It would be a lie to say that I am not confused about this old man who should be over 50 years old, but now appears in the picture looking like he is in his 30s or 40s.
"It's witchcraft!" Ah Xing spoke up at this time to answer everyone's doubts, and these two words also attracted everyone's attention!
Upon hearing this, Fu Linxiao was the first to ask the crucial question for everyone: "Witchcraft? What does it mean?"
Ah Xing was not an expert in this kind of crooked ways, but he had just learned about it from the old man by chance, so he told everyone in a deep voice what he knew.
"When I was a kid, I watched a TV show about immortality and was very interested. So I asked my grandfather if there was a secret to immortality. But he said immortality was impossible, but there was a kind of sorcery in the Mifan Kingdom, something called the "Retaining Youth Technique." It could preserve the skin and most of the body in the same state as before!"
"Weifan Kingdom?" Fu Linxiao first questioned this country. He had never heard of this name, let alone knew much about it.
"Oh! This is a small country from many years ago. Their territory is only one island. I think it is at best a tribe, not a country at all. But they faded from public view very early. In their philosophy, self-sufficiency is the most important thing! I remember when my grandfather told me about their country, he said that they are still in a primitive state until now."
After hearing Ah Xing's description, everyone fell silent. What kind of person was Helian Rui once again raised a big question mark in everyone's mind.
"But how did Helian Rui know the method of this anti-aging technique?" Jiang Luoning muttered to himself.
Fu Linxiao pondered for a moment, but came to no conclusion. He could only helplessly say, "Let's go back and ask Mr. Chu. Let's see what they're going to do first."
Han Tianyu, who had been concentrating on checking the surveillance footage, heard Fu Linxiao end the unfinished discussion and repeated what he had just heard to everyone: "Just now, Helian Rui asked Mrs. Dong to contact Chen Xu, and it seems she is coming here too!"
After hearing Han Tianyu's words, Jiang Linghao recalled the information he had found about the club and said indignantly, "Can't you only bring one person in? Then how did Chen Xu get in?"
"Ah Xing, check on the woman in the first room! And have Su Yu secretly check on all the waiters in the club!"
Jiang Luoning also noticed something strange about this matter, so he gave the young man an order in a deep voice. The others were also focused on this matter and did not notice the hint of anger in the girl's tone.
Upon hearing this, Ah Xing immediately stood up and walked to the secret room outside. After confirming that the hidden door on the bookshelf was closed, he hurriedly called Su Yu and explained the whole story. He only asked Su Yu to verify it quickly. Otherwise, if Jiang Luoning really got angry, then this matter would not be so easy to resolve. If it was really one of their people who could cooperate with Helian Rui, then this club would probably disappear and the group would be reshuffled. After all, Jiang Luoning never tolerated any grain of sand in his eyes.
After learning about this, Su Yu immediately investigated the whole thing himself, of course all of this was done in secret.
The two people in the monitored room didn't talk about anything useful, but the first topic they started with was Dong Siqing. Although they tried to talk about some family matters, Fu Linxiao always felt that something was wrong, so he asked Jiang Luoning;
"Ning'er, if I remember correctly, Chen Xu once said that Dong Siqing was not Madam Dong's biological daughter?"
Jiang Luoning hesitated slightly after hearing this, but combined with what he had just seen and heard on the surveillance camera, he instantly understood Fu Linxiao's thoughts. He looked at the man and blurted out, "Are you suspecting that Dong Siqing has some relationship with Helian Rui?"
Fu Linxiao frowned and nodded in agreement.
Soon, Ah Xing returned to the secret room with the investigation results.
"Sister Ning, Sister Yu'er has just found out. This Helian Rui obtained the membership card in Country A under the identity of Chen Rui, and the lady in the first room was his recommender. She is... the second wife of the head of the side branch of the Earl of Watson's family in Country A."
While Ah Xing was telling Su Yu the news that she had just found out, she projected the information in her hand onto another idle large screen; but when she mentioned the Earl's family in Country A, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Luoning.
"Earl Watson?" Fu Linxiao asked in doubt when he saw Ah Xing's unintentional action.
Jiang Luoning didn't dare to look directly into Fu Linxiao's eyes, fearing that he would notice something unusual! But there were some things he had to say, so he could only bite the bullet and tactically pretend to cough and say:
"Ahem, well, I'll go contact the Earl. I had some interactions with them when I was studying abroad in Country A."
Jiang Linghao stared at Jiang Luoning with wide eyes, and said in disbelief, "My dear sister! Your connections have already reached the level of Earl!"
"I... that! Ah Xing treated him! Isn't that Ah Xing?"
Jiang Luoning, still trying to come up with an excuse to cover up the issue, saw Ah Xing trying to slouch down in his chair and minimize his presence. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Ah Xing, whose name was called, could only smile awkwardly and nod in agreement. Jiang Luoning was right, though. Ah Xing had indeed treated the Earl's family, but it was at Jiang Luoning's request.
Han Tianyu was about to ask something when Fu Linxiao's phone rang. It was Chen Xu.
"Mr. Fu, Mrs. Dong just asked me to go to Yunyin Guildhall. Where are you guys?"
Fu Linxiao picked up the phone under everyone's gaze, and heard Chen Xu talking about what they were discussing just now, and told him the truth.
