After dinner, Master Qian asked Lu Jiaxin what she wanted him to do. Gu Wenfeng had told him before that Lu Jiaxin needed help, but he didn't say what she wanted to do. The main reason was that Gu Wenfeng didn't know, so he couldn't tell him.

"Come in with me."

After entering the study, Lu Jiaxin asked, "Do you know anyone in Sijiu City?"

"I know quite a few. What kind of people do you want to find?"

Lu Jiaxin did not hide it from him and said, "I want to investigate Ding Jing and her family. Ding Jing is the woman my father married later. In addition, there is my best friend in high school, Kang Tongtong, and her family."

Gu Wenfeng had told Master Qian about Lu Jiaxin's family situation. It was understandable to investigate her stepmother and her family, but it was unusual to investigate her high school classmate: "How did your classmate offend you?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "She advised me to go back to my hometown to relax, and told me not to tell my father and my family. My father would be very anxious, and he also knew how important I was."

Master Qian looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze and said, "It will cost a lot to investigate these people. Can you come up with so much money?"

Before coming here, he had never doubted Lu Jiaxin's financial resources. After all, Gu Wenfeng was very reliable in his mind. But this girl was almost cheated to death by a few words, which didn't feel good! "Don't worry, I made a lot of money in Yangcheng."

Master Qian looked at her and said, "Miss Lu, for Afeng's sake, Xiaoxiao and I can work for you for free for a few days, but my friends can't. They risk their lives to investigate for you, and they won't do it if they don't get enough compensation."

Lu Jiaxin went back to the room, took out a thick stack of big unity and put it on the table, and said, "Here is five thousand, should it be enough?"

Today, five thousand is a very large sum of money.

Seeing is believing. Seeing her easily take out five thousand yuan, Master Qian was relieved. He asked, "What do you want to investigate?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "I have seen Ding Jing wearing gold bracelets and gold necklaces at home several times. The styles of the bracelets are always different. My father said he never bought any for her. Where did they come from? It could only be bribery."

Women all like jewelry, but Lu Hongjun would definitely be reported if he wore jewelry outside. He couldn't wear it outside to show off, so he wore it at home for fun. The original body was still a child and didn't think much of it. Due to family education, he wouldn't tell others about family matters, so Ding Jing didn't take precautions.

Master Qian looked at her in confusion: "You can tell from the gold jewelry that Ding Jing accepted bribes. How could your classmate trick you into returning home alone with just a few words? You were almost kidnapped."

Lu Jiaxin showed a mocking smile: "I have already been to the King of Hell. If I still don't improve and remain as stupid as before, then the King of Hell's chance to let me go back will be wasted."

Master Qian had been through a lot, so he consoled him: "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. But how can you be so sure that it was the Ding family who helped to accept the bribes?"

Lu Jiaxin said, "There are many people in the family compound who gossip a lot. If someone comes to my house all the time, I'm sure people will suspect me. Ding Jing's brother is a big mouth. He wants to tell the whole world about every little thing. Her brother is a researcher. He looks kind but he is actually a smiling but treacherous person."

Master Qian wrote down all these words and asked, "What about your classmate? Why do you think she wanted to harm you?"

Lu Jiaxin thought about this matter carefully, and she said: "Kang Tongtong's father is the director of a building materials factory, and his family is well-off. If you can't tempt her with material things, then threats are the only option. But she is lively and cheerful, gets along well with everyone, and is focused on studying. It's impossible for her to have any handle or stain. Ding Jing should have caught her parents' handle. I have met her mother, she is a very virtuous woman, so the problem should be with her father."

"If there is nothing wrong with Kang Tongtong's father, then check her mother." Lu Jiaxin said. The probability is very low, but some things can't be judged on the surface.

The next day, Master Qian went out and did not come back until the evening. He went to find Lu Jiaxin and told her that the people had been found and that the other party was willing to help her investigate the three people, but the fee was relatively high.

Hearing his offer, Lu Jiaxin was shocked: "Five thousand as a deposit, and another five thousand after the deal is done? Your friend wants to slaughter me like a fat sheep, right?"

This is not high, this is outrageous! Nowadays, pork is only 1.2 yuan per pound, and green vegetables are only a few cents per pound. The three people to be investigated are not big shots. Even if the other party knows, they dare not kill them to silence them. Why do we need such a high fee?

Master Qian coughed and said, "I told them to give them 5,000 first, and then decide based on the investigation. If it's easy to find evidence, we don't have to pay any more; if the other party is hiding deep, long, and dangerous, then we'll pay more."

Lu Jiaxin could accept this. She said, "Okay, I'll give you 5,000 first. But I can't show up. My dad has some connections in Sijiu City. It will be troublesome if he finds out."

Master Qian looked at her and said, "Husband and wife are one. Are you sure you really want to investigate that woman? If that woman's bribery is proven, your father will not be able to escape."

Lu Jiaxin's expression was very cold: "As long as he has not done anything illegal, he will retire two years early. If he is also like Ding Jing, he deserves to be arrested for corruption and bribery."

Master Qian warned: "If your father is arrested and sent to jail, you won't be able to pass the political review and may not even be able to go to university."

Lu Jiaxin had never really thought about this question. She said, "The policy is more relaxed now than before. If you pass the exam, you should be able to go to school."

Master Qian said, "Don't be optimistic. I think even if you want to get Ding Jing, you should wait until you go to college. It's not worth it to affect your future for a woman like that."

Both Lu's mother and the original body wished to be admitted to university, so she would definitely take the exam and go to school if she was admitted. Lu Jiaxin said, "There is nothing yet, it's too early to say this."

Master Qian was worried that she hadn't considered these things, so after reminding her, she still decided to do so. So no one can be blamed.

The next morning, Xue Mao avoided Xiao Xiao and Lu Jiaxin and said, "Xin Jie, I found that Fifth Sister-in-law doesn't like Master Qian and Xiao Xiao. She has not allowed Qiang Qiang and Xiao Feng to go out for the past two days."

"Don't worry, she will move out soon."

"Where are we going to move to when we haven't even bought a house yet?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "She came back so late yesterday and today just to look at houses. She has plenty of money on hand, so she should be able to find a house quickly."

From the relocation incident, she found that Ma Lili didn't know the priorities. After getting married, she should focus on her family, but she always put her natal family first. Under the partiality of Ma's parents and the sarcasm of Ma Dahua, she refused to give in even when Fifth Brother strongly requested to move and even stayed away from home. She was willing to move only when the adoption was confirmed. She endured even when her husband was wronged and her children were bullied.
