He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

After all, Master Lin now considers this place his home.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaoling looked up at the sky and found that the sky had suddenly darkened.

"Strange, is it going to rain?"

Zhang Beixing quickly took out his phone to check the weather forecast.

"Oh dear, it really is going to rain this afternoon."

Gao Wenliang checked as well, and sure enough, it was true; he hadn't paid attention to the weather when he arrived.

Master Lin smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, what does it matter if it rains? You're all free today, so why don't you rest here?"

Several people nodded.

Master Lin said he would prepare some food for everyone to eat together. If it rained again tonight, they would stay overnight.

As soon as he finished speaking, it started to rain outside.

The rain came on fiercely and went away quickly.

A few hours later, the rain stopped, and the air became fresher and more pleasant.

Gao Wenliang said, "Let's hurry up and leave, don't trouble you any further, Uncle."

Master Lin said, "It's alright, you can sit for a while longer."

However, the group decided to leave as soon as possible.

After they left, Master Lin carefully recalled his interactions with them but found nothing unusual. It seemed they were just there for normal sightseeing.

On the way back, Zhang Beixing still felt something was wrong.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiaoling couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Brother Zhang Beixing, do you still think there's something wrong with that owner?"

Zhang Beixing nodded.

"I've already told you, you're overthinking it, but you just won't believe me."

Zhang Beixing said, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."

When Zhang Beixing got home, he discovered that the rain was even heavier near their villa; the rain was really falling in the wrong place.

Everywhere they passed through, the sky was clear and blue.

The next day, Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling were going to the hospital because today was the day the test results would be released.

Similarly, Kang Xiaohui and Zhou Huiqin went to the hospital early.

Clearly, they were also eager to know the result. Although both girls believed they were now as close as sisters and that blood ties didn't matter, how could they truly not care?

The moment they waited for the results to be announced was the most nerve-wracking for them.

After a while, the doctor came out with the report and asked them to send a representative in to collect it. Kang Xiaohui went in first.

A short while later, Kang Xiaohui came out with the report.

Zhu Xiaoling quickly asked, "What was the result?"

Kang Xiaohui shook his head, feigning disappointment, which surprised the three of them.

Immediately afterward, Kang Xiaohui burst into laughter: "You two are twin sisters!"

The two girls hugged each other excitedly. Zhou Huiqin asked, "So, am I from the Kyushu Empire, or are you from the Lin Kingdom?"

No one can provide an answer to this question.

Because the elderly people involved had all passed away, and both of them had also lost their memories.

Zhu Xiaoling stated that the medication she was taking had no effect, and that Zhang Beixing was the one who told her she was from Linguo. Her current memory only extends back to the last month.

Zhou Huiqin also knew that all of this was related to the Shenlong Society, but the Shenlong Society's affairs had not yet been thoroughly investigated.

The two girls will continue with their own lives, but they can now visit each other like relatives.

Kang Xiaohui said he had some things to take care of and had to leave first.

Although Zhou Huiqin wanted to chat with Zhu Xiaoling a little longer, she had no choice but to leave now.

A few days later, Professor Meng called Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing was extremely excited.

Has Professor Meng already investigated the Shenlong Society thoroughly? Or has he found some clues?
He quickly answered the phone and excitedly began talking to Professor Meng.

Professor Meng asked him if he was free, and the two decided to meet.

There's something important to discuss.

"Is it related to organized crime?"

Professor Meng responded that this was indeed the case, but it was difficult to explain over the phone and it would be better to discuss it in person.

Zhang Beixing immediately agreed.

Afterwards, he took Zhu Xiaoling to meet with Professor Meng.

They agreed to meet at a small teahouse.

This teahouse is located near a farmhouse, and the environment is exceptionally quiet. You can enjoy the scenery outside through the windows.

Professor Meng had an air of otherworldly wisdom.

As soon as they met, Zhang Beixing couldn't wait to ask about the results of the investigation.

Professor Meng said that he had spent a lot of time on it recently.

On the surface, it seems like there's no progress, but in reality, I haven't been idle for a moment.

He and his team had been investigating Zhou Huiqin's whereabouts and eventually met someone.

This person's ancestors were once members of the Divine Dragon Society.

However, his descendants lost contact with the Divine Dragon Society.

But his ancestor had written a book, and Professor Meng then took out an old book.

The book is yellowed and obviously quite old.

