C56 Covert Investigation

Seeing Zheng Kai's confident look, Elder Sister Meng did not ask any further questions. With a slightly flushed face, she whispered,

"I can guess what you bought? But I like anything you buy. "

Zheng Kai bought her a blue diamond necklace with a heart shaped silver pendant that emitted a pure light. Zheng Kai personally helped her carry it. Looking at this beautiful woman, Zheng Kai had a feeling that he wanted to swallow her up.

After dinner, Zheng Kai went back to his room and thought about how I should find Elder Zhou. If I go directly, then it would seem too purposeful, and at the same time, it would leave a bad impression on Elder Zhou.

And Zheng Kai had to first investigate the background of that Fann Zihua. Since he was able to get his shop sealed, he must be colluding with some officials. Zheng Kai had to figure this out first before going to find Elder Zhou.

Zheng Kai sat on the bed and thought for a while before deciding to send Lu Ying. Last time, it was due to a coincidence that he wouldn't meet someone wearing a treasure this time around. After all, those treasures were not the handicrafts on the street.

Zheng Kai took out a Sound-transmitting Talisman and chanted an incantation to have Lu Ying come over. This Sound-transmitting Talisman was a one-time treasure, after using it, it would automatically turn into a pile of ashes. Its use was that no matter how far away the two of them were, as long as they activated their talisman, they would be able to contact each other.

The talisman that Zheng Kai used was only of a normal grade. There were even higher ranked Sound-transmitting Talisman in the Immortal Realm. It was said that these kinds of Sound-transmitting Talisman could transmit sound across borders, but the price was quite expensive. Even normal immortals wouldn't be able to use it.

Not long after, Lu Ying, who had received Zheng Kai's voice transmission, arrived. He stood outside the window and said respectfully,

"Master, Lu Ying has arrived. May I know what master wishes to do?"

Seeing that he didn't directly enter the room, Zheng Kai thought that he did care about his own life, so Zheng Kai said to him:

"Why don't you come in first!"

"Yes, Master."

"Yes." Lu Ying replied. Zheng Kai saw a mass of black gas suddenly appear by the window. Then, Lu Ying walked out of the black gas and knelt in front of Zheng Kai. Zheng Kai saw that Ghost King's appearance seemed to be much better than last time. It seemed that Ghost King's inner pellet had brought him quite a lot of benefits.

Zheng Kai said to him with a smile:

"Your complexion isn't bad. You seem to have recovered quite a bit!"

"Thank you for master's concern. The Ghost King inner core you gave me has improved my cultivation by a lot. The injuries on my body have completely healed."

"Hahaha, that's good. The reason I called you here today was to get you to do something for me."

"Master, feel free to speak!"

"I want you to investigate someone for me. This is different from last time, I don't need you to do anything. I just want you to investigate his background clearly, eighteen generations of ancestors."

"Yes, master."

"This person is called Fann Zihua, he's the chairman of the Big River Corporation. Go."

Lu Ying waited for Zheng Kai to finish his sentence before turning into a black crow and disappeared into the night.

He didn't need to go to the shop these few days. Zheng Kai suddenly became relaxed and opened up the Heaven Realm Trading System. Zheng Kai wanted to see what kind of mission he would have.

Zheng Kai clicked to have a look. On the screen, it displayed that one task required two iron-skinned Dendrobians. The mission level was difficult, and the other task required a piano with Mortal Realm. The mission level was easy.

Zheng Kai looked at the two missions and felt a little puzzled. He could not help but ask Xian'Er:

"Xian'er, why do the gods in the sky need the Mortal Realm's medicinal herbs? Isn't the Heaven Realm filled with immortal qi?

Xian'er replied.

"The master of the Heaven Realm is filled with spirit energy, and it is also filled with all sorts of immortal grasses. It's just that some immortal grasses do not grow within the Immortal Realm, so these kind of ironskin Dendrobium can only grow within the Mortal Realm, moreover, in places like these that aren't polluted by the secular world.

Weren't they supposed to be isolated from the rest of the world? No wonder the quest level was so difficult.

Zheng Kai still had some questions, so he asked Xian'Er.1

"Then this mission level is an easy task. Logically speaking, clients should be able to directly purchase from my shop in the Immortal Realm. Why are you still entrusting this task here?"

"Master, it's very simple. Your current shop is not very well-known, and some immortals don't even know about it."

Xian'Er said in a gentle tone.

Ehh, he meant that Zheng Kai did not enter the eyes of those Daoist Immortals in the Heaven Realm.

"Then how can we raise the profile?"

"Master, your current shop level is only one diamond. The shops in Heaven Realm are split into five levels, and there are countless of shops in Heaven Realm. Most of them are shops of two levels or higher."

Ah, how could this be? Seeing that Zheng Kai was a little disappointed, Xian'er comforted him and said:

"Master, you don't have to be discouraged. You have your advantage too. Your advantage cannot be compared with other shops."

"What's the advantage?"

"Master, your advantage is that you can trade between Heaven Realm and Mortal Realm. This is something that other shops cannot compare with."

"That's right. It seems that I have to increase my visibility. Only by selling more items can I level up my store."

Zheng Kai figured this out and was in a good mood. He then chose the easy level mission, because he didn't even know where the Iron Dendroid was.

Therefore, Zheng Kai immediately went out and bought a piano from an instrument shop. He didn't know what the Daoist Immortals in the sky wanted the piano for, but did they want to hear Western music?

After completing the quest, the screen displayed an additional 10 trading points. Zheng Kai was very happy, and he left a message for the deity that bought the piano, asking him to take care of Zheng Kai's Heaven Realm store, and even gave him some preferential treatment.

Zheng Kai had been taking care of the shops in Heaven Realm as he waited for Lu Ying's investigation results. On the evening of the third day, Zheng Kai had just finished dealing with a deal when he heard Lu Ying's voice from outside the window.

"Master, the mission you gave me has been completed."

Zheng Kai immediately let him in and said:

"Lu Ying, what was the result?"

After Zheng Kai said this, he saw Lu Ying hand over a bag and said:

"Master, this is the information about the person you told me to investigate."

Zheng Kai looked at the package that had the thickness of a dictionary. He opened it and flipped through it. It seemed that Lu Ying did not slack off and completed his task well.

Zheng Kai told him to leave first and then sat on the bed to read the information carefully.

So the person behind Fann Zihua was his brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law, Zhao Zhi, was the director of the city's Health Bureau. That day, Fann Zihua asked his brother-in-law to send someone to seal the shop for him.

There was also evidence of Fann Zihua secretly cheating and evading taxes. Part of the information was also about Fann Zihua's brother-in-law, Zhao Zhi, who took advantage of his position to accept bribes from others, as well as some mistresses who were kept outside.

Zheng Kai looked at the detailed information and thought that things would be much easier this way.
