American comic book red Superman

"No, I want to eat!"

The green snake quickly trotted after him, running around him and shouting.

This attracted the attention of everyone around.

In the end, Luo Wei still bought it for the green snake. He didn't expect the green snake to be so shameless for food, chasing him all the way through several streets, and even wrapping its limbs around him like a snake.

"Osmanthus cake is still the best; snail rice noodles are too awful."

Green Snake chewed on osmanthus cake, a shallow dimple appearing on her cheek. Unbeknownst to them, the two had already walked onto a pedestrian street. She suddenly stopped.

Looking into the distance, there's a huge poster on a building.

"Hey, why aren't you leaving?"

Luo Wei looked down to text Wang Zikai and noticed that the girl in front of him hadn't left.

Green Snake raised her hand, pointed to the poster on the building, and said, "It's a Superman poster."

A huge poster of Superman fell from the top of the building, covering the entire front of the building. The poster was hand-drawn and depicted Superman holding up an airplane. Many people stopped to take pictures.

"He really is a superman."

Luo Wei raised an eyebrow. In the past few days, he had heard that many residents of Green Vine City had changed their views on Superman, and their evaluations were much better than before. They were no longer so hostile to Superman, this powerful being.

He looked at the fluttering poster and said again, "So cool."

"How ugly."

The green snake next to them blurted out almost at the same time, and the two stared at each other with wide eyes.

"You don't like Superman?"

Luo Wei asked.

Green Snake nodded and gave her answer, saying, "I don't really like him, but he is indeed a hero. He's just too arrogant, too haughty, and too disdainful of others. Hey, Xiao Wei, why did you pat my head? I didn't say that, it was Sister Xiao Hua who said it."

"I saw a fly on your head and just fanned it away for you."

"Hehe, Sister Xiaohua is right, most of the people who like Superman are little kids."

Luo Wei: "."

"It seems that Superman is indeed the most famous superhero in China. Since leaving the exhibition, I have seen Superman's posters for the third time. He is picking up planes, extinguishing fires with his breath, and making his signature flying moves. My God, the last superhero that was so popular in my memory was Batman. But it took Batman a long time to gain people's recognition, while Superman only took two or three months."

Lex Luthor sat in the back seat of the car, watching the posters flash by outside, his fingers tapping incessantly on the pages of his book.

“Luther, Batman isn’t that well-liked.”

"From the passenger seat," Eve, the assistant, turned her head and said.

"Because the people of Gotham are so ignorant and arrogant, they have a good vigilante who is willing to sacrifice himself. Anyone should be happy about that."

Lex Luthor shook his head. He didn't dislike the existence of vigilantes; on the contrary, such people demonstrated the strength of humanity in certain aspects.

"Perhaps the fact that his true identity has never been revealed has caused people to panic. After all, Batman destroys some public facilities and injures many people every time he goes on an operation. Officials are very dissatisfied with him. At least Superman does not destroy public facilities."

Eve joked.

"Eve, you really didn't guess Batman's identity?"

Lex Luthor suddenly said that.

"Who do you think it could be?"

Eve asked curiously, knowing that her boss was very clever and had probably already guessed Batman's true identity.

There is an old Chinese saying: "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed."

Lex Luthor spoke in fluent Chinese, smiled, and didn't continue the topic of Batman. His deep, powerful eyes were like the starry sea, filled with endless points of light.

"Huh, boring."

Eve pursed her lips. Just then, her phone rang, and a message came in. She glanced down at her face.

Wei Bian quickly looked up and said, "Luther, I think your decision to go to the Green Vine City production base is the right one. There's another unexpected situation there; another batch of chemical materials has gone missing from the warehouse, and the production line is currently suspended. You need to go and meet with the inspection team to buy time for the factory manager to find the chemical materials."

Lex Luthor listened and said with a strange expression, "Lost again?"

In Green Vine City, at the entrance of the police station, as dusk approached, the station remained as peaceful and serene as ever. Liang Zhongping sat on the steps, holding a teacup and occasionally taking a sip.

"Captain Liang, aren't you off work yet? It's been a peaceful day."

I greeted my colleagues as they passed by on their way home from get off work.

“I’m not in a hurry. There’s a factory in the suburbs that has lost chemical materials again. Actually, it was stolen. This time, several barrels of methylamine were also stolen. That stuff is troublesome. If we can’t get it back, we’re in for a tough time.”

Liang Zhongping was a little annoyed. "Foreigners' factories are such a hassle. Things keep going missing every now and then."

His colleague shook his head and left, leaving Liang Zhongping sitting alone until the afterglow fell on his face. He pondered the case. Losing other goods wouldn't be a problem, but it was methylamine, and several large barrels at that. That stuff was very valuable to sell; there were many people willing to buy it on the black market, since it was hard to find in stores. However, if it were used to make some kind of finished product, it would be even more valuable.

"Another all-nighter."

He got up, dusted off his backside, and was about to go back to his office when suddenly a figure appeared out of nowhere, carrying a person groaning in pain.

"Superman, we meet again."

Liang Zhongping quickly stood up straight, covered the thermos, and said with a smile.

"Captain Liang, is there a new case?"

