It is impossible to beat Yuan Muyang, as private fighting is prohibited in Qingwei Mountain.
Lu Yu stared at the task list without blinking, trying to find a crew with a similar address, but to no avail - this production team actually found an ancient castle in the deep mountains and forests!
Not to mention the nearby film crews, you might not even find a living person within half an hour's journey from the castle.
Lu Yu went to find Yuan Muyang with the sword in hand, but found that Master's Wife Xu Wanhui was also in the ward. She greeted him briefly: "Hello, Master's Wife, I came to talk to Yuan Muyang about something."
"Okay, you guys talk." Xu Wanhui gave them some private space, and just as she went out, she ran into three people who were standing in a row at the door, their ears pressed close, ready to eavesdrop.
Xu Wanhui: “…”
The next second, Lu Yu placed the scabbard against Yuan Muyang's chest and said, "Junior brother, you're still seriously injured. You might not be able to complete such a heavy task properly. Why don't you just lie back down on the hospital bed?"
Yuan Muyang: "..."
On that day, the whole mountain was spreading a piece of gossip that two talented people from Qingwei Mountain were fighting over a basic task.
Everyone was curious about how tempting this basic task was that could make the two big guys compete to this extent.
In the end, it was Yu Yue who saved Yuan Muyang. She got the latest inside information: "Geng Yiyi has a play that will start filming soon, and the location is in the ancient capital Yuancheng."
People in this industry are somewhat superstitious, and some crews will ask them to perform rituals before filming starts, to bless the crew to have a smooth filming.
As soon as she released the news, all the recent film and television drama orders in Yuancheng were contracted by the Shiyu sisters, Yuan Muyang and Yu Yue.
Bai Ningning was puzzled when she saw how eager they were to snatch the missions: "Is it really that serious?"
"What do you know?" Yu Yue spoke subconsciously, then realized that something was wrong, but she didn't have the habit of apologizing.
Yu Yue wanted to brush off the previous sentence and gestured exaggeratedly to Bai Ningning: "If we follow the orders that Uncle Lu Yu and Uncle Yuan Muyang are fighting over, we will probably get a lot of rewards. And that's Geng Yiyi. If she is a ghost or an evil spirit, she must have a treasure that hides her aura. If we can get it..."
"Ningning, come here." Xu Wanhui suddenly called Bai Ningning and pulled her into the ward. She closed the door before speaking, "There's a special task that's not included in the quota. The program team wants to find a master who can be on camera to be a guest on the show to escort them."
Bai Ningning subconsciously refused: "Ah? But I'm not a master."
Yuan Muyang on the hospital bed and Lu Yu beside the bed were also stunned. They couldn't understand why Xu Wanhui suddenly opened a back door for Bai Ningning.
Lu Yu's sword was pointed at your son's neck! She was clearly the one vying for this mission, what does it have to do with Bai Ningning?
Lu Yu was curious: "Isn't it possible for me?"
Xu Wanhui rolled her eyes: "Do you think Taohuasha is stupid and has no defense against you?"
Lu Yu: “…”
Xu Wanhui became friendly again and continued to seduce Bai Ningning: "If you are willing to record the show, there will be additional compensation. The starting price for a trial recording is six figures. And there will be other fellow disciples watching you from the sidelines."
Bai Ningning was shamefully moved.
Xu Wanhui said, "This amount is too little for others. They don't like it, and the variety show has a live broadcast time slot... In short, for them, the money is too little and the work is too much, so I asked if you are willing to consider it. If not, I will refuse them."
Thinking of the Peach Blossom Demon's sharpness, Lu Yu urged Bai Ningning, "Go ahead. No one else can handle this mission. She ran away the moment she got close. You haven't opened your spiritual sense yet, so you're no different from an ordinary person. You're a perfect candidate to infiltrate the inner circle."
Xu Wanhui also said, "And it's quite easy to earn points. Peach Blossom Demon only feeds on the emotions of the opposite sex and isn't interested in you."
Lu Yu continued to tempt: "If this goes through, I'll owe you a favor."
Bai Ningning couldn't stand their pleading and nodded with difficulty: "Okay."
Xu Wanhui patted Yuan Muyang's shoulder: "The Peach Blossom Evil is a bit dangerous, be careful to protect Ningning."
Bai Ningning: “……?”
That's not what you just said!
When Bai Ningning returned to her room, she saw a pile of dead insects flying around the room.
She said expressionlessly, "Qinghuai, stop messing around and sweep all the dirt out."
