Shi Sheng was woken up in the middle of the night. The main house and the outside were all brightly lit.
Shi Sheng put on a jacket and went downstairs, just in time to see the chef being taken away.
"What's going on?" Shi Sheng poked the servant who was watching the drama from the second floor.
"Madam." The servant immediately bowed, looking a little frightened. "Miss An has been poisoned."
The servants in the main house were all afraid of Shi Sheng. After all, seeing her walking around with a sword would leave a psychological scar.
"Poisoned?"
Shi Sheng didn't know what had happened until the next day.
Shi Sheng was the only one who could cook in the main house. The other places were for the servants.
So Ying Su's meals were all sent from here.
While Shi Sheng was eating, Ying Su's servants came over to get her food. Back then, the chef had placed Shi Sheng's bowl of poisoned boiled meat slices together with Ying Su's food. The chef had been scared out of his wits, so how could he remember this? By the time he did, Ying Su's poison had already taken effect.
Shi Sheng silently mourned for Ying Su.
What an unlucky female lead.
While Leng Yan was in the hospital with the female lead, Shi Sheng searched some places in the main house.
Shi Sheng didn't find anything strange. After all, the male lead might have already searched this place many times.
Leng Yao Tian was a smart man. When he was alive, he didn't like Leng Yan very much. So, he must have prepared for both sides.
Even if there was a clue, it wouldn't be in the main house.
Shi Sheng checked Leng Yao Tian's real estate. But because he was dead, all the real estate was under Leng Yan's name.
He had to use his brain. So annoying!
Real estate …
Green Dragon Clan …
Liquid funds …
Yes, he could check Leng Yao Tian's personal liquid funds.
Leng Yao Tian's personal account had been deleted, but Shi Sheng could still find traces of it.
It was actually very difficult for her to pick out what she wanted from the dense information.
Shi Sheng spent some time to find out the movements of Leng Yao Tian's liquid funds in the past two years.
Most of them were useless. If it wasn't for a mistress, it was for money sent to his subordinates.
Shi Sheng followed the information one by one until he was dizzy. Finally, he found a strange account.
It was strange because the owner's name was strange.
Li Cuihua.
The names of the accounts that Leng Yao Tian sent the money to weren't big names, but they didn't look like the names of people from the countryside.
This account's transfers were made at the beginning of every month. The last transfer was made three months before Leng Yao Tian's death. The amount was as high as ten million, and it was made in five separate transfers of two million each.
After that, there was no more exchange of funds.
Shi Sheng looked at Li Cuihua's ID from the backstage. She was a 45-year-old female villager called Huangshan Village.
Other than this information, nothing else could be found.
How many people in the country were named Li Cui Hua?
She wouldn't be able to finish investigating even if she died.
So what was the relationship between this person and Leng Yao Tian? What did it have to do with her side mission?
He had a headache and didn't want to use his brain.
Shi Sheng threw the computer away and lay on the bed. After a while, she sat up. She was a professional gamer with integrity. She had to work hard to complete the mission.
Shi Sheng decided to visit Huangshan Village.
At night, Shi Sheng sneaked out of the mansion in the dark and rushed to Huangshan Village.
Huangshan Village was very remote. Shi Sheng had to take a train after taking a plane, then a bus after the train, and finally walk into the mountains.
There were mountains nearby. Along the way, he saw some villages, but they all looked very poor.
By the time Shi Sheng arrived at Huang Shan Village, the sky was already dark. The houses that were located deep in the mountains were lit up with lights.
Shi Sheng knocked on the door of a house.
The villagers inside were eating. When they saw a young girl, they were a little surprised. They spoke in a dialect that Shi Sheng couldn't understand.
Shi Sheng was confused.
Can you speak in Mandarin? Speak in your native dialect. Okay.
The villagers could tell that Shi Sheng couldn't understand them. After a while, a child ran out.
The child soon came back with a person. It was a young girl with dark skin. She looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old. She had two braids and was dressed similarly to the villagers.
"Hello." The young girl spoke in fluent Mandarin. Shi Sheng finally felt that he wasn't in a savage tribe.
"Hello."
The little girl smiled shyly, "My name is Xu Shan Shan. You can just call me Shan Shan. May I ask if you're lost in our village or is there something you need?"
Although Xu Shan Shan was a little dark, she was still quite cute.
"Oh, I'm looking for someone." Shi Sheng was never immune to this kind of young girl.
Xu Shan Shan turned her head and exchanged a few words with the villagers. The villagers nodded.
"Who are you looking for? Our village is not big. Everyone knows each other. I can take you there. "Xu Shan Shan probably got permission from the villagers to ask Shi Sheng.
"Li Cui Hua." Shi Sheng took out a piece of paper with a photocopy of Li Cui Hua's ID. "That's her."
Xu Shan Shan took it and glanced at it. She probably didn't recognize it, so she passed it to the villagers next to her. It wasn't very bright outside. A group of people entered the villager's house.
Seeing the people on the paper, the villagers chattered for a long time. Most of them looked angry. Xu Shan Shan translated for Shi Sheng, "They said that Li Cui Hua has been dead for a few years. She was the only daughter in her family. Her mother and father passed away not long after her. The villagers worked together to bury them."
The villagers said a lot more, but Xu Shan Shan didn't translate. It probably wasn't anything good.
This was deep in the mountains. Basically, a census was needed to update the information. Li Cui Hua was dead. Her family didn't apply to the town, so her ID was still valid.
So someone else used Li Cui Hua's ID to open an account.
"Thank you."
Li Cui Hua didn't have a good reputation in the village. They heard that she worked as a prostitute outside. The villagers didn't like her.
After Shi Sheng gave her thanks, she prepared to leave when the little girl suddenly tugged at her. She still had that bashful smile on her face as she spoke, "It's getting late. Jiejie, it's not safe for you to leave now. Why don't you rest in the village for a night before leaving?"
[Side Quest: Take Xu Shan Shan away from here and raise her. Accepted by default.]
Shi Sheng, "…" System, what's wrong with you?
What kind of quest is this?
[…] There's nothing wrong with me!
Shi Sheng looked at Xu Shan Shan's expectant and embarrassed expression. He shook his head slightly, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"It's no trouble at all." Xu Shan Shan smiled brightly, showing her two small canine teeth.
Shi Sheng followed Xu Shan Shan home. Her family's condition wasn't bad. It was a small two-story house, but Shi Sheng didn't see anyone in her house.
"Where's your mom and dad?" Shi Sheng wanted to spend money to buy a child, but he didn't see the seller.
"My mom and dad passed away. I live alone." Xu Shan Shan was a little sad when she said this, but she quickly gathered her emotions.
Xu Shan Shan was probably afraid that the stool would dirty Shi Sheng's clothes. She carefully wiped it a few times before letting Shi Sheng sit, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll cook for you."

Little Fairy: It's illegal to buy a child.
Shi Sheng: I'll rob you.
Little Fairy: It's illegal too.
Shi Sheng: (draws sword)
