Chapter 413 The Ultimate Skill of Murong of Gusu: Shifting Stars and Changing Positions

"You mean the people following me all this time might all be private investigators, not paparazzi trying to get dirt on me? What the hell! Who the hell has the time to hire people to follow me for months?"

He Daqi was both angry and amused when he heard the news Qin Long told him early in the morning.

Zhou Huimin's expression was somewhat unpleasant, her delicate eyebrows furrowed. Before Qin Long could answer He Daqi's question, she directly asked, "You only found out it was a private investigator? Did you find out who ordered it?"

Qin Long shook his head: "I didn't find anything. I only found out that the other party had been following us when we had a minor collision with them last time. When we went back and checked the dashcam footage, we found out that they had been following us. We then traced them back to their ID number, which was noted down by the traffic police during the mediation."

He Daqi was speechless.

He laughed absurdly twice, then his face turned cold.

If he hadn't decided to announce his two children to the public through a variety show this year, and if the other party had actually found out something, he probably would have been in big trouble if he hadn't been prepared.

"...Who could it be?" He Daqi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze gradually deepening as he muttered to himself in thought.

Zhou Huimin heard what he was muttering to himself and began to frown and think.

Neither of them noticed that Chen Shuangxi, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, slowly moved to the villa's gate with small, quick steps. The gate was ajar, so no one noticed him slowly opening it and going out.

Once inside the villa, he took out his phone and made a call.

After telling Wang Rui everything that had happened to He Daqi, he asked, "Uncle, should I go back to Macau or Hong Kong and find some people? I have a feeling this isn't targeting He Sheng, but rather like they're investigating us."

"Investigate us? Investigate what? Are you crazy? We're doing legitimate work now. Even the inland economic investigation unit praises us as a major taxpayer and a good example of law-abiding citizens. Why would anyone bother investigating us?" Wang Rui asked with a light laugh.

"Well... He Sheng is just a celebrity, there's no reason for someone to go to such lengths to target him, right?"

Chen Shuangxi's words alerted Wang Rui. Instead of following Chen Shuangxi's line of thought, he asked about something else.

"When you and your brother were at the Yang family's house, did you hit that Yang family member?"

In the home of someone surnamed Yang?
Chen Shuangxi was slightly taken aback, then realized what Wang Rui was talking about, and quickly replied, "No, it wasn't at his house, it was at the nightclub. I wanted to make a move, but he called you, so I didn't."

Upon hearing this, Wang Rui raised an eyebrow. So he hadn't gone to look for someone's home; he had been waiting for them at the nightclub.

After pondering for a while, Wang Rui asked again, "Who else has Daqi had a grudge against? Think carefully, the kind that involves physical violence."

"I slapped a celebrity in South Korea. My brother and I did it." Ever since Chen Shuangxi and Lin Jie were assigned to follow He Daqi by Wang Rui, this was the only time they had slapped someone, so Chen Shuangxi remembered it vividly and immediately recounted it.

"Is that so? What's the name? I'll make a call and ask my fellow disciples over there."

Pei Yingjun.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuangxi didn't rush back to the villa. He knew that Wang Rui would call back later.

Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, the phone rang.

"Hey, Uncle."

"That was a stable boy, and he's very well-behaved now. Back then, Daqi was filming a Seagate movie, so he didn't dare pursue the matter. Therefore, it wasn't him."

Let me think... Since Daqi and the others are already on guard, let's stall for time. Just be careful and prevent anything serious from happening. The Olympics are being held in Beijing this year, so no one will dare to cause trouble at this time. Besides, it's not convenient for our people to take action here. We can deal with whatever comes up after the Olympics.
"Oh! Right! Remember to give Daqi a suggestion: others can hire private investigators to investigate him, and he can also hire private investigators to investigate the private investigators following him. Just throw money at it, and they'll pull each other apart, so the private investigators following Daqi won't have the energy to continue investigating."

Chen Shuangxi's lips twitched. Sure enough, his uncle's ideas always took an unconventional approach.

"I understand, Uncle."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuangxi put his phone in his pocket, turned around and went back to the villa entrance. He gently pushed the door open, intending to slip in unnoticed once more.

When he opened the door, he found He Daqi, Zhou Huimin, and Qin Long staring at him strangely as he walked in.

"Shuangxi, where did you go just now? Brother Long was just about to arrange the bodyguards and wanted to discuss it with you, but when he turned around, you were gone." He Daqi asked with a smile.

