He was initially disappointed that he had been rushing forward alone to clear the way and hadn't had a chance to have any close interactions with Lady Ningguang, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

Such a great opportunity! Even the system girl gave me a heart, so of course I understand!

We've all been hoping for a long time that Yelan's character can be stuck in the second stage and bring Ningguang along to play together. This time, it has to happen!

He had accidentally messed things up with Mona before, making him a little embarrassed to ask her for fortune-telling. Well, it seems he has no choice but to do it this time.

It would be great if I could get a Ningguang character card, but I didn't get a Qin sister character card either. It seems like characters with important positions don't get character cards, which is really a shame.

However, Mr. Luo Mu, who was excited on his own, did not notice the subtle look in the eyes of Lady Ningguang beside him.

He is now excitedly checking his other awards.

The 15 attribute points go without saying, and this melee specialization seems to meet my needs perfectly, but I can't see the effects yet... wait, my normal punch synchronization rate is already 89%?

Tsk, I feel like I'll be cursed by the heavens if I don't upgrade my physique to Lv.4 soon. Maybe I should put my super small bucket plan on hold for now?

After all, now that I'm serving as Ningguang's bodyguard, the enemies I encounter are all at least Lv.4, and I'm still only Lv.3, which does feel a bit limiting.

Okay, I'll write this in the plan first.

Anyway, his physique is already 54, and he can go to the advancement trial once he reaches 59. 15 attribute points are more than enough.

"Thank you very much, everyone."

At this moment, Miss Xingqiu—no, I mean, Young Master Xingqiu—came before them and bowed deeply and formally.

"On behalf of all Feiyun Group employees at headquarters today, I would like to express my gratitude and my sincere apologies. Regarding today's incident, we will do our utmost to investigate it as quickly as possible."

Xingqiu, who had straightened up, glanced with some regret at Luo Mu, who was still standing there exuding an air of superiority.

As a young master who has never given up his dream of becoming a chivalrous hero, Xingqiu is definitely interested in making friends with heroes and masters from all walks of life, especially a great hero like Mr. Luo Mu who is not only powerful but also knows how to protect others in times of crisis!

Unfortunately, after such an unpleasant incident, it's now difficult for him to make friends with others.

"I appreciate Young Master Xingqiu's gratitude and apology."

On Luo Mu's side, it was still Lady Ningguang who stepped forward to reply, "However, regarding the investigation of this incident, my people seem to have obtained some clues. Why don't you come with us to take a look, Second Young Master?"

"Hey?"

Xingqiu was stunned for a moment.

He glanced subconsciously at Luo Mu and the others, then looked at the remains in Amber's hand.

"If that's what you mean, I'm afraid I also..."

"No, that's not the case. Second Young Master, please wait a moment. My men should be here soon."

Seeing that even Ningguang had said so, Xingqiu had no choice but to nod.

"Ok."

Luo Mu removed his imperial armor and stood motionless, still exuding an aloof and cold demeanor. Jiu Chong then playfully climbed and jumped on him like a cat tree, which made Xing Qiu's expression quite peculiar.

Fortunately, Ye Lan's figure appeared in their sight shortly afterward.

And he was carrying a person in his hand.

"This is?"

Xingqiu was somewhat puzzled.

He didn't know Ye Lan, but he recognized the person Ye Lan was carrying.

"Deputy Chief Steward Zeng?"

Xingqiu glanced at Yelan, then looked at Ningguang, "Could you explain to me what's going on?"

"Hehe, I'm just like the Second Young Master, waiting to find out what's going on."

Apart from Xingqiu, everyone was looking at Minister Yelan.

After all, Ye Lan has been very busy with this matter from the beginning, and it seems that she has finally achieved some results now?

Minister Yelan smiled knowingly and casually tossed the seemingly unconscious middle-aged man to the ground with a thud.

"Let me put it simply. This guy was in the testing area before the doll went out of control. The accident happened about half a minute after he left. Most importantly, he not only had remnants of the abyss's aura on him, but also a lot of records in the device that he hadn't had time to delete, such as instructing others to cover his evacuation."

Wow~

This should be considered irrefutable evidence, right?

Luo Mu sighed inwardly as he watched the bouncy, jumping Miss Jiu Chong.

Xingqiu's expression immediately turned very unpleasant.

“My father trusted him so much that he entrusted him with the important task of managing the debugging area, but I never expected it to turn out like this.”

"Second Young Master, there's no need to speak so soon."

Ye Lan suddenly continued, "I'm very curious, what was the reason your father 'trusted' this person so much?"

"Huh?"

Xingqiu paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Because Deputy Chief Steward Zeng worked under my elder brother for a long time, and even my elder brother personally praised his abilities—"

Xingqiu suddenly shut his mouth, while Yelan showed an expression of great interest.

"Coincidentally, while I was tracking this guy, I also discovered something very interesting."

Ye Lan said, "It's obvious that this incident was orchestrated by someone who directed this deputy chief steward to carry out the plan, and after he thought he had safely evacuated, he secretly sent a message to someone."

