CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 509: SOMETHING HAPPENED AGAIN IN ANCIENT TIMES

"Just as expected."

"No good intentions at all."

Outside Zhu Luoluo’s window, of course, were Lu Zheng and Lin Wan.

Once they found out her identity, they naturally knew her address. So the two of them immediately came to her usual residence, only to find that Lei Zhiyun had acted even faster and had already blocked her.

Lu Zheng thought Lei Zhiyun would angrily accuse her of playing with his feelings.

Little did he know, Lei Zhiyun was terrified, being just a humble programmer. When had he ever encountered commercial espionage or honey traps like in novels or TV shows? At this moment, the best choice was to quickly extricate himself from the situation.

After Zhu Luoluo finished her phone call, Lu Zheng, who understood Japanese, also learned what was going on.

Apparently, the research project of Lei Zhiyun’s company overlapped with theirs and was about to be completed, but the other side was also stuck at the final step.

So they couldn’t hold back and sent Zhu Luoluo to steal the final plans.

Due to the urgency, Zhu Luoluo showed some anxiousness, which allowed Lu Zheng to spot a flaw. He checked into it and exposed her.

Zhu Luoluo had just been harshly reprimanded over the phone and sulked for a while before putting on makeup, preparing to go out for some shopping to relax.

She had a good family background and worked as a part-time commercial spy to serve her country, so once the matter was over, life moved on.

Well, at least until China and Japan completely fall out with each other.

Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng, "What should we do?"

Lu Zheng smirked, knowing that dealing with such a minor character was simple... well, better to keep a low profile... especially since he had ways to make her wish she was dead.

Lu Zheng asked with a smile, "What is her biggest asset?"

Lin Wan raised an eyebrow, "Her looks?"

Zhu Luoluo was changing clothes at the moment, taking off her home pajamas, leaving only her bra and panties, and was selecting clothes in front of the closet.

A curvaceous figure, with alluring curves and contours, indeed sparked imagination.

Lin Wan had to admit, even she, before cultivation, couldn’t match Zhu Luoluo’s attractiveness.

"Yes, pretty. Then let’s make sure she’ll never be associated with the word ’pretty’ ever again."

Lu Zheng flicked his fingers, and a spell seal shot through the window and into Zhu Luoluo’s body.

"What kind of talisman?"

"A reduced version of the Gourmand Curse, with a little enhancement to her digestive system."

"So?"

"She’ll feel hungry, eat more than usual, and all the energy from the food will stay in her body, turning into fat."

"Hiss—"

"Don’t worry, it will be just three hundred pounds, and once it reaches the limit, the effects will weaken, she won’t die from obesity."

"You might as well have killed her."

Lin Wan imagined herself turning into a three-hundred-pound fatty...

She’d want to die...

Lu Zheng chuckled and added another sentence without restraint, "And it’s all fat, no muscle."

"Ugh!"

"It takes effect in three days, visible in half a month, minor transformation in two months, major transformation in three months."

"Let’s go, let’s go."

Lin Wan could no longer look directly at the curvaceous figure in the apartment; she glanced at her with pity and dragged Lu Zheng away.

Then, the two sneaked into the Japanese school in Hai City for a tour, observing the teaching materials.

"What the—!"

"Shameless!"

Lu Zheng moved his fingers, itching to wipe the school off the map.

Lin Wan started taking photos as evidence.

"Huh?" Lu Zheng asked curiously, "Didn’t you say they didn’t break any laws?"

"That’s because no one’s reported them, no one’s discovered them!" Lin Wan pointed to the patrolling security guards on campus, "Initially thought it was just oral transmission, but no evidence. Didn’t expect that for decades with no issues, they’ve brazenly brought these things into the country. Since that’s the case, I’ll gather evidence and report them."

Lu Zheng gave a thumbs-up, "Awesome!"

This was good; he didn’t have to exert effort and expose himself, and using national power would thoroughly solve the future problems.

The two toured around and then left. Lu Zheng went home while Lin Wan went to find Huang Xiumin.

...

The next day, the Japanese school in Hai City was shut down and rectified, while speculation and discussions about the Japanese school began to spread widely on the internet.

...

Over the next half month, Lu Zheng continued running between two worlds, until late September, joining Tong Muxuan and Su Mengmeng’s wedding with Lin Wan.

They paid the gift money, attended the banquet, and soon it was the October holidays.

However...

"What? Okay, I got it, I’ll go to the meeting right now."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng with a slightly helpless gaze, "There’s a case, I need to go to a meeting, likely a business trip."

Lu Zheng could only shrug and say, "Alright, where to?"

"Japan."

"Japan again?"

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright then, can you exchange work shifts after working overtime during the holidays?"

Lin Wan nodded, "Of course you can!"

"That’s great!" Lu Zheng said, "National day trips are terribly crowded, once you come back, we can go out when the crowd has thinned."

"That does make some sense, huh?"

"It makes a lot of sense." Lu Zheng’s hand slid over the hill, "So, during your business trip, you can consider where to take a vacation."

Lin Wan’s eyes flashed, she smiled lightly, and then flipped over and mounted him.

...

With Lin Wan gone, Lu Zheng became all alone again... Just kidding!

After spending a delightful night in the Peach Blossom Forest, Lu Zheng flew back to Tonglin County, supporting his waist.

From afar, he saw Liu Qingyan accompanying Elder Liu to Renxin Hall, Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan reading books together.

Lu Zheng didn’t descend but instead turned in the sky and descended on a cloud near the alley by Leping Building, revealing himself.

"Huh? Mr. Fan?"

Lu Zheng rewarded a servant with two Copper Coins, just as he went upstairs and saw Fan Boyu talking to Old Master Wang in the front row.

Lu Zheng approached them and asked, "Mr. Fan, aren’t you tutoring Yue Yao today?"

Fan Boyu shook his head, "Yue Yao hasn’t gone back to Yizhou to visit her parents for quite some time, she left this morning and will return the afternoon after tomorrow."

Lu Zheng nodded, understanding.

Come to think of it, Du Yueyao would go back to Yizhou for three days each month, but because of the matter with Fan Boyu last time, she hadn’t gone back for a while. After becoming Fan Boyu’s student, it seems she went back once.

It was indeed time to visit, or else Du Yuru and his wife might think their daughter was kidnapped.

Lu Zheng sat down beside Fan Boyu, the servant served tea and snacks, then Lu Zheng turned to Old Master Wang, "How is Xiaowan?"

Old Master Wang could not stop smiling, "Good, good, good. She came home a few days ago, said she had started cultivation and everything went smoothly. She really needs to thank Master Shouyi for his excellent teachings!"

Fan Boyu rolled his eyes, "Master Shouyi isn’t here, can’t hear you."

Lu Zheng nodded, "That sounds good."

With Wang Xiaowan’s cultivation going well, he felt assured in receiving the Thunder Technique.

After exchanging a few words, the storyteller appeared from behind the stage, stepped onto the platform, and with a clap of the gavel, both Lu Zheng and Fan Boyu’s gazes immediately tightened.

"Young Master Lu! Mr. Fan! My lady has been kidnapped!"
