Shi Xiaxia didn't ask any more questions. She took the task documents she had received and left the department.

When they returned to the villa, Qiao Zihao had already finished his audition.

"Xiaxia is back!" Qiao Zihao came over with a grin.

"How did the audition go?!" Shi Xiaxia asked him with a smile.

"Of course there won't be any problem!"

Qiao Zihao immediately patted his chest and said, "My acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Even the director praised my acting!"

Although Shi Xiaxia knew that Qiao Zihao's words were exaggerated, she still smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's good!"

Then, Shi Xiaxia sniffed and said, "It smells so good! What are you making?"

"Stewed beef,"

Qiao Zihao naturally pulled Shi Xiaxia towards the kitchen: "It's been stewing for an hour, it'll be ready to eat soon."

Shi Xiaxia awkwardly pulled her hand away, looked at the pot, and said, "Your cooking skills are really getting better and better!"

"Hmm..." Qiao Zihao put Shi Xiaxia's hand, which he had just held, behind his back.

If you look closely at his face, you'll notice a few beads of sweat on his forehead and a flushed complexion.

Afterwards, Shi Xiaxia left the kitchen and sat on the sofa to look at the documents.

"What is this?!" Qiao Zihao sat down next to him and craned his neck to look.

"It's a task I received from the department." Shi Xiaxia looked at the address; it wasn't far from where she lived, so she could go check it out tonight.

Qiao Zihao glanced at it again and noticed that the address on the document was a hotel.

He then asked, "Xiaxia, aren't you planning to act?"

"I'll go when I have time." Shi Xiaxia didn't intend to quit the entertainment industry directly and focus on gaining faith to unlock her spiritual power.

After all, sometimes it's easier to investigate things by cloaking yourself in the guise of a celebrity.

......

Evening arrived quickly. Shi Xiaxia changed into some simple clothes, took some talismans, and prepared to head to the hotel.

Qiao Zihao had been waiting quietly for a while, and as soon as he saw Xiaxia getting ready to go out, he quickly showed himself: "Xiaxia! I'm going too!"

Shi Xiaxia turned her head and saw that Qiao Zihao looked ready. She knew that he was determined to follow her, so she could only reluctantly agree.

Qiao Zihao immediately followed with a beaming smile, helping Shi Xiaxia carry her backpack.

"Although it's a task to help the department, we can't reveal our identities; the task must be carried out privately."

Shi Xiaxia instructed Qiao Zihao, "We need to be careful when we get there."

"Okay, I understand!" Qiao Zihao nodded obediently.

The two then went to the hotel.

This hotel is huge, with food, drinks, and entertainment all in one place. It's bustling with people.

Shi Xiaxia first walked around the outside of the hotel and found nothing unusual, so she and Qiao Zihao went inside and checked in.

They are quite famous now, but sometimes when Xiaxia's invisibility talisman is on, others will only treat them as ordinary people.

After checking in, Shi Xiaxia began to wander around the hotel.

There was some eerie energy in the hotel, but not a strong one. It was probably just a little ghost trapped here and unable to get out, otherwise it wouldn't be assigned to the lowest-level task.

However, the yin energy was too weak, and there were too many people coming and going, making it somewhat difficult for Shi Xiaxia to find.

After searching around for a while without finding any trace, Shi Xiaxia decided to stop looking for the time being.

It might be easier to find when it's late at night and everyone is quiet.

Afterwards, the two found a scenic spot to sit down and enjoy the view.

Neither of them spoke, but they occasionally took a sip of their drinks. The atmosphere was not awkward at all; on the contrary, it was surprisingly harmonious.

"Qiao...Qiao Zihao?!" At this moment, someone came over and greeted him after looking around for a while.

"Huh?!" Qiao Zihao noticed the person who had arrived and immediately widened his eyes in surprise.

He stood up and rushed towards the man, shouting, "Brother Shi?! What are you doing here?!"

Shi Xiaxia turned her head and saw that it was Qiao Zihao's hacker friend, Shi Xingchen. The two had met by phone before.

"Miss Shi!"

Shi Xingchen waved to Shi Xiaxia, then sat down in another chair before answering Qiao Zihao's question: "I came here because I discovered traces of that hacker!"

"Huh?!" Qiao Zihao exclaimed in confusion, "That hacker is here?!"

"Not here either,"

Shi Xingchen shook his head, considered for a moment, and said, "I discovered that the surveillance footage here has been altered."

"Shen Qingqing has been here?!" Qiao Zihao immediately frowned and asked.

"I haven't recovered the surveillance footage yet, and I'm not sure if it's true." Shi Xingchen sighed, feeling that his skills were not up to par.

He has been here for two days and has yet to find any trace of the restored surveillance footage.

The changes were so meticulous!

"It must be her!" Shi Xiaxia said definitively.

Shi Xingchen and Qiao Zihao were unaware that Shen Qingqing possessed a system, so they could not be certain.

However, since Shi Xiaxia is already clear about this, it is naturally certain.

After Shi Xiaxia finished speaking, Shi Xingchen and Qiao Zihao both turned to look at her.

They weren't questioning Shi Xiaxia's words; they were just waiting for her to analyze the situation.

Shi Xiaxia glanced at them, then raised her index finger and tapped the table. After a while, she asked, "Can you confirm which day it is?!"

"can!"

Shi Xingchen nodded and took out his phone to show the two the problematic data he had found: "The hacker tampered with the surveillance footage for a total of two days, and then there were no traces left."

"Check who came in those two days!" Shi Xiaxia slammed her hand on the table again.

Shen Qingqing knew that if she secretly went out, she might be targeted by Lu Chuanbai, but she still risked coming here.

What's so special about this place?!

Shi Xiaxia had already explored the entire area but hadn't found anything particularly special.

Shen Qingqing, on the other hand, has always only extracted the luck of others. She is willing to risk being discovered to come here, so she must be trying to extract the luck of others!

Who is she targeting?!

Come to my room!

Shi Xingchen stood up: "It's not very convenient to check on my phone."

"Okay!" Qiao Zihao nodded.

Then Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao followed Shi Xingchen to his room.

As soon as Shi Xiaxia entered Shi Xingchen's room, she paused and frowned slightly.

"Oh, right!"

Shi Xingchen noticed Shi Xiaxia's actions and explained with a smile, "This child said that his parents kicked him out, and I was thinking of calling the police to help him."

But he said his parents would beat him and begged me not to call, so I took him in for now and will see how things go tomorrow and try to find a solution for him.

"Come here! Yangyang!" After explaining, Shi Xingchen waved to the child inside the house: "Come over and say hello to your older brother and sister."
