Lu Zheng invited Lin Wan to sit down, handed her a bowl and chopsticks, poured a drink, and then asked, "Does Interpol have information on this kind of secret cult?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it initially, but then I received the related assignment and am preparing to travel," Lin Wan took a sip of her drink.

"Heading out again?" Lu Zheng asked.

Lin Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I haven't been on a trip for a long time, okay?"

"But how did you get involved with this secret cult?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Because a key member of this cult is from Hua Country."

"Oh?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"And he is a crime suspect who fled from Hua Country," Lin Wan said calmly, "Over here, they discovered his whereabouts, and while tracking, inadvertently found this secret cult.

An undercover agent once attended a secret sacrificial ceremony of the cult, using a pinhole camera to capture some blurry images. There's one fleeting scene that looks very much like a sheep head bronze statue."

Lin Wan waved her hand and took a photo out of her bracelet, "My task is to go to Europe to assist the local police in arresting the suspect. I've spent the whole afternoon researching the cult dossier, and then discovered this from the footage."

Lu Zheng took the photo and saw that the lighting in the picture was dim, and the main subject of the shoot was a life-sized Satan statue.

"Where is this?"

"A medieval castle."

"Goodness!"

Although Europe has fought many wars throughout history, the number of castles left behind is still quite significant.

Lu Zheng looked at the photo again and saw two pedestals in front of the Satan sculpture, with a sheep head bronze statue on the pedestal on the left.

And on the pedestal on the right...

"Why is it always this kind of thing?" Lu Zheng was speechless again.

Lin Wan shrugged, "Then what else can it be?"

"Don't they have any spiritual pursuits?"

"Joining a secret cult doesn't count as having a spiritual pursuit?"

Liu Qingyan looked over curiously and saw that the object on the right pedestal was a large sheep whip sculpture.

Liu Qingyan, "..."

"Does anyone else know about this?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Just me. The photo you're looking at is one I restored," Lin Wan said, "The original footage was merely a vague shape and flashed by. I felt it looked familiar, so I captured a frame and restored it to create this photo."

Lu Zheng looked at the photo again, noticing many irregularities that were likely caused by mosaic restoration issues.

"Where is this castle? I'll take a trip?"

"No need for you," Lin Wan shook her head, "Such a small matter, I'll take care of it while I'm on my trip. Plus, I now have a storage bracelet, so I don't need to worry about hiding things; I'm just letting you know."

Previously, Lin Wan didn't mind going with Lu Zheng, but with Si Lingxi and the other two women now in the picture, Lin Wan's competitive spirit was stirred up.

Her cultivation level wasn't as high, but after all, one was a Fire Phoenix cultivated for three thousand years, another absorbed incense as a Ghost God, and the third had a Celestial Fox bloodline. How could an ordinary person like her compete?

However, Lin Wan could fully handle some modern affairs by herself, and she wanted to accomplish them beautifully.

"Really no need?"

"Really no need!"

Lin Wan nodded affirmatively, stating that retrieving the sheep head bronze statue and even sending it to the museum, she now didn't need Lu Zheng's help at all. With her Dao practice strength, she could already use the invisibility technique.

When Lin Wan said no need, it truly meant no need, and Lu Zheng wasn't worried about her getting exposed, knowing that Lin Wan was the one helping Lu Zheng tie up loose ends on many occasions in the past.

"Alright, so when are you leaving for your trip?" asked Lu Zheng.

"Leaving tomorrow," Lin Wan replied with a hint of what she meant.

As a result, Si Lingxi, Liu Qingyan, and Shen Ying all shared a knowing smile and simultaneously helped Lin Wan with the dishes.

...

That night, Lu Zheng stayed in Lin Wan's room without coming out.

Fortunately, with Lin Wan's cultivation now not being weak, otherwise, she probably couldn't have caught the morning flight.

...

Driving back from the airport, Lu Zheng received a call from Xie Feng.

"Is President Lu in Hai City?"

"Yes, is President Xie in Hai City?"

"Yes, yes, as soon as I heard President Lu brought in another batch of Medicine King, I couldn't sit still," Xie Feng laughed heartily on the phone, "So I hurried to Hai City!"

"Great, but I've also scheduled lunch with the boss of Qimingxing Grain Seed Company, if President Xie doesn't mind, why don't you join us?"

Yesterday, Lu Zheng connected and bought a large batch of seeds from the seed company, and the boss insisted on treating Lu Zheng to a meal, leading to today's luncheon.

"Of course, I don't mind!" Xie Feng said.

"Alright then, it's at Huayu Private Kitchen. I've booked the Peony Pavilion, see you at noon."

"Okay!"

When Lu Zheng drove up to Huayu Private Kitchen, he found that everyone was already there.

Xie Feng brought along a female secretary, Liu Zhenming and the Storeroom Manager Liu Wen, as well as today's host, Wang Yanhui from the seed company.

"Sorry, I just sent my girlfriend to the airport for a business trip, and got caught in traffic on the way back."

"We just arrived too."

"That's right, that's right, President Lu please!"

"No rush, let's give the herbs to President Xie first, otherwise, I'm afraid he won't have his mind on eating," Lu Zheng joked, and then retrieved a box from the trunk.

"Not at all!"

Though Xie Feng spoke politely, he quickly had his driver open the trunk of their business car to help carry it inside.

"Xiaoli..."

"No hurry," Lu Zheng stopped Xie Feng from having the secretary settle the bill immediately, "We're all old customers, no rush; calculate and settle after you return."

"Hahaha! Great!"

Lu Zheng, saying this, gave Xie Feng plenty of face, making Xie Feng laugh heartily, "We definitely have to drink a few good glasses with President Lu later!"

Thus, everyone politely and courteously entered the restaurant, started the meal, and drank wine.

Discussing business at the dinner table is a traditional skill for people of Hua Country, so after a little drinking, they started discussing serious matters.

"President Lu's divine techniques are vast; it seems your operations outside have expanded greatly these past few years. The grain order this year is much larger than last time!" said Liu Wen, the Storeroom Manager.

"And you even secured the seed allocation!" Wang Yanhui, the seed company boss, also raised a toast, "President Lu is exceptional!"

"Not at all," Lu Zheng misled them, "it's not a steady path, mainly depending on the demand and situation on the other side."

"That's still good enough. Steady paths aren't that common; this extra income alone is enough for the company's year-end bonus," Wang Yanhui teased, "If there are more good deals like this, President Lu, please consider me!"

Lu Zheng clinked glasses with Wang Yanhui, "You have a point; there really might be, I wonder if your company has any crops that resist cold?"

Ensuring balance, Lu Zheng was preparing to send some to Tushan as well.
