The Disappearing Client

how useful the wisdom left behind by the elders is... This is just a custom, you young people should leave quickly."Why are you always trying to get us to leaveMy brother muttered, "Knowing that willo..."You can also not teach, it's just that I learn a little slower..."

Jiang Qiyun shook his head: "… As for you, I can only compromise."

No compromise, when Jiang Qiyun appeared, Yu Guiyounan immediately swarmed over, Lanxi wasn't as clingy to Jiang Qiyun, but since he was now the younger sibling of his older siblings, he also joined in.

If I'm at home, Jiang Qiyun will naturally come to our house, and the children will have more chances to see him.

" … named Chuanshe Ru Lian Ding, with six beads on each side outside the wall, to the right is the Inner Staircase and to the left is the Heavenly Kitchen. The eight stars in front of the staircase are called the Eight Grains... Ugh... It's too long! It's so hard to memorize…" At this, Gui pouted, half-teasing, half-complaining.

"That's because you didn't put in the effort. You would have memorized it long ago, Yunnan." Jiang Qiyun flipped through his book, saying lightly.

"Father, why is the Purple Forbidden Palace the longest among the Three Palaces I still haven't memorized it..." Yu Gui didn't want to memorize anymore, so she clung to Jiang Qiyun and acted cute.

Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow slightly: "That's because Ziweiyuan is where the masters of all stars reside, with many immortal beings."

"How many are there" Younan asked curiously.

"Thousands upon thousands of numbers," Jiang Qiyun smiled. "If you want to know, cultivate diligently. In the future, I'll take you to see and you'll know."

I was chatting with Mr. Shen's estate manager by computer nearby, and I couldn't help but glance at this heartwarming scene of "filial piety".

Jiang Qiyun had strict requirements for Younan, but he rarely reprimanded him because Younan was so well-behaved that he didn't need much instruction. He would spontaneously and diligently learn all sorts of classics.

And my conversation with the Shen family butler was quite peculiar...

Master, Shen Qingrui hasn't returned yet. Could she have been kidnapped

I wouldn't know...

Master, if Shen Qingrui gets married, wouldn't the groom have to move in with her family

I have no idea...

"Master, according to custom, a marriage by a man entering his wife's family also requires a dowry. If the other party is from a distinguished family, then we can waive theirs, after all, it's Qin Jin friendship... Oh, it's enough that she can get married."

I couldn't help but send an emoji to signal the Shen family steward to stop gossiping.

To get down to business, I was looking at the documents and itinerary sent by the manager. There will be a meeting within the circle soon, in another city in this province, and I need to attend it.

My phone suddenly vibrated. I picked it up and saw a message from Song Wei. She said that Chang Jing hadn't been around all day, the show hadn't aired, and even the person in charge couldn't find her. She wondered if she was scared by Zhong Lanlan's death.

Surprised That's impossible, she was here this morning and seemed very relaxed about Zhong Lanlan's death...

I quickly dialed the number, whispering, "She wasn't here all day I saw her this morning; we only exchanged a couple of words before she left, seeming as if she got a call from her boyfriend..."

Song Wei curled her lips and said, "To say such a woman is really cheap. What's so good about that man He's walking on two boats at once. When one died, he changed his mind and came back to coax her, and she just left after being coaxed! No man will die!"

I thought to myself, how come Song Wei is so angry Song Wei continued muttering, "You don't know, I almost ran myself ragged for this matter... And now she hasn't come to record the show, we suspect she might even quit."

"Why Doesn't she really care about this job"

"Caring about that She's just after the position of host to find a rich boyfriend or marry into a wealthy family. You think she really loves her job She only loves the glamorous life!" Song Wei lowered her voice and said, "I heard that her rich second-generation boyfriend didn't go home either. But it's normal for rich kids not to come home, maybe the two of them went somewhere else to... get intimate..."

I have a bad feeling about this.

I asked Song Wei for the information of that rich second generation, and then ran downstairs to discuss with my brother for a while.

My brother frowned and said, “Since this matter didn't give us any money as promised, our commission is no longer valid. Besides, the ghost that Seventh Master is chasing doesn't seem simple. Both Seventh Master and Jiang Qiyun asked us to stay out of it. I think we should just let it go.”

