Chapter 723 - Write A Chapter On Monday Mourning For The Weekend (2/2)
He then continued, “But I can’t find the origin of the man behind Shu Si.”
w.a.n.g Wu shook her wine pot and said, “With the means of the inspector, there would always be a way.”
“It’s a pity that when I noticed him, he was no longer a target that I could freely put my hands on. With the cover of Qing Feng Enterprise, I can’t do anything to him at will. Through my observation, although his origin is unknown, he is not an enemy that has to be dealt with by fair means or foul.”
“I see… well then, what do you think is the problem with this guy directing Shu Si to see Luo Xiao?”
“I don’t know.” Kong Zhang bluntly said, “I can’t see the problem, but I can’t think of a good reason why he deliberately went to see Luo Xiao. The reason given by the Qing Feng Enterprise is that they want to buy hearts and minds, but I don’t believe it.”
w.a.n.g Wu somewhat didn’t understand. “So? Even if you don’t understand, it’s not something that serious.”
Kong Zhang said seriously, “The things that I can’t understand, have the value to be taken seriously.”
“… Well, you sure are confident. And then what else?”
Kong Zhang thought and said, “The fourth thing is that you called me here.”
w.a.n.g Wu laughed. “Don’t worry, I don’t fancy you, so no need to be anxious about your chast.i.ty.”
Kong Zhang said, “But there must be a reason. So, what did you find out?”
“… Sure enough, just like what I said, suddenly calling you for no reason would certainly make you suspicious of me; Fan Er that bimbo girl insisted on me to try it. She told me that you might be a natural fool…” w.a.n.g Wu sighed. “In simple terms, I have a girlfriend with a very keen intuition. She said that something might happen in the City of Immortals recently. I asked a few people, but they all felt puzzled, so I had to ask you.”
Kong Zhang pondered for a while and said, “Is Fan Er that you refer to one of those women who, together with You Jiu and the others, suddenly appeared in the City of Immortals? What a coincidence, I just want to ask you, who exactly are they? Last I checked…”
“Oh, it’s women’s secret.” w.a.n.g Wu said, “I guarantee that they are all good and pure girls.”
Kong Zhang was speechless for half a day. The guarantee made by the number one cheap person in Nine Regions was really convincing.
“Very well, I’ll put down the matter about these people… But, if you have something new, please contact me in time. At least we can confirm with each other.”
Kong Zhang didn’t ask more questions, but he trusted Fan Er’s intuition.
Because it was guaranteed by the present number one Jindan in Nine Regions.
w.a.n.g Wu thought about it and nodded, “Okay.”
Thus, Kong Zhang picked up the cup and drank the last half of it.
“Last one, I also have a question for you. With your personality, you seldom take the initiative to partic.i.p.ate in these things; usually you would avoid them. Is there any compelling reason this time?”
“Well, this is also a matter of safety for all the people in this City of Immortals. Why do I have to be forced to do it?” w.a.n.g Wu was somewhat dissatisfied with the att.i.tude of the other party.
Kong Zhang was a serious person. Hearing this, he honestly replied, “Because if you do this kind of work in private, no one will give you money.”
“…” w.a.n.g Wu finally had nothing to say. After a long silence, she stood up and said, “Inspector, you still don’t know me.”
After leaving the restaurant, w.a.n.g Wu smiled and looked up to the sky, and then whispered, “Even if no one gives me money, don’t tell me I couldn’t find it myself? w.a.n.g Lu that cheap guy has so much money, yet wouldn’t take the initiative to share it with me a little bit…”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the City of Immortals.
The big boss of Qing Feng Enterprise, Shu Si, who was young but extremely wealthy, was on his way to a hidden residence with vigorous steps.
Looking at his expression, it was as if he was going to the execution ground.
“Alas, the ancient sage has the ‘three humble visits to a thatched cottage’ (Famous episode in the fictional Romance of Three Kingdoms in which Liu Bei recruits Zhuge Liang to his cause by visiting him three times), but I have visited him ten times in a row in three days. Even after he moved, I’m still coming to see him… I am afraid I’ll be branded as a stalker soon.”
As he talked to himself, Shu Si knocked on the door of a small courtyard and then prepared for another rejection.
This was Luo Xiao’s new residence. Previously, he was hara.s.sed by Shu Si everyday in the residence of Four Element Supreme. Last night, he moved within the night to this place. Unfortunately, the people under Shu Si were still watching him. In a word, these acts were indeed the acts of a stalker.
However, unexpectedly, this time, the door opened. Luo Xiao, with a somewhat helpless and amused expression, appeared from behind the door.
“You are so persistent.”
Shu Si forced himself to bear the excitement and joy in his heart and cupped his fists. However, before he could speak, he saw Luo Xiao waved his hand and said, “Come on in, come on in.”
Shu Si hurriedly followed him all the way to the inner room. While walking, he looked around. The yard was simple and dusty. It seemed that the owner of this place had no thoughts of living here for long. Instead, it was just like a shelter.
Thinking of this, Shu Si couldn’t help but bitterly smile. ‘Daoist Master Luo Xiao, I really don’t wish for this either. But for Deadface, I have no alternative. Later on, I will surely compensate for your spiritual loss…’
While thinking, Shu Si followed Luo Xiao into a room.
When he stepped into the room, that was the time he saw a man who shocked him.
A man who looked exactly the same as him.
And then he heard the last words of his life.
“It doesn’t take much time.”
