My beautiful CEO wife

The message relayed back by Evil Eyes caused quite a shock to Xiao Zheng.

Finding the whereabouts of those pieces of the Wolf King’s Golden Bone is certainly a gratifying matter. However, this issue also involves the Ghost Raising Family, which makes one feel helpless.

After all, the people of the Ghost Raising Family are like fish hiding in the deep sea; it’s very difficult to track them.

"Now, there’s nothing we can do but wait."

"Let’s hope Long Qie and the others can bring us some good news."

Xiao Zheng said slowly.

Evil Eyes nodded first, then said, "Mr. Xiao, why don’t I go to Xiangnan too? Although Long Qie has already gone, there’s strength in numbers. Once I’m there, I can definitely assist him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng didn’t even think about it and directly shook his head to refuse: "No need, you stay at the base. Now that Long Qie is out, I can’t stay at the headquarters every day; someone with a clear mind must be here to hold down the fort."

"If all of you go out, wouldn’t the headquarters be in chaos?"

"Leave the investigation into the Ghost Raising Family to Long Qie alone."

Although Evil Eyes wanted to help ease Xiao Zheng’s burden, after hearing his words, he decided to follow his arrangement.

After chatting idly with Evil Eyes for another few minutes, Xiao Zheng left the headquarters.

After all, there are still matters at Qianqiu Group waiting for him to attend to, and he’s already swamped.

Meanwhile.

The investigation action by Long Qie and his team continues.

It has been three whole days since his second arrival in Xiangnan.

In these three days, he and the other eleven teams almost ran all over Xiangnan Province, yet they couldn’t find the Ghost Raising Family, not even a single ghostly shadow.

The long fruitless search left Long Qie feeling rather frustrated.

On this day, after investigating a small county under Yun Chuan City, Long Qie’s team stopped by a restaurant for a rest. While eating, none of the three spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Not only was Long Qie in low spirits, but the other two in his team also kept frowning the whole time.

"It’s twelve thirty in the afternoon, hurry and eat up."

"Once we finish lunch, we’ll head to the next county quickly."

Long Qie said to the two of them.

The two nodded, then picked up their bowls and started eating directly.

Just as they were about to finish this meal, Long Qie suddenly received a call from Zhang Xin.

Seeing the name Zhang Xin displayed, Long Qie was momentarily stunned, then excitement flashed in his eyes: "Hello, Zhang Xin? Are you calling me because you’ve found some clue about the Ghost Raising Family?"

Because of the Vigorous Energy Shield he projected, he wasn’t worried about being eavesdropped on.

Upon hearing that, a slightly excited voice soon came from the phone: "That’s right, there is indeed a clue! But this clue wasn’t found by us, it was found by you!"

"Found by me? But I haven’t found any clues on my side!" Long Qie couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Hearing his words, Zhang Xin no longer kept him guessing and said, "Mr. Long, do you remember putting a note in the Yama Temple when you first arrived in Yun Chuan?"

"Of course, I remember..." Long Qie was suddenly stunned, and then asked somewhat incredulously, "Are you saying that the fake task we put out has finally been taken by the Ghost Raising Family?"

"Yes! Today a brother called me and said he personally saw a suspicious middle-aged man walk into Yama Temple! After the man left, our brother found that the note under the stone was gone!" Zhang Xin said excitedly.

"From the looks of it, that middle-aged man must be from the Ghost Raising Family!" Long Qie felt excited inside and said, "I didn’t expect them to be so patient; that note I placed in the Yama Temple has been there for almost a month, and they only now sent someone to take it!"

"By the way, did you notify the brothers to follow him?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xin sighed wryly and said, "Our brothers are only at the level of first-rate experts, and the other party is a Great Grandmaster. They were thrown off after a few hundred meters."

"Got thrown off? Our men haven’t been exposed, right?" Long Qie asked anxiously.

"They shouldn’t have been exposed. If our men were exposed, that middle-aged man would surely choose to silence them." Zhang Xin said, "After all, it’s a rule of the Ghost Raising Family not to easily expose their whereabouts to outsiders."

Long Qie thought his reasoning made sense, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief: "As long as our men weren’t exposed. If they were, all our previous efforts would have been in vain."

"Mr. Long, what should we do next?" Zhang Xin couldn’t help but ask.

Long Qie said directly, "Wait! Wait for them to contact us first! After they take that note, whether they accept the task or not, they will definitely contact us!"

"Once they contact us, we can make our move!"

"I understand, but do the twelve teams need to stay outside?" Zhang Xin couldn’t help but ask again.

Upon hearing this, Long Qie shook his head and said, "Since there’s a clue at Yama Temple, why stay outside? We’ve spent three days outside without seeing a shadow, like finding a needle in a haystack."

"Don’t let everyone waste their efforts; immediately withdraw to the sub-base, then recuperate and await the Ghost Raising Family to contact us."

Of course, Zhang Xin wholly supported his decision.

After all, he also didn’t want to continue searching outside, not to mention failing to gather any clues, they were just wasting time.

After ending the call, Long Qie and the other three hurriedly finished their meal and chose to return quickly.

That afternoon, all twelve teams scattered around Xiangnan returned to the sub-base.

Seemingly uneasy, Long Qie personally went to the Yama Temple located in the suburbs to inspect. Only when he confirmed that the note was gone did he finally feel relieved.

After that, he contacted Xiao Zheng and shared the good news with him.

When Xiao Zheng learned that the Ghost Raising Family had taken the bait, he felt very pleased.

Then, everyone split into two locations, embarking on a long wait...
