Qiao Ruoxi was stunned.
She didn't expect that she was just helping Pei Yaori to find out Lin Jing's identity and background, as well as who Pei Junyan's biological father was, but this actually involved China's special investigation team.
"Master, my boss heard that you have helped us many times before and wants to tell you something. Please wait a moment!" Zhuo Yanting's voice came from the other end of the phone again.
Soon, the voice on the other end of the phone changed.
"Ms. Qiao, is that you? I'm Wan Yuan, the Chief of Police for the Special Investigations Unit. Thank you so much for your support of our Special Investigations Unit!"
The man's voice sounded passionate, and Qiao Ruoxi didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Then the corner of his eyebrow twitched: "You're welcome. As a citizen, it's my duty to contribute."
"Ms. Qiao has special abilities in certain areas. Xiao Zhuo mentioned that you are also interested in this case. I wonder if Miss Qiao would be willing to join our special investigation team as an external expert to assist us in handling this case?"
Qiao Ruoxi raised an eyebrow: "Join the special investigation team?"
The man immediately explained, "It's very simple. You just need to sign a confidentiality agreement and help us with some 'professional' issues when necessary. As for the case, we will keep you updated on the progress."
The forces behind Lin Jing are becoming more and more confusing. Joining the special task force is undoubtedly the quickest way to find out the truth behind it.
Qiao Ruoxi thought about it for a while and simply agreed: "Okay."
Wanyuan slapped his thigh and said, "That's really great, Miss Qiao. I thank you on behalf of the country!"
Soon, Zhuo Yanting sent the online agreement and completed the signing.
The cell phone rang again.
"Ms. Qiao, please take care of me in the future!" Wanyuan's voice was obviously more enthusiastic than before.
"Let me briefly discuss the case with you. As you know, our special investigation team doesn't deal with ordinary matters, so this case is also unusual in every way."
"According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the people involved in the case are not ordinary people. In other words, they have special abilities."
"For example, having extraordinary running speed and climbing ability, even being able to scale rocks and walls, walk on water, etc., doesn't that sound incredible?"
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and said "hmm" in agreement.
This is indeed incredible in modern times, but in her previous life, it was a very common thing.
Wanyuan burst into laughter. "As expected of Miss Qiao, you are well-informed. If others had heard these things, they would have been amazed. But Miss Qiao is so calm. It seems that we have found the right person this time!"
Qiao Ruoxi: ...Not really.
"Besides having special abilities, do they have anything else in common?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
"You've hit the nail on the head. These people are like believers in a church. They all have similar flame tattoos on their bodies. Yes, similar, not identical."
"The distinctive feature is that there is an 'S' symbol in the middle of each of these flames."
Listening to Wanyuan's words, Qiao Ruoxi happened to look up.
When the online taxi passed by the big screen in the city center, it happened to face a large "S"-shaped flame logo.
"Are you in the city center?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
"Yes! Our office is right in the city center. Miss Qiao is welcome to visit us!" Wanyuan smiled.
"Look up and out the window. The LED screen on the Gu Building is showing a rotating display of the cosmetics brand, Venus Love. Does its icon meet the distinctive features you just mentioned?" Qiao Ruoxi said lightly.
Wan Yuan and Zhuo Yanting were both stunned.
Wanyuan went to the window with his cell phone, and both of them were shocked.
"How come we didn't notice this before? Quick, go check this brand!"
Soon, Zhuo Yanting found out the results.
"Venus Love is Gu's new cosmetics brand. It was founded by Gu Yan, and the product logo was designed by Gu Yan himself."
Zhuo Yanting and Wanyuan looked at each other.
If this case is really related to the Gu family, then we are in big trouble!
The Gu family is a large and powerful family with complicated internal affairs. If we investigate it, we will probably have to mobilize the entire organization.
"It seems that I have to apply for a special search warrant." Wanyuan frowned and muttered to himself.
At this moment, Qiao Ruoxi, who had hung up the phone, also fell into deep thought.
She had guessed that Lin Jing had a relationship with Gu's since the fashion show in the fall, but she didn't expect it to be such a strange relationship.
Could the fact that Gu Yan would help Lin Jing also be related to this church-like organization behind the scenes?
If Gu Yan is a member of the church, is Grandpa Gu also involved?
Judging from the way Lin Jing treated Zhang Xiaoyue’s father, will that organization treat Gu Xi cruelly as well?
"Does Lin Jing have a flame tattoo on her body? You should be very clear about this, right?" Qiao Ruoxi asked Pei Yaori with her mind.
Pei Yaori choked: "On the surface, no."
Qiao Ruoxi asked in doubt: "On the surface? You wouldn't..."
Pei Yaori's face flushed immediately: "I am a gentleman, unlike my brother. I don't have the habit of watching others take a bath, okay!"
The corner of Qiao Ruoxi's mouth twitched: "This, doesn't seem to have anything to do with being a gentleman..."
Pei Yaori covered his face with his hands, looking self-deprecating: "Okay, I just haven't seen it."
Qiao Ruoxi looked at Zhou Nan, who had been staying with her recently.
Zhou Nan also choked and pointed at Pei Yaori: "I don't have any strange hobbies. I've never seen her without clothes..."
Qiao Ruoxi: ???
Is there something wrong with her, or is there something wrong with them?

Two days later, the filming of "The Substitute Silly Concubine" officially started.
Yuan Hong was temporarily unable to join the group due to some personal matters, so she and Yu Jinghe were each provided with a life assistant and a private RV.
"This is Xiaoyuan. She's already very familiar with our Actor Yu. Xiaoyuan, just continue to follow Actor Yu."
"Okay, Mr. Yuan." The girl looked very capable and agreed immediately.
"This is Xiao Ding, a college student who graduated from the acting department. Please follow Miss Qiao."
"Okay, Mr. Yuan." The boy was a little shy and didn't even dare to look at Qiao Ruoxi.
But he was also very diligent and took the initiative to help Qiao Ruoxi carry the suitcase.
When Qiao Ruoxi lowered her head, she saw an "S"-shaped flame on the boy's fair arm.
Qiao Ruoxi blinked silently.
Is this a coincidence, or are the believers of this church spread all over the world?
Or maybe, he was coming for her?
"Has Xiao Ding got a tattoo?" Qiao Ruoxi asked with a smile.
Xiao Ding was startled, and quickly pulled his sleeves down, smiling even more shyly: "When I was young and ignorant, I just got a tattoo for fun. Now I want to wash it off, but I'm afraid of the pain, so I just leave it there."
Qiao Ruoxi continued to ask casually, "Does this flame tattoo of yours have any special meaning?"
