Chapter 1133 - 1130: Tracking Technique
Lin Chuan said with a bitter smile: "This money was given to me by Song Ming. I originally wanted to use it for charity, but the province recently investigated and found that this money was embezzled by Song Ming over many years in office. It must be returned to the state."
Zhou Rui heard that the situation was quite serious and quickly picked up the phone to call the financial director. The financial director said the money Mu Bai was managing was not in the fund's account, and he did not know where it had gone.
Upon hearing that Mu Bai had not transferred the money to the fund's account, Lin Chuan was stunned. Mu Bai was already dead. Where did the money go? Could it be that Mu Bai had secretly embezzled it?
This was over one hundred million yuan, a very large sum. Lin Chuan felt unable to sit still.
Zhou Rui furrowed her brows into a twist and pondered before saying: "Lin Chuan, how about this, our group can advance the over one hundred million yuan for now and deal with the situation later."
Lin Chuan shook his head and said: "That's not feasible. I can't use Chuan University's money. Let me clarify the situation first."
Zhou Rui thought for a moment, then said: "Alright, if it really comes to that, we can use the group's funds first."
Lin Chuan acknowledged with a sound and asked: "How is the group's current operation situation?"
Zhou Rui said: "It's alright, everything is normal. Chuan University successfully went public, and the stock price has steadily increased. Now our group's stock price has doubled from the issue price. By the way, the group has currently acquired Liu Group, and Xiao Feng is the new head over there."
Lin Chuan said: "You handle these matters yourself, there's no need to inform me."
Zhou Rui threw a charming glance at Lin Chuan and said: "You really know how to be a hands-off chairman, leaving such a big mess for me without a word."
Lin Chuan laughed: "With you managing Chuan University, I'm completely at ease and naturally don't interfere."
Zhou Rui said: "Lin Chuan, I've got good news for you. Kaizi and Ma Yilin have formally confirmed their relationship and are expected to get married soon."
Lin Chuan laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Didn't you, the matchmaker, help them out? Make sure that kid thanks you properly."
Zhou Rui said: "I'm the matchmaker? They succeeded because of your lousy idea. It seems you really have a knack with girls. To be honest, how many girls have you hooked up with lately?"
Lin Chuan chuckled: "Not many, just seven or eight dozen."
Zhou Rui lightly bit her lips and said coquettishly: "You rascal, you're really a big rascal."
Lin Chuan laughed heartily, wrapped Zhou Rui in his arms, kissed her pretty face and said: "Of course I'm a rascal, otherwise how could Xiao Rui's skills shine?"
Zhou Rui, held in Lin Chuan's arms, did not struggle and voluntarily offered her red lips.
Having not seen Lin Chuan for several days, Zhou Rui naturally missed him greatly. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. They had already established an intimate relationship, so why hide their feelings?
This was at Zhou Rui's aunt's place, so they dared not be too wanton, exchanging tender kisses.
Staying at Zhou Rui's aunt's place for less than an hour, Lin Chuan, seeing it was about half-past nine in the evening, got up to say goodbye. Though Zhou Rui felt a bit reluctant, she did not ask Lin Chuan to stay.
After leaving Zhou Rui's aunt's house, Lin Chuan initially intended to visit Zhou Kai's place but changed his mind and walked alone along the street.
Both sides of the street were brightly lit, with shops everywhere, highlighting the city's prosperity.
After strolling for over half an hour, Lin Chuan suddenly felt a stir in his heart. Those guarding the morgue at Feng Lingshan taught him a Tracking Puppet Technique. As soon as a puppet appeared within one mile of him, he would sense it.
The stir in his heart at this moment was a reaction from this Tracking Technique, indicating a puppet had appeared nearby.
Lin Chuan's spirit trembled as he stopped, secretly implementing the Heavenly Heart Skill's Sealing Heart Skill, practicing the Tracking Technique taught by Feng Lingshan to trace the puppet's movements.
To his left front, Lin Chuan sensed the puppet's appearance. His body moved, swiftly heading in that direction.
Running about three hundred meters forward, a dark alley appeared, and without hesitation, Lin Chuan turned and dashed inside.
The alley was deep, and there were no street lamps inside.
Charging into the alley, Lin Chuan sensed clearly that the puppet was right there. He secretly elevated the Heavenly Heart Seal's mental method to the highest level, quickly heading deeper into the alley.
After dashing deep into the alley for over one hundred meters, Lin Chuan suddenly stopped because in front of him, a figure dressed in gray clothes had its back to him, seemingly eating something.
That was exactly the puppet Feng Lingshan spoke of. Lin Chuan suddenly shouted at the figure, raised both palms, and secretly channeled six parts of the Heavenly Heart Skill's energy, striking the figure's back.
The energy struck with the sound of breaking wind, hitting the figure's back.
Roar...
