Mu Yaoxi took a look and nodded, saying, "I see. Her situation is not optimistic. If Xuan Tiansi does not intend to share information, then we should take the dark route."
"Okay." Xiao Shuihan agreed: "I will go and get in touch with the intelligence dealers on the Rat Road...Do I need to report the cost of the intelligence?"
"Use my own pocket money to help you out." Mu Yaoxi held up her chin and said, "I'll approve some funding for you later. Don't spend it too quickly."
Xiao Shuihan hesitated: "Is this your dowry? I've saved it for so many years..."
"What are you thinking?" Mu Yaoxi rolled her eyes. "Do you think the Mu family has no assets? I get dividends from the group every year, and the Shen Ce Mansion accepts donations from the society every year. There is no need to make this money public."
"Donation?" It was the first time Xiao Shuihan heard of this: "What donation?"
"It's called a social donation, but it's actually a percentage rebate." Su Ruoli explained, "Because the donation comes from the pharmaceutical group, and Bai Yu directly opened up the recipe for the Ascension Pill, the Ascension Pill has been approved by the Xuanhu Division and is on the market. The pharmaceutical companies that have obtained the qualifications to produce the Ascension Pill are making a lot of money, and they will rebate a fixed percentage, which has become one of the funding sources for the Shen Ce Mansion."
“Isn’t this Bai Yu’s money?”
"He said no."
“But the pharmaceutical group has to give it?”
"How dare they not give it to him? He is the youngest Jiaoyang in Daxia...successful businessmen are very good at dealing with people."
Mu Yaoxi held up his cheek and said, "Initially, these groups did intend to return the profits directly to me, but before those people came to me, Bai Yu had already gone abroad; so they came to the Shen Ce Mansion and begged us to take the money, crying and shouting, otherwise the more they earn, the more uneasy they will feel."
"Awesome!" Xiao Shuihan exclaimed. This income had nothing to do with bribery. It came entirely from Bai Yu's personal income. It would be useless for anyone to investigate.
Even though Bai Yu had not been in the Shen Ce Mansion for more than half a year, he had already arranged the funding issue, so the Shen Ce Mansion developed so rapidly and never lacked funds.
Is this all part of your plan? Bai Jiaoyang!
"Don't think too much." Su Ruoli advised: "He may not care about this matter at all. It's just a coincidence... Even if the pharmaceutical group doesn't give money, he won't do anything."
"As the Art of War says, the best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting."
Xiao Shuihan was the one who witnessed Bai Yu's rise with his own eyes.
He certainly wouldn't think Bai Yu was a lazy dog who didn't think about anything.
"As long as you are happy." Mu Yaoxi lowered her head and continued to look at the information.
"Oh, right." Xiao Shuihan pulled out a rather thick envelope from the folder. "Miss Su, there is a letter for you. The delivery was handled by an employee of Nifeng Logistics, who sent it directly to the front desk of Shen Ce Mansion. It just went through several security checks and sterilization measures before it was delivered, which delayed it by half an hour... There is also a gift attached, which has been taken away for inspection. It will be sent back after it is confirmed to be OK."
Su Ruoli looked at the letter, took it, and after examining the cover, asked, "Where did this letter come from?"
"The employee who delivered the letter said... it was from Fuso." Xiao Shuihan raised his hand: "I don't know the specific content. You will know after you open it."
After saying this, he took the initiative to leave the office.
"Take it apart and take a look?" Mu Yaoxi guessed, "What if it's good news?"
Good news from Fuso?
Su Ruoli thought of a lot in just three seconds. She opened the envelope. The letter was a Russian nesting doll, and inside the letter was another letter and several sheets of stationery.
Out of habit, Su Ruoli wanted to read the letter outside first.
But soon he saw the handwriting on another letter, and immediately threw the letter paper with beautiful handwriting aside, opened the handwritten letter left by Bai Yu and read it carefully.
Mu Yaoxi wanted to move closer and stand on tiptoe to take a look, but Su Ruoli immediately turned sideways.
"?"
“This is for me.”
Su Ruoli is not such a stingy person. It can be seen that this letter really touched her soft spot, which is why she was reluctant to share it with others at the first time.
