What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

Saturday morning was sunny, but it did not dispel the gloom in Lu Li's heart.

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom, like a silent behemoth, stopped in front of the undeveloped wasteland in the west of Jianghai City.

The car door opened, and Lu Li got out first.

If things were to follow the original plot, this place would turn into a massive brawl in half an hour.

It might even draw blood.

The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur and the stench of soil being turned over.

"What are you standing there for?"

A cold voice came from behind.

Lu Li quickly turned around.

Su Feiyan got out of the car.

That instant.

Lu Li felt that the gray construction site around him had become much brighter.

She was dressed very smartly today.

A fitted off-white trench coat over a black turtleneck sweater, paired with black suit trousers.

She wasn't wearing a skirt, but the lines of her legs were still perfectly outlined by the suit pants.

Straight.

Slender.

With each step, the trouser legs undergo an extremely smooth deformation in response to the movement of the legs.

This kind of ascetic attire makes people want to explore what's underneath the fabric even more than directly showing their legs.

"President Su, slow down."

"There are many potholes on the ground, be careful not to twist your ankle."

Lu Li, with the awareness of a lackey, stretched out his hand and blocked the top of the car door.

Su Feiyan glanced at him.

"Put your hat on."

She took a yellow helmet from the bodyguard and casually put it on Lu Li's head.

The movements were very rough.

It even flattened Lu Li's hairstyle.

But Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.

Is this... a sign of caring about me?

No, she's probably afraid I'll get my head split open and then no one will write her thesis on black stockings.

Su Feiyan simply smiled slightly, and then put on a white safety helmet as well.

Even these old-fashioned work safety items look like limited edition items from Paris Fashion Week when worn on her head.

That's the advantage of having a good face.

Even if you're just wearing a burlap sack, it's still haute couture.

"Let's go."

Su Feiyan, wearing those not-too-high heels, took the first step.

The road ahead was in terrible condition, full of muddy puddles.

Several excavators were parked in the distance, their huge buckets raised high.

Lu Li followed closely behind Su Feiyan, never leaving her side.

His eyes scanned his surroundings frantically, like radar.

Is someone hiding behind that mound of earth?

Was there a sniper in the cab of that excavator?

[System, maximize danger detection!]

System: [Full-power scan activated. Host, your heart rate has exceeded 140. We recommend taking nitroglycerin.]

Lu Li: [Get lost.]

The group walked about two hundred meters inside.

That's the hot spring vent that was just dug out up ahead.

Steaming hot.

The white mist swirled around the muddy ground, creating a scene that resembled a fairyland, if one disregarded the stinking ditch gushing black water nearby.

"President Su, this is the spring."

The project manager came running over, all smiles.

"Tests have shown that the water here is rich in various minerals, making it a top-tier therapeutic hot spring..."

Su Feiyan stood on the muddy ground.

She didn't speak, but simply stared quietly at the spring.

The hem of the trench coat fluttered in the wind.

That aura made the talkative project manager's voice grow softer and softer until he finally shut up completely.

Lu Li stood to Su Feiyan's left rear.

His hand was already in his pocket.

His fingers gripped the seal of the packet of lime powder tightly.

My palms were sweaty.

[They've arrived.]

[Based on the timeline, that bastard Ye Fan should be making his appearance soon.]

[If he dares to show his face, I'll first give him a "lime wash," then a "shovel to the head."]

Whether you're the Dragon King or the Insect King, physical attacks are the most powerful.

Su Feiyan tilted her head slightly.

She overheard Lu Li's crazy plan.

Washing your face with lime?

It's amazing that he could come up with this.

Only a salted fish could pull off such a despicable tactic with such righteous indignation.

Just then.

A sudden change occurred.

boom!

A loud bang.

It was less than twenty meters away from them.

A sewer manhole cover that was originally completely covered suddenly appeared as if it had been launched by a catapult.

Take off from the spot.

