Chapter 581: Chapter 173: Mr. Lu’s Righteousness

Dean’s office, in front of Chen Rutang are three piles of newspapers, three stances, three perspectives. He reads them many times, not looking at the stories, but observing human nature, observing the Celestial Principle School.

Only in a dilemma can human nature be revealed.

The front page of the Citizen Daily weekly is placed at the top: In Pursuit of Conscience.

Another week has passed, and the scammer still hasn’t been caught. Li Xin and his team have tried everything but haven’t found the materials. In the money-can-do-anything black market, these two materials are the most they can list as rewards, but they are not attainable on demand, even the reward does not work.

On one hand, there is not enough time; on the other, this is beyond what they can afford, the reward guarantee needs 100 gold. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Lu Shuai already has no real estate to sell, and the houses of others are not worth that much.

Li Xin made a judgment: The Round Table Conference can provide another set of Tears of the Dead and Blood of Flame Beetle.

The dice gave a quick judgment: One point.

Far away in Hedan, Estella also saw the special overseas edition of the Hex Bird Report. When she saw this scene, she instinctively felt it might be related to Mr. Gemini, that this child might be the one Gemini wanted to save. She wanted to help, so she secretly contacted her second brother again.

But this time, her second brother was also powerless to help, and he had many things to deal with now, so Estella didn’t want to disturb him further.

She could only hope for a miracle to happen.

As these matters were about to fade into oblivion, a woman wearing a black robe and a veil walked into the Citizen Daily.

Lin Fei was surprised looking at the woman in front of her.

"Ms. Lin Fei, I have something I want to publish." A cool voice sounded, "My name is Tang Chendan, a member of Shadow Owl, I know the truth about the Great Alchemist scam incident."

The editing room was surrounded by people; these past ten days had been a tumultuous time for the Citizen Daily, Justice Daily, and Flying Bird Daily, with all sides firing verbal shots over the Lu Shuai incident, but as it involved the Night Patrol, orders from above prohibited slandering the Night Patrol without evidence, causing Tang Yinxiao to disappear in the subsequent debates.

Now the most important person besides Lu Shuai had appeared, and everyone keenly smelled the news’s scent.

Tang Chendan and Lin Fei talked for a long time.

"Ms. Lin, please tell him tomorrow."

After saying this, she left, thoroughly wrapped, quickly disappearing into the night.

Lin Fei took a while to calm down her emotions and left the office, "Everyone’s working overtime tonight, big news!"

***

On a chilly evening, the dawn in Dragon Capital became bustling with people gradually waking up early, driving away the cold with their diligent work.

The crisp and resonant voice of the newspaper vendor pierced through the city’s calmness.

"Extra! Extra! Shock—The Great Alchemist scam case itself is a conspiracy!"

"Extra! Extra! Mr. Lu risks his reputation to save the hero’s orphan!"

"Extra! Extra! Major twist, the child has been rescued!"

"Moon God blesses, the Grand Governor has successors, the truth is hot off the press, Citizen Daily brings you the real truth behind the fake alchemist scam case!"

The busy pedestrians, upon hearing this, couldn’t quite believe their ears, instinctively pausing their steps.

"What nonsense are you spewing? Is this something that scoundrel Lu Shuai paid to concoct? Don’t mess around, I’ll really beat you!"

"Sir, it’s absolutely true, all of this is Mr. Lu turning fate to save that innocent, pitiable child against the odds, Mr. Lu is a real man, a true hero!"

"Give me one copy, I don’t believe he can turn the tables!"

"Give me a copy too!"

"I want one too, give it to me first!"

The Justice Daily and Flying Bird Daily, which were following up on the previous essay, were directly dumbfounded, urgently ceasing further sales of their newspapers.

More and more people in Dragon Capital saw the latest Citizen Daily, and anyone who saw the paper seemed to be frozen in place as if under a petrification spell.

The truth of the matter is that the illness of Night Patrol’s Dangao is a severe Evil God bloodline curse, a soul void that only top-tier Great Alchemists can heal, and even they must specialize in this field; realistically, even if the King sought a Great Alchemist’s help, it wouldn’t be easy. Night Patrol tried everything but couldn’t find anyone; they could only watch as the child moved day by day closer to death.

Until Mr. Lu appeared, he is a Silent Canon Law School student but also a North District Lower Council member; when he came to Night Patrol to assist in solving the case, he learned about Dangao’s condition, and upon discovering Dangao only had months to live, he devised a method to find a Great Alchemist.

That was to make this event stir the city, even spreading overseas, to awaken the Great Alchemist’s sense of justice, sacrificing personal and even family honor to present himself as someone greedy and depraved, indifferent to the child’s life.

To raise money, he sold the only inherited house left by Governor Luthor to him.

The fake alchemist scam was a fabrication to enable the true Great Alchemist’s intervention.

With Moon God’s blessing, a righteous Great Alchemist intervened, and now Dangao’s life is no longer in danger, everything is improving.

Within the incident, Tang Yinxiao came forward at the Citizen Daily to personally clarify the beginning and end of the incident, while clearing Mr. Lu of any connection with her, claiming this was only to garner more attention, expressing immense gratitude and sincere apologies to Mr. Lu, wishing him all the best in the future, and also thanking the kind citizens who offered assistance.

People on the street were stunned by this revelation.

An orphan of Night Patrol without wealth or influence contracted a terminal illness, with her only fate being slowly to await death, while Lu Shuai, unwilling for a hero to die with regrets, devised such an extraordinary plan to create a miracle.

What is justice? This is justice!

This is the descendant of Governor Luthor; this is truly the descendant of the Grand Governor.

Mr. Lu, righteousness prevails!

In the morning, Grand Governor Ye Shedao had a copy of the Citizen Daily on his desk. As he read, he put down his chopsticks, "Arrange for me to meet this person."

"Yes, sir." The butler nodded respectfully; having helmed the Cabinet for over twenty years, Grand Governor Ye Shedao was still a formidable force in Dragon Capital, even at the twilight of his career.

"This young man has limitless potential."

Being experienced in politics, he knew too well how the offspring of Luthor, having performed such an extraordinary feat, would gain tremendous popular sentiment and support, a power every faction urgently craved, which meant that he now had the aura of a Golden Body, unaffected by trivial matters.

Hong Yan had a habit of rising early, having practiced a round of boxing at this time, he was at the peak, his body brimming with vigorous life force and strength, habitually opening the Bird Daily, his election competition with Nalan Jingguo was at a fever pitch, currently slightly behind, needing influential individuals’ support to win popular backing.

Looking at the paper, "Immediately call Hong Ban over."

"Yes, sir."
