The annoying person was gone, the world was quiet, desserts and ice cream were served, and the three of them began to eat, completely unaffected by what had just happened.
Jin Yu thought for a moment, still feeling uneasy, and asked, "Mo Xue, should we call Zhi Zhi? That Liu Shiren is a local, and his family still has some influence."
An Moxue did not directly refuse her kindness, but said, "Let me see first, I'll check it out first." What she didn't say was that the reason she was making trouble for this woman today was because she suspected that this woman was acting as a messenger.
According to Ai Guo, Stephen had several encounters with this Mrs. Liu at the hotel, although sometimes they only brushed past each other. An Moxue had a feeling that there was something going on between them.
That evening, the manager brought over Deputy Section Chief Liu's expense list from the past few years. After reading the list, An Moxue looked at the manager with a half-smile, which made him feel uneasy and completely lack confidence.
After a while, he couldn't withstand An Moxue's pressure any longer and spoke first: "Comrade An, look at this, we are also under the pressure of power, we really have no choice, we are just trying to survive, we really have no other choice."
"In that case, I wonder if my power will be of any use?" An Moxue flung her work ID card, which landed on the table with a "thud".
The manager tentatively picked up the work ID, opened it, and was also dumbfounded by the company and position listed inside. He never expected that Comrade An, who was not very old, held such a high position. He had been negligent a few days ago, only knowing that this person seemed to be extraordinary, but had not investigated in detail.
After reading it, he carefully put down his work ID, looked at An Moxue, and said sincerely, "Comrade An, please tell me what you need, and I will do my best."
"Oh! Come and sit down. Just tell me what you know about the Liu family."
"The Liu family is a long-established family in Shanghai. Before liberation, family members held government positions, and after the country was liberated, they continued to work in the government. Although their positions weren't as high as before, they were stable, much better than many other families. They weathered every political movement unscathed, and even now, many members of the Liu family still hold positions in various departments. Although their positions aren't particularly high, their influence across different units is considerable. Moreover, their family's living conditions have always been good. However, someone in their family once worked in the Cabinet Committee. Back then, how many people didn't make a profit in that place?"
"So, you mean the Liu family is very shrewd, right? And they also have enemies."
The manager smiled awkwardly, saying nothing, yet conveying everything.
"Alright, write down the addresses and family tree of the Liu family, focusing on those who have a grudge against them. Now you can leave! Don't tell anyone what I asked you. If you do, you'll be in deep trouble, and that's not my fault."
The manager didn't dare to object and obediently did as she asked, regardless of what she wanted to do with those things.
When Liu's wife returned home, she didn't take the matter too seriously. However, when Liu got off work that evening, she grumbled at him, only to be met with a barrage of insults from him: "How many times have I told you? Watch your mouth, don't talk nonsense. Don't you know that loose lips sink ships? What are you so arrogant about? There are plenty of people in Shanghai with higher ranks and more abilities than me. How can you be so confident that I can handle everything? You fat-headed woman!"
She was so frightened that she didn't dare tell the news she heard from the manager, which she had originally intended to tell him, and kept it to herself.
Manager Liu left, and An Moxue held the expense list, staring at it so intently she seemed to have a hole in it, lost in thought.
When Ai Guo returned, he said to An Moxue, "Moxue, I've walked a lot today. No, you have to treat me to a big meal."
“Okay, Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma should be back by tomorrow. After they get back, you should take the two of you and go back to your hometown in the north. Uncle Ma has things to do back there. If you don’t have anything to do, you can wait until before school starts to go back. There are lots of good things to eat in the north. I’ll let you go if you don’t want to leave.”
Ai Guo asked, puzzled, "What about you? Aren't you coming with us? Didn't we agree to go to the North together? Stephen hasn't left yet! Don't you need me to follow you anymore?"
“Something came up and I have to change my plans. Please take good care of my parents. If I hadn’t asked them, I would have faced much more danger when I went to the countryside. Someone will take over Stephen’s affairs, so you don’t need to worry.”
"Alright! It wouldn't hurt to go and see the place where you went to the countryside. You've been raving about how great it is in your letters, and it's making me really want to go and see for myself what kind of place it is that you're praising it so highly."
An Moxue's eyes softened. "It's a nice place. You'll like it. Let's go! What do you want to eat tonight? Order whatever you like."
"real?"
As they spoke, the two of them left the house one after the other.

At night, An Moxue, dressed casually, exited the hotel through the staff entrance.
This time, she went straight to the address the manager had given her that afternoon, searched through each house one by one, took photos to leave enough evidence, and then found a quiet place, went into the space, and started developing the photos.
After developing the photos, I wrote several complaint letters and put all the photos into envelopes.
After taking care of all this, she left the space and delivered the letters to several departments and several families who had grudges against the Liu family. As long as one department investigated, they would be in big trouble.
After finishing these tasks, it was already dawn. An Moxue wasn't in a hurry to go back to the hotel. She randomly picked a breakfast shop in the alley that looked crowded and went in. She ordered a plate of fried dough rings, a plate of shrimp dumplings, a plate of pan-fried buns, and a plate of tofu pudding. The proprietress kindly reminded her, "Young lady, can you finish all this? You should order less! It's not good to waste food."
An Moxue smiled politely and said, "If you can finish it, then go ahead and serve it. I have a big appetite."
After finishing her meal, An Moxue thought the food was delicious, so she ordered some more items from the shop to take away. She planned to store them in her spatial storage when no one was around. Over the years, she had unintentionally collected enough food to last her for a long time.
Back at the hotel, after washing up, I collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
However, when several Shanghai government departments opened their complaint boxes after starting work, they all received complaint letters, which thoughtfully included photos detailing the locations where money, jewelry, and gold were hidden.
Some people who were on good terms with the Liu family, or even those who were closely related to them, wanted to send them a message, but they were targeted by people who were at odds with the Liu family, which made them anxious and helpless.
Several departments held emergency meetings for this matter. Once they were released, they began investigating and adjudicating the case. Some members of the Liu family were taken away, while others were suspended from their duties. They only started to panic when everyone found out.
At the same time, it has caused some people to live in constant fear.
