Chapter Seventeen: Thunder and Lightning

  Late at night.

  Four black Audi cars slowly drove into the abandoned steel mill, and with the piles of steel accumulated by the iron slag pool, all were thrown into the iron slag pool. The boiling iron slag emitted high temperatures, ordinary people would definitely not be able to withstand it here.

  Over a hundred robust men have quickly washed up, put on clean black suits, and dispersed with cold expressions, sealing off the entire area within a five-kilometer radius.

  Gu Xinyue watched as the Audi car drove in slowly, her heart suddenly becoming extremely tense. She had wanted to join the core of this organization countless times, but never had the opportunity. Now that the big boss behind the scenes was back in the country, ordering her to collect a large amount of medicinal materials, she finally saw a glimmer of hope.

  She used to be proud and arrogant, when she was studying abroad, because of her refusal to pursue other boys, which led to the other party bullying her. Coincidentally, a passing sister helped her out and even introduced her to the organization.

  Ever since she joined the organization, every time she understood more about it, she was shocked again and again to find that the organization was even larger than she had imagined, and its strength was even more powerful.

  Even now!

  She already knew a lot about the organization, but she was still very clear that what she had learned was only the tip of the iceberg.

  Her ambition is not big, but she understands a truth that only with great power and authority can one avoid being bullied by others and protect the people they care about.

  The respect and admiration flowing in Gu Xinyue's eyes, looking at the neon-colored car that had just arrived, her heart was filled with excitement. She knew that Boss would not make such a big show unless there was something big going on.

  "Boss!"

  That lovely sloppy girl came up with a bow.

  Nianhong hugged the pure white Persian cat, her eyes scanning around before asking faintly: "Yaya, how's the preparation going?"

  "Everything is ready," said YaYa.

  Nianhong nodded and her gaze fell on Guxin Yue, who was not far away. She waved at her.

  Gu Xinyue suppressed the excitement in her heart and came to Nianhong's face. She said respectfully: "Boss, Gu Xinyue did not disappoint you, found all the medicinal materials you needed."

  Nian Hong smiled calmly: "You handle things very steadily. From now on, the companies in Jingnan City will be handed over to you for management! Tomorrow, go to 'Si Zi Group' to find General Manager Chen Rui to handle the handover procedures."

  Gu Xinyue respectfully nodded in agreement.

  Nihong took a step forward, walking towards the iron pot, and stretched out her hand to throw the pure white Persian cat into the boiling iron liquid. Watching it scream frantically inside, its anguished wails filling the air, Nihong finally turned to Gu Xin Yue, whose face had changed color, and said: "Remember, everything that happens tonight is not to be spoken of."

  "Yes, Heart Moon will absolutely not leak out a single word."

  In the sky, the bright moonlight was blocked by a gathering of dark clouds. The originally clear blue sky now turned into a somber and oppressive scene.

  "What's going on?"

  Gu Xinyue's face was shocked as she suddenly lifted her head and looked up at the thick clouds in the sky.

  Ya Ya walked up to Ni Hong's side with big strides, staring at Gu Xin Yue. In a soft yet stern voice, she said: "Shut up, no matter what you see later, you're not allowed to make any noise."

  Nihong stood quietly by the iron slurry pool, her eyes becoming exceptionally firm. As she slightly opened her arms, a gust of wind suddenly appeared around her body, lifting it up and floating it away. A powerful aura spread out in all directions like a tide.

  "Drop items, ores, and gold bricks."

  Ya Ya's expression changed slightly, and she shouted in a delicate voice.

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  Around the warehouses with open doors, a figure as fast as lightning appeared at the edge of the iron slurry pool. They were carrying large black trunks and big hemp sacks, and one by one, they threw the medicinal materials, minerals, and gold bricks inside into the iron slurry pool.

  "What is this?"

  Gu Xin Yue's face was shocked, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.

  How can people float up?

  The boss she...

  What kind of person is she?

  And!

  They bought a large quantity of medicine, spending over 80 billion. This is a terrifying amount. But how can they just throw it all into the iron pool? Wouldn't that render the medicine useless? And wouldn't that 80 billion be wasted in vain?

  There were also those precious stones, and among them was a stone called "Golden Scale Stone" that her grandfather had collected two pieces of. She had heard her grandfather say before that the two "Golden Scale Stones" were priceless treasures, and if they were taken out to sell, those precious stone collectors would probably be willing to pay tens of billions for them.

  The "Golden Scale Stone" that was thrown into the iron slag pool, whether in terms of volume or quantity, was dozens of times more than the two pieces Grandfather had collected.

  And those gold bricks!

  That's glittering gold!

  Throw them all into this boiling iron slag pool, isn't that burning money!

  Ten minutes exactly.

  All the medicinal materials and precious gems, gold bricks were thrown into the iron crucible, swallowed and melted by the rolling, surging molten iron.

  "Yaya, come."

  The sound of Nianhong, entered YaYa's ears.

