Chapter 172 Longevity Gu
An hour later, Qin Yuyang appeared at the Special Investigations Department.
"President Qin, you've arrived. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Qinghuai greeted him warmly, "I'm sorry to trouble you again this time."
Qin Yuyang snorted coldly: "Are you all so incompetent at solving cases that you need my daughter's help?"
"Isn't it because the case has run into problems? Mainly because this matter concerns the young master's grandfather," Qinghuai explained helplessly.
He was already drenched in sweat.
"Grandpa?" Qin Yuyang looked at him with a suspicious gaze.
Qin Yuhai stepped forward and said, "It's Master Liu who adopted Xiao Jiu, not our father."
"Ah."
When Xiao Jiu Jiu saw Qin Yu Yang, her eyes lit up: "Dad, you're here."
A mobile energy depot has arrived! We're saved!
"Hmm." Qin Yuyang's expression improved slightly upon seeing Xiao Jiujiu.
Xiao Jiu Jiu led him to a room.
At this moment, Gao Yi's hands and feet were bound.
Qin Yuyang frowned: "What's going on?"
“His mind isn’t working properly, so we have to find clues in other ways.” Xiao Jiu Jiu shrugged and urged Qin Yu Yang to sit down.
Seeing Gao Yi timidly squatting on the table, Qin Yuyang raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by 'not smart'?"
"Literally, he can't remember anything; he's gone mad," Qin Yuhai explained from the side.
Xiao Jiujiu waved her hand: "Alright, you all get ready, I'm going to start."
Upon hearing this, Qinghuai quickly closed the door.
Qin Yuyang asked, "Do you need my help?"
"You can stay here." Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled at him and walked up to Gao Yi.
Xiao Jiujiu was barely taller than the table, and Gao Yi, who was on the table, kept asking, "Can you get down?"
She looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Gao Yi, her head tilted back, looking adorable.
Gao Yi paused, opened his eyes, looked down at Xiao Jiu Jiu, and said with a hint of fear in his eyes: "You, you go away!"
He closed his eyes, unable to bear looking any longer.
"Little ancestor!" Qinghuai was about to come up and help.
Raising a hand, Xiao Jiujiu said calmly, "Don't come any closer. I know what to do."
She glanced at it, dragged a stool to the table, and climbed onto the stool.
Standing up, Xiao Jiujiu looked down at Gao Yi and said, "Give me your hand."
Gao Yi stared blankly at Xiao Jiu Jiu like a child, refusing to reach out his hand.
"Xiao Jiu, be careful," Qin Yuhai reminded him from the side.
Xiao Jiujiu looked at Gao Yi in front of her and said, "It's okay, I'll handle it."
"Give me your hand."
Gao Yi glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu, then covered his head and said, "Go away, go away!"
He reached out and pushed Xiao Jiujiu.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu dodged Gao Yi's hand and climbed onto the table.
Fortunately, the table was a huge conference table.
Xiao Jiu Jiu crawled to the side, took out a talisman, and stuck it on Gao Yi's back.
"Hey, my little darling, I just took one talisman off, why are you sticking another one on?"
Qinghuai took out the talisman from earlier: "This can still be used! Don't waste the talisman!"
He felt particularly sorry for the talisman paper that Xiao Jiu Jiu had taken out.
These talismans would fetch a high price even if just a few were leaked out, so using them like this is really a waste.
That’s all money!
"It's just a talisman." Xiao Jiu Jiu saw that Gao Yi was lying down and not moving, so she prepared to take his hand.
But since she was lying down, she felt awkward no matter how she held hands.
Plus, she's so small, it's not easy to hold her hand.
"So annoying!" Xiao Jiu Jiu cursed at Gao Yi before saying, "You guys help me!"
Qinghuai, who was now Xiaojiujiu's number one lackey, quickly stepped forward: "Little ancestor, how can I help you?"
"Could you help me get everyone settled on the sofa? It'll be easier for me to hold hands there." Xiao Jiu Jiu pouted, looking at Gao Yi with some dissatisfaction.
This person was about to push me down.
Thinking about it, she secretly stretched out her short leg and kicked Gao Yi, who was no longer responding.
She did it quietly; surely no one noticed.
Qinghuai and Qin Yuhai helped Gao Yi sit down on the sofa.
Xiao Jiu Jiu sat in the chair opposite him and slowly took his hands in hers.
She closed her eyes, seemingly entering a certain state.
The three adults held their breath, watching Xiao Jiu Jiu with bated breath.
Xiao Jiu Jiu suddenly opened her eyes.