"It's fine if the female ghost is ignored, but since someone has come to our door, we should at least look into it. At the very least, find out who they are and make sure they're okay." I said nervously.

"Tsk..." My brother frowned, looking a little hesitant.

The circle of yin and yang emphasizes fate, and opportunities often find us. This is a kind of fate. We can only control ourselves not to intervene too deeply in her karmic obstacles, but to say we completely let go, our hearts feel uneasy.

"Alright, I'll ask Lao Lu to look into this couple privately. You go ask your husband, I think he doesn't want to get involved in the Seven Kings' business either." My brother said.

I nodded, that's indeed more thorough. Let's use worldly methods to investigate, and try our best to avoid getting involved with the yin and yang aspects.

I returned to the room, only to find Jiang Qiyun had already sent the children back to bed.

Lan Xi had already fallen asleep, lying on the mat with her little butt sticking up in the air, sleeping soundly. Jiang Qiyun casually tossed his own clothes over Lan Xi's body.

At-gui and Younan fall asleep without needing to be coaxed. At-gui basically just needs a pat to sleep, while Younan is more sensitive and thoughtful, finding it harder to fall asleep. When I walked to the bedside, he opened his eyes half-sleepily and looked at me, then closed them again mumbling, "Mama..."

I patted his head, watched him fall asleep, then stood up and looked at Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun clasped her arms and said, "…Let's go."

"Huh" I hadn't even opened my mouth to ask.

He tapped his chin against my table, where my phone was still lying. He'd seen all the messages Song Wei had sent me.

"I scratched my head and said, 'Both Qī Yé and you told me not to get involved, but I'm worried something might happen to Cháng Jìng and that rich second generation. After all, they were clients who came here.' "

"It's fine," Jiang Qiyun replied calmly. "If you want to do something, just explain it clearly and don't act rashly on your own... With me by your side, you can feel more at ease."

"But wouldn't the Seventh Lord be angry He seems to not want others interfering." I carefully observed Jiang Qiyun's expression.

He curled his lips into a smile: “Him He wouldn’t tell anyone about his business, would he That female ghost seems to have had a grudge with him for hundreds of years. After all, it was he who bound her and she escaped into the Demon Realm to cultivate. Now she's escaped back out.”

"Will the Seven Lords be in danger" I asked, nervously packing my small satchel.

"...Go and see for yourself, won't you" Jiang Qiyun chuckled softly.

》》》

My brother's friend, Officer Lu, quickly gave us some information.

Changjing and her wealthy boyfriend had been together for a long time, it was a kind of fated relationship, constantly arguing and breaking up.

That rich second-generation's family background is good, but he himself doesn't have much ability. His family members dislike him too, so most of the time he is just kept by his boyfriend.

But no matter how pathetic this boyfriend is, blood ties can't be severed. This rich second generation can't earn much money himself, but changing luxury cars is like changing clothes, and he also has multiple properties at home. Therefore, Changjing endures everything.

Even if she fights with her boyfriend until they're bruised and bleeding, she still clings to him afterwards — it's all for a shot at redemption.

Why should I let him sleep for nothing, why should I give him to other women

"I heard that the rich second generation's family took on a few projects in the new city area, but one renovation project he was in charge of ended up being a complete mess. The homeowners were furious and chased him all over." My brother said.

That's why she hid at Chang-jing's place.

“It’s an old neighborhood with those former cadres’ family buildings. The residents are all retired leaders and veteran cadres. They dare not demolish it at will, so they’re renovating it first. The residents have all moved out temporarily now and will move back in after the renovation is complete…”

My brother kept talking as he drove to the suburbs of the new city.

In the night, there was indeed a small residential building complex that had aged. All the shops on the first floor were closed and surrounded by sheet metal and nets.

There is no light here, all the residents have moved out, it's very quiet.

Nearby, there is a makeshift hut, apparently a temporary engineering command center, and next to it is a row of two-story worker housing.

Only there was a dim lamp.o stick to her own husband.I let Mu Wanchen go back first and wait for me. I still have to obediently come back with Seventh Senior Brother.That Mr. Dao smiled and handed me a business card: "Little s...
