There is an island in the center of Yuanle Lake, which the locals call Golden Bell Island. Legend has it that a golden bell hung on it for a hundred years, and then mysteriously disappeared.
No one knows where the golden bell came from, and no one knows how it disappeared.
But those were all legends from the past. Now Jinling Island is full of red fruit flowers.
Many people contract land there to plant orchards, and contract riverbanks to breed fish.
In addition, it is also a place where a large number of tourists gather every year.
The island, which stretches thousands of meters vertically, is crowded with about a dozen various farmhouses and entertainment attractions.
Although we are in the age of science and technology, there are no signs of technological advancement here.
"Help!" Suddenly a sharp cry for help came from the river.
Plop.
A shirtless man dived into the water and swam towards a young woman who was choking on the water in the distance.
Soon, he tried his best to lift the young woman to the shore. He was lying on the river beach, gasping for air, and was very tired.
After resting for a while, he got up and wanted to leave.
"Stop, my cell phone is still in the water! Cell phone!" The woman grabbed him and shouted.
"Miss, the water is so tight that you can't use your phone even if you bring it up," the man said helplessly.
"Are you from the lifeguard? I'll give you three thousand! You help me pick up the phone! Hurry up!" The woman was jeweled and had a bossy attitude.
"I really can't help it," the man replied helplessly. His physical strength was not very good to begin with, so it was a miracle that he could save the person.
"I don't care. If you don't get my phone, I'll remember your face. I'm telling you, you can't run away!"
On the river bank.
There was an extremely tall middle-aged man wearing brown sunglasses, followed by a slightly thinner young man.
The two of them looked at the young man who was arguing with someone from a distance.
"He is doing good deeds, but why can't he get good rewards?" the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
"Because of the good things he did, people take it for granted, right?" The young man behind him thought for a moment and answered.
"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded, "Because he found the wrong person. The person he saved has not yet reached the most desperate moment, so I am not grateful to him."
"The most desperate moment?" The young man was puzzled.
"It's the same as the home of the person we are going to." The middle-aged man looked at the rescuer being pulled by the woman's clothes and refusing to let him go.
"Then what if the situation itself would not develop to such an extreme level?" the young man asked again.
"It's very simple."
The middle-aged man walked over slowly.
puff.
He suddenly grabbed the hair of the woman who was acting violently, lifted her up straight, and threw her into the water.
Plop.
Ahhhh!!!Help!!
Screams and calls for help sounded again.
The man on the lifeguard team was shocked, but when he saw the woman falling into the water, he instinctively wanted to dive in to save her.
Bang!
The middle-aged man slashed the side of the man's neck with his palm. The man fell unconscious on the spot and fell to the ground.
"Now, she is in despair." The middle-aged man looked at the woman struggling in the water calmly, turned around and walked slowly towards the distance.
"Master Wang, will she die?" The young man couldn't help but ask. Looking at the woman who was struggling, he seemed a little intolerable.
"Who knows," Lu Sheng said calmly. "Life is about making choices again and again. In the process of making choices, we bear the variables and consequences that come one after another."
He paused.
"Like her, it's only a matter of time before she encounters a situation where no one can save her. I just help her a little earlier."
The young man felt choked for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Although he always felt something was wrong in his heart, he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
"Let's go." Lu Sheng led him towards the dock area in the distance.
He knew that this was the master restoring the situation and giving the lifeguard and the woman a new opportunity and a new choice.
This time they came to this island for the same purpose.
The core members of the Pladun family live on this island all year round. There are three core members of this large family that controls the largest scale mineral industry in the province.
Orin Pula Shield, Caesar Pula Shield, and Lizer Pula Shield.
These three people control 99% of the entire family's mining resources. Rather than saying that they belong to the Pladun family, it is better to say that Pladun rose to glory because of them.
Among these three people, Li Zepu Dun, the leader, leads the other two to control the entire family industry.
The Jiu Ming Tang's offensive is very comprehensive, massive, and very hidden. The Pladun family has not noticed it yet.
Lu Sheng also had another purpose in bringing Wei Handong here.
The two walked along the dock area for a while, and soon saw a small group of riverside villas along the shore.
This villa occupies almost half of the entire island.
"This is it." Wei Handong looked at the map and compared it. "Li Ze lives here all year round. To the outside world, he pretends to be an ordinary young white-collar worker, leaving early and returning late. Until now, his family here does not know who he is.
He is the largest controller of Plimpton, with assets worth tens of billions."
"This is the life he chose." Lu Sheng said lightly. "Giving up fame, wealth, enjoyment, and luxury just to keep the ordinary and warm. He did the right thing, because the latter is far more rare than the former."
Wei Handong also realized something at this time.