Her dark eyes turned golden, and her gaze became empty.
"It seems our little ancestor has entered the empathy stage. As for the outcome, we'll have to wait and see." Qinghuai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He was afraid that his little ancestor's methods would fail.
In her memory, Xiao Jiu Jiu discovered that Chen Jia and Gao Yi were childhood friends.
The two had always had a good relationship and attended the same schools.
Coincidentally, they were in the same class.
Both of them were quite poor.
However, Gao Yi's family is much better off. He has parents and lives a happy life, though it is a bit hard.
Suddenly one day, Gao Yi's father passed away, and his mother lost her job, causing the family to fall into dire straits.
Gao Yi, who was originally happy, suddenly became miserable.
He started working many jobs to earn money for his tuition.
For some reason, Chen Jia's life started to improve, and he had one girlfriend after another.
Later, his mother also fell ill, and Gao Yi, having nowhere else to turn, accepted the job of digging up graves.
In the video, Gao Yi arrives at the gravesite and meets with someone.
Xiao Jiu Jiu got a clear look at the person's face.
"call……"
Xiao Jiu Jiu's golden pupils disappeared, and her eyes turned black.
She fell to the ground.
Qin Yuyang quickly picked her up and asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Dad."
Xiao Jiujiu gave him a smirk, then looked at Qin Yuhai and the others.
Qinghuai asked, "Little Ancestor, what did you see?"
"I saw a middle-aged man."
Xiao Jiu Jiu recalled the man's appearance: "He was a square-faced man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular features, wearing a black robe."
That man told Gao Yi to dig up my grandfather's grave.
"Did they say why they dug up the grave?" Qinghuai pulled out his notebook and nervously looked at Xiaojiujiu.
Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes darted around, then she frowned and thought for a moment: "He asked Gao Yi to help him find something, but he didn't say what it was."
"This isn't right. He must be digging up the grave to get something important." Qin Yuhai immediately noticed the flaw in the story.
Qin Yuyang then asked, "Does your grandfather have anything very important on him?"
"No, Grandpa can barely afford forty yuan to buy cigarettes, let alone important things."
Xiao Jiujiu gave a soft hum.
After all, he's an old man who wanted to smoke cigarettes at the age of twenty.
Besides, how could she not know what valuable things her grandfather had!
Qinghuai frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened: "I've thought of something, I think digging up the grave might be related to this!"
"What is it?" Xiao Jiu Jiu turned her head to look at him.
Qinghuai said mysteriously, "I remember a long time ago, when your father was still a teenager."
Rumor has it that Liu Huai carries a longevity gu.
The Longevity Gu can grant eternal youth; whoever absorbs it will remain the same age at the time of consumption.
"No one can stay young forever. Using this stuff only slows down aging. What good can it do?"
Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't quite understand. She tilted her head to look at Qing Huai, then glanced at Gao Yi, who was still unconscious.
Qinghuai shook his head: "No, after a person eats the Longevity Gu, they will no longer grow old."
Immortality in another sense.
"Oh!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "So, it's very likely that they're after my grandfather's Longevity Gu."
Do all these people want to live forever?
"Who doesn't want to live forever, especially those who are rich? That's why many beauty and skincare products are based on this, isn't it?" Qinghuai said, giving examples.
Xiao Jiujiu snorted: "I see. These people really do all sorts of bad things, just to get that thing."
"But they didn't get what they wanted; they didn't find the Longevity Gu." Qinghuai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Not finding it is the best outcome.
"Then, will my description help me find the person who will get Gao Yi to do this?" Xiao Jiujiu asked Qing Huai.
Qinghuai stroked his chin: "It should be fine, but you'll need to coordinate with our portrait artist."
"Okay~"
Xiao Jiujiu nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yuhai looked at what was behind Gao Yi.
It's a talisman that Xiao Jiu Jiu pasted on.
"Can we tear it off now?" Qin Yuhai asked.
Qinghuai immediately turned to look at Xiaojiujiu: "Our little ancestor said we can pick them as soon as we can, so we can't act rashly."
"Alright, you should be able to take it off now." Xiao Jiu Jiu got up and sat on the sofa.
"Hmm." Qin Yuhai reached out and tore the talisman off Gao Yi's body.
The moment the talisman touched the ground, Gao Yi let out a piercing scream: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
He became agitated, stood up abruptly, rushed to the door, and looked back with fear in his eyes.
"Don't come any closer, ah!"
He let out a piercing scream: "Don't kill me, I was wrong..."
"That serious? Something's not right!" Qinghuai thought to himself, scratching his head in confusion.
