At 7 p.m., Don Juan called over Wei Lai and two others, along with the show's assistant director, to play cards.
Meanwhile, Jiang Mingyue, dressed in a black hoodie, quietly left the hotel.
One of the skills gained from transmigrating into a book is the ability to conceal one's presence, making it difficult for others to detect one's presence.
The executive director, who was waiting in the car at the hotel entrance, widened his eyes and scanned the area but did not see Jiang Mingyue leave.
The second skill she possesses is rapid teleportation. Even on foot, she can be on one end of the street one second and on the other the next, so fast that it's impossible for others to notice.
Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Mingyue successfully sneaked into room 301 of the cliffside hotel.
When Lulu opened the door and saw Jiang Mingyue standing there as promised, she burst into tears of anger.
"Sister Jiang, you really came..."
Jiang Mingyue went inside and closed the door behind her. "Why are you crying, child? I always keep my word."
Although Jiang Mingyue was only a few years older than Lulu, Lulu always felt that Jiang Mingyue spoke in a way that was too mature, like an elder in her family.
Lulu felt inexplicably pampered, and she obediently followed behind Jiang Mingyue. "Sister Jiang, shall we begin now? Can I watch from the sidelines?"
The room was quite spacious and had a floor-to-ceiling bay window. The clothes, shoes, and socks displayed on the other bed were all from international brands. No wonder that girl was easily targeted.
Jiang Mingyue sat down on the sofa chair next to the bed. "Tell me first, why do you think it would be useful to come to me?"
Lulu stood opposite Jiang Mingyue and told her about the incident she had seen online where Jiang Mingyue saved someone on the subway.
So that's how it is. In her eagerness to save people, she didn't think much about anything else. But even though she was disguised like that, how did some sharp-eyed fans still recognize her?
Well, blame it on the fact that she was live-streaming.
"It's quite a coincidence that you discovered this. You can watch from the sidelines, but you have to keep it a secret for me. Can you promise not to tell anyone else?"
Lulu was overjoyed to be able to share her secret with her favorite celebrity and nodded eagerly.
"Sister Jiang, I swear in my own name that if I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning!"
The girl spoke quickly and recited the oath once. Jiang Mingyue did not stop her. "Okay, your oath is valid with me. If you break the oath, you will suffer the consequences."
Lulu was shocked. Backlash? She should be struck by lightning.
Lulu wasn't afraid and patted her chest to assure everyone, "I know, I won't regret it."
"There's no need to be so nervous, have a seat." Jiang Mingyue took out the hair tie that Lulu had given Tingting and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.
"Since you know about the art of incantation, you must have heard that there are many mysterious things in our Chinese Taoism, one of which is called the art of chasing people."
Although Lulu didn't know what "pursuit techniques" were, it didn't stop her from nodding earnestly.
Jiang Mingyue took out a talisman from her pocket and quickly folded it into a paper crane. Unfortunately, she hadn't brought cinnabar with her during her trip abroad, so she used a silver needle to prick her index finger and wrote a character on the paper.
The font is too complex for Lulu to recognize.
Jiang Mingyue then silently recited a passage of scripture, and pointed her sword at the origami crane, "Rise!"
The next second, Lulu's worldview shattered and reassembled, and the origami cranes on the coffee table slowly flapped their wings and flew up.
Jiang Mingyue handed over the hair tie, and the origami crane circled around it once before flying out the window.
Lulu thought it was over, but then she saw Jiang Mingyue take out three ancient coins.
Jiang Mingyue handed the coin to Lulu, asked Lulu to put her hands together, silently recite her classmate's name, and then toss it three times.
"You and Tingting are very close. You can sense each other. The I Ching and Bagua are profound and wonderful. The hexagrams can determine whether she is in danger or in mortal danger."
Lulu quickly did as she was told, tossing the toss three times in one go.
Jiang Mingyue glanced at the divination result and frowned.
Lulu asked nervously, "Sister Jiang, does the divination mean something bad is going to happen?"
Jiang Mingyue shook her head, "Although it's a very bad divination, your classmate is not in immediate danger."
In fact, Jiang Mingyue had summoned Betley before leaving home, asking Betley to go around and find out what Zhongyin Sheng could do.
Betley is a being who has existed for over three hundred years in the intermediate state. With the support of her magic, this guy summoned wandering spirits from the local area and the surrounding region, confirming that Tingting is still alive.
While waiting for the origami cranes to return, Jiang Mingyue carefully inquired about how Tingting met the boy.
Lulu dared not hide anything and told the whole story.
"That guy seemed to be a guest of the cliffside hotel as well. After we gave you the postcard that night, we went to the hotel bar for a while and met him there."
“I had a stomachache and rushed back to the toilet. Then I received a message from Tingting saying that the boy took her out for a night stroll.”
“Tingting is my high school classmate, and we went to university in the same city. She’s a pretty open-minded person, so I didn’t feel comfortable stopping her. I just told her to come back early, preferably before 10 p.m., and to call me if anything happens.”
