289: Chapter 288: Origins 289: Chapter 288: Origins As soon as she swallowed the drug, Liu Hun urged the Silver Dragon to enter the woman’s body and then said to her, “See that? That is the aura of your superpower!” “I... I see it! It’s expanding! It’s getting bigger! It’s getting stronger! I told you this place is heaven! I won’t die! I... How could it be? How could it be shrinking! How could it be collapsing! Impossible! Impossible... wuwuwu...” The woman’s speech turned into sobbing as a deep fear gripped her heart like a venomous snake. What exactly did Liu Hun make her see? How powerful was this man? Qin Yishan was very curious, too curious, although now both of their identities had been revealed, some things were simply not convenient to say, let alone answerable just by asking. “Actually, you’ve always understood, you’ve just been choosing to run away!” Liu Hun bluntly said to the emaciated woman. After sobbing for a bit, the woman suddenly realized something, then abruptly grabbed Liu Hun like clutching at a lifeline and said, “You are strong! You are the strongest superpower user I’ve ever seen, you must be able to save me! You must be able to, right! Please save me! I beg of you!” As she spoke, she knelt down before Liu Hun, limp as if made of dough. “I have no problem saving you, and helping you quit the drug is not a problem either. However, I need your cooperation,” Liu Hun said frankly to the woman, and this time the turnaround hinged entirely on her. “I’ll listen to anything you say! I’ll listen to it all!” The woman clung tightly to Liu Hun’s legs, deciding finally to wake from her daze and thoroughly be a person again! At the Yuhua City Police Department, the new director, He Jiahui, was waiting by the telephone for instructions. Days had passed without any news; he inquired at the Public Security Department but to no avail, and he was almost bored to the point of picking his toes. “Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!” “What nonsense... phone!” He Jiahui hurriedly put his foot down and picked up the handset, his voice almost bursting with emotion as he hurriedly nodded and replied “Yes, yes, yes” to the voice of Qin Yishan on the other end. After hanging up the phone, He Jiahui was immediately imbued with the director’s aura, slamming his hand on the table, and shouted, “All hands on deck! Mobilize all police, head straight for Halo Bar! Quick!” “Yes!” An office full of officers sprang into action with high morale, energized after being lax just a second before. He Jiahui, deifying Qin Yishan, immediately mobilized all the police forces and made a beeline for the Halo Bar. An hour later, Li Tianyang, humming a tune in the County Committee office, suddenly received a phone call. Before he could even finish listening, his face turned white and he quickly set down the handset, grabbed his briefcase, and ran out the door, only to freeze in place upon opening it. “Secretary Li, it’s been a long time, are you happy to see me? Smile! Such a stiff expression! Not happy to see me? Well, these gentlemen from the Discipline Inspection Committee must be a delightful sight, genuine comrades from the Discipline Inspection Committee, not some shoddy imposters you brought in! Now go on, off you go!” Liu Hun said with a smile, patting Li Tianyang’s shoulder and watching as the County Party Secretary was taken on a path of no return. Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the Yuhua Municipal Committee building, the routine standing committee meeting was underway. Suddenly! “Bang!” The meeting room door flung open, and all the standing committee members turned to look. The two men leading the group, dressed in plain suits and expressionless faces, clipped their identification to their chests and stated with a firm, icy tone, “Discipline Inspection Committee work group!” All the officials in the room shuddered with fear at the words, flashing back to their misdeeds, wishing they could crawl back into their mothers’ wombs to start anew, and some even cast a desperate glance at the half-open window, wondering if it could save their offspring. “Where is Yang Qing?!” One Discipline Inspection Committee staff scanned the crowd with a cold gaze. “...I...” Yang Qing stuttered several times before finally squeaking out the word “I.” “Come with us!” After the two staff finished speaking, the officers they brought with them immediately stepped forward and took the thoroughly paralyzed Yang Qing out of the room. When the door closed again, the shirts of all the officials in the meeting room were already soaked with sweat. This operation was a great success, with Qin Yishan taking down a drug production den that had been under surveillance for months, and Li Tianyang and Yang Qing taken away for investigation by the Discipline Inspection Committee. Xiao Yanzi was temporarily assigned as the County Party Secretary of Anchang County, effectively clearing all the obstacles Liu Hun faced in Anchang County. On the ride back to Wanbao Village, Qin Yishan couldn’t help but start to speak to Liu Hun, “Mr. Liu, you... ” Qin Yishan didn’t finish her sentence, and she didn’t