Qing Huai was so angry that he wanted to smear all the insects and ants on her face, but his ghost spirit did not listen to him and only listened to Bai Ningning. She was like a hardworking snail girl, sweeping all the garbage in her house into the trash can, sealing the garbage bag and throwing it out the door.
Bai Ningning nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, remember to put on a new garbage bag."
“…”
Qing Huai was so angry that he gritted his teeth and got back into the knife without saying a word.
But a wisp of his ghostly spirit stubbornly put a garbage bag over the trash can before slowly going back into the knife - although the master was sulking awkwardly, the order given by the master's master should still be completed well.
Bai Ningning raised her eyebrows in delight, and even the ugly black knife seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye.
It’s really nice to have a sword spirit, and she’s so virtuous.
The next day, Bai Ningning followed Lu Shi to Beiyang City.
Lu Shixian went to Ninghua Finance to deal with the compensation issue for the glass, while Bai Ningning found a newsstand and bought a map of Beiyang City. She wanted Ma Juan to help her circle their residential address, but Ma Juan was too weak to pick up any physical objects or hold a pen.
Bai Ningning put the knife on her leg and sat in the convenience store waiting for Lu Shi to finish his work and pick her up. She also asked Lu Shi to communicate with Ma Juan. She wanted to at least know the address of Ma Juan's home so that she could look for clues about Ma Juan's daughter.
"Sister Juan, if..." Before she could finish her words, she saw a miniature, translucent ghost slowly floating out of the hairpin on the table in front of her - it looked exactly like Ma Juan.
Bai Ningning was caught off guard and was frightened so much that she trembled and almost fell off the chair.
"Sir? Do you need any help?" the clerk asked kindly when he saw how noisy she was.
Bai Ningning quickly sat down and waved her hands: "It's okay, sorry, I didn't sit still..."
She pretended nothing had happened, sat upright and observed for a while, making sure that the people coming and going outside the window and the people in the store could not see the ghost body of Ma Juan in her hand.
What happened? She suddenly could see ghosts?
Bai Ningning quickly took out a map and spread it out on the table. Grabbing a pen, she whispered, "Sister Juan, hurry up and tell me the address. Tell me everything you know about your home address."
She was afraid that this ability was as unstable as the barrage, and might disappear in a moment. She had to ask for the address she needed while she could still see and hear.
Ma Juan pointed to a villa area in the upper left corner of the map: "There's one here."
Bai Ningning circled the place she pointed and said, "Report the specific house number. I can remember it."
Ma Juan: "No. 19 Lianhuafang."
Bai Ningning: "Where's the house number?"
Ma Juan: "This is a single-family villa."
Bai Ningning was a little embarrassed, but she raced against time and said, "Go on, you can speak faster, I can remember it."
Cheng Jingwu has a lot of properties under his name. Ma Juan couldn't remember the specific house numbers of some places, so she just circled the approximate communities.
Bai Ningning circled the house numbers she couldn't remember with dotted lines, and the addresses she could confirm were circled with solid lines.
After Bai Ningning drew 17 circles, Ma Juan said, "That's probably all for this city. There are more in other cities..."
Bai Ningning: “?!”
This must be a very wealthy company, a deputy general manager can actually afford so many apartments.
Bai Ningning muttered softly, "I don't know if he pays taxes. I have a feeling his income is not legitimate..."
Lu Shi was discussing compensation with Chu Hanzhou.
Chu Hanzhou is only 29 years old this year. At such a young age, he has made it onto the rich list as a rising star in technology finance.
Lu Shi is young but has a lot of experience. He is used to meeting all kinds of people, but he still feels pressured when facing him.
He seemed to have a strange sense of oppression about him.
Chu Hanzhou flipped through the photo that Lu Shi handed over to him. It was a formation that was discovered under the floor in the company.
Lu Shi showed him the evidence he had collected: "This is the formation hidden in the office, as well as the various ghost-summoning props found in your company. This proves that there is a mole in your company. I suggest a thorough investigation."
Chu Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, his expression calm and composed. "It seems like a conspiracy against our company. I heard from an employee that one of your team members looks very similar to me. Is that a coincidence?"
Lu Shi guessed he was talking about Bai Ningning, but pretended to be slightly surprised: "Oh? Really? Maybe your employees saw it wrongly. I don't think there is anyone who looks like you."
Lu Shi quietly observed Chu Hanzhou's expression and even began to suspect whether this was a trap he had prepared for Bai Ningning.
Qingwei Mountain kept the matter of Bai Ningning's natural spirit body quite secret, and not many people knew about it, but she couldn't guarantee whether there was a traitor in Qingwei Mountain.
