Chapter 69 What a powerful palm strike! Shaolin Kung Fu…
There are various methods of interrogation, ranging from mild to radical.
Jiang Mingyue believed that getting Mammoth's confession would be a piece of cake for them, it just would take some time.
The reason for inviting her over was simply to utilize her special abilities in the hope of uncovering the truth as soon as possible.
The matter of He Yan really cannot be delayed any longer.
She finished all the work she was owed and was going back to Lingcheng tomorrow morning to check out of her rented apartment. She bought a sleeper berth for the night and went home, because she didn't want those people to find her hometown again.
"Captain Meng, I'll give it a try."
Yan Qian and Captain Meng were waiting for Jiang Mingyue to express her opinion. If she was willing to help, it would be twice as effective with half the effort; if she was not willing, they would not force her.
Captain Meng: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Jiang."
Jiang Mingyue made a request: "Can you skip filming the detailed process?"
In principle, no, but in practice, it can be considered in conjunction with the specific circumstances.
Captain Meng, the captain of the South Island Criminal Police Brigade, coordinated the matter. Jiang Mingyue helped with the questioning process, which did not need to be recorded, but someone had to be present.
Ten minutes later, Captain Meng and Captain Qi from the local area accompanied Jiang Mingyue into the interrogation room.
Yan Qian waited in the outer room, where he could listen in on the entire process.
Mammoth looked up and saw Jiang Mingyue, and suddenly realized that everything connected.
He was too arrogant and underestimated her.
"So it was you. You saved He Yan in Linjiang, and you hurt my people on Nandao."
The mammoth's eyes were bloodthirsty, like a trapped beast, still struggling desperately in its death throes.
Undeterred by the mammoth's ferocity, Jiang Mingyue pulled out a chair and sat down opposite it with an air of authority.
“It’s me. I landed at the Grand Hyatt South Island two weeks ago, and your people have been secretly investigating me ever since. Unfortunately, the people you hired are useless; all they know how to do is monitor me with hidden cameras.”
"You probably don't know how badly I scared those people; they must have felt terrible."
So much information!
Captain Meng and Captain Qi exchanged a glance.
Since his debut, Mammoth has encountered all sorts of women, but he has never met a formidable character like Jiang Mingyue before.
Young in age, yet ruthless, tenacious, and fearless.
How wonderful it would be if we belonged to their organization.
What a pity.
Mammoth leaned back, his gaze filled with disdain and mockery. "Why did they send you when they couldn't get anything useful out of me? You think you're capable?"
Jiang Mingyue stared intently at Mammoth, sizing him up from head to toe.
“Mammoth, I was able to find you accurately in a stadium of tens of thousands of people. You should know that I have some tricks up my sleeve.”
The expressions of everyone present changed; judging by their faces!
Mammoth stared at Jiang Mingyue warily; she knew Eastern metaphysics!
Captain Meng and Captain Qi listened intently, determined not to miss a single word.
Jiang Mingyue slowly explained, "You have been abandoned by everyone since childhood, and you have the face of a cursed lone star. However, your face is very peculiar. You must have been disfigured when you were twenty years old and later had plastic surgery."
"Let me count the number of people who have died by your hand; it's no less than a hundred."
No fewer than a hundred lives lost!
Captain Meng and the others clenched their fists. Damn scum.
Mammoth's expression was starting to betray him, but he was still trying to keep it up.
"So what if you can read faces? Even if you know some mystical skills, what can you possibly predict?!" Mammoth, probably unable to withstand the pressure Jiang Mingyue was deliberately releasing, interrupted her directly.
Jiang Mingyue hated being interrupted. She slammed her hands on the table with a sharp gust of wind, and the tabletop dented a large chunk the next second.
The people standing behind her, including Captain Meng, seemed to be forced backward by a hurricane.
Wow, that's a powerful palm strike!
Mammoth's expression changed drastically as he stared incredulously at the dent in the tabletop.
Who exactly is Jiang Mingyue?! Shaolin Kung Fu?
Jiang Mingyue glanced at the mammoth and said, "You probably don't know that our Taoist sect has a technique called Soul Capture. As long as I put my palm on your head, I can easily obtain what I want to know. Even if you try to numb yourself and hypnotize yourself, you will involuntarily tell me the whole truth."
