When Xu Liang heard Qiao Ruoxi say this, he felt a sense of dislocation.
It was as if Qiao Ruoxi was the superior, and he subconsciously wanted to submit to this girl.
But when he looked at Qiao Ruoxi carefully again, he felt that she was weak and powerless, and could be manipulated at will.
"Joining the church is easy. Steal the Pei Real Estate acquisition project from Pei Yaozhou's safe as your token of loyalty!"
Xu Liang spoke the lines he had prepared, but he still had a strange feeling in his heart.
Qiao Ruoxi laughed sarcastically: "Simple? Are you kidding me?"
"I'm filming here, how could I let you steal the project documents? I'm afraid I'll be driven crazy before I even join the church!"
Xu Liang opened his palm, and on it was a small glass bottle.
"The medicine in here is enough to relieve your current symptoms, but it will only last until the end of this month."
"October 31st is the church's feast day. All you have to do on that day is bring your pledge of allegiance to the abandoned church. The Lord will baptize you, tattoo you with the flame of Mammon, and you'll become a member of the church!"
Qiao Ruoxi looked up at Xu Liang and said, "What's your purpose in doing this? You want me to join you and become enemies with the Pei family. You should at least give me a reason, right?"
"Does this require a reason? The Pei family should not have belonged to Pei Yaozhou. It was him..." Having said this, Xu Liang suddenly paused.
He looked at Qiao Ruoxi warily again, changed the subject and did not continue.
“Do what you should do, know what you should know, the Lord’s will is not something you should inquire about!”
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows, took the glass bottle from Xu Liang's hand, turned and left.
Looking at the girl's back, Xu Liang sighed with lingering fear.
I was almost led astray by Qiao Ruoxi just now.
And there was always a voice in his heart roaring, telling him to stay away from Qiao Ruoxi...

The warehouse door gradually disappeared into the darkness.
"Did anyone follow us out?" Qiao Ruoxi asked with her mind.
"I asked my brothers to patrol the surroundings. There is no one within a hundred miles!" Pei Yaori patted his chest confidently.
After she finished speaking, Qiao Ruoxi straightened her back. The frail girl disappeared in an instant, and her eyes were shining with a light brighter than the stars in the sky.
"Sister-in-law, you were so awesome just now. You fooled Xu Liang so much that he almost asked you to join your sect. How did you do it?" Pei Yaori looked at Qiao Ruoxi with admiration.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled faintly: "That's why I came to see him at this time."
"Fatigue naturally weakens a person's senses, and by repeatedly interrupting his regular thinking, I make him fall into self-doubt and reveal his true colors."
"It's a kind of psychological game. When the other party can't control you, they will involuntarily give out more information."
For example, the flame tattoo is called the Flame of Mammon.
For example, they were not targeting the Pei family, but Pei Yaozhou.
Qiao Ruoxi did not go back to Zhangcheng Hotel directly, but took a detour to a homestay a hundred meters away from Zhangcheng Hotel.
This is the address Zhuo Yanting just sent, and he just arrived.
Zhuo Yanting found it incredible that Qiao Ruoxi went there alone and not only came back safely but also brought back so much information.
"So, as long as we set up an ambush in the abandoned church on October 31st, we can wipe out the base of this so-called church in China in one fell swoop?" Zhuo Yanting danced with excitement.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it is true." Qiao Ruoxi nodded, but felt that something was not quite right.
Zhuo Yanting slapped his head and said, "Great! It was these people who colluded with officials and businessmen that caused my brother's death. This time, I can finally avenge him!"
"Master, please don't worry about this matter. Get out of here as soon as possible. This B&B is a safe house. You can move in here. It won't affect the filming."
Qiao Ruoxi refused: "Now is not the time to alert the enemy. If I move out of the hotel now, it will definitely arouse their suspicion."
"If they cancel the dinner day or change the location, all the work that was done will be wasted."
Zhuo Yanting thought it made sense, but he felt a little guilty.
Qiao Ruoxi also saw what he was thinking and smiled to comfort him, "I was originally the consultant for this case. Besides, I also want to know who Lin Jing is and what this so-called church plans to do to the Pei family."
When they returned to the hotel room, it was already dawn and Qiao Ruoxi called Ren Quan.
"Hello, there's something I want to ask you for help, but please keep it a secret for now and don't tell Master Pei."

In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the month.
Qiao Ruoxi had already thought of a reason to ask for leave, but she didn't expect that Director Jiang would give everyone in the crew a day off on that day.
October 31st is the harvest festival in Zhangcheng.
It is not known when this festival originated. Under the call and guidance of the Zhangcheng County Magistrate, it gradually became one of the most important activities for the local people in Zhangcheng.
Every household slaughters cattle and sheep, and has a bonfire party at night. No matter how important the matter is, the people of Zhangcheng will refuse and go home to celebrate the festival.
Most of the extras in the crew were residents of Zhangcheng. Seeing that many people asked for leave and all gave the same reason, Director Jiang simply gave them a day off.
Qiao Ruoxi was also a little surprised when she heard about this.
Zhangcheng is a gathering place for churches. Could there be some connection between the so-called Harvest Festival and the church's dinner day?
The phone dinged twice, and an email was received in the mailbox.
And a text message from Ren Quan.
[Madam, if the Third Master finds out one day and wants to strangle me, you must protect me!]
The text message was followed by an emoticon of a humble worker.
Qiao Ruoxi curled the corners of her lips, loosened her fingers that had just been counting, slowly stood up, and put on her thick coat.
Pei Yaori followed Qiao Ruoxi nervously.
"Sister-in-law, do you really have to go to this abandoned church? The police have already set up an ambush there. Otherwise, we should stay in the hotel and wait for news..."
Qiao Ruoxi continued walking: "I just had a fortune-teller tell me that good and evil are about to be reversed. If I don't go this time, I'll be in big trouble."
But Qiao Ruoxi couldn't understand why the hexagram gave her such a prediction when everything was going according to plan and there were no omissions?
Pei Yaori saw that Qiao Ruoxi had made up her mind, so he gritted his teeth and raised his arm.
"Listen up, little brothers. This mission is arduous. Our slogan is—"
The three evil spirits said in unison: "Follow orders! Punish evil and promote good! Practice well!"
"Let's go!"
