Chapter 938: Chapter 5 Career and Love are Equally Important (Request for Monthly Tickets)
After having late-night snacks with Li Mumu, I rushed back to the police station, and it was already past ten o’clock.
A day’s absence, and the work at the desk had piled up into a mountain.
First was the matter at the school, where the mastermind behind the scenes had already been captured and brought to justice.
This guy nad Mu Lianqiu wasn’t from the Mu family’s Yu generation, not even considered a mber of the Mu family; he was more of a distant relative from outside the five relations.
But relying on the Mu family’s reputation, he expanded his own business significantly.
There used to be a saying, once a person’s intelligence doesn’t match their wealth, the excess wealth will flow back into the market in different forms.
Mu Lianqiu was a typical example of this, making a lot of money and starting to beco arrogant and conceited. And after evading several rounds of crackdown, he thought he was blessed with good luck, a strong destiny, and unlimited potential for future achievents.
Indeed, so people are just so immature in their mindset, with their own set of values, completely disbelieving in the governnt’s official rhetoric, such as cracking down on organized cri, dealing with corruption…
He didn’t believe any of it, insisting it was just a way to persecute dissenters and oppress different factions.
Since I’m part of the Mu family, I’m not within the scope of the crackdown, so I can do whatever I want.
When he got arrested, he was still incredibly arrogant, yelling things like, “You have no right to arrest !” “I’m a legitimate businessman!” “I know XXX!” “You better think carefully about the consequences of your actions!”
Two hours later, he was completely subdued.
He confessed to all the shady things he had done in detail.
Ultimately, it was still a money issue; he wanted to win the contract for the school’s coal supply—such a large school, boiler coal is no small matter.
After Mu Yuming investigated his qualifications and background, he found out this guy had no qualifications or background.
He was just leaning on the Mu surna, shalessly trying to make money.
Thus, he turned him down.
This didn’t just bring disgrace to Mu Lianqiu; it also made many others like him lose face. They felt Mu Yuming was being immature, not following the rules, and not considering relationships.
When a relative cos to dine at your house, it’s an acknowledgnt of your worth. How could this kid be so clueless?
As ti went on, resentnts accumulated and deepened, leading to the current situation.
Mu Yuming didn’t indulge them; he reported to the police and followed the official process.
Besides Mu Lianqiu, others who were also apprehended included the bookseller and owner of the bookstore, as well as those creators of vulgar novels.
Writing fanfiction and derivatives about the President is not a problem, but you must know what’s permissible and what isn’t.
Most normal people know this principle, yet there’s always a minority of literary youths who feel that conventional plot writing can’t express the deep artistic pursuit in their hearts, so they have to intensify things to highlight their uniqueness.
In reality, there’s not so much uniqueness. When others are cooking a al, and you’re cooking sothing else that’s inedible, that’s not innovation.
Then there’s that book “Mystic Lord’s Secret Record of Feasting on Wind and Drinking Dew,” whose author hasn’t been found yet, leaving no choice but to intensify interrogation and extract clues from Mu Lianqiu.
This book is very dangerous; ordinary people may not notice anything unusual about it, but in the eyes of a serious cultivator, it’s purely an evil technique.
It’s not about needing to self-mutilate or go out and kill soone for a blood sacrifice; it’s more complex than that.
This book describes in detail a self-proclaid immortal “Mystic Lord’s” interpretation of the world.
It’s extrely twisted and indescribable.
If you have to describe it specifically, it’s akin to distorting serious history into, “Why did XXX keep their XX dark history? Because everyone knows they originated from hook-selling…”
It’s roughly that kind of stuff.
Commonly known as conspiracy theories.
And they’re conspiracy theories with severe information pollution.
Reading too much can drive you insane.
Speaking of pollution, one must ntion another case, the one Wang Yunxiao specifically instructed Youtiao to pursue.
Starting from January 7th, the First People’s Hospital received nurous cases of infant convulsions.
In the Nantong District, due to the severe damage New Asia Hospital suffered before the New Year, it hadn’t resud operations, so it received the news a few days late.
Simply put, children, who had been sound asleep, suddenly woke up screaming, saying monsters were chasing them in their dreams.
So kids even claid to have seen their deceased grandparents.
Over the past week, such cases have accumulated to over a thousand, and the nightmares seem to be spreading to the elderly and won.
If it were just nightmares, so dicine would do, or maybe no dicine at all.
Professional doctors would surely advise no dication and just plenty of rest.
But in this day and age, ordinary people are generally quite superstitious. When doctors don’t prescribe dicine, they imdiately turn to shamans.
However, shamans vary greatly in quality.
So genuinely learned a little sothing, so are rely after money, and so are… just pure lunatics.
The case Chen Yuguang received this morning involved a family whose child was too scared to sleep, constantly crying. Seeing that doctors were of no help, they called in a shaman to exorcise evil and avert disaster.
Unexpectedly, the shaman they brought in was quite a character, instantly claiming the child ended up in the wrong reincarnation and that the Underworld had co to take him back. They mustn’t interfere, or it would bring calamity to the family.
Then… this family was also quite a character, believing whatever they were told, afraid of offending ghosts and gods, and ended up knocking their own child out with a rolling pin, waiting for the Underworld’s Ghost Envoy to take him.
Finally, it was the neighbors who couldn’t stand it and reported to the police.
Now that shaman has also been brought back to the station. Her testimony is as if she’s going through torture; it’s not only incoherent but also lacks structure, oscillating between lucid and confused.
But it must be said she did ntion sothing valuable.
Among her ramblings, there were so special terms that caught Wang Yunxiao’s attention.
Amber Coffin
Red Shroud
Cangqing Nether Jade
Consul Hong misunderstood the seal’s intent, releasing the three demonesses suppressed by Master Zhang Celestial…
That’s from listening to the Water Margin Tale.
The general public’s comprehension is limited; they always prefer understanding unfamiliar things in a way they can grasp.
Matches are just called self-igniting flas.
Gas lamps are just called Wind Lamps.
All in all, according to this crazed old woman’s comprehension, these three demonesses ca to Tiann, took over the Yin Departnt City God Temple, seized the City God’s Great Seal, and planned to consu incense offerings to cultivate to beco a god.
Incense offerings are incense offerings, but occasionally, they couldn’t help but feast on boys and girls as snacks.
In a way, this old woman did have so insight, but she couldn’t see the whole picture and could only make disjointed interpretations based on her limited understanding.
In reality, it’s the “Echo” left by Li Mumu and the others.
