Chapter 372: Open Investigation
After a long silence, Gui Xiaoxu frowned and muttered, “Why do I feel like I look different from before? Not only do I feel more energetic and powerful, but my skin looks smoother and fairer. I hope this change won’t affect my image in front of my subordinates.”
While Gui Xiaoxu was struggling with his new and more handsome appearance, something happened at the headquarters of the military special force.
A man burst into the meeting room excitedly, waving a few sheets of paper as he said, “Captain, we have received another anonymous information!”
Hearing this, Lei Jingqian’s eyes lit up as he looked at the man and asked, “What information do we have this time?”
The man handed the document to Lei Jingqian and said, “Some insiders from the Bai Group reported that Bai Yansheng caused the death of their new chairwoman, Bai Hanyun.”
“Also, many people witnessed the second young lady of the Bai family, Bai Li, going in and out of the Gui Group’s headquarters these past few days.”
While he spoke, Lei Jingqian read the document. When he finished, he set it down and looked at his team members.
“Looks like the Xue Wu Gang indeed has a connection with Gui Sihong.”
Hearing this, one of the soldiers seated around the long glass table asked, “Captain, should we start the open investigation now? Since we have already gathered more than enough evidence, the upper-ups should approve it.”
Lei Jingqian thought for a moment, then said, “Let’s meet with CEO Gui first and see if he knows that his second uncle is the owner of the Xue Wu Gang. Although this case is important, we can’t involve innocent people.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Making the decision, Lei Jingqian stood up and said, “I’m going to get permission for the open investigation. You guys help me secure an appointment with CEO Gui.”
The others stood, saluted, and responded in unison, “Yes, Captain!”
After the meeting ended, Lei Jingqian hurried to the commander’s office.
Meanwhile, Hu Chaoyang and Jiang Yinqi were busy putting on an act while scattering traps for Bai Yansheng and his men everywhere.
After Bai Hanyun’s disappearance, Bai Yansheng took over the chairman’s office. Sitting in the comfortable chair, he looked out at the gloomy sky through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Taking a sip of his coffee, the corners of Bai Yansheng’s lips curved up slightly. Letting out a satisfied sigh, he smacked his lips and muttered, “Comfortable. Life without that bastard is really comfortable.”
While he was savoring his victory over Bai Hanyun, Bai Li and her mother, Qian Weina, were happily shopping and spending money like water.
Pointing at a row of clothes inside one of the brand stores, Bai Li ordered domineeringly, “That one, that one, and that one, I don’t want them. As for the others, pack them all up!”
The saleswoman’s eyes lit up at once when she heard this.
The cheapest clothes in their store cost at least six figures, and someone who bought without hesitation, like this young lady, clearly came from a wealthy family. Just this order alone, the saleswoman calculated that this young lady should have spent at least tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions.
With a fawning smile, the saleswoman said, “Miss, Madam, please rest in our VVIP room while I help you pack and check out your items.”
Satisfied with her service, Bai Li said, “Lead the way.”
The saleswoman made an invitation gesture and stood to the side. “This way, please, Madam, Miss.”
While they were on their way to the VVIP room, Bai Li held her mother’s hand and said, “Mom, let’s buy jewelry after this. I want to look perfect when I meet with Elder Brother Xiaoxu.”
Following behind them, the saleswoman’s eyes widened slightly when she heard Bai Li refer to Gui Xiaoxu so intimately.
The Gui Group owned this shopping mall, so everyone working there was technically working for the Gui Group. Even though they had never seen their CEO in person, they all knew he never got close to anyone—except for a young lady from the Bai family.
Recalling the gossip she had heard before, the saleswoman’s heart skipped a beat.
‘Could it be… This is our future CEO’s wife?’
When they arrived in the VVIP room, the saleswoman attentively served Bai Li and Qian Weina. Bowing respectfully, she said, “Madam Bai, Miss Bai, please enjoy the drinks and snacks.”
“Alright.”
Since Bai Li didn’t correct her, the saleswoman thought, ‘She really is Miss Bai! I need to inform the manager!’
Confirming her guess, the saleswoman left the VVIP room and hurried to check out Bai Li’s clothes. Soon, she returned with the bags in hand.
When Bai Li took out her card, the saleswoman quickly said, “Miss Bai, our manager said you don’t need to pay when shopping in our store in the future. This is a direct order from our CEO.”
The moment Bai Li and Qian Weina heard this, their eyes lit up.
Giving her daughter a satisfied glance, Qian Weina said proudly, “Got it. Send those clothes to this address.”
After leaving their home address, Qian Weina and Bai Li exited the store in an excellent mood—unaware they had just stepped into a hellpit.
While Bai Li was shopping for free in the Gui Group’s shopping mall, Bai Hanyun was talking with the Yang Mirror.
Inside the bedroom, Bai Hanyun sat on the bed, looked at the red mark on her wrist, and asked, “Yang Mirror, are you there?
A second later, Yang Mirror’s sleepy voice came into her mind. “Mhm.”
“Can you contact Feng Xiyan?” she asked again.
Now that the Yang Mirror had become her immortal artifact and entered her dantian, Bai Hanyun wasn’t sure whether it could still contact Feng Xiyan. Since returning to her world, she hadn’t reached out to him and didn’t know how he was doing.
When the Yang Mirror heard this, the red mark on her wrist glowed. A second later, a golden light shot out from the red mark and transformed into the Yang Mirror.
