From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Um... then what's the purpose of hiding your identity?" Red Girl didn't understand. Wasn't this obviously telling everyone that it was Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe that did it?

"It's very simple. Even if others really believe that it was our Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe that did it, before we catch them red-handed, speculation will always remain speculation."

Jiang Liu chuckled. "By the way, remember to give yourself a cool nickname. Hmm—what do you think of 'Wonder Woman'?"

Red Girl's eyelids twitched. She was extremely displeased with this nickname and said, "You really don't know how to name people. I've already thought of one: Plum Blossom Thirteen."

"Does it have any meaning?" Jiang Liu asked curiously.

"It's not very profound. Before the Moon Gate disappeared, I was actually my father's thirteenth disciple. The first twelve disciples either starved to death or changed professions... As for plum blossoms, I have five throwing knives, and plum blossoms have exactly five petals, so that's it." Red Girl revealed a kind of proud spirit similar to "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold".

"It sounds nice, whatever you like."

After saying that, Jiang Liu added, "I still think Wonder Woman sounds better."

"..."

While her Moon Gate's deceptive and cunning tricks are indeed amazing, isn't it a bit too obvious to use the word "amazing" as a prefix before "female knight-errant"?

Therefore, Hong Guniang rolled her eyes at Jiang Liu, let down the hair that was coiled at the back of her head, and tied it into a braid that reached down to her lower back.

After changing her hairstyle, Hong Guniang thought for a moment, then tied a throwing knife to the end of her braid and added a tuft of bangs to her forehead.

"What do you think?" the girl in red asked.

"good."

To be honest, Jiang Liu felt that if Hong Guniang changed into black clothes and wore a light green cheongsam, she could be an assassin...

How come he never noticed before that the Red Girl's face was quite similar to that of "Plum Blossom Thirteen"?

The words are divided into two parts.

Lu Jin and Sai Huohou also learned more about the Azure Dragon Society from Boss Cha.

"I don't know the exact location of the Azure Dragon Society's headquarters. As for the Azure Dragon Society, the White Tiger Hall, the Vermilion Bird Hall, and the Black Tortoise Hall, I only know the exact location of the Vermilion Bird Hall. The White Tiger Hall is a nightclub and brothel, but I don't know which one it is. The Black Tortoise Hall is the most mysterious, involved in drug trafficking and child abduction. I guess it's in the slum area."

Boss Cha also had a chivalrous heart. When he learned that Jiang Liu wanted to deal with Zhao Liren, he supported him. He had not been in contact with many superhumans and did not know much about their rules.

In the past, we did not take the initiative to target Zhao Liren, not only because we wanted to keep to ourselves, but also because we had not thought of a good countermeasure and were afraid of getting into trouble.

He wasn't afraid on his own, but now that he owned a theater, was both its most popular martial arts actor and the owner, and had taken on so many apprentices to make a living, he had to consider their safety...

Did Jiang Liu not consider the safety of his subordinates?

The moment Boss Cha had this question in mind, he saw Lu Jin and Sai Huohou sitting in front of him and learned the answer:

Jiang Liu considered it.

They were all willing to work together!

"As for the Green Dragon Society, it is mainly responsible for contacting foreigners. For convenience, it is definitely located near the Qiantang River area, which is some distance from the urban area near West Lake. However, it must also have a base here to handle the contact... possibly near the detective team."

Boss Cha analyzed the location of the Green Dragon Society headquarters and its strongholds for Lu Jin and Sai Huohou. "Zhao Li has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds in this area. He has connections everywhere, and many high-ranking officials and nobles in the city have to show him respect. This makes him extremely arrogant!"

"Thank you for informing me, Boss Cha."

Lu Jin noted it down and then asked, "What is the military strength of the Azure Dragon Society's strongholds and headquarters?"

"The headquarters reportedly has over a hundred people, but only about ten have guns; the rest carry machetes, crowbars, and the like. They're basically a small-time warlord in the city! And the outpost here—"

After thinking for a while, Boss Cha guessed, "At least we can't be too ostentatious on the surface, so as not to embarrass those who are more powerful than us. There are probably only twenty or thirty people, but each of them is armed."

"Twenty or thirty people? That's not difficult to handle."

In Lu Jin's view, the troublesome thing was the hundreds of people at the Qinglong Society headquarters in the Qiantang River area!

As a criminal organization, their combat skills may not match those of the soldiers in warlord armies, but they are definitely more focused on "loyalty"—if one is in trouble, help will come from all directions.

This will save them the time of searching one by one.

only!

The final outcome must be something that can be made public so that the people of the city know that the Green Dragon Society is gone, and everyone will be happy.

However, it is best to deal with organized crime in secret, otherwise it will definitely cause widespread panic!

Underworld forces among ordinary people —

The sects in the world of supernatural beings also dislike it, but since it involves conflicts between supernatural beings and ordinary people, they find it difficult to intervene, and in most cases, they will not or dare not intervene, lest they give others cause for gossip.

However, if the underworld forces go too far, then the extraordinary person can also retaliate with swift and decisive measures, but once things escalate, they will have to bear the consequences themselves.

Furthermore, in this process, as long as others do not have substantial evidence, then even if they have done it, it is equivalent to not having done it.

and so--

This matter requires careful consideration.

