"Alright, your plan is feasible. Work hard!"
Ding Yujing first discussed with Qiu Xi about her participation in the Century Cup in the second half of the year.
Then, she carefully reviewed the plan Qiu Xi provided. It was indeed worthy of that old guy's disciple, very detailed and reliable.
However, the information accessible was limited. It was unlikely that even the complete questions were available online.
But this girl had thought of it well and had come to him.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Teacher Ding with the rest."
Receiving affirmation, Qiu Xi felt relieved and stood up, bowing to Ding Yujing.
"You silly girl, your master and I are fellow disciples, and we have a very good relationship. Don't be so formal with me."
"Then I won't be polite anymore. My matter is resolved, so I'll go seek advice from Grandma Ge first~"
"..."
His smooth talk failed him at the crucial moment!
At this point, he should have held onto her, asked questions, gotten familiar with her, and then it would be easier to poach from Old Du!
"Professor Ding, it's our turn now."
As soon as Xiao Xi left, Song Daiyao and the other two immediately crowded around, their notebooks already open.
They were not like Xiao Xi; they had many questions.
"Come on, what are your questions?"
Looking at the three eager faces, Ding Yujing was quite happy. He immediately put aside his previous thoughts and began to teach the three students diligently.
"Professor Ding, we..."
And so, the four of them stayed there for almost an afternoon. Seeing that it was time for dinner and that Song Daiyao and the other two's questions were resolved, Qiu Xi mentioned to the two elders that they were preparing to leave.
"Xiao Xi, why don't you stay for dinner at Grandma Ge's before you go back?"
Ge Jiaojie looked at the four young girls packing their things and asked again.
"Grandma Ge, we really have other things to do. We've already bothered you enough today. If we stay for another meal, we won't dare to come again."
It wasn't that Qiu Xi was being too polite, but she really had something to do when she got back. Her cousin Xu Xuanming had already sent word.
Moreover, they didn't really want to trouble Grandma Ge. If they were to have a meal, they should come again after buying something.
After Qiu Xi spoke, Song Daiyao and the other two also chimed in.
Ge Jiaojie looked at the four girls, who indeed seemed to have something to do, and could only mutter to herself, chiding the four girls.
"That's fine then, but you're not allowed to do this next time. Who visits and stays for so long without eating a meal?"
"Okay, we'll definitely stay next time to try Grandma Ge's cooking."
"Yes, Grandma Ge, find some time, and we'll accompany you to pick vegetables and buy meat."
"That's fine too. It's a deal. Let me see, I'll call you girls over when I have time."
Hearing Qiu Xi and Song Daiyao's words, Ge Jiaojie immediately became happy again.
She was already looking forward to it, wishing that day was already here.
"Definitely!"
"Then Grandma Ge, we'll be going now. Bye~"
"Go ahead and be busy."
...
As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Qiu Xi told the other three and then went out.
Her cousin had just told her on the phone that he had a plan worked out and wanted to discuss it with her and Nan Hua.
So, as soon as Qiu Xi went out, she called Nan Hua. Coincidentally, Nan Hua was also investigating. He said he wasn't at school, so they arranged to meet at a house off-campus.
Not long after Qiu Xi arrived, the doorbell rang.
Seeing that it was Nan Hua, Qiu Xi immediately opened the door and pulled him in, "Ah Hua, come in quickly."
"Xi Xi, what does Cousin Xuanming mean?"
It wasn't clear on the phone, so Nan Hua had to rush over.
"I don't quite understand either. Let's wait for cousin to explain it himself."
"Mmm."
As she spoke, Qiu Xi turned on her computer and started a video call with Xu Xuanming.
As soon as the call connected, Qiu Xi asked, "Brother, you didn't finish earlier. You can continue now."
"We received news that Zhao Dongsheng has been quite unlucky lately. He's had a series of incidents. Although he managed to smooth most of them over with money, a few are still causing trouble."
Qiu Xi found it strange, "Is it that coincidental?"
They hadn't even made a move yet, and this person was already showing his flaws?
"Perhaps this idiot has done too many bad things, and even heaven can't stand it anymore."
Although Xu Xuanming also found it very strange, or rather, more than a little coincidental.
However, his people had been observing for several days. Apart from the incidents involving Zhao Dongsheng constantly surfacing, they hadn't seen any other strange movements.
So after much thought, he felt that not making a move at this time would be a true disservice to this rare opportunity.
"Perhaps..."
After listening, Qiu Xi also thought for a long time, but she couldn't figure out anything strange. In the end, she could only attribute it to what her cousin had just said.
While the two of them were thinking, Nan Hua, who was beside them, listened quietly for a long time.
Seeing both of them looking down and not speaking, Xu Xuanming continued, "Well, so we are almost there."
Nan Hua looked up at the other side, "Then what do you plan to do?"
"What I have, plus what you and Xiao Xi sent me before, is actually enough..."
Xu Xuanming paused and then continued, "And Xiao Xi, didn't you say you had three people with you last time? Then we'll let those three guys strike back first, and then I'll send these out stealthily, and that will be enough."
"..."
Qiu Xi looked at her brother, not expecting that he would actually plot against these three simpletons.
It seemed he really intended to crush this dying fish, Zhao Dongsheng, on the chopping board.
Nan Hua didn't think much about it, just nodded, extremely in agreement.
If Zhao Dongsheng was only suspected of kidnapping with a huge sum, he might still have a chance.
But if, as the investigation progressed, something that shouldn't appear, then it would be hard to say.
Moreover, he had also seen that part of the information. At that time, they hadn't expected that this guy not only had an unusual physique but also a huge appetite. He had some involvement in all three major areas.
As for what was hidden behind that, they couldn't continue, and it had to be handed over to professionals.
"Xiao Xi, do you think it's okay?"
Seeing that both of them were just thinking and not speaking, Xu Xuanming had to ask himself.
"Brother, leave the matter of those three people to Nan Hua and me. As soon as things are settled, we'll tell you immediately."
She believed those three would be very happy to get rid of their previous employer, get a large sum of money, and also turn onto the right path.
Xu Xuanming nodded, "Okay, then I'll be waiting for you."
"Alright."
After speaking, Qiu Xi ended the video call.
"Xi Xi, what are you still thinking about?"
Seeing that the video had been off for a while and this girl was still lost in thought, Nan Hua found it strange.
Qiu Xi still decided to be confused, "Ah Hua, do you think it's really Zhao Dongsheng that this guy has been too unlucky lately?"
Nan Hua paused, "Alright, isn't it supposed for people like this to be unlucky?"
"Why are you thinking so much? Let's tidy up and go eat."
"Okay, let's go eat."
Qiu Xi thought about it and decided against it. She would just consider him unlucky!
