Chapter 1123 - 1120: Tian Mang
Chu Tianhan said, "I'm not an immortal. I can only calculate that something is going to happen, but I don't yet know what it is. By the way, this place is a mess. Did something happen?"
Lin Chuan didn't hide from Chu Tianhan, and told him all about the monsters and giant bird. After listening, Chu Tianhan's expression changed slightly and he said, "Golden-topped Spirit Snake, Black Dragon of the Stars, and Giant Wings, how could these legendary monsters all appear in the human realm? Could it be that a great disaster is truly coming to humanity."
The Golden-topped Spirit Snake refers to that Little Snake, the Black Dragon of the Stars must be that monster, and Giant Wings naturally refers to the giant bird. When Lin Chuan heard Chu Tianhan mention the names of these monsters, he couldn't help asking, "Where did these monsters come from?"
Chu Tianhan pondered for a moment and said, "According to ancient records, Laozi, which is the ancestor Yuanshi Tianzun of our Taoist lineage, before attaining the Tao, came to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate and found rampant demons wreaking havoc on humanity. Thus, with his own strength, he sealed all these demons at Hangu Pass, thereby understanding the secret of heaven, transforming into the Three Pure Ones, and leaving a child servant to guard these demons. This child, with nothing else to do, thus wrote a book recording all these demons, and this book is the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'."
Lin Chuan was hearing this origin of the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' for the first time.
Chu Tianhan continued, "These demons are sealed at Hangu Pass and burst through the seal to descend upon the human realm every few hundred years. Once these demons descend upon humanity, the great disaster begins."
Could it be that what Li Huaishan referred to as the heavenly disaster is about this, Lin Chuan thought silently.
Seeing Lin Chuan silent, Chu Tianhan smiled and said, "But whenever a disaster descends upon humanity, a Tian Mang will appear to resolve this human calamity."
"Tian Mang???" Lin Chuan stared at Chu Tianhan in confusion.
Chu Tianhan nodded and said, "Correct, the Tian Mang descends to scatter the seeds and resolve the heavenly disaster."
"Then have you found this Tian Mang?" Lin Chuan asked.
Chu Tianhan's expression became serious, "Lin Chuan, you obtained the Heavenly Heart Skill seal and also got the Illusion Pearl, I'm afraid you are the Tian Mang."
Although Lin Chuan already vaguely guessed that Chu Tianhan would say this, he still couldn't help being stunned.
...
Yang Zi had been hiding in the Emperor Nightclub for a whole month. During this month, she stayed in a room every day, most of the time alone except for when Zheng Mei came to see her.
She was a bit fed up with this life; it was more unbearable than death.
The imbalance in her heart increasingly became twisted, and her hatred for Tang Yumeng was like a poisonous snake, continually devouring her inside.
As for Lin Chuan, there was no trace of resentment in her heart for him, rather, there was more longing.
Yang Zi had mentioned more than once in front of Zheng Hongmei about dealing with Tang Yumeng, but Zheng Hongmei did not agree with Yang Zi. Although Yang Zi saved her life, she was willing to make some sacrifices for Yang Zi, but after all, everyone has their personal interests.
It wasn't easy for Zheng Hongmei to come this far, she didn't want to go back to that life of hiding and running. Tang Yumeng's identity is special, once something happens to Tang Yumeng, no matter from what perspective, there will definitely be a thorough investigation. Getting herself involved would not only harm Yang Zi but also herself.
Yang Zi sat alone in the room, holding a glass of red wine in her hand. The television played a boring South Korean soap opera.
She drank the red wine from the glass in one gulp, and suddenly felt an impulse to go outside.
At that time, it was a little past seven in the evening, and the sky had already turned completely dark.
Yang Zi left the room, the hallway was empty, and she could hear the miscellaneous music and noise from downstairs.
Zheng Hongmei's office was not far from her room, and Yang Zi walked over and knocked on the door.
From inside the office, there came a rustling sound. After a few minutes, Zheng Hongmei opened the door.
Yang Zi saw the blush on Zheng Hongmei's face and curiously asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
Zheng Hongmei gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Nothing's wrong, why would there be anything wrong."
Yang Zi walked into the office, where there was another person—a very young, quite handsome man.
Yang Zi instantly understood what was going on, realizing that the two had been getting intimate in the office and got interrupted by her visit. Looking at Zheng Hongmei, she said with a touch of sly amusement, "Sister, I need to go out. Can I use your car?"
Zheng Hongmei paused and said, "Little sister, they're looking for you everywhere outside, you better not go out."
Yang Zi laughed, "Don't worry, sister, I'll just go for a short walk. One month in here is driving me crazy."
