Chapter 239 If you never forget it, there will be repercussions

In the shabby office, the smell of engine oil and pungent cigarette smoke mixed together and permeated the air.

Incandescent lamps were hung from the ceiling, casting dim light on several figures sitting in a circle.

It reflects several faces that are either solemn or expectant.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, a slight cough broke the silence.

"Crow, can't you smoke one less cigarette?"

A clear voice like a yellow oriole was then heard, with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"Sorry, I'm a little sleepy and want to wake myself up."

Li Dingjian yawned and crushed the half-burned cigarette in his hand into the ashtray.

"Open the window and let in some air."

The professor spoke in a deep voice and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, Dachui immediately stood up and strode towards the window.

As the window was pushed open with a creak, fresh air brought in the coolness of the night, dispelling the turbid air in the house.

Everyone's spirits were lifted, and they once again focused their attention on the graceful girl in the center.

She was wearing a black dress and her long, smooth hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Those eyes were sparkling, as if hiding bright stars.

Even through the lenses, one can feel the magnificent light blooming from it.

At the same time, the pen in her hand slid lightly across the drawing paper, as if it were given life, wandering freely with her thoughts.

There was silence in the house.

Apart from everyone's gentle breathing, the only sound was the pen tips rubbing against the paper, making a slight rustling sound, as if telling stories.

Gradually, the lines meandered and unfolded, and a detailed and lifelike picture took shape.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, open their eyes wide and watch carefully.

On the white paper, the foggy forest appears before your eyes.

The mist lingered between the gray-black tree trunks, making the forest look deep and mysterious.

Several people opened their mouths wide, seeming to be shouting something.

Some strange shadows appeared behind them, hidden in the mist.

Some of them were hunched over, some were thin and twisted, blurry and unclear, like evil spirits crawling out of hell, ready to devour anyone.

Just the presentation on paper gives off a weird atmosphere that sends chills down one's spine.

And deeper in the thick fog, the shadow of a towering tree vaguely emerged.

The giant tree towered into the sky, and its trunk was so thick that it required dozens of people to hug it.

The huge treetops were dim in the mist, and there were firefly-like lights dancing up and down.

It adds an indescribable touch of mystery to the already bizarre scene.

One has to admire the painter's superb skills, who was able to express the artistic conception so vividly.

Li Dingjian and others were full of admiration in their hearts, but they looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

I don’t know what this painting means.

"Xiao Chu, is this the scene you predicted two days later?"

The professor pondered for a moment, then looked up at the painter with an inquiring look.

"Correct."

Lin Chuqiao nodded slightly, put down the pen, raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyebrows.

After taking a long breath, he expressed his doubts:

"I felt something was wrong when I made the prediction last time. This time, the reaction was even weirder. I didn't even see the shadow of the Golden Bamba Bottle..."

Upon hearing this, the professor couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The results of the three predictions are completely different, and it is obvious that there is a very critical variable.

Or, because the Jinbenbaping involves too many forces and the situation is complicated, the predictions are very different.

Or, someone is also using some kind of deceptive ability to confuse the public and cover up the matter.

As a result, Lin Chuqiao could only catch a glimpse of the scene occasionally and was unable to accurately see the entire picture.

I just don’t know which one is closer to the real picture?

As everyone was thinking, Lin Chuqiao added:

"My prediction ability becomes more accurate as time goes by, and the closer it gets to the real scene, the more accurate it is. So even though this prediction seems to be very off, it should actually be more reliable."

"Miss Lin, what you mean is that the real Golden Bamba Bottle may not be in that manor?"

Li Dingjian suddenly frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he put forward a possibility.

"That's not right!"

Da Hammer then took over the conversation in a muffled voice:

"According to the confessions of those guys who escaped, didn't they see with their own eyes that the Jinbaben bottle was hidden in the underground vault of the manor?"

"Hey, Sledgehammer, why don't you like to use your brain more?"

Bai Ling, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but speak.

When Da Hammer heard this, he argued unconvincedly: "Why don't I use my brain?"

