Fog City, Fuding Prefecture.
This was a very high-end residential area in Fog City. When it first opened, the price was 48,000 yuan per square meter. Those who could afford to buy a house here were either wealthy or noble.
Many celebrities lived in this community.
Long Wang had made arrangements early in the morning, and without any obstruction, he drove into the residential area. Under the guidance of the security guard, he arrived at unit 703 in building 8.
Standing at the door, Long Wang said to Lu Ming, "This is it. The person living inside is Ren Jiang's doctoral supervisor—He Haichao, who stole all of Ren Jiang's research results. The current He Haichao is already a renowned scholar in China, full of honors and with an extraordinary status. It usually takes a week's appointment for ordinary people to see him."
Lu Ming nodded.
It was somewhat tragic.
The truly learned and capable Ren Jiang was forced to work for Fan Xiaoyun, becoming an accomplice to evil.
And a scoundrel like He Haichao, who stole others' achievements, could become a famous scholar, lacking nothing in terms of fame, status, and wealth. What a profound irony.
He pressed the doorbell.
A moment later, the door opened. The housekeeper, seeing the two people at the door and not recognizing them, asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Long Wang didn't bother to reply, pushed the housekeeper aside, and walked in.
"Hey, what's going on? Do you know whose house this is? This is the home of the renowned medical expert He Haichao! If you dare to barge in, I'll call the police to arrest you!"
The housekeeper shouted hysterically and even pulled out her phone.
However, Long Wang disdained her, shaking his finger and saying, "We've already informed the police department in advance. Calling the police won't help."
Huh?
The housekeeper was stunned. Being able to inform the police department indicated that the person in front of her must have an extraordinary background. The housekeeper dared not speak rashly anymore.
Long Wang walked inside, looking around.
"A 260-square-meter flat, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, tsk tsk tsk, so comfortable."
As he was speaking, a man who looked nearly 60 years old came out and scolded, "Who are you? How dare you barge into my home? Get out quickly!"
Just as Long Wang was about to curse, Lu Ming stepped forward and said, "He Haichao, right? We need to talk about something."
Uh...
He Haichao scrutinized Lu Ming. Lu Ming was dressed very plainly, not like someone with status and position; however, Lu Ming's tone of speech suggested he possessed some authority.
He couldn't quite guess Lu Ming's true identity for a moment.
He asked tentatively, "Are you police?"
Lu Ming didn't waste words, directly took out the Dragon Warlord token and showed it to He Haichao, "Recognize this?"
Although He Haichao lacked real skill, his eyesight was excellent.
Especially when it came to items of power, he recognized it at a glance.
"Dragon Warlord token?! You... are you the peerless Dragon Warlord?" He Haichao was so scared he almost wet his pants. People of his status had no chance to meet the Dragon Warlord, let alone have the Warlord visit his home in person.
He Haichao swallowed, and cautiously asked, "Warlord, why are you here? Your presence graces my humble abode; I truly apologize for any lack of hospitality. I beg for your forgiveness."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "I've come to see you about something."
He Haichao was extremely flustered. Honestly, he had committed many wicked deeds in his life, and quite a few illegal and immoral acts. It was possible that one of them had angered the Dragon Warlord.
He was just about to kneel, kowtow, and apologize, but to his surprise, Lu Ming smiled and said, "He Haichao, your research is excellent. I have benefited greatly from your research recently. Therefore, I have come specifically to see you, to get acquainted, and incidentally, I plan to hold a commendation ceremony in two days to highlight your outstanding contributions."
What?
Not here to cause trouble, but to reward him?
He Haichao was overjoyed, wanting to dance. He was so happy his mouth couldn't close, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "I dare not, I dare not. All this is what I should do. It already makes me incredibly excited that the Warlord has come to see me personally. How could I dare to hope for a commendation ceremony?"
Lu Ming insisted, "Don't be so modest. I've already decided on the time and place for the commendation ceremony. Moreover, I must tell you, this commendation ceremony will be nationwide, and many news media will be present. Professor He, please prepare well. I will send someone to pick you up in two days."
He Haichao was ecstatic.
He was so excited he couldn't speak. Such a stroke of luck, a pie falling from the sky, had actually happened to him.
"Then I respectfully accept your offer. Thank you for the Warlord's grace, thank you!"
Lu Ming waved his hand, "No need to be polite. It's all what you deserve. Alright, I still have a lot to do, I'll be leaving now."
"Oh, Warlord, won't you stay for a simple meal?"
"I won't impose."
With that, Lu Ming turned and left, with Long Wang following closely behind and exiting the house.
He Haichao followed them all the way, seeing Lu Ming and Long Wang off from the residential area and into the car. He waved at the car as it drove away, showing great respect.
Only when the car disappeared from sight did He Haichao excitedly mutter to himself, "A nationwide commendation ceremony, Hahahaha, fantastic! With this, I, He Haichao, will be remembered for eternity, perhaps even included in primary and secondary school textbooks, becoming an excellent role model for China. I've made it, I've made it!"
On the other side.
The car drove slowly.
Long Wang asked with great confusion, "Is it necessary? Wasting so many resources on such a scoundrel?"
Lu Ming smiled faintly and said, "It is very necessary. The bigger the commotion, the more excited Ren Jiang will become. Minor troubles won't force Ren Jiang out."
Long Wang asked again, "Then... won't Fan Xiaoyun suspect something is wrong?"
Under normal circumstances, Fan Xiaoyun would surely notice something amiss and might even monitor Ren Jiang in advance to prevent any accidents.
However, these were not normal circumstances.
After all, Lu Ming had just killed Fan Xiaoyun's own brother, Fan Xiang. With such a deep enmity, how could Fan Xiaoyun remain calm enough to analyze the situation?
It was highly probable that Fan Xiaoyun had now allied with Su Ru and was preparing to launch a counterattack.
If they counterattacked, Lu Ming could secretly "raid their home" and trick Ren Jiang out, capturing him in one fell swoop!
Lu Ming said, "You arrange for more manpower, keep a close eye on Fan Xiaoyun and Su Ru. If they make any move, notify me immediately. If my calculations are correct, they will make a move within these few days."
Long Wang nodded, "The final battle is coming. This time, we will completely take down that venomous woman, Fan Xiaoyun!"
Accelerating, speeding away.
A storm of blood and chaos was imminent.
