She's waiting for me there.

Chen Yun looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean? Amulets are everywhere. Is there something wrong with that?"

Yang Kaian said, "Boss Chen, people in our line of work all believe in metaphysics and have done some research on things like self-defense and life-saving. And you should know that my master comes from an ancient martial arts family, and he also has some ancient books on metaphysics at home."

Chen Yun nodded thoughtfully: "So, you haven't seen the amulet on Jiang Miaoke, is that right?"

"Yes, to be precise, I haven't seen the pattern on her jade pendant. She's been in and out of the company frequently these past few days, so I only just noticed the jade pendant she wears around her neck. Of course, it could also be that I'm just ignorant."

"Okay, I see. Any other findings?"

Yang Kaian shook his head: "This is all we have discovered so far."

"Go to the small town where Jiang Miaoke lives and check if there are any local cults or similar organizations. Bring a few trustworthy men with you and be sure to pay attention to safety."

Yang Kaian was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly slapped his forehead and said with sudden realization: "I understand, I'll go right away."

Chen Yun frowned slightly, tapping the table lightly while sitting on the chair, his eyes always fixed on the office diagonally opposite.

The information he can get now is still too limited. Although he has some guesses, he still dare not draw a conclusion.

He picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said calmly, "Come to my office."

"Brother, when did you come back? Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

After Gu Hongfei arrived at the office, he sat next to Chen Yun. His face no longer had the sadness of the previous few days, and he even looked a little rosy.

"How was your outing this time? Was it because of the rain that we couldn't go anywhere?" he said gloatingly.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, but what's going on with you?" He pointed at the two women in the office opposite.

"Brother, to be honest, I don't know why this happened. You might not believe it, but these two are like best friends now."

"What happened during the few days I was away?"

"Nothing special." Gu Hongfei thought for a moment and continued, "Indeed, nothing special happened. On the third day after you left, they came to the company together in the morning. At first, I thought it was going to be another Shura field, but in the end..."

He spread his hands and said, "They are like sisters now. If things continue like this, I think they will become like sister-in-law and green lemon."

Chen Yun's smile remained unchanged: "Congratulations on getting your beautiful lady back, not to mention two of them."

Gu Hongfei waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Brother, you don't have to say that. I have a clear understanding of my own position. I can't suppress the two of them. Whether it's Ning Qinghua or Miao Ke, they are not something I can handle."

"Then why are you so happy? I thought you were planning to marry both of them home."

Gu Hongfei sighed, "I'm happy because Ning Qinghua doesn't have to feel so bad anymore. Otherwise, I'd always feel like I owed her a lot, and that would be a terrible feeling."

"Well, not bad. You have a clear understanding of your position. I have nothing else to do. Let's go back."

After a while, Chen Yun looked up and saw Gu Hongfei still sitting there, with no intention of leaving.

"Is something wrong?"

Gu Hongfei leaned forward and whispered, "Brother, what did you find out?"

"Want to hear it?" Chen Yun didn't intend to hide it from him. With Gu Hongfei's intelligence, he must have guessed that he was investigating Jiang Miaoke.

"Yes, I did. Some time ago, I didn't let you investigate her, and I was really thinking of escaping something, but now..."

Gu Hongfei lit a cigarette with a heavy expression, then threw the cigarette box in front of Chen Yun.

"Huh! Something's wrong. From what I know about her, I can't imagine why she came back this time. And Ning Qinghua is so proud, how could she become best friends with her love rival? This doesn't make sense, unless..."

Chen Yun continued his words: "Unless Jiang Miaoke took advantage of her sympathy."

Gu Hongfei snapped his fingers. "It's the same as what I thought, but it's not quite right. Although Ning Qinghua looks crazy, she's actually very rational. What kind of thing could make her empathize? Apart from her life, I can't think of anything else."

"Okay, then let me tell you about my findings."

Chen Yun took out a cigarette and lit it. "Jiang Miaoke's family is short of money, and they have a good reputation in their original place of residence. Also, those residents are helping her hide some secret. I guess she is sick, and it's a terminal illness."

Gu Hongfei didn't say anything, his face expressionless, as calm as a still pond.

After a moment, he put out his cigarette, looked up and shook his head calmly: "Impossible, this idea came to me the moment she called Ning Qinghua."

"Why are you so sure?"

"It's simple. I took her to the hospital for a full physical examination, and the report showed that everything was normal."

Seeing Chen Yun's surprised look, Gu Hongfei explained, "I did this in the name of the company. For this reason, I took all the employees of the company to do a physical examination. She accompanied me at the time, and then you happened to be away, so there was an extra spot, so..."

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows. "So what? Shouldn't you, Master Gu, pay for the entire experience?"

"Ha...haha~~~" Gu Hongfei laughed awkwardly, "Brother, what's the difference between you and me, or who pays the bill? Isn't that being too formal?"

Then he stood up and walked out, leaving Chen Yun no room to refute.

"boom!"

The office door was closed and Chen Yun fell into deep thought.

If we follow the line that Jiang Miaoke came back for money, many things can be explained. Her brother Jiang Li is a college student studying medicine, and there is a common problem in medical matters, which is that it burns money.

It's not just a problem of tuition fees, but the period is too long. Even after graduation, it is difficult to find a suitable job without connections and money.

But there is a very contradictory point here, that is, Jiang Miaoke has never agreed to Gu Hongfei's pursuit. There is no point in keeping Gu Hongfei in suspense. Moreover, there is Ning Qinghua who is eyeing her covetously next to her, which may lead to more trouble.

Also, where did her parents’ savings over the years go? High school teachers’ income is not low, so where did all the money go?

The current situation is completely chaotic. It's like playing a game of Werewolf. He and Gu Hongfei are just "civilians" who have their eyes closed the whole time. The information they get is very limited, and they can't figure out any logic at all.

Jiang Miaoke is like an NPC whose identity is constantly changing. It is unknown whether she is a "werewolf" or a "priest".

However, Ning Qinghua seemed to have played the "prophet" card these days. She should have known something about the situation, or she had touched Jiang Miaoke's trump card at night. Now only she can define Jiang Miaoke's identity.

Chen Yun's gaze stayed on Ning Qinghua, who was more than ten meters away.

Ning Qinghua happened to turn around and look over here.

Their eyes met, and both of them read something in each other's eyes.

(PS: I will post another chapter today at noon.

Also, you're worried about the protagonist cultivating immortality. I can responsibly tell you that this won't happen. Because the main plot is about rebirth, there will be some fantasy elements, but other than that, there won't be too much deviation from reality.
