked grim.

But Wang Yinglan's words were clearly a threat to you!

If you dare to make any underhanded moves, we'll fight to the death!
Although the two cities are united, their overall strength is slightly stronger than that of Leizhou and Donghai.

But if they really put in their best effort, it can be quite troublesome.

Especially at such a critical juncture.

Seeing this, Zhu Rong was secretly pleased, and then smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Everyone, please don't get agitated. No matter what it is, we can discuss it."

"Of course, Xie Lingxin is an outstanding child. This time, she helped us solve a major case and exposed the corrupt elements within our ranks! She is a hero! We certainly cannot let down a hero."

"That's beyond doubt; you two are wrong."

"Humph!"

Seeing that this man surnamed Zhu was pretending to be a good person, Liang and Fu had no choice but to go along with it.

Although Wang Yinglan sat down, she still stared intently at the two of them.

Seeing this, Zhu Rong laughed and said, "Then we've made a preliminary determination. As for the final handling of the matter... I agree to report it to the district government, but it must be reported truthfully, without exaggeration."

His point was that Jin Yuxiang and his associates were criminals, while Xie Lingxin was the hero who solved the case!
These are the two points that need to be reached into consensus!

Although Liang Cheng and Fu Sheng were unwilling, they had no choice.

Not only was he afraid of Wang Yinglan risking her life, but Zhu Rong, that old scoundrel, was also not easy to deal with.

Moreover, to be honest, they were genuinely afraid of angering that kid surnamed Xie, who might recklessly kill them as well! Everyone in the four cities' upper echelons knew about that kid's ruthlessness.

He dared to force his way into the Donghai branch of the police station, subdue Jin Luochuan in public, and torture him.

Even... he probably killed most of the scions of prominent families like Jin Yuxiang!
This... it's practically outrageous!
They possess both bandit-like qualities and formidable strength.

If they really go all out, while they are not incapable of suppressing it, they will certainly have to pay a price.

Nobody wants to be the "price" paid for.

Zhu Rong glanced at the changing expressions on everyone's faces and said with a smile, "Then... it's settled?"

"Humph!"

A covert struggle was set in motion when Wang Yinglan erupted in anger.

……

"All the formalities have been completed."

Liu Eryu led a group of people out.

Xie Lingxin seemed completely unaware of the undercurrent in the East China Sea that was almost entirely aimed at him; he had already returned to Leizhou.

Since we've chosen to trust Fat Orange, there's nothing to worry about.

He came to the Security Bureau to pick up the Xie clan members.

Ultimately, it's because he dragged others down with him.

Liu Eryu smiled and said, "Thank you, Deputy Steward. I've arranged a car. You can take them back now."

"Thank you, Sister Liu."

"X-Xie Lingxin?!"

Iron Mud Loach, whose arms were covered in large tattoos, was a little confused when he saw Xie Lingxin.

They were still somewhat shaken.

He was kidnapped for no reason and locked up in a dark place.

Every day, all we did was bleed them.

Apart from that, although nothing else was done, I was locked in a dark room and bled every day without knowing anything.

This kind of torture can drive you crazy!

Then, inexplicably, I was rescued by these people who claimed to be from the Security Bureau, and brought back for extensive questioning.

Even now, they still don't know why or what happened.

Iron Loach's expression was somewhat complicated.

The woman's appearance alone made him feel ashamed of himself and dare not look her in the eye.

Not to mention she was clearly a "high-ranking official" in the security bureau.

Almost everyone he met obeyed her every command.

Now that Xie Lingxin is here, he doesn't know why, but he sees him chatting and laughing with such a person as if nothing is wrong.

The person he didn't even dare to look at seemed to be treating him with considerable politeness.

Although he knew that Xie Lingxin was no longer the same person she used to be, Tie Niqiu still felt a huge sense of disappointment.

Just a few months ago, this person was someone I completely disregarded and could bully at will...

Xie Laogua is quite shrewd. When he saw Xie Lingxin appear here, he guessed that their predicament was most likely related to him.

Xie Lingxin walked over and looked at the group of so-called Xie clan members, who were staring at him expectantly.

He said, "Go back, are you still reluctant to leave?"

"Oh, good, good!"

Xie Laogua snapped out of his daze and tugged at the iron loach.

He knew very well that these security bureau officials were only giving them the time of day because of Xie Lingxin.

Even the scene before him allowed him to see some unimaginable desires he had never dared to dream of before…

No matter what, we must not have any complaints against Xie Lingxin!
With cars arranged by Liu Eryu, the dozens of people were quickly sent back to their respective homes.

However, Xie Laogua and a few other so-called clan elders are still around.

Old Xie stood at the entrance of the residential area, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you..."

He was a little unsure what to call him.

Xie Lingxin didn't care about their attitude: "Let's keep it the same as before, there's no need to change."

"Then I'll still call you Ling!"

Old Xie, shameless as ever, rubbed his hands together and said, "Lingxin, this time, we really owe you a lot. Otherwise, we don't know how much suffering we would have endured."

Xie Lingxin smiled upon hearing this: "Old Xie, you don't need to pretend in front of me. I don't believe you can't guess that all the suffering you've endured is because of me."

Upon hearing this, Iron Mudfish's eyebrows shot up: "What?! You were the one who had it done?!"

"Are you even human?! No matter what, your third uncle and the others are still your elders!"

"Snapped!"

Xie Laogua slapped him hard on the back of the head.

Iron Mud Loach covered his head: "Third Uncle! Why did you hit me?"

"I'll beat you to death, you idiot!"

Old Xie's eyes were already searching for "weapons" in all directions.

Xie Lingxin rolled her eyes: "Alright, Xie Laogua, after all these years, who doesn't know who?"

"Don't worry, as I said last time, we've settled all our scores."

"This time, I will not shirk my responsibility for the suffering you have endured because of me; I will make it up to you."

Actually, he had been considering it for a while.

That old woman who makes clothes can curse him just by using their blood.

He knew he could no longer ignore the Xie clan members.

The old Taoist priest's words gave him some insights.

Seeking immortality and pursuing the Dao, over time, the world changes.

Those so-called grudges from the past seem insignificant if we extend the timeframe infinitely in this process.

Ironically, this "bloodline" that he had disregarded seemed to be incredibly precious...
