Chapter 81
Assisting the police in their investigation is out of the question; where is she supposed to find someone to take the place of the magician and communicate with the police?
not to mention……
The police came looking for her more likely because they couldn't find this "friend" and were trying to get information out of her.
Chu Muchao insisted that he had never met this friend and that they had always communicated online.
Finally, she asked worriedly, "Is the investigation so urgent because... my friend has done something wrong?"
Shen Ting waved his hand: "Of course not, it's just that he is a rare talent. Since President Chu hasn't met him either, there's nothing we can do about it."
Having said that, Shen Ting stood up and prepared to leave with her men.
Chu Muchao stood up and shook hands with Shen Ting again.
“If there’s anything we can do to help, Chief Shen, you can contact me. I’ll try to contact my friend and ask her if she has any ideas. We’re happy to help the police with their cases, but as for our capabilities… Chief Shen, please don’t have too high expectations of us. My friend was just helping me out this time.”
"Okay, Mr. Chu's words are enough."
Shen Ting patted Chu Muchao's hand, "You are a promising young man."
Chu Muchao saw Shen Ting off.
Turning back to the office, I heard my secretary say that she was trending on social media again.
Someone took a picture of two police officers getting out of a police car and entering the MZ building and posted it online.
I don't know what happened, but I suddenly saw police officers today.
The incident, which lasted only a few tens of minutes, sparked a lot of discussion.
Some speculated that the MZ Group had finally been investigated, while others guessed that Chu Muchao had been arrested for keeping a male model as a mistress.
Sitting at his desk, Chu Mu, sipping his tea milk through a straw, looked at himself: ?
What does this have to do with her?
Xiao He asked, "President Chu, do we need to clarify something?"
Chu Muchao waved his hand: "No need, the official account can just post a picture of the banner. There's no need to attract traffic or create hype. Just make a record at this point in time."
Xiao He understood: "President Chu, you suspect something within the company..."
Chu Muchao raised his index finger and placed it in front of his lips.
"Shhh."
-
In the afternoon, I finally had a rare moment of leisure.
The warm afternoon sun shone through the glass onto the rocking chair.
Chu Muchao lay on the rocking chair, gently swaying.
Enjoying a leisurely time under the sun.
Qi Qingya, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time, suddenly called.
Chu Muchao turned over, squinted to see the name on the screen, and then lay back down.
The phone rang for a while before it was automatically disconnected.
A few minutes later, a second call came in.
Chu Muchao got up, turned off the mute function, and went into the rest room inside.
[Miss Mu, it's wise not to answer her calls right now. She's in a desperate situation with no way out; her family wants to send her back abroad. Getting involved will only cause trouble.]
Chu Muchao: Hmm... What's her situation right now?
【^-^ Yes, Miss Mu Mu wasn't paying attention to her and doesn't know what happened to her.】
A semi-transparent panel popped up and appeared in front of Chu Muchao.
Chu Muchao glanced at it, reached through the semi-transparent panel, took out a book from the cabinet, and checked the information on the panel as he walked out.
Qi Qingya originally held a portion of the property, and her recall to the country was also to fight for the right of inheritance.
Qi Qingya's connections and assets posed no threat to others, and initially no one took her seriously.
The elders in the family wanted to arrange a marriage between Qi Qingya and other suitors, which is why other competitors had designs on her.
Later, photos and videos of her partying in nightclubs were leaked, and she was involved with several men. She was chased and verbally abused by fans of one of the male celebrities, who even followed her to her old home and threatened her with paint spraying.
Her elders locked her up and scolded her, forbidding her from leaving the house until the matter was resolved.
This incident also exposed her history of drug use.
She has now been completely expelled from the family, all her assets have been frozen, and all ties have been severed.
Qi Qingya's predicament was both expected and unexpected.
During her studies abroad, Qi Qingya loved to have fun, but she was also very smart and always had a drive to break through the fog.
The last time we met, she had completely lost that drive.
She's in such a miserable state now...
She should have given Su Qian a heads-up when she discovered his intentions.
【It's no use. It was too late then, have you forgotten?】
Chu Muchao: ...
Don't overthink it; what's done is done, and you can't change it.
Chu Muchao: Yes, I know.
It's just a little regrettable.
"Ding, ding, ding—"
A series of notification sounds interrupted Chu Muchao's thoughts.
She glanced at the phone on the small table in front of the French windows; it lay there quietly, without making a sound.
The sound came from the computer speakers.
Chu Muchao hesitated before walking toward the desk.
The system prompted.
[This is a message from Qi Qingya. Do you want to see it?]
Let's take a look.
She was able to avoid Su Qian's trap thanks to the system's prompts, but Qi Qingya was not so lucky.
[Honey, I'm going back to school soon. Want to get together again?]
You're really busy these days, you often don't reply to messages.
How about we meet up tonight?
