"Strange, strange, truly strange!"
"What's wrong?" Bai Suxiang asked.
Seeing Liu Sandao tapping the newspaper on the table, she ran over to see what the fuss was about.
"You mean Cai Rong?"
"Yes, he's quite a celebrity. Why hasn't his name appeared anywhere?"
Liu Sandao frowned slightly as he spoke.
"So many names were mentioned at the meeting. Are you absolutely sure he wasn't? Perhaps no one else mentioned him, but he was on the submitted list?"
"That's impossible. Once a name is on the list, it's declared who nominated them. Otherwise, if you nominated him and he nominated him, who would get the bonus in the end?"
"Then it's simple, we'll go investigate and find out why!"
Bai Suxiang finished speaking and immediately returned to her seat, typing furiously on the computer.
Cai Rong, native of Huaxia Country, Jiangjiu Province, Huilong City, Caisang County, currently residing in Changyu City...
This was all readily available information online.
As the founder of the Wuma Group, his name was certainly well-known to the public, yet he hadn't appeared, which was very peculiar.
Alongside this news, another piece caught Bai Suxiang's attention.
"Cai Jinqu, General Manager of Wuma Investment Co., Ltd. His father is Cai Rong. Cai Jinqu?"
Bai Suxiang couldn't help but read the name aloud. The Qilin Jade trembled slightly.
The Qilin Jade reacting meant this person was the next target.
"Did anyone nominate Cai Jinqu?"
Liu Sandao didn't answer immediately. He carefully recalled the situation at the time.
After two minutes, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that name was there."
"It seems we'll have to find someone else then!"
"No need, no need, we'll go for him!"
It was Xiao Hai's voice, still wilful and decisive.
Bai Suxiang wished she could glare at him, but he was hiding within the Qilin Jade and hadn't appeared.
Finding a target person came with a huge bonus. But now, Cai Jinqu's name was already on someone else's list. If they pursued him now, it would be a wasted effort.
"No way, no way, it'll delay our getting rich!" Bai Suxiang said deliberately in a loud voice.
"But we must go, we must go!"
It was strange, ever since Xiao Hai could speak, the two of them bickered incessantly over trivial matters.
Liu Sandao was already accustomed to it. To revive Fu Ruhai sooner, they had to meet Cai Jinqu.
Opening the Fude Handbook, Cai Jinqu's name appeared. He was a two-star individual.
Looking at Cai Rong's star rating, he was only a seven-star individual.
The bonus held little appeal for Liu Sandao, but it was quite tempting for Bai Suxiang.
Therefore, Liu Sandao could only comfort her.
"Look on the bright side. Some things are yours if they are meant to be. Don't force it too much."
As he spoke, he gently patted her shoulder.
"Alas! It seems I've missed out on another million-dollar bonus! Alright, when do we leave?" Bai Suxiang retorted.
In her opinion, this was another business trip.
"No rush. Let's rest for two days first. We'll depart in three days!" Liu Sandao said, walking out of the office.
Since viewing the mission of Soul Spirit Number Eleven, Lu Fang was summoned to arrange the next task.
If the Fu Fruit could be obtained without bloodshed, why engage in a deadly fight?
Lu Fang understood the intention behind the summons, but he hadn't decided to dispatch Soul Spirit Number Eleven again.
Because after completing a mission, it needed to rest and recuperate in the taming tray to fully unleash its greater potential.
This time, the mission was assigned to Soul Spirit Number Twelve, targeting Changyu City.
Number Twelve was also female, and the reason men weren't assigned these missions was because, at this stage, it was about achieving the most benefit with the least effort.
As for battlefield combat, that day would surely come, perhaps not long from now.
Soul Spirit Number Twelve arrived in Changyu City and drifted aimlessly through the streets. It had a mission and needed to complete it through a physical body.
Having been female before, and a powerful one at that, it understood the advantages of being a woman.
At this moment, a woman appeared in its field of vision.
She appeared to be in her early forties. Although her clothes looked ordinary, she had a good figure.
With every smile and gesture, her eyes conveyed emotion, the kind of charm that captured men.
It couldn't understand why such a person would end up in this state: alone, wandering the streets late at night, carrying a small backpack and pushing a suitcase through the streets of Changyu City.
Twelve wasn't a fortune teller and had no interest in her past. What mattered most was her future.
If she could help it complete the mission, that was enough.
At this time, Changyu City was brightly lit.
Pedestrians on the street hurried along, paying no attention to this outsider.
Having just arrived in Changyu City, she hadn't found a place to stay. She had inquired at several inns, but they were small and expensive.
To save money, she decided to walk a little further, hoping that accommodation prices would be cheaper in areas further from the city center.
As she reached an intersection, she saw a black car parked on the roadside.
Then she noticed the front wheel had rolled into the flowerbed beside the road.
It must have been an accident, otherwise, who would drive like this?
She wasn't one to pry, but as she passed the small car, she saw someone slumped over the steering wheel.
Fortunately, the airbag had cushioned him.
Life was at stake, she couldn't think much beyond it and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, sir, are you alright?"
Perhaps he heard someone calling, or perhaps the pain made him conscious.
"I'm alright, alright, but I'm pinned and can't get out!"
Hearing that he couldn't get out, she instinctively tried to pull the car door, thinking that if she opened it, he could get out.
"Click, click!"
The car door handle made two sounds, but there was no sign of it opening.
Since the driver's side window was open, there was no danger of suffocation. Seeing that she wasn't strong enough to open it, the driver asked:
"Do you have a phone? Can you call someone for me?"
"Yes! Okay! Tell me!" she said.
Changyu City was different from other places. For certain reasons, the phone numbers were different from other provinces and cities.
She was new here, and everything was unfamiliar, so she could only do as he instructed.
"19119!"
This was a rescue number.
As soon as it connected, a calm and collected voice asked for the location, number of people, physical condition, consciousness, and so on.
With his assistance, she answered each question in detail.
After the rescue arrived, there was another flurry of activity, and she found herself inexplicably at the hospital.
In reality, she had no relation to him.
But the medical staff assumed they were together and brought her to the hospital as well.
