Chapter 1003: Chapter 1002: What to Do When Even More Anxious

"Si Lingxi, female, thirty years old, from Qi S City, Qin Province. She went abroad with her parents as a child, grew up in Malaysia, but still retains Hua Country nationality. A few days ago, her parents passed away, and she returned to live in the country.

Shen Ying, female, twenty-eight years old, from Jin H City, Zhejiang Province. She went abroad with her parents as a child, grew up in Malaysia, but still retains Hua Country nationality. A few days ago, her parents passed away, and she returned to live in the country.

Liu Qingyan, female, twenty-six years old, from Beng B City, Hu Province. She went abroad with her parents as a child, grew up in Malaysia, but still retains Hua Country nationality. A few days ago, her parents passed away, and she returned to live in the country."

"..."

"This is too much, it’s too perfunctory, isn’t it obvious there’s a problem?"

"But the problem is, all this information was sourced from various official databases within the country, her family situations have records going back decades.

And all the information about them is recorded in the databases, very complete. As long as they don’t break the law, with their information, they can easily pass any normal checks.

Moreover, the identity cards they currently hold were reissued in the last half of last year, as real identity cards. If we were to check using previous methods of investigating fake IDs, we wouldn’t find them even if we searched forever.

Of course, although all the online information is true, according to the results of our field investigations, this information does not match reality at all, at least, the locals do not remember these three women’s parents from the records.

Furthermore, according to the investigation reports from Malaysian intelligence personnel, there are no traces of these three families existing locally.

Also, before the last half of last year, there’s no information about these three in global hotel, transportation, and consumption records. It’s as if they appeared out of thin air.

In other words, these three women’s identity information is legally real, but practically fake. The key point is, we checked the backends of various databases and found no signs of tampering, meaning..."

"Does that mean there’s also a super hacker?"

"Yes."

"Could it be Lu Zheng, whose major was just in computer science."

"Uncertain, there are no signs and clues, but it’s very possible, because Zhao Xiaodao had a conflict with a celebrity before, and that celebrity’s scandals were exposed through someone involved."

"Okay, keep going."

"Alright, the first verifiable location they appeared was at last November’s Hai City Full Armor Combat Invitational and later that night at Dark Night Star Bar."

"Snap!"

With a light sound, the video began to play on the large screen in the meeting room.

"This is last November’s competition footage from the Full Armor Combat Invitational between Hai City Wuyue Club and Gaul Saint Lion Club, featuring them sitting together with Lu Zheng, and the video from that night at Dark Night Star Bar."

The bar video was played through completely and then switched to a map of Hai City.

The host said, "From the locations in these two videos, a previous small case now has an answer."

"The residential building fire?"

"Yes, according to our mapped out routes, they should have been passing by that burning residential building at the time."

"Heh, it really is eye-opening... "

"Afterwards, they began frequently using identity information to operate, registered on various online platforms, such as MouDian, Penguin Video, Zhifou, Bilibili, Douyin, Weibo, etc.

Si Lingxi is very talented in music, registered an account named Si Huang on every platform, often commenting under ancient music videos on Bilibili, with edgy remarks that sparked considerable debate and attention.

Shen Ying mainly focused on Douyin, uploaded more than a dozen transformation videos one after another, which got some fame in the transformation circle after being reposted by Zhao Xiaodao.

Liu Qingyan is not active online, but often browses various medical platforms, with particular attention to various papers and news in Chinese medicine."

"Si Huang... Si Huang..."

Everyone present looked at each other, almost all having their own guesses.

"After being besieged on Bilibili, Si Lingxi uploaded an ancient piece ’Flowers Blooming’, instantly turning the situation around, and later signed a contract with the ’Biluo Song’ crew produced by Zhao Xiaodao, using several pieces of music for the TV drama.

Soon after, the trailers with those ancient music soundtracks exploded in popularity, making Si Lingxi widely known, but she never responded to any private messages or comments, almost as if..."

"Almost as if she is indifferent to everything, to any praise, defamation, earnest or superficial evaluations, all unnoticed."

"Yes, from Si Lingxi’s behavior in the bar video, she is someone who is absolutely self-centered."

"No, you’re wrong, it’s not self-centeredness, but that others cannot catch her eye. Look, she values Lu Zheng very much, even creating tunes for Lu Zheng."

"Then she is... above it all?"

The elder in the main seat nodded, "You could say that, like a proud Phoenix, how can mortals catch her eye?"

Once said, the meeting room fell silent.

"To me, they feel like Immortals playing in the Mortal World, fitting into the secular world, yet remaining detached from it." said another middle-aged man, "Although they have done many good deeds, it seemed more like a casual act of indifference."

Another middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, and from the existing data, it’s clear Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi as three are two distinct cases."

The crowd exchanged glances, all frowning.

Possession? Transmigration? System? Summoning?

Cross-generational inheritance? Secret Realm seal? Alien visitors? Immortals descending to the Mortal World?

Despite the age of these people, their imagination raced wildly.

"Oh, and there’s another important piece of news. This may indicate that they also have needs in modern society." The host said. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"What news?"

"Three months ago, Lu Zheng leased several large warehouses, purchasing a batch of Chinese medicinal herbs, various high-yield grain seeds, and a large number of old rice from Huai Ren Hall, Hai City Grain Storage, and a grain seed company.

We retrieved surveillance footage from the warehouse base over the past three months. The warehouses have only had entries with no exits, but when Lu Zheng terminated the lease a few days ago, the warehouses were already empty.

Furthermore, according to recent surveillance, we discovered that Lu Zheng and the three women of Si Lingxi disappeared together for over a month."

"Medicinal herbs? Grain? High-yield seeds? Disappeared for over a month?"

In the minds of these top figures, various speculations collided and analyzed, several most likely scenarios already formed in their minds.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The leading elder tapped the table, calmly saying, "The analysis is mostly done, now let’s say, what should be done?"

The crowd exchanged silent glances, then sighed in unison and shook their heads in silence. This is the hardest situation, unable to grasp the true intentions of the other party and their attitude towards themselves and others!

"In the past, it was worrying about finding a target, always unable to find the other party, causing people a lot of anxiety."

"Now the target, at least one of the targets has been found, but how to approach without offending them, causes even more anxiety..."

"Sigh..."