  Ya Ya's body floated in mid-air, her feet treading on nothingness, step by step she walked up to the rainbow.

  "Boss, you said."

  Nianhong raised her arms, wanting to stroke Yaoya's lovely face, but when her fingers were only a few centimeters away from Yaoya's face, she froze there, with complex and bitter eyes saying: "Yaoya, you are the child I raised, except for him... You are my most beloved child. Tonight, if I succeed, it will be fine. If I fail, remember what I told you, go find him, try every means to make him fall in love with you, even if he is a puddle of mud, you must turn him into exquisite porcelain. This life, you are his."

  "Yes, boss!"

  Ya Ya was indoctrinated from a young age with the idea of living for a certain man, so she didn't have any rejection.

  "Call me mom!"

  Nianhong suddenly said.

  Ya Ya was stunned, and beneath her iron-like heart, a surge of emotions she had never felt before emerged - reluctance, worry, happiness, excitement...

  Her complicated mind made her voice tremble slightly when she spoke for the first time:

  "Mom..."

  Nianhong nodded in relief and said in a low voice as she waved her hand:

  "Everyone, evacuate the steel mill and seal off a radius of ten kilometers around it. The extraordinary phenomenon has not ended yet, no one is allowed to enter."

  Rumbling waves spread out in all directions.

  In the blink of an eye!

  Everyone within a five-kilometer radius heard it loud and clear, they didn't hesitate for a moment, and one by one they scattered in all directions like the wind.

  "Follow me!"

  Ya Ya glanced at Gu Xin Yue and whispered.

  "Yes!"

  Gu Xinyue knew that Ya Wa's status in the organization was very high, so she respectfully nodded and followed her out.

  Floating in the air about ten meters high, Nian Hong's beautiful face, still with a hint of elegance, was filled with complex emotions. She muttered to herself: "Son, success or failure is at this moment. I have prepared for twenty years just for today. If I succeed today, I will immediately go back and find you, and in this lifetime, I will make you the happiest child in the world, giving you everything you want; if I fail, please forgive me, and in the next life, I will come again to be your mother, making up for the maternal love you lost in this lifetime..."

  Electric currents suddenly appeared on her body.

  If it were an ordinary person, the electric currents would have charred their body by now. This bizarre scene is perhaps only seen in anime or fantasy movies.

  "Whoosh..."

  At the moment of electric current surging, the rainbow descended from the sky and rushed into a rock magma pool that was four or five meters deep.

  "Ah..."

  A heart-wrenching and lung-splitting scream shoots up into the clouds.

  Rumble...

  A loud thunder, in the dense dark clouds, tens of thousands of lightning bolts cut through the sky, those arm-thick lightning bolts, constantly striking the neon body in the iron slag pool.

  It was as if the end of the world had arrived, and the originally dark night sky was illuminated by flashes of lightning, with hundreds of people around, each one lifting their heads in shock, gazing up at this unbelievable scene.

  Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, Gulou District.

  Meng Xian'er's body in the room suddenly disappeared, and when her figure reappeared, she was already on the rooftop of a building over ten floors high.

  She gazed in a southeasterly direction, and an odd expression floated into her eyes.

  Ten fingers lightly pinched!

  A mysterious flavor suddenly rose to her mind, and her complexion turned slightly pale, because she had grasped the heavenly mechanism and discovered that there was a mysterious connection between herself and the strange movement in the southeast.

  "Who is it?"

  Ji'nan City, Wu Xuan District.

  In the courtyard of an ordinary residence, an old man sitting cross-legged suddenly changed his complexion. His body shape instantly shot out and in a flash of lightning-fast kung fu, he appeared on the rooftop of a nearby high-rise building over twenty stories tall.

  "It's been forty years since that evil aura caused a disturbance in the heavens, and I never thought I'd see it again today. What on earth happened?"

  The vicissitudes of life have left deep marks on the old man's face, with a head full of white hair fluttering in the wind, having an air of elegance and refinement.

  Lou Drum District Jiangshan Huayuan Villa District.

  Zhang Yi sat cross-legged in the room, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushing in from all directions. His eyes suddenly opened, and with a movement of his body, he was already at the window in the blink of an eye.

  "What's going on with the density of spiritual energy between heaven and earth? How did it increase so quickly?"

  "Why do I have this feeling of panic?"

  "What's going on?"

  After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and rushed out of the room at lightning speed, arriving at the rooftop in no time.

  "What's with this incredibly thick heavenly energy? What's going on today?"

  As soon as he stepped onto the rooftop, his heart was secretly shocked. The "Huishen Jue" circulating within his body allowed him to easily sense the surging heavenly and earthly spiritual energy around him.

  Be aware!

  This feeling can usually only be felt in a Spirit Gathering Array!

  "What's that noise?"

  Zhang Yi's eyes widened in an instant, and a look of shock flowed out from his eyes.

  Gazing out at the southeastern horizon, a terrifying scene composed of flashes of lightning made him feel as if his heartbeat had suddenly come to a halt.
