Chapter 2281. Suffering a Loss is a Blessing System 4
Zhu Xingwang immediately realized that things were serious. He quickly took out his phone and asked if something big had happened at the police station. As it turned out, not only had the police station's prison been completely wiped out, but prisons all over the country had also been thoroughly cleaned up.
Zhu Xingwang glanced at Hu Si and, in a fit of desperation, said, "Hu Si, you'd better find a way to submit a report."
Hu Si shrugged: "Why should I? I'm just here to watch the fun."
Zhu Xingwang calmly replied, "It's your little horse that's handling the matter, so of course you should write the report."
Hu Si's face immediately darkened. This report was bound to be a disaster no matter who wrote it! Han Zifeng turned her head and whistled. Anyway, the job was done. As for the follow-up, there were so many people here. She didn't need to think about the problems.
It just goes to show that this is the machinery of the state; once something has happened, they're incredibly skilled at shifting blame. A major international incident was dragged out for a month, and then it was forgotten. The main theme was always the same: you blame me, I blame you.
Zi Feng had already finalized the selection process and happily called for the first system update. The first thing she did was to package these people together for an assessment. Zi Feng asked curiously, "Assessment?"
The first answer: "They were sold to me by the Heavenly Dao there. If they pass the test, they can become mission takers and work all over the place."
Zi Feng pursed her lips. Since that was the case, she didn't need to worry about the aftermath. Then, she said to the patriarchs of the five families and Zhu Xingwang, "The 35 who disappeared now may not be able to come back. They were sold out by the Heavenly Dao and sent to work for this world to make money."
Hu Si asked again, "Can they come back?"
Zi Feng nodded silently and said, "They will come back. They'll be like a dragon, appearing out of nowhere to scare people, disappearing for long periods of time. But there won't be much danger. As long as they don't do anything reckless, the chances of them dying are not high."
To be honest, the people from the five great immortal families were more open-minded. They just said "oh" and started looking for things to do. Zhu Xingwang, on the other hand, was a little anxious. After all, demon beasts could solve many things with their physical bodies, but they, as cultivators, really couldn't.
Soon, several people appeared. The demons reported to their ancestors, while the others reported to Zhu Xingwang. Surprisingly, several of them were eliminated. On the human side, only three people passed the test.
Zi Feng instantly looked disgusted and said to Zhu Xingwang, "That's it. I gave you all a chance, but you were all useless."
On the demon side, each family had two members, and the fox spirits had five, all of whom were recruited. The weasel and rat families were a little short, with only two members from each family. But with humans at the bottom, it was still not too bad. The main problem was that these two families were too vengeful and prone to causing trouble, which the demons couldn't handle.
As for Zi Feng, with the mission already assigned, she started to slack off. After all, there were many things she didn't need to worry about; these immortals would handle them for her. Besides, the mission requirements weren't high to begin with. If she couldn't even handle this, what kind of immortal would she be?
Clearly, the others thought the same way. Zi Feng, on the other hand, curiously took the black card given to her by her parents and returned to her ex-boyfriend's place to see what was going on at the Hong family's place.
As expected, when it comes to same-sex relationships, most people are more interested in watching the spectacle than in understanding them. Hong Yuanming and Yue Xing have been trending on social media for days now. Despite the backlash they suffered during their previous attack, Hong's parents and Hong Yuanming themselves were completely unharmed.
Yue Xing, on the other hand, was almost struck to death. There was nothing he could do. Although it was said that merits that were overdue would be cut off, the Hong family had helped many poor people over the years, even if it was just for show. They had donated a lot of real money, so although their merits were overdue, the amount was not much.
Hong Yuanming still had merit, and although Yue Xing's merit was diminished, he had only done some careless things, so his merit deficit wasn't too great. In this situation, it would be a matter of being struck by lightning. If he was struck, it would be bad luck, as it was his fate; if he wasn't struck, it would also be his fate, giving him a chance to repent and start anew.
So, the Hong family thus escaped a calamity in a spectacular fashion. However, even so, with her parents' suppression, the Hong family didn't fare much better. After all, the Hong family's status as the richest family was entirely due to the original owner's privileged destiny. The real strength of the Hong family members was simply not up to par.
Ever since Zi Feng severed the causal link that changed their destinies, the Hong family has consistently made a losing proposition with every purchase. Now, with Zi Feng still causing trouble, anything that could have been profitable has resulted in a loss for the Hong family. Even land sold voluntarily by the government has been squandered by the Hong family.
It's a complicated story. Before the sale, the government thoroughly inspected the property and found nothing there. They were only planning to buy it to build a subway and construct buildings nearby. But after the Hong family bought it, they unearthed a fragment of a person with one shovel and an ancient tomb with the second.
Those who were eager to sell the land were shocked. How come they hadn't found an ancient tomb? Now that a tomb had been discovered, an archaeological team was immediately assembled for the land, and the plans to build the building were indefinitely postponed.
They had already pre-sold a lot of off-plan properties, but now they can't even start construction because the buyers are suing them for fraud. They've lost another sum of money, and the main problem is, they can't recover their losses. Suing them might get their principal back, but shouldn't that be a process? The original intention of the pre-sales was to raise funds to ensure the company's cash flow wouldn't be disrupted.
This digging turned out to be incredibly awkward. On the day they started work, they had invited reporters to do a live broadcast, but they couldn't even press the shutter button. It was at this time that Zifeng returned, seeing the Hong family on the verge of bankruptcy, and they actually dragged Zifeng, their ex-girlfriend, into the fray.
Zi Feng couldn't stand it anymore and immediately called the police, reporting that she had been maliciously abducted. She also summoned Master Hu to file a report with the police. Although it was Hong Yuanming's grandparents who did it, it wouldn't stop them from delivering a fatal blow to the Hong family.
More importantly, while others couldn't figure out Yue Xing's background, Zi Feng could. He could capture a spirit and have it run a errand for Hong Yuanming, giving him a small note. Yue Xing's parents were also wealthy. The difference was that this unlucky kid, Yue Xing, genuinely got lost on his own. You could only say he deserved it. Why would you sleep in someone's car if no one was around? When he woke up, he couldn't find his way home, and that's how he got lost.
Now, facing the police, the Hong family can only rely on Yue Xing, this self-made rich second-generation. At least the Yue family won't call the police, right? Hong Yuanming brought Yue Xing to the Yue family in Hu City, but here, well, Yue Xing's status has long been replaced by a fake heiress. His family originally had more men, but after their younger brother went missing, they adopted a sister. Compared to the fake heiress, Yue Xing is a joke. Even more ridiculous is the awkward situation after the blood test.