# Chapter 221 An unexpected encounter with cousin Lu Mingfei

After thanking Boss Cha, Lu Jin took Sai Huohou to the street where the detective team was located.

Unlike the bustling city streets, the street where the detective team was located had few pedestrians, and the shops on both sides mostly sold furniture, jewelry and high-end clothing.

After the two men found the detective team's location, they were about to investigate the area to find the stronghold that connected with the Green Dragon Society headquarters and take it down when they saw a young man wearing a plaid suit and a camera hanging around his neck being kicked out of the detective team's gate.

"Kid, I'm warning you, don't cause us any trouble!"

The detective, dressed in black, sneered, "You want to interview the captain yourself? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? How shameless are you?"

After saying this, the man and his colleagues burst into laughter.

The young man, humiliated, wore an angry expression but dared not utter a sound. He could only pick up his camera and carefully examine the damage.

"Get out of here!"

After laughing, the man cursed, "Don't give us more work!"

No matter how indignant the young man was, there was nothing he could do but turn around and leave.

But after walking only thirty or fifty meters, an arm reached out from an alley and grabbed him, pulling him inside.

"Walk."

Lu Jin spoke succinctly and walked towards the alley. As soon as she got close, she heard the shouts of the assailant and the cries of the victim.

"Lu Mingfei, right?"

"Yong, huh? You dare to interview the detective squad, huh?"

"court death!"

"..."

Seeing that the assailant had pulled out a dagger, Lu Jin swung a palm, unleashing a burst of magnetic field that sent the man sprawling.

Saihuohou then leaped into the air and stepped on the man's shoulders and back to prevent him from faking unconsciousness and taking the opportunity to escape.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Jin helped the reporter up and asked, "Your name is Lu Mingfei?"

One of his cousins, also named Lu Mingfei, is said to have joined a warlord in the northern region.

"Thank you both for saving my life!" After standing up, Lu Mingfei, despite his bruised and swollen face, clasped his hands in gratitude to the two men.

"Do you know anything about the Extraordinary People?"

Lu Jin then noticed that his breathing was much more steady than that of ordinary people. He was not an extraordinary person, but he also had a sense of Qi. He must know some methods of Qi cultivation, but due to his aptitude, he had not mastered many techniques. He had only made his body healthier than that of ordinary people.

"Yes, actually, my mother's family is quite famous in the supernatural community. You should have heard of them. They are the Lu family, one of the four great families: Lu, Lü, Wang, and Gao Zhong."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and chuckled, "My dad married into the family, so I also have the surname Lu."

Is he really my cousin?

Hearing Lu Mingfei say this, Lu Jin became suspicious and decided to test him, asking, "I heard that a member of the Lu family has sided with a warlord? Is that you?"

"it's me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei's face fell, and he said with a wry smile, "The Lu family doesn't leave wealth to their descendants, and I don't have strong Qi cultivation aptitude, so I can only go out and work on my own."

I initially allied myself with a warlord, hoping to change the world, but I eventually discovered that the warlord himself was one of the root causes of the chaos in the world.

So, taking advantage of my family background, I found a supernatural being and asked him to help me fake my death and escape to the south. In this city of transition, I became a reporter in order to find a way to save the world and bring about change.

"But wouldn't my actions violate the Lu family rules?"

Lu Jin believed these words to a large extent and asked, "If we're talking about a transition between the old and the new, isn't Shanghai better?"

"Indeed, it is more developed over there, but it is also more influenced by foreigners."

Lu Mingfei smiled wryly, "I can barely be considered well-versed in both Chinese and Western learning, and I know that the Western system cannot completely replace everything we originally had!"

Compared to Shanghai, this place is the best choice!

Our civilization originated from the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and this place is located on the banks of the Qiantang River. The river flows directly into Hangzhou Bay and then into the East China Sea. The roads are also well-connected, leading to the inland areas in the west, the sea in the east, Beijing in the north, and Taipei in the south.

Although the emperor is gone, to be honest, geographically speaking, Hangzhou is a city that can rival Beijing in the north.

The capitals of emperors throughout history were located in the north because the southern region had not yet been fully developed, and besides defending against the Xiongnu in the north, they did not look to the sea.

We are at a time of great change. Whether China is dominated by us or foreigners, the global landscape will shift dramatically, because the world is vast, and extends far beyond China.

After listening to Lu Mingfei's long speech, Lu Jin suddenly realized that the other party wanted to persuade her, or rather, wanted to use the power of the supernatural.

This cousin's thoughts are similar to Brother Jiang's.

“That makes a lot of sense, cousin.”

"cousin?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned, then realized what he meant and asked, "Are you also from the Lu family?"

"Lu Jin".

Lu Jin grinned, "According to seniority, I should indeed call you cousin."

"Lu Jin? My aunt's son."

Lu Mingfei also remembered that when he was corresponding with his mother to let her know he was safe, he did learn that his aunt had given birth to a son, but he had never met him. He never expected to see him in Nanhang. "I heard that you have joined the Sanyi Sect?"

"Yes, but it's not going back anytime soon." Lu Jin sighed as she spoke of this.
