37: Chapter 37, "The Eye of Penetration," is absolutely amazing!
8:00 PM.
Luo Wei arrived near the Honghai Bridge.
He found a spot to park his car, then walked to the foot of the bridge and looked ahead.
The Honghai Bridge was one kilometer long; fortunately, the bridge was straight rather than winding.
Although visibility was low at night, Luo Wei's eyesight was excellent, and he could see everything on the bridge at a glance.
It was currently the evening rush hour, and the flow of vehicles on the bridge was constant, while the non-motorized lanes on both sides were packed with electric bikes.
Luo Wei stepped onto the bridge's sidewalk, observing the various pedestrians and vehicles on both sides.
Although he didn't know Lin Wantang and didn't know what she looked like...
...if someone made a move like jumping off the bridge...
...that person would likely be Lin Wantang!
As Luo Wei was walking on the bridge, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
His glamorous Female Superior sent him a WeChat message; once again, she directly sent a hotel location.
Shen Yanqiu had been worn out these past few nights, yet she actually sought him out every single night!
Of course, Luo Wei didn't mind trysting with her, but he couldn't leave right now.
“I'm busy with something right now. I'll see if I have time later.”
“Okay.” Shen Yanqiu's reply was short and sweet.
Since Luo Wei was busy, she was naturally very understanding and didn't say anything more.
Just as he was about to put his phone away, his younger sister Luo Xiyao also sent a WeChat message.
“Big brother, Honghai City has been so chaotic lately. You must stay safe!”
His sister's concern made Luo Wei's heart feel warm.
He smiled and reminded his sister to be careful as well.
Over the next while...
...Luo Wei acted just like an idle loiterer.
He walked from one end of the Honghai Bridge to the other.
Then back again.
People came and went on the bridge, but Lin Wantang was nowhere to be seen.
Bored, Luo Wei couldn't help but open the intelligence system.
Currently, he had accumulated 9 intelligence points.
He had originally wanted to save up his intelligence points to buy magical items from the system shop.
Now, feeling restless, he decided to spend 1 intelligence point to buy a Blind Box and test his luck!
No sooner said than done; after paying the intelligence point, a Blind Box covered in question marks floated in the air.
Although people were passing by, no one could see that magical Blind Box.
Rubbing his hands together, Luo Wei took a deep breath and growled, “Open!”
Instantly, the Blind Box opened, bursting with a dazzling light!
After the light faded, a pair of tightly closed eyes actually appeared in the air.
When those eyes slowly opened, Luo Wei felt a burning sensation in both of his own eyes.
He panicked slightly and quickly closed his eyes!
He had no idea what was going on.
Once the burning sensation vanished, a system notification sounded in his ear.
【Congratulations, you have obtained the Eye of Thoroughness】
What was the Eye of Thoroughness?
What was it used for?
Luo Wei slowly opened his eyes.
In the next second, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
On the crowded bridge, everyone—men, women, old, and young—appeared to be dressed very lightly!
Luo Wei blinked in surprise, and the passersby's clothes returned to normal, as if it had just been an illusion.
He blinked again, and the Eye of Thoroughness successfully activated!
Looking at the vehicles on the bridge...
...Luo Wei could see through the car bodies to see how many people were inside and exactly what they were doing.
Looking at the skyscrapers by the river, the buildings seemed to become translucent; he could see various desks, chairs, and office equipment inside, and people appearing to float high in the air.
This situation was like playing a game where, due to insufficient hardware performance, the buildings failed to load in immediately!
It had to be said, the Eye of Thoroughness was truly awesome!
This was an ability that countless people dreamed of!
He had really hit the jackpot this time!
Now, Luo Wei no longer felt bored.
Walking along the Honghai Bridge, he specifically looked at women with graceful figures.
Some were the real deal, some were deceptive, and some were very wild!
After watching for a full ten minutes, his eyes gradually grew tired.
Luo Wei quickly blinked to deactivate the Eye of Thoroughness.
It seemed that using the superpower for a long time caused fatigue.
After resting for a while...
...Luo Wei couldn't resist using this heaven-defying ability again!
After all, since ancient times, peeking at others in secret has always been a very satisfying thing!
Not long after he started observing, a woman with an incredibly stunning figure appeared in his line of sight.
Of all the people Luo Wei had observed so far, her figure was the hottest and most perfect.
But that wasn't the point; inside her handbag was an item resembling the Jade Pure Vase held by Guanyin, and that little bottle was actually emitting a faint glow.
He felt that the little bottle was anything but ordinary, though he didn't know what it was.
Just as Luo Wei was wondering...
...the woman suddenly stopped.
She leaned against the railing and looked down at the river water below.
It was only then that Luo Wei noticed her quiet and beautiful oval face was clouded with deep sorrow.
She seemed to be making up her mind to leap from the bridge.
Holy crap!
Luo Wei was startled as he remembered something!
He hadn't come to the Honghai Bridge to look at beautiful women.
He was here to stop a woman named Lin Wantang from committing suicide!
He quickly deactivated the Eye of Thoroughness and walked toward the woman.
At this moment, the oval-faced woman was already climbing the guardrail.
“Lin Wantang!” Luo Wei shouted at her.
Instantly, the oval-faced woman stopped her movements and looked at Luo Wei in confusion.
She didn't recognize Luo Wei and was trying hard to remember who he was.
Sure enough, the oval-faced woman was Lin Wantang!
Luo Wei walked up to her quickly.
“What happened?”
“Why do you look so haggard?”
Facing Luo Wei's questions, Lin Wantang's eyes reddened, and she couldn't help but want to cry.
She moved her lips, wanting to explain, but then thought that saying anything would be useless.
She gave a self-deprecating smile and shook her head at Luo Wei. “It's nothing...”
She planned to wait for this handsome man in front of her to leave before continuing with her plan.
“You're not thinking of jumping off the bridge, are you?” Luo Wei directly pointed out Lin Wantang's intention.
He glanced down at the river. “It's dozens of meters down to the water from here.”
“Falling onto the water from this height is no different from hitting concrete.”
“Besides, drowning is a terrifying and drawn-out process...”
Lin Wantang lowered her head, feeling at a loss now that her plan had been seen through.
“What exactly happened to you?” Luo Wei continued to ask.
“If you tell me, maybe I can help you!”
“Did you know? Back in school, I always had a crush on you!”
Luo Wei lied casually and took the opportunity to grab Lin Wantang's slightly cold hand.
Lin Wantang instinctively struggled but couldn't break free; she looked up to study Luo Wei's handsome face once again.
Unfortunately, she couldn't for the life of her remember what this person's name was.
“Let's go!” Luo Wei pulled her forward without allowing any argument.
“Let's go grab some milk tea or coffee and have a good chat!”
Lin Wantang's plan had been disrupted, and she was somewhat resistant.
But Luo Wei was extremely forceful, pulling her away from the bridge...
