Chapter 509 The Fraudulent Taoist Priest
Ten days.
Xia Yue and Qin Yeting searched for Xiao Xingyu for ten whole days, but still found nothing.
As for Third Master Qin, he seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Xia Yue panicked completely.
"What exactly is he trying to do? Hiding the sick Xingyu and breaking ties with us, what good will that do him?" Xia Yue didn't understand Qin San Taiye's behavior.
After all, Xiao Xingyu is just a child, and he's sick.
If Third Master Qin wanted to use Xiao Xingyu to deal with them and gain power within the Qin family, he should negotiate with Qin Yeting.
Instead of now, where we have no idea where they've hidden themselves.
"Little Yue'er, I've already mobilized the Q organization's resources to search for Xiao Xingyu worldwide. We're sure to find clues," Qin Yeting comforted Xia Yue.
Xia Yue felt increasingly guilty. "It's all my fault. I should have been more resolute back then and not handed Xiao Xingyu over to that kind of person."
"Xiaoyue, how can this be your fault? It was my insistence that Xiaoxingyu go with that person for treatment. I didn't investigate properly. If you want to blame someone, blame me!" Qin Yeting grabbed Xia Yue's hand, trying to calm her down.
Xia Yue, however, still looked dejected.
Meanwhile, Assistant Zhou sent the latest news.
"BOSS, according to the latest news, Grandpa Qin San did not develop a specific medicine for blood diseases before. His granddaughter died in a car accident, but she was already terminally ill when she died."
In other words, it was all a scam from beginning to end; Third Master Qin couldn't save the young master at all.
After finishing his sentence, Assistant Zhou was terrified, fearing that Qin Yeting would get angry at him.
Qin Yeting gripped his phone tightly in anger, suppressing the urge to kill!
That damned old man, it turns out he was lying about even this!
Xia Yue was even more puzzled. "Why would he do this? What is his purpose?"
“We’ve found out that about a year ago, Third Master Qin had frequent contact with a Taoist priest who called himself ‘Master Zhang.’ I’m starting with the Taoist priest to see if we can find any clues,” Assistant Zhou replied in a low voice.
Suppressing his anger, Qin Yeting roared, "Investigate! Keep investigating! Even if it means turning everything upside down, we must find that damned old bastard!"
"Yes!" Assistant Zhou accepted the order.
Xia Yue felt that the word "Taoist" sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
She tried to recall, but because she had been hypnotized by Gu Chen before, her memory was somewhat confused, and she couldn't remember anything.
She consulted her friend Shen Xiangxiang to come up with a solution.
During this time, Shen Xiangxiang has been contacting information channels in the black market to help Xia Yue find clues about Xiao Xingyu.
Although she had just broken up with her boyfriend, her godson had gotten into trouble, and she couldn't stay immersed in her pain forever, so she forced herself to work.
Upon hearing Xia Yue utter the word "Taoist priest," she reacted as if on cue, immediately standing up and declaring, "I'm mortal enemies with those stinking Taoist priests!"
"Do you really know the Taoist priest?" Xia Yue hurriedly asked.
"I don't know him, but the merchant previously hired a lousy Taoist priest who said that my birth charts and Shang Zexi's are incompatible, that I am bad luck for Shang Zexi, that I will not be able to have children in the future, that Shang Zexi will be poor and destitute in his old age, and that the merchant will go bankrupt."
The merchants are very superstitious. They already looked down on the Shen family's social standing, and after hearing this, they were even more against me being with Shang Zexi!
I still remember that stinky Taoist priest who called himself Zhang Tianshi—ugh, he was just a charlatan!
Shen Xiangxiang gets furious whenever this is mentioned.
Xia Yue's eyes widened. "Your Taoist priest and this Taoist priest of mine, could they be the same person?"
"Absolutely! When I catch that swindler, I'll tear him to pieces! Then grind his bones to dust! Finally, I'll throw him into the sea to feed the fish!" Shen Xiangxiang said through gritted teeth.
Xia Yue calmed down a bit and asked, "Since the merchant had contacted this Taoist priest before, does that mean the merchant can contact him?"
"It should be possible..." Shen Xiangxiang's expression darkened when the merchant was mentioned.
Xia Yue advised, "Now is not the time to act rashly. If we can find this Taoist priest, we might be able to find Xiao Xingyu and prove that he is a fraud. Then the Shang family might agree to you and Shang Zexi being together."
"It's impossible. Shang Zexi has already gone to F country and is dating the daughter of the chamber of commerce president there every day. I think he has long forgotten about me," Shen Xiangxiang said resentfully.
"You're always overthinking things. Don't you know what kind of person Shang Zexi is? It's possible he's dating that chairman's daughter for the sake of his family business, but it's absolutely impossible that he's fallen in love with her. Otherwise, Qin Yeting wouldn't be friends with him," Xia Yue said firmly.
Shen Xiangxiang frowned, still feeling uneasy.
She actually sent a private investigator to F country to investigate.
The president's daughter bears a resemblance to her, especially when she smiles.
But the other person was clearly more confident and elegant, and had a powerful background.
If Shang Zexi only likes this type of girl, then it's only a matter of time before he falls for someone else.
"I'll have Qin Yeting ask the merchants if they can contact that Taoist priest." After finding a clue, Xia Yue just wanted to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
Qin Yeting's side was very efficient. The merchant knew that this matter concerned the young master of the Qin family, so he gave it to them without any hesitation and even promised to help with the charade.
After obtaining their contact information, Xia Yue and Qin Yeting did not rush to find the Taoist priest, but instead decided to play the long game.
This Taoist priest is very cautious. He won't cooperate with clients who suddenly approach him; he only trusts referrals from existing clients.
The merchant acted as a shill for Qin Yeting, who then asked the Taoist priest to tell his fortune. The priest immediately asked for eight million.
