There was an island in the center of Yuanle Lake. The locals called it Golden Bell Island. Legend had it that a golden bell hung on it for a hundred years before it mysteriously disappeared.
No one knew how the golden bell came to be, and no one knew how it disappeared.
But those were all legends of the past. Now, Golden Bell Island was filled with red fruit flowers.
Many people contracted land to plant orchards and river banks to breed fish.
Other than that, it was also a gathering place for tourists every year.
The island, which was thousands of meters long, was crowded with more than a dozen farmhouses and entertainment spots.
Although it was the era of technology, there were no signs of advanced technology here.
"Help … help!!" Suddenly, a sharp cry for help came from the river.
"Splash."
A man with bare arms dived into the water and swam toward a young woman who was choking on water.
Soon, he used all his strength to drag the young woman to the shore. He was lying on the riverbank, panting heavily. He was exhausted.
After resting for a while, he got up and wanted to leave.
"Stop! My phone is still in the water! My phone!! "The woman grabbed him and shouted.
"Miss, the water is so fast. Even if you get your phone out, you can't use it," the man said helplessly.
"You're from the rescue team, right? I'll give you three thousand! Help me get my phone out! Hurry! "The woman was covered in jewelry and had a bossy attitude.
"I really can't …" the man replied helplessly. His physical strength was not very good to begin with. It was already a miracle that he could save the woman.
"I don't care. If you don't get my phone out, I'll remember your face. I'm telling you, you can't run away! "
By the riverbank.
An extremely tall and muscular middle-aged man wearing brown sunglasses followed a slightly thinner young man behind him.
The two looked at the young man who was arguing with someone from afar.
"He's doing a good deed. But why can't he be rewarded? "the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
"Because he's doing good deeds, and people take it for granted?" The young man behind him thought for a while and answered.
"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded. "Because he found the wrong person. The person he saved hasn't reached the most desperate moment. So he's not grateful to him. "
"The moment of greatest despair?" The young man was puzzled.
"Just like the house of the person we're going to. It's the same." The middle-aged man watched as the woman grabbed onto the clothes of the rescuer and refused to let go.
"What if the situation itself wouldn't have developed to such an extreme?" the young man asked again.
"It's simple."
The middle-aged man slowly walked over.
Pu.
He suddenly grabbed the hair of the woman who was making a scene, lifted her up, and threw her into the water.
Plop.
"Ahhh!!!" Help!!
Screams and cries for help rang out again.
The man from the rescue team was shocked, but when he saw the woman in the water, he instinctively wanted to jump in to save her.
Bang!
The middle-aged man slashed the side of the man's neck. The man fainted on the spot and fell to the ground.
"Now, she has lost all hope." The middle-aged man looked calmly at the woman struggling in the water. He turned around and walked away slowly.
"Teacher Wang, will she die?" The young man couldn't help but ask. Looking at the woman who was constantly struggling, he seemed to be somewhat unable to bear it.
"Who knows?" Lu Sheng said flatly. "Life is all about choices. In our choices, we have to bear the consequences and variables that come after. "
He paused for a moment.
"For someone like her, it's only a matter of time before she runs into a situation where no one can save her. I'm just helping her a little earlier."
The young man was momentarily speechless. He didn't know what to say.
Although he felt that something was not right, he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
"Let's go." Lu Sheng led him to the faraway dock area.
He knew that his master had restored the situation, giving the lifeguard and the woman a new chance. A new chance to make a new choice.
That was why they came to this small island this time.
The core members of the Platen family lived on this island all year round. The core members of this large family that controlled the largest scale stone mine in the province were three people.
Olin Platen, Caesar Platen, and Li Ze Platen.
These three people controlled ninety-nine percent of the entire family's mining resources. Rather than saying that they belonged to the Platen family, it would be more accurate to say that the Platen family rose to glory because of them.
Among these three, Li Ze Platen was the leader. He led the other two to control the entire family's business.
Jiumingtang's attack was very comprehensive, huge, and very covert. The Platen family had yet to notice it.
Lu Sheng had brought Wei Handong here for another reason as well.
The two walked along the dock area for a while. Soon, they saw a small cluster of riverside villas.
The villas occupied almost half of the entire island.
"This is it." Wei Handong looked at the map and said. "Li Ze lives here all year round. He disguises himself as an ordinary white-collar worker to the outside world. He leaves early and returns late. Until now, his family here doesn't know that he's the biggest controller of Platen. His assets are tens of billions. "
"This is the life he chose," Lu Sheng said lightly. "Giving up fame and wealth, enjoyment, and luxury, all for the sake of staying ordinary and warm. He did the right thing, because the latter is far rarer than the former. "
Wei Handong seemed to have understood something.
