Hidden moth

Chapter 62 I can't
Hengzhou Fuchuntang is a fairly large pharmacy with a comprehensive selection of medicinal herbs. There's a doctor on duty who can diagnose patients and prescribe medicine: Lin Qingshuang.

Lin Qingshuang usually only sat here during the day, but she had come here specially after dinner today. When He Kao entered, he saw this senior sitting in the usual consultation area, with a hand pillow on the table in front of him.

He Kao went forward to greet her, but Lin Qingshuang waved her hand and said, "Don't stay here, come inside and talk with me." Then she called to the waiter, "Make this gentleman a cup of tea."

The clerk was a little puzzled. Chongheyin was a tea made by the owner himself, supposedly to relieve fatigue. He looked like a pretty fit guy. What had he been up to these past couple of days?

Lin Qingshuang led He Kao to a room at the back, which was arranged like a leader's office. There was a workbench against the inner wall, a window on the left, an incense table against the right wall, and a sofa and a coffee table opposite.

The waiter made a cup of tea and brought it in, closing the door behind him as he left. Lin Qingshuang then locked the door behind her and turned around to ask, "You're not in a good state. What's going on?"

He Kao: "During the long holiday, I worked overtime for four consecutive days."

Lin Qingshuang: "Does working overtime also wear out your bones and muscles? It looks to me like you've not only stayed up late to work overtime, but you've also participated in a boxing match and fought for twelve rounds."

No matter which school of magic, each one has its own strengths. Lin Qingshuang could tell at a glance that something was wrong with his physical condition.

He Kao: "Working overtime is not only mentally demanding, but also physically demanding. When I'm out testing data on site, I have to wear virtual glasses and walk around the room countless times. My legs are so thin after a day, and I often bump into things.

I couldn't get in touch with Lao Qian today, and I was so worried that I made two hundred copies of that document, printing and binding it just before coming to you. I was exhausted."

Lin Qingshuang: "Did the injury on your face also come from working overtime?"

There were still bruises on He Kao's cheeks and corners of his eyes. He had tried his best to deal with them before coming, so they were hardly noticeable, but how could they be hidden from Lin Qingshuang's eyes?

He Kao: "That's not the case! Last night someone was setting off firecrackers outside, disturbing the townspeople so much they couldn't sleep. I went out to take a look and saw they were two drunk guys. I tried to persuade them to stop, but that led to a bit of a fight.

Actually, I won the fight, so it's nothing serious... Senior, have you read the electronic version of the materials I sent you on the way? This is the original, and I also printed a photocopy of it."

Lin Qingshuang: "I have read the electronic version you sent me, let me see the original."

She took the original materials brought by He Kao, sat down at the coffee table and read through them page by page. After finishing, she looked up and said, "Xiao Kao, do you trust me?"

He Kao nodded quickly: "Of course I trust you, otherwise why would I come here to find you?"

Lin Qingshuang: "Then give me this original document. I will take it directly to Gu Yunteng and ask for his return in person."

He Kao exclaimed in surprise: "Huh?"

This senior has a very straightforward temper and likes to do things directly!

Lin Qingshuang: "You don't have to be so surprised, sometimes the simplest way is the most effective, and it is also the best for you.

I have the original materials in my hands. I'll show them to Gu Yunteng in person, and this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if he still wants to do something bad, there's no need to come after you. "

He Kao: "But, but Lao Qian has lost contact. I suspect something has happened to him. If this matter is related to Gu Yunteng, I'm afraid you will be in danger because of this material."

Lin Qingshuang snorted coldly, "He doesn't have the guts or the ability to attack me."

He Kao: "Well... I think it's better to be cautious."

Lin Qingshuang smiled and said, "I am also from the Shu Sect, I am not some silly girl. Didn't you send me the electronic version? Before I go to him, I will forward the materials to the Shu Sect's Sect Law Hall and tell them what happened and what I plan to do.

When I see Gu Yunteng, I'll tell him not to get lucky or make any mistakes. I've already sent the materials he's looking for to the Zongfa Hall, and I'm here to ask him for the person."

"Is that so..." He Kao breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately realized what was happening and asked, "Could it be that Gu Yunteng is also from the Shu sect, and he knows Old Qian?"

Lin Qingshuang: "More than just knowing each other, Gu Yunteng was born in Wangqimen and is Qian Guran's direct uncle. If Qian Guran gets into trouble in Qiyuan, even if I don't go to him, Wangqimen will ask about it."

The so-called direct lineage uncle refers to Qian Guran's master and Gu Yunteng, who were taught by the same master. Qian Guran's master has now passed away, and his relationship with Gu Yunteng is the closest in the martial arts sect.

He Kao: "They actually have this kind of relationship! Senior, do you think it's possible that Gu Yunteng did this? If you go this way, can you find Lao Qian?"

Lin Qingshuang sighed, "Maybe, maybe not; maybe he can, maybe he can't. Gu Yunteng is just a suspicion, but I can't say anything without solid evidence.

