Chapter 8: The Red Pillar Feng Shui, the Hidden Dragon Vein!

Le Luo sipped his tea, quietly listening to Ren Darong's description. As the story unfolded, Le Luo's tea drinking slowed down, and he finally placed the teacup casually on the coffee table.

Ren Darong tactfully closed his mouth, knowing that the inspector had something to say.

"So, this person does have some real skills! Let him design the Red Pillar Police Station!"

"Yes!"

Ren Darong nodded. After a few hours of interaction, Ren Darong had a good impression of Wang Zhong and was willing to help him.

The plan for the Red Pillar Police Station had long been submitted to the Hong Kong authorities, and the relevant departments had made clear instructions. Most Hong Kong residents who cared about politics were aware of this matter.

However, the Red Pillar Police Station plan was widely reported by the media for one reason only: Wang Zhong, a feng shui master, would serve as the chief designer of the Red Pillar Police Station!

The Red Pillar Prison would become Wang Zhong's masterpiece!

Not only did the feng shui enthusiasts in Hong Kong pay attention, but many foreign designers who had never heard of feng shui were also following the news.

After all, the originally selected designer for the Red Pillar Police Station was Blair from the UK!

Blair was a recipient of the Big Ben Award in the UK, not only having a good relationship with the UK authorities but also enjoying a high reputation in the industry. The fact that the inexperienced newcomer Wang Zhong had taken Blair's case was a significant news story, and both the local media in the UK and professional design magazines provided detailed coverage!

"God, it's insane!"

"Disgrace! A disgrace to the design industry!"

"Is today April Fool's Day?"

"Feng Shui vs. Design"

Sharp editorials placed Wang Zhong in opposition to the entire Western civilization. Feng shui, this ancient Eastern culture, was making its first appearance on the world stage in this form!

Although most Westerners still considered it a backward, ignorant, and almost witchcraft-like culture,

At least, more Westerners knew about this ancient culture.

The media in countries where feng shui culture was prevalent, such as Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore, also extensively reported the matter!

Some newspapers, to attract attention, even labeled it as a victory of ancient Eastern civilization!

As the situation escalated, many Eastern scholars, voluntarily or involuntarily, voiced their opinions.

"The world has many unknowns, especially the mysterious East! —— Malaysian shaman Baba Dula!"

"The I Ching is a complex and rigorous discipline, its greatness surpasses Einstein's theory of relativity —— Japanese top designer and feng shui scholar Okamoto!"

"China has a 5,000-year civilization, how long have you had one? —— Taiwanese professor Zeng Shiqiang!"

Eastern and Western scholars exchanged articles and editorials, attacking and provoking each other. The media, like sharks smelling blood, were in a frenzy.

Whether it was influential newspapers like Ming Pao and Next Magazine or many small local papers, they all went into overdrive, reprinting, reprinting, and reprinting!

Freshly printed newspapers, with the scent of ink, were snapped up as soon as they hit the market!

London media mogul Krim had been in a very good mood for the past few days. Since the East-West debate erupted, the London Daily had already reprinted three times, but still couldn't meet the demand of the citizens.

And for Wang Zhong, who sparked this debate, Krim was genuinely grateful!

"Boss, here is Wang Zhong's detailed information!"

Secretary Barbara placed a report of over ten thousand words on his desk.

Krim, unlike his usual flirtatious self, seriously read through the information!

My God!

This wasn't just information; it was a novel, a story of a self-made hero!

The British have a hero complex, otherwise, Batman wouldn't be so enduring!

Krim suddenly had a great idea: to serialize Wang Zhong's story in the newspaper!

Krim looked excitedly at his secretary, suddenly finding her even more alluring! But let's not delve into their office romance.

The next day, the London Daily published a serialized article on the front page!

Do you know Wang Zhong?

...

Wang Zhong's resume was disclosed for the first time!

Orphaned as a child and living independently, these were not particularly impressive.

But his experiences over the past year were truly remarkable. He wrote the first martial arts novel, "Dragon and Snake Evolution," introducing the various schools of martial arts from an objective perspective, while maintaining entertainment value. The book made him a god, earning him the title of the fifth genius in Hong Kong!

With a family background in martial arts, he became a council member of the Chinese Martial Arts Association and defeated the Thai boxing champion Pongsin in public.

Finally, he debuted as a feng shui master, defeating the Big Ben Award winner and pride of British design, William Brown, to become the designer of the Hong Kong Red Pillar Police Station!

To put it bluntly, Wang Zhong's story is a legend!

And this legend is still ongoing!

The Red Pillar Police Station also gained widespread attention through the reports, as it was crucial to whether the legend would continue.

A tornado is extremely dangerous, one of the most destructive natural disasters.

But experienced people know that the safest place in a tornado is its center, where the wind is surprisingly calm!

Although Wang Zhong had stirred up a storm, his life was surprisingly peaceful. He practiced boxing, wrote, and designed the three-dimensional floor plan of the Red Pillar Police Station every day.

To complete this design, Wang Zhong hired several designers with professional aesthetic skills!

They formed a small design studio!

"Henry, this color won't work, it will conflict with the surrounding layout!"

"Dayou, I need you to create a detailed mechanics diagram. I want this building to withstand an 8.0 magnitude earthquake!"

"Rolan, I need you to provide a cost estimate. I want to ensure the building's cost doesn't exceed the budget. You know, the British are very frugal!"

As the orders were issued, Wang Zhong's design studio became instantly busy.

Don't think Wang Zhong handed all the work to others; he had more important tasks, such as combining the terrain of the Red Pillar area to find the dragon vein's acupoint.

As the saying goes, it takes three years to find the dragon and ten years to pinpoint the acupoint!

Finding the dragon and pinpointing the acupoint requires not only skill but also time and a bit of luck!

After all, the true dragon acupoint is often surrounded by false acupoints, and a slight mistake could result in missing it!

The dragon vein of Hong Kong originates from Fei Mo Mountain, spreading through Yuen Long, Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Tseung Kwan O, and Happy Valley, and then goes underground at Red Pillar.

Due to the underground dragon vein, the Red Pillar area's economy is much worse than other regions.

Throughout history, countless feng shui masters have failed in Red Pillar due to the underground dragon vein!

Wang Zhong followed the dragon vein to this place, but after it went underground, it completely disappeared from his sight. No matter whether he used the Yang Gong method or the Jiang Gong formula, he couldn't find any trace of the true dragon.

Wang Zhong stood at the highest point in Red Pillar, overlooking the entire area. The Red Pillar region, known for its prison, has a small population and few buildings.

But the hidden dragon vein made it feel like there was no place to start!
