The next day, Murong Xue went to the agricultural base with the department chief.

To her surprise, the agricultural base was well-built and the vegetables were growing well. She now finally found something satisfactory.

Having checked the operation of the branch, Murong Xue decided to return. As for the problems she found, she did not ask the headquarters to allocate funds. Instead, she used her own money to help the department chief to improve the working condition in the factory. In terms of recruitment, the department chief wrote a report for Murong Xue to take back to the headquarters.

The reason why she did not ask the headquarters for money was that she suspected that people there were not clean. She decided to have an unannounced check on them.

Murong Xue had not heard from Huangfu Yi for the past fifteen days.

But she knew that he was fine as Long Yi reported to him on a daily basis.

So she did not know why he only blocked her calls.

She felt that even if he got bored and wanted to break up with her, he had the duty to tell her. However, he chose to avoid her.

Her heart twisted, but she did not care. She was confident that she was able to overcome anything now.

After coming back to A province, Murong Xue went to see the Murong Family's house first instead of the headquarters. Although her parents were not there, she wanted to take a look at their room.

"Miss!" Ms. Wu greeted her at once, whose face was wrinkled with concerns.

Murong Xue could only force a smile, "Ms. Wu, don't worry. Mother and Father will come back. Don't prepare dinner for me. I just want to stay in their room alone. Please give my friends a treat." Murong Xue pointed at Long Yi and the others and went upstairs after introducing them to each other.

She had been missing them every day and she had been staying awake at night. She worried that they might get in danger in some strange place, so she wanted to find a way to rescue them as soon as possible.

Seeing the familiar arrangement in the room, Murong Xue could feel that her eyes got wet. After a while, a drop of tear ran down her face.

The idea of rushing into the colorful hole to look for them occurred to her so many times, but she did not do it. She feared that she would lose the only opportunity to save them once she got in there.

She believed that where there was a will, there was a way.

She deemed that the Immortal Implement would hurt nobody since it was a gift of gratitude.

She called Gu Ming.

"Hello, Xue."

"Gu Ming, are you busy today? Can you wait for me after work?" Murong Xue did not want the staff to see them meeting each other at worktime or gossip, so she chose to meet him after everyone left.

"Not very busy. Should I ask Shengfei and Ziwen? But Ziwen is not in A province now."

"Oh, where is he?" Murong Xue asked curiously.

"It seems that something is up in the Mo Group. I haven't seen him for a few days." Gu Ming felt worried. Although it did not happen for the first time, Mo Ziwen had always called him and reported the progress. But Mo Ziwen did not call him this time and his line was always busy.

"Then don't need to ask Ziwen. See you in the company later."

Hanging up the phone, Murong Xue called Mo Ziwen, but it did not get through.

She only thought that Mo Ziwen was too busy to answer her call.

In the evening, Murong Xue, Long Yi, and his men arrived at the headquarters after everyone working there left for home. They went to the top of the building.

Murong Xue apologized to Gu Ming and Luo Shengfei in the office, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"They are?" Gu Ming asked.

"They are my friends." Murong Xue smiled and introduced them to each other, and then she turned to Long Yi, "Please suit yourselves. I need to deal with something now."

Long Yi and others nodded, walked to the sofa, and sat down.

"Gu Ming, I need to check the accounts, and I need your help. I want to see the budget of expansion in the rural areas." Murong Xue had a photographic memory, so she knew the funds allocated were far less than the amounts in the budget.

"Why? What's wrong?" Gu Ming asked while taking out the documents.

"I doubt that the Accounting Department cooked the books. You guys come with me. Long Yi, lend a hand." Murong Xue almost forgot the free labor.

Gu Ming could not believe what he heard, "The Accounting Department? No way."

"Nothing is impossible. I told you that guy in the Accounting Department was unreliable." Luo Shengfei’s lips curled into a sneer.

Murong Xue looked at the two, "All right, let's have a survey first to see whether it's true or not."

At the same time, Long Yi was complaining deep inside. As the General in the organization, he felt that it was a waste of his talents when asked to help. He did not allow only his talents to be wasted, so he asked the others to join him.

They started checking the accounts with the nose in the book. Thanks to her photographic memory, Murong Xue worked at the fastest speed.

After a few hours, Gu Ming sank into his chair with a face of guilt.

"What's wrong?" Murong Xue did not expect him to respond like this as she knew the corruption had nothing to do with him.

Gu Ming covered his sorrowful face with his hands and said, "Xue, I'm sorry."

Murong Xue felt confused and she turned to Luo Shengfei, who had a knowing face.

Sighing, Luo Shengfei revealed the truth, "The department chief of the Accounting Department is his cousin."

Murong Xue was caught off guard. She did not know what to say at this moment, but she knew work was work, "Gu Ming, this case is in your hands now. I won't ask anything from now on. I believe you know what to do."

Gu Ming looked up, "Xue, but he is my..."

"No matter who he is, he breaks the law and causes great losses to the company. He has to be stopped with the rightful means. I trust you, Gu Ming." Murong Xue knew that Gu Ming would understand that protecting his cousin would only harm his cousin.

Luo Shengfei agreed with Murong Xue. The department chief of the Accounting Department always behaved at will when Gu Ming was not around, so he had a problem with that guy for a long time.

At last, Murong Xue patted Gu Ming on the shoulder and left. She understood that he needed time to be ready to put his cousin in jail and he was also the best candidate to do this.

In the car, Murong Xue said to Long Yi sitting next to her, "Long Yi, thanks, all of you."

This was the first time that she had thanked him, and all his complaints disappeared at this moment. Long Yi put on a complacent face, "Nothing at all."

Murong Xue smiled, "Let's leave for the capital tomorrow." She found that she was very used to Huangfu Yi's hugs and she really missed him after such a long time.

"Tomorrow? No!" Long Yi raised his voice.

Seeing his overreaction, Murong Xue looked at him with a confused face, "Long Yi, I don’t feel you want me to go back."

"No, no, I don't." Long Yi answered with unease.

"Then you tell me why I can't go back to the capital tomorrow?"

"Well… Huh..." Long Yi looked around and stammered, failing to find an answer.

Having a terrible feeling, Murong Xue changed her face, "Did something happen to Loong Pavilion or Yii?" She felt worried that Huangfu Yi did not give her any call these days.

"No, no, nothing at all." Huangfu Yi only asked Long Yi to delay Murong Xue and make her return to the capital later, but Long Yi did not know the reason and he could not tell her, either.

Seeing his hesitation, Murong Xue paled, "Leave for the capital now! Did anything happen to Yii?" Her voice sounded broken.

Long Yi froze. If Murong Xue cried, Huangfu Yi would kick his ass, so he explained in panic, "Miss Murong, you're taking this wrong. Mr. Dragon is safe and sound. If anything had happened to him, I should not have been here. It's true. I swear..."
