A ride-hailing car of Didi Chuxing drove to Hakka Alley. The street scene outside the car flew by, and countless lights formed a bustling picture.
There seemed to be no night in Guan City, and the life here seemed to be voluptuous.
"Those two are a nuisance. I don't like them." Qing Zhui broke the silence in the car.
"The society wors.h.i.+ps power and money," Ning Tao stated with a smile, "and people are used to measuring the value of a person with money and power. If a person has no such value, or has very little of it, the so-called upper cla.s.ses usually despise him. Even if they don't show it, they despise the person in their heart. You've been in the cave too long to know the outside world. You'll gradually understand."
Qing Zhui gave a sigh and said, "I'm so lacking in knowledge. My sister really has something. I wish I was as capable as her."
"You're two different people," Ning Tao console her. "You're also very capable. Don't put yourself down."
Qing Zhui smiled, leaned into Ning Tao's ear, and whispered, "Of course I'm also very capable. I'm your demon slave, the nurse of the Sky Clinic. I'm a woman with a career."
Ning Tao suddenly felt that he had no need to comfort her.
Once back in the rental room, Ning Tao was stunned by what he saw.
Qing Zhui did change the sheets and covers, but they were bright red. In addition, the whole room was arranged so delightfully that he felt as if he were in a matrimonial room. If the word double "Xi" which meant happiness and was usually used in a wedding was pasted on the room, it would really become a matrimonial room.
"Do you like it?" Qing Zhui asked.
Ning Tao asked helplessly, "If I said no, can I change it?"
"I also bought pink sheets and quilt covers. Do you want the pink?" Qing Zhui asked.
Ning Tao said hurriedly, "No, forget it. Red is okay. It's late. Go to bed early."
"You've had a hard day. Why don't I give you a ma.s.sage?" Qing Zhui suggested.
"No, no." Ning Tao was afraid to let her ma.s.sage him.
Qing Zhui, a little disappointed, said, "If you want me to ma.s.sage you, knock on the wall. The wall is very thin. I can hear you in my room."
Ning Tao nodded and went in and closed the door. Then he took off his shoes and lay on the bed taking out his phone. He typed "New World Technology" into Baidu's search bar and began his search. A second later, a lot of information about New World Technology popped up.
Ning Tao clicked on the page of Baidu Baike, which read, "New World Technology was founded by Bai Sheng in 2000 and is currently run by Bai Jing. The company is committed to the research and production of microelectronics products. Its total a.s.sets are 1.1 billion..."
And then there was a whole bunch of introductions to New World Technology.
Ning Tao was filled with curiosity. "Bai Sheng, who is this man? Why have I never heard Bai Jing or Qing Zhui mention this person? Is he a snake demon, too? And is he their elder or..."
He thought, becoming more and more curious about the man. He could not help raising his hand to knock on the wall. The main structure of the wall behind the bed was wood, plastered with plaster and painted with imitation porcelain, and then wallpapered, so that it looked firm but was actually very thin. Just now, he heard Qing Zhui walking and going to bed in the next room.
In the end, he didn't knock on the wall. If he called the green snake demon to his room to talk at bedtime, it would definitely do something embarra.s.sing to him. In that case, he would end up "suffering". So why should he bother?
Subsequently, he searched Li Xiaofeng and found a lot of relevant information.
He clicked on one of them, which read, "Li Xiaofeng, son of Li Jianye, chairman of United Communications, is a top student of Beidu School of Economics. He studied in Cambridge, UK, and got a master's degree in economics. After returning home, he became CEO of United Communications, with family a.s.sets of 4.5 billion..."
Li Xiaofeng was an unusually lucky person and well born. He held a master's degree in economics in Cambridge. After he returned from overseas study, he became the CEO of his family company, with billions of capital for him to display his ambition. He really had an unlimited future. People like him did have something to be proud of.
Then Ning Tao looked up Xin Zhiyu on the Internet.
Baidu Baike said, "Xin Zhiyu, son of Xin Changjiang, chairman of Grand Dream Company, is the CEO of Grand Dream Company, executive director of Guan City chamber of commerce, with family a.s.sets of 5.1 billion, graduated in business from Gang Island University..."
Just like Li Xiaofeng, Xin Zhiyu was also an unusually lucky person. He was excellent in every aspect. In the face of such a man, most women would try their best to please him.
Ning Tao thought to himself, "Those two probably don't know who they are doing business with. If they know that Bai Jing and Qing Zhui are snake demons, do they still dare to have improper desires for them? What's more, should not those pract.i.tioners and demons attach importance to cultivation? Why Bai Sheng and Bai Jing are making money and doing business? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
His curiosity about Bai Sheng was growing.
Then he browsed the news for a while.
A piece of news caught his attention. It was about a missing freshman girl named Jiang Tingting. Jiang Tingting had been missing for three days and police had been investigating, but had yet to come up with any leads. The news appealed to the public to provide clues and help with investigation. The news also attached the girl's photo. Jiang Tingting was a very quiet and pretty girl.
Ning Tao frowned and muttered, "Having been missing for three days, she might meet some bad guy and be fraught with grim possibilities. How sad her parents must be!"
Ring, ring...
His ringtone suddenly sounded.
Ning Tao took a look at the caller id and found it was Lin Qingyu. He hesitated and finally did not answer the phone.
