I Have A Dual World Seal

Lin Wan: @Luo Yun, do you still keep in touch with Luo Liang?

Lin Wan: We just arrested a suspect involved in a fraud case today. He confessed that Luo Liang and Dong Jun were his peers and had trained with him overseas!

Lin Wan: Did he ask you to invest with him!

...

Luo Yun: No way!?

Luo Yun: He said he has insider information and can make money; he earned his millions this way!

...

Huang Xiumin: He's scamming you! Trying to get you to mortgage your property!

Su Mengmeng: You didn't agree to it, did you?

Huang Xiumin: Quickly! Contact him! Ask where he is, and we'll go there now!

...

Luo Yun: Can't reach him!

Luo Yun: I agreed to it; I invested three million with him!

Lin Wan: Add me as a friend, let's talk over the phone!

...

Lu Zheng smacked his lips, recalling that those two handsome male models indeed had similarities with Lin Jingnan today.

Back then, he thought Luo Yun was clear-headed, but who knew she'd be scammed out of three million in a blink of an eye.

Lu Zheng put down the phone, stopping himself from calling Lin Wan.

If Lin Wan needs help, like in the kidnapping case before, she'd naturally reach out to him, so he needed to trust her professionalism and judgment and refrain from pointing out issues.

He waited the whole night and never got Lin Wan's call.

But the next morning, Luo Yun reported a success in the group.

Luo Yun: Thank you @Lin Wan and @Huang Xiumin, we caught the person.

Luo Yun: T^T

Su Mengmeng: @Luo Yun, don't be sad, everything will get better.

Su Mengmeng: Let's gather over the weekend.

Luo Yun: Okay, everyone come; I need to thank Sister Wan and Sister Xiumin! @everyone

Lin Wan: No problem, let's meet over the weekend.

Huang Xiumin: Don't worry, we'll help you teach him a lesson!

Lu Zheng also sent a comforting emoji in the group, signaling he'd join over the weekend.

...

As noon approached, Lu Zheng received Lin Wan's call, and then went to meet her at the city's station entrance, followed by a lunch with another off-duty colleague, Huang Xiumin.

"How did you catch him? Can I ask?"

"We caught the person, and the evidence is solid, so no problem sharing." Lin Wan shook her head and said.

"Thinking of it, Luo Liang ran directly, which slightly relates to you guys." Huang Xiumin laughed.

Lu Zheng, curious, asked, "How so?"

"It's naturally because of that viral video of the top-ranked policewoman tackling a thief barehanded." Huang Xiumin laughed, "Luo Liang stumbled upon the video, recognized Lin Jingnan and Lin Wan, foresaw danger, and fled directly.

We initially found Dong Jun, then let Dong Jun contact Luo Liang, performed technical analysis to locate him, and finally arrested him at 5 AM."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Dong Jun?"

He remembered this guy, who once had an interest in Lin Wan.

"This guy is somewhat timid and hasn't been involved in the industry. Now he's attached to a wealthy woman and living comfortably, so he was quick to cooperate with us."

Lu Zheng: (°ー°〃)

Lin Wan nodded, "Later, through Luo Liang's maneuvering, we withdrew 2.4 million from his account on that website.

Luckily, he wanted to swindle more from Luo Yun and hadn't touched the money."

"Wasn't it three million?"

"The website's server is abroad, and only 80% could be retrieved."

Lu Zheng frowned, "Can't trace it?"

Lin Wan nodded, very helpless, "International money laundering techniques are beyond your imagination, truly untraceable."

Huang Xiumin said, "Haven't you seen it in movies? Every day, hundreds of billions of US dollars in dirty money flow through countless accounts worldwide, entirely untraceable."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Impressive! Terrifying!"

Now he himself is not exactly short of money, but if needed, he guessed ten strands of Light of Fortune would be enough to make him influential in the realm of global black money?

He planned to note it down in the notebook later, lest he forgets.

...

"Junior Brother!"

"Senior Brother Yuan Jing!" Lu Zheng greeted Yuan Jing into the house, asking Uncle Li to serve tea, "Senior Brother, you've had a hard journey."

Yuan Jing shook his head, "Not hard, just running errands spreading the news, and I even went to Pingtan County with the Anomaly Suppression Bureau crew."

"Oh?" Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "Did you go to look for that Rat Demon?"

Yuan Jing nodded, "It's a nest of rat demons, nearly twenty of them."

"So many!" Lu Zheng was taken aback.

"Several among them have decent cultivation, and that Elder Lady Yi has nearly two hundred years of Dao practice," Yuan Jing said, "No wonder she aimed to establish a sect in the Southern Border; she indeed has her backing."

"What about them..."

"Naturally, they were annihilated by the Anomaly Suppression Bureau," Yuan Jing curled his lip, "A measly nest of rat demons should have behaved, but they dared to collude with the Southern Border Wizard, and thus met their rightful end."

Lu Zheng nodded, thinking the Anomaly Suppression Bureau is indeed formidable. This little BOSS ranked just below the Ye Lan King was eliminated before even showing up.

"And that Southern Border Wizard..."

"That's why I came to find you," Yuan Jing frowned and said, "That nest of rat demons did not know the whereabouts of that Southern Border Wizard; they only said the wizard would come to find them again.

In this way, the Southern Border Wizard is still unseen, and judging from the transactions with the nest of rat demons, this person should still be within Yizhou's territory, possibly contacting other demons.

So, Junior Brother, when you walk around the county, keep an eye out, and if you notice anything, promptly report to the County Government Office; they'll be able to contact the Yizhou Anomaly Suppression Bureau."

