Ling Yue's original intention has finally surfaced!

I couldn't help but ask: Chuxin, you're on a business trip? Has everything been taken care of? @Chuxin

Chu Xin: Hmm, I'm on my way back. I haven't slept for a day and a night. I'll sleep for three days and three nights when I get back!

He looks quite exhausted.

After Ling Yue finalized the task assignments, she arranged to meet Chu Ping and Su Shiming at the Ghostly Human Realm.

"Really? Lin City? I've never been there before. I heard it's a vast and resource-rich place with sparse population. It must take us four hours to fly there, right?"

Su Shiming hurriedly opened the map to check the location and couldn't help but sigh that this business trip was probably going to be a tough one.

"Yes, I've checked the flight tickets. We need to transfer, so we'll have to stay overnight in the city where we transfer, and the next day we won't have a flight from there."

Su Shiming: ...

It was more difficult than he had imagined.

"Give me your ID cards, I'll buy the tickets together."

Su Shiming deftly handed the ID card to Ling Yue, only then realizing that Chu Ping hadn't yet produced his own ID card.

Oh no, Master Chu has been retired from the martial arts world for over twenty years, does he not even have an ID card anymore?

"Um, Master Chu, you're not an unregistered resident, are you?"

Chu Ping usually presents herself in a feminine manner. She glanced at Su Shiming with a hint of disdain and said, "Who do you think you are!"

So she took out an ID card from her expensive, tiny bag that could only fit a cell phone.

Su Shiming, out of curiosity, simply bypassed Ling Yue and took it.

He thought he was seeing things.

Holy crap, the age on this ID card is accurate...

I'm still a little over ten days away from turning eighteen...

Seeing Su Shiming's naive and unsophisticated expression, Ling Yue couldn't help but take a look at Chu Ping's ID card. The photo was exactly what she looked like now, except for her age...

She suddenly realized something and asked excitedly, "Master Chu, your ID card is fake, isn't it?"

"Can I stay eighteen forever?!"

"Two country bumpkins, it's true!"

Chu Ping was too lazy to explain, but seeing the two of them staring at him so eagerly, he said helplessly, "You know that's how I look, I can't exactly write my real age on my ID card, can I?"

Do you think anyone will believe that?

Ling Yue thought about it carefully and realized it was true. It would be better if she were eighteen now, at least then everyone would believe her.

"Alright, stop wasting time. The holiday is almost here, and we don't want to miss out on plane tickets because of the crowds!"

Ling Yue quickly opened the ticketing app and bought plane tickets for the three of them.

With time running out, Ling Yue bought tickets for the next available flight. The three of them quickly packed their things and rushed to the airport.

Since she didn't know how long the trip would last, Ling Yue first told Liang Lina that she was going to Lin City on a business trip. Liang Lina didn't say anything. It was a good thing that the child was grown up and had her own career to take care of. She only told Ling Yue to call home every day to let her know she was safe.

Ling Yue readily agreed, and after hanging up the phone, she realized that she hadn't told Jing Yucheng about it yet.

So, he called Jing Yucheng again.

Jing Yucheng was in a meeting at the time, and his phone was already on silent. When he saw that it was Ling Yue calling, he waved to signal the others to continue, saying that he needed to take a call.

"What? We're going to Lin City, baby? Did you leave for that?"

"You'd better not stray too far from me."

Ling Yue had forgotten about it. "It should be fine, right? This is never accurate, and I don't know when it will end..."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yucheng frowned even more, it seemed he was going to have to go with Ling Yue.

"Where are you now?"

"I just finished packing my luggage and am about to head to the airport. Master Chu is here too, along with Red Hair and the other two. It's okay, I'll definitely call you if anything happens."

"Don't go to the airport yet. I'll arrange it right away. We'll take the plane from home."

Ling Yue was immediately flustered upon hearing this, thinking it would have been better not to tell him at all.

This person is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Su Shiming had been eavesdropping on their conversation the whole time, and he's getting more and more gossipy!