"Don't you know that our opponent is a dignified chaebol family?"

Bai Ling rolled her eyes, her tone full of disappointment:
"What's suspicious is that those guys were obviously average in strength, yet they were able to escape successfully. If the manor's defenses were really that simple, the professor could have taken care of all the guards by himself."

Dahammer was left speechless and scratched his head in embarrassment.

I thought to myself, and it seems to be true.

Listening to everyone's discussions, the professor sat aside with a frown on his face, also lost in deep thought.

Over the past few days, team members have worked together and searched non-stop for clues, and finally locked the target in a manor in the Misty Mountains.

But what followed was beyond expectations. The number of other teams attracted by the treasure was much greater than imagined.

Like sharks smelling blood, they swarmed into this small misty mountain.

It seems that the fact that the Golden Bamba Bottle is hidden in the hands of the Lu family is no longer a secret, but common news.

The professor found something strange, so he asked Lin Chuqiao to do divination again to clarify the target.

Unexpectedly, after another prediction, the situation seemed to become even more bizarre and strange.

After thinking for a moment, the professor's eyes flashed, and then he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

After a few rings, the phone was connected and he spoke first:
"Monkey, how's the situation over there?"

"There is no movement in the manor, but the other teams in the woods are not very well behaved. I have observed that they are moving frequently, and there are more people than yesterday."

After a moment's silence on the other end of the phone, the voice answered in a low and crisp voice.

"Stay alert, stay safe, and report any situation at any time." The professor gave the order and then hung up the phone.

He frowned slightly and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound, as if he was thinking about a very important question.

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him, waiting for him to make the next move.

After a while, the professor suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Chuqiao, with a strange light flashing in his eyes:
"Xiao Chu, do you think there is a possibility that the Lu family's secret inheritance realm is actually hidden in the Misty Mountain?"

Li Dingjian and others were stunned when they heard this. It was obvious that they had no idea what the "secret realm of inheritance" that the professor mentioned was.

Lin Chuqiao frowned slightly, and after a little thought, she said:

"It's possible. The Lu family's old house is in Wanghu Town. They bought the entire mountain two years ago, and there are some sensational stories about it."

"And as far as I know, the Lu family has had a lot of problems in recent years, and the internal situation is quite turbulent. Perhaps this time they used the Golden Benba Bottle as bait to attract outsiders to come and seize the treasure, which is related to their family secret realm."

"That makes sense."

Seeing that Lin Chuqiao had the same idea as him, the professor's expression relaxed a little, and a hint of certainty flashed in his eyes:
"If the other party relies on using the family secret realm to set up a maze, our team has four psychics, so we won't be at a disadvantage in this regard. On the contrary, we will have an advantage over other teams."

Bailing and Dachui were completely confused and felt like the two were playing a game of charades.

Li Dingjian seemed to recall some past events and had some vague guesses.

The professor did not explain much, but continued to tap the table with his fingers, pondered for a while, and whispered to himself:
"It looks like the plan needs to be adjusted slightly."

Then, he looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"The monkeys have already ambushed in the Misty Mountain, and are observing the movements at a fixed point. How have you completed the task I assigned to you yesterday?"

"Professor, I have been very busy these past two days. I have been training very hard. I will make sure that my imitation will be indistinguishable from the real thing."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling responded crisply, her face brimming with confidence:

"If you could give me more detailed information about the key people in the manor, I could be better prepared."

Lin Chuqiao then took out a stack of printed documents from his briefcase and said in an orderly manner:
"All the information that can be collected about the Lu family is here. You can familiarize yourself with it in advance. It includes information about the main members of the Lu family, the industrial structure, and their development in the real estate and security industries in recent years. It is very important for us to understand the enemy situation."

As he spoke, he reached out and distributed them to everyone.

The professor took the information, quickly flipped through a few pages, and nodded slightly.

Li Dingjian then spoke:
"I have contacted an old friend I trust. The ship is docked at the pier and can leave Xia Country at any time. The supplies on board are enough to sustain us for a while. There is also enough fuel, so even if we encounter an emergency, we don't have to worry too much."