"That's a technique that's a million times more troublesome. If you don't want to tell the truth, you can try it out."
Soul-capturing magic?!
Mammoth's back was drenched in cold sweat, but he still forced a smile. "Miss Jiang, you're joking. I've never heard of any soul-capturing magic; I've only seen dementors in electronic music videos."
Everyone present was speechless; they had seen Dementors before!
Jiang Mingyue stopped wasting words, put her hands together in a mudra, and silently recited scriptures. In the next instant, her inner energy suddenly appeared!
The mammoth suddenly fell backward, its whole body throbbing with pain, its head throbbing with pain, and its eyes bulging out.
Captain Meng and everyone else looked at each other in disbelief. They had only heard of this special ability before, but now that they were witnessing it firsthand, they were greatly shocked.
The others looked at Captain Meng questioningly, but Captain Meng shook his head and said not to act rashly.
Jiang Mingyue kept a firm grasp on the time; she got up and walked to the mammoth.
"Why are you trying so hard to hold on? Even if you manage to get back, you'll still die."
The mammoth possessed immense willpower and struggled, saying, "I'll die anyway if I stay."
"No, you will die with dignity, you won't be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. And, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your little daughter."
When his youngest daughter was mentioned, Mammoth finally lost his temper and suddenly screamed wildly, "You're not allowed to touch her!"
Everyone was surprised to learn that Mammoth actually had a daughter; wasn't he destined to be a lone wolf?
Jiang Mingyue looked down at the man on the ground, writhing in pain. "I've never bullied women, let alone little girls. If you don't cooperate, I don't mind revealing your daughter's existence. Do you think your superiors will let her go?"
"Do you want her to follow in your footsteps? To spend her whole life unable to see the light of day, destined to be a vile worm in the gutter, hated by everyone."
"If you cooperate obediently now, the two captains can guarantee your daughter's safety. After all, a three-year-old child is innocent."
They even figured out his age when he was only three.
Pinching a snake at its seven-inch mark.
Under Jiang Mingyue's torment and double psychological attack, Mammoth gradually crumbled and finally revealed the behind-the-scenes buyer.
"It's He Chun'an."
Yan Qian was shocked. It was actually He Yan's fourth uncle, He Chunfeng's fourth brother! He had always thought it was He Chunfeng's eldest son.
Jiang Mingyue pressed on, "Who was the middleman?"
Sweating profusely, Mammoth endured the excruciating pain and answered, "Yu Linlin, He Chun'an's lover."
Jiang Mingyue looked out the window, and Yan Qian nodded to her, confirming that Yu Linlin was real.
"Alright, I'm a man of my word. Your daughter is fine for now, and we'll find a way to bring her back to China so she can receive a normal family education. Do either of you captains have any questions?"
Captain Meng replied, "No problem, the child is innocent."
Jiang Mingyue released her protective aura, and the mammoth fainted.
She no longer needed to handle the rest. She told Captain Meng about the general area where Mammoth's youngest daughter lived, and that she would ask Mammoth for the specific location when he woke up.
Captain Meng and the others were very grateful for her cooperation.
Jiang Mingyue stated bluntly, "I accept your verbal thanks, but please do not send out a letter of thanks."
Captain Meng knew that she had retired from the entertainment industry and wanted to live a low-key, ordinary life.
"Miss Jiang, please rest assured, we will respect your wishes. However, I have a favor to ask. If we need such a difficult task in the future, would you be willing to lend a hand again?"
So he tested her several times with this purpose in mind.
Jiang Mingyue answered directly, "Of course, it is my duty to serve the country and justice."
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Mingyue was able to gain official recognition.
Yan Qian personally escorted Jiang Mingyue back to the Grand Hyatt Hotel. On the way back, Yan Qian handed Jiang Mingyue a sandalwood box.
Under Jiang Mingyue's displeased gaze, Yan Qian explained with a smile, "It's not a gift from me. It was Grandpa He Yan who asked me to give it to you. The old man is thanking you for your help, and it's just a small token of his appreciation. Please open it and take a look."
Jiang Mingyue took it and opened it. Inside the sandalwood box was a jade bracelet. The jade bracelet was crystal clear and white, and felt warm and soft to the touch.
The mutton fat jade is estimated to be worth over a million.