This incident was such a coincidence. It happened that when Bai Ningning enrolled in school, Ninghua Finance was haunted; and this haunted ghost happened to haunt Bai Ningning; and then a company leader with similar features to Bai Ningning appeared - it was as if he had planned to attack Bai Ningning in advance.
If she guessed correctly, this person in charge would find ways to meet Bai Ningning, and then use the similarities between their features to get closer and trick Bai Ningning into letting down her guard.
Ninghua Finance's ghost-gathering formation may be a self-directed act.
"Maybe she saw it wrongly."
Chu Hanzhou didn't dwell on the issue and got straight to the point. "Several surveillance cameras in the company were damaged. We're responsible for the damage ourselves, and we don't need to pay for the glass. But could you help us thoroughly investigate if there's anything hidden in the company that could attract ghosts?"
He heard from Chu Yuyan that Lu Shi was good at spells and formations, and the value of asking her to conduct a thorough investigation for the company out of favor would far outweigh the losses.
Lu Shi: "If Mr. Chu is willing to show sincerity."
Chu Hanzhou smiled slightly: "We can discuss the terms. Do you need to draft a contract?"
Lu Shi: "No, we just need all the companies under Mr. Chu's name to express their friendship to Qingwei Mountain."
Chu Hanzhou agreed readily: "Of course."
Lu Shi needed to stay in Ninghua Finance for half a day longer, but she was worried about letting Bai Ningning go upstairs with her - after all, Chu Hanzhou was suspected of having his eyes on her.
Lu Shi called Bai Ningning and asked her to go back to the hotel first.
Bai Ningning asked, "I want to go to Sister Juan's house. Is that okay? I'll send you the location when I get there."
Lu Shi: "Did you find the address?"
Bai Ningning: "I originally wanted you to ask my sister Juan for me, but she just pointed it out to me. I don't know if it's because it's close to Ninghua Finance... I still have a talisman with me, and Cheng Jingwu isn't so crazy as to raise a ghost in his house, so it should be fine."
Lu Shi laughed crisply, teasing her intentionally: "Oh? Why?"
Bai Ningning spoke clearly, "He found Peach Blossom Demon as his lover. I've checked her information. Peach Blossom Demon is also picky and prefers purer relationships. She definitely won't tolerate him raising a ghost at home. If she gets into danger, I'll call you immediately."
Lu Shi: "You still have some brains. Go ahead and be careful."
"Okay."
Bai Ningning hung up the phone and looked down at the circles and dots on the map. Suddenly, she pointed at the Lotus Square Villa in the upper left corner and asked Ma Juan, "I saw you were the first one to report the address here. Is it because you like it?"
Ma Juan shook her head: "No, he basically didn't discuss the house purchase with me. It's just that this one is easier to remember and it's closer to me."
Bai Ningning pondered, "This place isn't in the school district, nor is it suitable for commuting. This villa is halfway up the mountain, next to an abandoned amusement park that's been in disrepair for a long time, so the scenery and property aren't great either. It doesn't make sense to buy a house here. Most properties in other places are built to cover up these two locations."
"Two?" Ma Juan was puzzled.
Bai Ningning tapped a mark in the lower right corner of the map. "This place, Xingfu Jiayuan, is symmetrical across the river from it. It's also not in the school district and not suitable for commuting. Of all his properties in the city, these are the only two that are symmetrical, so I find it suspicious."
Hearing about school district housing, Ma Juan lowered her eyes, was silent for a moment, and asked, "I know this is a bit presumptuous, but could you please do me a favor? My two sons are taking the college entrance examination this year. Their grades are not good, and I am a little worried that they won't be able to go to university... Cheng Jingwu is a bastard, he deserves his retribution, but my two sons are innocent..."
Bai Ningning listened silently, but had some guesses in her mind.
Ma Juan said that their grades were not good and she was worried that they would not be able to go to college, but the company's public mailbox clearly stated that Cheng Jingwu had been showing off his sons' grades recently, and it was said that both of them scored more than 600 points.
In the underground parking lot of Ninghua Finance, Chu Hanzhou's face darkened after he got into the car. He took out his phone and dialed Chu Yuyan's number: "You're right. Qingwei Mountain keeps her very close."
The other party was surprised: "You haven't seen this? It's right in front of you."
Chu Hanzhou ignored his provocation and continued, "I checked the surveillance footage. There's no high-definition footage of her face, but she does look a bit like the third brother. I can't ask any more questions, as it might alert the enemy. Please keep this in mind when making your arrangements."
"Okay, first spread the ghosts evenly among the crews. Once I'm sure she's in, I'll throw the third child into her crew. What do you think?"
Chu Hanzhou: "?"
Why do you say it like sprinkling seasoning...
