"So far, all we have is indirect evidence. If the young master says that the Abyss Order only sent him a message to frame him, we probably can't do anything to him with what we have now."
"However, the greatest value of a clue is that it provides a path, not whether it is right or wrong."
Officer Amber turned her head and winked confidently at them. "At least now we have a clear direction for the investigation, so whatever we find next will help us move the investigation forward."
Luo Mu, having swallowed his food with a 'glug', said saltily:
"I agree."
Personally speaking, he still hoped that Xingqiu's older brother was innocent, otherwise the second young lady would be very sad.
But objectively speaking, they have gained a lot this time. He also received a large amount of mission rewards, as well as another large amount of rewards that he has not yet experienced. Of course, he should be happy, right?
"Buzz-"
"Ok?"
A light screen appeared in front of Lady Ningguang; it was a telephone.
As for the communicator—
"Hey, I heard you guys really got into trouble at Feiyun Group?"
Luo Mu immediately heard Lady Keqing's voice.
He immediately raised his hand and waved it in front of the light screen, answering quickly:
"Yes, the situation is extremely dangerous!"
"Eh?"
Keqing, who only saw one hand, paused for a moment.
Ningguang gave a shot of Luo Mu, who was resting his head on her lap, and Keqing's expression naturally became subtle, a forced smile playing on her lips:
"It seems I've been worrying about some unnecessary things."
The Divine Calculation System Girl won't be [illegible] in Liyue! : Chapter 437: Borrowed Lady Keqing's Bathroom
"You can't say that, Lady Keqing. We almost died, you know?"
Luo Mu complained to Lord Keqing, whose eyebrows were raised in anger, on the light screen.
However, Keqing remained unmoved, replying utterly emotionless:
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice."
Luo Mu's eyes widened as he pointed to his face, which was being swept around by Miss Jiuchong's tail:
"Don't I look like I've been chased by tens of thousands of puppets?"
"Tens of thousands of dolls?"
Keqing seemed intrigued upon hearing this, but then she turned to Ningguang and asked, "What's the situation now?"
"Our current targets are a deputy general manager of Feiyun Group and the eldest son of Feiyun Group, Xing Tiannan. My people have already gone to investigate."
"Xing Tiannan?"
Ke Qing's expression immediately turned to one of headache. "Are you sure? This is no small matter."
"I'm not sure, that's why I need to investigate, isn't it?"
"That makes sense..."
Lady Keqing sighed.
It's understandable that she's having a headache. After all, given how things are developing, the project she's been planning for so long is probably going to be postponed indefinitely.
Ke Qing glanced at Ning Guang out of the corner of her eye.
"Don't you have a quick way to resolve this?"
"If Lady Keqing is willing to personally assist in the case, we would certainly welcome it. However, this is a task organized by our professionals, and we are afraid that you will need to follow their instructions."
Ningguang gracefully and calmly stroked Luo Mu's hair as she spoke.
Ke Qing immediately clicked her tongue.
Dealing with shrewd people is troublesome. Ningguang saw through her thoughts at a glance and even tried to negotiate with her.
She couldn't just give up on a project she'd been preparing for so long, even if it meant stopping work!
As I've said before, with so many people and equipment sitting there, every extra day we wait costs money!
In Keqing's style, if she encounters any difficulties, she will naturally go straight for them and eliminate them.
Even though solving cases wasn't her specialty, she had personally worked on construction sites and conducted on-site investigations in various places in order to handle all kinds of matters on the construction site. She had seen and dealt with a lot of complicated issues.
Therefore, in this situation, she doesn't think she can just sit idly by and wait for Ningguang to advance the investigation.
but--
She's supposed to follow orders? Whose orders is she supposed to follow?
Lady Keqing's gaze silently shifted once again to the face of a certain captain.
Luo Mu blinked.
"Then I'll investigate it myself."
Lady Keqing said expressionlessly.
Hey!
Mr. Luo Mu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Hehe, it's Keqing's own business, so of course you can decide for yourself."
Compared to Luo Mu, Lady Ningguang remained calm and smiled, "If you need anything, you can contact Ye Lan directly. It seems that you two have already communicated, so I probably don't need to provide your contact information, right?"
Ningguang's appearance, however, made Keqing suspicious.
"You're really that kind?"
This guy just said that if I join, I have to follow orders, right? If you guys can provide me with clues and information, what's the problem if I investigate on my own?
"Lady Keqing is a dignified being from the planet Yuheng. Why would I need to compete with you? Besides, the project you are preparing is beneficial to both me and Liyue Harbor. Naturally, I also hope that Lady Keqing can resume the project as soon as possible."