When Gao Yi came in, everyone was perfectly fine.
My mind is clear.
There are no ghosts or monsters at all.
Why is it so terrifying now?
Xiao Jiu Jiu pursed her lips and said, "Is he under a curse? How come he's the only one who can see those things?"
Moreover, judging from his reaction, he seemed particularly terrified, which suggested he wasn't just making things up.
"To cast a curse?"
Hearing this, Qinghuai's eyes lit up: "You know what, it's actually possible!"
"As for what kind of curse it is, I don't know either. I'll send someone to investigate right now." Qinghuai took out his phone and gave the order.
A little weak, Xiao Jiu leaned against Qin Yuyang's chest and thought for a moment, "Then I'll trouble you to investigate that square-faced uncle."
"Ah."
I stayed in the Special Investigations Section until the afternoon.
Qin Yuyang also took the opportunity to visit Liu Jian.
Qinghuai said, "Liu Jian can be discharged from the hospital today, so why is no one from his family here to pick him up?"
"It's alright, I'll pick you up without any problem, right?" Qin Yuyang immediately asked with concern.
Qinghuai nodded: "Yes, then please come with me to go through the procedures. It will be quick."
"it is good!"
Before long, Qin Yuhai and Qin Yuyang took Xiao Jiu and Liu Jian, who had already woken up, back home.
"Brother, how are you feeling now?"
Qin Yuyang asked a question and placed the water glass next to Liu Jian.
With Liu Jian away these days, it's quite difficult for Qin Yuyang to find a business partner on his own.
He might even be outshone by Yang Hao.
With Liu Jian around, their collaboration would quickly crush Yang Hao's factory.
"I feel great!" Liu Jian stretched out his arm and showed it to the others.
He had a hearty smile on his face: "The wounds on my arms, neck, and other parts of my body are all gone."
"Brother, I've encountered the same thing as you." Qin Yuyang recounted the incident to Liu Jian.
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Thanks to Xiao Jiu Jiu's help, I was able to turn misfortune into good fortune."
"Yes!"
Liu Jian was in high spirits, as if he had been reborn: "Let me tell you, at that time I really felt that I was just one step away from death."
I was saved thanks to Xiao Jiu Jiu's talisman.
I was so sick of the smell of the hospital that I almost threw up, and later the smell of the Special Investigations Department was also awful.
They disinfect themselves whenever they see me.
Liu Jian was still somewhat unhappy about this.
Who on earth is doing this to him? He really wants to tear that person apart!
"Everything's fine now!"
Qin Yuyang comforted her, "Now you can go back to the company. They must miss you a lot."
He also briefly recounted what had recently happened.
Liu Jian's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "What do you mean? That Yang Hao took advantage of my illness to try and seize my Liu family's property?"
"Do you think our Liu family has no one left?"
Qin Yuyang said, "Yes, the other party even bullied my sister-in-law. Fortunately, we stood up for her and protected her."
Yang Hao thought his sister-in-law, being a woman, was easy to bully.
"I'll go back tonight and see just how capable this Yang Hao is!" Liu Jian said grimly.
In the car, Xiao Jiu Jiu suddenly said, "You shouldn't go back today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Can you tell me why, Xiao Jiu?" Liu Jian looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu eagerly.
Shaking her head, Xiao Jiujiu said, "No, I said we can't go back, so you'd better not go back either."
"Fine……"
After some internal struggle, Liu Jian decided to listen to Xiao Jiu Jiu and not go back.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then you can take me to the hotel today."
"What hotel? Just stay at my place, that's for sure!"
I had someone prepare mugwort and pomelo leaves for you to bathe in, to get rid of the musty smell.
Qin Yuyang smiled and said, "I washed it too, don't worry."
"Row!"
Liu Jian wasn't one to mince words, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
The car gradually drove into the Qin family's villa.
"By the way, brother, my daughter Xiao Jiu is having a welcome banquet the day after tomorrow. You must bring your wife."
Qin Yuyang looked at Liu Jian with a slight smile on his face.
Liu Jian nodded: "I know, don't worry, I definitely won't let you lose face!"
Qin Yuyang had also made up his mind.
He should be able to invite a few prominent figures from the capital, though not as grandly as Yang Hao's gathering.
But it's not bad either.
However, he still needed his older brother to help him save face.
If we could get the Lu family or the Ye family from across the street to come...
Qin Yuyang sighed inwardly.
Let's forget about those big families.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu Jiu happily ran back to her room and took out several cards from her drawer.
She also has people she wants to invite.
Xiao Jiujiu took out a pen and started writing on it...
