Chapter 47

~7 min read 1,336 words

The new detective agency is warm, comfortable, and cozy.

While transforming his own home, Wu Xian's inner self was also gradually cleansed.

He is an orphan.

He does not remember his experiences before the age of ten; after ten, he was adopted by an old detective, and under that old man's pressure, he completed half of his university education.

As for why it was only half...

Naturally, the old man kicked the bucket.

Wu Xian dropped out of school to take over the detective agency and began investigating the Fudi cases. During that time, Wu Xian didn't care at all what would become of him; he only wanted to know the truth about the Fudi.

Wu Xian bit off a piece of sweet and sour pork and caught a glimpse of a fair-faced, earring-wearing yellow-haired youth sneaking toward the storage locker.

"So that's what was watching."

But when he opened the locker and felt the stacks of banknotes through the cloth bag, he relaxed his vigilance and quietly pulled a gap in the package.

If this overbearing little puppy were smart enough, he would discover that Wu Xian's words were full of holes, but Wu Xian didn't think a gambling addict who blackmailed his girlfriend had that kind of IQ.

Wu Xian also didn't know how things would develop subsequently.

So he wanted to live earnestly and exquisitely.

Wu Xian walked back to the room to answer the phone. A crisp, energetic male voice came from the phone; this must be that 'overbearing little puppy'.

He looked through the gap, his face changed drastically, and he stomped his feet in anger on the spot.

He smiled slightly and replied in a formulaic tone.

Then Wu Xian set a timed email before packing his phone and some yellow paper into a package.

Wu Xian squatted on the ground, packing and sealing old items from home he couldn't bear to throw away. When he reached a photo frame, he stopped, hesitated for a while, and then placed the frame on the bedside table.

Wu Xian flipped through Lu Yuzhu's transaction records; the money this little puppy borrowed was never repaid.

【Let's learn to bark like dogs together, woof woof woof...】

But if the Fudi's influence on reality is deep enough, then something interesting should happen in a while.

The little puppy was overjoyed: "Convenient, absolutely convenient!"

Plan A is a no-go, so let's try Plan B now.

He had put the package into the storage locker last night.

"Finally here."

The photo in the frame is a picture of Wu Xian and an old man.

"But even if I die, I must make my own voice heard!"

"Our rule here is that heirlooms cannot be handed over in person, so before noon tomorrow, I will place the package in the storage locker opposite the Qipei Restaurant on Chuhe Road. After I place it, I will send you the locker number and password, is that okay?"

Two hours ago, Lu Yuzhu's email account sent a timed email. The recipient of the email was the president of the largest newspaper in Fuyuan City.

The time is approaching twelve o'clock.

The surveillance here is in disrepair, and he deliberately avoided routes where he might encounter people; no one will know he was the one who placed it.

"Then now, I only need to do one last thing, and I can completely say goodbye to the past."

"No wonder I investigated for three years and didn't find any valuable clues..."

"I am forever trapped inside, unable to leave again."

【My dear, this file is a very important thing. I cannot tell you the unlock password directly, but if you remember our agreement, you will definitely be able to recall the password. Please, by all means, help me protect this file.】

"Tch, still a gambling addict."

The content of the email is like this.

"Hello, this is Ping'an Funeral Home. May I ask if you are a family member of Ms. Lu Yuzhu? She was cremated at our home three days ago, may I ask..."

"I'm afraid that anyone who dares to defy this warning has vanished from the face of the earth; perhaps their fate is even more terrifying than death."

He deleted the previous folder, then downloaded the complete collection of Calabash Brothers, encrypted the collection multiple times to create a compressed package, stored this package on Lu Yuzhu's phone, and wrote a set of instructions.

But after entering the Fudi, his heart became strangely calm instead.

"I want to expose that terrifying fact. Everything about the Fudi cases is on my phone; my lover will tell you everything."

He went outside the detective agency, climbed a ladder to remove the agency's sign, and under the surprised gazes of passersby, shoved the sign into the trash can without a hint of attachment.

"Heavenly secrets must not be leaked."

This ringtone is not Wu Xian's, but Lu Yuzhu's.

But when Wu Xian wanted to save it, he felt a sudden, inexplicable palpitation.

A wisp of yin filth emanated from the computer, and a shadow wearing a black robe appeared suddenly. A blackened hand rested on Wu Xian's shoulder, and a blurred face faced Wu Xian's ear.

This young man is exactly the 'overbearing little puppy'.

Now the house is also tidied up.

If information about the Fudi were to leak from Wu Xian's hands to someone who doesn't understand the Fudi, Wu Xian would encounter terrible things.

His name is Huo Gai.

After a simple disguise, Wu Xian ordered a few dishes and a bottle of 'Tiba' brand coconut juice, sitting by the window, squinting his eyes to enjoy the food.

Just as Wu Xian was indulging in the pleasure of breaking free from constraints, he suddenly heard a phone ring in the room.

"Follow your rules, I'm not in a hurry!"

"Bad luck, she's dead, don't ask me for funeral expenses; I'm not close to her."

"Please, don't hide it anymore, let everyone know the truth!"

It's time to do some investigation. Although Wu Xian is no longer a detective, he will frequently enter the Fudi in the future, and some things must be investigated clearly for peace of mind.

The next day.

Wu Xian's mouth curled up: "It's not that. Ms. Lu's heirlooms are a mobile phone and some cash. May I ask if it's convenient for you to receive them?"

"Hey, Yuzhu, save me, I lost at cards, transfer me 1000 yuan, I'll pay you back when I win."

Wu Xian patted the dust off his body and stood up.

It seems this black-robed shadow should be the Fudi's warning to him.

Wu Xian sighed helplessly.

Wu Xian came to the newly renovated gaming room.

Wu Xian sat in the ergonomic chair and took a long while to recover his ability to move. The mental shock brought by that 'Heavenly secrets must not be leaked' far exceeded that of the last Fudi's big boss, the Child-Seeking Ghost Mother.

Huo Gai was worried that Lu Yuzhu's parents would also come to take the heirlooms, so he kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings.

When Wu Xian first got Lu Yuzhu's phone, he discovered that this little puppy was PUA-ing Lu Yuzhu.

"A beautiful life doesn't need something like work."

Soon the time approached twelve o'clock.

Wu Xian hung up the phone.

This file is a bait.

Wu Xian squinted his eyes.

He opened the computer with full RGB lighting effects and began to concoct a file. The file contained the notes Qi Zhiyong gave him, added details about this Fudi, and some of Wu Xian's conjectures about the Fudi.

After saying this sentence, the black shadow vanished into nothingness.

Now that he is a Chosen, there are some things the Fudi will no longer keep secret from him; compared to before, he should be able to find out more things.

Chuhe Road, Qipei Restaurant.

There is absolutely no cash in the package.

But stacks of underworld money!
