Fate of the Immortals and Demons
Chapter 6 Investigation
Originally, Caidie just thought it would be nice to live alone, but then she changed her mind and realized that she still needed someone to look after the house and clean it.
"That's... okay..."
Dong Ping hesitated for a moment, then understood, considering the fairy's unworldly lifestyle.
He had even thoughtfully arranged for two nannies to take care of his daily life and meals, two servants to take care of cleaning, two security guards to patrol the manor, and a driver. Now it seemed that all these were unnecessary.
At the same time, Dong Ping also thought that there were too many people around and he had already received news that Hu Wanguo’s youngest son Hu Yang came to visit with a policeman.
Moreover, he had already been to the hotel to inquire not long ago, so his purpose was self-evident. He was most likely here to track down the fairy.
Of course, Dong Ping had enough confidence in this matter, and he could handle it quietly with his own abilities, so there was no need to mention it to the fairy.
The old man, who had packed his luggage, handed over the manor, and was about to leave, was startled when he heard Caidie's words and immediately said:
"Little girl, there are only two of you living in such a big house. There is no one living within a ten-mile radius. If something happens, it will take nearly an hour for the police to arrive."
It can be seen that the old man's reminder was also out of good intentions.
And how could Caidie not see that there must be a reason why such a nice manor house was sold?
However, with my own cultivation ability, there is really nothing in this human world that can threaten me.
Except for those who also came from the demon world.
Dong Ping, however, was unconcerned and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry about this. I will arrange for someone to protect him. Xiao Zhang, just see this old comrade off."
"Alas..." The old man could only sigh, "How can ordinary people be frightened by ghosts and monsters?"
"I won't give it away."
The colorful butterfly secretly sent a trace of spiritual energy to the old man whose leg was shot.
Although for him, it would be a piece of cake to completely heal the old man's gunshot wound.
But if I really get cured, it would be hard for me not to become famous.
The old man could only shake his head and give up. Although he was still limping, with Xiao Zhang's help, he moved the gifts into the car and drove away.
But if he waits until a rainy day, he will be surprised to find that the gunshot wound that was originally painful will no longer hurt at all.
Afterwards, Dong Ping did not stop and left with the rest of the people in the car.
"From now on, you will just live on the first floor. You are not allowed to go upstairs without my permission."
Before going upstairs, Caidie stood at the stairs and gave instructions to Li Mei, a middle-aged woman who was standing in the lobby on the first floor with her luggage in her hands.
"Ok."
It can be heard that the middle-aged woman is obviously a little scared.
But this is not surprising. After all, the manor is so big, in the middle of nowhere. It would be too lonely for just two people to live there.
But for the high salary, the middle-aged woman had to suppress her fear and found a side room on the first floor to live in.
In the entire manor, only Caidie and a servant were left, so the whole manor seemed particularly quiet.
Especially as the sun sets, it becomes even more gloomy and eerie...
Elsewhere, Dong Ping, who had already driven down the mountain, asked his secretary from the back seat, "Xiao Liu, what's wrong? What's making you hesitate?"
Secretary Xiao Liu knew that the truth would come out sooner or later, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake and said:
"I'm sorry, Chairman. I'm not sure if I should tell you this. This manor is actually a haunted house. I only found out about it afterwards."
"Haunted house? Hahaha..."
Although Dong Ping tried hard to hold back his laughter, he still couldn't help laughing out loud.
After all, when I think about letting a fairy live in a haunted house, I really don’t know whether the ghosts in the haunted house will be scared or the fairy will be scared?
"Chairman, how are you?"
Xiao Liu was instantly confused and even felt a chill. He shrank unconsciously and stared in horror at the chairman who was laughing from the bottom of his heart.
Dong Ping suppressed his laughter and said kindly, "Okay, Xiao Liu, you're a college graduate with a high level of education. Why do you still believe in ghosts and monsters?"
Xiao Liu said seriously, "But Chairman, someone did die in this manor house. Not only the original owner, but also the subsequent owner. A family of five all passed away unexpectedly. Only the only boy who went abroad to study inherited the manor."
"There's such a thing! Go back first and come visit again tomorrow. By the way, this is a secret for me. If you leak it, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Dong Ping also became serious. Soon the car drove down the mountain and arrived next to the helicopter. Dong Ping took the plane back directly.
Watching the chairman leave in a helicopter, Xiao Liu thought to himself:
"What's wrong with the Chairman? Is he really not worried at all? And that girl named Hu Die, is she really so bold as to leave only an aunt to live with her? And she wants us to keep it a secret, otherwise we will bear the consequences."
Dong Ping returned home by helicopter. As soon as he got off the plane, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came forward to greet him.
"Boss, Hu Yang came with a young policeman. We've been waiting since 1pm and it's almost 6pm now."
