Chapter 914 - 912: Counterattack?
"Sister Lan, get me through to Ghost Fox."
Lu Xiaobu lay on the bed, speaking leisurely.
"Yes, Young Master." Liang Lan took out a dedicated phone and dialed Ghost Fox.
Previously, there was only one dedicated phone for Zhang Benhu, now there was another one.
"Hello." Ghost Fox’s cautious voice came through.
The phone displayed as a garbled number, so he couldn’t be sure who it was.
"I’m Liang Lan, the Young Master wants to speak to you." Liang Lan said, then handed the phone to Lu Xiaobu.
"Hello, I’m Lu Xiaobu." Lu Xiaobu said indifferently.
"Greetings, Lord Xiaobu!" Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu’s voice, Ghost Fox immediately replied respectfully.
"How is the Daochuan Society handling going!?"
Lu Xiaobu asked.
"Half of it has been recaptured; I believe it will be fully done by tomorrow!" Ghost Fox promised.
He fought desperately these past two days, even used two Immortal Beans, showcasing his determination!
Of course, his twice-injured-yet-undaunted return to battle terrified the remaining Daochuan Society remnants, significantly speeding up the recapture process.
"Good, today I need you to do one thing. Find out who set the fire at the Bamboo Art Competition and make them confess." Lu Xiaobu commanded.
"This..." Ghost Fox hesitated instinctively!
Reason told him that he should focus on recapturing the entire Daochuan Society now, rather than spend energy on such trivial matters!
Especially such matters that could affect the morale of the recaptured forces!
"Huh?"
Lu Xiaobu gave a slight snort.
Instantly!
Ghost Fox was drenched in sweat; he hurriedly said, "Yes! I’ll comply!"
He had forgotten!
How things should be done wasn’t for him to decided!
He’s merely a puppet, not the ultimate controller!
Doubting Lord Xiaobu’s decisions, is he out of his mind?
"Alright, get it done quickly!"
Lu Xiaobu hung up the phone.
This guy still had his own thoughts, had to be knocked a bit more, otherwise future matters won’t be easy to handle!
On the other end, Ghost Fox wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth: "Go, find those two kids who set the fire before, say that I want them!"
...
After arranging, Lu Xiaobu saw the online argument escalating!
Meanwhile, Korea, the Philippines, and others all joined the fray!
However, they are just fueling the fire, watching the fun without caring about the consequences!
Stirring trouble everywhere!
Heavenly Dynasty Netizens: "In any case, one word, you got burned, so you deserved it, stop blaming others! Shameless!"
Korean Netizens: "That’s right! Japan, you deserved this long ago! I think the fire was too small!"
Japan Netizens: "It’s clearly Lu Xiaobu’s deliberate arson, yet you cover for him! This is blatant crime!"
Korean Netizens: "Exactly! Exactly! This matter was clearly done by Lu Xiaobu! Although it’s done beautifully, you can’t just not acknowledge it!"
Heavenly Dynasty Netizens: "You’re talking nonsense! We could also say Japan set fire themselves! Haven’t you done this before?!"
Korean Netizens: "Exactly! Exactly! Show us the evidence! Without evidence, Lu Xiaobu cannot be condemned just by your words!"
Japan Netizens: "Evidence will be provided! But that’s not an excuse for you to refuse accountability! If you’re brave enough to do it, you should own up to it!"
Korean Netizens: "Right! One should be brave enough to own up!"
Heavenly Dynasty Netizens: "Korean idiots!"
Japan Netizens: "Exactly, exactly! They’re idiots!"
Korean Netizens: "..." You big bullies! Aren’t you guys the ones arguing?! Why insult me?!
After the little interlude, the argument continued!
Neither side could convince the other, ceaselessly insulting each other!
Heavenly Dynasty Netizens had a singular attitude; this matter wasn’t done by us, provide evidence, or else it’s just slander!
On Japan’s side, they held firm that Lu Xiaobu was responsible and demanded he be handed over!
As for Korea? They’re just stirring trouble!
However, their feelings were worlds apart!
Heavenly Dynasty Netizens, though being blamed and insulted, were overwhelmingly happy!
It could even be said, they were completely gleeful!
After all, they all knew it was actually done by Lu Xiaobu!
But!
There’s no evidence!
What can you do?!
We just won’t admit it!
Come on! Bite us if you can!
As for Japan, they were absolutely furious!
They also could guess it was done by Lu Xiaobu!
Yet!
Darn it, there’s no evidence!
The opposite side won’t admit, even calls their accusations slander!
Is that infuriating or not?!
Of course it is!
So angry they’re almost exploding!
The matter was escalating!
But, it was only a civilian dispute at the moment; neither side’s officials had spoken up!
After all, they can’t talk recklessly.
Everything must be backed by evidence!
Both sides waited for new evidence to decide the handling of this incident!
Japan’s officials were frantic, a group working day and night to try and find some crucial evidence!
If they don’t come up with something soon!
Their credibility would completely disappear!
However!
"Got it! Got it!"
A red-eyed guy suddenly exclaimed in the surveillance room.
"What did you find?!"
Everyone immediately gathered around.
"Look, this was found in a fat recluse’s house, a camera at the window used for spying! From this angle, you can vaguely see Lu Xiaobu and the others!"
The red-eyed guy said excitedly.
Finally a breakthrough!
Finally!
"But, this resolution is too low! And, we don’t see Lu Xiaobu doing anything special!" Others raised doubts.
This camera angle didn’t capture Lu Xiaobu using the Dragon Capturing Hand.
The video only showed a blurry side profile of Lu Xiaobu.
"No, this is enough! Look at the timestamp!" The red-eyed guy pointed at the recording time, "This is the time when Jingguo Shrine caught fire. With this video, we can prove Lu Xiaobu’s involvement in this incident! It’s enough!"
"Right, right! That’s it! Yes! Yes!" The crowd started cheering excitedly.
Finally, finally, there’s a discovery!
Lu Xiaobu, this time you won’t escape?!
As long as you’re involved in this, others can’t cover for you anymore!
Then, we can settle the score slowly!
"Before night falls, hold a press conference, I’ll handle this and make the video clearer!" The red-eyed man said enthusiastically!
"Alright!" Everyone exchanged looks, suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu! Let’s see what you’ll do! This time you’ll pay with your blood!"
In their hearts, Lu Xiaobu was already a dead man!
Finding evidence meant Lu Xiaobu was doomed!