[Chu Muchao, is it because I'm not as good as you anymore, and I was kicked out of the house, that you don't want to have anything to do with me anymore?]
Chu Muchao frowned as he read this.
A year ago, she wouldn't have believed that these words would come out of Qi Qingya's mouth.
Chu Muchao opened the chat box and had just started composing a message when Qi Qingya called again.
Having clearly seen her typing, Chu Muchao could no longer ignore it and answered the call.
Qi Qingya's voice immediately came through the phone's receiver.
"Hey, where are you?"
Chu Muchao said, "The company."
Qi Qingya scoffed: "Shouldn't a CEO be very leisurely? What CEO is as busy as you? Do you have to do everything yourself?"
Chu Muchao replied, "No, it's just that I've only just taken office, and there are some work processes that I need to go through myself to familiarize myself with."
Qi Qingya: "You're really speaking with such conviction now, it sounds so real. How about we get together tonight?"
"Today, I..."
Just as Chu Muchao was about to politely decline, Qi Qingya immediately interrupted him.
"Don't try to find some excuse to refuse me. I'm about to leave, and you still don't want to have a drink with me? I'm really going to cry."
Chu Muchao sighed in frustration.
Miss Mu Mu, if you really can't refuse, please say yes.
Chu Muchao: It feels like a trap.
"It's alright, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you. But you'll need to redeem two items in the shop first."
Chu Muchao said, "Alright, what time tonight, where, and who else?"
"Hey, you little brat, I knew you wouldn't refuse me!" Qi Qingya said happily. "When can you leave? I'll come pick you up."
Chu Muchao: "Okay, I'll call you when I'm done."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Muchao sat back down at his desk and checked the item exchange page in the in-game store.
Chu Muchao: What items do I want to exchange for?
[The third page features a "portable audio/video recorder," and the last page features a "universal wish card."]
Following the system's instructions, Chu Muchao found the two items.
The "All-Purpose Wish Card" requires 1000 points to redeem.
The "Portable Audio/Video Recorder" requires 100 points. Once used, it allows you to summon a virtual machine that is invisible to everyone except the magical girl herself, enabling you to record footage from all angles.
Both items have been redeemed, and the points displayed in the upper right corner show "77" points remaining.
I almost ran out of points, but thankfully I learned a new organization technique.
I gained a lot of points after using it once.
Chu Muchao: What's the difference between this wish card and the previous one? This one has so many more points.
Yes, it makes a big difference to me. ^-^ Thank you, Ms. Mu Mu.
oh.
Since it works well for the system, then it's OK.
It's for the system anyway.
After exchanging the items, Chu Muchao retrieved the semi-transparent attribute panel.
There wasn't much to do in the afternoon.
Since she took office, meetings that could be omitted have gradually been stopped. Now, the only things that come to her are very important and urgent tasks that she has to handle.
What should she do to pass the time?
Just as she was worrying, Chu Wen's video call suddenly popped up, startling her.
Chu Muchao answered the call and saw Chu Wen on the other end of the video call.
It must be at the airport, with people coming and going behind me.
Chu Muchao asked excitedly, "Brother, are you coming back?"
"Yes, I'm going through security." Chu Wen paused, then asked, "Do you have a party tonight?"
Chu Muchao blinked, his smile freezing on his lips.
"Brother, are you listening to my phone?"
Chu Wen lowered his eyes; the scenery and people behind him were rapidly receding into the distance.
They seem to be walking quite fast.
Chu Muchao's smile faded: "Then that should be it. Why are you asking me if you already know?"
Chu Wen said coldly, "Don't go. Her situation is complicated right now. Don't get involved."
Chu Muchao said, "Well, you heard what she said. As a friend, I couldn't refuse."
Someone was talking to Chu Wen beside him.
Chu Wen frowned, dealt with the others, and then said to the camera, "In short, don't go. Chaochao, listen to me."
Chu Muchao asked, "Where did you come from? I see a lot of people behind you wearing summer clothes. Did you go out for fun?"
"No, it's work," Chu Wen said in a deep voice. "Don't change the subject. I hope you'll behave this time, Chaochao."
"Okay, are you going home for dinner?"
Chu Muchao's answer sounded like an agreement.
The gloom on Chu Wen's face also dissipated considerably.
"We'll probably get back in the early hours of the morning. Let's have breakfast together tomorrow."
"good."
Chu Muchao waved at the camera and said sweetly, "Goodbye, brother, have a safe journey."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Muchao got up and put on his clothes.
Miss Mu Mu, are you planning to leave now?
Chu Muchao: Let's finish this quickly. Let's see what Su Qian still wants to do with Qingya. Once this is resolved, she can be free too.
【^-^ I thought Miss Mu Mu was going to be her brother's obedient little sister, but it turns out it was all a cover-up.】
Chu Muchao dialed Qi Qingya's number.
"Come pick me up."
