Chapter 105: Do you need something?
Jiang Shaofeng and the other man looked at each other and smiled awkwardly at the same time.
Ye Wanxi noticed the strangeness between the two, took a deep breath, and pretended to be helpless, saying, "Don't worry, I just need you to help me find a reliable way. I can still afford to buy the medicinal herbs."
Jiang Shaofeng seemed to wake from a dream, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "My parents do know a few herbal medicine dealers. I'll ask them when I get back."
As for the money to purchase medicinal herbs, if Ye Wanxi really has the ability to help them find her brother, then she won't have to rush to find someone to buy the herbs. These medicinal herb merchants will probably take the initiative to deliver the medicine to her door for her to choose.
"Then I'll leave it to you. If there's nothing else, I'll go to the audition first." Ye Wanxi got up and walked out, but as she passed Jiang Shaofeng, she smiled and reminded him, "Your parents, or rather, your adoptive parents, love you very much. You should have more confidence in yourself and in them."
Jiang Shaofeng's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened unconsciously. He stood there for a long time before revealing a faint smile, then turned and followed him out.
What the group said in the lounge is unknown to anyone other than the four of them.
There are many people in the crew who are very curious or have malicious intentions towards Jiang Shaofeng.
Although the former felt itchy and wanted to know other people's secrets, he was afraid of Jiang Shaofeng's family background. No matter how curious he was, he would not take the initiative to ask Ye Wanxi and Gao Min.
The latter didn't have so many concerns, but every time he walked up to Ye Wanxi, he would be frightened by her insightful eyes.
Over time, no one dared to mention this matter again.
A busy day passed peacefully. Ye Wanxi had too many scenes to film, and she spent several hours just hanging on wires.
In the end, if she wasn't worried about scaring the crew, Ye Wanxi would have liked to remove the wires and perform a "take-off" act for everyone.
It was already late at night when the filming was finally finished. Ye Wanxi dozed off as soon as she got in the car. She was woken up by Gao Min when she arrived at the hotel entrance and walked in a daze.
But they found that several people suddenly came out of a van parked nearby and walked straight towards them.
Gao Min was startled, thinking that she had encountered a criminal gang that was lurking around to rob people late at night. She hurriedly pulled Ye Wanxi to her side and stared at the dark shadows with a defensive and nervous look on her face.
As the group approached, the streetlights shone on them, allowing Ye Wanxi and her companion to see their faces clearly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Wanxi's eyes, and she called out uncertainly, "Master Zou...?"
"Young friend Ye, you're too kind." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zou Yuanhe's face as he chuckled. "I don't deserve to be called a master by you. You can just call me by my name."
Ye Wanxi intuitively felt that Zou Yuanhe's attitude towards her seemed more respectful than when she was at the Xiao family.
However, Ye Wanxi had no intention of delving deeper, and instead turned her gaze to the several unfamiliar men following him: "Who are these gentlemen...?"
Zou Yuanhe was reminded by her and remembered the real purpose of coming here today, and hurriedly introduced a few people to Ye Wanxi.
"This is my senior brother, Qin Hongxu, who is also the abbot of Qingyue Temple."
Ye Wanxi looked in the direction he pointed and immediately saw an old man who was a few years older than Zou Yuanhe, with a dignified appearance, a bit thin, and a kind smile on his face.
"Master Qin, I have long admired your name."
Master Qin chuckled and said, "I've heard my junior brother mention Young Master Ye several times before, but I've never had the chance to meet him. Today, I see that Young Master Ye is indeed as amazingly talented as the rumors say, leaving me in awe and full of admiration."
Gao Min thought that Abbot Qin was just flattering Ye Wanxi, but Ye Wanxi vaguely sensed that there was something more to his words and smiled and said, "Abbot Qin, you flatter me."
"These two are full-time staff members of a special department."
Full-time staff from a special department? Although Ye Wanxi didn't know what this special department was for, judging from the two people's faces, temperament, and even the good fortune around them, they definitely couldn't be small clerks.
Zou Yuanhe introduced them this way probably because he didn't want too many people to know their identities, so Ye Wanxi was considerate enough not to point it out.
"Is there something important that you've come all this way to see me so late?"
The group exchanged glances, looking troubled. "This isn't a suitable place to talk, Miss Ye. If you don't mind, could you come with us?"
Ye Wanxi knew what they meant; they wanted to take her to a place with a high degree of confidentiality to talk.
Normally, she might have agreed, but right now she was too tired to go anywhere with them.
"No need for all that trouble, just follow me."
After Ye Wanxi finished speaking, she took Gao Min and walked directly into the hotel. Zou Yuanhe turned to look at the few people with a questioning look on his face.
The old man with mixed black and white hair standing next to Qin Hongxu frowned, but still followed Ye Wanxi in.
Seeing this, the others didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly followed.
Ye Wanxi took them to the reception room specially prepared by the hotel for guests who wanted to discuss business. As soon as they entered the room, they heard the sound of vehicles passing near the hotel, and their expressions suddenly became a little subtle.
Ye Wanxi knew what they were worried about, and made a hand seal in front of everyone.
In an instant, all sounds outside vanished, and an unprecedented silence filled the air.
The group's expressions changed, and they subconsciously looked at each other, but none of them dared to utter a sound to break the inexplicably eerie silence.
Ye Wanxi sat down on the sofa opposite the group and broke the silence first: "What is it? I just cast a silencing spell in this room to make sure that nothing we talk about will be heard."
The group looked at each other, but remained silent.
Ye Wanxi frowned and pondered for a moment, as if she had thought of something: "Oh, I forgot to mention, the application of this spell also includes various electronic devices."
Upon hearing this, the younger of the two, who was hailed as "professional staff," had a bright look in his eyes, and looked at Ye Wanxi as if she were a priceless rare object.
Simply by casually performing a magic spell, all electronic devices can be completely blocked from eavesdropping, ensuring absolute secrecy. If this technology could be applied...
Fortunately, the older man pulled him back in time, making him swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"We are here today to talk to Ms. Ye about the hijacking incident of Flight 5014 that caused a great stir online not long ago, as well as the case of child abduction by human traffickers in xx County, Z City."
Ye Wanxi looked up at the person who spoke and said with a faint smile, "Sure, how do you plan to talk?"
Xiao Baihui was surprised that Ye Wanxi was so easy to talk to. He paused for a moment before saying, "Miss Ye, were the talismans that the passengers on 5014 who were almost chosen as hostages by the kidnappers given to them by you? A few days ago, when you left the XX County Police Station, did you also hand a note with the temporary address of the human traffickers to a policewoman in the station?"
