Chapter 220: Hibiscus in Clear Water

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“The Five Thunder Edict wields thunderous power, commanding officials to assist the Hundred Spirits.”

As Lu Miao performed her movements, she chanted an incantation. Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the previously clear sky.

The green smoke rising from the burning incense in the jade cauldron shot up in a straight line, while the surrounding chess pieces seemed to be held in place by an invisible force, their flags stiffly standing.

“With the decree of the true symbol, the Thunder God is advised, to cease the rolling clouds and rain in haste. Let the Mother of Rain bring forth showers like ropes, as the Diamond Fire Mountain abides by the law.”

Boom! Thunder continued to rumble as lightning strikes consecutively. Clouds gathered from all directions, covering the sun above their heads.

As Lu Miao uttered the final word of her incantation, a roaring sound echoed through the sky. A dazzling golden dragon formed by beams of golden light burst forth from the tip of the peach wood sword, circling briefly above the control tower before roaring and soaring into the clouds.

Everything around them instantly fell into silence.

Lu Miao looked up at the sky above, and Fu Jingchen beside her followed her gaze, his expression solemn. Time seemed to stretch infinitely in these crucial moments.

He didn’t know what Lu Miao had done or what she was waiting for, but at this critical juncture of his grandfather’s life and death, he chose without hesitation to believe in her.

It could have been five minutes or even ten or fifteen. Then, a dragon’s roar pierced the sky, and the dark clouds shrouding the top of their heads were pierced by a burst of golden light.

Golden light scattered, fierce winds blew, thunder resounded, and large raindrops the size of beans suddenly fell from the sky, followed by a downpour pouring like a torrent.

Lu Miao swiftly gathered the items on the ground and then ran into the elevator with Fu Jingchen, seeking shelter in the attic.

As they watched the torrential rain pouring outside, their faces carried an uncommon seriousness. “I diverted the thunderstorm from over there to here.

I’m not sure what problem occurred on the plane, but this is all I can do to help. The rest is up to them.”

The challenges encountered by Grandfather Fu were not limited to the adverse external weather conditions but also potentially existing issues within the aircraft itself. It could be a malfunction of a component or even someone on board causing trouble. These were matters beyond her reach, thousands of kilometers away.

Just as Lu Miao finished speaking, a ringing came from Fu Jingchen’s pocket.

He took out his phone and answered the call. Excitement filled the receiver. “Young Master Fu, according to the latest data from the meteorological department, the thunderstorm over where your grandfather is suddenly dissipated. The radar has captured the airplane’s signal, and we are making efforts to contact the crew.”

“Understood.” Fu Jingchen ended the call and sincerely thanked Lu Miao.

“Thank you. You’ve done so much already. The crew members were carefully selected by me, and I believe they have the capability to handle the situation themselves.”

Compared to the plane’s inherent issues, he was more concerned about the massive impact of the external thunderstorm on the aircraft. When Su family’s interference prevented the rescue effort, he had already prepared himself to personally undertake the rescue mission, no matter the circumstances.

In his most desperate moment, it was Lu Miao who stepped forward to solve the most challenging problem. Regardless of the final outcome, Lu Miao was their family’s lifesaver.

Seeing Lu Miao soaked in her clothes, he said, “Let me take you to the restroom downstairs to freshen up.”

Lu Miao nodded, and the two of them descended the stairs together. After arranging her in the VIP lounge, Fu Jingchen had a new set of clothes delivered to her. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡

Then, they headed back to the command center in the control tower.

After about half an hour, Fu Jingchen excitedly knocked on the door of the lounge.

Lu Miao had just opened the door when Fu Jingchen immediately embraced her tightly.

“Lu Miao, thank you. Really, thank you. Grandfather’s private plane has landed safely and is on its way to the capital. It should arrive around six o’clock in the evening.”

Lu Miao almost choked, hastily patting his arm to signal him to let go.

“Fu Jingchen, are you afraid that I’ll make you pay the bill, so you want to strangle me to avoid paying?” she teased.

Fu Jingchen gave her a tight squeeze before laughing and releasing her.

“All of Three Eyes’ shares are now yours. I will work for you for free for the rest of my life.”

Having Fu Jingchen work for her for free was something that the entire nation wouldn’t dare to dream of.

However, Lu Miao had only been joking with him. Old Master Fu had done many good deeds for the country and was a respected leader admired by the people. Being able to help him was the least she could do for her country. With a serious expression, she asked, “What happened with the plane?”

“One of the accompanying staff members sabotaged the plane’s signal and communication devices, causing the signal to disappear and making it impossible to contact the control tower. The person has been secretly detained and is being interrogated. It seems to be related to certain forces in the capital.” Fu Jingchen’s face darkened.

Lu Miao nodded. “As long as Old Master Fu is safe.”

As for these matters, she couldn’t involve herself and refrained from making further comments.

“Oh, by the way, Grandfather said he wants to see you. He has already reserved a spot at Jin Yu Man Tang. We’ll go there together later,” Fu Jingchen said.

Jin Yu Man Tang was a place specially used for state banquets, which indicated Old Master Fu’s significance in this meeting.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Miao replied, “Okay.”

With the matter finally settled, Fu Jingchen’s tense nerves finally relaxed completely.

He then noticed that Lu Miao must have just taken a shower as her hair was still damp.

Her jet-black hair cascaded down her back, with glistening water droplets trickling down her locks and converging into small pools at her delicate collarbone.

Her usually pale complexion was likely due to the steam, as a slight blush graced both sides of her cheeks.

She looked as fresh and enchanting as a lotus emerging from clear water, shedding a bit of her usual coldness and revealing a touch of the loveliness befitting her age.

Fu Jingchen couldn’t imagine that such a beautiful and delicate body held such immense power.

Changing the weather was something even the meteorological department couldn’t accomplish, yet she had done it.

“You know, have you ever considered joining the Bureau of Special Affairs? Would you accept the Director’s position?” he asked.

Recruiting talent like her was a missed opportunity. It was a shame.

Lu Miao took a step back with a resounding thud as she firmly shut the door, rejecting his suggestion through actions.

Later in the evening, Lu Miao and Fu Jingchen went together to Jin Yu Man Tang to meet Old Master Fu.

Old Master Fu already knew what she had done behind the scenes and personally expressed his gratitude to her.

“This is the second time you’ve saved me,” he said.

“I merely did what I could. Old Master Fu, please don’t worry about it,” Lu Miao replied directly.

Her low-key and humble attitude, combined with her extraordinary abilities, made one wish she were their own child.

Grandfather Fu smiled and said, “Miao Miao, let’s exchange WeChat IDs.” Lu Miao blinked, surprised that Old Master Fu used WeChat.

She took out her phone and opened her QR code, which Old Master Fu scanned. A friend request was quickly sent.

After dinner, Old Master Fu immediately ushered Fu Jingchen out and had a private conversation with Lu Miao in the private room for an hour before she left.

No one knew what they talked about.

Upon returning to the hotel, she called Lu Yinan.

The club’s work had been mostly arranged on Lu Yinan’s end. After confirming the time, they booked their flight back to Luo City for the next day..
