I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 558: Encountering the Major Case Squad

"Here's the news: Matsui Shrine, located in the suburbs of Nagoya, reported a sudden gas explosion accident last night at dawn, resulting in multiple deaths."

"It is known that at midnight yesterday, it was the Matsui Group's annual family gathering, and several important figures of the Matsui Clan were at the shrine."

"According to Nagoya First Hospital, several injured individuals were admitted to the hospital at dawn yesterday, but detailed conditions cannot be disclosed."

"We interviewed the police at the scene, and according to an officer who wished to remain anonymous, the gas explosion and building collapse, along with the shrine's wooden construction, led to a fire. Most of the Matsui Clan died on the spot, a few were seriously injured and have not yet escaped danger, while some with lighter injuries were the shrine's Divine Officials and staff."

"It is reported that Matsui Group's chairman Matsui Satoshi and board members Matsui Oishi and Matsui Iwao, three key figures in the Matsui Clan, died instantly."

"Matsui Group's stock price plunged this morning, dropping seventeen percent by noon."

"Matsui Group's representatives from North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East have rushed back to Japan overnight to handle this major event impacting the Matsui Clan's future development."

"It is reported that three days later, the Matsui Clan will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony at Matsui Building, simultaneously voting for a new chairman for the Group."

...

Japan has not experienced such an almost extinction-level event for quite some time, especially involving a prestigious family from the Nagoya region; the Matsui Clan, well-known in Japan.

This news was also brought back domestically, and naturally, some enthusiasts shared the history of the Matsui Clan with everyone.

Thus...

The simple cheers gathered into overwhelming waves, though they were inevitably mixed with some reflective critics and false saints, among them a few guides.

But...

Lin Wan sneered, "If those people from the Matsui Clan knew their entire family was wiped out because of the mess these people created, I wonder if they would climb out of Hell to drag them down too?"

Lin Wan was actually very opposed to such family annihilation events, always hesitating before, dealing with enemies who plotted against her and shareholders of overseas Japanese schools, by eliminating the chief culprits only and not involving their families.

The problem was that some people constantly provoked domestically, disgusted the citizens, and then showed their vile faces at the Matsui family gathering, even someone as rule-abiding as Lin Wan couldn't hold back.

Lu Zheng also sneered, "These people disgust us, yet it unites most simple Hua Country citizens against them. Many things are double-edged swords; is it the East Wind overpowering the West Wind, or the West Wind overpowering the East Wind? Timing, geographical advantages, and human factors are indispensable."

Lin Wan nodded, "Ultimately, it's because our national strength has grown."

Lu Zheng also nodded, "Like when promoting Japan's ballpoint pen core steel, and whatever they bragged about, we destroyed that industry, until later, those small Japanese businesses didn't dare let anyone praise them."

Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh, because later, many Japanese companies cooperated with Hua Country on the condition of not reporting how advanced their products were.

The guides could brag brainlessly, but businessmen were not foolish; what if provoking Hua Country's national sentiment directly destroyed their own industry?

Moreover, with the exposure of data falsification and quality issues of Japanese products later on, now they can only brag about cooking rice Immortals and sushi Immortals.

...

The topic drifted away, Lin Wan and Lu Zheng had already returned to Hai City, dining at a roast duck restaurant. Lin Wan asked Lu Zheng while checking her phone, "Three days later, the remaining Matsui Clan will gather again, what should we do?"

Lu Zheng said indifferently, "Within a year, they'll all go to Hell to repay their debts."

He paused and asked Lin Wan, "Are you going?"

"I'm not..." Lin Wan blinked and suddenly stopped, recalling how she didn't accompany Lu Zheng to Los Angeles last time, and he ended up staging a Hollywood blockbuster there.

"You're not going to cause some big stir this time, are you?"

Lu Zheng promptly proclaimed innocence, "How could that be? I've always been low-key and reserved; how could I cause any big stir?"

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng, this time she'd just go to Matsui Building, leaving behind a hidden trick for the remaining people. Lin Wan had to work that day, so she decided not to go.

"I'll go to work, we'll stay in touch by phone."

"Alright, I'll come back for dinner with you after I've dealt with things."

Lin Wan nodded and then laughed, "I was ready to spend three days, but with them all gathering together, it saved us a lot of trouble."

Lu Zheng nodded in agreement and then said, "By the way, now that you've mastered the Taiyuan Mysterious Scripture, shall I teach you some practical techniques?"

Speaking of which, after obtaining the Taiyuan Mysterious Scripture, Lin Wan diligently cultivated for half a year, finally expanding her meridians with the help of the Jade Essence Pill, developing True Qi, though previously it was thin and just continued cultivation, now Lu Zheng seeing her having about ten years of Dao Practice, she could cultivate some simple spells.

"Oh? Great, I'd love that!" Lin Wan's eyes shone brightly and she nodded repeatedly.

The Taiyuan Mysterious Scripture naturally included its spells, such as Primordial Profound Light and Primordial Divine Talisman, but the requirements were quite high, and Lin Wan had not yet met them.

So...

"The Five Curse Techniques are sufficient for you, I'll teach you tonight." Lu Zheng smiled.

...

Lin Wan was energized; while they were talking, they suddenly paused and then turned to see Lin Wan's former colleague Huang Xiumin and another young female officer entering, finding a spot in the hall to sit and order food.

Lu Zheng looked at Lin Wan, indicating if she wanted to invite them over.

Lin Wan shook her head and pointed to her own ear.

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, only then noticing the small earpieces in their ears.

"Are they on a mission?"

Lin Wan nodded, glanced around, but didn't spot their target.

"Haven't they arrived yet?"

"Maybe?" Lin Wan said, "We'll pretend not to know them."

"Alright."

Just as Lu Zheng spoke, Huang Xiumin glanced their way and was clearly startled.

Lu Zheng smiled, Lin Wan pointed to her ear, nodded smilingly.

Then, both parties tacitly averted their gaze, ignoring each other.

Lin Wan sat beside Lu Zheng, very naturally tore a piece of steamed pancake, added slices of duck skin and cucumber, dipped green onion in sweet sauce, then rolled up the pancake and handed it to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng didn't look at Huang Xiumin either, stealthily curious and occasionally glanced at the door, then asked, "Having undercover cops trailing, what kind of major case is this?"

Lin Wan thought for a bit, then saw the duo of Liang Yuandong and Liu Leng walking in from the entrance, her eyes flashed, "It might not be surveillance, perhaps they're ready for action."

Lu Zheng blinked, finished the last pancake in a few bites, then drank some duck soup, "Alright, done eating."

"Let's leave, don't disturb Xiumin's operation." Lin Wan picked up her purse.

Paid, and left.

Ignoring Huang Xiumin's teeth-baring expression, Lin Wan and Lu Zheng discussed whether to go watch a movie or visit an amusement park while heading toward the door.

Right opposite, another unimpressive middle-aged man entered the door, scanning around, then almost accidentally bumped into Lin Wan.

But Lin Wan sidestepped, avoiding the collision.

"Sorry, sorry!" The middle-aged man quickly apologized, then bypassed them, heading further into the shop.

Lu Zheng and Lin Wan exchanged glances, then couldn't help but laugh because though Lin Wan dodged the bump, the man had successfully slipped a USB stick into Lin Wan's purse.
