PDLP Chapter 98 Spying
Chapter 98 Spying
"Tsk tsk, the collection of Netherfire is truly abundant, it's practically a miniature library of a sect."
Xia Xue obtained a large amount of information on traditional Chinese martial arts, mystical arts, and the cultivation world from Minghuo's collection, as well as general intelligence about the current world. This greatly helped her fill in her knowledge gaps and understand the world.
"Having read all of these, I can pretty much consider myself a qualified member of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)."
Xia Xue smiled.
"The lineage I fabricated may be fake, but the knowledge and heritage I possess are absolutely real."
Xia Xue checked the treasures in Minghuo's collection again and found that none of them triggered a system response.
"These treasures are either too low-level or not compatible enough. Alas, my wish to level up quickly has been dashed."
Like that bronze coffin, it was definitely a good thing, but unfortunately she didn't open the corresponding treasure chest, so it could only be left to gather dust in her personal space.
"What a waste."
Xia Xue lay down on the bed behind her.
"Never mind, there's still plenty of time. I'm too tired today, let's get some rest."
As she was about to close her eyes, Xia Xue muttered something softly.
"Did I forget something?"
……
the next morning.
Xia Xue opened the door and saw the sign on the door that read "In seclusion for cultivation, please do not disturb," and looked embarrassed.
"I forgot to take it off before I went to bed last night."
It hung there all night, looking so fresh and clean.
Xia Xue quickly put it away, pretending nothing had happened, and went downstairs as if nothing had occurred.
In the restaurant, Xia Jun, who was eating, saw Xia Xue and exclaimed "Yo!"
"Our cultivators have finally emerged from seclusion."
Xia Xue pretended not to hear.
"Aunt Zhang, what delicious food did you make today?"
Seeing that Xia Xue was shy and unwilling to talk about it, Xia Jun stopped teasing her about it.
What are the plans for today?
While eating fried dough sticks and drinking tofu pudding, Xia Xue replied without looking up, "Dr. Chu invited me out, but my father has something to do, so I can cancel the invitation to Dr. Chu."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jun quickly replied, "Dr. Chu's matter is more important. I don't have anything important to say. I just wanted to ask how the preparations for the short drama are going. You haven't been to the company even once recently, and the general manager of Chenxi called to complain to me."
Xia Xue looked up in surprise, glanced at Xia Jun, and said, "Didn't I send an assistant over? Did Su Li not do a good job?"
Xia Jun smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, quite the opposite. This shows that Su Li did too well. In just two days, he has already threatened his position. That's why he had to call me, his former boss, to ask me to put some pressure on you, his new boss."
Xia Xue pouted.
"I'm not interested in managing the company. As long as Zuli doesn't make any major mistakes, I won't leave."
Xia Jun looked at Xia Xue, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
With such a good character, such a good mind, and such good methods, why are they all unwilling to take over his business, just like his first two daughters?
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore."
Considering Xia Xue's situation and various subjective and objective factors, the initial intention to take this opportunity to nurture Xia Xue instantly faded.
"Yaoyao and Ajue worked overtime again last night and didn't come home. Sigh, they probably stayed up all night again. They're such a worry."
As a father, Xia Jun couldn't help but complain to his daughter, the only one in the family who didn't work overtime all night.
While eating breakfast, Xia Xue listened to Xia Jun's happy worries. When her phone rang, Xia Xue quickly got up.
"Alright, Father, I've finished eating. Dr. Chu is here to pick me up, so I'll be going now."
Xia Jun watched Xia Xue flee as if running away, and muttered to himself with a helpless expression, "Am I that scary?"
……
"This is the patient's information."
Chu Mian, who was driving, handed a document to Xia Xue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with one hand.
"Hey, a financial tycoon from Haicheng."
This patient turned out to be the wife of a financial tycoon in Haicheng.
"That Pei Yanchuan who's been called the second Xia Jun?"
Chu Mian glanced at Xia Xue in surprise.
"Do you know him?"
Xia Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know him, but I've paid attention to him because of his reputation. My father would occasionally mention him in casual conversation, praising his abilities and calling him a rising star. He has high hopes for him."
I almost forgot Xia Xue's other identity.
Chu Mian nodded in realization: "Yes, it's him. It's good that you know him. The person who came to see the doctor this time was his wife."
Xia Xue glanced at his wife's diagnosis and frowned, saying, "It's just infidelity, right? Is it really worth making such a fuss over? Are you trying to send her to a mental hospital?"
Chu Mian smiled and shook her head, saying, "Don't worry, the patients I take on will never be the kind of patients who are made up out of thin air."
Xia Xue tapped on the diagnostic reports issued by other psychologists in the data.
"However, all these people believe that his wife, Ms. Lin Qian, does not have any psychological problems."
Chu Mian smiled and said, "Doesn't this just prove that Mr. Pei Yanchuan really wants to cure the illness?"
With Pei Yanchuan's wealth and influence, if he really wanted to send his wife, who had shared his hardships, to a mental hospital, he wouldn't need to make such a big fuss and let everyone know.
Xia Xue nodded thoughtfully.
"That makes sense. Was she one of your previous patients?"
Chu Mian shook her head.
"I previously assisted one of my senior colleagues in diagnosing this patient, and I have a general understanding of Lin Qian's situation. I agree with these diagnoses; Ms. Lin Qian does not have any psychological problems."
Xia Xue put down the documents and glanced at Chu Mian.
"So, you believe that Lin Qian was affected by something that science cannot explain, something that involves metaphysics, which is why she became like this."
Chu Mian nodded.
Her transformation was too sudden.
Without any warning, she suddenly stopped loving her husband of six years and her child who was like the apple of her eye. She completely disregarded her parents whom she had always respected and her best friend, and even gave up the career she had persisted in even after getting married and having children.
She seems to have gone mad these past two years, throwing herself wholeheartedly at a man she's only met once, who is inferior to her husband in every way, including looks, ability, and character.
She did all sorts of stupid things for this man.
This is too unusual.
This plot really sounds like a mindless short drama.
Xia Xue put down her documents, rolled down the car window, looked at the busy crowd outside, and casually said, "In that case, let's meet them."
My premonition is growing stronger.
Hey heroine, here I come.
"what?"
Xia Xue narrowed her eyes.
"Someone is spying on us!"
……
At the previous intersection, a blue sports car following Chu Mian turned onto another road. Sitting in the driver's seat, his body swayed freely to the music. With a young and handsome face and dressed in designer clothes, he was the epitome of a rich second-generation who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Only his eyes, deep and obsessive, stared intently at the vehicles ahead, completely unlike the relaxed and carefree demeanor he projected.
"Mianmian, I'm here."