Professor Meng stated that this person was unwilling to show their face, and that he had spent a considerable sum of money to purchase the book.

Naturally, it cost a lot of money.

Professor Meng asked Zhang Beixing to carefully read through the book.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Beixing discovered that the author was from the Song Dynasty, which meant that the Shenlong Society already existed in that era.

This person's ancestor held a position in the Shenlong Society that was specifically responsible for recruiting people; in modern terms, he was a human resources person.

He successfully persuaded many people to join the group, and their initial purpose for joining was very simple: to rob the rich and help the poor.

The book also records information about the saintess, which is almost identical to the results of previous investigations.

Professor Meng sighed. It was unrealistic to expect to understand the current state of the Divine Dragon Society based on just this.

"But that's all the information we can gather at the moment."

Zhang Beixing expressed his gratitude to Professor Meng.

"Professor Meng, thank you so much."

"You're too kind. This is just something I could do."

Professor Meng said he would inform Sun Xiuling of this news, even though the book would not be of much help in solving the case.

Zhang Beixing nodded, feeling that this was only natural.

Soon, Professor Meng contacted Sun Xiuling, intending to give her the book, since Zhang Beixing had already skimmed through it.

Sun Xiuling asked Zhang Beixing to come to her office in the afternoon because she was really busy right now.

In the afternoon, Zhang Beixing arrived at the office on time.

After reading the book, Sun Xiuling felt both gratified and somewhat disappointed. Like Zhang Beixing, she didn't have much hope.

After returning home, Zhang Beixing told Zhu Xiaoling that he planned to go to Shanshuigou again.

"What? What are we going back there for?"

Zhang Beixing said he had a feeling that the young man had already harmed the two elderly people.

"Brother Zhang Beixing, you're being too paranoid. You're not a detective."

But Zhang Beixing still decided to go and take a look.

He planned to act late at night.

Zhu Xiaoling said that since that's the case, she would go along, and it seemed she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

But Zhang Beixing shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to come along.

"What? Didn't you say you'd go wherever I went?"

But Zhang Beixing suddenly felt that this matter might be somewhat dangerous.

Let Zhu Xiaoling stay at home. As long as she doesn't open the door to strangers, most people can't do anything to her.

But this only piqued Zhu Xiaoling's curiosity, and she insisted on going along.

"Alright then, since you want to go, let's go together." Now, they need to get some rest, as they'll set off in the early hours of the morning.

Although Zhu Xiaoling felt that Zhang Beixing's decision was somewhat hasty, she still quickly went to sleep.

Zhang Beixing set his alarm and woke up precisely in the middle of the night, then went to knock on Zhu Xiaoling's door.

Zhu Xiaoling was half asleep, having a sweet dream, when Zhang Beixing woke her up, leaving her feeling somewhat dejected.

She got up, washed her face, and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"If you don't want to go, then stay home," Zhang Beixing said, seeing her dejected expression.

"No, no, I want to go, I want to go!" She immediately appeared very happy.

After getting in the car, she fell asleep again.

Just as they were about to reach Shanshuigou, Zhu Xiaoling woke up.

"Okay, you've woken up at just the right time. Don't leave my side after we get off the bus."

"I understand, Brother Zhang Beixing."

From then on, Zhang Beixing practically dragged Zhu Xiaoling along by the hand.

Soon, they arrived at the room and found that Master Lin had not yet rested.

The room was brightly lit, and Master Lin was writing at his desk.

He was so focused that he didn't even notice someone approaching.

Zhang Beixing told Zhu Xiaoling not to make a sound and to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.

Zhu Xiaoling nodded.

At that moment, she also felt that perhaps something really was wrong.

After a moment, the two heard Master Lin mutter something to himself.

"What should I do?"

He fell silent as soon as he finished speaking. Zhang Beixing glanced at Zhu Xiaoling.

When they came to visit that day, the two elderly people said they had gone to visit relatives, but why have they not returned yet?

Moreover, at their age, would they still easily visit relatives?

Even if he was really visiting relatives, it would be understandable if it took a long time, but Zhang Beixing always felt that something was amiss.

Zhu Xiaoling seemed to have sensed Zhang Beixing's thoughts, so she nodded.

This matter is indeed somewhat strange.

However, Master Lin then fell silent.

After a while, Master Lin turned off the lights.

Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling got into the car. Zhang Beixing suggested that they spend the night in the car and continue the investigation tomorrow.

Zhu Xiaoling also agreed.

