Komo also knew that, according to his master, he had good physique and would soon be able to reach level four in physical skills.

But he still couldn't help wanting to become stronger faster, because only by becoming stronger could his grandfather be safer.

Only then can he do whatever he wants without being restricted by anyone.

Ke Zheng'an knew what he was thinking and tried to comfort him.

"Mo'er, don't be impatient. You need to persevere and work hard to succeed in everything you do."

"Besides, aren't we much more hopeful about our lives now than before?"

They were once abandoned in this small courtyard to fend for themselves, with no future in sight.

He only thought about raising his grandson to adulthood, but in his disheartened state, he neglected his education.

This caused the dark thoughts in his mind to gradually grow stronger.

Fortunately, Shen Mu Ning's arrival saved them.

Not only did they cure his hidden ailment, but they also taught Komo martial arts and resolved the conflict between the grandfather and grandson.

As long as the grandson follows Shen Mu Ning, who is exceptionally skilled in both medicine and martial arts, his future achievements will be immeasurable.

For such a bright future, perseverance and the ability to endure loneliness are the most basic requirements.

Now that Komo is getting stronger every day, their condition is much better than before.

After hearing this, Komo could only obediently nod.

He decided in his heart that he would practice physical skills more in the future and strive to reach the fourth level of physical skills as soon as possible.

"Alright, that's all for today. You guys go to Cao Jin's place and lay low for a while."

"I'm taking these two people with me. You can come back tomorrow."

With Como's physical training resolved, the next thing to do is deal with the two people lying on the ground.

"Oh? Okay, we'll leave right away."

Ke Zheng'an had some doubts, such as what these people did and how she should treat these two people.

But he realized that Shen Mu Ning wouldn't tell them, so he immediately agreed.

He planned to tidy up the things in the house, take some food, and then leave.

"Master, why do we insist on staying at Cao Jin's place for the night?"

Komoko didn't share his grandfather's awareness and didn't ask why.

"They might search the area again this afternoon. I can't look after you right now, so you should go out and hide for a while."

"Once things are resolved tomorrow, I can naturally come back to live here."

Although she could blur those people's memories of the grandfather and grandson, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't remember them again.

They will definitely be hurt when she's not around.

After hearing her explanation, the Ke family grandfather and grandson quickly packed their things and left.

With only Shen Mu Ning left in the courtyard, she could naturally use her mental power without any worries.

So she altered their memories in the same way as before, making them only remember that Deng Kai had asked them to look for clues nearby.

They blurred their memories of the Ke family grandfather and grandson, and then took them to the courtyard where they kept their antiques.

They were both made to lean against the wall, and the same method was used to administer the antidote to them.

After that, she swaggered away and went to an address that Chu Mingxu had given her earlier.

Looking at the small courtyard in front of her, Shen Mu Ning thought to herself: No wonder she comes from a prominent family.

Even when he's down on his luck, he's still far more capable than the average person.

Although such a small courtyard is not valuable, it would require a great deal of connections for someone with inside information to be able to buy it.

Her expression was so clear that Chu Mingxu, who opened the door after hearing the knock, immediately explained.

“This courtyard belongs to a friend of mine. It’s quiet around here, with few people passing by, making it a good place to discuss business.”

This courtyard doesn't actually belong to him; it was bought by Cheng Hao to settle down.

Since he came to the Johor Bahru brigade, he has been given a set of keys so he can come and stay anytime.

So it's no different from it being his.

Shen Mu Ning remained noncommittal. In any case, she thought that he knew many big shots in the military, and even some of the founding generals might have hugged him.

If they can summon military personnel even without concrete evidence, this little courtyard is really nothing special.

"Please come in and sit down. It's almost noon, so we'll make something to eat here and wait for Uncle Yan and the others to arrive."

"How long will it take your Uncle Yan and the others? And what are his authority levels?"

This was something Shen Mu Ning was quite concerned about, as it determined how far they could investigate.

Logically, once the case is handed over to the military, they probably won't be able to get involved anymore.

If we take the clues she gives us and only find some low-level thugs, while the higher-ups are still hiding...

She might as well keep Deng Kai and Qian Zhuang around for now and figure out how to investigate them herself when she's in hibernation.

"Uncle Yan is the commander of the Jilin Provincial Military Sub-district. He can handle anything within Jilin Province."

Chu Mingxu thought Shen Mu Ning was afraid that the people he found couldn't handle the matter.

Since they were going to meet soon anyway, he figured he could tell her the situation first.

But what I want to say is, haven't you ever thought about who would want to collect so many antiques?

"Furthermore, his strategy might be something we never even considered."

It's worth noting that they started collecting antiques in 1969.

Over the years, I don't know how much I've collected.

This is something that ordinary collectors would never do.

The key is Qian Zhuang, who is a professional assassin who specializes in killing high-ranking officials and even generals.

Targeted elimination of certain individuals is not a simple matter.

These two groups belong to the same organization, so this cannot be treated as a simple case of trafficking in cultural relics.

Originally, according to Shen Mu Ning's previous plan, she could have investigated step by step and slowly moved up the ranks.

She could use her mental powers to know all the information in their minds.

If you give her just a thread, she can figure out the truth of everything.

However, once the military gets involved, she can't participate in the subsequent events.

Their interrogation skills are probably quite formidable, but they should be able to withstand a professionally trained interrogator.

If that's the case, they might not even know the truth, and they might even alert the enemy.

Chu Mingxu sensed that Shen Mu Ning was hiding something from him.

But for some reason, I didn't tell him.

So he sat down on the stool next to her and asked her seriously.

"Shen Mu Ning, you must tell me anything else you know."

"You just asked me about Uncle Yan's authority because you were afraid someone would stop us?"

Although Chu Mingxu understood Shen Mu Ning's hesitation, she did need to think about whether or not to tell him.

So she looked at him seriously, "Chu Mingxu, didn't we say we were going to cook? Let's discuss it after we eat?"

She knew that if they only investigated Deng Kai's side of the trail, they would only find people who were reselling cultural relics.

Then the clues from Qian Zhuang's side are useless.

However, she knew very little about Qian Zhuang's situation and needed to think carefully about how to address it.

Moreover, Chu Mingxu knew that this information was useless; he could only wait for what the man said.