If he answered the phone, what could he say to her?
"Brother Ning, who's calling? Why don't you answer the phone?" Qing Zhui's voice came into Ning Tao's ear through the wall from the next room. It sounded very close. She seemed to be speaking close to the wall.
"It's Qingyu," answered Ning Tao.
"Then you don't answer the phone," Qing Zhui's voice said. "It must be for something bad.
Ning Tao mouthed wordlessly at her.
A minute later, the ringtone stopped.
Ning Tao got out of bed, opened the closet and drew a blood lock in it. He then opened the blood lock and returned to the Sky Clinic.
The human face on the good-evil tripod didn't even open its eyes. The tripod was filled with good energy and evil energy and still, there was more evil energy than good energy.
Ning Tao stared at the good-evil tripod and asked, "Tell me, who's the villain here? How about a hint?"
The good-evil tripod made no response.
Ning Tao shrugged. "You are not only a humbug, but also a mute."
The good-evil tripod still did not respond.
Ning Tao nagged a couple of words and lost interest in talking to himself after venting his emotions. He continued to condense the herbs. Having completed this procedure, he proceeded to refine the Primary Elixirs.
He had been able to refine the Primary Elixirs with great skill. This time he made more than 120 Primary Elixirs, which meant he wouldn't have to worry about using up them for months. He put these elixirs separately into three small porcelain bottles, the remaining one on the ledger of bamboo slips to identify it.
Not surprisingly, it was a Fine Primary Elixir.
Next, Ning Tao sat cross-legged next to the good-evil tripod, and ran the grade two elementary cultivation method over and over again, and practiced his spiritual power. Now he could manage perform the Ladder under Feet, but he could only push one step through the void, just a few meters high. That was not enough. In addition, stronger spiritual power could strengthen the spiritual power airbags of this skill, as well as the power of the Cat Claw Punch. How could he not aspire to greater spiritual power when he was building everything on it?
As there was more evil energy than good energy, Ning Tao practiced very painfully. He gritted his teeth and held on, practicing again and again, losing track of time...
The next morning, Ning Tao returned to his and Qing Zhui's rented house.
Qing Zhui had already made breakfast—she had cooked two bowls of noodles and two eggs.
While having noodles, Ning Tao asked, "Qing Zhui, do you know Bai Sheng?"
Qing Zhui was putting noodles into her mouth when she heard this. Her hands froze, and she even forgot close her opened mouth, but made no sound.
"What's your reaction?" Ning Tao asked.
According to her reaction, he could guess that Qing Zhui knew Bai Sheng.
Qing Zhui closed her mouth and was silent for a moment before answering, "He's Bai Jing and my adopted father. I got demon bone necrosis when I was a child. I was to a waste demon, so he doesn't like me. Thanks to my sister's care, I survived until you appeared, or I would have died. He doesn't like me, and I seldom met him and I didn't want to see him. If there is something, he is always looking for my sister to discuss. I haven't seen him for many years. I... don't ask me."
Every man had a skeleton in his closet.
Ning Tao smiled and said, "I'm just asking. All right, I won't ask you anymore. Let's go out for a walk after breakfast."
Qing Zhui relaxed and smiled again. "Okay, oh, you want to look for the patient who can pay the good-evil rent at the same time."
After breakfast, Ning Tao and Qing Zhui left the rented house. Out of Hakka Alley, Ning Tao saw a missing person notice posted on a lamppost when he was about to hail a taxi.
It was a newly posted notice about a missing teenage girl who had been out of contact for more than a week.
Ning Tao suddenly changed his mind and said, "Qing Zhui, go a place with me."
"Where are we going?" Qing Zhui inquired.
"Yesterday I saw a story about a missing freshman girl. The girl on the notice is missing, too, and hasn't been found for a week. There's something fishy about it. Let's go to the freshman girl's house. Maybe we can help them."
"No problem, but we have an appointment with my sister at the Xin family tonight. Can we make it? The last thing my sister likes is being late or not showing up," Qing Zhui said.
"We can make it," Ning Tao replied. "Let's go to the missing girl's house first."
Half an hour later, a taxi arrived in an old neighborhood. Ning Tao and Qing Zhui got out of the car and headed toward the neighborhood. They just swaggered in and no one stopped them to register.
On the way, Ning Tao dialed the phone number left in the news. It was connected in a few seconds.
"Who is this, please?" A man's voice came from the mobile phone, sounding so hoa.r.s.e that the man seemed to have just cried.
"I'm here to help you find your daughter. Can I meet you and talk to you?" Ning Tao asked.
"Yes, where are you? Do you have any clue?" The man sounded anxious.
Ning Tao replied, "I'm in your neighborhood. Let's talk face to face."
"Okay, I'll come right away." The man hung up.
Ning Tao said to Qing Zhui, "Don't scare him in a minute. If he asks us what we do, we say..." He thought for a moment and continued, "I'm a private detective."
"Got it!" Qing Zhui nodded, and then added, "And I'm your a.s.sistant."
Ning Tao put on a smile on his face. Although Qing Zhui was stubborn in some ways, she was a simple and lovely girl in general. Ning Tao felt really comfortable with her. As for private detective, it was only a whim. He wanted to help, but not as a doctor. Who would trust a doctor to solve a crime? So he had to pa.s.s himself off as a private detective. This was a lie, but it was a white lie.
