Chapter 18: Worry-free
Shen Zhiyi: “No time.”
Fatty Zhou showed off all his belongings and said, "I'll treat you. How much do you charge per hour? I'll pay you."
"Do I look like someone who's short of money?"
"Master!" Fatty Zhou knelt down, his face tearful. "Please accompany me! I'm so scared! As soon as I get back, I'll remember what happened that day. As long as you accompany me, I'll do anything you ask me to do!"
Shen Zhiyi hissed, “Who can’t speak?”
Fatty Zhou understood the key point and immediately took out a pen and paper to write a contract. The general meaning was that from now on, he was willing to work for Shen Zhiyi for free without any report.
Signed and stamped with handprint.
Shen Zhiyi said nothing and walked past.
Fatty Zhou didn't understand why.
After a while, Shen Zhiyi paused, tilted his head and said, "Are you not leaving yet?"
"Hey, coming right up! Master!" Fatty Zhou followed him like a servile boy.
Shen Zhiyi stared at the prompt in the APP with a deep look in his eyes.
The owner of the jade ring is also on the list. If he accepts it, he can increase his lifespan by three months.
I have to go this time.

The weather was scorching, especially by the river. Waves of heat kept rolling in, making the air sweltering.
Not long after getting off the car, Shen Zhiyi's sweat flowed down his cheeks.
Fatty Zhou picked a lotus leaf to use as a parasol for her and used the lotus flower to fan her.
"Master, please go slower. There are a lot of stones here and it's easy to get bumped."
Shen Zhiyi glanced around and accidentally saw a few tourists taking pictures of her. She didn't care and opened her mysterious pupils to scan the target.
strangeness.
The goal is not here.
"Are you sure the person committed suicide here?"
Fatty Zhou hesitated, "I was in charge of the salvage operation, and I didn't witness it, but it's almost certain that he jumped off the bridge."
"No one's here."
Fatty Zhou was quick-witted and immediately said, "You mean, this isn't the first scene?"
Shen Zhiyi: "People don't drown, they enter the water after they die."
"But how could a dead person drown on her own? Oh, you mean, she was murdered and then disguised as suicide?"
Fatty Zhou's eyes widened. "There was indeed a rumor circulating at the time that the autopsy results were flawed and the man didn't drown, but for some reason there wasn't a storm, and the case was later dropped."
"Give me the ring." Shen Zhiyi stretched out his hand.
Fatty Zhou presented the jade ring and asked, "Master, do we not need to burn incense then?"
"Find the owner first."
Shen Zhiyi entered the APP, clicked to scan the original object, and activated the tracking function.
Soon, a route appeared on the phone interface.
The end point of the route is called "Mingxiu Zundi".
Fatty Zhou only took one look and said in surprise, "Mingxiu Zundi! This is a super rich area. It's close to here and we can get there in a short time. But the management there is strict. We can't get in if we are not the owner."
"Then let's not go. I'm tired too." Shen Zhiyi said lightly.
Fatty Zhou was getting anxious, and begged like a sage, "No, Master, don't worry, I'll find a way. I, Fatty Zhou, may not have anything else, but I have plenty of connections!"
"Who is your master? You are old enough to be my father."
"You are a master of high cultivation, so you are naturally my master. We don't care about the ways of ordinary people."
The two of them walked and talked, and their figures soon disappeared by the river.
Two passers-by knocked on the car and drove away, full of suspicion.
"Hurry up and send the picture to the group, send it to the private group, don't let Daiyi see it."

Huasheng Technology.
The secretary walked in with a cup of black coffee and reported softly, "Mr. Xiao, the coffee you ordered."
Xiao Lanting nodded and handed her the signed document. "Send it to the Overseas Department."
"yes."
The secretary was about to leave when he stopped her: "Why was there so much noise downstairs just now?"
The secretary said, “It was Mr. Shen’s relative who was making trouble, but she has left now.”
“Mr. Shen’s relative?”
"Yes, it seems to be his eldest sister-in-law. She said she came to discuss important matters. It seems that there is a divorce at home, and she asked Mr. Shen to go back and take charge of the situation. Mr. Shen did not see her."
She added: "Mr. Shen's relationship with his family doesn't seem to be very good. This has happened several times."
"Where's Mr. Shen?"
"I left for the airport ten minutes ago to pick up Wendy."
Xiao Lanting nodded and let her go out to work.
His phone kept vibrating, so he picked it up to check the message.
It’s a private message on a certain audio platform.
After watching Shen Zhiyi’s live broadcast, he didn’t click into the software, and accumulated a lot of private messages, ninety-nine plus.
Basically, they asked him to join the fan group.
He had no intention, but he saw a message: Boss, it doesn’t matter whether you join the big group or not, but you must join this private group. We have a lot of interesting high-definition private photos, which is definitely a benefit!
Private photos? Welfare?
The man frowned slightly.
Since he had some free time, he went in to take a look.
There were nearly two thousand people in the group, and each person's ID was named "So-and-so from Daiyi's family".
As soon as he joined the group, countless new messages popped up.
Basically everyone welcomes him to the group.
A few minutes later, they interviewed him about why he liked Shen Zhiyi.
He didn't read the message, he just clicked into the photo album.
With this glance, the pupils shrank slightly.
Haha, it is indeed a private picture.
Looking at the album full of horrifying photos that had nothing to do with Shen Zhiyi himself, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, his brows relaxed, and he exited the album.
The interface jumps back to the chat group.
The latest news popped out——
"(Picture) (Picture)"
"I happened to be strolling by the river today and ran into Daiyi! The man in the photo is most likely Ting Lanxiao, a big shot on the list! The two were talking and laughing. The man respected and loved Daiyi, wanting to treat her like a Buddha and please her. They just went to Mingxiu Zun's residence. It seems that Daiyi liked him, but the big shot didn't have a house there. The big shot said that even if he didn't have a house, he would find a way to let Daiyi in! So spoiled!"
"How could it be the number one? The number one just joined the group. Why don't you ask if it's him?"
Countless people tagged Xiao Lanting.
Xiao Lanting: It’s not me.
After he denied it, the group went into an uproar.
"He's not number one on the list! Could he be some big shot in real life? Is he a good guy?"
"He doesn't look like a good person! Daiyi is so innocent, she won't be fooled by him!"
"Should we call the police?"
"Why are you so excited? Why don't you just ask Dai Yi? Maybe it's a relative."
"I've seen this man before. He was there when I went to the casino to look for my dad. He seemed to have been beaten up at the time. My dad said he was a scumbag! He even pretended to be a demigod and set up a fortune-telling stall. It was all a scam!"
The veins on Xiao Lanting's forehead twitched twice.
He pinched his brows and let out a sigh.
**
Mingxiuzun Residence is not far from the riverside, and it only takes eight minutes to drive there.
However, Shen Zhiyi waited in the car for almost half an hour, but Fatty Zhou didn't show up.
This guy said he was going to deal with the security guard, but he's nowhere to be found yet.
Forget it, it’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
She put on her mask and got out of the car.
