I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 835: Discordant Scene

The affair of the artifact thief caused quite a stir for a few days, but then it gradually lost its heat amid new trending events.

Only those deeply involved were persistently tracking the whereabouts and true identity of the artifact thief.

For instance, many underground world collectors in Europe and America, mercenaries, agents, gangs, various informants, and even assassins who were like hyenas for 500 million euros, soldiers from the Military Intelligence Five, Military Intelligence Bureau, and CIA, who were all ridiculed.

Many professions that ordinary people in peaceful countries have never heard of, or even thought only existed in novels, actually exist in reality and are in full action.

Not to mention, whenever Lu Zheng heard the aimless updates from Lin Wan, it made his day much better.

"I heard the CIA commander responsible for this incident at the underground auction in the Lighthouse Country has resigned due to the incident," Lin Wan said. "However, because of past ties, he is now, like a mad dog, chasing the artifact thief around the world with the subordinates who got implicated alongside him."

Lu Zheng said in surprise, "You have his news?"

"Heard from colleagues in the Lighthouse Country who mentioned it as a joke," Lin Wan shook her head and said, "There is no unified thought within Interpol right now. By the way, police from the Great Yin Country and Gaul are tirelessly searching the Interpol message database for clues about the artifact thief."

"What about the CIA?" Lu Zheng asked, raising an eyebrow.

Lin Wan shrugged, "Apart from information from a few countries, their database might be even more complete than Interpol's."

Lu Zheng was speechless, "Well, no wonder it's been the world leader in intelligence for decades."

Lin Wan nodded, narrowing her eyes, a hint of a smirk on her lips, "And they are becoming increasingly unable to recognize themselves."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Lin Wan took a piece of sea cucumber from the little jar, swallowed it, and then said, "Although most people have focused their suspicions on the Pharaoh Country, the CIA still remembers the Eden Sect issue, let alone acknowledge that this time it's primarily a trap that involves a big shot from the Elephant Faction.

Therefore, they contacted Interpol over here in Hua Country, hoping to cooperate with the museum and relevant departments, so as to retrieve surveillance footage for an in-depth investigation.

After all, our Hua Country's Sky Eye system is very famous, and other Western countries often accuse us of violating human rights and monitoring people with it. They certainly also know that under this system, the cost of committing crimes increases, and many events and individuals can no longer hide.

If we are to trace the artifact thief, to be honest, our country has the best hope."

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded, "Are they really that shameless?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lin Wan rolled her eyes, "Didn't you know that until today?"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask, "So, is this what you've been busy with these days?"

"How could that be?" Lin Wan shook her head, "We are helping the discipline inspection commission to contact the Lighthouse Country, hoping that they will assist in repatriating the criminals who escaped there."

Lu Zheng, "..."

"So it's like talking chicken to a duck? Why would they agree?"

"Exactly..."

Lin Wan shrugged, "Since they aren't even willing to give such a small help, how could we possibly exert effort to help them?"

"Will they just let it go?"

"That I don't know, after all, it's not like it involves the nation's destiny," Lin Wan shook her head and couldn't help but smile, "But I guess if the CIA can't get the materials from us, the commander who resigned might personally come over out of desperation."

"Personally coming over to steal the surveillance?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh, finding the mental image very off.

Just think about it, the CIA is usually featured in high-profile Hollywood blockbusters full of advanced technology, while the domestic street surveillance feels very down-to-earth.

This combination forms the image of International Thief Mike coming to Mountain City to steal jade from a small factory.

Lu Zheng nodded, chuckled, "Let him come then, hopefully, he won't be spotted by the Chaoyang Masses and sent to the police station."

Lin Wan, "..."

...

Currently, there's not much going on here, and time quickly passed to ten days later.

Zhao Wenrong and Lin Yushu are about to get married.

"Are you ready?"

Lu Zheng asked Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, who were changing clothes in the room, "Don't dress too beautifully, or you might outshine the bride—wouldn't that be a scene!"

Du Yueyao couldn't help but laugh, "I have seen that Miss Lin, although she is also described as pretty and elegant, she is still a mere mortal, how could she compare to the two of you sisters?"

"Indeed, as Yueyao said, we can't deliberately make ourselves look ugly!"

As the words fell, Shen Ying pulled Liu Qingyan as they walked out of the room.

Shen Ying was still wearing a pink dress, but this time with a lighter shade embroidered with spring peach blossoms, her makeup was subtle, exuding an elegant aura.

Liu Qingyan wore a light green lotus-and-lily satin dress, her hair simply tied up, with just one ebony hairpin binding her black hair, yet she appeared elegant and alluring.

"What do you think, Lu Lang?" Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Zheng expectantly.

Lu Zheng raised his thumb, "Great!"

Liu Qingyan smiled at his words, her jade-like face turned rosy, and her eyes curved like crescent moons, feeling content.

"Old Huang has already prepared the car," Lu Zheng chuckled, "After we arrive at Yizhou Prefecture today, we'll first visit Uncle Du's house for a night, and tomorrow we'll attend Zhao Wenrong's wedding."

Now that Du Yueyao has succeeded in her cultivation, having received the Su Girl's Dream Transmission Method, becoming the Saintess of the Primordial Saint Sect, she is Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan's little sister, so the two families have become much closer, and address each other more intimately.

And this trip was already discussed by everyone in advance, as Du Yueyao should also return home, so they might as well go together, with Lu Zheng and the others visiting Du Yuru and his wife.

Du Yueyao is visiting her family, while Lu Zheng and the others will attend the wedding at the Zhao Mansion the next day, although Du Yueyao isn't going, she will still bring a gift.

...

The four board the carriage, Yue Honghai sat outside, and Old Huang gave a flick of the whip, and the carriage clattered away from Tonglin County, heading towards Yizhou Prefecture.

Lu Zheng casually opened the curtain of the carriage window, and the fragrance of the trees outside the city came in with the warm wind, along with the noise from the official road.

"It's quite lively."

This is also why Lu Zheng wasn't fond of flying everywhere—it's just dull.

"By the way, " Du Yueyao took out a wooden box from a bracelet and opened it to reveal a pair of Exquisite Jade Mandarin Ducks.

Du Yueyao pushed the wooden box toward Lu Zheng, "This is my wedding gift for Young Master Zhao and Miss Lin, Brother Lu, please hand it to them for me."

Du Yueyao, being the only daughter of Yizhou Prefecture's Prefect Du Yuru, with her special status, found it inappropriate to attend and congratulate them in person.

But since they've known each other since the flood back then, it's still necessary to express her congratulations.

"Alright!" Lu Zheng nodded and tucked the wooden box into the gourd.
