Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 40 Gin, Vodka
This is the best opportunity for Zhou Ming to take action, but it is also a flaw.

How could he, a master of martial arts with superb skills, feel uncomfortable after seeing a corpse?
However, this flaw was also covered up by his identity and past experience.

He was the adopted son of the Prime Minister and a pampered young master. He joined the Quanzhen Sect at the age of ten and studied martial arts for ten years before returning.

During the past six months, there has been almost no conflict with anyone or any force.

With such life experience, having never killed anyone personally, it is understandable that he feels a little uncomfortable when seeing a corpse.

Here, Zhou Ming originally planned to let the maid beside him give the order to take the body away.

But no one expected that Jiang Long, a captain of the police in the officialdom, was so sensible. Upon seeing this, he gave orders first and asked the constables to take the body away.

The perfect energy did not work immediately because Zhou Ming used his own true energy to wrap the perfect energy and sent it into Boss Qian's body.

In this way, the perfect energy will only take effect after the true energy is depleted.

This prevents the perfect energy from taking effect immediately and being noticed by others.

This is not a flaw. When martial arts masters check their enemies, they will send a strand of true energy into the body to check.

Immediately afterwards, the truth about Luo Ma was revealed, and Lu Xiaofeng led everyone to find Yue Qing and his daughter, and naturally there were a large number of constables following them.

In the end, there were only a few constables left guarding the body, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

Not to mention what happened afterwards.

The final result was that Lu Xiaofeng saw Boss Qian regain his youth.

Take the portrait and ask around.

The more I asked, the more I began to doubt life.

It is worth mentioning that there are also marks left by Zhou Ming on the portrait, so in the past few days, no matter where Lu Xiaofeng ran to or who he asked, he could see Lu Xiaofeng's expression of doubt about life but also very entangled.

Every time he saw it, Zhou Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This incident became his only source of happiness in the past few days.

It even gave him the same pleasure as watching live broadcasts in his previous life.

"However, Lu Xiaofeng is Lu Xiaofeng. Once he understands, he will definitely discover many problems. The biggest problem here lies in my novel!"

Zhou Ming thought to himself, "Then let's prepare for Lu Xiaofeng to come and ask questions."

But in fact, Lu Xiaofeng did not come over immediately.

The next morning, Qianjin Pavilion.

"I've always wanted to ask, why are you always fishing every time I come to see you?"

"I've always wanted to ask, why do you always come to see me in the morning? Actually, I usually only fish in the morning, practice in the afternoon, and do something else in the evening."

"Well, that's really unfortunate..."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I am used to finishing all the things at hand, and then using the remaining time to enjoy everything. But sometimes, some things cannot be solved immediately...

For example, yesterday evening, I wanted to come see you, but I thought it was too late and the time was not right, so I didn't come. So this morning, I came to see you immediately."

"So, what do you want from me?"

Lu Xiaofeng took out a book, which turned out to be the novel "The Detective Lu Xiaofeng" written by Zhou Ming, and asked, "Why does this mysterious organization in your book have a drug that can rejuvenate people?"

"Because they're researching the villain organization I've created. The boss behind it is just a dying old man who wants to regain his youth."

"Then may I ask what kind of wine is Gin?"

"There's no such wine. I just made it up from 'The Eight Drinks of the Drunken Immortal'. It goes best with the sound of the zither, so it's called gin."

"Eight Drinks of the Wine Immortal?"

"That's another book I wrote... Anyway, it has nothing to do with this one." "What's vodka?"

"Водка means 'a small amount of water'. It's the language of the northern Rakshasa country. You know it's freezing cold there, and people need something to keep warm, and strong liquor fits that need. Later, when the distillation technology was passed on, the people there created an extremely strong liquor, which is Водка!"

Lu Xiaofeng was surprised: "You actually understand the language of Luosha Country?"

"Only a little."

Zhou Ming gestured and said, "In fact, I plan to use the names of drinks as code names for all senior members of this organization. But to be honest, we generally have too few names for our drinks.

And the more we listened to it ourselves, the more we felt it was too close to everyday life and didn’t sound impressive. So I looked at drinks from other countries, especially those in the Western Regions, the East China Sea, and the Arctic.

"You are truly knowledgeable and insightful!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Zhou Mingdao said, "But why are you suddenly so interested in my novel? You even want to dig deeper into the setting? I'm telling you, I won't give you any spoilers!"

Lu Xiaofeng closed the book and said, "Do you think such an organization... could really exist?"

"Um……"

Zhou Ming thought for a moment, looked up at the sky, and said, "Perhaps there is... You know, in this world, there are actually many organizations, big and small, strong or weak, open or secret. And things like immortality and rejuvenation are often what most people in high positions desire.

So, I think there must be many organizations researching this. Maybe somewhere, there's an organization or a person who has discovered the true secret to rejuvenation.

At this point, he said seriously, "You also know that my adoptive father has a very powerful force under his command. Perhaps, there is a group of people in this force who are researching a drug that can restore youth!"

Neither is certain.

It's not a denial either.

But this answer completely dispelled all suspicion about him.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed secretly in his heart.

But he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While it's a bit disappointing not to get an answer, it's also good news.

There are so many monarchs, emperors, princes, generals, and even leaders of various forces, big and small, who all desire immortality and rejuvenation.

If such a miracle drug really appeared in the world, then all the people who had anything to do with it would probably be caught in the vortex and die without leaving a trace!

"You said, if there really is such an organization in the world that has created a miracle drug that can rejuvenate people, and it just happened... or there was some kind of coincidence that allowed Boss Qian to obtain this miracle drug..."

As Lu Xiaofeng was speaking, he noticed Zhou Ming turned around and looked at him with a complicated look that seemed to be asking, "Are you sick?", "Have you taken your medicine?", and "I want to see what you can say."

He was so angry that he almost slapped her.

"What are you looking at?! I'm serious!"

Lu Xiaofeng said angrily: "Although you three have verified it, I still feel that Boss Qian is not dead."

"not dead?"

Zhou Ming frowned: "If that's the case, then the problem will be serious?"

"Yes, the problem is serious..."

"No, you don't understand! If Boss Qian isn't dead, that means..."

Zhou Ming said seriously: "...In the competition between you and me, you lost! So... go dig earthworms for me! Hahahahaha..."

"I'll go to you!"

Lu Xiaofeng grabbed a handful of fish food from the side, threw it into the lake, and then turned and left.
