Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 185: The Unethical Act as Virtuous (2)

(Solemnly declare that this chapter is purely fictional and does not contain any bad information. Please believe in science, respect metaphysics, and abide by the law.)

At the same time, China was in urgent need of building infrastructure, striving for development and improving the quality of life of the people, and allocated a lot of money for infrastructure construction. Lan Youde was one of those who received the money.

The finances were already tight, and he not only used the country's money to compete with the country for investment, trying to short the country's stock market, but also took kickbacks, taking 70% to 80%. His subordinates saw him making money in this way, and followed suit, and some were even more ruthless than him, daring to directly take 90% and leave 10% for construction.

But they just took the money, and they were not the ones responsible for the construction of a certain project. The little money left was distributed to the engineering team, and the leader of the engineering team took kickbacks, so very little was actually used for construction. It was because of them that there were many shoddy projects in Jiangcheng and Licheng, which killed many people.

However, Lan Youde is very good at whitewashing himself. He used to be a traitor leader, but now he has become a patriot respected by everyone.

You can't see Lan Youde's real deeds on the Internet. There are no negative comments, only positive ones. The most popular videos on the Internet are about Lan Youde setting up a foundation to help children, or him confidently saying in front of foreigners that he is Chinese. He is a patriotic and righteous man, and he has established a very stable character that wins the hearts of the people.

Chinese people believe in "do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you". In short, we pursue fraternity, tolerance, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and empathy. Patriotism is not just about saying it, but about empathizing, connecting your own fate with the fate of this land, feeling her suffering, feeling her happiness, understanding her difficulties, and being willing to be happy with her. Just like truly loving a person, it is not mixed with any interests, only pursuing the attraction of fate and the resonance of the soul, and will not abandon her because of poverty, illness, and the gossip of outsiders, or even join the ranks of being pointed at by thousands of people.

If you love her, you will pity her for everything she is going through, instead of pushing her away like a weed; if you love her, you will take the initiative to understand her past and everything she has experienced; if you love her, you will not leave her even if you know that she has suffered or is suffering, but will love her more deeply.

This is actually the essence of the Chinese spirit, but many Chinese people do not seem to realize it, so people can easily promote a patriot and make him the hope among the people.

For people like Lan Youde, you only need to read two lines of his introduction to know that he is definitely not a marketing persona. When the country was in the most difficult times, he was either investing in China or abroad, or traveling and living abroad for a long time. Those so-called patriotic remarks are just because he sees the good development in recent years and it is profitable.

Lan Youde did more than that. The people of Jiangcheng in Jiangcheng suffered from a high incidence of cancer, which was largely due to Lan Youde's reliance on the Sakura people. At that time, China was in urgent need of foreign investment and development, so Lan Youde helped the Sakura country to deliberately introduce some secondary and tertiary industries, all of which were highly polluting operations, in order to make the people sick and die, destroy the land and make China barren.

These highly polluted wastewater and waste have polluted the air and water sources of Jiangcheng and Yucheng so badly that even the land has become barren, directly harming food security. The reason why there are so many cancers and diseases is because the water and soil there are polluted to the point where it is difficult to purify itself. It is not to support people that they get sick.

Lan Youde is a traitor and even a villain, so he has no concept of being a human being. It doesn't matter who he betrays, who he is loyal to, or who he sells out. Only selfish desires and interests can move him. He is heartless, and he lives up to his shamelessness. He started to cleanse himself decades ago, and almost everyone believed him, so he thought he was the same as his great grandfather, and it was okay.

His family may have educated him about hatred and brainwashed him deeply about the crimes that the Yunjixing family had committed against his great grandfather. After making a lot of investments in Jiangcheng and Licheng, he came to Huacheng to stir up trouble, trying to interfere with the planning and appointment of officials here, and even named and said that he wanted to compete with the Yunjixing family and trample them under his feet.

The Yunjixing family is the natives of Huacheng. They have firmly taken root here a hundred years ago. In modern times, they are already considered the top existence in this city who can call the wind and rain. The locals regard his family as living gods who bring blessings. How can Lan Youde, an outsider, replace them so easily?

As expected, he did not succeed, but he did a lot of disgusting things. At first, he wanted to find someone to kidnap Yun Sizhi (Yun Jixing's aunt). Fortunately, Jiangcheng and Huacheng are a little far apart, and the people there were unwilling to come, so he found the local gangs in Huacheng and wanted them to help him do bad things.

However, Yunjixing's family was well-connected with both black and white gangs at that time, so he did not succeed at that time. The local gangs promptly told Yunjixing's family about this matter. Later, Yun Bianzhi and Yun Wenzhi went to arrest him personally, arrested him, beat him up, and almost beat him to death.

Since their family was no longer the manure carriers, but was now powerful figures in two cities, the two brothers did not beat him to death, but only severely injured him. After the beating, he stayed in the hospital for half a year.

Despite such a serious injury, Lan Youde still did not die. After recovering, he was still strong and energetic, causing trouble everywhere. He was so cruel that he had no bottom line. An old immortal who was on good terms with the Yunjixing family once commented: "This person has long jumped out of the Three Realms. He is neither a human nor a ghost. He has become an evil spirit because of his evil deeds."

Later, there was a saying that the reason why Lan Youde survived such a serious injury was because he killed his three children to keep him alive. It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but he didn't care about anything as long as he lived well.

It is said that he not only killed his sons to prolong his life, but also killed his wives to prolong his wealth. He was a licentious and lustful man. He had seven wives alone, and the number of women he kept outside was countless. The women he found had two things in common: they were beautiful, and they were rich. The purpose of targeting the target with such criteria was to borrow their lives and fortunes. The luck of those girls was borrowed by him, and their physical and mental conditions would become very bad. They would soon run out of luck and slowly die.

Yun Sizhi was arrested for this reason. She had a good fate of great wealth and honor, and with the blessing of being a good person for five generations, Lan Youde took a fancy to her. However, he did not succeed, so he always held a grudge against her.

Later, with the help of Sakura and his friends, he got in touch with some wizards in Southeast Asia. Those wizards were sorcerers who specialized in some extremely evil forbidden techniques, such as life-changing, human sacrifice, black magic, and making lucky beads. They did whatever was evil.

The sorcerer that Lan Youde found later was specifically to deal with Yun Wenzhi and Yun Bianzhi. The two brothers were destined to be rich and powerful and blessed by five generations of good people, so Lan Youde wanted to snatch their lives and exchange them for his own. However, because their family was protected by the old immortal, this evil plan failed again.

The hardships and dangers involved in defeating the sorcerer are difficult to describe in words.

As time passed, the masters of the metaphysics circle passed away one after another, and there were very few people who received the true teachings, or in other words, those who truly learned this skill. The era of the magician's melee finally ended. Lan Youde is now an old man, and he doesn't have the body and energy to do anything. His favorite thing to do now is to look for suitable organs from others, and then try his best to get them to the hospital, and arrange for the hospital staff to do everything they can to replace their organs with his own.