Lady Ningguang behaved with exceptional elegance and reliability, even Luo Mu, who was lying down, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Lady Keqing pondered for a while.
It seems... there's nothing wrong?
"So that's how it is?"
Ke Qing still had some doubts when she asked for confirmation.
"If Lady Keqing doesn't believe me, she can contact Yelan first. We need to go back and rest for a while."
Ningguang's calm demeanor made the suspicious Keqing a little embarrassed.
She glanced at Luo Mu, who was lying dead.
"Well, I have a spiritual spring over there that's quite effective for recovery. You guys should be able to recover faster if you go there."
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."
Ningguang smiled, and Luo Mu's eyes lit up without hesitation.
The hot springs of Lord Keqing! Is that what you mean?!
He had already seen the hot springs used to aid cultivation at the Alchemy Academy, so he was no stranger to this kind of thing.
It's not surprising at all that a Level 6 character like Keqing would have that kind of thing, but the most important thing is—
That definitely can't be an open bathhouse; it must be Keqing-sama's private place!
In other words—
Keqing's bathroom!
Seeing Luo Mu's overly realistic reaction on the screen, Keqing muttered something under her breath, then quickly replied:
"Then I won't bother you any longer!"
It's dead!
Ke Qing was speechless for a moment after turning off the light screen.
Why did I offer to lend out the bathroom?
I have a feeling that I've been tricked by Ningguang somewhere, but I just can't figure it out.
At times like this, she actually felt a little envious of Luo Mu.
For someone like Ningguang, who rose from nothing to Tianquan Star through her shrewdness and talent, even Keqing had no confidence in outsmarting her, just like how Ningguang had seen through her thoughts in an instant.
But Luo Mu is different.
That guy...
There's absolutely no need to read their faces; their thoughts are written all over their faces!
Because he's so pure, this guy probably doesn't need to be afraid of Ningguang at all, in a way!
……
"Ha, ha, achoo!"
Luo Mu, who was in the car, finally sneezed because his nose was tickled by Miss Jiu Chong's tail.
However, he didn't consider that it might be some Lord Yuheng Star talking about him behind his back, so he turned around and asked Ningguang with the same curiosity:
"Do we really have to send all the information we've gathered to Lady Keqing?"
"Don't you want to part with it?"
Ningguang smiled and continued to fork the cantaloupe in front of her and put it into Luo Mu's mouth.
"That's not necessarily true... *gurgle*."
He chewed and chewed, "It's just a feeling, gulp, Lady Ningguang, there must be some other meaning behind what you're saying."
"Hehe, that's both right and wrong."
Ningguang chuckled softly, "Whether for you or for me, cultivating a good relationship with our Lord Yuheng is by no means a bad thing. And if you knew Keqing's character and style of doing things, you would understand one thing—"
"To befriend Yuheng Star, you don't need any extra calculations. Just provide cooperation opportunities where she needs them in the most practical way. If your cooperation goes so far as to help her, our Yuheng Star will definitely reward you and will never let you suffer any losses."
Wow.
Luo Mu was amazed.
Ningguang, I understand everything you said, but I only learned about Keqing from the story. How come you seem to know more than me?
The Divine Calculation System Girl Will Not Be [illegible] in Liyue!: Chapter 438 I, My Junior's Confidant Senior!
Seemingly noticing his astonished expression, Lady Ningguang gave him a half-smile before making her final summary:
"So, if you want to build a good relationship with our Lady Yuheng, the best option is not to overthink it and just do your best to help her."
"Of course, if you can do that, as long as you show more effective progress in the investigation than Keqing's independent investigation, then perhaps in the end, Lady Yuhengxing will take the initiative to ask you to join. After all, she is the kind of person who values important matters more than personal matters."
He completely understood what Lady Ningguang meant!
No wonder Ningguang initially said "yes and no" when asked if he had "other intentions," because Ningguang did indeed do so with the additional intention of building a good relationship, but on the other hand, the assistance she provided to Keqing was purely for the purpose of helping, without any additional calculations.
Moreover, if one's investigation is faster than Lady Keqing's, is it really possible to eventually command Lady Keqing?
Hiss... cough!
Calm down, calm down.
He saw the smile on Ningguang's face, so he quickly coughed in a serious manner.
Um—
"Didn't we want to build a good relationship with Lord Yuheng Star? Why is it me? Lady Ningguang, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Given his current exceptional memory, he was quite certain that the first sentence of what he had just heard was exactly like that!
"Oh dear, it seems I did say something wrong."
