Chapter 19: The Fighter Among Scumbags



With Luo Jingxuan's permission, Li Xi felt much more confident when she went to see Assistant Jiang again. She didn't beat around the bush with him and told him directly that this was a decision, not a request for opinion.

Since the boss agreed, Assistant Jiang naturally had no objection and directly gave the order to investigate.

Li Xi also explained to Mian Lao Si that the investment would still be in his name, but Luo Jingxuan would help support him. This way, he would have both money and influence, and the detective's future operations would be much easier.

After the two sides communicated, Li Xi had nothing to do. All she had to do was wait for the result.

But waiting around wasn't Li Xi's style. Since there was nothing to do, Li Xi simply started making preparations.

On the one hand, he set about creating self-media accounts on various platforms, writing account details, doing certification, etc. On the other hand, he searched for information about Zhao Haoran on the Internet.

After a few days, Li Xi not only mastered all the public information about Zhao Haoran, but also infiltrated his hardcore fan group and learned many "secrets" that only fans knew.

For example, any fan group member can sign up to act in any TV series or movie starring Zhao Haoran. Those who successfully pass the screening will also have the opportunity to have a private meal with Zhao Haoran.

For example, Zhao Haoran will hold handshake events from time to time. The participation time will only be notified within the fan group, and the places will naturally only be selected within the group.

Although she didn't know why an actor would hold a handshake event, since he wasn't an idol, Li Xi could already smell a conspiracy from these "group members only" activities.

Not to mention that in the world before Li Xi traveled through time, there was already the unhealthy phenomenon of celebrities using excuses to develop close relationships with fans. This emphasis on "private," "limited," and "exclusive" was either false advertising or a ulterior motive.

Very suspicious.

However, Li Xi couldn't produce any evidence right now, and it was not easy for her to just say it to Song Beibei without any evidence. "Sister, wake up. He is a scumbag."

All Li Xi can do now is to take a small notebook to write down his suspicions and investigate them in depth later.

Fortunately, Song Beibei's mood had been good over the past two days. The two of them occasionally chatted, mostly about girlish topics like clothes, bags, and cosmetics. They also mentioned Zhao Haoran, and while Song Beibei's attitude was somewhat evasive, she didn't constantly defend him.

It seemed that after they separated that day, Song Beibei had thought carefully about it and had already formed some doubts about Zhao Haoran. However, her childhood filter was too strong, and she still couldn't believe it, so she was hypnotizing herself.

Li Xi naturally wouldn't pierce her lungs at this time. Since the end result would definitely be a breakup after she was seriously injured, it would be better for him to just cut her flesh with a blunt knife every day and suffer in vain for so many days.

So before the results of the investigation came out, Li Xi had no intention of saying anything bad about Zhao Haoran anymore, and would not use words like "scumbag" or "cheat".

At most, he would occasionally mention Zhao Haoran during a chat and ask about their recent situation. This was a way to give Song Beibei a heads-up, reminding her to think about her abnormal relationship with Zhao Haoran.

I don't ask her to suddenly realize it while thinking about it, I just hope that she can be mentally prepared before knowing the result, otherwise she may be hurt greatly after knowing the result. This goes against Li Xi's original intention.

As for Su Yu, Li Xi told her about her plans to start her own media platform and hoped she would join. After all, the second female lead in the original story, although she was a vicious character and was always criticized in the original story, but judging by her actions, her IQ and EQ were all online.

Li Xi also valued her experience in the second dimension and her understanding of the Internet, social networks, and fan circles.

Su Yu agreed without hesitation, and said that she and Li Xi would learn skills from Mian Lao Si.

Although Li Xi wanted to complain that this "skill" didn't seem to be much of a skill after learning it, she still agreed happily and told Mian Lao Si about her decision.

Mian Lao Si was speechless for a while, but finally gave in. After all, Li Xi was the financial sponsor.

A few days later, Assistant Jiang's investigation results came back, indicating no issues. Assistant Jiang first reported the results to Luo Jingxuan and confirmed the final investment amount. Only after receiving a clear answer did he contact Li Xi.

After Li Xi got the result, she directly confirmed the signing time and place with Mian Lao Si, and asked Assistant Jiang to borrow a lawyer.

After several rounds of communication, Li Xi successfully became Mian Lao Si's boss and apprentice.

The moment we signed the contract and shook hands, Li Xi smiled widely. Her career was about to take off, the peak of her life was waving at her, and the future was promising.

Mian Lao Si was also smiling from ear to ear. Not only was he happy to be a father, but he also had a big brother to look up to. His life was about to be complete.

Su Yu, who was watching from the side, also smiled happily, as he could get close to the beauty often.

In the joyful atmosphere, Li Xi sent the lawyer away and reminisced with Mian Laosi and Su Yu about her first memories of becoming a boss. The topic, of course, was the scumbag Zhao Haoran.

"Fourth Brother, where do you think we should start the investigation?" Li Xi asked first.

"..." Mian Lao Si glanced at Li Xi with an indescribable look, his voice sour, "Either call me Mian Lao Si or Lao Mian. Don't call me Lao Si, it sounds awkward."

After he finished speaking, Mian Lao Si took a sip of water and continued without waiting for Li Xi to speak, "It depends on what you want to investigate about him. If it's illegal, you can start by investigating pornography, gambling, drugs, and tax evasion. Those are easy to investigate, and we have special channels. If you're investigating whether he has a clean relationship, then check the hotel check-in records, the surveillance cameras, and the surveillance cameras near his home to see if there are other women around him."

"I suspect he lured a minor into having sex."
