The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 868 Investigation

Ling Xiao put the cooked breakfast on the desk, and asked casually: "I heard that you are investigating the cause of your parents' death recently. How is it? Is there any progress?"

Jessica, who was sitting on the office chair, put down the rice porridge in her hand, sighed and said, "It was Tracy who told you, I didn't expect her to deceive you. Alas, Ling, it's not about you at all." As I thought, I have let go of the past, and it is Trish who can't let go, she is the one who encouraged me to investigate everything."

"Huh?" Ling Xiao couldn't help being taken aback. Jessica's words really caught him off guard. When Patricia said this, Ling Xiao didn't use his mental ability to probe her thoughts. Patricia has certain special abilities. In addition to being able to detect and sense the mysterious phenomena and mysterious energy around her, she also has considerable telepathic ability. Ling Xiao never thought of going to investigate her thoughts.

"At the beginning, she wanted me to go to her radio station for an interview. After I refused, she managed to get a relevant file from that year." Jessica sighed and continued: "After the car accident that year, I was sent to the emergency room but was not assigned to a bed until 20 days later, with no medical records at all in between, no one knows what happened in between, I was near death when I was admitted, and I was discharged from the hospital With superpowers."

"So, what did someone do to you while you were in a coma?" Ling Xiao's face suddenly became solemn. If this is really the case, then others may have mastered Jessica's unknown weakness. Or have a way to deal with her.

"It's a pharmaceutical company called IGH. This company is very large. They often do things that are outside the borders of the law, such as experimenting with living people." Jessica shrugged and said indifferently: "I have let go of these things. The past is in the past. Nothing can be changed. It can only be that way. But Trish is unwilling, she insists on continuing to investigate, Dr. Kozlov who treated me back then, and others. "

"She will bring danger to herself by doing this." Ling Xiao is very aware of the style of those pharmaceutical companies. Once someone threatens their interests, it is perfectly normal to secretly eradicate them.

"Who says no, it's just that I've gotten into some trouble recently." Jessica showed some worry on her face, and she continued: "A relatively large detective agency is eyeing me, and they He wanted to annex my firm, so he sent someone to monitor me, and I couldn't control it, so I started investigating him in private. When I came to confront him, he deliberately provoked me again. I I couldn't help but beat him hard."

As she spoke, Jessica spread her hands and said, "In the end, I was caught by the police. Fortunately, with Matt's help, I was only sentenced to one year of probation."

"There's something wrong with this matter." Ling Xiao raised his head abruptly, looked at Jessica and said, "I'm afraid you've been targeted, Jessica, when ordinary people face people with superpowers, few people can Face it calmly, let alone come here and directly annex your detective firm."

Jessica frowned, and said puzzledly: "But he said that his detective agency is going to expand its business, that's why..."

"That's just a rhetoric, and the person who came here is just a pawn pushed to the front." Ling Xiao shook his head thoughtfully, and said, "You have to be careful, Jesse, if you can't handle it This matter is just the beginning, and there may be more troubles in the future. I suggest that you carefully investigate the financial transactions behind this firm, who is behind all this, perhaps from this aspect Can it be investigated?"

"Hmm!" Hearing what Ling Xiao said, Jessica's complexion became serious, and the matter was obviously much more serious than she had imagined.

"Don't worry so much." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Although it's not convenient for me to show up now, I can still check for you. You don't have to be too restrained, even if this matter finally gets out of hand, At worst, you come back to London with me, leave this mess behind, and we won't play anymore."

Ling Xiao's attitude relieved Jessica a lot. She nodded and said, "I know, I will be careful."

"Go to Matt to discuss everything. He sees many things more clearly than you." Ling Xiao couldn't help but reminded him again.

"Matt is also very busy recently." Jessica shook her head and said with a wry smile: "The Punisher's affairs keep him so busy that he can't take care of it at all."

"Okay, but you have to be more careful. Although your ability is enough to ensure your safety, it is inevitable that you will not fall into other people's schemes." Ling Xiao turned around, looked at the detective agency, Shen He said in a low voice, "Perhaps your firm should be closed for a while. Now that you are open and others are in the dark, it is easy to be targeted."

Jessica Jones' detective agency is like a target, and it is easy to be conspired by others. If she can temporarily close the detective agency and lurk into the dark, she may be able to see more things.

Jessica didn't accept Ling Xiao's suggestion immediately. She said that she would seriously consider it, but Ling Xiao knew that she didn't listen to it, but he didn't mean to force her. With Jessica's current strength, Her safety will not really be threatened. If so, then these things can be used to train her and enhance her ability to deal with things.

But even so, it doesn't mean that Ling Xiao will completely let go. That Mr. Chen who wants to annex his firm, Ling Xiao also wants to see who is standing behind him, so that morning, Ling Xiao Went to that Mr. Chen's office, and he happened to go out.

Ling Xiao followed without even thinking about it. Who would have thought that this follow would lead to the home of an old acquaintance. This old acquaintance was lawyer Jerry Hogarth, the legal counsel of Ling Xiao Siwei Technology. Who would have thought that The person standing behind Mr. Chen turned out to be her.

Jerry Hogarth's state is a little bit wrong tomorrow. In her home, besides herself, there are three call girls who only wear underwear, and they are middle-aged call girls who are not very good looking. Like Si, she was only wearing underwear. When the door was knocked, she put on a pajamas and walked out.

Mr. Chen came here to tell Hogarth that he had signed the indictment against Jessica, even though he was beaten by Jessica and even broke an arm. [-] years of probation, but Mr. Chen was not satisfied, and he wanted to initiate a civil lawsuit against Jessica.

And the lawyer in charge of this lawsuit is Hogarth, and there is obviously something wrong here.

After sending Mr. Chen away and driving the three call girls away, Hogarth began to clean up all the traces left by the three call girls, but in the end, she couldn't help crying alone, crying heartbreakingly Cracked lung, in pain.

At this moment, a tissue was handed over, Hogarth subconsciously took it, and said at the same time, "Thank you!"

As soon as the words fell, Hogarth immediately realized that something was wrong. She stood up abruptly, looked at the person who appeared suddenly, her left hand was already holding a table knife in her hand, and the next moment, she became stunned: "Ling, why are you here, when did you return to New York?"

"Not a few days." Ling Xiao glanced at the knife in Hogarth's hand, and Hogarth immediately put the knife on the table in embarrassment.

She smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Is there nothing wrong with you coming back like this? I heard that you gave General Ross to..."

Hogarth's news channels are many times better than Patricia's, and even some things about Ling Xiao and General Ross have been heard.

"The relationship between me and the US government is indeed a bit tense, but don't worry, they haven't issued a warrant for me, and," Ling Xiao smiled disdainfully, and said, "And even if they find that I am now In New York, it won’t do anything, they’ll just pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they won’t want me to have a showdown with Vision in Manhattan. Not to mention it’s not that easy to find me.”

With Ling Xiao's current strength, if the U.S. government really wants to do something to him, all they can send is Vision, and once the battle on their level starts, although it can't be said to be devastating, it is by no means Manhattan. easily bearable.
