I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 497: Exploring information
"After extensive investigation, the expert team concluded that the entire incident was caused by the truck driver's overloading and fatigue, coupled with the immense mental stress after crashing into the parked bicycle, leading to hallucinations. As for the so-called 'exploding material,' it was actually the bicycle he had previously crashed. This story teaches us that we must obey traffic rules and refuse to drive while fatigued..."

"Wow..." Feng Xue's lips curled up slightly as she looked at the report, which had taken on a scientific flavor.

However, he was certain that the article was utter nonsense, because he knew very well that the jade bag he had blown up contained either jade scraps or various small pieces of furniture. Anyone who had actually surveyed the scene would understand that it was definitely not something that could be caused by simply hitting a bicycle on the side of the road.

"So either someone cleaned up the mess before the reporters arrived, or it was fake news deliberately released by the authorities to maintain stability."

Feng Xue nodded thoughtfully, but her mood was not very good.

Since someone is trying to defend it, it means that this matter is likely being watched by certain groups, whether it's the official authorities of the world or special organizations in the private sector, which is a destabilizing factor.

Fortunately, he is strong enough now. At least according to Delis, the world of heroes, which has a relatively low level of martial arts, should not be able to put enough pressure on him.

"We really need to find a way to investigate this."

Thinking of this, Feng Xue finally pulled herself up from the sofa, composed herself, put Delis back in her pocket, and then said to Liu Yunxi, who was still busy in the kitchen:
"Yunxi, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back for lunch! If anyone comes looking for me, hide well and then use the communicator I gave you to notify me!"

"Okay! Be careful!" Liu Yunxi poked half her head out of the kitchen, and Feng Xue didn't say anything more, turning around and walking towards the door.

"Hey! Why didn't you arrange anything for the two of us?" Sarah said immediately as Feng Xue was about to leave. Feng Xue turned her head in surprise and said:
"You two aren't minors, so as long as you don't cause trouble, you can do whatever you want. Oh, right, I almost forgot. I asked Kaguya to collect materials to multiply nanounits. If it's convenient for you, could you keep an eye on her? That girl is a bit weak-willed, and I'm afraid she'll just pick one spot and start digging."

"Fine." Sarah turned her head and rolled her eyes at Fina, who was happily hugging her tablet, before finally shaking her head helplessly.

After explaining the situation, Feng Xue didn't waste any more words. She made sure her appearance was fine before leaving the apartment...

……

"Jingle Bell……"

As the mahjong parlor door was pushed open, the brass bell hanging by the door jingled. It was still morning, and the parlor was nearly empty. Mr. Chen, the owner, who was sitting behind the counter, glanced around casually, his previously lazy gaze suddenly focusing. He then stood up, waved, and gave a friendly smile.

"Hey! Little Feng, it's been a while since you've been here. Quite a few of my men are waiting to get revenge on you!"

"Ugh, don't even mention it!" Feng Xue looked conflicted, took a few steps to the counter, then pretended to look around the mahjong parlor to make sure no one was nearby before whispering:
"Uncle Chen, you have a wide network of connections. I need you to help me find out something. Don't worry, I won't let you do it for nothing!"

"Oh?" Uncle Chen's eyes sharpened slightly upon hearing this, but as he watched Feng Xue subtly push the small yellow croaker towards him, his amiable expression vanished in an instant. He casually grabbed a drink and handed it to Feng Xue, the small yellow croaker falling into his bag as well. He seemed to weigh it in his hand to assess its quality before speaking with a gentle smile:
"What's wrong? Tell your uncle."

"Well...you might think I'm making this up, but I really did run into something unclean, um, the kind that's really troublesome..."

Feng Xue struggled with her choice of words, while Uncle Chen's eyes unconsciously narrowed.

This Uncle Chen was the owner of the mahjong parlor where Feng Xue played mahjong before her first stroke of luck. Although it was called a mahjong parlor, such places that allowed players to exchange chips for cash were essentially casinos. And the people who could run a gambling den were naturally no ordinary individuals.

Feng Xue wins more than she loses at mahjong here. Every time she wins, she takes 30% to treat the shop to tea, which is essentially a protection fee. And now, this Uncle Chen is the person she knows who is most likely to be involved in supernatural events.

As for why I didn't ask back then...

After all, it's about extending one's life, and for things like that, millions or tens of millions are just a drop in the ocean. As for that kind of state where he has no abilities other than being able to see his lifespan, he really doesn't think he can get any help from a big shot with a shady background.

Now that he has money and power, he can ask questions he didn't dare to before.

Faced with Feng Xue's hesitant words, Uncle Chen did not show any impatience. Observing the changes in his willpower, Feng Xue also understood the situation.

This silence lasted for about ten seconds before Uncle Chen finally spoke to the person in the corner:

"Aji! Come over here and keep an eye on things for a bit! I need to talk to Xiao Feng about something!"

"Understood, Uncle!"

The young man from the corner sauntered over, and Uncle Chen gave Feng Xue a look before leading him toward a private room.

Upon entering the private room, Uncle Chen's expression didn't suddenly change; he simply spoke in a somewhat heavy voice:

"I know a little about unclean things. Tell me in detail so I can take a look."

"Actually, this started more than half a year ago. I seemed to bump into something while walking at night, and then I kept feeling like I was being followed. I also experienced sleep paralysis. At first, I thought it was just psychological, but later some strange things happened frequently. I went to the hospital, burned incense at temples, and visited Taoist temples and City God Temples, but none of them had any effect."

"And Uncle Chen, as you know, this kind of thing is quite expensive. I'm only good at playing mahjong, so... hehe, anyway, as you know, I won a hand of pure nines and made a lot of money. So I just traveled around to see if I could find some places that are effective. As a result, I've been to all the places with a reputation in the past six months, but my mental state is getting worse every day, and that thing is getting clearer every day. I really had no other choice, so I remembered that I had heard that you had some energy, so I decided to try it out on you."

Hearing Feng Xue's words, Uncle Chen was not surprised. A mahjong master suddenly appeared, and as a local, he naturally had to investigate. In his investigation, Feng Xue did indeed suddenly start going to places like hospitals and temples, and then inexplicably started playing mahjong.

Now that I hear what he said, I understand the situation better.

only……

"I do have connections in this area, but the other party might not be available anytime soon..."
