Hidden moth

Chapter 117: The deafening sound of the bell startled the birds

After reading the email, Yang Lingxi was scared. She was not stupid and knew what kind of trouble she was involved in, so she chose to leave as quickly as possible.

Qian's guess was correct; she was indeed from the Zhiyuanke sect, and the person who assigned her was Yan Congfei, a Guanshen sect sorcerer and a third-level medical practitioner. Yan Congfei was also a big boss in the local area, with a lot of business.

Yang Lingxi's parents were both executives of the company under Boss Yan. Her father passed away early, and Yan Congfei took great care of their family, especially her mother.

Yang Lingxi knew what the relationship was between her mother and Master Yan, but she didn't say anything. After all, her father was gone, and her mother was young and pretty, so it was impossible for her to give up on men from then on.

What's more, Uncle Yan is not an ordinary person. He is mysterious and powerful, and can provide more and better help to them, mother and daughter.

Yes, Yang Lingxi called him Uncle Yan, because it was said that her father had studied magic with Yan Congfei in the past, but one of them failed to get started while the other became a real sorcerer.

Yang Lingxi also wanted to become a sorcerer. Who wouldn't want to become one after witnessing the magic of magic? But there are many things in the world that people won't give to you just because you want them.

Yan Congfei taught her many things, including auxiliary skills for building the foundation of magic, but he had not yet taught her the real magic formula. He just told her that she must lay a solid foundation first.

If there is a problem with the foundation, trying to force yourself to practice magic will not only be useless but harmful, and may even cut off the path of cultivation. She also said that her father was in this situation.

But when does one consider that the foundation has been laid? Yang Lingxi had already graduated with a master's degree before she finally got the opportunity.

Yan Congfei asked her to do something, claiming it was a test. If she succeeded, he would introduce her to the art of subtlety. If she couldn't master the art of subtlety, Yan Congfei could also personally teach her the art of observing the body.

This promise was somewhat strange. Yan Congfei was a practitioner of the Guan Shen sect, yet he wanted to introduce Yang Lingxi to the subtle art first. However, Yan Congfei did not explain, so Yang Lingxi did not ask any further questions.

Presumably, Yan Congfei was familiar with the sorcerers of Ruwei Sect and thought that she was more suitable for practicing Ruwei technique.

Yan Congfei asked Yang Lingxi to find a way to enter the Tengxin Qiyuan branch, and then deal with He Kao, secretly collecting intelligence about He Kao, mainly to investigate his suspicious social relations.

As for the job at the Tengxin branch, if Yang Lingxi does not want to continue working there after completing the task, Yan Congfei will offer her a well-paid position in his own company and even give her an employment contract, except that she needs to sign it and fill in the date.

Yang Lingxi was not very interested in the work and position offered by Yan Congfei, but being able to join the sect and formally study magic was indeed a temptation that was hard to refuse... So Yang Lingxi came to Qiyuan to carry out this "simple" task.

For Yang Lingxi, this kind of thing is not illegal. It is normal for colleagues to have feelings for each other and for girls to chase handsome guys.

Especially after meeting He Kao himself, Yang Lingxi even had some other ideas and felt that it would be nice to have a boyfriend like him.

She once thought of making the fake into reality, and even asked Yan Congfei privately, if she could get He Kao to do it, how about continuing the relationship?
She asked this question with a somewhat selfish motive, because many of her acquaintances back home were privately discussing that Boss Yan was trying to get both mother and daughter, and that she was also having an affair with Yan Congfei.

In fact, Yang Lingxi herself does not have that kind of relationship with Yan Congfei, at least not at the moment, so she also wants to get rid of the influence of this criticism and does not want to stay in her hometown after graduation.

Yan Congfei’s answer was to complete the task first.

This may be an urging, or perhaps it is tacit approval. In any case, he did not directly answer yes or no.

In Yang Lingxi's view, as long as she uses a little trick, wouldn't it be easy to capture a nerdy programmer like He Kao? She is very confident in her methods and charm.

But after getting in touch with him, she realized that He Kao was not so easy to take down, so she had to work harder...

