Qiu Lingruo tilted her head in confusion. Her job was to be an intelligence peddler. She would help whoever gave her more money. Sometimes, when she was willful, she would collect money from both sides and give them information. She would watch the two sides fight to the death like two little puppets.
She was good at using information, but she was not good at guessing people's intentions. Naturally, she could not understand Kong Xiuyao's concerns.
However, since it was Kong Xiuyao's order, she would obediently follow it even if it was to investigate something as barbaric as the underwear of the Black Bull lover's second aunt!
"Master, I understand. I'll go now. Leave the door open for me tonight!" Qiu Lingruo said.
"Stay at your senior brother's place tonight. It might be just right when you come back tomorrow," Kong Xiuyao said casually.
"Huh?" Qiu Lingruo didn't understand what he meant and wanted to ask again, but she saw Kong Xiuyao waving at her. She suppressed her thoughts and turned to leave.
Kong Xiuyao stood in front of the door and waited until he could no longer see her before entering the house. He happened to bump into Shen Feishang, who was carrying the dishes out of the kitchen.
"Xiuyao, why are you standing in the courtyard? Hurry up and enter the house to eat. Huh? Where did Sister-in-law go?" Shen Feishang asked as he stood under the roof with stir-fried vegetables in one hand and braised pork ribs in the other.
"She has something to do at home. Let me help you." Kong Xiuyao took the braised pork ribs from him and felt that the bottom of the plate was still a little hot.
Shen Feishang lifted his chain and said, "Why is she in such a hurry? A girl…"
He originally wanted to say, "It's not safe for a girl to roam at night." However, he recalled the scene of Qiu Lingruo beating up Song Ding. Three to five men might not be Qiu Lingruo's match. He changed his words and said, "How did she go back? She didn't hitch a ride."
"It doesn't matter. She has her own way." Kong Xiuyao was used to letting his disciple grow, so he pushed Shen Feishang into the room to eat.
Ever since he returned, every meal felt like the new year. Kong's parents had been secretly protected for so many years and their lives had been smooth sailing. They had saved a lot of money and were richer than most people in the village.
However, they were used to being thrifty and kept all their money. Now that Kong Xiuyao had returned home, they had to arrange every meal as if they were afraid that their son would not be full.
Actually, Kong Xiuyao was very full every meal, but there were still many food left on the table. Now that Shen Feishang had come to the house to help him share the burden, he did not have to worry about wasting food.
During the meal, because the problem of the house had been resolved, Shen Feishang confessed to Kong Xiuyao's parents about his family and even told them about Kong Xiuyao's justice.
"Uncle, Auntie, you don't have to worry anymore! Xiuyao is now an executive of the company! Even President Zhong of Wonda has to listen to him! He was so arrogant when he taught the Black Bull a lesson!" Shen Feishang praised.
Mr. and Mrs. Kong did not know any President Zhong, and they had only heard a little about the Black Bull. At first, they did not believe it.
However, Shen Feishang's words were so vivid that every detail could be described for a long time. In addition, he said that everyone in the village knew about it. Only then did Kong's parents believe that their son had really made a name for himself outside!
"Xiuyao! You really didn't embarrass me! I'm happy today! Let's have another drink!" Before he could finish, Father Shen grabbed the bottle and filled it up again.
Mrs. Kong was so happy that she cried. She kept wiping her tears. "The entire village knows that my son is doing well! Tomorrow, I'll go to the old woman next door. She always shows off to me that her son has opened a small shop. After so many years of poking my backbone, I must humiliate her tomorrow! Xiuyao, mummy is so happy! Eat quickly! Eat more!"
The entire night, Kong Xiuyao's family was immersed in a festive atmosphere. Kong Xiuyao's parents felt that they had not eaten like this for many years. They drank three glasses of Chinese white spirits in a row. In the end, Kong Xiuyao and Shen Feishang carried them back to their room.
On the other side, Qiu Lingruo easily locked onto Song Ding's deputy director uncle. In order to find out his crimes, Qiu Lingruo hacked into the deputy director's phone and printed out all the messages involving corruption and bribery. Just these alone were as thick as a dictionary.
In order to make the evidence more convincing, Qiu Lingruo followed the clues and checked the assets of the deputy director's parents, wife, and son. She really found three properties in Shanghai under the name of the deputy director's uncle!
One had to know that the deputy director's uncle was a watermelon seller. The money he earned from selling watermelons was only enough for his family to live on. His family did not have any opportunities to get rich from demolition or winning the lottery. As for the person who transferred the ownership of the three houses, Qiu Lingruo found out that it was the deputy director's subordinate!
The deputy director of this village was not big, but he was corrupt!
After Qiu Lingruo was done tidying up, she went to the door of the director of the Discipline Inspection Commission at two in the morning and started smashing the door without caring about the time.
"Open the door! Senior Brother, open the door!" Qiu Lingruo clenched her fists and punched twice.
The security door was smashed. Ten minutes later, cursing came from inside. A middle-aged man with good facial features and thick black eyebrows opened the door. His temples were white, and his eyes were narrowed. He said angrily, "Who is it? Can't you let me sleep in the middle of the night?"
"Hehe! Senior Brother, I'm your junior sister." Qiu Lingruo threw her bag at his feet, startling a thin layer of dust on the ground.
"Junior Sister… Can't you come during daytime?" Senior Brother was not surprised. After all, he had long been in Qiu Lingruo's information network. Even though he had never seen this junior sister, when he knew that Kong Xiuyao had left the mountain, he knew that sooner or later, a junior sister would come looking for him.
Unfortunately, he did not see his master, so he was not very enthusiastic.
Qiu Lingruo put down her heavy burden, cleared her throat, and pretended to be serious. "Lan Chao! Since you are the director of the Discipline Inspection Commission, it is your dereliction of duty to condone the deputy director of the police station for abusing his power for personal gain! Today, Master specially sent me to ask you. I taught you on Yongmen Mountain. Is this how you repay Master?"
When Lan Chao heard Kong Xiuyao's accusation, he immediately shivered and was so frightened that he lost all his sleepiness. He reflexively squatted down to check the bag Qiu Lingruo had brought!
As expected! It was filled with evidence! He believed Qiu Lingruo's words.
He stood up and looked defeated under the moonlight. He took a few deep breaths before regaining his ability to speak. "Did Master really ask you to come?"
"No." Qiu Lingruo stuck out her tongue and said, "I saw that you were sleepy and might not be able to hear me clearly, so I wanted to scare you."
Lan Chao's soul returned to his body after hearing that. They heaved a sigh of relief and said unhappily, "You're really something! I've long heard that you're a strange girl! You're here to cause trouble in the middle of the night. Hurry up and leave. I still have a meeting tomorrow!"
"No, no, no!" Qiu Lingruo pushed against the door and said weakly, "Senior Brother, I was wrong, but Master really asked me to come!"
"Really?" Lan Chao asked suspiciously.
"Really!" Qiu Lingruo raised three fingers. "Master ordered me to collect evidence of the deputy director. He hopes that you can uphold the law and get rid of this vermin!"
