Chapter 1312: Emerging from the Water
neural implant, allowing Ian to monitor her vitals at any time.After spending half a day getting everything ready, Ripples went to see her grandfather and grandmother."Grandfather, Grandmother, thank...After a series of loud cracks, the cement on top of the stone pier finally stopped crumbling. As the dust settled, everyone turned their attention to that section of the bridge, eager to see the frail woman who had accomplished such a feat.
The ripples stood very steadily, and she even pulled Yu Liang, who had rushed over to save her, to safety. After the dust settled, she turned her head and pointed upwards. Yu Liang followed her finger and saw a white bone embedded in the bridge pier, taking a sharp breath of cold air.
"The rest is up to you guys. I've sent Sun Yi's soul on its way, so don't worry about Wen Huiqiao getting into another accident. But if he wasn't lying, this bridge won't last much longer. You should check with the quality inspection department!"
Liàn Yī patted Yu Liàng on the shoulder, feeling that he wasn't having an easy time either.
Yu Liang watched as only one pier of the bridge had cracked, and he let out a sigh of relief. He thought for a moment that the entire bridge would collapse before his eyes. After being jolted back to consciousness by the ripples, he nodded silently, wiped his face, called someone over to help, and then took out his phone to contact the relevant departments.
Liàn Yī left the scene smoothly, walking towards the direction of the whirlwind, and then saw Liáng Yǒng being suppressed by the whirlwind.
Seeing the ripples, Liang Yong's eyes flickered slightly before he loudly declared:
What do you want to do
"That's a question I should be asking you, shouldn't it Aren't you the one who's been hanging around my place"
Ripple looked down at the other person with a slight smile and asked.
"I ... no!"
"Psst, lying isn't good for children!"
The ripples put a finger to her lips, whispering softly. The next second Liang Yong's eyes started spinning, and he lost consciousness.
The whirlwind hopped down from the opponent's chest, disdainfully scraping its claws on the ground before transmitting a voice:
"Master, he has a heavy presence of evil spirits. Should we cleanse him"
He's a ghost handler. It's strange that he doesn't have much ghostly energy about him. Once I learn the information I want, I'll erase his memories and let him wander the city. Maybe that will lure out his fellow disciples.
The ripples in her eyes flickered on and off, instantly extracting all of Liang Yong's information. The first thing this fellow did after descending the mountain was to go find her. The reason was very simple: his master told him that Lian Ripples had yin-yang eyes, which could be helpful for his cultivation, allowing him to use Lian Ripples appropriately.
"As expected of master and disciple, both of you are equally shameless. You both play the game of using someone and then discarding them like a discarded abacus. But that depends on whether this young lady agrees."
Ripples let out a cold snort, raised her hand to cover Liang Yong's head, erasing part of his memories, then raised her hand to strike his dantian, crippling his cultivation. Finally, she stomped on Liang Yong's kneecap, crushing the bone.
"Ugh!" Liang Yong, falling into the illusory realm, involuntarily twitched twice, then fainted completely, drenched in sweat.
"Let's go, tonight's mission is complete. We'll wait for the right time and then venture into the Ghost Gate."
Ripple greeted the whirlwind and went home. She didn't need to get involved in what came next.
When Wen Yu-lin returned to the small villa after visiting her elders, it had been five days. The case of Wen Huiqiao's white bones had already been settled. The deceased, Sun Yi, was not a runaway with stolen funds, but had been murdered.
Also uncovered was Hui Guang Company, the construction contractor of Wenhui Bridge, which was under investigation for issues with the quality of its work. The construction company used inferior materials, resulting in a lower seismic rating for the bridge. Furthermore, there were allegations of bribery and corruption involved. In essence, this case unearthed a series of problems, linked to a long-forgotten missing person case.
Because the news has been reporting on this constantly, you can hear people discussing and lamenting it everywhere. They say that good people don't get rewarded and that those who stick to their principles end up being killed and even after death, they are not at peace. They are also falsely accused of absconding with funds. It's chilling to think about.
"Oh! The world is so chaotic, how can there be people who are so devoid of conscience They should be sentenced to death!"
Qi Da Jie also indignantly muttered.
Ripples and Wen Yulian glanced at each other, tacitly agreeing to avoid the topic.
During this period, Lian Yi received a call from Yu Liang, saying that they had caught a big fish this time. The other party was preparing to flee abroad with the money after the incident, but fortunately, they reacted quickly and had already controlled the person.
At that time, the person in charge of the project from HuiGuang Company and the tendering party for the WenHui Bridge project were both involved. Although it has been a long time, the relevant procedural materials are retained and need to be sorted out a bit. He will definitely give Sun Yi a fair account.
Ripple said after hearing this that she was only responsible for the paranormal part, and the rest was their job, she wouldn't interfere.
And when Liang Yong woke up, he was in the hospital. His leg was broken, and he had amnesia. He had no identification on him, and in the end, he was sent to a shelter. After training, the government, taking a responsible attitude, found him a job screwing nuts at a factory so he could support himself.
All of this information came from Xiao Li to Fenghuang. Lianyi just smiled after hearing it. Compared to the tragic end of her previous life where she was thoroughly used and killed, she had already shown mercy by not directly killing him. She was also afraid that if she did, it would create too many variables. Liang Yong had the Ghostly Control Sect backing him.
This celestial rain is staying indoors, and when ripples come back from shopping, she'll smile and extend an invitation:
"Ripples, I'm going to Kunshan for a trip. Are you interested in coming along"
"I've never been to Kunshan, I'm very interested. Let's take a road trip there, that way it will be more enjoyable. I'll go get my driver's license first."
Ripple accepted the invitation and then started to calculate.
Wen Yu Lian's eyes twitched. She had never heard of anyone going out to play and taking a driving test.
After making their plans, they set off five days later. Lianyi gave Qi Big Sister paid leave and then they started their Kunshan trip in a rented Mustang.
Before leaving, she contacted Yue Liang and reported her itinerary to him, letting him know how to reach her if anything came up. Then, she took Xinfeng away.
Yu Liang stared at the ringing phone with a blind tone, somewhat helpless. Fortunately, he didn't need this person's help recently. He couldn't restrict anyone's freedom either. The fact that the other party called him was already face-saving.
Along the way, Lian Ri spent time with Wen Yu-Lin, eating, playing, and dealing with some evil spirits. They earned labor fees from their work and after a month's journey, they finally reached the foot of Kunshan.
"From here on, there's no road. We have to walk, are you alright with that"
Wen Yu Lian changed into a set of black tight-fitting workout clothes, carrying a black backpack, wearing black athletic shoes, and holding a matching color trekking pole, she asked.
Of course, no problem.
Ling's ripples wore a purple tracksuit, the same color backpack and trekking pole, Xuan Feng crouched beside her feet, apparently wanting to climb by herself.
Actually, Cyclone felt it wasn't necessary. He wanted to carry his master directly to the summit, but Ripple refused.
Although our strength doesn't allow us to be humble, we should still maintain the necessary respect. Kunshan has big shots after all.
Ripple touched Cyclone's head and explained.
"Alright! I'll do as you say. Since we have such powerful figures, how could they be unaware that the Ghost Gate is blocked I haven't seen them arrange for their disciples to come up with a solution!"or a woman who is an officer with a salary and can help your son”Now both of them were silent. They couldn't go against their conscience and say they would marry a girl from the same village."If he al...
