Just as Li Wenzhong was thinking about this, Su Lai—who he’d sent out earlier— came back.

Su Lai and other team members had gone to investigate the workers who had built the building; they came back now with some information. 

“The workers said that a woman in a wheelchair came to them and told them that they could solve their troubles and make Changjiu Real Estate pay their salaries. But she also said that in order to succeed, they had to pay a price—such as going to jail. After hearing this, the workers still agreed to Fang Ruoshui’s conditions.”

Su Lai sighed as he recalled the appearance of these workers.

Several workers involved in the incident were all taken away for investigation. They knew the thing they helped do was bad, but they didn’t know exactly what it was. Considering that they were not the main offenders, but were simply accomplices, then the punishment should be relatively light.

Fortunately, this matter has caused such a big fuss that Changjiu Company had to pay the total unpaid salary amounting to 56 million yuan, and hundreds of workers finally got the salary they were due.

“Write down the matter of Fang Ruoshui’s involvement in the report, and submit it. We’ll do our best to arrest Fang Ruoshui,” Li Wenzhong instructed. 

“Understood.”

“Understood.”

Li Wenzhong gathered his thoughts and suddenly remembered the person who played a decisive role in this matter. “By the way, there is also the matter of Miss An helping us. Now that the case is solved, you can inform her of the result.”

“Okay.” Lin Weiyu was honestly a little dazed when thinking of An Rugu’s miraculous speed in finding the cache. “That master is really amazing.”

Li Wenzhong thought for a while and said, “I remember she said that she was a Daoist priest from Cloud Rise Temple in the suburbs of Nancheng. She should be a master who shuns the world. You can just tell her face-to-face when the time comes.”

Lin Weiyu agreed.

But hearing this, Su Lai’s face became a little complicated. He took out his mobile phone, opened an interface, and handed it to Li Wenzhong. “Captain, you may have some misunderstanding about the phrase ‘shuns the world’.”

Li Wenzhong took the phone and looked at the display: the Weibo hot searches for Nancheng came into view.

<Welcome The Sun, Rise From Clouds v> : [Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. Changjiu Company will definitely go bankrupt this year.]

The initial comments were basically questioning An Rugu’s divination. But when the negative news about Changjiu Company was exposed, the trend of the comments on Weibo suddenly reversed a bit.

[Master, Changjiu Company has been exposed to have committed tax evasion, and the Tax Department is now intervening. There is something in what you said.]

[Streamer, you are so smart—can you help me figure out when my rich parents will come to see me? I have been waiting for them for more than twenty years already.]

[Wake up, stop dreaming.]

[As long as you eat a peanut, you won’t be so drunk.]

Li Wenzhong looked at the tens of thousands of fans on An Rugu’s account, and could only remain silent: “…”

It was a cloudy day, and there was a slight drizzle from the sky, but now that Cloud Rise Temple was a hot topic, many people still especially came to Cloud Rise Temple to offer  incense.

An Rugu put the talisman in the box and handed it to Shang Yue, “When you guide them to burn incense, you can also introduce the talisman to them.”

Shang Yue held the box gingerly, as if she was holding a hot potato, and felt that this task was a bit too difficult. “You are making me—a ghost!—sell some charms to exorcise ghosts…”

Wasn’t this too much bullying?!

An Rugu didn’t understand what Shang Yue meant, but thought that perhaps she was afraid that the talisman would hurt her, so she said, “This box is made of locust wood, which can isolate energy. As long as you don’t touch the talisman, it won’t hurt you. “

Shang Yue was speechless, she… Fine! She was simply a block of wood!

Shang Yue—a ghost—furiously left to sell the ghost-exorcising talismans. 

At the same time, Lin Weiyu and Su Lai, traveling through the village and the mountain fog, climbed up Cloud Rise Mountain

As soon as An Rugu saw them, she knew that they were here for matters relating to the Changjiu Group.

As expected, Lin Weiyu specially brought a bank card, “This is a bonus from our Bureau: 300,000 yuan.”

“But I’m not your employee.”

Lin Weiyu waved her hand, “Even if you’re not an employee, you are still entitled to this money.”

Whenever the Special Cases Management Bureau was working, in case of shortage of manpower, it would often recruit some capable people and outsiders. These people were not employed by the Bureau at all, but they still needed to be compensated—after all, they could not be allowed to work for nothing.

Hearing this, An Rugu no longer declined. She thanked Lin Weiyu and put the bank card away.

At this time, she thought of the cache under the Changjiu Building and asked, “What’s happened with that cached object?”

Before this, Lin Weiyu had already prepared that An Rugu would ask her about the details of the case and had no intention of hiding it, so she readily told An Rugu the information that could be made public.

She told her about A-level wanted criminal, Fang Ruoshui, as well as some matters about Youdu.

After all, there was strength in numbers, and An Rugu could also possibly catch Fang Ruoshui.

When Lin Weiyu thought of this, she glanced at An Rugu, and couldn’t help but smile at her own whimsy, feeling that she thought too much of their new fellow-practitioner.

The five most basic disciplines of metaphysics were ‘Mountain’, Medicine, Fate, Physiognomy¹, and Divination. These were the five skills of metaphysics.

Just like choosing a major in a university, everyone has their own major, and they strive for excellence within their chosen majors.

If she guessed correctly, An Rugu should be good at ‘phrenology’² just like her.

An Rugu judged faces as related to people, and Lin Weiyu judged feng shui as related to places.
