What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

Cang Xing raised his hand and gave her another flick on the forehead, scolding, "Don't change the subject, let's get down to business."

"Don't keep hitting my head, it'll stunt my growth! If you hit me again, I'll..." Before Mu Yue could finish speaking, she saw Cang Xing already entering the number. She instantly cowered and meekly changed her words, "I'll tell you everything, okay?"

"All of those who have disappeared this time are young women, and their looks are at least a 7 out of 10. They all seem to have vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace, and we can't find any trace of them anywhere."

"When the captain and Altai were investigating, they discovered that all the missing people were artists from a media company called Fan Hua Shi Rong before the incident."

"It's this company again?!"

Cangxing and Zhong Hui spoke in unison.

"You guys know this company too?"

"It's hard not to know even if you want to." Cang Xing's head ached just thinking about this company. He waved his hand and said, "Go on, are there any other clues?"

Mu Yue said, "We investigated all the company's employees and found that many of them had criminal records for tax evasion, fraud, and sexual assault, but none of them were related to the missing women case."

"The captain now suspects that this bizarre disappearance is most likely related to the mysteriously missing boss of Fan Hua Shi Rong. That's all the clues we have so far."

Cang Xing frowned, recalling his previous experience at the high-speed rail station. "This company has a terrible track record, involved in so many illegal and scandalous things, and there have been so many unusual incidents. How can it still operate normally?"

"What are you talking about?" Mu Yue corrected her with a puzzled look. "From the first day the case was exposed and formally investigated, all of the company's operations were suspended, and the people involved were criminally detained by the police. This matter has even made the news."

"Are you sure?" Cang Xing raised an eyebrow. "When I came back today, I ran into a talent scout from Fan Hua Shi Rong at the high-speed rail station. The scout kept pestering me to sign a contract, saying that if I signed, I would definitely become a huge star and become a popular actress."

"That's impossible. The company has been shut down and all the top executives are in jail. With no one in charge, how can there still be talent scouts recruiting people? They can't be working for free, can they?"

"But I did encounter it. You can ask Zhong Hui if you don't believe me."

Zhong Hui, who was mentioned, nodded and confirmed, "That's right. That talent scout pestered Cang Xing for a long time and even left a business card before leaving."

Zhong Hui's reminder made Cang Xing realize something, and he slapped his forehead: "Right, I still have his business card. I'll go look for it."

After saying that, she got up and went straight to the bathroom.

A short while later, Cangxing returned and handed a business card to Muyue.

Mu Yue took it and looked at it, then said in surprise, "It really is."

She looked puzzled: "But...but that doesn't make sense. The company has been shut down and there are no salaries being paid. Why are people still actively recruiting? Do they really like working for free?"

"Instead of just speculating here, why not make a phone call and find out the truth?" Zhong Hui suggested.

Cangxing immediately dialed the number on the business card.

The phone rang for several tens of seconds before it was answered.

"Hello, who is this?" A man's voice came from the other end of the receiver.

"Hello, my name is... Ying Honglian. We met at the high-speed rail station this afternoon. You even gave me a business card, saying that I can contact you anytime once I've thought it through." Cang Xing's voice was gentle and mild, without any hint of anything amiss.

"Oh, it's you! I remember you." The male voice instantly became enthusiastic. "So you've finally decided to sign with our company?"

"Yes, I've thought it through. I want to be a star." Cangxing agreed, playing along with the other person's act.

"Great!" the man exclaimed, his voice even more excited. "I'll send you the address right away. Just come to this place for the interview tomorrow. The company will reimburse all your travel expenses!"

Cang Xing feigned confusion and tentatively asked, "The company name on the business card is Fan Hua Shi Rong. Can't I just go to the company headquarters for the interview? Why do I have to go somewhere else?"

To be honest, Ms. Ying, the company has recently encountered some operational problems, and business at the original location has been temporarily suspended. We are currently preparing a new team and moving to a new address.

[Furthermore, the company doesn't have many signed artists right now. As long as you're willing to join, the company will definitely give you their all. They'll prioritize you for releasing singles, albums, and getting you roles in film, television, and variety shows. They'll absolutely make you a top star!]

The man talked on and on, enthusiastically painting a rosy picture.

"The pay is so good! Send me your address quickly, I'll come for an interview tomorrow." Cang Xing pretended to be interested, her tone filled with excitement.

Let's add each other as friends on social media first; it'll make communication, sharing locations, and coordinating things easier later.

"can."

The two had just added each other as friends when the other person sent detailed location information, followed by a series of meticulously edited promotional photos, generous salary and benefits details, and various forms of support provided by the company to the artists, which was dazzling to the eye.

Mu Yue leaned closer and glanced at the benefits, then exclaimed in surprise, "These perks are so tempting! They make me want to debut as a star!"

Cangxing encouraged her: "You can totally give it a try. Being a magical girl who protects the world on one hand, and a top star who is adored by countless people on the other, your life would be so colorful, wouldn't it be great?"

"I will die young."

"This is good news!"

"..."

"Now that we have the location, shall we go and take a look?" Zhong Hui looked at the two who were bickering impatiently.

“No need to rush.” Cang Xing shook his head. “Going over there rashly now might alert the enemy. Let me talk to this person first and get more information.”

She turned to look at Muyue and instructed her, "Go back immediately and tell the captain what clues we've found. Make a plan, and we'll try to arrest them tomorrow."