"I went out to make a phone call."

No one questioned Chen Shuangxi about why she went out to make the phone call. When Qin Long saw Chen Shuangxi return, he told her about his plan to rearrange the bodyguards' schedule. He was going to lead a team to investigate the private investigator business, and he wanted Qin Hu to drive for He Daqi. He also wanted Chen Shuangxi to take over the tasks that Qin Hu used to be in charge of for a period of time, until Qin Long returned.

After Qin Long finished explaining his plan, Chen Shuangxi shook his head and rejected it, saying, "Brother Long, there's no need to go through all that trouble. We can just hire a private investigator and let them investigate. Let them fight amongst themselves, and we can just stick to the way things were before."

Ok?
He Daqi, Zhou Huimin, and Qin Long looked at Chen Shuangxi strangely once again.

Is this the kind of idea Chen Shuangxi could come up with?

Upon hearing this idea, Zhou Huimin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "That's right! We can hire a private investigator. We have plenty of money; we can just throw money at it."

Since Qin Long no longer needed to investigate, He Daqi changed the subject, stroking his chin as he said, "Then let's investigate who might want to expose my dirty secrets. First, let's rule out Xie Tingfeng. He's happy and content now, so he's unlikely to cause trouble for no reason. Hmm... right, I offended someone in South Korea back then. Let's arrange for a few private investigators to go to South Korea and ask them."

“It’s not the one from South Korea. He was just a stable boy, and it was a Seagate movie they were filming. He wouldn’t dare retaliate,” Chen Shuangxi said firmly.

Since Uncle said no after asking his fellow disciples there, then it must be no. Uncle has never been wrong.

Seeing Chen Shuangxi's determined look, He Daqi began to have doubts.

What's wrong with Shuangxi today? It's like she's suddenly become intelligent.

However, Chen Shuangxi's words made sense. Pei Yingjun didn't seem like someone who would dare to mess with Seagate. Even if he wanted revenge, it was unlikely that he would have someone follow him for months.

He Daqi stroked his chin, lost in thought.

He was getting stuck on one point and didn't think about Zhang Weiping. Back then, he led the Ya Yue group to attack Xin Hua Mian. Now that Zhang Yimou had come to Ya Yue, he thought the matter was over. However, He Daqi didn't consider how much the remaining Zhang Yimou hated him after Xin Hua Mian left.

……

……

The Lunar New Year is almost here, and yesterday we had another heavy snowfall.

After signing several names on the first floor, He Daqi came out of the CCTV building. Looking at the pine trees covered with snow, he straightened his body and walked quickly towards the nanny car.

Zhou Huimin was already waiting in the car. Her performance was earlier than He Daqi's. After rehearsing, she didn't want to stay in the CCTV building and chat with others, so she came out early and started playing on her phone in the car.

Seeing He Daqi open the car door and get in, Zhou Huimin looked away, continued looking at her phone, and softly instructed, "Xiaobai, let's go, let's go straight back."

“Okay, Miss Zhou.” Bai Wei nodded and started the van.

He Daqi glanced at Zhou Huimin's phone screen and saw her directing her haters to argue with her fans again. He couldn't help but smirk. "Stop playing around. What do you think about me getting a new van this year? Too many people know that old one. If I get a new one, it won't be easy for anyone to follow me."

"Whatever, it's fine."

Zhou Huimin replied without looking up, her fingers flying across the screen, the nine-key Pinyin keypad almost leaving afterimages.

The convoy slowly drove onto the highway from the parking lot outside the Central Government Building. Not long after, an old Santana followed, trailing behind the convoy at a moderate distance.

Then, not far behind him, there was another old Jetta, followed by an old Buick, and then a minivan. These cars seemed to be competing with the old Santana, weaving in and out of its path.

At first, the old Santana followed He Daqi's convoy, but gradually it stopped following and started circling the Third Ring Road from a fork in the road.

With a hissing sound, the walkie-talkie in the van crackled to life: "Number One, Number One, they've gone for a walk again."

"Number One received, Number One received. Ignore them, keep an eye on the rear." Qin Long replied into the walkie-talkie.

He Daqi chuckled and patted Chen Shuangxi, who was sitting in the middle row: "Shuangxi, your idea is really good. It doesn't cost much money and it gets things done."

Chen Shuangxi was too embarrassed to say that it was Wang Rui's idea that came up casually, so she smiled demurely and did not respond to He Daqi.

