Xing Yuan froze, her head still fuzzy from the hangover, but she vaguely recalled her absurd actions last night. It seemed she was indeed the one who did it.
Xing Yuan guiltily touched her nose and said with feigned confidence, "Aren't you fine now? How about we just let it go?"
"No! You pay me back!" The boy stubbornly lay on the ground, rolling around like a spoiled brat.
Even though he was the Heavenly Dao and could recreate a dwelling at any time, being hit, even if no one saw it, was still a great humiliation.
"How do I pay you back? Do you want merit?" Xing Yuan tested.
"You have merit?" The boy's eyes instantly lit up, then he pretended to be magnanimous, "Alright then! As long as you pay me back with merit, I'll reluctantly forgive you."
"I can give you merit, but! You also have to help me with something," a smile flickered in Xing Yuan's eyes as she adopted a negotiating stance.
"What favor?" The boy became wary. Although he was an underage Heavenly Dao, he was very intelligent and wouldn't be easily tricked.
"Don't worry! You are the Heavenly Dao, so this matter will be very simple for you. It's just finding someone," Xing Yuan said earnestly.
Then, she carefully released the soul aura of her sister that she had collected, and for fear of the fragments scattering, she resealed it again in an instant.
"You are the Heavenly Dao, you can sense all life in the small world. Just help me find that person from earlier."
The boy nodded proudly, "This is simple! Everyone's soul aura is unique. Wait for me for a moment, I'll look."
The boy closed his eyes, a faint halo appearing around him, then he opened his eyes again.
"Found her! Money first, goods second! You give me the merit, and I'll tell you her location."
The boy clearly had a good business sense, or perhaps he had seen others doing business often.
"Okay," Xing Yuan nodded, not afraid of him going back on his word. She directly sent a ball of light into the boy's hand.
She had reaped a rich harvest in the previous world, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so generous.
The boy eagerly put the ball of light into his embrace, then sent a beam of white light into Xing Yuan's hand.
"This is what I found, but I didn't investigate deeply, only the general location. However, I saw what she looks like, so you should be able to find her," the boy said, and without mentioning yesterday's incident, he hugged the ball of light and slipped away.
Xing Yuan was silent for a moment, then crushed the white ball, and the information within appeared in her mind.
Then she vanished from her spot, reappearing in her residence in Zhen'an City.
She had previously created a small program specifically to find people. Now that the scope had narrowed, this program could yield results faster.
Ling Chenyue was a public figure and had appeared in the news frequently recently while apprehending criminals. In less than half a day, Xing Yuan had thoroughly investigated her information.
This included some gossip.
Xing Yuan, already weakened from using her powers, nearly vomited blood upon seeing this information.
She had to keep her alias well-hidden. Otherwise, with her wife's righteous and upright identity, wouldn't she end up with a "slay wife to prove the Dao" situation?
However, how should she approach her?
An ancient saying goes: To die under the peony, is to be a romantic ghost!
Could Xing Yuan, a seasoned love-struck individual, be scared? Of course not! She was thinking about how to approach her in a pure, harmless, and unsuspected way.
First, she needed to create a fake identity for herself.
Then, she stumbled upon the face of a certain business tycoon.
She silently took out another phone and dialed an encrypted number, "Qi Ying! I remember you mentioned a promising prospect in Zhen'an City last time, right?"
"Yes! But didn't the boss say he wasn't involved in affairs anymore? That's not right! Boss, why are you running to the mainland? It's not good if something happens!" Qi Ying became anxious.
"Don't worry about it, I'm just here for a vacation. Give me the contact information of the person in charge of Zhen'an City. I have something I need him to do." Xing Yuan's tone carried her usual impatience, successfully silencing Qi Ying on the other end.
Qi Ying dared not say more, only responding, "Boss, wait a moment. This person isn't under my responsibility, I'll go ask for you."
"Okay, three minutes."
In just two minutes, Qi Ying sent over the contact information.
Then he made another call, "Boss, I've explained. Your identity hasn't been exposed. Just say someone from above needs him to do something. The code phrase is 'Jin Xi He Zhao'!"
"Got it," Xing Yuan calmly replied and hung up.
Hmm~ She had figured out how to approach her!
As the captain of the special police team, he would be the first to act if there were any operations!
Wang Yubei was outwardly a tax-paying entrepreneur. Although everyone knew he was involved in illicit businesses, he maintained an air of "the innocent will remain innocent."
Early in the morning, as soon as Wang Yubei arrived at his office, he found his seat occupied. Someone had silently entered the top-floor office.
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he warily looked at the harmless-looking woman before him.
It was as if this woman was the boss. Her feet were casually resting on the desk, her posture extremely relaxed, like the owner. She called to him, "Mr. Wang, is it! Please sit."
He subconsciously obeyed the woman's command and sat down, his expression dazed, "You are..."
"Jin Xi He Zhao, a very old-fashioned code phrase," the woman casually complained, not hiding her identity at all.
Wang Yubei relaxed. She was one of them!
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Two things!" Xing Yuan held up two fingers. "The first is that I hope Mr. Wang can help me create a clean identity. An artist returning from overseas studies would be good. My amateur hobby can be painting, and I know a little piano."
"My pleasure!" Wang Yubei nodded, nervously awaiting her next words.
"The second thing is a bit more troublesome." Xing Yuan stood up, a cold glint in her eyes. "I heard Mr. Wang has been very active with the police lately. I've taken a liking to someone and plan to approach her, so I'll need Mr. Wang to make an introduction."
"How do I introduce you?" Wang Yubei asked.
"Naturally, with my life! Otherwise, how can I show my sincerity?" Xing Yuan chuckled, like a siren who could bring down empires.
However, Wang Yubei was not that emperor, nor did he have the right to refuse her command.
Although Wang Yubei didn't care about his subordinates, he cared about his goods. If they were to put on a show, it had to be real. If they set up a trap that could mobilize the entire police force, his losses would be immense.
Seeing his concerns, Xing Yuan said casually, "Don't worry~ Someone will compensate you for your losses. Moreover, I guarantee that you will be number one in this performance. If you don't believe me, you can confirm with your superior. I have the qualifications."