Mu Yaoxi could only sit back, waiting anxiously for her to finish tasting the food, and then eat the leftovers from the second round.
She quietly observed Su Ruoli's expression and noticed that her look became relaxed and calm, and the previous anxiety dissipated.
At this time, the rainy weather outside the window finally cleared up. A little sunlight passed through the gaps in the clouds, casting warm light into the office and illuminating her silhouette.
Su Ruoli read the letter over and over again three times, which took a full ten minutes.
"He's fine."
"Who?"
"In Bai Yu's letter, he said he was fine, just trapped temporarily." Su Ruoli sighed from the deepest part of his lungs, as if he wanted to let out all the pent-up emotions that had been pent up for more than half a month.
If this were a game, then green healing signals of 'Mood +1+1+1...' would be floating above her head.
"Are you sure?" Mu Yaoxi asked, "He disappeared in the dead of winter, and then sent the letter to Fusang?"
"No, this letter should have been forwarded by someone else." Su Ruoli shook his head: "But I am sure it was him... The letter contains some content that only we know."
Mu Yaoxi became even more curious about the letter.
But then doubts followed.
"The letter in your hand is from Bai Yu, so which one is the other?"
Su Ruoli picked up another letter... It was written on vertical letter paper, with the words arranged vertically from right to left. This ancient way of writing requires a very high level of calligraphy skills from the person involved.
Just from the handwriting, you can tell that the writer is a woman who is well-educated.
The handwriting is not unfamiliar, the words and sentences are very fluent, there is no reading difficulty at all, and the written language is very appropriate and does not seem difficult at all.
But such a letter came from the hands of a Japanese.
It is not uncommon for the Japanese to be fascinated by Daxia culture, but for a woman to study Daxia's writing and culture so deeply, there must be some direct reason behind it.
Su Ruoli began to read the letter.
Mu Yaoxi noticed something strange again.
Different from her previous standing posture when reading, Su Ruoli went from tense to relaxed, but now she slightly raised her eyes and looked at them from the perspective of a teacher standing on the podium looking at the students, not condescendingly, but with a hint of scrutiny.
...The expression is a bit scary. What exactly is written in this letter?
...Could it be that Bai Yu has a mistress outside?
...That's not right. Am I not the mistress?
Mu Yaoxi looked confused, but didn't dare to ask.
After a while, the letter came to an end. Su Ruoli covered the letter and asked thoughtfully, "It seemed that they mentioned a gift just now?"
"Didn't the letter mention what was sent?" Mu Yaoxi picked up the phone: "Should I have someone send it up?"
"It didn't mention what it was specifically...but, I can probably guess."
Su Ruoli leaned on the desk with her arms folded, gently shaking the letter in her hand.
Mu Yaoxi couldn't hold back her curiosity and couldn't help but stretch out her little hand: "Let me have a look!"
"You are still young and can't control yourself." Su Ruoli pressed Mu Yaoxi's forehead: "You will be deceived by the bad woman after reading this."
A moment later, the small gift attached to the letter was delivered.
Su Ruoli opened it and said with a smile, "Sure enough...as expected."
A beautiful kimono was lying quietly in the package, with hydrangea patterns embroidered on it.
After all, in Japanese culture, the only two gifts that can be presented are kimonos and swords.
Since it can't be the latter, it must be the former.
"What a beautiful kimono. It must be expensive." This was also the first time Mu Yaoxi had seen a real kimono. "It looks a bit similar to the Hanfu from the Tang Dynasty."
"Few people in Daxia wear this dress, and there is no occasion to wear it." Su Ruoli's fingers brushed across the hydrangea pattern: "This is an invitation to me. If I visit Fusang in the future, I will change into this dress."
"Who sent it?" Mu Yaoxi thought it shouldn't be Bai Yu, his emotional intelligence was not up to that level.
"Yes..." Su Ruoli paused, and after considering his words, he said, "It's a Japanese woman whose existence I already knew about, but I've never met or communicated with her."
She pursed her lips and whispered, "It's amazing that I sometimes get jealous of others."
"Are you jealous?" Mu Yaoxi's heart moved, and she had an urge to ask a question, but the answer was predicted before she could ask it.