Dong Ping, who had already known the news, was not surprised at all and his face remained calm.
In fact, he had already made up his mind that he would hide the fairy's true identity and origin at all costs.
As long as Hu Die's identity is verified, everything will be solved and there will be no trace of the problem.
"Hello, Uncle Dong. I'm Hu Yang, the youngest son of Hu Wanguo. This is my good friend, Ding Yubai, a criminal police officer who just graduated from the police academy."
Sure enough, as soon as Dong Ping entered the villa hall, Hu Yang stood up and greeted him and introduced him.
"Hello, Mr. Dong."
Ding Yubai, who was wearing a police uniform, also stood up and greeted him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Dad, you are back."
The family members who were also waiting for Dong Ping's return in the villa stood up as well. Each of them was full of curiosity and looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Dong Ping naturally wouldn't discuss this matter in the hall. He also wanted to settle the matter before getting his identity documents, so he said calmly:
"I guess you two have been waiting for a long time because there must be something very important. Please go to the study to talk!" As he said this, he went upstairs first.
Ding Yubai and Hu Yang looked at each other, and followed him upstairs tacitly, leaving the family members downstairs looking at each other in confusion, curious, and not following.
Dong Ping walked the two into the study, made a gesture of invitation, and personally closed the door. Then he sat down at a desk and said kindly, "You're welcome, sit wherever you want."
Ding Yubai and Hu Yang had no choice but to sit down on the nearest sofa. After a moment of silence, Hu Yang took the initiative to say:
"Uncle Dong, the story goes like this: an heirloom pendant from my uncle Wang's car went missing. Records show that a woman in white rode in my uncle Wang's car around the time it was lost. She got off at the Sinan Mansion Hotel around 2 a.m. last night."
"Of course, we didn't come here with any evidence. We just wanted to meet the woman and ask her in person. It wasn't until we arrived at the Gongguan Hotel that we found out you had personally taken her away."
Ding Yubai and Dong Ping, who listened quietly to Hu Yang's nonsense, both looked unhappy and frowned in dissatisfaction.
Ding Yubai frowned in dissatisfaction because Hu Yang was making up excuses to meet people on suspicion of theft.
Dong Ping looked displeased, obviously knowing that Hu Yang was talking nonsense. Although he didn't know what Hu Yang's purpose was in insisting on meeting the fairy by framing her.
But it is enough to show that the problem can be big or small, so all this must be done before the fairy's identity certificate is obtained.
"That's ridiculous!" Dong Ping looked at Hu Yang with a calm and composed look and said, "So you two have been waiting for me to come back to find out where Hu Die is?"
"Hu Die!?"
Hu Yang and Ding Yubai were shocked when they heard the name. They looked at each other subconsciously, and then turned to look at Dong Ping, hoping that he could reveal more useful information.
For example, identity background or contact information? Because once you meet the person in person, all problems will be solved.
Why did the driver, Uncle Wang, have no recollection of going to Sinan Mansion Hotel even though he had taken a car there before?
At the same time, why did Uncle Wang’s lumbar spondylosis, an occupational disease caused by years of driving, completely heal after she just took a car to the hotel?
The most important point is, how did she appear out of thin air in the middle of the night? This is also the fundamental reason why Ding Yubai changed his attitude and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
From the reactions of the two, the shrewd Dong Ping had already realized that the matter was not simple. The two must have noticed the fairy's weirdness, so they were eager to see her in person to confirm it.
The more this happened, the more Dong Ping refused to let them see it. It was like discovering a treasure that belonged to you alone; how could you easily let others know and share it?
After pondering for a moment, Dong Ping knew that these two would definitely not give up if they couldn't see the fairy, but as long as Hu Die's identity certificate was processed, there would be no worries at all.
There is only one solution for now: delay.
Dong Ping said calmly, "She's my newly hired health consultant. She's currently out of the country on a business trip, but don't worry, she'll be back in seven days at most. I'll then notify you two and clarify things with her in person."
This time, Ding Yubai asked, which was unusual: "Where did you go abroad?"
"This is a trade secret and I cannot disclose it!"
Dong Ping immediately became angry. He had already given seven days, but they still wanted to investigate. Even a person with a good temper would be furious, not to mention that he was lying to delay time.
Ding Yubai stood up suddenly and said seriously:
"Mr. Dong Ping, there's one thing I must explain to you. In fact, the woman named Hu Die has nothing to do with the lost ancestral pendant. But she did ride in the car of my friend, Uncle Wang, the driver, to the Sinan Mansion Hotel."
"At the same time, my friend, the driver, Uncle Wang, has no recollection of ever picking up this person, and his lumbar spondylosis, which he had developed over many years of driving, has indeed healed after examination. My friend and I are naturally very grateful for this."