"I will bear it in mind." Lu Zheng nodded solemnly; this Southern Border Wizard who dares to stealthily infiltrate the enemy's territory and trade with demons of two hundred years of Dao practices is certainly not weak himself.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yuan Jing put down the cup, stood up, and said, "Alright, I'm leaving."

"It's getting late, Brother, stay for the night and leave tomorrow." Lu Zheng tried to retain him.

"No need, it's quieter to sleep at the temple," Yuan Jing shook his head and added, "By the way, besides reporting to the County Government Office, remember to inform your brother here at the White Cloud Temple. I've lived for thirty years and have never seen a Southern Border Wizard in person."

Lu Zheng laughed and nodded, "Alright!"

He escorted Yuan Jing to the door and happened to meet Elder Liu and Liu Qingyan returning home.

"Uncle Li, Qingyan." Lu Zheng introduced, "This is my senior brother, Daoist Yuan Jing."

"Brother, this is Uncle Li, and this is Qingyan, the doctor's family I mentioned before; they live next door."

"Greetings, Daoist Yuan Jing!" Elder Liu and Liu Qingyan quickly clasped their hands in salute.

"Infinite Celestial Venerable, pleasure to meet you, Doctor Liu and Miss Liu," Yuan Jing placed his hands at his chest and saluted in return.

After meeting each other, Lu Zheng bade farewell to the Liu family father and daughter, escorting Yuan Jing to the entrance of Tongyi Lane.

"Alright, Junior Brother, you need not see me off further." Yuan Jing nodded to Lu Zheng and then turned around to leave.

...

In the following week, Lu Zheng's life in Tonglin County became a routine.

He got up in the morning to practice a set of punches, wielded a saber, and danced with a sword. After breakfast, he went with Liu Qingyan to Renxin Hall to consult patients. He had lunch prepared by Madam Liu at noon, and when Hu Zhou came to help in the afternoon, he went home to cultivate.

Of course, it might truly be cultivation or perhaps returning to modern times.

As for keeping an eye on the county?

Don't kid; when the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. Yuan Jing has a sense of curiosity, but Lu Zheng had no intention of seeing the Southern Border Wizard.

Wouldn't that be looking for trouble?

Thus, Lu Zheng even stopped his favorite activity of listening to stories at Leping Building daily, and whenever Sweet Shop needed restocking, Stone was sent to fetch it from Tongyi Lane.

"Staying in for ten days or half a month should see no problems; the Anomaly Suppression Bureau isn't idle and wouldn't allow an Exotic Realm expert to hide for long," thought Lu Zheng as he skillfully diagnosed and prescribed for patients.

Elder Liu clicked his tongue in wonder, "Lu Lang, you truly have a knack for medicine. Medical skills are challenging, varying from person to person. Even cultivators don't find it easy to learn, yet you, in such a short time, diagnose and prescribe with hardly any errors! Truly remarkable!"

Lu Zheng grinned and said, "It's mainly because the teacher is good."

On the other side, Liu Qingyan, with a smile on her lips, withdrew a silver needle from an old woman's hand, "Granny, how do you feel now?"

The old woman moved her wrist with a face full of surprise, "It really doesn't hurt anymore!"

"You still shouldn't move it lightly for the time being," Liu Qingyan smiled, "When you get home, soak a cloth in hot water and apply it as a compress. It will be fine by tomorrow."

"Thank you! Thank you, Doctor Liu!" The old woman repeatedly expressed her gratitude, paid five copper coins, and then left, beaming with happiness.

Liu Qingyan glanced at Lu Zheng, collected the five copper coins, and proceeded to treat the next patient.

...

Speaking of which, accepting money for small ailments was at Lu Zheng's strong insistence.

Previously, in situations similar to the old woman's, where no medication was needed and it was just a simple treatment, Liu Qingyan did not charge. She reasoned it was merely a minor help, easily done.

However, Lu Zheng compared it to other medical practices and insisted that Liu Qingyan should charge at least a little.

If her excellent medical skills drew business away from other medical practices because of her high skills, that was her competence. They were not as skilled, but if she didn't charge for minor ailments, it would disrupt the market and ruin businesses.

The saying goes: save the emergency, not the poor; giving a peck of rice results in grace, while giving a sack of rice results in resentment. These are sayings with truths within.

Once people get used to your charity, gratitude disappears, and the desire for more increases, leading to greed and demands.

The common folk are not saints.

Then Lu Zheng shared stories like "a good person doing good all their life but falling for one mistake, while a bad person doing bad all their life yet being praised for one good deed."

When Liu Qingyan was convinced, he let her collect the fees herself.

Liu Qingyan was initially embarrassed, but gradually she adapted, and would only charge less if the patient was truly impoverished.

To Liu Qingyan's surprise, this action did not bring her any negative consequences but instead elevated her reputation, with more grateful citizens.

It took Liu Qingyan a long time to comprehend this matter, and she looked at Lu Zheng with eyes filled with awe.

"Lu Lang, I have read many storybooks too, but most of them extol kindness and selflessness; regarding recognizing people's hearts and minds, I'm far less adept than you!"

Lu Zheng sneered, "Storybooks are full of worldly beauty, with everyone living happily ever after. Such stories are meant for reading; whoever believes them is the real fool."

Ah...why does it suddenly feel awkward?

Yet after this event, Liu Qingyan seemed to mature, handling needles and medicine, interacting with others, all in an organized manner, knowing when to advance and retreat.
