Chapter 245 Heaven's Punishment

Wang Shiyie was furious when he heard his son's nonsense.

"Is that what you call pursuing happiness? I think you're just lusting after her body!

Don't I know what kind of person you are? You only have three minutes of passion for everything you do.

It's the same with women, you get tired of them after a few days and throw them away like worn-out clothes!"

"Dad, how can you think of me like that? I'm wronged, this is a timeless injustice!"

"Let's not talk about that. By the way, why is there 300 million missing from your account?

What did you do with that money?"

"Well, a few friends had a way to get rich and wanted to start a business, so they asked me to support them.

I felt I couldn't refuse..."

"Alright, then I'll see in six months how much profit this 300 million of yours can bring!

You might not have the ability, but you can't lack vision!"

"Yes, Father!"

Wang Mingrui secretly stuck out his tongue and let out a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to gloss over the situation using a method he had thought about for a long time.

Outside the window, lightning flashed, and a torrential downpour began. In this season, it was common for it to rain in Jiangzhou.

It was late at night when a ghostly figure, braving the heavy rain, quietly approached the villa.

The figure was wearing a black raincoat, a hood over their head, and a Grim Reaper mask from Halloween.

This person was none other than Ling Tian. Ling Tian had obtained intelligence from Yan Yu Ge, learning that the Wang father and son would be gathering at the villa today, so Ling Tian had come to pay them a visit!

The reason Ling Tian wasn't wearing his green fish-head mask today was primarily to avoid risk.

After returning and pondering, Ling Tian quickly figured out why the Bai and Jin families suspected he might be the green fish-head person.

Both families had been attacked by the green fish-head person, and coincidentally, both families had offended Ling Tian. This made it impossible for them not to connect the dots.

And this time, the Wang family was added to the list!

Wang Mingrui's attempt to have Ling Tian assassinated had failed, but the enmity had been forged, and it was a deadly one!

If he were to continue wearing the green fish-head mask, even the slowest person would realize the connection between these three incidents.

Therefore, Ling Tian had actually changed his mask this time. In fact, his spiritual mirror space contained dozens of different masks and head coverings.

Ling Tian also felt he couldn't let this go. Why should the son of the richest man be able to lord over him!

Just then, Yan Yu Ge delivered the intelligence on the Wang family, and Ling Tian decided to take matters into his own hands!

The torrential rain severely reduced visibility, rendering all cameras and other surveillance devices useless. The three-meter-high wall surrounding the residential area was easily scaled by Ling Tian with a single leap!

Ling Tian approached the vicinity of the Wang family's villa. He hid in a dark corner, constantly observing the area.

Soon, Ling Tian discovered that the villa was also heavily guarded.

On the surface, there were two bodyguards patrolling back and forth in the yard.

Despite the pouring rain soaking them, the bodyguards, clad in raincoats, showed no signs of slacking.

This was a testament to the saying that the richer people are, the more afraid of death they are. It seemed this father and son were quite fearful.

However, Ling Tian did not intend to act personally and expose himself.

With a raise of his hand, three talismans floated out.

These three talismans were Yin Lei Talismans. During the process of creating these talismans, Ling Tian had divided a single talisman into several parts.

Infusing internal energy into these three Yin Lei Talismans, they silently flew out and began to circle above the house.

The rain continued to pour, and the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to gather, with no telling when they would pass.

No one noticed that the winds and clouds above the villa had been stirred.

Even the vigilant bodyguards didn't notice the changes happening around them.

Only two of the bodyguards felt a slight tingling sensation on their skin, their hair standing on end!

A few minutes later, thunderclouds churned above the villa, and then, a lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket directly struck the villa!

Inside the villa, Wang Mingrui was lecturing his son at length.

He recalled how difficult it had been for him to start his business, this and that...

Wang Mingrui had heard his father talk about these things since he was a child, to the point where his ears were almost calloused.

Just as he was becoming impatient, there was a sudden loud bang, and both father and son lost consciousness.

A few minutes later, Wang Mingrui woke up from his dazed state.

As the cold rain poured on him, he saw that the roof of his luxurious villa was gone!

Hundreds of meters away, Ling Tian watched his masterpiece from the shadows, very satisfied.

He had used several Yin Lei Talismans in combination to achieve the effect of a Lei Yin Talisman.

Although this method was slower and took time to take effect compared to directly using a Lei Yin Talisman, its advantage lay in its concealment.

After all, using a Lei Yin Talisman required igniting the talisman, and on a rainy night, a sudden fireball would surely make anyone suspicious.

However, a Lei Yin Talisman was much more discreet. It didn't need to be ignited like other talismans.

Moreover, even if an activated Yin Lei Talisman were discovered, it would appear as something like ball lightning, which was not uncommon in rainy weather!

Tens of minutes later, ambulances and fire trucks arrived one after another, taking the Wang father and son and other staff members in the villa to the hospital.

As the saying goes, good deeds don't go beyond the door, but bad deeds travel a thousand miles.

The next day, the news of Wang Shiyie, the former richest man in China, being struck by lightning immediately exploded online, with this news dominating the headlines of almost all websites.

Although the scene had been strictly cordoned off, the resourceful reporters still managed to obtain photos from hundreds of meters away.

The two photos on the news front page were one of the Wang family villa before the incident, and the other was taken by a reporter using a drone that morning.

The Wang family villa had been reduced to ruins, a scene that could not be described as anything less than tragic. Such scenes were common in some war-torn regions abroad.

Despite being struck by lightning to this extent, none of the more than a dozen people inside the house died, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

The matter was far from over. Soon, public opinion on the internet began to ferment, with one voice suggesting that the Wang father and son must have committed so many wicked deeds to be struck by lightning from heaven.

These people also presented solid evidence. In addition to the things the Wang father and son had done, they pointed out that the Guanhai Haoting residential area was designed with lightning protection in mind.

However, the facilities originally intended for lightning protection had become antennas that attracted lightning!

It was clear that there was something sinister at play here.
