Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1136 574: Bloodshed in the Black Market (Part 5)

Before long, Li Qi and Shen Jingye entered the room together.

Goncharova said to the two of them: "I have important information to tell you, the one who murdered in the Cultural Palace is Du Wenming."

Li Qi shook his head and laughed, "That's too absurd."

"Not at all absurd!" Goncharova shouted, "He's from Snowflake Beach, he's a member of the Ferry Gang, and also a member of the Birch Tree Secret Cult. We worked for him, and he wants to kill us to silence us!"

Li Qi sighed, "How could I possibly believe such a thing?"

Shen Jingye was very interested, he pulled up a chair and sat down, "I believe you, don't rush, take your time and speak slowly."

Goncharova being able to state Du Wenming's name proved that Du Wenming didn't use a curse technique in the Secret Cultivation Conference.

Goncharova knew quite a bit, and tonight's haul was significant.

...

By dusk the next day, Du Wenming twisted his neck one hundred eighty degrees to carefully check his back.

The dye had completely disappeared.

Although there were still some scars, Du Wenming could reasonably explain these scars.

The storm had finally been weathered.

Du Wenming said to Yaoming, "In a while, I'll first take you to the laboratory, and then I'll return to the city. There might be some bumps during this period, but I'm still me, and I'll take back everything that belongs to me."

Yu Yaoming was a bit worried, "There's no food in the laboratory, at least the fish pond has fish."

Du Wenming smiled, "The fish pond isn't safe either; someone took my money, which means someone knows it's my place. I've brought some grilled fish with me, you take and eat it first. At the latest by tomorrow night, I'll send you food, a sumptuous meal,

Remember, don't go anywhere, I'm the only one in this world who can protect you. I can't get those crucial parts from your laboratory right now; you'll need to come up with an alternative experiment plan to minimize the need for critical equipment."

Yu Yaoming nodded, following Du Wenming to the factory.

When the factory closed and the workers had all left, Du Wenming arrived at the entrance of the Dark Dimension Space, pulling out a brass key.

He inserted the key into a familiar spot, turned it a few times, the lock seemed to unlock, but the entrance to the Dark Dimension Space did not open.

Someone seemed to have added an extra lock to the door.

Du Wenming tried a few times and still did not succeed, realizing that there was some danger here.

"Someone has come to our laboratory, this place isn't safe, we need to leave quickly." Du Wenming took Yu Yaoming and left the factory, temporarily settling Yu Yaoming in a basement in the urban village.

He returned to the city, heading directly towards his office building, now intending to report back from leave in the role of Director Du. As for his whereabouts in the past few days, as long as he could come up with a suitable excuse, the superiors wouldn't pursue too much.

The Dark Star Bureau had closed, Shen Jingye wanted to gather the security team members who participated in last night's action for a meal, Chen Changrui said his wife was ill, Chuuni said he just took a harmonizing agent and needed to rest, Ming Xing said he found a new girlfriend and promised to watch a movie, Light Bulb said he liked Ming Xing's girlfriend and planned to watch the movie together.

Dumpling and Preserved Fruit stated that the female comrades were not suitable for such occasions.

Previously, when Li Qi invited everyone for a meal, many of them attended, clearly not giving face to Director Shen!

Shen Jingye suppressed his anger, ordered a few takeouts, and went to drink with Li Qi.

In the parking lot, Light Bulb teased Ming Xing, "What does your girlfriend look like, introduce her to me."

Ming Xing spat at Light Bulb, "When my son is one month old, I'll let him recognize you as his godbrother!"

Joking and laughing, Ming Xing got into the car, floored the accelerator all the way, ran through two red lights, and drove back home.

At home, Ming Xing hurried into the bedroom and pulled out a telegraph machine.

Di-di-da-da...

Ming Xing skillfully crafted a telegram.

Walking on the street, Du Wenming stopped in his tracks, his wristwatch transmitting a rhythmic vibration.

"You've been wanted, Huashu betrayed you."

Du Wenming looked into the distance, his office building was less than two kilometers away.

His office, his schedule, his exclusive car, and driver were all in that building, less than two kilometers from him.

Du Wenming silently turned around, leaving the city, heading towards the urban village.

...

In the basement, Yu Yaoming sat beside the long conference table, his body trembling intermittently.

He could hear footsteps, footsteps coming from the stairs.

Those footsteps didn't belong to Du Wenming; they were slightly heavier than his.

Someone entered the basement, yet Yu Yaoming did not know his identity.

"Don't be afraid, I have the power of wisdom!" Yu Yaoming rubbed his face, once in the past, he would not have been afraid, but ever since being effortlessly subdued by Li Qi, he had developed considerable doubts regarding the power of wisdom.

"Don't be afraid, I have the power, the power of wisdom!" Yu Yaoming kept suggesting to himself, he stood up from his chair, readying himself for battle.

"You really don't need to be afraid, the power coming from wisdom is always trustworthy." A gaunt man appeared in front of Yu Yaoming.

Yu Yaoming strove to maintain his composure and asked, "Who are you?"

The man replied with a gentle smile, "I'm a bookseller, books are the source of wisdom."

PS: Boss Lu, does the Lu Family Bookstore exist in the Outside Provinces too?