know how to start, but Liu Hun knew exactly what she meant. Qin Yishan simply wanted to inquire about his background, but clearly, he had no intention of revealing his hand, so he said with a smile to Qin Yishan, “Director Qin, I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you. However, you’ll also have to answer my question.” Hearing the first part of the sentence, Qin Yishan’s heart initially filled with joy, but upon hearing the latter half, that fleeting joy immediately dissipated. She shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Liu, there are some things that can’t be discussed right now.” “Then I have nothing to tell you either,” Liu Hun said frankly to Qin Yishan. He and Qin Yishan knew each other thoroughly, but both had their concerns. It was like playing the card game Fight the Landlord with their cards laid out on the table; even though they knew each other’s strengths and weaknesses, the game still had to be played by the rules. As for Bai Lingfei, they were still testing each other out, truly playing their cards close to the chest. “You!” Qin Yishan clenched her teeth, calmed her emotions, and continued, “You’re taking away Lu Yu, such a crucial person. Can’t that be exchanged for something?” Liu Hun glanced at the emaciated woman sitting next to him. She too was listening to their conversation, filled with worry that Liu Hun might actually hand her over to Qin Yishan. She wanted to stick with Liu Hun, because she had found that this man had the ability to solve all her fears. “With all due respect, Director Qin, when you took me away from the Yuhua City Public Security Bureau, you already knew my background. And by using me, you solved a major case. We’re even now, right?” Liu Hun said to Qin Yishan with a slight smile. Regarding this, Qin Yishan also knew she was in the wrong. If it hadn’t been for Lu Yu revealing her identity as a Superpower User, she really wouldn’t have lost to Liu Hun on this point. With the conversation having reached this point, Qin Yishan had nothing more to say. She parked her car at the entrance to Wanbao Village, watched as Liu Hun took Lu Yu into the village, took out her own mobile phone, and scrolled through her contacts until she found Li Qianqing, to whom she sent a message: The den is busted, keep an eye on that person. As soon as she entered Wanbao Village, Lu Yu felt invigorated, taking a deep breath of the vibrant air, then said to Liu Hun, “Your Superpower must come from this land, right? There are four others on the mountain, but they are not on your level.” Liu Hun made a silencing gesture to Lu Yu, signaling her to keep quiet, then said with a smile, “Let’s go back and have a meal first. We can talk about these matters tonight.” Liu Hun took Lu Yu into the house, which genuinely startled Qin Yue and the others at first—it was truly a skeletal figure. Everyone was accustomed to Liu Hun bringing women home, but a woman as odd as this was a first. However, the women in the house, although curious, were very kind and welcomed Lu Yu warmly, an experience she’d never had before. After a sumptuous dinner, Liu Hun took Lu Yu to his room, wanting to learn many things from her. “Your women are very hospitable,” Lu Yu said with a smile to Liu Hun, her face so gaunt that the smile wasn’t quite attractive. “I didn’t expect you to have so many different kinds of women. They are all good people.” “You misunderstood. They’re not my women; it’s just... You’ll understand if you stay here long enough. Would you like to live here?” Liu Hun asked Lu Yu, as the matter of men and women is the most complex and difficult to explain in this world. Seeing that Lu Yu nodded, Liu Hun said further, “You can’t tell anyone here that I’m a Superpower User or about your identity.” Lu Yu nodded again. She opened the window and stared out at Wanbao Village in the twilight, becoming somewhat captivated, before asking after a while, “The Superpower you got from here?” “Yes!” Liu Hun didn’t avoid the question, believing that it’s best not to conceal anything when it comes to mutual trust. “What exactly is it that you got? Why can’t I see through it or suppress it?” Lu Yu asked Liu Hun curiously, her eyes fixed on him. “At first, I thought it was just a burst of Qi Force, but then, in another part of the village, I encountered another burst. Later, by a stroke of luck, I saw its true form,” Liu Hun said to Lu Yu slowly, the land had given him so much. “What is it?” Lu Yu’s eyes widened in curiosity. “Silver Dragon!” Liu Hun blurted out the four words. “It’s actually that!” Lu Yu’s mouth dropped open in an “O” of shock. Seeing Lu Yu’s expression, Liu Hun clearly didn’t take it as mere curiosity and immediately asked, “Have you encountered it?” Lu Yu’s expression softened, and she began to recount her own story of how she obtained her Superpower to Liu Hun. It turned out that Lu Yu’s Superpower also came from the Silver Dragon. Unfortunately, the Silver Dragon had only taken a tumble while digging for bamboo shoots on her mountain and, after falling and being seriously injured, stayed inside her body for three days before disappearing without a trace.