If the money is truly missing, and he can't hand him over, and he insists he has nothing to do with it, then the Shumen will investigate. In short, coming to me is the smartest and most correct choice.

Once you hand the materials over to me, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore, and you cannot interfere with it.

I hope it's just a false alarm. Warlocks sometimes retreat to practice, so it's normal to be unable to contact them during holidays. Perhaps by then, Qian Guran will return to work on his own."

He Kao: "I hope so! Senior, I'd like to ask one more question: what will the sect's Dharma Hall do with this material after receiving it?"

Lin Qingshuang: "I have read all the materials. I am not surprised at all that a big real estate developer like Gu Yunteng has such experience. I am afraid no one will be too surprised.

This material is a private record, which is only a clue of evidence rather than direct evidence. It still needs to be verified, such as the specific transfer records and the destination of funds... It is probably difficult to verify now.

But this is not the business of the Zongfa Hall. The Zongfa Hall of the Shumen is neither the Economic Investigation Bureau nor the Procuratorate. It only handles matters related to the Shumen and magic.

The reason I brought out this material is just to prove that if the money is indeed missing, Gu Yunteng is a suspect, not to investigate a case from twenty years ago.

I would say that this material was given to me for money... You just said you prepared 200 copies, so you planned to mail them out, right? Have you done that?"

He Kao: “Not yet.”

Lin Qingshuang: "If you want to send it, then send it. The express delivery will take time on the way and will not affect my search for Gu Yunteng. But I want to remind you of one thing. No matter which unit or department you want to send it to, don't let anyone find out that you are the sender.

If someone comes to your door, whether it is from the procuratorate or the public security bureau, even if it is an official civil servant who comes to you to understand the situation and hopes that you will cooperate with the investigation, you should not admit that you are the sender.

According to Qian Guran's statement, you must firmly declare that you have never seen this document, that there is no such thing in your father's safe deposit box, and that this matter has nothing to do with you!"

He Kao: "Even if the law enforcement agencies can't find the sender, Gu Yunteng will still suspect me."

Lin Qingshuang: "His suspicions are different from official findings. The original materials are in my hands, and the electronic version has been sent to the clan law hall. The elders of each sect have received it. What's the point of Gu Yunteng suspecting you?

But if the law enforcement agencies find out that you sent the materials, the nature of the matter will be different.

In Qiyuan City, Gu Yunteng could not cover up everything, but he was still rich and powerful. Even if he could not bribe everyone, he could at least bribe a few law enforcement officers such as the police.

There are always bad guys everywhere!

The easiest way for him to turn the tables on this matter was to wait for the police to find the sender and then try to get the sender to admit that he had deliberately forged the materials. However, the prerequisite for doing so was to have solid evidence to prove who the sender was.

If it turns out to be you, he will bribe a few law enforcement officers to take you away first in the name of cooperating with the investigation. You can imagine what will happen.

I understand their tactics to some extent. I'm not saying this will definitely happen, but you have to be prepared for it from the start."

He Kao: "Thank you for the reminder, senior. I will pay attention to it... But from what you said, you don't object to me sending the materials out?" Lin Qingshuang looked at him and said, "If Gu Yunteng really hurts you this time, of course I will give him the money, but it will save you a lot of trouble. The clan law hall will definitely not let him go.

But if I can't find evidence that he did anything to the money, I can't kill him with a knife.

Your father is suspected to be Yin E. He died in an unclear manner, but he inexplicably left behind such a document. You will definitely suspect that his death is related to Gu Yunteng.

As a son of a man, if I advise you to do nothing, wouldn't that be inhumane? But no matter what you want to do, you must first protect yourself. Your father is gone, so don't get yourself into trouble.

He Kao: "No matter what, I still hope that nothing happens to Lao Qian."

Lin Qingshuang: "If it was Gu Yunteng who did it, and he can still hand the person over, then there will be a result tomorrow. If there is no result tomorrow, then there are only two possibilities -

First, he was indeed responsible, but he couldn't be turned over, so he refused to admit it. This was the worst-case scenario, but the sect would investigate thoroughly.

Second, this matter has nothing to do with him. The money was lost due to other reasons and may come back on its own in a few days. You just wait.

But no matter what, even though the money is missing, you should not interfere anymore. Child, since you trust me, just listen to me."

He Kao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Qingshuang: "I have something to do soon, so I won't keep you sitting here for long. Go back. Drink this cup of tea and take the other six packets with you. When you get home, make it like tea, one cup each morning and evening.

Its main effect is to relieve overwork, and the contraindications are similar to those of taking Yangjing Dan. Taking a Yangjing Dan requires abstaining from sex for seven days, while taking Chongheyin only requires abstaining from sex on the day and the following day.

