This actor is full of tricks.

"What's wrong with you now?"

Chen Fu leaned against the hood of his sports car, looking at Lin Jue, who had transformed into Zhao Huayu, with a strange expression.

"I have some things to do in Jiuyuan. I'll change things up and change my mood." Lin Jue opened the passenger door and got in very naturally.

"Hey, did I tell you to sit down?" Chen Fu clicked his tongue, opened the car door, and joked as he fastened his seatbelt, "I wasn't right about what I said earlier. You're the honorary minister of the Sanjiang Inspection Department now, so I should be the one opening the car door for you."

"Captain, why does that sound so sour?" Lin Jue pulled down the mirror in front of him and adjusted his expression.

“Sanjiang already has a lot going on, and Lao Bai even made me your personal driver. Who would be happy about that?” Chen Fu cursed, opened the armrest box, and took out a bank card: “Here, this is the reward for this operation. It’s a big seven-figure sum. The password is six sixes. It’s from headquarters.”

A seven-figure sum would be at least five million.

Lin Jue didn't stand on ceremony and cheerfully put the card into his pocket; no one would complain about having too much money.

"And this too." Chen Fu took out another piece of paper from the armrest box: "This is what you wanted."

This is a temporary identity certificate, and it even has a formal red stamp. I have to say, it's really convenient to have authority on you. With just one phone call, in less than half an hour, not only was the identity certificate ready, but a dedicated driver was also found.

Chen Fu lit a cigarette, floored the gas pedal, and drove off. He kept his eyes on the road ahead and asked as he drove, "Can you tell me what's going on?"

"Do you know about the Wisteria Community?" Lin Jue looked at the scenery rushing past the window and thought to himself that he really should buy a car. It was fine to use shared bikes in Sanjiang City, but he couldn't go on long trips without a car.

“I know. It was originally something the Firefly Squad was supposed to handle, but they stopped doing anything after they heard you went.” Chen Fu flicked his cigarette ash. “You mean, what you were going to do in Jiuyuan this time is related to the Wisteria Community?”

Lin Jue nodded and talked a little about the shrine.

"You mean, a vicious beast might descend upon Quming County?" Chen Fu slammed on the brakes, looking at Lin Jue with a serious expression. "Are you sure?"

"This is just my guess, but I think it's pretty close to the truth," Lin Jue nodded.

"You still dare to investigate this matter? Are you really courting death?" Chen Fu said, taking out his phone. "No, I have to report to headquarters. This kind of thing requires Wang to handle it."

Lin Jue quickly pressed Chen Fu's hand down: "Don't worry, I already said it's just a guess. If I really encounter something I can't handle, I will definitely ask you for help. Don't you know my personality?"

"Things are still under my control. The most vicious monster hasn't even arrived yet, so don't bother asking the King to take action. Using the King to deal with some third or fourth-tier guys is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito."

He had one more thing he didn't say: if Wang were to intervene, the scripts would probably end before they were even finished, and then there would be no reward.

If he is truly unsure, it wouldn't be too late to have Chen Fu and the others invite a king.

Chen Fu was skeptical of Lin Jue's words, but considering that Lin Jue was not a reckless person and would not easily try things he was not sure of, he put down his phone and said, "Then you should be careful too."

"No problem." Lin Jue lowered his seat a little and closed his eyes. "Captain, I'm going to rest for a while. I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, and I even drank some alcohol yesterday." Although he said he was going to sleep, Lin Jue was actually thinking about the follow-up plan and the Five-Star Script with his eyes closed.

About an hour later, the sports car drove out of the Jiuyuan toll station, and Chen Fu directly left Lin Jue on Yingbin Avenue: "You can take a taxi here by yourself. There are still a lot of things to do in Sanjiang."

After saying that, he turned around and disappeared at the end of the road in the blink of an eye.

"Really." Lin Jue shook his head, searching for directions on his phone. When he saw that it was still 30 kilometers away from the Golden Rose Hotel, his eyelids twitched.

That guy Chen Fu...

Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like he should buy a car, preferably a large Jinbei van, as it was durable.

After scanning a shared bike, he rode directly towards the Golden Rose Hotel. Although it was a 30-kilometer journey, he knew he had to be frugal, so he rode quite fast.

Along the way, Lin Jue rode while taking in the surroundings of Jiuyuan.

It's not too late yet, not even four or five o'clock. There are hardly any people on the streets of Jiuyuan. Occasionally, you'll see a few passersby who look nervous and are hurrying home, glancing around nervously. Many shops along the way have already closed at this time.

Compared to Sanjiang, the overall atmosphere in Jiuyuan was much more tense, with everyone seemingly on edge. However, considering the demeanor of the Jiuyuan Inspection Division, it was understandable why the citizens of Jiuyuan were in this state.

In this city, not only do people have to face the eeriness shrouded in mist, but they also get extorted by the Inspection Department while dealing with strange events. Safety is not guaranteed at all, and everyone is on edge.

[Scene 1: You arrive in Jiuyuan City, which borders the three rivers, and experience its unique local customs and culture. You plan to stay here for a few more days. Suddenly, you remember the room manager you met in Buming Village, and you decide to stay at the Golden Rose Hotel where he works.]

Before coming here, Lin Jue had already accepted the script for the eye, and now that he has arrived in Jiuyuan City, the plot has been automatically triggered.

Just as the shared bike's range was about to run out, Lin Jue arrived at the Golden Rose Hotel, located in the eastern suburbs of Jiuyuan, adjacent to the old train station.

Before the fog descended, Jiuyuan was a tourist city with a constant stream of visitors. The Golden Rose Hotel was originally a motel, which enjoyed a period of prosperity due to its geographical advantages, and gradually developed from a motel into a large hotel.

However, after the fog descended, some strange things happened, and it gradually declined.

Lin Jue had found this information online and had made ample preparations before coming.

However, when Lin Jue actually saw the Golden Rose Hotel, he was somewhat surprised, because the information online and the room manager said that the hotel had declined. But Lin Jue also saw that a new building was being built next to the hotel. The main structure of the building had already been erected, and there were pile foundations under construction behind the building, so it looked like another building was going to be built.

With the economy in decline, how can they afford to build new buildings? And two at once? What are they doing? Are they trying to gamble?
Lin Jue couldn't quite understand the hotel owner's thought process, but that wasn't his purpose in coming here to study it, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, pushed open the revolving door, and walked into the hotel.
