Chapter 64 Cheng Wen wouldn’t have any hobbies of his own, right?
After leaving Jiang Mu's house, Li Xiaogou returned to the Special Investigation Bureau reeking of alcohol.
There were two things he was eager to know the answers to. One was what exactly Jiang Yao's special ability was, and the other was something he had heard no less than three times, which was what happened between several major families in the past.
His level was obviously not high enough, at least not high enough to be able to peek into the deepest secrets of this world.
The archives of several major families are still closed to him.
Jiang Yao's special ability was kept secret at a very low level, but he was not satisfied with the answer.
Improved physical fitness?
It's okay to cheat others, but with the system in hand, this statement is self-defeating.
How about exposing it directly? If the Special Investigation Bureau discovered something fishy about Jiang Yao and they investigated it with all their might, surely that would be better than him investigating secretly on his own, right?
But then he thought again, the existence of the system is an absolute secret, Yunlou, Jiang Mu and all the people close to him are unaware of it, and this is also his last reliance.
Even without considering these, since Jiang Yao has been able to hide under the nose of the Special Investigation Bureau for so long, he must have big plans, and he has probably left a way out for himself. If he makes a big noise now and Jiang Yao runs away, then all his efforts will be in vain.
After thinking it over, Li Xiaogou decided to keep his troops in place and make a decision after observing secretly.
But what happened next interrupted his rhythm - the organization and the Yuchi family formed an alliance.
After a lot of effort, Yuchi Hong finally brought his son back to Heguo. However, his hands were not clean and he suffered many setbacks along the way. In addition, his adopted son secretly resisted him, so he suffered a lot of losses when he returned to Heguo. When he was thinking about how to retaliate against the Special Investigation Bureau, the organization's people also fled all the way to Jigu.
The dung beetle met the dung and they hit it off.
The organization holds people with special abilities and experimental results, while the Yuchi family controls the economic lifelines of the country. The subsequent counterattack of the alliance between the two sides has caused great pressure on the border.
The atmosphere in the Special Investigation Bureau was becoming increasingly tense, and the first manifestation of this was the increasing number of meetings between the four captains.
These people, who have different styles of doing things and dislike each other, managed to work together patiently, which shows that the matter is not a small one.
Everyone in the bureau had their own concerns, but they all tacitly agreed not to speak them out loud. They just acted more cautiously in their daily lives.
In this atmosphere, the two teams that Wang Zheng and Du Tu were in were quickly transferred to Jigu.
No matter how much Li Xiaogou disliked Du Tu, he had to admit that Du Tu and the team under his command were quite strong.
This departure was equivalent to taking away half of the Special Investigation Bureau's elite forces, and the work distributed among the remaining people was several times more than before.
After working overtime day and night for more than two months, he finally experienced what it meant to be "physically drained."
He was half dead, and his wandering soul-like state was so severe that even the workaholic Yunlou couldn't stand it anymore. He called him to the office and forced him to take two days off.
After finally getting two days of vacation, Li Xiaogou thought he would sleep soundly, but he ended up lying in bed staring at the ceiling.
The quiet environment forced him to face the problem he had been avoiding - how to face Jiang Mu.
He did not stop investigating Jiang Yao's actions, and the deeper he investigated, the more suspicious points he found about Jiang Yao.
For example, Jiang Yao told everyone that he picked up Jiang Mu. Before he picked up Jiang Mu, Jiang Mu had awakened his special abilities and was regarded as an alien by the locals. He suffered a lot of bullying and abuse, and was eventually abandoned.
However, Li Xiaogou checked the places Jiang Yao mentioned, but he couldn't find any place where such rumors had appeared.
There are many more loopholes like this.
None of them individually can be used as evidence to incriminate Jiang Yao, but when too many coincidences come together, it is definitely not just a coincidence.
Li Xiaogou hadn't figured out how to tell Jiang Mu yet, and as a result, he had been communicating less with Jiang Mu recently.
When he was busy, he suppressed all these worries, but when he was free, countless conflicting thoughts filled his mind, making him unable to rest.
Just as he buried his face in the pillow in annoyance, the phone rang.
Cheng Man invited him to attend a friend's proposal ceremony.
Cheng Man's efforts went smoothly. After turning over a new leaf, she focused on her work and filmed two works in a row, one of which was a box office hit and the other won her the Best Actress award. Her fame was even greater than when she was just a traffic star.
She has always been grateful to Li Xiaogou. She never forgets to thank Li Xiaogou at the award ceremony. She has also never lost contact with Li Xiaogou and has never stopped calling him during the holidays.
Although Li Xiaogou did not take the initiative to contact Cheng Man, he finally recognized her as his friend due to her persistence.
Cheng Man was very sensible. Although she had guessed that Li Xiaogou's identity was not simple, she never asked him to do anything.
Now she is asking him to attend a marriage proposal ceremony.
Li Xiaogou didn't even know that even proposals now have ceremonies.
After careful investigation, it was found out that the person proposing marriage was the boss of the boss of Cheng Man's agency, a man who inherited a fortune of tens of billions at a young age. The person that this young talent wanted to propose marriage to was a flower on the top of the mountain, who was hard to pursue in all directions. She had only one weakness like humans, which was star chasing. Over the years, the only star she had liked was Li Xiaogou. Even after Li Xiaogou retired for so long, he was still obsessed with Li Xiaogou.
