"Um?"

Xu Xinxin looked up suddenly: "How much?"

Good guy, you didn’t even ask about the content of the job.

But this also shows that she is really short of money.

"How much were your previous salaries at the Adjudication Bureau?"

"Eight... ten thousand."

"If you don't tell the truth, I won't admit it."

"Eight thousand, eight thousand. After deducting taxes and insurance, I can get about six thousand seven hundred." Xu Xinxin rubbed her hands embarrassedly.

"Okay, then I'll give you double the pay. Come work for our company." Chu Yao casually decided, "There's not much you need to do. I might need a measuring instrument in the future, and it would be convenient for me to have professionals like you."

Since Chen Yu doesn't care about these former subordinates anymore, it's okay for me to poach some of them, right?

"!!!" Xu Xinxin's breathing stagnated, her heart seemed to skip a beat, and she trembled as she held Chu Yao's hand. "Miss Chu, you are my benefactor! From today on, Xinxin is yours!"

"No need to be so corny... Wait a minute, I'll give you our vice president's Fetion message, you can contact her later..."

Xu Xinxin stood at attention: "Any time, any place, Detective Xinxin will handle the case for you!"

Hiss, why does it seem like I’ve recruited another fire-type character?

Chu Yao was still complaining in her heart, but Xu Xinxin's eyes were already filled with tears.

What is opportunity? This is opportunity!

Just as she was about to say something more to express her gratitude, a team member's voice came from not far away:

"Captain! Something's happening on the west side!"

The two looked at each other and hurried over there.

About a hundred meters away from the hotel, a young-looking team member was scanning the sidewalk with a measuring instrument on his back, and the screen of the backpack was flashing with light.

"The spiritual energy value is about 12% of the second level. Not only is there no decline, but there are also signs of increase." The young man reported to Xu Xinxin.

"Mr. Chu, what should we do next?" Xu Xinxin changed the subject very quickly.

Hearing Xinxin's words, the young man seemed a little confused and kept looking between the two of them.

Xu Xinxin leaned close to the young man's face and whispered something. The young man's body trembled, and when he looked at Chu Yao again, he had a flattering smile on his face.

"Just as I expected."

Chu Yao's brain was spinning rapidly.

This unknown monk really revealed his true identity when he left!

Twelve percent of the second level... Does that mean this is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Chu Yao couldn't help but take a few more glances at the psychic energy meter behind the young man.

This thing is really useful. It seems that hiring them into the company was the right decision. As long as they are kept away from core secrets, it will be fine.

"Search in this direction until you find no more traces."

As Chu Yao gave the order, they began to head towards the west side of the hotel.

The sun was setting, and the group of people left their shadows on the ground in the sunset.

They walked almost across a block, and about three kilometers away from the hotel, the psychic fluctuations finally dissipated, and no matter how hard they searched, there was no trace of it.

There were no buildings nearby, only a dual-use gas station not far away. Chu Yao's spiritual sense even scanned the underground, but still couldn't find any place nearby where someone could hide.

The clue seems to end here.

"If you're looking for someone," Xu Xinxin interjected, "perhaps we could try checking the gas station's surveillance footage. But the gas station here is now part of Steel Dome's property, so I wonder if the people there would agree."

Xu Xinxin's suggestion reminded Chu Yao that this was the only way to do it now.

As for whether the people inside agree or not...even if they don't agree, they have to agree to me!

Time is passing by every second. If no clues are found today, Qiao Si will only become more and more dangerous.

Chu Yao had already prepared for the worst in her heart, but it was not the time to give up easily.

"You guys should go back first. Xiaoran has sent you a Feixin message. Just wait for her to tell you when to report."

"Okay, Mr. Chu, I understand, Mr. Chu." Xu Xinxin nodded rapidly and left with a group of people.

After they left, Chu Yao walked straight towards the gas station.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found the location of the monitoring room. After using a few tricks, he came to the wall of screens silently.

Under Chu Yao's magic control, the security guard in the monitoring room retrieved the video footage of the day Qiao Si disappeared.

The speed of a Jindan cultivator's spiritual sense reading is many times faster than that of an ordinary person. Chu Yao took in everything that happened that night without needing to slow down the video.

A gray van caught her attention. It had been parked on the street across from the gas station, inconspicuous in the dark.

At 9:20 in the evening, she observed a group of people coming from a distance, some of them carrying bulky sacks on their shoulders, crowding into the van and driving away.

Not one person, but a group of people?

The distance was quite far and she couldn't see the license plate clearly, but that didn't bother her.

Chu Yao captured this video and sent it to Xiao Huo:

"Help me track down this car's whereabouts two days ago. Quickly."

"You're sure to find me work. I haven't found a buyer for that big, shiny tumor of yours yet."

"I'll take care of all the snacks for next month."

"Only next month?"

"That's two months. Don't be so mean, don't be anxious."

"Deal!" Su Huohuo replied happily.

Xiaohuo's computer and network skills have been "cultivated" to a terrifying level. With the help of Cat's Eye, it is more than enough for him to find a car.

In less than twenty minutes, a map showing the car's route was sent to Chu Yao's mobile phone.

"The last stop was probably outside of Injustice City, north of Liberty City. This van is really capable, having almost crossed half of the Third Continent. Do you need any other assistance?"

"Can you confirm the exact location of the parking lot?"

"It's a bit difficult. It's a suburban area, so there aren't many surveillance cameras. I can also hack into the dashcams of some other cars on the road, but that takes time."

"Got it. Thank you."

"Don't just say thank you, don't forget my snacks!"

The conversation between the two ended with an emoticon package sent by Xiaohuo.

Chu Yao retreated from the gas station. Seeing no one around, she put the motorcycle into the storage bag and jumped up. She didn't want to waste time.

It was getting dark and night was falling over the city.

She used a secret method to conceal the aura she displayed during her flight, and transformed into a black shadow under the cover of darkness, speeding between the tall buildings.

The current escape speed is naturally much different from that of the foundation-building stage.

Chu Yao did not move along the flight track, but walked directly in a straight line in the sky. When she encountered an obstacle, she would turn a small corner, which shortened her travel time by several percent.

A familiar building came into view again, it was the statue of a celestial being.
