After Li Xingkong locked onto the relevant information and filtered out the irrelevant information, he kept a close eye on the information interactions here.
Li Xingkong is like an internet ghost now. He can see through their conversation. He's like a behind-the-scenes boss sitting behind a screen, watching the kids in the front hall plotting loudly.
"The plant is still with me. My suggestion is that you come and pick it up, and make sure there is proper security to prevent any accidents during the transfer."
The person who provided the information spoke up; it seemed that the Body Tempering Grass was now in his hands.
"Okay, I'll send two security teams to pick you up. Yuko will go get it herself."
Judging from the other party's words, they should be the ones who want to get their plants. Based on the phone call Reiko made to me, they're probably from the Cherry Blossom Wind Group.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for Yuko in my office."
The man spoke again, and Li Xingkong caught the key word: office.
If it's in an office near the school, then the plant might be in the possession of one of the teachers.
"It must be given to Yuko personally; no one else, no matter who, is acceptable."
Cherry Blossom Wind Group clearly takes this matter very seriously; the seriousness of their tone is evident in their words.
"Director, rest assured, I never make mistakes. The message you asked me to release last time—I'm not bragging, but no one else could have done it so well."
"That's right. I still have great faith in your abilities. The last rumor dealt a severe blow to agriculture in Divine Land. The board members are very satisfied with your actions. At this rate, we can soon get the four major grain traders to intervene in Divine Land."
"If this matter is resolved, I'll put in a good word for you at the meeting and increase investment in you."
The two exchanged a few words about related matters and then started chatting casually. However, Li Xingkong wasn't in a hurry; sometimes, casual conversation could reveal more personal information.
"Director, I have some new students here, and they're quite pretty. How about we get together sometime?"
Well, judging from his words, he's no good. When he's getting the materials, Li Xingkong wouldn't mind giving him a kick along the way.
"Okay, okay, you can make the arrangements. University life is great!"
"By the way, Director, what's our next move regarding Ximen Feng?"
After chatting about men's topics for a while, just as Li Xingkong was getting sleepy, the group returned to the main topic.
"He's just an ordinary student. After this matter is over, we'll arrange for him to come to the company. We can just find a minor accident to clean up the mess later."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Seeing that he wouldn't have to get his hands dirty, the person on this side was clearly quite happy.
" Yu-san, this is your student. A teacher for a day is a father for life."
"You're joking. When the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. For the sake of my father, letting him die is considered fulfilling filial piety, hahaha."
Great, after listening to so much nonsense, we've finally gotten the key information.
His name contains the character for "jade," and he's also Ximen Feng's teacher. That's enough to lock someone down; the information he gathered from eavesdropping for a short while Heavenly Capital of running around.
"How is the situation with Miss Reiko now?"
A few words decided Ximen Feng's life or death, and then they asked another question.
" Yu-san, I support you because you're a smart person. Don't do anything that makes me think you're foolish."
Clearly, this was beyond his knowledge.
"I'm sorry, Director. I was confused. I was thinking that it might be inconvenient for Ms. Divine Land Reiko to do things here, and that I could help if needed. I overstepped my bounds."
"I can see right through your little scheme. So what if you're in Divine Land? Our group's reputation wasn't built by others. Dealing with an ordinary person isn't that complicated."
What followed was just casual conversation between the two; Li Xingkong had no intention of watching any further.
I've learned most of what I wanted to know, so it's time to take action.
However, before taking action, he memorized the signal band of the Cherry Blossom Wind Group so that he could see it whenever he contacted anyone.
Judging from their tone, their subsequent methods probably won't be much cleaner either.
Li Xingkong naturally hoped they would cross the line. He wanted to be a law-abiding citizen in Divine Land, but if the other side used illegal means first, he would have to retaliate against them.
Hurry up and show us your methods.
Having heard the information he wanted, Li Xingkong stopped waiting at the base station and went directly to the building where Ximen Feng was located.
Every school is the same; they all like to hang pictures of their teachers and professors on the wall. It seems silly, but it makes it easier for Li Xingkong to find people. Is there even a need to look? Their photos, names, titles, and office locations are all on the wall.
Li Xingkong quickly found Dong Yu's information.
He didn't look like a respectable person; he was a greasy, middle-aged man with sparse, thinning hair that looked like it was about to fall out. He wore a pair of square, black-rimmed glasses, which made him look quite respectable.
You can still tell there's a hint of sleazy in his eyes; you can't see a trace of cultured air about him in his photos.
The saying "your appearance reflects your heart" isn't without reason. To put it simply, if an iron rod is bent in one direction every day for decades, it will eventually become bent. Similarly, if you are kind and gentle Heavenly Capital, after decades, your face will naturally reflect a kind and gentle expression.
If you are angry, petty, or scheming every day, you may not realize it yourself, but over time, these expressions will naturally change your facial features.
It's not that appearance influences personality, but rather that personality changes appearance.
This is also the effect of long-term exercise that happens unintentionally.
Therefore, it's actually quite easy to tell a person's personality by looking at their face.
As for the claim of fortune telling or divination, that's utter nonsense.
If someone's face is clearly angry, that person is probably no better. Who gets angry every day? Do they really think everyone is a homeroom teacher?
Having found Dong Yu, Li Xingkong's journey with the Body Tempering Grass was about to come to an end, making his pace much easier.
As for how to get the Body Tempering Grass back, we'll have to resort to some tricks. Just going to his door to ask for it won't work; he definitely won't give it to us. Based on what I just overheard, this thing is related to his future financial prospects.
The saying "Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents" still holds true.
It would be better to wait until he takes over from the Cherry Blossom Wind Group and then retrieve it himself, saving him the trouble of searching for it himself.