At this moment, He Kao suddenly turned hostile. If she was angry because of the rumors, it would be understandable, but He Kao directly pointed out that she was being instructed by someone, which made Yang Lingxi very surprised and suspicious.

She asked herself if all her actions since joining the company revealed any flaws.

She told Yan Congfei about the situation, and Yan Congfei gave her new instructions, ordering her to change her approach and teach He Kao a lesson... Before she could react, Qian Guran called her away again the next day.

Qian certainly revealed her identity as a sorcerer and exposed her tricks in front of her.

Yang Lingxi thought she still had room for explanation. It was just a girl wanting to pursue a boy, and she was just being a little scheming... But after reading the email, she finally understood.

She understood why He Kao was wary and why Qian Guran was suspicious. This was because a lot of people had tried to target He Kao, mistaking him for Yin Mo, but they found out he wasn't Yin Mo, and instead provoked the real Yin Mo.

The whereabouts of so many sorcerers were unknown, and the patriarchal hall of the sorcerer sect was shaken. The patriarchal hall even tried to lure the hidden moth to reveal itself under the guise of public recruitment, but failed to achieve its goal.

How could Yang Lingxi dare to stay here any longer? She didn't dare to betray Yan Congfei, nor did she dare to provoke Qian Guran. She simply acted first and reported later and left this place of trouble.

She was so decisive that she even dodged all the money!

Yang Lingxi left in a hurry, without informing Yan Congfei beforehand, intending to create a fait accompli. Even if Yan Congfei still wanted her to stay at the Tengxin branch, it would be too late.

She said goodbye to her supervisor and left the company without even returning to her rented house. She called a car and drove around the ring road for half a circle, then changed another car and went straight to the airport.

Yang Lingxi understood clearly that if she was fine in the end, the resignation procedures from the unit, the house she rented in Qiyuan, the things left inside... and other things would be easy to handle.

It was not until they sat in the airport lounge that Yang Lingxi told her mother about this.

When her mother knew she had come to Qiyuan, she initially thought that Yan Congfei had introduced her to a good job.

In fact, Yan Congfei did not introduce this job, nor did he ask anyone to facilitate the process. Instead, he asked her to apply for the job in Qiyuan herself, and Yang Lingxi was successfully hired based on her own qualifications.

Now she realized the danger of the matter, so she told her mother first, then told her mother not to make it public, and stopped her mother from asking endless, nagging and emotional questions.

Looking at the constant stream of messages and call requests on her phone, she suddenly felt a surge of regret. She'd told her mother just to have someone she could trust to know about the situation, but she'd underestimated her mother's emotional reaction and how she'd become so upset. Upon learning about this, her mother would only pepper her with questions, asking how it could happen, what to do, and whether this was feasible. She wouldn't truly listen to her advice, simply nagging on and on.

This was completely ineffective communication. If they continued talking, they probably wouldn't be able to finish until dark. This made Yang Lingxi a little confused.

She had to leave a message for the last time, asking her mother to know but not to make it public yet, even pretending not to know in front of Yan Congfei, and then she stopped replying to the message.

Before boarding the plane, she finally contacted Yan Congfei with another mobile phone and did not hide anything. Except for the contact with her mother just now, she told Yan Congfei everything else truthfully, including her own response.

She didn't point out anything, as if acknowledging that Yan Congfei was also unaware of it, as if she was reporting the latest intelligence she had discovered.

It turned out that the company's vice president, Qian Guran, was also a sorcerer, and he had called her into his office today to give her a face-to-face warning. She had also received an email detailing a series of recent events at Qiyuan and the sorcerer's sect... She forwarded the email to Yan Congfei.

She told Yan Congfei that she chose to leave decisively because she didn't want to be involved, and that only in this way could she avoid implicating Yan Congfei.

So far, they have not taken any substantial action that would give the sect any reason to pursue them.

On this point, Yang Lingxi was very wise and her analysis was absolutely correct. From her point of view, this wave of extreme operations was almost perfect.

But Yang Lingxi didn't know that there were people behind Yan Congfei, and those people had already taken action, at least causing accidents to Xiao Miao's father and Huang Si's mother.