Zheng Hongmei thought it over and still handed her the car keys. Yang Zi took the keys, glanced at the man, and then said to Zheng Hongmei, "Sister, you can continue. I'm leaving."
With an awkward smile on her face, Zheng Hongmei watched Yang Zi exit the room and head towards the parking lot.
"Mei, who was that woman? She seemed really familiar," the man asked Zheng Hongmei right after Yang Zi left the office.
Zheng Hongmei glared at the man and said, "Do what you're supposed to do here, and don't look around unnecessarily."
The man was taken aback, then he embraced Zheng Hongmei and chuckled, "I understand, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't look at what you shouldn't look at. But I really want to see your body again."
Zheng Hongmei blushed and willingly offered her red lips.
Yang Zi arrived at the parking lot, found Zheng Hongmei's car, and drove onto the street. Having not seen the outside world for a month, she felt everything was so beautiful.
After drinking some alcohol, Yang Zi thought about the scene she just witnessed, and suddenly a desire arose within her. She wished Lin Chuan would suddenly appear and engage passionately with her in bed.
This desire grew stronger; the fire within her heart couldn't be contained anymore. She needed to vent.
Of course, Lin Chuan didn't appear. Yang Zi drove to a bar in the city center, stopped the car, didn't rush to get out, first observed the surroundings, and only stepped out after seeing nothing unusual.
This bar isn't really a traditional bar; it has a hidden world within.
This bar is specifically a place providing special services for wealthy women. To put it bluntly, it is actually a service club. To enter, one must be a member.
Before knowing Lin Chuan, Yang Zi was already a member here. Upon entering the bar, she crossed a corridor into a hall. In the center of the hall was a small stage, with a muscular man flaunting his muscles to the women surrounding him.
Strong music, dazzling colorful lights, and constant screams filled the hall with a thick sense of sensuality. A few shameless men and women were already embracing and kissing deeply.
Yang Zi went to a table, ordered a drink, took a sip, and turned her face to watch the man on stage.
At this moment, a well-built man walked over, sat beside Yang Zi, and smiled gentlemanly, "Are you alone, gorgeous?"
Yang Zi turned her head to glance at the man, who was quite decent-looking, and said flatly, "How much for one session?"
The man was indeed a service provider, surprised at Yang Zi's straightforwardness, he said, "That depends on how you want me to serve you."
Yang Zi took out a stack of money from her bag, about a thousand bucks, and dropped it in front of the man, saying, "I want it now."
The man slightly frowned but smiled, "Alright, let's head to a hotel then."
Yang Zi shook her head, grabbed the man, and headed toward the restroom.
Once in the restroom, luckily there was no one else, Yang Zi locked the door, and the man pressed himself against her.
"Get your mouth off me." As the man tried to kiss her lips, Yang Zi coldly said with disgust. Meanwhile, she leaned against the wall, spread her legs, and proactively removed her panties.
The man awkwardly smiled and also removed his trousers. Just as he was about to enter Yang Zi, her intense desire suddenly vanished.
The man before her suddenly appeared ugly and crude outside, compared to Lin Chuan he's trash.
Yang Zi forcefully pushed the man away, feeling an urge to vomit, she coldly said, "Get out, just get out."
The man was stunned, his expression turning angry, but he still pulled up his trousers and walked out of the restroom.
Yang Zi put back her panties, feeling utterly wronged, she crouched down, holding her head, and cried uncontrollable tears.
After crying for over ten minutes, Yang Zi quietly stood up, washed her face at the basin, touched up her makeup, and left the bar.
Though Jiangbei City isn't considered a big metropolis, compared to third or fourth-tier small cities, it's certainly much more prosperous.
Yang Zi stood at the bar entrance for a while, then turned to get back in her car. As soon as she got in, a person emerged from a corner of the bar, stared at the departing car, hailed a taxi, and jumped in.
Yang Zi drove around the city area for a while, then returned to the Emperor Nightclub. She didn't notice a taxi tightly following her all the way to the Emperor Nightclub.
Zhang Wenhui has been under a lot of pressure recently. There's been no news of Yang Zi, and Director Hu is urging persistently, making him quite restless.
After dinner post work, Zhang Wenhui left his home and stood by a roadside chess stand watching a game when his phone rang.
A stranger's voice came through the line, "Director Zhang, I've found Yang Zi, the chairman of Liu Group, who you're seeking."
Zhang Wenhui perked up immediately upon hearing this and asked, "Where is she?"
The stranger's voice said, "Director Zhang, it wasn't easy for me to find her, so I can't just tell you casually."
Zhang Wenhui understood and said, "You can rest assured, as long as the intelligence you provide is accurate, you'll be rewarded once we apprehend Yang Zi."