"Around 10 o'clock, Tingting sent me a photo of her kissing the boy, saying that she wouldn't be coming back that night, and I felt bad about disturbing their time together."
"Then this morning when I woke up around 7 a.m., I had a missed call from Tingting on my phone. It was around 5 a.m. I called back, but no one answered."
“I sent her messages, but she didn’t reply. I couldn’t reach her by noon, so I started to panic. I thought that no matter what these two were up to, they should have woken up by noon. I felt something was wrong, so I called the police.”
After Lulu finished explaining the whole story in one breath, she hurriedly asked Jiang Mingyue, "Sister Jiang, do you think Tingting might have encountered human traffickers?"
Lulu once watched a foreign movie about a girl who was deliberately approached and asked out by a handsome guy, but the guy was actually a bad guy and the girl was sold to some countries and forced to work as a prostitute.
Jiang Mingyue gestured to Lulu not to panic, even though Lulu's guess was very close to the truth, "Don't make wild guesses."
Half an hour later, the paper crane flew back, its body damp.
Paper cranes can travel a hundred miles. Jiang Mingyue doesn't have a cell phone. "Lulu, check the weather forecast on your phone. Where did it rain today?"
Bass, the capital of West Island, is Mafia's territory.
Jiang Mingyue had a bad feeling. They had originally planned to avoid the western ring road, but now it seemed that the plan had to be changed.
Lulu noticed Jiang Mingyue's serious expression and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but ask, "Sister Jiang, was Tingting taken to Ba City?"
"Yes, she's in Bashi."
Besides the blood from her fingertips, there was also a faint smell of blood on the paper crane, which could only be Tingting's. Jiang Mingyue didn't tell Lulu, so as not to make Lulu too frightened.
The city of Ba was once under the control of Mafia, and its influence was enormous, even infiltrating various places, making it more difficult to find people, and they may even be passed around.
Where are Tingting's parents? Have they contacted you?
Logically speaking, Tingting's parents should have known about Lulu's request for help on the live stream, or they should have been on the plane to get there. If Tingting's parents had intervened, the local pimps might have been able to do something.
“Sister Jiang, Tingting’s parents passed away unexpectedly when she was young. She only has her elderly grandmother at home. Her aunt is too old to fly. She contacted me yesterday and asked for my help to find her.”
Jiang Mingyue sighed softly, "Very well, I will help you rescue Tingting."
Since we have already accepted the cause and effect, how can we give up halfway through doing something?
Lulu's eyes widened. She thought that once Jiang Mingyue helped her find the general direction of Tingting's current location and confirmed whether her life was in danger, she could then ask the police for help herself. She didn't expect that Sister Jiang would say that she would find the person herself.
Lulu's hands trembled as she choked out, "Sister Jiang, won't this interfere with your recording?"
Lulu felt very embarrassed, but she also hoped that Jiang Mingyue could continue to help. With Sister Jiang's help, things would definitely be much easier.
Jiang Mingyue comforted her, "Ba City is the capital of Xidao. Since we're here, it won't matter if we delay for a day or two. You should get some rest tonight. I'll go back first, and we'll drive to pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Jiang."
"No need to be so polite. I'll be charging you for finding your classmate."
Lulu was surprised by Jiang Mingyue's bluntness. For a low-key metaphysical master like Sister Jiang, it was only right to accept payment, since it was a matter of life and death!
Lulu immediately agreed, "Sister Jiang, I'll agree on behalf of Tingting. She has plenty of money. If she doesn't give it, I'll give it to her."
Jiang Mingyue chuckled. This child.
The next morning at seven o'clock, Wei Lai and the other four got up on time for breakfast.
Wei Lai asked the production team if they had received a call from Lulu.
While setting up the camera, the production crew replied, "We asked the people at Changyou, but we still haven't found Lulu's classmate."
Jiang Mingyue drank a glass of milk, looked up at Wei Lai and the other three, and said, "Let's not go to Mexico City for now. We still have time. Let's go to Ba City first. After all, it's the capital of West Island. We should go and see it. What do you think?"
Don Juan frowned, "So that girl is in Palermo."
He didn't know when Jiang Mingyue returned last night. He shared a room with Wei Lai, but the hotel was small, and her room was next door, so it was inconvenient for him to go to her.
Wei Lai and her two companions, along with the program crew and viewers in the live stream, were stunned.
What's going on? Weren't we supposed to go directly from Melbourne to the mainland? Why are we going to Batavia instead?
Family members, I've reminded you all before, Sister Jiang never talks nonsense.
[It seems Sister Jiang has found Lulu's whereabouts.]
[What's wrong with the person upstairs? Does Jiang Mingyue know how to tell fortunes or divine the future?]
[Program Production Team: Why is Teacher Jiang not following the script?]
The architecture and scenery in Bavaria are beautiful and worth a visit.
[Just a heads up, that's Mafia's territory.]
[You're crazy! This is modern society, not a movie. Do you suspect Lulu has been kidnapped by Mafia?]