"The old man said that you would definitely not accept expensive gifts. You don't need to worry about this jade bracelet if you wear it or if it gets bumped. The He family in Beijing is always ready to welcome Miss Jiang. If you ever need anything from the He family, just ask."
Since things had been said to this extent, Jiang Mingyue couldn't refuse, so she accepted it directly.
"I won't be going to the Jinghua Hotel. Please ask Mr. Yan to let me know."
Yan Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had accepted the gift. "Yes, I will pass on the message for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qian asked again, "Miss Jiang, you won't change your phone number now that you've returned to your hometown, will you?"
Jiang Mingyue raised an eyebrow at him, "Don't worry, Mr. Yan, I know your number by heart."
Instead of mentioning whether or not to change his phone number, she put him in a difficult position.
Yan Qian smiled slightly and stopped dwelling on the matter.
The connections between people are sometimes very mysterious, and he was certain that he and she would have a chance to meet again.
The van stopped in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Yan Qian personally escorted Jiang Mingyue out of the car. As soon as the two of them stood still, they saw two men wearing baseball caps and masks getting out of a motorhome across the street.
"Bright Moon".
Jiang Mingyue turned around and immediately recognized the two as Don Juan and Wei Lai.
They were holding flowers; it was obvious they were there to celebrate her successful performance and congratulate her on her official retirement from the entertainment industry.
Jiang Mingyue walked towards them, smiling and greeting them, "Brother Tang, Brother Wei, thank you for making this trip in the middle of the night."
Don Juan walked past Jiang Mingyue and met Yan Qian's gaze. Yan Qian nodded politely to him, then returned to his car and left first.
Don Juan watched the person walk away, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
Wei Lai handed her the flowers with a smile. "It's no trouble at all. I wasn't the one driving. We thought you were going back to your hometown tomorrow, and we didn't know when we would see you again, so we came over to chat with you for a while."
“Wei Lai said she had a surprise for you and wouldn’t let me tell you.” Don Juan handed over the bouquet of jacaranda and violets.
Jiang Mingyue accepted the flowers they offered. "Thank you for coming to see me off. The flowers are so beautiful, but it's a pity I can't take them on the plane."
Wei Lai smiled and said, "It's alright, we'll take them back later."
The three of them chuckled.
Since Don Juan and Wei Lai couldn't go to her room, they asked her to get into the RV. They didn't want to keep her too long, so they figured half an hour would be fine.
The two men breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that everything on her end had been resolved.
Wei Lai said with emotion, "Mingyue, don't forget us after you go back. Remember to keep in touch and share more photos of your life with us. Your fans have all come to follow us and want us to provide more news about you."
Don Juan poured a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Jiang Mingyue, worried that she might catch a cold tonight due to the temperature change.
Jiang Mingyue smiled upon hearing this, "I will. Isn't there a group chat? After I go home and settle in for a while, I'll invite you all over as guests."
Netizens say that Sister Jiang never talks nonsense!
Wei Lai's eyes lit up. "Then it's settled! Even if you don't invite me, I'll shamelessly come over for a meal whenever I have time. If you need anything, just tell us in the group chat and we'll send it to you by express delivery."
Jiang Mingyue nodded in agreement, "When I need your help, I'll definitely ask for a huge sum of money."
Don Juan and Wei Lai exchanged a smile. They knew her; she wouldn't ask for an exorbitant amount. She was just saying that to put their minds at ease.
As they parted, Jiang Mingyue gave Don Juan and Wei Lai a generous hug.
Don Juan patted her on the shoulder. "Have a safe journey home. Remember to let us know when you get home safely."
I was reluctant to see her leave, but we had to part ways. I hope we can meet again soon.
Jiang Mingyue smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After Don Juan and Wei Lai left, Jiang Mingyue returned to her room upstairs with flowers in her arms.
The Grand Hyatt Hotel also presented her with a parting gift: a set of exquisite celadon bowls and chopsticks.
After working non-stop all day, even an iron woman couldn't take it. Too lazy to pack her luggage, she went to wash up and rest first.
I slept soundly through the night until dawn.
At six o'clock in the morning, she woke up without fail, first called Jiang Yi, then gave her all the flowers and a gourd bracelet, reminding her not to forget their promise.