The figure was struck by Lin Chuan's palms and flew forward, landing with a thud two meters away.
Lin Chuan, now able to see everything in the dark, observed that at the spot where the figure had paused, there was a corpse that had been drained of blood.
The figure stood up abruptly, its face pale, eyes appearing hollow, expressionless, with traces of blood at the corners of its mouth, clearly having just sucked the blood from that corpse.
Damn, this guy wasn't hurt at all, Lin Chuan was startled.
This shadow was the so-called puppet, yelling strangely, it charged toward Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan raised his palms again, using eighty percent of his power this time, and fiercely struck at the puppet.
Boom...
Strong energy struck the puppet's charging body like lightning, directly sending it flying more than three meters away, crashing to the ground.
Before Lin Chuan could recover his senses, the puppet stood up again, bizarrely shouting and charging at Lin Chuan once more.
Damn, this puppet is really freaking unkillable, thought Lin Chuan as the puppet had already reached him.
Lin Chuan didn't want to be hit by this thing, he suddenly lunged, leaping into the air, concentrating all his energy into his right leg, and fiercely kicked at the puppet.
Thud...
Lin Chuan's right foot kicked the puppet, emitting a dull sound, causing the puppet to fly backward. This time, it didn't fly backward but crashed into the wall behind.
The puppet's body hit the wall, making a thud sound as it fell to the ground, the wall even caved in from the impact.
Without waiting for the puppet to rise, Lin Chuan twisted in mid-air, diving down, his fists attacking the fallen puppet.
The puppet was refined from a dead person, it had no thoughts, its consciousness was just controlled by evil magic.
Lin Chuan's fists were like meteors, each punch fiercely hitting the puppet's body.
The puppet was struck countless times by Lin Chuan's meteor-like fists, finally motionless.
Seeing the puppet motionless, Lin Chuan let out a long sigh, stopping his attack on the puppet.
Feeling somewhat exhausted, Lin Chuan stepped back two paces to adjust his breathing.
He thought after beating the puppet so many times, it should be dead, but less than three minutes later, the puppet moved and shakily stood up again.
"Damn," Lin Chuan cursed, raising his left leg, kicking the just risen puppet.
The puppet was kicked to the ground again by Lin Chuan. He was about to rush in to beat the puppet again when suddenly a tinkling laugh came.
Lin Chuan looked up, not knowing when someone in black night attire stood behind him, their face covered by a black veil. Judging by the laugh and figure, this was clearly a woman.
"You're quite persistent." Seeing Lin Chuan looking, the masked woman laughed, "This puppet was originally a dead person; how can you kill him?"
The puppet shook and started standing again. Lin Chuan punched it on instinct, knocking it to the ground, looking at the masked woman, "From what you said, you have a way to subdue the puppet."
The masked woman chuckled, "Of course I have a way. Get out of the way."
Lin Chuan wanted to see what method the masked woman would use to subdue the indestructible puppet, so he stepped aside.
The masked woman moved swiftly, darted to the puppet, and suddenly flashed a talisman, sticking it on the newly risen puppet's forehead. Amazingly, the puppet stopped moving.
Who exactly was this masked woman and why could she subdue the puppet? Could it be that she was the one who refined this kind of puppet? Lin Chuan shouted, spreading his palms, attacking the masked woman.
Lin Chuan attacked the masked woman because he had already determined that this puppet was refined by her.
The masked woman dodged Lin Chuan's sudden attack with a twist of her body, quickly backing up four or five meters, scolding, "Why are you being so unreasonable? I saved you."
Lin Chuan's attack missed. He didn't continue to attack, staring at the masked woman and asked, "Why did you refine this evil thing to harm people?"
The masked woman seemed taken aback for a moment, then giggled, "So you suspect I'm the puppet's master? You're insane; how could I possibly be the master of such a low-level puppet."
Lin Chuan was stunned. This unkillable puppet turned out to be low-level in her words. If it were high-level, wouldn't that be more terrifying? He asked, "Then tell me, who is the puppet's master?"
The masked woman replied, "Why should I tell you?"
Lin Chuan paused, indeed, why would she need to tell him, leaving him speechless.
The masked woman saw Lin Chuan standing frozen, giggling again, "I can tell you, but it depends on whether we have a chance to meet again. If there is a chance next time, I'll definitely tell you."
Lin Chuan was stunned again, what did she mean by that?
After speaking, the masked woman suddenly moved, her toe lightly touching the ground, she leaped up, and before Lin Chuan could react, she was gone.
Logically, Lin Chuan's speed was fast enough, but the masked woman's speed seemed even faster.
Who exactly was this masked woman? Why did she have a way to subdue the puppet? Judging from her performance just now, her cultivation seemed very high. Who on earth was she? Lin Chuan stood there dazed, with chaotic thoughts racing in his mind.