"Is my cousin going to arrange a transfer?"

"It has to be my cousin!"

"This makes the journey so much smoother, it's simply the ideal!"

Ling Yue: ……

After giving his subordinates some instructions, Jing Yucheng hurriedly headed home, having already arranged for a private jet along the way.

Upon seeing Jing Yucheng, Ling Yue realized that he was also going with her, which made her even more uneasy.

"No, we're going to work. What are you going there for? Aren't you going to take care of your own job?"

Brother, where's your mature, composed, and domineering CEO image?

Forget it, they've already made preparations. In the end, they're still worried about themselves.

Hopefully, this mission will be completed smoothly.

However, the private jet did save a lot of time. They arrived in Lin City on the same day instead of the night they were originally scheduled to arrive the next day.

As soon as the four of them got off the plane, they used a map to search for the location of the old lady's house that she had told them.

"Hey sister-in-law, you haven't eaten properly all day. Let's go grab a bite to eat before we go back to work."

As the saying goes, "Food is as essential as iron; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!"

Su Shiming is really used to the life of a young master, and he's quite difficult to please.

"It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer. I just checked the map and it's not far. It'll only take us half an hour by taxi. Let's check the situation over there first before we can eat in peace!"

Su Shiming wanted to complain that half an hour couldn't possibly cover that much distance.

But one look from Jing Yucheng was enough to shut him up, and he quietly became the mascot.

Chu Ping didn't say a word the whole way, seemingly absent-minded, but in reality he was constantly observing his surroundings.

Let's see if there's a destined ghost we can capture.

"No. 98 Songjiang Road..."

"Jing Yucheng, come and see if this is courtyard number 98?"

Jing Yucheng walked directly to the gate and politely asked, "Hello, is this No. 98 Songjiang Road?"

An elderly man came out of the guardhouse and replied cheerfully, "Yes, this is the place. This is the residential compound of the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. May I ask who you are looking for? Please show your ID card first."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue immediately felt a little nervous. Was this some kind of secret unit? She also instantly felt a sense of admiration for the old lady.

It's all her fault for being too nervous at the time; she didn't even properly ask the old lady about her condition...

Jing Yucheng took out his wallet from his pocket and handed his ID card to the old gatekeeper.

The old man checked the ID card and compared it with Jing Yucheng's photo. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he ask them again who they were looking for.

Ling Yue was really having a headache at this moment...

She knew absolutely nothing about her client before his death.

When Jing Yucheng saw that Ling Yue was keeping her head down and not saying anything, and kept hiding behind him, he knew what was going on.

"That's right, we were asked by my grandfather to do this. He knew that his old comrade's wife had recently passed away. He's too old and lives too far away to attend her funeral, so he asked us young people to make sure we convey his sentiments..."

The gatekeeper knew which household it was from the moment he heard it was a funeral.

"You mean Old Cheng's house? Her husband just passed away a couple of days ago from a sudden heart attack. He was perfectly fine the day before, taking Old Cheng for a walk in the neighborhood, but he was gone the next day."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, that's the old lady!"

"Sir, do you know how old Cheng is doing now?"

"I heard that he has been ill for many years. Now that his wife has passed away, will he be able to take care of himself?"

Once Ling Yue started talking, she completely opened up the old gatekeeper's floodgates.

"Sigh, those two old folks are really a curse. They are such good people, but their children are all worse than the last."

"Look, they were making a scene here early this morning. Their mother died, and now they're all starting to go home."

Su Shiming was completely confused and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this normal? Shouldn't children take care of their parents' funeral arrangements?"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper shook his head repeatedly.

"Sigh, no wonder this family's children are different from others. Just think, five sons, each one worse than the last. They rarely come back more than twice a year. Now that the person is dead, they're putting on airs, trying to outdo each other in filial piety."

The gatekeeper looked around and, noticing the other people, whispered, "Showing filial piety is one thing, but the main reason is still for the old couple's property."