When Luo Wei returned home, his parents were not home, and the Green Snake was sleeping. With nothing to do, he decided to go out for a stroll. Unexpectedly, he made a profit as soon as he went out and caught a petty thief.

"It's a factory in the suburbs that lost something. It's a factory under the Lex Group. I heard from the higher-ups that Lex Luther is coming to Green Vine City soon, and they're preparing to welcome him. They want us to find the lost goods as soon as possible."

Liang Zhongping revealed without reservation that since Hua Xin left, he no longer needed to be in charge of investigating Superman.

Because of Superman's efficiency, many people consider him to be part of the organization and will choose to reveal some information unless it is classified.

"Lex Luthor has quite a lot of influence."

When Luo Wei heard that it was about the Lex Group, he lost interest.

If it's about Wayne Enterprises, he might take a closer look, but if it's about Lexcorp, he'll just let it go. As long as innocent people aren't affected, it's none of his business.

"Lex Luther is quite a celebrity, a big name in the business world. He's a genius to have built his empire from scratch."

Liang Zhongping's tone was full of ordinary people's admiration for successful people. Whether in China or abroad, Loser's experience is enough to amaze people.

In addition, Green Vine City is currently in a phase of rapid development and urgently needs investment and construction. The authorities are eager for more big investors like Lex Luthor to come, especially since Liu Beisan in the south of the city has been arrested, and now a lot of projects are at a standstill, and there are a lot of messy things that no one wants to take over.

"gone?"

After Liang Zhongping finished speaking, he wanted Superman to keep an eye on the area near the factory in the suburbs, but he only felt a gust of wind hit his face. When he looked up at the sky, the figure in the red cape had already disappeared on the horizon.

[PS: People always say I update too slowly. Okay, 4,000 words a day is indeed very slow, so I've decided to update 10,000 words a day starting from the first of next month! Unless there are special circumstances, I will not break my promise!]

Chapter 48: Lex Luthor, I've heard so much about you.

In the suburbs of Green Vine City, before Green Vine City was developed, there was only wasteland everywhere. Even the high-rise buildings were once dilapidated streets. Now, with economic development, modern buildings have replaced the old buildings, and new roads have been built.

The abandoned land in the suburbs was also planned for the construction of factories, in order to create more jobs for the local area. In the early years, almost everyone wanted to go to other places because of the lack of jobs. If you couldn't make money, no one would be willing to stay.

The higher-ups had been worried about this for a long time, but with the investment from Lex Group, a large factory area has now been built on the wasteland, complete with dormitories, entertainment areas, and supermarkets and convenience stores. Of course, the entertainment area and supermarkets and convenience stores are outsourced. If someone is interested in the location, they will live in a shop in the factory and run a business, which is mutually beneficial and provides the workers with a better living environment.

"Mr. Luther, this is our production workshop. We currently operate on a two-shift system, day and night, so the production line is basically running non-stop and production efficiency is very high."

Inside the factory workshop, a manager in a suit was speaking to Lex Luther, who had come to inspect the factory, in English, while constantly glancing at the supervisors overseeing the production lines around him, reminding them to work harder.

A group of people following Lex Luthor occasionally chimed in with their own words or praised the factory's work system.

"Ah."

Lex Luther was bored and not very interested in these things. If it weren't for the theft of the chemical materials, he would already be on a plane back to the United States.

"Luther, bring some snacks."

Seeing his expression, Eve couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

“You should get them to do something productive. I didn’t come here to learn how the production line works.”

Lex Luther didn't speak English, but Latin instead. The smiling manager, assuming he was satisfied, continued to explain diligently.

Eve shook her head helplessly and quickly interrupted the manager, saying, "Alright, it's getting late. Mr. Luther would like to have lunch first, and then we can discuss the matter of the missing chemical materials."

"no problem."

The manager nodded; he couldn't wait to send the person to their superior.

So the group didn't linger any longer. The manager took Lex and Eve in one car, while the other executives followed in other vehicles. The cars left the factory area and headed towards the city.

Because the factory area is far from the city, there was no one around and no vehicles in sight. Both sides of the road were undeveloped wasteland, with hardly any buildings in sight, only trees and weeds.

Beep beep beep

After driving for five or six minutes, we finally saw a bus coming from the end of the road. The driver kept honking the horn and flashing the headlights.

What's going on with the bus ahead?

Eve asked the manager in the passenger seat.

"Oh, that's our factory bus. They went out to participate in an event today and just got back."

The manager explained.

"You still have events going on, so it seems pretty good."

As Eve was speaking, she saw the bus in front of her suddenly stop and begin to turn around, its body lying across the middle of the road.

She frowned slightly, puzzled: "Hmm? That big..."

Why is the bus stopped?

"Wait, stop the car."

Lex Luthor, who had been silent all along, reached out and patted the driver on the shoulder. The driver immediately slammed on the brakes and looked at Luthor with a mixture of confusion and fear.

"what happened?"

The manager asked upon seeing this.

Eve, the assistant, was also puzzled by her boss's behavior, but she knew he must have his reasons, so she didn't ask.

Lex just yelled, "Go back!"

As he spoke, he opened the window and waved to the cars behind him, signaling them to back up together.
