Chapter 39: Nature, Greed

Zhou Wu had countless lives on his hands, so he could clearly feel the murderous intent in Su Lie's words. He knew that if he didn't say anything, the other party would definitely kill him, but if he said it, would he definitely survive?

It's just a pity that Xiaofeng's medical expenses have not been collected yet.
"Donghai City First People's Hospital, bed 301 on the fourth floor. If you don't tell me, your son will die." The tone was still cold, but this time it really made Zhou Wu feel the chill from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his cold face looked extremely hideous at this moment.

"Ahem, I, I don't know either. My boss and I have always communicated via encrypted phone calls and have never met in person."

While Zhou Wu was talking, Su Lie was listening to his heartbeat. From his steady heartbeat, Su Lie knew that he was not lying.

Since he didn't lie, it meant that he was useless. Looking at Zhou Wu's pleading eyes, maybe he was a good father in the eyes of his son, but in the eyes of those he targeted and arrested, he was an absolute devil.

Su Lie had no intention of becoming a hero who eliminated harm for the people, but ever since Zhou Wu dared to extend his tentacles towards him, he was doomed to die.

Click!

With a slight application of force, Zhou Wu's head was tilted 90 degrees on his neck, with a pleading look still in his wide-open eyes.

Ignoring the corpse at his feet, Su Lie took out an old flip phone from the other person's shirt pocket, entered the password detected by his super vision, and opened the address book. It was empty except for a call record from an hour ago.

After pressing the dial button, the phone rang twice and someone on the other end answered. However, no one spoke after answering. It was obvious that the other party was waiting for Su Lie to speak.

"Idiot, I'm your dad!"

He spoke extremely insulting words in a calm tone, and then the other party decisively hung up the phone as Su Lie had expected.

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Su Lie smiled. The moment the phone was hung up, his mind sensed a strong malice, but the direction of the malice was extremely vague.

Telepathy is just like Su Lie's super vision and hearing, it has a range limit. If it is within the range, Su Lie can accurately lock the source of the evil just by sensing the evil. But beyond the range, although Su Lie can still sense the evil, he cannot accurately locate it, and can only vaguely determine the approximate direction.

However, this was enough for Su Lie.

After crushing the corpse into ashes with one foot, Su Lie turned his gaze and determined a vague direction following the malicious intent. Then he moved and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

After three transformations, Su Lie's speed has already exceeded Mach 30. Now, when he runs at full speed, his body is invisible to the naked eye. Only the violent roar of sonic booms is heard in the air.

Su Lie's iron body rubbed violently against the air. In less than a second, all his clothes were burned clean by the high temperature generated by the friction.

That night, the sound of thunder could be heard in the wilderness of Qingyuan City and dozens of other cities. The residents in the city were so frightened that they thought it was going to rain heavily and closed their doors and windows overnight.

Tiangui Province is separated from Longyou Province where Qingyuan City is located by three provinces. The straight-line distance between the two is 5242 km. Even if you take the high-speed rail in a straight line, it will take more than ten hours to reach the destination.

However, Su Lie ran all the way from Qingyuan City and arrived at Qinhe City, the capital of Tiangui Province, in a few minutes.

Following the extremely clear feeling in his heart, Su Lie disappeared again and headed towards a business building in the city center.

Qinhe City, on the top floor of a high-end business building. Yue Ming sat on a leather sofa. He was wearing a well-cut high-end suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was combed meticulously. Even though he was nearly fifty years old, his well-maintained face still made him look like he was just over forty.

However, his elegant face was full of gloom at this moment because of a phone call he received a few minutes ago.

No one knew that this socialite, a wealthy and famous person who was often published in financial magazines, was secretly the manager of a certain section of the deep network. Over the years, from the time he founded the company from scratch to the time when he developed the company into a star enterprise in Tiangui Province, he had used the power of "Glacier" to secretly conduct money and sex transactions.

His partners have always been high-ranking officials, seeking benefits from this. This is how his wealth was accumulated so quickly that he could stand at the height he is today and look down on the common people.

He stood up and stood in front of the French window, looking at the neon night scene outside the window, and the crowds of people swarming like ants on the ground below. Once upon a time, he was also one of them, thinking only about three meals a day, a wife and children.

But as the company started to grow, his ambition grew, and he wanted the luxury and power that wealth brought. Even now, even though he has reached the pinnacle that ordinary people cannot reach in hundreds of lifetimes, he still wants more.

The pursuit of power and wealth seemed to have become his instinct, making him indifferent to life. He let his nature drive his body and greed dominate his mind. Even so, he did not think he was wrong, because everyone in this position was like this.

dong dong~

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. Yue Ming frowned slightly, and after walking back to the sofa and sitting down, he spoke in a deep voice:
"Come in!"

"Chairman, Village Chief Wu from Wugou Village is here to see you." The secretary walked in and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yue Ming said with an unhappy look: "What is he doing here? Let him in."

The secretary left after hearing the order. A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open and a man with a plain face and wearing an old suit that didn't fit him well walked in.

"Yueming, President Yue! I know you are a big shot now, but you are from our village. You can't just watch the old people and children in the village die!" Village Chief Wu knelt down and begged in a hoarse voice.

"Uncle Wu, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Yue Ming walked slowly to the front of Village Chief Wu, looking embarrassed.

"The factory next to the village is discharging sewage all day long. We went to their door to reason with them, but they said the sewage meets the discharge requirements. But don't we know whether it meets the requirements? All the aquatic products raised in the village have died, and even the filtered water is poisonous and cannot be drunk!"

Village Chief Wu looked at Yue Ming with a painful expression, pleadingly: "I know the factory belongs to your company, Mr. Yue. Please, help them stop!"

Looking at the man who was almost about to kowtow, Yue Ming remained calm, with a cold look in his eyes, but he consoled him, "Is that so? Didn't you contact the regulatory authorities about this? I was too busy to notice this."

"I have searched, I have searched everywhere! It is useless, so I have the nerve to trouble Mr. Yue."

"Okay, I know about this." Yue Ming pulled Village Chief Wu up and said to him in his hopeful eyes, "Don't worry, I will go to investigate tomorrow. If this is the case, I will definitely stop the work and rectify the situation!"

"Thank you, thank you! Yue Ming, I thank you on behalf of all the villagers!" Village Chief Wu burst into tears and finally left the office after Yue Ming's repeated assurances.

Sitting back on the sofa, Yue Ming dialed the phone with a cold face: "What are you doing! How long has it been? There are still people making trouble in the factory!"

A voice came from the other end of the line: "Boss Yue, I have tried every possible means, but there are a few stubborn people who refuse to give in, especially the head of Wugou Village, who is a stubborn old man."

"Then let them shut up forever! Do I need to say more? It just so happens that South Vietnam needs a few manpower recently, you can take care of it. Remember, I don't want to hear similar voices again, understand?" At the end, Yue Ming's voice had become very calm.

However, the voice on the other end of the phone trembled a little: "Yes, yes!"

"Phew! These idiots, they make me worry about such a small matter..."