The black cast iron manhole cover tumbled through the air a few times before crashing heavily onto the muddy ground beside it.

A splash of black sludge erupted.

Lu Li trembled with fear.

He almost spilled the lime powder in his crotch.

Holy crap!

[Isn't this kind of performance a bit too hardcore?]

[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?]

Followed by.

From that dark, gaping sewer opening.

First, a hand was extended.

Then a figure suddenly darted out, like a cannonball.

He did an extremely pretentious somersault in the air, and even tried to strike a "superhero landing" pose.

*Splat*

pity.

The ground is too slippery.

The figure slipped when it landed and stumbled several steps before regaining its balance.

He even needed a help from one of his underlings to avoid falling flat on his face.

Followed by.

A dozen or so burly men, covered in mud and carrying steel pipes and watermelon knives, climbed out of the well like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The scene was very chaotic at one time.

An indescribable stench.

It instantly masked the smell of sulfur in the air.

It smelled like marshland that had been fermenting for who knows how many years, mixed with the smell of rotting food, excrement, and dead rats.

It shot straight up to the top of the head.

Even if it's twenty meters apart.

Lu Li felt like she was suffocating.

He quickly covered his nose.

【vomit--】

[Is this some kind of biological weapon?]

[Did Ye Fan go to shovel toilets?]

[Didn't the original story say he "descended from the heavens like a divine soldier"? How did it become "descending from the heavens like a pile of shit soldiers"?]

The figure in the lead finally regained his footing.

He wiped the mud off his face, revealing a pair of sinister eyes and that signature crooked smile.

Although that crooked mouth might be holding some sewer specialties.

It was Ye Fan.

The camouflage vest he was wearing was so worn that its original color was no longer visible.

That was truly "a multicolored black".

But he still thinks he's very handsome and has a lot of presence.

He stepped forward, pointing the steel pipe at Lu Li.

"You little bastard!"

It carried a ruthless air.

"Didn't expect that, did you?"

"Today is your death day!"

Ye Fan roared loudly, as if he wanted to shout out all the humiliation he had suffered during this period.

As he roared, a few drops of black mud splattered from his mouth and landed on the ground.

Su Feiyan frowned.

She took a step back.

There was no fear in those beautiful eyes hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses.

There was only intense disdain.

It's like seeing a pile of dog poop on the side of the road.

The bodyguards around them reacted quickly.

They immediately surrounded Su Feiyan and Lu Li.

Each of them had a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Ye Fan looked at the bodyguards and let out a disdainful sneer.

"A bunch of worthless bastards!"

"Trying to stop me too?"

"Brothers!"

"Get them!"

"The man is crippled, the woman stays!"

Ye Fan waved his hand.

The burly men who had just crawled out of the sewers let out a strange cry and raised their weapons, ready to charge forward.

At this critical moment.

A very untimely voice rang out.

"Feed—"

"Hey, hey—"

That was the sound of an electric microphone.

Extremely harsh.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Ye Fan, who was about to charge, stopped in his tracks.

All I could see was behind the wall of bodyguards.

Lu Li was holding a large red and white megaphone.

I have no idea where he came from.

It was probably snatched from the project manager just now.

He held up a megaphone and pointed it at Ye Fan.

The sound, amplified by the loudspeaker, echoed across the empty construction site.

"The one in the camouflage vest!"

"Yes! It's you!"

"Could you please step back a little?"

The entire room fell silent; Ye Fan was stunned.

Lu Li continued in an extremely irritating tone.

"Sir."

"Although our Su Group advocates equality for all."

"But you really stink."

"With your arrival, the land price on this plot of land will drop by half."

"Can't you have any sense of public decency?"

"Even when you're out in the world, you still need to pay attention to personal hygiene, okay?"

puff.

I don't know which bodyguard couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Followed by.

The somber atmosphere collapsed.

Even the fierce-looking henchmen behind Ye Fan had strange expressions.

They looked at each other.

indeed.
