NOVEL NEXT Chapter 402 Heavenly Master 109
Situ Shuangshuang was certain that this family's fate would definitely be retribution, and only then did Dong Wentao feel a sense of relief. People like this deserve such an end! They should learn not to treat others' lives so lightly!
The mother and daughter were making a scene at the door for a long time, and Dong Wentao leaned against the door, eavesdropping on the commotion. Neither Situ Shuangshuang nor Dong Wentao got angry at their vulgar curses; in fact, Dong Wentao found it quite refreshing. In all the different kinds of women he had encountered before, none were of the shrewish type—most were the kind that maintained their image at all times!
However, this time Dong Wentao learned his lesson and didn't think about climbing the wall to watch the commotion again. In fact, Situ Shuangshuang also liked to see the excitement, but she hid it well. Dong Wentao couldn't even tell that Situ Shuangshuang, who sat in the yard with a book and looked serious, was just like him, there to listen to the fuss.
After listening for a while, a fleeting smile crossed Situ Shuangshuang's lips because she heard the sound of a police car not far away.
With a slight movement of her fingers, Situ Shuangshuang silently withdrew the mana shielding the surroundings. Soon, the voices of police presenting their badges and asking questions about the arrest came from outside, followed by the sound of Wang Shuzhen pulling Lin Shan and making a scene. After that, the sound of Wang Shuzhen being forcibly subdued by the police was heard.
Dong Wentao sneaked open the door and looked at the backs of Wang Shuzhen and Lin Shan being led away by the police, a look of schadenfreude on his face.
Situ Shuangshuang poured herself a cup of tea, feeling that the sense of doing good without leaving her name was quite nice. Although she hadn't done anything big, just extracted Mi Hongyi's memory of being thrown into the sewer by Lin Shan, converted it into a video from a third-person perspective, and anonymously sent it to the police station.
Lin Shan was found guilty of the attempted murder of Mi Hongyi. Although the law couldn't punish Lin Shan, due to the extremely vile nature of the incident and Lin Shan's parents' deliberate evasion of responsibility, the court ordered Wang Shuzhen and her husband to pay a large sum to Mi Hongyi's parents.
Wang Shuzhen and her husband wanted to renege and not pay, but ended up having to cry and scream as they were forced to pay by the court's mandate!
Having resolved the extreme family of Wang Shuzhen and Lin Shan, Situ Shuangshuang finally found some peace. There was still some time before the new school term began, so Situ Shuangshuang was considering going to a deep mountain forest to cultivate for a while.
However, before Situ Shuangshuang could leave, someone showed up at her doorstep again. This time, her first major client, Duan Ze, came, and he brought along a business partner—another wealthy man, to put it simply!
The man brought by Duan Ze seemed about the same age as Duan Ze. His name was Lu Tianxing. He ran a large company that had always gone smoothly with no setbacks, but now this extraordinarily successful businessman looked utterly exhausted, his face was full of fatigue. He entered with Duan Ze, downcast, and slouched into a chair, looking utterly miserable.
After the three of them sat down indoors, seeing his old friend's dejected expression, Duan Ze sighed and said to Situ Shuangshuang, "My friend's child has also encountered some trouble, and he's here to seek your help, Master."
Situ Shuangshuang nodded and said lightly to the man with the defeated look, "Then let's hear what's going on with your son."
At that moment, Dong Wentao entered with a fruit platter, placed it down, and flashed a gentle smile at Duan Ze and Lu Tianxing before silently sitting down next to Situ Shuangshuang, looking as if he would listen quietly without interrupting.
Duan Ze and Lu Tianxing were unaware of who Dong Wentao was. As they saw him living there, they assumed he was also a Little Heavenly Master and didn't think much of it.
Situ Shuangshuang took a glance at Dong Wentao, who was sitting beside her. When he noticed her gaze, he immediately showed a flattering smile, and Situ Shuangshuang, saying nothing, tacitly allowed him to stay and listen.
Previously, Situ Shuangshuang thought that her master allowed Dong Wentao to stay here with ulterior motives, perhaps fearing she was lonely and wanting to find her a friend. But after staying together for two days, Situ Shuangshuang realized she might have misunderstood her master's intentions! Dong Wentao had something peculiar about him.
Even though Situ Shuangshuang had some speculations, she wasn't able to confirm whether she had guessed her master's intentions correctly. However, she believed her guesses were most likely correct, so letting Dong Wentao experience the Heavenly Master trade was fine.
Seeing that Situ Shuangshuang merely glanced at him without opposing his presence, Dong Wentao couldn't help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. Then, suppressing his excitement, he listened to Lu Tianxing recounting his troubles.
Lu Tianxing and Duan Ze had been friends for many years; their friendship was strong even back in their university days. Later on, as they started their companies, they supported and fought alongside each other. They even chased the same girls and held joint weddings!
Lu Tianxing had only one son, named Lu Lei, who, like Duan Ze's daughter Duan Tong, inherited their father's good genes and had a talent for business. This made both Lu Tianxing and Duan Ze very satisfied, feeling they had successors.
Both intended to hand over their companies to their children once they retired, and fortunately, neither Duan Tong, who was a girl, nor Lu Lei had any objections to this.
However, Lu Tianxing's son Lu Lei had one particular interest—he was especially fond of cats and dogs, these little animals. Since he was young, Lu Lei's family always kept cats and dogs, all of which were stray animals Lu Lei had encountered and rescued while walking the streets.
Perhaps because Lu Lei genuinely loved these small animals, he had a great affinity with them. No matter what kind of little animal it was, he could coax them. Even animals with a particularly bad temper wouldn't bite Lu Lei.
Initially, Lu Tianxing didn't pay much attention to his son's hobby—after all, they were just a few small animals. If they were dirty, they could hire a couple of maids to clean up. He didn't mind spending money on cat food and dog food; his child's happiness was most important.
However, as Lu Lei grew, Lu Tianxing gradually discovered that his son seemed to have shown signs of going overboard. Not only did Lu Lei keep these animals at home, but he also opened a pet center. Apart from offering pet care and selling pet products, the pet center was filled with stray animals that Lu Lei had adopted and rescued.
Lu Lei kept these animals clean and offered them up for adoption for free. As long as adopters could prove their income was sufficient to support a cat and promised not to abandon it, or if they didn't want it anymore, they would return it to the pet center, it was fine.
Although Lu Lei's pet center was profitable, the money spent rescuing animals was more. Lu Lei refused to accept donations from others and only put his own money in to maintain the pet center!
If Lu Lei had just kept a few pets himself, Lu Tianxing wouldn't have minded, but Lu Lei had reached the point of losing money to keep pets, and was raising a large group at that. This feverish enthusiasm clearly indicated a lifelong commitment to these cats and dogs!