The sound of the marimba bells rang out.

He Daqi took out his phone, glanced at it, and swiped to answer.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Daqi, come to the company this afternoon if you're free. If not, tomorrow is fine too. Come see me before the Lunar New Year. Lu Yang has finished filming the nightclub scene and is editing it at the company. Come take a look and give me your feedback." Ning Hao's carefree voice came from the phone.

"You guys filmed pretty quickly."

"Nonsense, it's a low-budget film, how long do we need to shoot it? If we drag it out any longer, the production costs will increase."

He Daqi knew that Ning Hao wanted him, the investor, to go and take a look at the unfinished product. After all, the holiday was coming soon, and if he didn't go and take a look, it might be another half month before construction could resume. He Daqi thought for a moment and said, "No need for this afternoon. I'll go over in a bit. Actually, it didn't cost much. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

"What do you think Lu Yang will think? Won't he feel like you don't care about the low-budget film you made?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be there in a bit."

After He Daqi hung up the phone, before he could even speak, his driver Bai Wei asked, "Daqi, are we going to the company?"

"Correct."

Upon hearing this, Qin Long picked up the walkie-talkie: "Attention everyone, attention everyone, follow the lead car, we're going to Yonghui Qiming Building."

Twenty minutes later, Ho Tai-kai and Chow Wai-man led the Dragon Tiger Brothers and Chan Shuang-hei into the private elevator from the underground parking garage.

Previously, the Dragon and Tiger Brothers wouldn't come up with them, and sometimes Chen Shuangxi wouldn't come either. Now that they know someone is following He Daqi, they've started coming up with them.

He Daqi didn't plan to stay here for long this time; he just wanted to take a quick look and leave.

So after getting off the elevator, he led the group directly to where Ning Hao and Lu Yang were working.

"The Great Qi has arrived. Hello, Miss Zhou." Ning Hao nodded and greeted her.

"Yes, hello." Vivian Chow nodded as well.

"Senior brother, I'd like to wish you and Miss Zhou a Happy New Year in advance." Lu Yang smiled and stood up when he saw He Daqi arrive.

"Haha, I wish you a Happy New Year too." He Daqi patted him on the shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down and continue editing.

"Senior, take a look at my filming and give me some feedback." Lu Yang edited the film according to the order of the plot, which is generally how newcomers do, so the opening segment is already finished.

Looking at the video Lu Yang pulled up, He Daqi barely glanced at it before giving a perfunctory compliment: "Hmm, it's well-made. I think it's pretty good. Keep up the good work. I have no objections."

"Could you be any more perfunctory?" Ning Hao clicked his tongue.

"It's really good, I really think it's great. Lu Yang, don't overthink it. Our senior brother is just stirring things up and ruining the relationship between us." He Daqi ignored Ning Hao and instead put his hand on Lu Yang's shoulder with a smile.

Ning Hao was just about to make a joke about He Daqi's insincere words.

Then they heard a series of hurried footsteps.

Running in high heels makes a lot of noise, especially when everyone is working peacefully, it's hard not to notice.

Almost everyone peeked over and saw Wang Jinghua holding her phone, listening to something as she ran towards the office. Clearly, she had encountered an emergency and was rushing back to the company.

He didn't seem to have encountered anything bad, so He Daqi shouted.

"Sister Hua, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

Wang Jinghua paused, turned her head to look at He Daqi and Zhou Huimin, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Great, Daqi, Vivian, it's perfect that you're both here. Come and have a little chat."

"Sister Hua, you haven't said what it is yet."

"Stop dawdling and get on with it!"

Seeing Wang Jinghua's hurried appearance, He Daqi and Zhou Huimin exchanged a glance, then turned and walked together toward the office.

Upon entering the office, she found Liu Ying and Wu Nannan there as well. They were also looking at Wang Jinghua with blank expressions, wondering what was wrong with her today.

"Sister Hua, has one of your artists suddenly become famous?" Wu Nannan asked with a smile.

"Come here, everyone, come here! Breaking news! You'll see for yourselves when you see it." Wang Jinghua mysteriously opened her laptop, then clicked on a forum, and beckoned Liu Ying, Wu Nannan, He Daqi, and Zhou Huimin to come and take a look.

Her secretive approach piqued everyone's curiosity, and they all gathered around to look at the computer screen.

"Fuck!!!"

After He Daqi read the contents, he couldn't help but swear.
