Chapter 621: Chapter 621 Out of Tune Relatives
Zhu Yuefu considered that the person with the Storage Magical Artifact might not necessarily be without a mobile phone—setting it to silent was more likely.
But it doesn’t matter if you set it to silent, even turning off the phone is useless.
He remembered very clearly one thing that happened when he was treating Master Qian to a meal.
With one arm around a delicate young girl, Master Qian spoke in a drunken slur, “Boss Zhu, rest assured, my whereabouts can be globally positioned by satellites, so that the nation can find me… I’m not bragging, I really am of that level.”
Whether Master Qian was bragging or not, Boss Zhu wasn’t very clear, but he believed that the nation had that capability.
Therefore, he hoped that the police could help him locate Feng Jun’s mobile phone signal.
However, he felt quite indignant in his heart: damn it, Shen Guangming is the main culprit, why harass me, a minor character? Is there any point?
Three hours later, he was woken up from his sleep by the ringing of the telephone once again.
This time, it was a beauty clinic calling—the same as the previous two calls, this clinic had also been burglarized.
Because the first two clinics experienced jamming of active surveillance, the beauty clinic set up an advanced camera outside, equipped with infrared lenses, to capture everything happening inside the clinic in real time.
The equipment at the beauty clinic was much more expensive, with the lost items valued at over twenty million.
But thankfully, being prepared and with Boss Zhu himself being a photography enthusiast who had even traveled to the Arctic Circle to capture the aurora borealis in time-lapse, causing a small sensation in photography circles, the clinic managed to roughly capture the thief’s figure—a slender figure wearing a Daoist Robe, even capturing a frontal view of the face, although the image was somewhat distorted and hard to recognize.
Even so, it was clear that this person was definitely not Feng Jun.
The aforementioned details are things that most people can easily understand. What comes next, however, are the things that most people don’t understand.
The person wandered around the clinic and then left, but what was baffling was—how did the equipment disappear afterward?
Another thing the police couldn’t understand: if you’re stealing something, you should wear something more practical. Wearing a Daoist robe to steal… hey, do you think you’re tomb raiding?
But Zhu Yuefu clearly understood the logic behind wearing a Daoist robe while stealing: the thief wanted to steal in whatever way they pleased and didn’t care what to wear.
The reason for wearing a Daoist robe was to convey to him, the owner, that their grievances originated from the Daoist Sects.
Zhu Yuefu was well aware of this, but he couldn’t explain it to the police, which caused him significant frustration.
However, at this time, putting aside his frustrations, he had to rush to the scene.
The loss was too significant, with over twenty million worth of equipment missing—how much could he earn in a year?
After arriving at the scene, he didn’t say much, took out an envelope, and placed it in front of the policeman handling the case, “A little token of appreciation, no disrespect intended, please let the officers working overtime have a meal… Also, may I ask which director is on duty tonight?”
The envelope was not small, its thickness indicating it held a hundred thousand yuan—even if it contained fifty-yuan notes, that’s still fifty thousand.
The policeman didn’t touch the envelope, but looked at him thoughtfully before speaking solemnly, “What are you implying?”
Zhu Yuefu didn’t beat around the bush, replying directly, “I might be able to provide information on the suspect. I’m just hoping you guys can work hard to find some evidence. Gathering evidence is quite expensive, and it’s tough on the brothers…”
After pausing, he continued, “As for seeking your on-duty director, I also wish to ask for his assistance in cracking down on them.”
The police officer understood: we handle the evidence, and our boss handles the arrest, is that it?
But he couldn’t accept the money, “You can provide us with the information on the suspect, but this issue still needs to be decided by the leadership, and… we can’t guarantee that we’ll find evidence.”
As expected, he couldn’t declare they would arrest someone just because he saw the money.
“I understand that,” Boss Zhu nodded, speaking with a dark expression, “But with the loss of over twenty million in equipment, I definitely won’t let this go. Compared to that, this money really isn’t much, so I hope you won’t find it too little.”
“You should keep it,” the policeman nodded, “You need to do your groundwork with our boss first.”
A theft of over twenty million was indeed a context for using various means, not to mention that Boss Zhu had made a substantial offer.
But after the experts conducted an investigation, they found no clues pointing to any individual from Zhengyang.
The two other clinics were also investigated, and even by the next morning, they still had nothing to show for it.
However, the police acquired Feng Jun’s real identity and, through his identification number, located the resort where he was staying.
Normally, they could have simply invited Feng Jun for a chat by now, but when they asked who booked the room, the police scratched their heads—a person from within the system? Who would dare to spend so much on hospitality at such a time?
Upon further inquiry, they learned that a police car was at the service of the guests, which meant… there was a big problem.
The person who helped with the room booking was just a subordinate of Elder Cousin Yang, and he didn’t even use the leader’s name. There was no way he could reveal the identity of the guests—this was the necessary caution.