It goes without saying that Cheng Man wanted to please her boss, and it was also true that she wanted to help Li Xiaogou expand his network. In her opinion, this little effort would also be beneficial to Li Xiaogou.
She did not hide this and told Li Xiaogou frankly on the phone.
Yunlou also said the same thing to him. Their work cannot be separated from the support of people from all walks of life, and it is indeed beneficial to know more people.
Li Xiaogou agreed.
The next day he arrived at the proposal ceremony on time.
Not wanting to steal the show, he dressed very low-key today, a white sweatshirt with beige sweatpants. His hair was not styled, and was in a messy style. At first glance, he looked like a clean-cut man.
As he was searching the crowd for Cheng Man with his hands in his pockets, he was slapped on the back.
The red, sequined, fitted dress made Cheng Man look like a ball of fire, making her even more dazzling. She patted Li Xiaogou and jumped in front of him, looking him up and down, sighing, "It's good not to have that class look. Your skin has stretched out, you've really grown younger."
Li Xiaogou, who had been working overtime for two consecutive months: ...
Cheng Man led him to the proposal venue, muttering as she walked, "I suddenly feel that inviting you here might be a bad idea."
Li Xiaogou raised his eyebrows.
"Cheng Wen is also a young talent, but if you stand next to me, I'm afraid some girl might fall for you."
"Then I wear a mask?"
Cheng Man waved her hand: "It's not the mask, it's the temperament."
Li Xiaogou looked at himself. What kind of temperament did he have? Wang Bo had complained about his laziness.
Cheng Man saw through his thoughts immediately: "Don't you know you're a big shot? And you look like the kind that would please mom fans, not greasy at all. You're really blessed by God. Tsk, you don't even know that several directors have complained to me about your youthful recklessness."
You can tell he's an old fan circle member, and he can use all kinds of fan circle rhetoric.
Li Xiaogou understood the meaning of "youthful and frivolous" and pointed at himself: "Me?"
"Who else but you, with such good conditions, insists on quitting the entertainment industry? Director Xicai feels sorry for you. But they don't know...you are not an ordinary person."
Li Xiaogou never revealed any specific information about himself, so Cheng Man was just guessing. The other two people behind him tacitly kept silent. At this time, they also arrived at the place where the proposal was made.
Cheng Man whispered, "Please help check on that girl later. This is something Grandpa Cheng Wen asked me to do. His family didn't keep up with the economic transformation, so they're not very prominent among the wealthy. But three generations ago, they were one of the largest families. Their wealth and connections are not to be underestimated. The family is also keeping a close eye on this granddaughter-in-law."
How many major families?
Li Xiaogou was silent for a moment, and looked at Cheng Wen who was greeting someone with a dark look in his eyes.
Cheng Wen seemed to feel his gaze and looked in his direction.
That look... couldn't really be described as friendly.
"He's been licking the goddess for so many years and now he treats you as his idol and puts you on the headboard of his bed. He's jealous. Don't bother with him." Cheng Man whispered beside him.
Li Xiaogou was not fussy about it, but... he saw something interesting.
He didn't think that just because Cheng's family was a big one, they had the right to be picky, especially since his grandson was pursuing the girl.
Since you want to see, let’s first see if his grandson is qualified.
Unexpectedly...
Haha, men’s mouths are full of lies.
When the hour hand pointed to 10, the woman finally showed up.
Li Xiaogou raised his eyebrows in surprise. The girl came wearing canvas shoes, a white shirt and jeans, and obviously had no idea what was about to happen.
"Are you sure this wasn't forced by Xiezhong?" Li Xiaogou asked.
Cheng Man opened her lips slightly, obviously not expecting Cheng Wen to be so fierce.
Has he ever thought about how embarrassed he would be if a girl rejected him in front of so many people?
However, Cheng Man was only assisting, and the ball was not in her hands.
The girl stood at the end of the road with a confused and bewildered look on her face. In front of her was a straight red carpet, and at the other end of the red carpet, Cheng Wen was slowly walking towards the girl with a bouquet of flowers.
On both sides of Chengwen, two girls in white dresses held flower baskets and scattered white petals as they walked with Chengwen.
Cheng Man muttered, "Cheng Wen wouldn't have any hobbies like his own, would he?"
Li Xiaogou heard it but didn't understand. He glanced at the faces of the two girls beside Cheng Wen, then walked forward.
"Eh? It's not your turn yet." Cheng Man chased after him anxiously.
The accident happened in an instant.
Cheng Wen walked to the end of the road and knelt on one knee in the girl's confused eyes.
According to the procedure, all the flowers in the basket have been thrown, and the girl standing on the left should take out a red velvet box from the basket and hand it to Chengwen.
Needless to say, the box contained an engagement ring.
The girl reached in, but what came out was a gun.
Daxia has strict gun control, and the girl did not get a real gun, but a nail gun.
However, at this distance, a nail gun was enough to take Cheng Wen's life.
