Chapter 249 First Meeting with Lu Ming
"Excuse me, are you Master Feng Shisan?"
After answering the phone, hearing the formulaic voice coming from the other end, I nodded instinctively and said, "This is Feng Shisan. May I ask your name?"
"My surname is Lu!"
The other party replied.
Five minutes later, an SUV with military license plates pulled up beside us, and a middle-aged man in his forties with a cold and stern aura got out.
The man looked at us, extended his hand, and said, "My name is Lu Ming. You must be Master Feng, Master Lin, and Miss Long that Uncle San mentioned?"
"Hello, Brother Lu!"
I also reached out my hand.
Lu Ming's hands were rough, with calluses covering his thumb and forefinger.
After exchanging greetings, we got into the car.
"Your third uncle has told me about your situation. If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll help you coordinate!"
After getting into the car, Lu Ming said.
"Brother Lu, thank you for your help!" I said.
"It's no trouble at all, it's all for the country!" Lu Ming said.
Lin Pangzi and I exchanged a glance. This Lu Ming is methodical and straightforward in his work.
We've encountered people like that before, but we haven't met anyone like this in this circle yet.
I prefer to befriend these kinds of people; they don't require much thought, and they're straightforward and honest.
I thought for a moment and said, "Brother Lu, the main reason we came here is to find a grave!"
After I explained the situation, Lu Ming didn't show much surprise, nor did he seem inclined to gossip. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Master Feng, Qiandao Lake is called Qiandao Lake because at its peak, it really did have a thousand islands. Using conventional methods, we probably won't be able to find the tomb! Just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll help coordinate!"
"I want a helicopter, the sooner the better!" said the blind man on the left.
"no problem!"
Lu Ming readily agreed.
Two hours later, we arrived at Qiandao Lake.
Lin Pangzi, Long Nier, and I waited on the road, while Zuo Xiazi and Lu Ming took a helicopter to find the tomb.
"You're insane! Two hours!"
Watching the helicopter take off, Fatty Lin held up two fingers.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Two hours to Qiandao Lake, and the plane will arrive. Do you know what that means?" Fatty Lin asked rhetorically.
"That means with just a word from Lu Ming, all the procedures will be expedited!" I said.
How could I not understand?
Do you really think it's easy to get helicopters out of the military camp?
When they met, Lu Ming was wearing a very simple military green shirt with no epaulets, so it was impossible to tell what rank he was.
Although it's not obvious, the fact that we arrived at Qiandao Lake and the plane followed us there just two hours after his phone call shows that he must be of a high rank.
"That's not all, Lu Ming is so good at handling things!"
Fatty Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Normally, when we're talking about dragon veins and the Nine Chrysanthemums lineage of Fusang, everyone would chime in with their gossip. But Lu Ming just said 'doing things for the country!'"
"A tight-lipped, non-gossipy, and with strong execution skills—that's the kind of person leaders like!" I said.
"It really is!" Fatty Lin clicked his tongue.
"So we're just going to wait here?" Long Nier asked.
"Let's wait!"
I looked up at the helicopter flying further and further away and said.
"Want one?"
Fatty Lin took out a cigarette and asked.
"Give me one!" I said.
Lighting a cigarette, Fatty Lin exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Crazy, the night I spent with Qiao Siyan the other day, that woman told me a lot about the things going on inside Huayi!"
"What did he say?" I asked.
"Let's talk about how Fan Yiyi and Li Yiyi are vying for the top spot, and how they've been scheming internally to climb the ladder!" Fatty Lin chuckled.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Li Yiyi sleeps with Da Wang, and Fan Yiyi sleeps with Qian Xiaogang and Xiao Wang. These two women are scheming against each other to get ahead!" Fatty Lin said with a laugh.
"Oh, by the way, do you remember that war epic they made?"
After saying that, Fatty Lin said this.
"Which one? The one where we had a conflict with Qian Xiaogang, 'The Charge'?"
I asked.
"Yes, that's the one!" Fatty Lin said.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Didn't Deng Xiaojun have a conflict with Qian Xiaogang because of that film? Do you know what Deng Xiaojun did to consolidate his position within Huayi?" Fatty Lin asked.
"What did you do?"
I looked at Fatty Lin suspiciously, and seeing his smug expression, I knew what was going on. "He wouldn't have offered himself to Little Wang, would he?"
"That's right!"
Fatty Lin clapped his hands and said, "Liu Mingming has been having an affair with Xiao Wang for a long time in order to become the top dog. Deng Xiaojun, seeing that his position was unstable and having offended Qian Xiaogang, followed suit and wanted to have an affair with Xiao Wang too!"
"And then?" I asked.
Long Nier's eyes widened as she awaited the result.
Fatty Lin didn't say anything, but slowly exhaled a smoke ring, showing off for a moment, before saying, "And then, he got kicked off the bed by Little Wang!"
"Kick him off the bed?" Long Nier laughed.
"That's right, he got kicked out of bed!" Fatty Lin nodded and said, "The story has spread throughout Huayi, he's become a laughing stock!"
"Awesome!" I managed to utter those two words after holding it in for a while, and then I burst out laughing.
"Qiao Siyan said that Deng Xiaojun can't hold his head up in Huayi anymore because of this. It's said that his girlfriend encouraged him to do this!" Fatty Lin continued.
"Is his girlfriend Sun Huan?" Long Nier asked.
"Yes, it's her!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Deng Xiaojun offended Qian Xiaogang because she stole the spotlight by announcing her relationship with him at the press conference for 'The Charge'!"
"She's got some nerve, actually letting her boyfriend offer himself to a man!" Long Nier said.
"Nier, that's just how this industry is; how many people are truly clean?"
Fatty Lin flicked his cigarette ash and said, "And besides, do you think Sun Huan is clean? She got to where she is today by being kept by someone!"
"Why do you think Deng Xiaojun dared to publicly announce their relationship? It's because Sun Huan's boss approved. If the boss didn't approve, would they dare to make it public?"
At this point, Fatty Lin sneered and said, "This industry is a cesspool. No matter who you are, if you roll around in it a couple of times, you'll get covered in its stench!"
"At least so far, I haven't seen anyone who has escaped this trend!"
After saying that, Fatty Lin added another sentence.
"Too!"
Long Ni'er pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Even someone as celestial as Bai Yimei is nothing more than someone else's kept woman!"
"Have you forgotten Xiaoxue?" Fatty Lin reminded him.
"I haven't forgotten!" Long Nier shook her head and asked, "How is she now?"
"I heard she's hooked up with Yang Yong, the second-generation heir of Dali Group!" Fatty Lin said.
