Li Xingkong didn't rush to show himself and ask Dong Yu for it. In the current situation, he was actually in a behind-the-scenes position. If he jumped out to ask for it directly, he would expose himself to the other side and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Although these troubles might only involve running a few extra steps for me, there's no need for that. As long as I keep an eye on Dong Yu and find the location of the Body Tempering Grass, I can just quietly take it away.
Even the other side might not know who took it. In their eyes, he was just an ordinary citizen, and even if they investigated later, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to him.
As for Reiko's situation, Li Xingkong now has channels to obtain firsthand information, and he no longer needs to worry about the other side using force to seize her. After all, the communications between their superiors and subordinates are right in front of him, and even if they want to use force, he can get the operation information immediately.
At this moment, I am in an invincible position in terms of information.
Unless someone still reports work face-to-face, how could there be such a person these days? Besides, Reiko lives in the village, far away from the person in charge of this group, so she can't report to him face-to-face.
Li Xingkong stayed temporarily around the school, keeping a close eye on news from Dong Yu and information from Cherry Blossom Wind Group.
Dong Yu truly lived up to his reputation as a successful and renowned professor; Heavenly Capital the day's news consisted of flirting, and he chatted with over a dozen women in a single day. As for the content, Li Xingkong wasn't unfamiliar with Imperial Uncle Liu, but the imagination of the author of Liu Bei certainly couldn't match the richness of what he had seen in half a day.
That left him speechless. Li Xingkong felt that if he had applied this skill to academia, winning a Nobel Prize might be a possibility, but winning a top-tier domestic award would be no problem at all.
It just goes to show that everyone has their own ambitions.
After a day of surveillance, we didn't get any useful information. It felt like all this guy thought about was money and women. I was speechless.
There was much more information about Cherry Blossom Wind Group. Li Xingkong followed the frequency of their communication with Dong Yu and took the opportunity to find most of Cherry Blossom Wind Group's external communication information, which he then filtered out.
A large portion of it consisted of the group's business information, internal dynamics, and work-related information. For Li Xingkong, this information was just something to glance at. However, if a corporate spy or a rival company saw this information, its value would be far more than a million.
However, these things were completely useless to Li Xingkong. He wasn't a corporate spy, nor did he know any rival companies of the Cherry Blossom Wind Group. Even if he tried to sell this information, why would the other party believe him?
Nothing is useless; it's just that this thing is useless to you. In another context, its value might far exceed your imagination.
Aside from this information, which was completely useless to Li Xingkong, there was another part that Li Xingkong was quite interested in, and this part was related to him. The first thing Li Xingkong saw was Reiko's report, which basically said that Li Xingkong's first conversation had not been successful; the plants were not being sold, and the people were unwilling to join the group.
The group's response was to try several more times. Divine Land People value courtesy, and three visits to a humble abode are necessary to show sincerity. The group doesn't mind showing its sincerity to outstanding talents. Of course, in addition to this step, it is necessary to further investigate Li Xingkong's family information and find a breakthrough point in his personal and even family aspects, such as money, power, marital status, illness, etc.
If they really can't find a solution, then the group will devise a plan and manually create a breakthrough.
It must be said that the actions of such large corporations are very comprehensive; when they want someone, they don't consider moral or legal constraints at all.
The law constrains people because it clearly defines the consequences of breaking the law; therefore, the law is, in fact, a commodity.
As long as you can afford the price, you can do illegal things. It's like buying something; if you can afford the money, you can buy what you want.
For these multinational corporations, the consequences of breaking the law are negligible, because they have plenty of people to push forward and bear the consequences.
Of course, Li Xingkong, as the person involved, had a different feeling.
He felt like he had stepped on a piece of chewing gum; it was sticky and he couldn't peel it off.
This whole mess is bad, but thankfully the Body Tempering Grass hasn't been handed over to them yet. Although someone is handling this matter, they're not taking it seriously enough.
If the Body Tempering Grass had already been studied in their laboratory, then their methods would likely be even more swift and decisive.
With this information, Li Xingkong abandoned his plan to return immediately. Since the other side was going to make a three-visit trip, he decided not to rush. He would find the person who had been stranded there first, and then deal with Reiko and her group later.
Although there were many things to do, he couldn't rush them. He had been cultivating for a long time, and it was rare to have such a time. He had to attend to news and couldn't devote himself to cultivation, so this half-day was a rare moment of free time for him.
Finally, I have time to browse some silly news. After all, besides spiritual practice, I am also a social being.
Everyone has social needs. Even if my social needs are low, I still need to communicate with people occasionally, whether they are people around me or online friends, which can effectively alleviate my social needs.
While scrolling through the pages, Li Xingkong came across a rather interesting news item.
It is said that a group of criminals involved in fraud and theft were apprehended in a certain residential area.
There are many such fraud cases, and what piqued Li Xingkong's interest was naturally their methods of deception.
They set up signal receivers near the residential area, collected the phone information of the residents, and used mobile phone verification codes to steal their accounts. When the verification codes were sent back, they received them through the signal receivers, thus stealing money solely through the signal receivers.
Li Xingkong naturally wanted to learn about such technically skilled criminals, since his own home was also in the area and he was bound to encounter similar methods.
What interests him even more is that their method is somewhat similar to his current Heavenly Eye Express Edition, except that they intercept SMS content through technical means, while he sees it directly with his naked eye.
This gave him some inspiration.
"That's right, why should I just wait around?" Li Xingkong suddenly realized.
He knew Dong Yu's phone number, and he could see the information on his phone. So why wait for him? He could just steal his number while he was sleeping; wouldn't that be much easier?
No, the new V phones don't have chat history, so even if you get the account, you can't see the previous messages.
However, this news has given Li Xingkong a new idea. He already has a plan: if the plan works, not only will he be able to get the Body Tempering Grass soon, but the Cherry Blossom Wind Group will also be unable to have any impact on him.