Once it came to serious matters, Muyue stopped being so unserious. She reluctantly blew Zhong Hui a kiss from afar before turning and leaving.

Cangxing continued to act like an innocent young girl, constantly asking the man all sorts of questions and pretending to be worried.

The other party patiently persuaded her and kept making grand promises.

With nothing much to do, Zhong Hui simply meditated and cultivated himself to conserve his energy for tomorrow's tasks.

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

The next day, Cangxing put on light makeup, wore a jasmine-white long dress, and had her hair tied up, making her look like an ethereal white flower.

"How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

She stood there, her long dress accentuating her slender figure and revealing half of her neck, which was as radiant as moonlight. With a smile in her eyes, she twirled around, leaving a trail of fragrance in her wake.

Zhong Hui sipped his Sprite and commented, "Like a fairy from the moon palace, untouched by worldly affairs."

Cangxing seemed to understand but not quite: "Oh~ so you mean I'm pretty, right?"

Zhong Hui nodded.

"Alright, let's go." Before leaving, Cangxing turned back to warn Xiaobai who had followed, "You're not allowed to poop or pee anywhere again, or I'll make dog meat hot pot when we get back!"

"Waaah~"

Seeing its owner's serious expression, Xiaobai lowered its head and whimpered incessantly.

"It would be such a waste to eat it."

When Zhong Hui spoke, Cang Xing was quite pleased, and was just about to take turns playing the good cop and the bad cop to properly persuade Xiao Bai, but then he heard him say: "Xiao Bai doesn't have much meat on him now, we have to raise him a bit bigger before we eat him."

Zhong Hui already had a lot of complaints about Xiao Bai, who was always doing nothing, but he had no choice but to accept it because Cang Xing was protecting him. Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to strike hard.

"gone!"

Cangxing grabbed Zhong Hui and pulled him out the door, slamming the door shut behind them.

Zhong Hui was a little puzzled, wondering what was wrong with her this time.

As the two walked downstairs, the team leader and his group, who had been waiting downstairs, immediately came to greet them.

The captain looked Cang Xing up and down and praised, "As expected of our Floating Light Squad's former face of beauty, even with a little dressing up, you're still so good-looking."

"That's right, don't you even know who she used to be the most beloved?"

As soon as she said it, Muyue realized something was wrong. She turned her head and saw Yaori staring at her with a half-smile.

"Hehehe, that's my..."

"You really have the nerve to bring this up. Back then, you were having an affair with Cangxing behind my back. You were having your cake and eating it too, and not only that, you were also seeing other women."

Yao Ri gently stroked Mu Yue's head and said slowly in the most tender and moving tone, "You have to be punished for doing wrong, you know. I'll deal with you slowly after this is over."

"We need to teach her a lesson. This girl came to my house to harass Zhong Hui yesterday while you were out investigating!" Cang Xing, always eager for drama, added fuel to the fire.

Yao Ri's smile grew even more gentle and kind.

Mu Yue's face instantly fell. Feeling the gentle caress on her head, she felt as if her life had turned into utter darkness.

The captain's moves are so flashy, even she can't keep up!

"Really... there are other people here!"

Hearing these inappropriate words for children, Fluorescent's face turned bright red, and he whispered a reminder.

Altai shook his head helplessly. The relationships among the people present were too messy. Only she and Yingguang were as pure as white flowers, not getting involved with either the opposite sex or the same sex.

Chapter 116 Operation Failed

"Alright, alright, I'm off now."

Cangxing stopped smiling and ended the conversation. She carried a blue and white shoulder bag printed with a teddy bear and a bouquet of flowers, and walked briskly towards the taxi that had just stopped in front of her.

The remaining five people stood there, silently watching her leave.

Only after Cang Xing got into the car did Zhong Hui finally speak up: "You really aren't sending anyone to accompany her? Won't something happen if she goes alone?"

"Don't worry, Cangxing has a GPS tracker on him. Once the car is a bit further away, we'll follow quietly behind using the GPS and be ready to provide support at any time. We also have fluorescent lights as backup, so if any emergencies occur, we can get to the scene in seconds."

Yao Ri was very confident in his plan. As soon as the taxi drove out of sight, he immediately called everyone to get in the car.

The five quickly got into the car. Yao Ri was in charge of driving, while Mu Yue in the passenger seat kept a close eye on Cang Xing's location and maintained a safe following distance to prevent anyone from secretly observing and disrupting the entire operation.

The car slowly started moving and followed Cangxing's car into the distance.

…………

Inside the taxi, Cangxing glanced back twice, still worried. Cars were flowing by on the road, but he couldn't see the vehicle carrying the captain and his group.

She breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small mirror from her bag, and carefully adjusted the wisteria flower hair clip in her hair, which was actually the locator she carried with her.

Tonight's action plan was finalized by Yao Ri and Altai overnight after Mu Yue reported it last night.

The plan was simple: Cangxing would meet the scout alone, while the others would secretly follow and remain hidden throughout. They would then appear immediately if any danger arose and take down the entire target group.

If all goes well, this case of a missing woman can be solved.

The agreed interview location was in the suburbs, which was quite a distance away.

Since he had nothing better to do, Cangxing decided to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with the talent scout, hoping to extract more crucial information.

"Are you there?"

Yes, yes, what's up?

The two quickly started chatting.
