Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 316 - 314: Searching the Mountain

Wu Tingjue was taken aback by the question.

Since even the police of Dragon Country were willing to trust that old Daoist, what was there for him to doubt?

"Alright, alright, I’m willing to believe in this so-called Immortal Taoist."

"What did he say? Are we sure that creature is near the park?"

Wu Tingjue nodded helplessly.

Du Danmin didn’t answer directly but gave a look to the person beside her.

The person standing next to her, about twenty-five or six years old, was the same young man who had stood behind Director He and Lu Heng.

After catching Du Danmin’s gaze, he nodded knowingly and then spoke: "The high official from Dragon Country asked the old Daoist for his take."

"The old Daoist said that the reason for the body’s abnormality is definitely due to some evil aura."

"Then the old Daoist said that it must be that vampire zombie causing trouble behind the scenes..."

He hadn’t heard everything clearly at the time, but he still managed to relay most of the conversation between the two.

"I see!"

After listening, Wu Tingjue’s expression became somewhat grave.

He looked up at Du Danmin and asked, "Dr. Danmin, what do you plan to do?"

"I want you to deploy troops to help me search the mountain and capture that vampire creature!"

Du Danmin spoke directly to the point.

Hearing this, Wu Tingjue couldn’t help but furrow his brows again.

He looked at Du Danmin, puzzled, and said, "According to common sense, Dr. Danmin, you should go to Chairman Feng, right?"

"Why bypass Chairman Feng and come directly to me?"

Du Danmin let out a cold laugh, sarcastically saying, "Feng Shun is too timid!"

"He can only hide behind those major countries and eat their scraps!"

"Hahaha!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Wu Tingjue couldn’t help but burst into laughter: "I didn’t expect Dr. Danmin to be so crude!"

"Although I also think Chairman Feng is a bit timid, without his order, I can’t deploy troops."

"If you can capture that vampire creature, you’ll become the new master of Koukang!"

Du Danmin said slowly.

"Hmm?"

Wu Tingjue’s eyes widened instantly.

He looked at Du Danmin in disbelief, seemingly not expecting her to offer such a condition.

"Feng Shun is already not young and too timid."

"He is no longer suitable to continue serving as the chairman of the Koukang Special District."

"As long as you cooperate with me and capture that vampire creature, I can ensure that you will succeed him as the new master of Koukang!"

Du Danmin emphasized again, unhurriedly.

Wu Tingjue’s face was full of hesitation, seemingly experiencing an intense internal struggle.

But in the end, it seemed that greed triumphed over reason.

He nodded slightly and said, "Then I congratulate Dr. Danmin in advance on capturing that creature ahead of time!"

"Pleasure working with you!"

Du Danmin’s lips curled up.

A confident smile appeared on her face.

...

As the chairman of the Koukang Economic Special District, Feng Shun not only held political power but also military power.

Without Feng Shun’s orders, the soldiers responsible for guarding the park could not be mobilized, naturally.

Even Wu Tingjue, as Deputy Commander, had no authority to command the soldiers.

But fortunately, he had his private troops.

This time, when he came to the park, he happened to bring along a half-battalion of soldiers.

With an order from Wu Tingjue, these soldiers secretly began to gather under the cover of night.

Once the private troops had assembled, Wu Tingjue asked, "Dr. Danmin, where should we start?"

"Let’s start with West Mountain!"

"We have three to four hours; we must return before dawn."

"I don’t want to alarm other countries’ investigation teams and let them cause trouble!"

Du Danmin responded casually.

"Alright, according to your plan."

Wu Tingjue nodded and ordered the soldiers to cooperate with Du Danmin to start searching the mountain.

Unfortunately, four hours later, the group returned to the park empty-handed.

There was no trace of disappointment on Du Danmin’s face.

The vampire creature was elusive, and she had never expected to find it within a few days.

"If that old Daoist is not wrong, the vampire creature should be near the park."

"And according to our previous mountain search speed, we should be able to search the surrounding forests in about a week."

"This means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to spot that vampire creature within a week..."

Du Danmin calculated as she spoke.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, it’s all up to you!"

"I urgently need to go back and catch up on some sleep now."

Wu Tingjue yawned and said.

Upon hearing, Du Danmin glanced at him and shook her head helplessly.

The private troops continued to station themselves outside the park.

Du Danmin and Wu Tingjue pretended as if nothing had happened and returned to their respective quarters.

In the following three days, investigation teams from various countries also began searching the mountain, looking for signs of the vampire creature.

Du Danmin and others searched the mountain with the group during the day and stayed up all night searching by themselves.

Three days and nights of intensive mountain searching had drained everyone’s energy.

"If we don’t find any trace of that creature tonight, then we should take a two-day break."

Wu Tingjue said, looking fatigued.

He was no longer young; three days of continuous mountain searching had left him more exhausted than ever.

Now, he felt like he could fall asleep immediately if he lay down anywhere randomly.

"No, we must first find that vampire creature to avoid being beaten to it!"

Du Danmin, with dark circles that even makeup couldn’t cover, shook her head vigorously.

"We must rest!"

"If we don’t, my men will be exhausted to death!"

Wu Tingjue retorted with displeasure.

"No way..."

Du Danmin stubbornly shook her head.

Just as their disagreements were growing, someone suddenly said, "I think I’ve found some unusual tracks!"

This statement immediately caught everyone’s attention.

Upon hearing this, Du Danmin and Wu Tingjue set aside their argument for now.

With heightened alertness, they looked in the direction the person indicated, seeing a half-inch deep rectangular shallow pit in the soft soil.

The inside of the pit was very smooth, as if something had pressed it down.

"The size of this..."

"Looks like that coffin!"

Wu Tingjue said, rubbing his chin after observing for a while.

"Are you sure?"

A rare trace of excitement and anticipation appeared on Du Danmin’s usually subdued face.

"It should be!"

Wu Tingjue nodded slightly and added, "There are no extra footprints here."

"Besides that floating coffin, what else could leave such a mark?"

Du Danmin excitedly said, "So that means the vampire creature must have stayed here."

"If we use this as the center, we are certain to find that vampire creature!"

"Yes!"

Wu Tingjue agreed with a nod, his face beaming with a wide smile...