"This lady—"

Xingqiu seemed to sense something, and for the first time, his face showed an indescribable seriousness and repression. "You should know that when you say certain things, you need to be responsible for your words, right?"

"of course."

Ye Lan answered without paying any attention, and continued, "Because I've been waiting for that moment, I tracked that message back then, and the recipient was—Xing Tiannan."

"Second son."

Ye Lan looked directly into Xing Qiu's eyes. "That person is your older brother, isn't he?"

The Divine Calculation System Girl won't be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 436 Of course, at a time like this, I have to go home first.

Faced with the current situation, Xingqiu remained silent, and Luo Mu was also at a loss for words.

After all, for anyone, it would be hard to accept if their loved one was implicated in such a serious matter as assassinating a national leader or committing crimes against humanity.

They waited for a while, and after a period of silence, Xingqiu's expression became resolute again.

Just like how Ye Lan had looked at him before, he turned around and looked directly into Ye Lan's eyes:

“I will prove to you and everyone else that my elder brother is absolutely not that kind of person. This matter can only be considered suspicion at this point, and it should be far from being enough to convict him, right?”

Wow, as expected of the Second Young Master, he's very imposing and calm.

Luo Mu, who was wearing the title of Miss Ninefold, was amazed.

"That's true, but I also hope that you understand, Second Young Master, that we need to ask your elder brother or even your father to assist with some investigations. I hope you can cooperate as much as possible."

Minister Yelan said ruthlessly.

"I see."

Xingqiu nodded, seemingly trying to appear calm and composed in front of the minister, but the young man's clenched fists betrayed his true feelings.

Luo Mu felt like scratching his head again.

He really wasn't good at dealing with this kind of thing, after all, he actually had a pretty good impression of the second young lady.

Even though he kept reminding himself that Teyvat had become like this, it wouldn't be surprising if the characters he originally knew had changed, but based on their previous interactions, Xingqiu should be fine.

But Xingqiu's older brother, uh... who is that?

He could only deduce that Xingqiu must have an older brother from the fact that she was the second young lady. As for anything more... well, I'm sorry.

But for Xingqiu himself, those should be real, familiar relatives, right?

I had a feeling that I might be able to get to know the second young lady after this, but it seems that it will be a bit difficult now.

Luo Mu sighed in his heart, just like Xing Qiu.

"I'll leave the follow-up investigation to you, Yelan. We'll probably need to go back and rest for a while."

Lady Ningguang spoke at this moment.

Luo Mu nodded immediately.

It's still Lady Ningguang who cares about me! If no one saves me, I'm really going to be overwhelmed by these nine layers!

"No problem, I'll let you know when there's progress."

Ye Lan readily made a gesture.

Xingqiu didn't look at them, keeping his eyes straight ahead.

Luo Mu thought for a moment and then said:

"The Second Young Master over there, cough! Second Young Master!"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Xingqiu paused for a moment before turning his head to look at Luo Mu.

"You seemed pretty formidable when you were fighting before, didn't you? A true warrior wouldn't falter at the first sign of trouble, would he?"

"—!"

Xingqiu's eyes widened quickly. "Yes!"

Suddenly, Xingqiu, who had become very assertive, shouted at Luo Mu:

"I will definitely pay a visit to express my gratitude for your kindness and help to the group at a later date! Please excuse me for the time being!"

Xingqiu suddenly turned to look at Yelan:

"Madam, since you're going to investigate, let's go!"

"Oh, okay then?"

Xingqiu left directly with Yelan.

Before leaving, Ye Lan glanced at him twice, and then seemed to understand something.

But he doesn't care! His plan has succeeded anyway!

"Whoever it is, come help me up!!"

"puff--"

……

With Noelle and Amy's help, they successfully returned to the high-end hovercar they had come from.

Since Nightingale wasn't there, Amber sat in the driver's seat.

"Do you think Xingqiu's older brother is the real mastermind behind this?"

Sitting in the car, Ms. Fischl asked curiously.

For a novelist, this is probably a plot that is absolutely impossible to refuse, right?

The son of a super-rich tycoon has been implicated in a serious case and must undergo investigation.

What is the truth? Will the big conglomerates take various actions to deal with this? The clash between interests, law, and justice is something that could easily turn into a blockbuster movie.

"Who knows?"

Noel curled her lips. "The second young master's elder brother and father didn't come today. Instead, they sent a junior who is still in college and doesn't know anything about the group's affairs to receive Tianquan Star. Isn't that suspicious?"

"Perhaps it was because Miss Yelan thwarted their plan to get away with it that they had no choice but to take additional action."

Luo Mu, who was lying on his deathbed, lay horizontally on the back seat of the car, his head resting on Ningguang's thigh, his legs draped over Fischl's lap, and then Miss Zhaigong sat elegantly on his stomach.

"Li~"

While swishing its tail back and forth across his face, Jiuzhong was excitedly pawing at the light screen with its little paws, choosing today's lunch.

After all, he had just promised to eat whatever he wanted.

"At present, the eldest son of Feiyun Group is definitely the most direct suspect, but he is only a suspect."

Lady Ningguang casually fed Luo Mu a piece of cantaloupe, and then spoke up.