"it is good."

After listening to everyone's explanation of the mission execution, the professor said solemnly:

"This operation is quite risky. We are facing a behemoth like the Lu family. If we make a mistake, I'm afraid we will have no place to stand in the East in the future."

"Therefore, we must take all the circumstances into consideration and resolve all worries before taking action, so that we can give it a try."

After a pause, the professor raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing some determination and decisiveness:

"I decided that the original plan should continue as usual, but just in case, we should also have a backup plan B to ensure that we can get out safely regardless of success or failure."

As he spoke, he briefly described to everyone the preliminary plan framework that he had just conceived in his mind.

Everyone nodded frequently, their eyes shining, and they admired the professor's foresight even more.

For a moment, everyone opened up and talked, looking for omissions and shortcomings, and perfected the plan together.

Before I knew it, the hands of the clock on the wall had moved past a few marks and it was almost midnight.

The night outside the window is as dark as ink and the lights are sparse.

"Okay, that's all for today's gathering."

The professor stood up, looked at everyone with a sharp gaze, and finally gave an instruction:
"Plan B is our 'safety valve' and we must not be careless. I will be responsible for its implementation together with Hammer and Monkey."

"For the next two days, you should have a good rest, get enough energy, and wait for my call at any time. Meeting adjourned!"

Everyone stood up one after another and said goodbye and left with different feelings, some excited, some nervous.

Lin Chuqiao picked up the bag and looked at Li Dingjian who was walking in front of her, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

Should I tell Fang Cheng about this? Or should I tell Li Dingjian that Fang Cheng has extraordinary abilities?
After all, if Fang Cheng participated in this operation, the success rate would definitely be much higher.

Although the professor's plan was very strict and comprehensive, what he and others were facing was, after all, an old family with strength beyond imagination.

The process will inevitably be full of dangers and will not be smooth sailing. The more help we can get, the more protection we will have.

Lin Chuqiao opened her mouth, then changed her mind and decided to give up.

The nephew and uncle are hiding things from each other, and if you rashly say something too much, you will seem like a gossiper.

Lin Chuqiao shook her head slightly, thinking of the man who always made her feel dependent, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

He immediately suppressed his thoughts, took out his keys, and walked towards his car parked on a nearby street.

The soles of her boots hit the ground, making a crisp sound, and she blends into the city night with the posture of a modern girl.

At the same time, on the other side of the city, in a luxurious hotel room.

Fang Cheng had just finished enjoying a hot bath and stood up from the bathtub.

In the mist, he stretched his body comfortably after exercising, and his bones made a slight "cracking" sound.

Suddenly, a sneeze came out without any warning.

Fang Cheng rubbed his nose, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to himself:
“Who else is missing me?”

This is a good thing!

Ever since he absorbed all the "distractions and demons" that were bothering him, his mental attributes increased by 2 points.

Whether Fang Cheng was practicing meditation or in his daily life, he rarely heard the kind of whispering that sounded like prayers or the nagging of ghosts.

Although it makes my ears quieter, my actual income is also reduced for no reason.

According to the spiritual practice taught by the mysterious person:
“Spiritual practice is like thunder in an empty valley, cascading and surging, wave after wave, without end, and then it is imprinted in the heart and connects to the other side.”

"Everything that you keep in mind will have a response..."

Fang Cheng pondered secretly.

Maybe more people miss me, and there will be more external consciousnesses attracted and attached to the spiritual fire.

Then, my spiritual strength will naturally increase.

The warm yellow light shines on the sturdy body, reflecting the clear muscle lines.

After drying his body with a towel, Fang Cheng casually put on a loose pair of pajamas, walked to the window, and gently opened a corner of the curtain.

Looking at Yulong Lake under the moonlight, my thoughts gradually drift away.

At this time, there were indeed many people who were thinking about Fang Cheng.

One of them is living in the same hotel.

In a suite somewhere, the lights were still bright at midnight.

The three of them sat on the sofa, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

"Black Wolf, who is that person you are talking about?"

Someone suddenly asked.
