Chapter 232: Chapter 230: Master’s Phone Call

After listening to Lu Heng’s account, everyone understood.

Zhao didn’t run away because he found out his girlfriend was pregnant and went clubbing. He was deceived by his high school classmate to go to Southeast Asia.

No wonder Zhou and Xiaomeng couldn’t reach him.

Even his parents couldn’t contact him.

If they could contact him, that would be a miracle!

“So he’s been tricked into going to Southeast Asia all along!”

“No wonder the Taoist said his situation was not good at the scene. Going to a place known for organ trafficking doesn’t end well!”

“I bet Zhao never imagined that the high school classmate he trusted would be a scammer!”

“It’s no wonder Zhao fell for it. The company’s paperwork was all in order. Who would have thought it was a scam?”

“This kind of scam, under the guise of company outings, is the hardest to prevent! Everything seems legitimate, and then they use the excuse of team-building to go on a trip to Southeast Asia. It’s hard not to fall for it!”

“Hard to prevent? It’s practically impossible to guard against!”

“Just don’t go on team-building trips, problem solved!”

“Ha! Travel, study, volunteering, business trips—there are plenty of excuses.”

“Seeking advice: how can we avoid such companies? Or if we’re already in such a company, how can we avoid being trafficked?”

“Any activities or team-building that involve going abroad, just refuse to participate.”

“Domestic scams at least only want money, but abroad, they really want your organs!”

“I had a friend who went to Southeast Asia hoping to get rich. I tried to dissuade him all morning, but he wouldn’t listen. After he left, there hasn’t been a word from him.”

“People like that, even if there was a chance to get rich, it wouldn’t be their turn. They have no self-awareness at all!”

“Anyone who believes in such things is probably already bewitched! They often think they have nothing to lose, but they forget that their lives are valuable too.”

“What about Zhao? Even if we report it to the police, they still might not be able to rescue him!”

“How could it be done? It’s another country. Our police have no jurisdiction there.”

“Sigh! We can only wait for Zhao to call back and see if we can save him by paying a ransom.”

Seeing the discussions among the stream viewers, Xiaomeng’s heart sank to the depths.

She previously thought her boyfriend had run away leaving her.

Unexpectedly, her boyfriend had been tricked into going to Southeast Asia.

If something happens to him, what will happen to her and the child?

Suddenly, various worries surged in her heart, and tears fell once more.

Even Zhou couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.

She had seen many tragic outcomes of people who were deceived into going to Southeast Asia online, such as being electrocuted, beaten, assaulted, etc.

It’s safe to say that even committing suicide there is a luxury.

Zhao was tricked into going there. How could he be saved?

“Taoist, do you have a way to save Xiaomeng’s boyfriend?”

Zhou racked her brain but couldn’t think of any good ideas.

Desperately, she asked Lu Heng for help.

Lu Heng shook his head slightly at her words.

With Zhao far away in Southeast Asia, what could he do?

Unless he was truly an Immortal!

“Then… let’s report to the police first!”

Seeing this, Zhou could only sigh helplessly.

“Taoist, thank you for your help tonight.”

“Xiaomeng and I will go to the police.”

“I hope we can rescue her boyfriend soon…”

She and her best friend stood up together, bowed to Lu Heng, and then disconnected from the live stream.

Seeing the two girls disappear from the live room, viewers were full of emotions.

“Zhao is really a good man, but unfortunately, he wasn’t lucky!”

“Do you think Xiaomeng will wait for Zhao to come back?”

“Doubtful! Pregnant, with a big belly, still went clubbing—it’s hard to figure her out.”

“Pregnant clubbing, that’s outrageous!”

“Zhou is pretty good, very level-headed. I’m thinking of getting her contact information.”

“What for? Don’t hit on my wife!”

“Guys, I recently came across some job listings saying it’s a workplace opportunity that requires training for about half a month somewhere in the Southwest before going to work in the Southeast Asia region. Is this also about recruitment scams?”

“I don’t know! Anyway, when hearing about going to the Southeast Asia region, for whatever reason, it’s best not to go.”

“I suggest skipping directly; nine out of ten times, it’s for trafficking!”

“Last month, I found a job as an online customer service agent. Later, I felt something wasn’t right and left early. I noticed that in the company’s team-building album, most were Southeast Asian countries, and they kept recruiting people.”

“Everyone, let’s be cautious!”

“Seems like staying a homebody, never going anywhere, really doesn’t burden my parents and relatives…”

Not just the viewers, even Lu Heng felt a bit emotional.

Zhao is really not a bad person, but unfortunately, he trusted the wrong person.

Who knows what awaits him tomorrow?

“Tonight, both lucky viewers have finished.”

“So, tonight’s broadcast will conclude here.”

“I hope to see you all again in the next live stream…”

After saying this, Lu Heng ended the live stream and left the live room.

Then, he slowly got up and walked out of the dilapidated house, looking up at the bright moon.

Should he go and save those poor people like Zhao who were deceived?

If he goes, it would likely require a full plan.

After all, it’s nowhere near as peaceful as in Dragon Country over there.

Even if he has cultivation to protect himself, it wouldn’t stop a bullet.

“It needs careful planning; can’t act rashly!”

With a gentle sigh, Lu Heng returned to the dilapidated house.

He habitually took out a Spiritual Qi Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and quickly entered into a cultivation state.

The next morning, he slowly opened his eyes to the sun.

“Find a place for breakfast!”

After freshening up a bit, Lu Heng continued heading west, found a breakfast shop, and had a local breakfast.

Just as he was leaving the breakfast shop, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Taking out the phone, he saw it was a call from his master!

Not daring to delay, he quickly pressed the answer button.

“Qingfeng, where are you and Taoist Zhenyuan now?”

On the phone was the long-unheard voice of his master, Xuan Cheng.

“Master, Taoist and I just reached the border of Chudong Province.”

Lu Heng didn’t have anything to hide and told his master the location directly.

“Qingfeng, the reason I called is about Qingyue…”

Speaking, Master Xuan Cheng briefly explained the matter.

After listening, Lu Heng nodded repeatedly and then hung up the phone.

“Looks like I have to change my itinerary next!”

He muttered to himself.

The matter his master mentioned was quite simple.

His little sister-disciple Qingyue wanted to see her biological mother after learning about her situation.

So, the master sent Qingming and Qingling down the mountain to take their little sister-disciple to meet her mother, Yan Ya…