"I won't be jealous of you because you haven't reached that stage yet."
Mu Yaoxi's fists were hardened. Isn't there any respect for my sweetheart sent from heaven?
"But I would be jealous of her. Her existence has always been a secret and I have no idea how he met her."
Su Ruoli said softly: "Before this, I didn't even know her name..."
Mu Yaoxi was surprised and asked, "But you and Bai Yu have never been apart since childhood, right? It was only this time, so they should have known each other for the past six months."
"It's not in the past six months, but we knew each other before that." Su Ruoli said with certainty.
She couldn't hide the jealousy and envy in her tone.
"This is a secret that only belongs to the two of them. I will figure it out sooner or later."
"I remember her name."
"Amamiya, Mahiru."
Chapter 806: The Day of Returning to Daxia, the Time of Its Return
"Prepare some paper and pen... the four treasures of the study."
Su Ruoli ordered: "Grind it for me, and add fragrance to your sleeves."
Mu Yaoxi was shocked by the sudden attitude of the eldest lady, and then said with a smile: "Are you stimulated by the beautiful handwriting of others? Where does this unreasonable desire to compare come from..."
"I'm not so naive, but... Amamiya Mahiru's letter is full of sincerity and I can't treat it casually, otherwise I will be at a disadvantage." Su Ruoli's unyielding character came out, she snorted and said, "I am from Daxia, a family of scholars, how could I lose to a Japanese girl?"
Mu Yaoxi said: "If you don't want to reply, then just don't reply?"
"That would make me look insecure, and if Bai Yu has any letters in the future, they will have to be delivered through her." Miss Su spread out the rice paper and picked up the hard wolf-hair brush: "More importantly, I want to meet her."
"Why don't you go back and write? I still have work to do."
"Don't talk, Yanmo."
"You are rebelling! You are rebelling against Tiangang! I am the one who has the final say in the Shen Ce Mansion!"
"You are the mouthpiece and agent of the person in charge, and I am the future wife of the person in charge. I am older than you."
Su Ruoli was completely immersed in analyzing the structure of the letter and how to retaliate implicitly, and didn't listen to Mu Yaoxi's complaints at all.
She thought about it, then started drafting.
The third sentence of the opening...
[I present my beautiful calligraphy to you, as if I saw your beautiful face]
[Miss Amamiya, I was surprised and delighted to receive your letter]
[Accidents lead to encounters, and encounters remove the hazy veil of secrets. Now that we know each other, this is really a good thing worth celebrating. I sincerely believe that this letter will be a good start...]
Mu Yaoxi couldn't bear to read any more after a few glances. She felt that there were swords and sabers between the lines. She found an excuse to escape from the office and hung a sign on the door saying "Important people here, please do not disturb."
But they didn't realize at this time that Su Ruo made a mistake in the second line of the article "Leaving".
She was a little too impatient and didn't even consider Amemiya Mahiru's actual age... No, maybe she had considered it, but even though there was a three-year age difference, Su Ruoli felt that it was okay to call her sister. After all, when doing things, one should always follow the principle of first come first served.
But she really couldn't have guessed that Amamiya Mahiru's actual age was almost thirty years old.
This age is considered a bachelor even in Japan, and he is more than ten years younger than Su Ruoli.
Su Ruoli subconsciously treated her as a person of the same age, because Bai Yu would not flirt with a woman who was nearly thirty years old, so she wrote down "Sister Amemiya".
Such an active address was considered a low-level mistake, and from Mahiru Amamiya it could only be described as "cute".
……
Three flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Let’s turn our attention back to the protagonist.
Bai Yu had no idea what was happening in the outside world. He just rode his motorcycle alone in the underworld.
Even with the Sun That Never Sets leading the way ahead, it still took ten days and ten nights to drive on this highway before finally reaching the end of the underworld.
I really don’t know if my luck was just too bad or what, but when I was forced into a corner, I finally saw the exit.
As for whether this exit leads to the next level of the Abyss, the world above, or the province of Skyrim...
There is no other way to go anyway.
Bai Yu drove his car directly into the exit where the light was flashing.
Then his senses simply disconnected.