However, Officer Xiao Tian was part of the police system, so communication with her was quite convenient.

The police, upon hearing that the suspect was related to the Yang Family, and moreover, the Yang Family of the capital city, really did not dare to meddle.
The presence of the Yang Family in Jin City wasn’t very strong, but that was just them being low-key. The police officers, who were in contact with people of all ranks every day, knew very well who could be provoked and who could not.
Strictly speaking, there was no reason for the police to question Feng Jun, as he had only been to those three hospitals the day before yesterday and then had no other activities—his mobile phone signal hadn’t appeared nearby, and the hospital fires and thefts occurred in the early hours of this morning.
Of course, it was possible to investigate without evidence, which was called scrutiny, but once it touched upon the Yang Family, things couldn’t proceed like that.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the Yang Family could arrange police cars and forces to protect these two people was enough to prove their importance.
Furthermore, they even found out Yang Yuxin’s real identity, which, in truth, many in Jin City knew about the prominent members of the Yang Family in the capital city—after all, the Yang Family was also the pride of the Zhengyang people.
The wife of the Gu Family! That status was too terrifying, even if Gu Laosan had already died, she had given birth to children for the Gu Family!
The police regretfully informed Zhu Yuefu, “Sorry, but we cannot help you. Don’t you see who you’re messing with?”
In fact, Zhu Yuefu had heard that among Feng Jun’s acquaintances were the powerful and wealthy, but who would have thought that one of the great powers he associated with was actually a person from Jin City.
So, it was clearly unrealistic to expect to trouble Feng Jun through the police.
However, Zhu Yuefu had been operating in Jin City for so many years, and it wasn’t for nothing. He had established some connections…
The next day, at 7:30 a.m., Yang Yuxin woke up. After finishing her morning routine, she saw Feng Jun was still in bed and didn’t disturb him—she could use the time to put on a facial mask instead.
She felt that after leaving Luohua Manor, her skin had become somewhat dry and loose and needed extra care.
When Officer Xiao Tian came over at 8:30 a.m. and found Feng Jun still hadn’t risen, she looked at Yang Yuxin with surprise. “President Feng is waking up so late today?”
Director Yang intended to explain, to say that we aren’t sleeping in the same room, but in the end, her mouth moved slightly, and she still didn’t speak.
And Feng Jun’s voice just happened to come from the room, “Who says I didn’t get up? I just meditated for a while this morning.”
By the time the three of them had breakfast, it was 9 a.m., and life in Jin City was typically slow-paced, so eating breakfast at this time was quite normal.
While eating breakfast, a phone call came through; it was one of Yang Yuxin’s aunts.
This aunt was a bit snobbish and money-loving. Because she was pretty, she was married off by Yang Yuxin’s paternal uncle, and as a result, the uncle was influenced by her and stumbled in his career.
Of course, if we’re being honest, it was also because the uncle himself wasn’t competent enough to rise, and now he was stuck in a sinecure while also doing some small business, basically just waiting for death.
His wife wasn’t very smart either, but she did know not to act superior to Yang Yuxin, her younger relative.
On the phone, she greeted her niece and then said she wanted to invite her for lunch at noon.
Yang Yuxin’s response was cold but polite, “There’s no need. I have other plans. I didn’t inform everyone of my return this time because I have some private matters to deal with… Who told you I was back?”
Her aunt hesitated to say that Zhu Yuefu wanted to see her and asked me to invite you on his behalf.
Yang Yuxin found this quite helpless; as a member of the Yang Family, she couldn’t treat her own family members as she would strangers, but even if the Yang Family wasn’t prolific, the relatives within the fifth degree of kinship alone were nearly a hundred. She couldn’t be too polite to each and every one of them.
Especially some people, who couldn’t be helped up, being too polite to these people would only add to her own troubles.
Like this aunt—my paternal uncle doesn’t come to find me, and you just call me directly, really thinking you have that much face?
Yang Yuxin bluntly asked: “What did you get out of delivering his message for him?”
The aunt hesitantly replied, “I’ve opened a local produce shop, and Boss Zhu buys quite a lot from me every year.”
Yang Yuxin frowned unwillingly and said very directly, “If he wants to see me, he can come himself. He’s not worthy of having someone invite me to dine.”
Those words were a real snub, and the aunt hung up the phone in an offended manner.
Only then did Yang Yuxin turn to Feng Jun, somewhat unsure, “If you don’t want to see him, I can decline after meeting him.”
“Heh,” Feng Jun chuckled, “There’s no harm in meeting. Let’s see what he wants to say.”
Just then, Officer Xiao Tian returned with a cup of water and overheard, asking, “Meeting who? Aren’t we going out to have fun this morning?”
“Of course, we’re going to have fun,” both Feng Jun and Yang Yuxin replied in unison. After a pause, Director Yang added another sentence, “Having fun is the main thing. As for these uninvited guests… let them wait.”
