As soon as Mingzhuo turned on his phone after the plane landed, he saw a text message.
She had just finished replying to the message when her phone rang.
"Hello, Miss Ruan! I'm Xiao Lu. Mr. Gu sent me to pick you up. The hotel and dinner have been arranged."
This person was waiting at the arrivals area. He had excellent eyesight and spotted Mingzhuo immediately, greeting him warmly.
The car was a comfortable and spacious luxury business van, with more than enough room for several people; the service was exceptionally attentive.
Mingzhuo lowered his head and texted Ruan Mingying and Ruan's mother to let them know he was safe, then made a phone call to Xu Shanglou.
"Brother-in-law, we've arrived. There's no need to arrange for anyone to pick us up. Ah Xu has everything arranged, including food and lodging."
Xu Shanglou: "…………"
His native language is speechlessness.
This brother-in-law is so inconspicuous; every time he tries to make a good impression, Gu Xu always beats him to it.
Since it was Gu Xu who arranged it, he had nothing to worry about. He only told Ming Zhuo to be careful and to contact him immediately if anything happened, and that he could mobilize local manpower to help her.
After Mingzhuo hung up the phone, Xiao Lu handed him a document of investigation materials. "Mr. Gu asked me to give this to you."
These materials were just urgently mobilized. The electronic version was sent to Mingzhuo, while the paper version was printed out by Xiao Lu and brought over.
One document is an investigation into Chu Yuqi's background, and the other is an introduction to the Bai family of the Xuanmen sect.
He Wangyao couldn't help but sigh, "A-Xu is so thoughtful and considerate."
The members of the Bai family of the Xuanmen sect were even accompanied by photos, so that they could at least know who they were and not be completely clueless.
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the hotel.
Dinner was arranged at a restaurant next to the hotel. We had reserved a private room and ordered the dishes in advance. As soon as we arrived, the food was served, and the waiter even came in with the menu to let us add dishes.
This was clearly arranged in advance by Gu Xu, and most of the dishes were ones that Ming Zhuo liked, taking into account the tastes of several people. It can be said that Gu Xu was very thoughtful and considerate.
The hotel room was a superior executive room, clean, tidy, and comfortable, with a style that Mingzhuo liked and had been thoughtfully arranged.
Mingzhuo thought for a moment, then opened his phone and sent Gu Xu a text message to express his gratitude.
There was no response from the other side; he was still on the plane and had not yet landed.
Although the person hadn't landed yet, everything had been arranged in advance.
"Ah Xu is such a nice person," Ming Zhuo remarked.
He Wangyao: "I always thought A-Xu was the domineering CEO type, cold and ruthless. But now it seems that A-Xu is actually gentle, meticulous, considerate and thoughtful. Can you imagine that he, a busy company CEO, can still wear a Buddhist robe and perform a ritual! There is really nothing he can't do."
Mingzhuo thought for a moment and quietly asked, "Do you have any photos of Axu performing a dojo?"
He Wangyao: "...No."
Is he out of his mind to secretly film Ah-Xu?
Mingzhuo was slightly disappointed that he didn't get to see Axu wearing his monastic robes.
Li Wenhe tapped the coffee table, drawing everyone's attention back to the present. "Let's discuss how to investigate the Bai family tomorrow."
He took out Chu Yuqi's report and said, "Mr. Gu has already investigated and found out that Chu Yuqi's background is indeed problematic."
Chu Yuqi's biological mother used to work in another city, and then returned to Yunwu City while heavily pregnant.
The relatives were shocked because they didn't see the man and worried that she had been deceived. They wanted to persuade her to have an abortion.
The matter was only resolved when Chu Yuqi's current father stepped forward and claimed the child was his, and the two quickly registered their marriage.
However, according to the information Gu Xu found, during the time when the two were with Chu Yuqi, one was on a business trip in the south and the other was working in the north, and they had no contact at all.
Chu Yuqi is not the child of the father he has now.
Li Wenhe frowned slightly as he looked at the documents.
“A year ago, when Chu Yuqi started to make a name for herself on Butterfly Live by live-streaming fortune telling, a middle-aged man appeared by her side and was very attentive to her.”
He handed the photo to Mingzhuo and said, "She came into contact with many people during her mission. Take a look and see if this person has any issues."
The photos are screenshots from surveillance cameras, so the clarity is limited and the facial details are somewhat distorted.
Mingzhuo didn't see anything wrong either; he just looked like an ordinary person. "Let's make a note of it. If Axu thinks there's a problem, then there's probably one."
She shared Gu Xu's view: if he were just an ordinary client, there was no need to be so attentive to Chu Yuqi, even carrying her luggage.
The two of them together make it seem like they're master and servant.
Mingzhuo flipped through the Bai family's information again. The Bai family of the Xuanmen has been passed down for more than a hundred years. The current head of the family is Bai Lingzhi, the daughter of Elder Bai Tingtao. She is a rare female head of a Xuanmen family.
The Bai family has always been active in the north, and is a large family with many branches.
Bai Ling, the evil cultivator who once infiltrated the Xia family to deal with Xia Siru, was actually from one of the Bai family's branches.
However, Bai Ling was expelled from the Bai family many years ago. It is said that she was discovered to be wicked and using evil magic to harm people, and was expelled from the Bai family on the spot after being discovered.
"It seems that the Bai family has a rather strict family tradition," Mingzhuo commented.
He Wangyao: "Jiang Shengying even calls himself the leader of the righteous sects, but in the end he's still colluding with evil forces behind the scenes."
Jiang Yunli had no intention of hiding his family's dirty laundry.
Upon returning to Hong Kong, he vigorously purged Jiang Shengying's influence and uncovered some old cases.
For example, his grandmother married Jiang Shengying at the age of sixteen and was murdered by evil means at the age of nineteen, her death was tragic.
My grandmother's family became wealthy early on and were listed on the Hong Kong Rich List. At the time, many people said that they had done too many immoral things when they became rich, and this was the retribution that fell on their daughter.
Jiang Shengying gained sympathy by taking advantage of his wife's death, and also took the opportunity to expand his business by helping his wife's family to exorcise evil spirits, thus acquiring considerable assets and rising to fame in the circle of the wealthy.
He knew his wife had been murdered, but because he was a beneficiary of the situation, he chose to keep it a secret.
He then facilitated the other party's murder and robbery in Hong Kong.
The reason he attacked Mingzhuo that day was twofold: first, he knew that what he had done could no longer be concealed and his lifelong reputation would be ruined; second, he had long been corrupted by the desire for immortality and wanted to kill Mingzhuo to surrender to the God.
Jiang Yunli has contacted special departments, and the authorities are intervening to rectify the Xuanmen sect in Xiangshi, in order to prevent the infiltration of the Saha sect's influence.
Li Wenhe also agreed with He Wangyao's view, "Don't forget, Bai Ling has already risen to the position of divine messenger in the Saha Sect."
After the group finished reviewing the information, Mingzhuo urged everyone to go to sleep quickly.
Since we're going to pick a fight, we need to conserve our energy and not be in a bad mood when it comes to fighting, as that would greatly affect our morale.
Late at night, Mingzhuo was fast asleep in bed.
The nights in the north are still quite cool this time of year. She had one window half open, and a cool breeze was blowing in, which was very comfortable.
A pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared outside the window.
It looked at the person lying on the bed with a greedy and drooling look in its eyes.