Zhang Beixing let her lie down and rest in the back seat, while he made do by slumping over the steering wheel.

Soon, the morning of the second day arrived, and Zhang Beixing took Zhu Xiaoling out to get something to eat.

They then returned to the scene.

Zhu Xiaoling felt that Zhang Beixing was now practically a detective.

When did he become interested in this kind of thing?

Zhang Beixing explained that this was not out of interest; he felt that the old man might have encountered some misfortune, and out of sympathy, he wanted to find out what was going on.

Afterwards, the two quietly went around to the back of the house.

At this moment, Master Lin began to talk to himself again.

"I still have to bring food to that old woman, it's such a hassle. But there's no other way, we still have to rely on her in critical moments."

Zhang Beixing was shocked to hear this. It seemed that his guess was correct; this kid really did have ulterior motives.

Zhu Xiaoling immediately gave a thumbs up; this time, she completely believed Zhang Beixing's words.

Then, Zhang Beixing went to the door and found a place to squat down.

He saw Master Lin carrying food and walking to the well.

Then he opened the manhole cover and went down.

He leaned close to Zhu Xiaoling's ear and whispered:
"Now you should understand what's going on, right?"

Zhu Xiaoling nodded, guessing that the two elderly people might be trapped underground.

Moreover, this person has absolutely no connection with the two elderly people.

I suspect he threatened the two elderly people because of some kind of treasure.

Zhang Beixing said, "What you said makes some sense, but I'm worried that things are far more complicated than that."

"Is there anything more terrifying than this?"

Zhang Beixing said that it was possible that one person had already died, and one person was left alive.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaoling trembled with fear.

Zhang Beixing immediately hugged her tightly, telling her not to be afraid. She instantly felt a warm current surge through her heart.

She even wished that she could be held like this by Zhang Beixing forever.

A few minutes later, Master Lin climbed back up.

Then he went back to his room as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling had already quietly returned to the car.

"What do we do next?" Zhu Xiaoling asked anxiously.

She hoped Zhang Beixing would call the police immediately and not risk going alone.

Just as Zhang Beixing was about to speak, Zhu Xiaoling added, "What should I do if something happens to you?"

Although they are not lovers, they are at least like siblings.

Zhu Xiaoling was still hoping that Zhang Beixing would take care of her.

Zhang Beixing remained silent for a few seconds before finally deciding to call the police.

Officer Ma came this time, and he also brought an apprentice to investigate the case, hoping to give the apprentice some experience.

Moreover, he had worked with Zhang Beixing before and trusted Zhang Beixing's character.

Since Zhang Beixing claims to have solid evidence, then this matter must be true.

However, Officer Ma told them not to linger in the area and to find a place to meet up with them.

Zhang Beixing then arrived at the foot of the nearest mountain—Dongshan.

An hour later, Officer Ma and his apprentice Xiao Shen arrived.

Officer Shen is handsome and dashing, and has just graduated from police academy.

Zhu Xiaoling felt that he didn't look authoritative enough and wondered if he could handle the job.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Beixing recounted the events in detail.

"You mean, you initially just felt there was a problem based on your gut feeling, and then you actually discovered the problem?"

"Yes, that's true."

Zhu Xiaoling said she didn't expect Brother Zhang Beixing's intuition to be so accurate.

Officer Ma said he had solved a case ten years ago.

There was a notorious thief who would hide in remote places and remain undiscovered for a long time.

He found evidence through subtle clues and brought the criminals to justice.

The current situation may be similar; this person might be a criminal.

Zhu Xiaoling was startled when she heard this.

"Alright, Zhu Xiaoling, don't be afraid. No matter how cunning the fox is, it can't escape the hunter's eyes."

“That’s right, we will definitely find out the truth about this,” Officer Ma immediately reassured her.

Zhu Xiaoling asked with a puzzled look, "So how should we continue the investigation?"

Zhang Beixing responded, "The police officers have their own investigative methods; why should we make decisions for them?"

Zhu Xiaoling then realized that she had been meddling in other people's business and was just worrying unnecessarily.

Yes, the police officers certainly have their own methods of investigation.

Officer Ma then asked Xiao Shen, "So, how do you think we should begin the investigation?"

Xiao Shen scratched his head and said, "I don't have any clue either. How about we go directly to that place and take a look?"

Officer Ma agreed, "That's a good idea. We should go there and investigate." (End of Chapter)
