"Zixi," Yan Yincheng called out, his tone a bit stern.
"I know that with your skills, you can indeed move freely within the Zhao Group's internal network. But it's an entertainment venue, a place full of filth. Not every corner has cameras. There will always be places you can't monitor. What will you do then? Go and investigate yourself? Or ask Fang Ruiyang to step in again?
"Isn't this also a kind of danger? Sending trustworthy reporters to conduct an undercover investigation is the most direct and least costly strategy I can think of."
While Xu Zixi was silent, Yan Yincheng held her hand and said, "I know you want to get involved, but I'm more familiar with the rules here. I'm more suitable to take the lead. Let me need you instead of you needing me, okay?"
She was no longer the lone "Jing" she used to be. This was his world. Although he didn't have her hacking skills, he had powerful connections, like A Qiang, Alex, and Wei Shu. He also had the most advanced technological equipment, like the skin - shaped tracker and the "mung bean" with a recording function.
He was indeed more suitable for all this.
Feeling the burden on her shoulders lighten, Xu Zixi tightened her grip on his hand and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Then Yan Yincheng said to Li Mao, "What that Zhao guy has done is not just abducting innocent girls. He's also involved in illegally seizing others' assets, using private hospitals to charge exorbitant fees and amass wealth, and he even has human lives on his hands... If we want to expose his crimes, we can't do it without the help of the media. However, his influence has spread across Haicheng. So, you're the key to all this."
Li Mao clenched his fists and said, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Yan. I'm the most suitable person to expose all this! No matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to do it this time!"
However...
He looked at his wife beside him and said, "Honey, you'd better take Xinxin back to Hangzhou tomorrow. I'll be more at ease that way."
But Liu Meixiang shook her head. "I'll stay here with the child, waiting for you and news about Du Li."
After accepting Yan Yincheng's arrangement, Xu Zixi couldn't help but want to do more. She volunteered, "Don't worry. I'll take good care of your wife and child. Later, when you've collected enough evidence and are going to expose it on the Internet, I'll also help you hide your IP so that no one can trace your real address."
Li Mao naturally trusted her. He immediately grinned and said, "Great! Thank you so much, Miss Xu. To be honest, I don't want to be separated from them for too long. It would be best if we could all stay in Haicheng together."
Then he looked at his wife again. "Honey, do you still have Du Li's photos? Can I have a look? After I enter that nightclub, I'll help you look for her there."
"Yes, wait a minute." Liu Meixiang took out her phone, opened the photo album, and sent him a group photo of her and Du Li.
After carefully looking at the girl's appearance in the photo, Li Mao said, "Okay, I'll definitely keep an eye out! Of course, if she's not there, that would be the best. If she is, then I'll expose that Zhao guy's crimes and rescue all the girls there!"
Liu Meixiang's eyes welled up with tears. "I believe you can do it."
After the adults finished discussing business, Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng were about to go out. They were going to the hospital to have the plaster removed, and there was a big show waiting for them there.
As a reporter, Li Mao learned about their plan and volunteered to go with them, saying that he might be able to help.
As for Liu Meixiang, she naturally stayed in the villa with the child as a guest. There would be a special banquet in the villa tonight!
While the adults were discussing business in the study, in the living room, the two kids were playing with their new friend, Li Xinxin.
Li Xinxin was half a year younger than the two kids, but she had already started kindergarten and learned a lot there, so there was no problem communicating with the two kids.
It was just that the two kids had never played with such a young sister before. They were very enthusiastic, but...
"Sister, can you build Lego? We can build Lego together!"
Xu Xu said excitedly, holding an unopened Lego set.
Li Xinxin blinked. "Sure."
Xu Xu quickly opened the package and poured all the Lego pieces in front of Li Xinxin.
Li Xinxin was stunned looking at so many strange - shaped and colorful Lego pieces.
Xu Xu enthusiastically moved closer to her. "Sister, I'll teach you! First, do this... Then do this..."
A moment later...
"Sister, you built it wrong! It's not like this!"
"Sister, you're wrong again!"
"You're so clumsy! I don't want to play with you anymore!" Xu Xu said angrily.
Being called clumsy by such a good - looking little brother, Li Xinxin's mouth drooped, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
"I... I'm not clumsy..."
Xuan Xuan couldn't stand it anymore. He said to Xu Xu, "Little brother, you can't bully your sister. The little horse never bullies other little animals. Only then can he have friends."
Then he said to Li Xinxin, "Sister, how about we play the game you like? What game do you like?"
Li Xinxin stopped crying, and there was a glimmer in her eyes. She took out a doll from her little bag and said to the two kids, "Brothers, let's play house - playing!"
Xu Xu: "..."
Xuan Xuan: "..."
Xuan Xuan smiled. "Sister, let's play with toy cars. We have really fun toy cars."
Li Xinxin put down the doll disappointedly. "Okay..."
A moment later...
With a thud, the radio - controlled toy car crashed into the wall and flipped over because of Li Xinxin's improper operation. The parts scattered all over the floor.
Xu Xu sat down on the ground and started crying. "My toy car! Waaah, the toy car Aunty Zhenzhen gave me! You broke it!"
Li Xinxin panicked. When he cried, she also started crying.
"Waaah, I didn't mean to. I don't know how to play with this..."
When Xu Zixi, Yan Yincheng and the others left the VIP room, they heard the kids crying.
The four of them looked at each other and quickly quickened their pace.
In the living room, Aunt Zhang looked helpless. She wanted to comfort them, but the broken toy was a gift from someone else, and she didn't know how to comfort Xu Xu. And Li Xinxin was a guest, a little girl, and she didn't break it on purpose, so she couldn't scold her.
How troublesome!
"What's going on?" Xu Zixi walked over and asked.
Hearing her voice, Xu Xu quickly got up and threw himself into her arms to complain. "Mommy, Li Xinxin broke the toy car Aunty Zhenzhen gave me!"