He Kao: "Thank you for the elixir, Senior. I've been practicing the Eight-Section Brocade that Old Qian taught me these past few days, and I also took a Nourishing Essence Pill the day before yesterday. Can this Chonghe Drink be taken with the Nourishing Essence Pill?"

Lin Qingshuang: "The day before yesterday? It's okay, just don't drink the Chongheyin on the day you take the Yangjing Pill. But using the drink to relieve the pain is only one aspect. I advise you to go for a few bone-loosening massages in the next two days."

……

He Kao did not take Gao Xue'e to Fuchuntang, and parked the car not far from the gate of Hengzhou Public Security Bureau.

Gao Xue'e had been sitting in the car, feeling a little nervous, but the sign of the Public Security Bureau in front and the lights that were still on gave her a sense of security.

While waiting anxiously, He Kao came back, opened the car door, got in and started the car. Gao Xue'e was a little surprised and said, "So soon, is there any news about Mr. Qian?"

Lin Qingshuang was very efficient in both her speech and actions, and the time He Kao spent out was much shorter than Gao Xue'e had expected.

He Kao: "Whether there is any news or not, we'll have to wait until tomorrow..."

He briefly introduced his meeting with Lin Qingshuang, including the senior's analysis of the matter, with an emphasis on her instructions to He Kao.

Gao Xue'e agreed deeply and felt inexplicably relieved. She rubbed her chest and asked, "Where are we going now?"

He Kao: "Let's go back to Qiyuan and take you home first."

Gao Xue'e: "Then go to my house first and help me get some things."

After they got the materials, they rushed directly to Hengzhou. They did not go to Gao Xue'e's house on the way because they had already made an appointment with Lin Qingshuang and could not keep this senior waiting for too long. Besides, saving people was far more important than changing clothes.

On the way to and from Hengzhou, He Kao was always worried that something might happen again, but the journey was very peaceful and he did not encounter any trouble.

In fact, they were incredibly quick, waking up and taking action immediately, before anyone could react. Another important reason was that everyone involved in the kidnapping last night was already unable to react.

Apart from He Kao and Gao Xue'e, no one knew what exactly happened.

Arriving at the Bishu Renjia residential complex where Gao Xue'e lived, Gao Xue'e didn't get out of the car. She stammered, "I look weird like this... Go get me some clothes and some other things."

He Kao: "How many sets? Aren't you going home?"

Gao Xue'e was still wearing He Kao's clothes, which looked strange. It was normal that she was embarrassed to be seen, but she only needed to change into one set of clothes. There was no need to bring so many things.

Gao Xue'e lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid, but I don't dare."

This is understandable. She slept well last night, but was kidnapped at home. This must have left her with a psychological trauma, so it's normal that she doesn't dare to go back alone now.

In that case, He Kao asked her what she wanted. Gao Xue'e talked for a long time, what this dress looked like, what color that dress was, and what skin care cosmetics she had...

Suddenly seeing He Kao's wry smile, she realized that this was a bit embarrassing, and quickly changed the subject, "Forget about the skin care products and cosmetic bags, I'll go back to the mall and buy a set of small travel bottles.

Just help me take down my ID and phone, as for the clothes..."

He Kao quickly said, "Just find the ones you've worn recently. I should remember them."

Gao Xue'e's eyes lit up: "Yes, just take the one you remember!"

He Kao got out of the car to get something, but Gao Xue'e thought to herself, "How could he remember all the clothes I wear? Oh, and underwear..."

He Kao was certainly not that careless. Although Gao Xue'e was embarrassed to mention underwear, he still found three sets for her. Holding these small clothes, he couldn't help but have some associations. He quickly shook his head, as if trying to get rid of some lustful thoughts.

He also found a few clothes that Gao Xue'e usually wore, and also took a set of casual home clothes...all packed in a suitcase and dragged them out.

"Where are we going now?" He Kao asked after getting in the car.

Gao Xue'e said weakly, "Let's go to your house. Can you lend me the bed I slept in yesterday? I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in another bed."

When she said the words "borrow my bed", she didn't think much about it, it just represented her subconscious feeling.

The bed in her own home had left a psychological scar on her, a constant feeling of danger; while the bed in He Kao's home represented the feeling of finally being safe after being rescued. This may not seem logical, but everyone has emotions.

He Kao didn't say anything and drove away.

While walking through the city of Qiyuan, he happened to see a sign on the side of the road and said, "I want to get a massage."

Gao Xue'e seemed a little overwhelmed, and whispered shyly, "Ah, massage? I, I don't know how to do it, what should I do?"

"You misunderstood. I didn't ask you to give me a massage! I want to get a massage. I've been sore all over today. We can find a place to massage together."

He Kao was amused by her and laughed out loud. This was the first time he laughed today.

At the same time, Gu Yunteng, who was far away on the top floor of Tengyun Building, couldn't laugh.

He sat alone in the huge office, with only a dim desk lamp on, several mobile phones placed in front of him, his hands on the table, and his legs shaking subconsciously.