……

Of course, Mr. Qian didn't have to strictly abide by the attendance time when he went to work. When he returned to the office in the afternoon, he heard that Yang Lingxi had resigned and left. After a while, he received news from Yao Shaolan that Ren Lexing had lost Yang Lingxi.

Ren Lexing is a Zhiyuanke who once studied the art of micro-skilling but failed to master it. Later, he opened a lock-opening company in Qiyuan and had many collaborations with Yao Shaolan, and the scope of cooperation was not limited to lock-opening.

There are several Zhiyuanke in Qiyuan who have cooperative relations with Yao Shaolan, forming a small circle headed by Yao Shaolan. Now the core figure Qian Guran has joined this circle.

The last time we helped He Kao get back the house in Guanliu Community, Ren Lexing from the locksmith company and Qian Dali from the moving company both contributed.

This time, Qian Dali, entrusted by Yao Shaolan, secretly followed Xiao Miao back to his hometown. Meanwhile, the one keeping an eye on Yang Lingxi was Ren Lexing, with Yao Shaolan and Qian Guran sometimes taking turns.

It is difficult to keep an eye on a person all the time, but usually you only need to keep an eye on a few node areas, such as the workplace or residence, so that you can grasp their whereabouts and detect abnormal situations in time.

When an abnormal situation occurs, it is really difficult to track a person in real time in a modern city without the help of modern technology such as mobile phone positioning signals.

It is almost impossible to track someone who does not take public transportation, but if they use public transportation, without exposing yourself, you may lose them due to traffic jams on a few sections of road or changes in red lights at a few intersections.

Ren Lexing was riding a small motorcycle with a takeaway box on the back seat. He was wearing a delivery man's uniform and a helmet on his head.

This set of equipment is the most practical and convenient. It will not be affected by traffic jams and will not arouse suspicion even if seen, but it is only suitable for use in city streets.

Yang Lingxi came out of the company, called a car, left the city and got on the ring road, and Ren Lexing's delivery motorcycle could no longer catch up.

Ren Lexing is not the police officer in charge of the case and does not have the real-time location of Yang Lingxi's cell phone signal.

Qian had a plan for this. He secretly placed a positioning transmitter at the bottom of Yang Lingxi's purse. Finally, following the positioning transmitter's signal, Ren Lexing, after changing cars, caught up with her at the airport.

At this time, the positioning signal had disappeared. Even if Qian Kuai still had a way to find out her flight information, it was probably too late.

Furthermore, the use of this positioning signal device was premised on Yang Lingxi not noticing it. If she herself was on high alert, or if there were any third-level or higher warlocks around her, the device would easily be exposed.

……

Before taking off, Yang Lingxi sent a message to Qian Guran: "Mr. Qian, I've followed your advice and have left the company. Everything ends here, and I won't do anything else!"

She then took out the SIM card, put away the phone, and used only the other one.

As for the positioning signal generator, it was discovered during the security check, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Unlike Ren Lexing, He Kao arrived at Qiyuan Airport half an hour earlier than Yang Lingxi. He even reached the same destination five hours before Yang Lingxi's flight landed.

He is not a god who can predict things in advance, so how can he arrive early? Let's start from the beginning.

……

Although He Kao was in Sawa, he could still access the Internet on his mobile phone. In the afternoon, he saw someone in the work group exclaiming that Yang Lingxi had resigned inexplicably and no one knew what had happened.

He Kao found an excuse to go back to the hotel, and then returned to Qiyuan. In the middle, he also went to the Gushan secret base and disguised himself.

Stealth is good at disguise. Simply put, it is the ability to imitate the physical characteristics of others to conceal one's own characteristics. It is not as magical as changing one's face.

The Yin Mo Sect might have some kind of face-changing technique, but He Kao hadn't mastered it yet. If he changed his clothes, hairstyle, glasses, and a mask, he'd be hard to recognize.

He Kao returned to the vicinity of the company, but found nothing because Yang Lingxi had already left.

He knew which neighborhood Yang Lingxi rented and was about to go over there to take a look when he heard someone next to him ask, "Hey, big brother, do you know how to get to the airport?"