Jiang should have been used to parting, but this time she suddenly felt reluctant to leave. From now on, she would have family to care about and would no longer wander alone.
"Master, rest assured, I will remember my promise to you."
Jiang Mingyue handed her a bottle of water, saying, "You can contact me anytime if there's an emergency."
Jiang Yi nodded solemnly, not daring to ask for a hug, but only raised his hand to touch Jiang Mingyue's arm.
Jiang Mingyue noticed Jiang Yi's cautious thoughts, smiled helplessly, and took the initiative to open her arms and hug her.
"Keep it up, and I look forward to seeing you in a year."
Jiang's face lit up with joy in an instant, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
Her master was the guiding light in her life. Fortunately, she met her master in time, who put her on the right track.
After checking out of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Jiang Mingyue called a car directly to the South Island Airport.
She sent her luggage back to her hometown by express delivery, carrying only a crossbody bag, and traveled lightly back to Lingcheng.
Just like at the airport gate, Jiang Mingyue activated her privacy settings; to outsiders, she was just an ordinary girl.
On the first day of the New Year's Day holiday, the airport was packed with people. Her plane ticket was for 11 a.m., and it was not yet 9 a.m., so she had plenty of time.
Jiang Mingyue first went to a specialty store and bought a lot of food, asking the store staff to send it to her home by express delivery.
After passing through customs and security, she went to the duty-free shop and bought some skincare products. As for clothes, she didn't buy any. The Sun family couldn't bear to use or wear anything too expensive. She would buy them when she got home.
While waiting to board the plane, two female college students in the seats next to her were so excited that she could hear them.
"Aaaaaah! I snagged a copy of 'Tianxiu' magazine!"
"I got one too! Waaaaah, it's Sister Jiang's first day back in the industry, I miss her so much!"
Ginger powder?
Jiang Mingyue glanced at them without making a sound; they all wore gourd-shaped bracelets on their left wrists.
Jiang Mingyue smiled, "What a small world."
She didn't disturb them, focusing instead on flipping through the newspapers she had bought at the airport.
Jiang Mingyue bought an economy class ticket. The journey from Nandao to Lingcheng takes less than three hours. Now that she has retired from the entertainment industry and has no extra income, she still needs to save money where she can.
We arrived at Lingcheng Airport smoothly and returned to Lingcheng Home at exactly 3 PM.
The landlady's daughter was waiting downstairs on time. Jiang Mingyue quickly handed over the deposit to her, and the landlady readily returned it to her.
"Ms. Jiang, could you please sign your autograph? My daughter is a fan of yours."
Jiang Mingyue smiled and agreed, signed her name on the postcard, and even took a photo with the landlady.
She packed up all her odds and ends, including pots, pans, and other miscellaneous items, along with her clothes, and sent them away; the express delivery arrived the next day.
After finishing everything, Jiang Mingyue, as usual, carried a crossbody bag and hailed a taxi straight to Lingcheng High-speed Railway Station.
She bought a sleeper berth for 8 p.m., slept for four hours, and arrived directly in Huai County overnight.
Huai County is a small county town with a history of over a thousand years, located north of the Huai River.
At the same time, Big Eyes' Weibo trending topic exploded again.
One million copies of the "Tianxiu" New Year magazine sold out online in just one minute, breaking the previous record of 800,000 copies sold.
Jiang Mingyue's Weibo followers surged by five million overnight, breaking the record for the fastest follower growth among celebrities in the past five years.
The magazine takes at least three days to arrive at your door, leaving her fans scrambling online for materials, their thirst unfulfilled.
[On the first day after Sister Jiang retired from the entertainment industry, I miss her, I miss her, I still miss her.]
My mom asked me why I didn't eat lunch, and I said I had broken up with my boyfriend and lost my emotional support.
Dating my boyfriend isn't so great anymore.
[Of the nine guests on the variety show, only one sent a New Year's greeting.]
[Since Sister Jiang has just retired from the entertainment industry, Teacher Wei and the others certainly don't want to exploit her fame so quickly. Family members, don't worry, let's wait patiently; we'll see what happens eventually.]
Sister Jiang must be on her way home by now.
I'm really looking forward to bumping into Sister Jiang, but unfortunately I don't know where she's from.
If fans of Jiang encounter Sister Jiang, please do not reveal her destination. She cares about us, and we should respect her as well.