"Indeed, luxury, fame, wealth, and enjoyment are all available at any time as long as you have power and wealth. But the latter are completely gone once you lose them. Because these cannot be bought with money."
"As long as you understand. Money is just a tool used to exchange resources. Power cannot buy back the sincerity and time that have passed."
Lu Sheng slowly strode towards the villa area.
At the gate guard, several security guards quickly approached, intending to question the origin, but Lu Sheng just raised his hand and made a silent gesture.
All the security guards were stunned. When they came back to their senses, no one was in front of them.
As if nothing had happened, they returned to their posts and continued to do what they had not finished just now.
There are many elderly people in the community sitting outside, playing chess and chatting. Some elderly people are playing with their children in public facilities.
The weather is cool, the temperature is suitable, and there are not many people going out.
When Lu Sheng and the two walked to the front door of a building, a little girl with twin ponytails was jumping down the stairs.
When the little girl saw Lu Sheng and the two of them, her pace slowly slowed down and she seemed a little scared. Because their figures were a bit too exaggerated.
Lu Sheng was stronger than before. He was nearly two meters tall. Standing in front of an adult, he could hide his figure. This time, he did not hide his true figure. In Anming City, he had always used
Exercises such as bone shrinkage are used to maintain body shape.
But after coming out, there is no need to restrain myself.
Wei Handong behind him is also about 1.8 meters tall, with strong muscles that even a loose T-shirt cannot hide. A faint look of determination has gradually formed on his body. This is the result of his recent search for scale stones with Bai Juncheng.
Aura.
The two people were blocking the stairs, almost blocking the entire exit.
"Don't be afraid. Little friend, tell uncle, where is Li Ze's house?" Lu Sheng showed a smile, lowered his head slightly and said to the little girl.
There are four villas in this villa, so if you don’t ask clearly, you have to look for them one by one.
The little girl took a step back in fear and almost sat down on the steps.
"I don't know." Her little face was very nervous, and she suddenly ran out from under Lu Sheng's arm.
Lu Sheng didn't stop her, he just watched her leave.
"According to the information, it's on the second floor here. The entire second and third floors belong to his family." Wei Handong whispered behind him.
"So the little girl just now is actually from his family."
"I know." Lu Sheng nodded. Of course he knew that the little girl was Li Ze's daughter. In fact, he also knew that the other party already knew it from the moment he entered this community and came straight here.
And when he lowered his head to ask just now, it was just to give the other party a signal.
The two of them sat down in the shady pavilion on the side.
Wei Handong skillfully took out water and high-energy dry food bars from his backpack, and then took out the counter-surveillance portable equipment by himself, carefully debugging and searching the surrounding situation.
"Li Ze himself is a telekinesis master. He has joined several high-level telekinesis master alliances, but later quit due to unknown reasons. If we want to convince him to transfer the scale stone business, we can start with telekinesis masters." Wei Handong introduced.
"No need to go to such trouble." Lu Sheng said lightly. "He will soon know our purpose. And he will agree."
"?" Wei Handong was a little confused, but seeing the master's expression dull, he couldn't say anything.
The two of them sat here for more than ten minutes.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, about forty years old, holding a small box in his hand, strode towards the two of them.
The man's facial features are very gentle, just like an ordinary teacher. He doesn't seem to have the temperament of a strong man at all.
Wearing an old-fashioned white shirt and black trousers, he walked to the pavilion and stared at Lu Sheng coldly.
He could tell that Lu Sheng was the leader almost at a glance.
"Tell me your purpose. Jiu Ming Tang, if you don't stay in Anming City, what are you doing here?"
"Everything in this world has its own destiny." Lu Sheng was still sitting, his eyes falling on this man.
"Li Ze, I want the scale stone mine, all the scale stone mines in your family."
"What can I buy?" Li Ze's tone was still cold.
"Is your life enough?" Lu Sheng said calmly.
Li Ze suddenly stopped being angry and smiled instead.
"You should go find out what my reputation is in the Nian Neng Alliance. I haven't done anything for several years, and it seems that the outside world has forgotten my reputation."
A faint buzzing sound began to come from the suitcase in his hand.
"You are a very self-aware person." Lu Sheng stood up slowly, wearing a tight black vest and the three red marks on his right arm, which became more and more bright as blood.
"If you want to die in front of your daughter, I will grant your wish." Lu Sheng said calmly.
He suddenly raised his hand and pinched it with his fingers.
clang!
With a slight impact, a sharp alloy needle as thin as a cow's hair was clamped tightly between his fingers, unable to move.
Li Ze unexpectedly took action immediately after a disagreement. The veins on his forehead were exposed, and his mind power was running wildly.
But the metal wire seemed to be clamped by some giant machine and could not move at all. The entire translucent metal wire began to glow red and hot. Under the confrontation between the two huge forces, there were even signs of melting.