"Indeed, as long as you have power and wealth, you can always have luxury, fame, and enjoyment. However, once you lose them, they'll be gone forever. That's because they can't be bought with money. "
"As long as you understand. Money is only a tool used to exchange for resources. Even power can't buy the lost of time and sincerity. "
Lu Sheng slowly walked toward the villas.
At the gate, a few security guards quickly approached, intending to interrogate him. However, Lu Sheng just raised his hand and waved it silently.
All the security guards felt dizzy. When they came back to their senses, there was no one in front of them.
They returned to their posts as if nothing had happened, and continued what they were doing.
Many elderly people were sitting outside, playing chess and chatting. There were also old people playing with their children in public facilities.
The weather was cool, and the temperature was just right. Many people went out.
When Lu Sheng and Lu Sheng arrived at the entrance of a building, a little girl with two ponytails was skipping down the stairs.
When the little girl saw Lu Sheng and Lu Sheng, she slowed down. She seemed a little afraid. That was because their figures were too exaggerated.
Lu Sheng was even more muscular than before. His height was close to two meters, and he could even block an adult's figure if he stood in front of them. This time, he didn't hide his true figure. In An Ming City, he had been using techniques similar to bone shrinking to maintain his figure.
But now that he was out, he didn't have to restrain himself anymore.
Wei Handong, who was behind him, was also 1.8 meters tall. His muscles were so strong that even the loose t-shirt couldn't hide them. There was also a faint look of determination on his face. This was the aura that he had developed recently when he was plundering scale stones from Baijun Castle.
The two of them blocked the staircase, almost blocking the entire exit.
"Don't be afraid. Little friend, tell uncle, where's Li Ze's house? "Lu Sheng smiled, lowered his head, and asked the little girl.
There were four households in this villa. If he didn't ask clearly, he would have to look for them one by one.
The little girl took a step back in fear, and almost fell on her butt on the stairs.
"I … I don't know …" Her little face was very nervous. Suddenly, she ran out from under Lu Sheng's armpit.
Lu Sheng didn't stop her. He just watched her leave.
"According to the information, it's on the second floor. The entire second and third floor belong to his family. "Wei Handong whispered behind him.
"So that little girl just now is also from his family."
"I know." Lu Sheng nodded. Of course, he knew that the little girl was Li Ze's daughter. He also knew that the other party already knew from the moment he entered this neighborhood and came here.
He lowered his head to ask just now to give the other party a signal.
The two of them sat down in a shady pavilion at the side.
Wei Handong took out water and high energy food bars from his backpack. Then, he took out his anti-surveillance device and carefully checked the surroundings.
"Li Ze is a Telekinesis. He had joined a few advanced Telekinesis alliances. But he quit for unknown reasons. If we want to convince him to sell the Scale Stone business, we can start with Telekinesis. "Wei Handong explained.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble." Lu Sheng said calmly. "He'll know why we're here soon. Plus, he'll agree. "
"?" Wei Handong didn't understand. But seeing his master's calm expression, he didn't say anything.
The two of them sat there for more than ten minutes.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties with a gloomy expression walked toward the two of them with a small suitcase in his hand.
The man's facial features were very gentle. He looked no different from a normal teacher. He didn't look like a powerful person at all.
He wore an old-fashioned white shirt and black trousers. He walked to the pavilion and stared coldly at Lu Sheng.
He could tell that Lu Sheng was the leader at first glance.
"Tell me what you're here for. Jiumingtang, why aren't you staying in An Ming City? Why are you here? "
"Everything in this world has its own destiny." Lu Sheng was still sitting there. His gaze fell on the man.
"Li Ze, I want the Scale Stone mine. All of your family's Scale Stone mine."
"What are you going to use to buy it?" Li Ze's tone was still cold.
"Your life. Is that enough? "Lu Sheng said calmly.
Li Ze smiled instead of getting angry.
"You should ask around about my reputation in the Telekinesis Alliance. I haven't made a move in a few years. Looks like the outside world has forgotten about me … "
The briefcase in his hand began to emit a faint buzzing sound.
"You are a very self-aware person." Lu Sheng stood up slowly. The three red dots on his right arm under his tight black singlet were as bright as blood.
"If you want to die in front of your daughter, I'll fulfill your wish," Lu Sheng said calmly.
He raised his hand and pinched.
Clang!
A soft clang was heard. A sharp alloy needle that was as thin as a cow's hair was pinched between his fingers. It couldn't move.
Li Ze actually made a move. The veins on his forehead were bulging. His telekinesis was activated crazily.
However, the metal wire seemed to be pinched by some kind of giant machine. It couldn't move at all. The entire translucent metal wire started to turn red and hot. Under the support of the two forces, it even showed signs of melting.