The online accolades and excitement were no longer relevant to Jiang Mingyue. She uninstalled the Weibo app, but did not delete the account, leaving her fans with a glimpse of her past.
Yan Qian kept her word and didn't let He Yan bother her again.
When Jiang Mingyue arrived at the high-speed rail station, she went to have dinner first, and randomly picked a fast food restaurant to eat at.
The high-speed rail station was packed with people, with every seat at the entrances filled and tourists sitting directly on the floor.
The train bound for Huai County stopped at Gate 22. Huai County is an ancient county town with a history of thousands of years. Every New Year's Day, it attracts many tourists, and the queue to enter the station is very long.
Jiang Mingyue lined up at the end and sent the bus schedule information to her cousin, Sun Aijun, who would then drive to pick her up.
The Sun family lived in Dahuai Village, a rural area of Huai County.
It takes an hour to drive from the county's high-speed rail station to Dahuai Village. Sun Aijun was worried about her taking a taxi home in the middle of the night, fearing she might be kidnapped, so he insisted on picking her up from the station himself.
Jiang Mingyue boarded the train ten minutes early. When she found her sleeper compartment, there was already a couple in the compartment, who were playfully fighting on the lower bunk on the left.
When they saw her come in, they immediately separated, and the boy went back to the lower bunk on the right.
Jiang Mingyue bought the upper bunk on the girls' side. She took off her shoes, turned them upside down and placed them under the lower bunk, then put on shoe covers, stepped on the railing, and easily climbed up.
The girl in the lower bunk saw that this girl, who was wearing a black hoodie, a baseball cap, and a black mask, was particularly well-dressed, and her mood improved as well.
The worst thing about traveling in a sleeper berth is encountering unclean people.
Five minutes later, a short, stout man walked in carrying a suitcase.
The short, stout man was very outgoing. Seeing that there were already three passengers in the carriage, he quickly greeted them with a smile.
"Excuse me, I'm getting off at the final stop, Beixian. I snore when I sleep, so I'll have to trouble you three to bring some earplugs."
Since the short, stout man had taken the initiative to greet them, the young couple felt too embarrassed to say anything; after all, you can't refuse a smiling face.
"It's alright, we'll be in Qi County."
Qi County is two stops before Huai County, a two-hour journey. The short, stout man went to sleep there.
Jiang Mingyue didn't reply, but sat cross-legged on the upper bunk and sent a message to Sun Aijun.
"Cousin, the car has started moving."
Sun Aijun smiled back at her and told her not to sleep if she could avoid it, "You can't be too careful, Yueyue, be careful."
At 10:05, the train stopped at Qixian North Station. The couple in the lower berths got off with their luggage. The short, fat man opposite Jiang Mingyue was still awake. He was wearing headphones and watching a movie, occasionally chuckling to himself.
A moment later, two girls came in carrying suitcases. One of them, a girl with long curly hair, was particularly beautiful. She was wearing a bright pink sweater and a red plaid pleated skirt, with over-the-knee boots. She looked fashionable and stylish.
The girl's companion, who had short hair and a straightforward personality, smelled the stench emanating from the short, fat man in the upper bunk and asked to switch carriages.
The curly-haired girl plopped down on the lower bunk of Jiang Mingyue's. "Xiao You, don't bother. The train is full during the holiday. Just bear with it."
Seeing this, the short-haired girl named Xiaoyou had no choice but to sit down. "Fine, I'll wear a mask."
Young girls usually like to stay up late. The two girls in the lower bunk were probably tired from traveling. After making their beds, they fell asleep quickly.
Around 11 p.m., the noise outside gradually subsided, with only a few scattered footsteps.
Fifteen minutes later, a rustling sound came from the opposite bed.
The short, fat man quietly sat up, stealthily climbed off the bed, and checked the breathing of the curly-haired girl and then the short-haired girl. After confirming that they were both asleep, he couldn't wait to take off his clothes and start by groping the curly-haired girl.
The short, stout man had just climbed onto the bed when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back. Someone had stepped on his back, giving him a hard blow, and he fell to the ground in pain.
He bumped his head on the edge of the iron bed and immediately got a big bump.
Author's Note: [Laughing out loud][Laughing out loud] Hahaha, let's start the next part!
