Even though we were separated by a phone call, the overwhelming sense of oppression still came through.

The monk on the other end felt a tightness in his heart.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Was he discovered?

That's impossible.

All of his words were prepared in advance, so there should be absolutely no loopholes.

At that moment, the monk's brain was working at full speed.

After repeatedly confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he pretended to be calm and said, "I'm not lying. Everything I said is true."

Jian Ci's tone was grim, "Qin Shizheng is only worth 100 million?"

You should know that the Qin family is one of the four major families in Kyoto.

Even though the Qin family fell from its peak due to the accident two years ago, it is still an aristocratic family after all.

What’s more, he is the fifth master of the Qin family.

He was once the head of this family.

Even if it's not hundreds of billions, it must be worth tens of billions.

Now the monk told her that there were only 100 million?

How is this possible!

After hearing this, the monk finally realized where he had gone wrong.

I just said a number in a hurry, but I didn't expect that the other party would notice it so quickly.

Such keen insight is truly terrifying.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about what would happen to him if the truth of the matter was discovered by the other party.

But he didn't have time to think about these things at the moment. He just reacted quickly and started crying poor. "Boss, the current Black Phantom is nowhere near what it was back then. 100 million is good enough. And with that young master Qin Jiang, even if I offer 10 billion, he can't afford it."

Jian Ci lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something.

Indeed, she forgot that the Black Ghost today is no longer the same as it was two years ago.

The fourth brother has been busy with various things of his own and has not yet gone to talk to him.

When she thought about so many things, she couldn't help feeling annoyed.

The monk on the other end of the phone couldn't help feeling nervous when he saw that she didn't say anything.

He was worried that his excuse would not be convincing to the other party.

Time passed by minute by minute, but he felt as if every second was a year.

The panic he felt made him unable to help but ask, "Boss, Qin Jiang, what are you going to do?"

Jian Ci came back to her senses, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across her beautiful and flamboyant eyes. "Just do what needs to be done. My demands are not high. Just return it intact."

She wanted to see if Qin Jiang was as vigilant as Qin Shizheng.

If he had it too and escaped death for it, then she would have nothing to say.

But if not, don't blame her.

The monk on the other end of the room relaxed a little after hearing this, and immediately said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you."

After the call ended, Jian Ci threw the phone into the drawer.

Just as he closed the drawer and turned around, he suddenly stopped.

wrong.

Where did Qin Jiang get the one hundred million?

She remembered that when Qin Jiang met her for dinner and chat, he was still doing his internship in his senior year. Even as the eldest son of the Qin family, it was impossible for him to have such a large cash flow.

Could it be that the entire Qin family's main branch is behind this?

Jian Ci's face suddenly turned gloomy, and her half-closed eyes hid a hint of cruelty.

So she decisively took out her computer and decided to investigate it herself.

As a result of the investigation, Jian Ci discovered that other people in the Qin family's main branch had no contact with the black ghost, only Qin Jiang had frequent contact with the black ghost.

Could this really be an order placed by Qin Jiang personally?

Just because of the engagement farce half a year ago?

Jian Ci always felt that this reason was too far-fetched.

To be on the safe side, she couldn't help but focus her investigation on Qin Jiang.

After checking, she found that something seemed to be wrong.

The time when Qin Jiang came into contact with the black ghost did not seem to be what the monk said.

Tsk.

This is very interesting.

Jian Ci's long eyelashes covered the cold and murderous look in her eyes.

Then his ten fingers began tapping quickly on the keyboard again.

In the end, I even forgot to eat dinner.

This made the two men downstairs mistakenly believe that she didn't come downstairs because she was unhappy about the old man's matter.

So the two of them quickly ate a few bites of the meal and called it a day.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Boyan brought a bowl of noodle soup upstairs.

At this time, Jian Ci was sitting in front of the computer. The screen was full of surveillance screenshots of Qin Jiang's recent whereabouts and who he met with.

When she heard a knock on the door, she pressed the screen casually, then stood up and opened the door.

Seeing Lu Boyan standing at the door, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Big Brother?"

Seeing that she was calm, Lu Boyan handed her the plate and said gently, "I see you haven't had dinner yet, so I'll bring you something to fill your stomach."

When Jian Ci saw the bowl of steaming hot noodle soup, she subconsciously glanced at the sky outside the window, only to find that it was dark outside.

So I casually said, "I was just taking a nap and didn't pay attention to the time."

Lu Boyan's eyes darkened slightly. "Why are you so sleepy? Did you not sleep well last night?"

He knew very well that Jane Ci had no habit of taking naps.

The only time I would take a nap was when I was weak after I got sick. Later, after I got the medicine specially prescribed by my master to help me fall asleep at night, I never took a nap again.

Now that she took naps so frequently, Lu Boyan couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

Jian Ci also reacted at this time and said again: "No, I just talked about work with Assistant Li, and I'm a little tired."

When Lu Boyan heard it was about work, his expression softened slightly and he handed the plate over again. "Then eat something and get some rest."

Jian Ci then took it and thanked him, "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother."

Then he planned to turn around and go back to his room.

But unexpectedly, Lu Boyan said, "Tomorrow when you give grandpa acupuncture, I can help."

He thought it would be better for grandpa to wake up earlier.

Jian Ci has to go to school and work at the same time, which is really tiring.

As she had just recovered from a serious illness less than half a year ago, the first thing she had to do was to take good care of her body.

Jian Ci raised her eyebrows, thinking that Lu Boyan was here to stare at her, so she said, "No need, I can handle this little thing myself."

Lu Boyan knew that she was worried that he would secretly stop her, so he didn't explain much. He thought that she would definitely find out when he helped her tomorrow, so he just reminded her again: "After eating, go to bed early and don't stay up too late."

Then he left.

Jian Ci returned to the room with the noodles.

Just as I sat down and was about to eat noodles, there was a knock on the door again.

“Knock knock knock—”

Jian Ci thought that Lu Boyan had returned and wanted to tell her something, so she put down her chopsticks and went to open the door.

"What's wrong, Master..."

Before she could finish her words, her eyes met Qin Shizheng's.
