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

Chapter 33 Mother and Son
"I just got back from tutoring in the city. My dad hired a spiritual master for me, hehe, and I've already started practicing basic visualization techniques!"

Ma Fei said smugly, "You wait, once I get into Seven Star Academy, I'll definitely find a way to get you a visualization technique to practice!"

Excuse me, but this fairy from Seven Star Academy, Brother Xie has already kissed her first. You'll have to step back.

Xie Ling thought to herself, but said aloud, "Didn't your family not sign a contract?"

Ma Fei whispered, "Actually, it's already signed. It was signed with Xie Laogua, but the price is different from others. Xie Laogua signed it with similar terms to the original one from Thunder Group in order to get my dad to agree."

"Actually, it's still uncertain how much Thunder Group can offer, and dragging it out would be troublesome anyway. Since it's about the same, my dad is too lazy to bother with it and just lets Xie Laogua get the benefit."

"Don't let this get out."

Xie Lingxin shook her head: "You two are the smartest."

If this gets out, Old Ma will be drowned in spit.

"I haven't asked you yet."

Ma Fei asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's going on?"

"How did you end up in the Environmental Protection Bureau?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I was lucky and met someone who helped me. It's not a big deal. I'll just be a temporary worker."

This was difficult to explain, so Xie Lingxin could only give a perfunctory answer.

Ma Fei looked at him suspiciously, then asked, "Have you been in trouble lately?"

"What do you mean?"

"Someone outside is asking about you."

"Who?"

"From the Iron Scale Gang!"

Xie Lingxin frowned: "Iron Scale Gang?"

Ma Fei said, "Of the gangs near the farmers' market, the Iron Scale Gang is the largest."

Xie Lingxin naturally knew that the farmers' market was a gathering place for gangs in the Tonggu Bay area.

"You know Xie Laogua's nephew, right? The one with the big tattoo on his arm."

"I've seen you before, so what?"

"Him? This kid's from the Iron Scale Gang, everyone in the underworld calls him Iron Loach. He's been asking about you lately, and I found out about it by accident."

Ma Fei guessed, "Did Lao Xie refuse to sign the contract and anger Xie Laogua?"

Xie Lingxin shook her head: "With Xie Laogua's style, if you really anger him, he would have done what he wanted to do long ago."

Xie Laogua, the patriarch of the Xie clan, is very domineering.

You can tell from the fact that he directly sent a notice asking everyone to go to the village committee to sign the contract.

Old Xie rejected him, and hasn't caused him or Old Xie any trouble yet, which can only be because he has some concerns.

Could it be because they found out that I work at the Environmental Protection Bureau?

He guessed well.

……

Xie Laogua's house.

The tattooed man with the big arm looked incredulous: "Third Uncle, I've inquired, that kid really does work at the Environmental Protection Bureau."

He would never have believed it if he hadn't found out about it himself.

How could anyone possibly get into the Environmental Protection Bureau in a place like Leigong Village? Not even a temporary worker.

Upon hearing this, Xie Laogua sighed, "Xie Dongshan was never easy to mess with to begin with, and now his son has a powerful backer. Oh well, let this family go. Let Tie Lin worry about it for us. We'll just lose one family."

Iron Loach gritted its teeth and remained silent.

It wasn't that he necessarily wanted to earn more money from the Ding family; it was just that he was used to running rampant in Leigong Village, relying on the power of his third uncle and the Iron Scale Gang. Now that someone dared to defy him and he couldn't do anything about it, he found it hard to swallow this insult.

Xie Laogua knew his nephew well; he could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

He warned, "Mudfish, I'm warning you, whatever the Iron Scale Gang wants to do, they can do it themselves. Don't get involved. The Environmental Protection Bureau is not something we can afford to mess with."

Iron Loach said unwillingly, "Third Uncle, that kid is just a temporary worker, he can't represent the Environmental Protection Bureau, can he?"

Xie Laogua laughed angrily: "Just a temporary worker? Let me tell you! He's just a watchdog for the Environmental Protection Bureau, we can't afford to mess with him!"

Iron Loach curled his lip: "Is it really that exaggerated?" Old Xie pointed to the door: "Get out of here! Lest your stupidity offend our ancestors!"

"Go away!"

……

"You'd better persuade Lao Xie as soon as possible. With Lao Xie's reputation, you should be able to negotiate a good deal with Xie Laogua. Don't really piss him off."

Ma Fei advised.

Xie Lingxin casually replied, "I know, don't worry, it's nothing."

"I'll go home and check on things first."

"it is good."

When Xie Lingxin returned to 1517, Aunt Xie's house next door was already empty.

I pushed the door open and went inside, but I didn't find anything unusual.

Only the impatiens flower was a vibrant red.

The ghost that killed Aunt Xie was said to have transformed into Aunt Xie's deceased husband, and it scared the sanitation worker away when he arrived.

No wonder she kept saying that her husband was visiting her in dreams those days, and she was making offerings for several nights in a row.

"Sigh... Auntie, if I were more skilled, I might have discovered that ghost sooner, then you wouldn't have died, and I could have stolen a few more meals from you..."

Xie Lingxin sighed.

He ate quite a few offerings, yet he was completely unaware of the face-changing ghost.

Auntie, I will definitely pay back for these two meals.

I will definitely catch that escaped face-changing ghost for you...

……

In the center of Leizhou City, there is a vast estate.

This location is incredibly valuable; it's almost unbelievable that a manor could be built here.

Only the Chen family of Leizhou, who are known as the number one family in Leizhou, have such grandeur.

A luxury sedan produced by the Thunder Group drove through the grand gate, drove down a long tree-lined driveway, and stopped in front of a magnificent building that resembled a palace.

"Miss, please!"

Someone at the door had already jogged over to open the car door for the VIP inside.

Chen Jinxin got out of the car, nodded and smiled at the person who opened the door: "Thank you."

"Jin Xin!"

Just then, a joyful voice came from the side.

Chen Jinxin turned around, saw that face, and her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

She couldn't help but think of the boy she had seen at the Seven Star Library before.

These two faces look almost identical.

"Jinxin, you're finally back!"

Chen Lingguan was overjoyed: "I heard you're going back to Leizhou to attend the Seven Star Academy. Does that mean you're not leaving again?"

Chen Jinxin smiled politely and said, "Yes, I should be in Leizhou until graduation."

Chen Lingguan exclaimed excitedly, "Then we can study and cultivate together from now on!"

Chen Jinxin smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying: "I still need to practice my skills, I'll be going now."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

Chen Lingguan watched her enter the room, and once she was out of sight, the smile on his face vanished, and he returned to his room with a gloomy expression.

Although it's called a room, it's actually extremely spacious, with a living room, study, tea room, kitchen, entertainment room, practice room, and so on.

"Who has offended our young master this time?"

A beautiful woman dressed in luxurious clothes and exuding an air of nobility walked in.

She looks to be in her early thirties, with curved eyes and a naturally alluring demeanor.

Seeing that Chen Lingguan was still sitting with a sullen face, he smiled slightly: "I heard that our young lady is back? She must have been humiliated by her, right?"
