Chapter 1299: A Master's Move

ait for those three to react, we'll lose our advantage."Then silence fell over the office, broken only by the occasional rustle of paper."Humph! I'm not signing. This is clearly a disadvantage for us!..."How did you confirm that"

Ripples asked curiously.

After entering the company, I saw this small villa and then looked it up. It turned out to be the rumored haunted house. But I felt that things shouldn't be as simple as they seemed on the surface, so I used my personal connections to investigate further.

"My friend from the Civil Affairs Bureau told me that during that time period, there were no records of anyone named Tao Jingfeng and Xi Ruo getting a marriage certificate."

The intermediary probably just went to check out of curiosity.

"If you put it that way, Xi Yao must have been deceived. Legally speaking, she is an unwed mother, and her child can't even register for a household. The child is already a year old. Doesn't she know something"

Ripple, following her guess, didn't realize how close her speculation actually was to the truth.

Then no one would know, unless they found Xi Nuo. Unfortunately, Xi Nuo hasn't appeared for the past fifteen years since then, and there's been no news of her.

The intermediary whispered, then glanced at the ripples that seemed to be lost in thought. He cautiously asked:

"Miss Chou, are you satisfied with this house Or shall we look at some other ones tomorrow"

The house is average, but I'm interested in the story behind it, so I want to buy it. You can talk directly to the owner and try to get the price as low as possible. You know what to say!

Ripple smiled and asked.

"Really Miss Chou wants to... be willing to... buy this house"

The estate agent is really excited.

"It's more real than gold, but my funds are limited. Whether we can strike a deal depends on you."

"No problem, Miss Chou. The current owner of this house actually wanted to sell it a while ago, but unfortunately, no one was interested. So he had to settle for renting it out, but unfortunately, several tenants ended up leaving voluntarily, so it has been vacant ever since. As long as the price is reasonable, the owner should be willing to let it go."

The real estate agent is very good at talking. Lian Yi immediately understood the other party's meaning. The homeowner really wanted to sell this property, but unfortunately, no one was interested. As long as she offered a reasonable price, the homeowner should accept it.

Then, please trouble you with that, young sir.

The ripples, after the intermediary had eaten dinner with them, parted ways.

After a good night's sleep, Lian Yi had rice porridge cooked with spring water in the morning. Pan Chen then drove Feng to return home.

Pan Chen opened the car door, and Feng jumped out of the passenger seat before landing in Lian Yi's arms.

"The matter has been resolved."

Ripple asked.

“Thank you, Ms. Chou, for your help. The matter has been handled, and I estimate that there will be a verdict on Fong Yin in two days.”

Pan Chen immediately said.

"Hurricane, you've worked hard!"

Ripples stroked the hurricane's head and chuckled.

Pan Chen glanced at his watch and still simply recounted the events.

Yesterday, the detective and I went to the Feng family's house one after the other. My excuse was to take another look at Feng Yin's living environment and use her personality as a starting point for my defense. The officer was there to conduct a second round of evidence collection, checking for any overlooked details.

I pointed the Feng family's location to Cyclone, and we split up. While we were asking about the Feng family's parents, Cyclone screamed in the backyard, startling us. So, naturally, we all went to the backyard to check it out.

Then they discovered animal skeletons dragged out by the whirlwind. It wasn't just one place; the whirlwind unearthed many from the flower beds and under the roots of trees in the back garden of the封家 (fēngjiā) estate. The investigating officers immediately set up a perimeter and began examining the back garden, ultimately unearthing no less than twenty animal skeletons. Among them were pets that had gone missing nearby, while the rest were stray cats and dogs.

The mother also discovered the skeletal remains of a pair of rabbit pets she had given her daughter when she was a child. She fainted at that moment.

"Even after so long, she could still recognize the rabbit from its bones. She has sharp eyes!"

Ripples suddenly chimed in.

She said one of the rabbits' legs had once been accidentally broken by her daughter, and she was the one who set the bone. Her daughter felt guilty for a long time because of this, so she has a deep impression of it.

What does Fei Yin's mother do

Ripples suddenly asked.

He is an orthopedic doctor.

Ripple didn't ask any further questions, hugged Cyclone and Pan Chen goodbye, and when she got home, her phone buzzed with a notification. She glanced at it, it was a payment from Pan Chen to Cyclone for her performance fee.

Liàn Yī gave a spin to Xuān Fēng's head, laughing as she said:

"Twister, you're making more than I am now."

That's because the owner is too lazy to take action.

A whirlwind knows how to flatter.

"Shall I buy you some dried fish"

"No, it has no spiritual energy. Eating it won't increase your cultivation."

Xuanfeng considered himself an ambitious demon cultivator, so he decisively rejected the Dao.

"Alright, I'll research and make some spirited little fish jerky for you."

Ripples are generally more lenient towards their own people.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Each person and their animal companion are getting along well. The middleman is also making good progress, having already negotiated the bottom price and preparing to contact Ripples.

On the same day, a tall and rugged man went to Lian Yi's previous foreign trade company, but unfortunately, he arrived too late. The company had already closed down.

The man heard that the company's boss had been sued by a female subordinate for harassment, and he was found guilty. Not only was he imprisoned and fined, but his reputation was also ruined. He was too embarrassed to continue running the company here, so he hastily closed it down and left.

"So, do you know where all the employees of this company went"

The man asked, unwilling to give up.

"The company is gone, he must have found another job. I don't know where exactly though, we were just casual acquaintances and didn't keep in touch much."

A girl from the same floor answered the man's question. She only gave an answer because she thought the man was good-looking.

Thank you.

After thanking the man, he left.

He stood before the skyscraper, watching the throngs of people on the bustling street. He frowned, and ultimately returned to a small inn, making a phone call.

"Master, I couldn't find anyone."

"How could it not be found, is there a problem with the address"

The address is fine, but her workplace went out of business, and she doesn't know where she went.

Men speak their minds.

"Alright, I'll go inquire first. You should start training first. Contact me anytime if anything happens."

Yes, Master.

After hanging up the phone, the man went to a place where idlers liked to gather to inquire about news.

The next morning, after Liàn Yī just finished washing up and made a handful of spirited dried fish for Xuán Fēng, she received a call from the real estate agent to discuss buying a house.

Ripples readily agreed and went to the agency for a detailed discussion.

The intermediary, after pouring water for Lianyi, got straight to the point:

"Miss Chou, the owner is eager to sell the house quickly. He's asking for 100,000 yuan. What do you think"

"I don't have much money, only eighty thousand. Ask the homeowner if they're willing. If they are, we can close the deal today. If not, then forget it."

The ripples were crisp and clear. This was the original owner's current savings, plus all the money they had earned with Tornado after coming together, as well as Lu Yu's compensation.

"Let me call and check on that."

The intermediary didn't expect the ripples to still be a master negotiator. man nicknamed "Strong Brother" was short, fat, and unattractive. He just had a big bulge around his waist, like he was hiding something. As he swept his gaze over the four of them, he showed off a m...
