Chapter 54 The filter is broken
The evening sun spilled through the gap in the horizon, casting the withered yellow branches onto the faded wall.

Chu Zihang stopped the car on the side of the road. Lu Mingfei looked from afar and could still see the remaining seal on the building.

After the boss absconded with the money, this bustling area which was hailed as a "high-tech heavy industrial zone" ten years ago has become deserted. Most people have left here to make a living, and even if they want to stay, there is no way because the government has cut off the water and electricity in the area.

Now even the homeless can't stay there anymore. The park, which originally had tens of thousands of people, is left with only the security guards. After so many years, no one is willing to take over this mess.

Later, the Black Prince Group planned to take over, but before the government could complete the procedures, the Black Prince Group also went bankrupt.

Now, this industrial park has become a legend among investors: whoever takes it over will die.

"Speaking of which, the collapse of the Black Prince Group has a lot to do with me."

Lu Mingfei felt a subtle sense of guilt as he looked at the area where a protective net had just been erected but construction had yet to begin and the area had rotted away.

He has gone out several times over the years, and the nanny group has to mediate with all parties and protect Lu Mingfei. It costs a lot of money just to attract the attention of certain factions in the secret party.

In order to compete with Cassel's super artificial intelligence EVA in computing power, Su Enxi was forced to steal electricity, and now she has been blacklisted by the French power company.

Naturally, the Black Prince Group’s funding chain was broken and it had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.

“It’s all good.”

Chu Zihang's expression remained unchanged as he walked first towards a three-story building which should have been the staff dormitory.

If Lu Mingfei had not bankrupted the Black Prince Group, he might not have been able to get any news about his father.

"Lu Mingze is indeed hiding a lot of things from us."

A subtle resentment flashed across his mind and Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Lu Mingze has his own reasons. According to him, if Lu Mingfei, the person involved, knew everything in advance, he would not be able to escape EVA's personality profile even with Su Enxi's cover-up.

Lu Mingfei followed Chu Zihang through the rusty iron gate and came to the interior of the small building.

This three-story building has a two-story basement. Water has seeped into the interior of the building, and there is still moss and rusty parts on the edges of the corridors.

There was a smell of corruption in the air. Chu Zihang brought Lu Mingfei to a room with ease.

062
After hesitating for a moment, as if lost in some kind of recollection, Chu Zihang stretched out his hand and placed it on the iron door, pressing it lightly.

Click~
The rusty door lock naturally could not withstand the sudden force. With a teeth-grinding sound, a dilapidated little house appeared before the two.

A double bed, a converted kitchen, a desk and a chair, that's all this cabin has.

The bathroom is public.

"He's been living here since his mother separated from him."

Chu Zihang came to the bedside table and picked up the picture frame on it.

Inside was a family photo.

The handsome man had shiny black hair and a bright smile on his face. He had one arm around the beautiful woman's waist and was holding a boy in the middle who was concentrating on licking ice cream.

Chu Tianjiao is not a good person.

He is boastful and likes to brag, but in fact he has no ambition and has no idea how to be a father or a qualified husband.

He drove his boss's luxury car to trick the favored daughter of heaven, Su Xiaoyan, into his arms, and led Chu Zihang, a child who should have lived a comfortable and ordinary life, down a path of no return.

To be honest, ever since he grew up and understood how badly Chu Tianjiao had done, Chu Zihang couldn't say that he missed the memories of this place at all.

Even on that rainy night, I didn't treat him well.

But why should I compete with a dead person now?
Hey ~
He had no choice but to keep going down this road.

The flames burned the photo frame. With a silent sigh, Chu Zihang shook off the ashes on the photo, stuffed it into his arms, and then looked at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei's perception is much stronger than his. If there is anything mysterious about this room, asking him would be much more effective than investigating it himself.

"The thing is under our feet."

Lu Mingfei raised his hand and used his telekinesis to push open the double bed, revealing a tightly assembled secret door. The door was made of stainless steel and had a heavy padlock on it.

The outer layer is also plated with a layer of bronze. The alchemical technique is not very sophisticated, and the seals on it may have had some functions but have long disappeared with the passage of time.

Now that alchemy has been disabled, picking the lock is very simple.

"But do you really want to go down?"

Reaching out to pull off the padlock, Lu Mingfei asked abruptly.

"Ah."

Chu Zihang nodded silently.

"Then let's go and see what your dad has hidden."

The secret door was pushed open from the inside. Lu Mingfei smiled at the silent Chu Zihang and jumped into the basement first.

Chu Zihang also followed in.

This basement was well ventilated. The fan, which should have stopped working long ago due to the water and power outages, was still spinning, bringing a strange fragrance into the nostrils of the two.

Lu Mingfei's eyes swept across this small house which could be called luxurious.

The wine cabinet that occupies an entire wall is neatly displayed with various types of whiskeys, and next to each bottle of whiskey is a box of high-quality Cuban cigars.

The other wall was converted into a tall bookshelf, which contained not books but well-preserved vinyl records.

Limited edition beds made in Australia, a record player made in Londinium in 1867, etc.
All kinds of luxurious goods almost filled the entire room.

"Chu Tianjiao is not simple."

Lu Mingfei calculated the value of these things and thought that if he put them up for auction, he might be able to buy Lu Tianming's company.

"."

Chu Zihang held his forehead with one hand, feeling that the filter that Chu Tianjiao had put on himself on the rainy night was shattering.

For a moment, he really didn't want to care about his father anymore.

"Lu Mingze should have asked us to see more than this."

Lu Mingfei shrugged and walked to the luxurious bed in the middle of the room.

"This way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the papers tied to the ceiling with red ropes were torn down and placed neatly in front of the two of them.

Among them are records of various mysterious events in history, from the Tunguska explosion, the explosion of the Kyoto gunpowder factory in the Ming Dynasty, all the way back to the Henjodaro explosion in India. They simply show that the occurrence of these events all have dragon-related factors.

He is not very concerned with events of the distant past.

Lu Mingfei landed on a manuscript written by Chu Tianjiao.

He was more interested in this.

【May 2004, 5 - Record
The old man from the Chen family was declared not guilty, and I was warned that there was a traitor in the school's upper echelons.

I can no longer send information to Cassel except for surveillance targets, even if it is Angers, I dare not take the risk.

But, that thing, where should I send that thing? 】

"Pack up your things and leave first?"

Lu Mingfei took out a capsule.

"it is good."
