The two female employees walked in while chatting.

"I don't know where so much money has to be calculated. These days, I have been working overtime every day. Is Mr. Cheng mobilizing such a large amount of cash recently to buy which company?" The young woman asked casually.

The older woman pondered: "I don't know, it's not our responsibility anyway. We just have to do our job well."

"Oh, I work overtime every day, so I don't have time to find a partner." The young woman said jokingly while putting the materials on the desk in the middle of the room.

The older woman laughed and said, "You can also find him in the company. Don't you think the new guy who came recently is pretty good?"

The young woman's face flushed suddenly, and her coherent speech suddenly began to stutter, obviously speaking wrongly: "Yeah, it's not too bad."

The older woman naturally saw through her mind at a glance, and continued to tease her. The two of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice that there was a third person breathing in this empty room.

After they put away the materials, they closed the door and left talking and laughing.

And after they left, Meng Xing was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Out of caution, he stood by the shutter again, looked out, and watched the two people get on the elevator and go downstairs, and then he completely relaxed.

He didn't want to stay here for a long time, since he had confirmed that there was no danger, he wanted to leave directly.But the ferret who was urging him to leave just now suddenly jumped off his shoulders, and after a few jumps, he jumped onto the desk where the materials just delivered were placed.

It stood on the table, turned on the desk lamp, flipped through the materials with its paws, and looked at them page by page.

Although Meng Xing didn't understand Ferret's behavior, he also knew that Wen Rulan had a reason for doing so, so he didn't rush him.

He turned to observe the room he was in. He had been worried about being discovered just now, so he didn't have time to think about whose room it belonged to. But at this moment, Meng Xing suddenly realized that the twenty-ninth floor was not the floor where Cheng Peng's office was located. Count?

So, this room is Cheng Peng's office?

Meng Xing opened the door and took a look, and confirmed that the sign on the door was indeed the president's office.

In other words, that stack of materials was given to Cheng Peng?Reminiscent of the conversation between the two female employees just now, Cheng Peng recently mobilized a large amount of funds, what is he going to do?

Meng Xing realized that this was probably a very key clue, which might be related to Cheng Peng's next sneak attack method, so he also walked to the desk and stood behind the ferret to look at the information together.

He tried to see something from this series of complex table numbers, but he gave up after trying for a while. He really has no experience in handling this kind of documents. Looking at these numbers, he felt dizzy and didn't understand anything at all. .

On the contrary, Wen Rulan read it seriously, and the reading speed was not slow. Meng Xing had just read a third of a page, and the ferret's little paw had already turned the page.

After all, he is the president, so the professional matters have to be left to the professional.

Meng Xing paddled the water with peace of mind, he didn't bother to look at the materials, he just fiddled with Cheng Peng's ornaments on the desk.

He touched the jade carving's butt, played with Cheng Peng's seal, and even put Cheng Peng's valuable custom-made pen on his finger and turned it around.

Meng Xing's ten fingers are very long and flexible, and the pen rotates like a fluttering butterfly at his fingertips, light and nimble.It's just that the old driver also made mistakes, and the pen accidentally dropped from his fingertips.

Fortunately, there was a carpet under the desk, so the pen made no sound when it fell to the floor. Meng Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to play around anymore. He bent down to pick up the pen and wanted to put it back as it was.

But when he bent down to pick up the pen, he did not raise his waist after picking it up. Instead, he lay on the ground and looked under the table again.

He seemed to see some kind of metal reflection. It was not big, only the size of a button. Meng Xing reached out and picked it up from under the table.

He looked at it by the light of the lamp and recognized it as a gold brooch.

This brooch is in the shape of a palm leaf and is heavy. It should be made of gold. Logically speaking, no one would have the heart to let such a valuable thing fall into the cracks of the table.

But for a man of Cheng Peng's level, this amount of gold probably wasn't worth his care. It probably fell into the crack of the table accidentally, and the wealthy owner was too lazy to look for it, so he just let the brooch lie here.

This is a reasonable guess, the owner of this brooch doesn't care anymore, let alone Meng Xing.

But Meng Xing couldn't help but stare at the brooch again and again, because he vaguely felt that the brooch looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Where the hell is it...

The sound of footsteps going back and forth interrupted Meng Xing's thoughts, as well as the ferret's movements of flipping through the documents.

Meng Xing immediately put the brooch and pen back to their original positions. The ferret also turned off the desk lamp, closed the document, and returned to the original appearance. Then, he jumped onto Meng Xing's shoulder, and one man and one ferret catted in the corner together.

The door was opened again, but it was not the two people before, but a male employee. The male employee brought another dozen materials and put them on the desk. After putting them away, he closed the door and left.

He left or left, but Meng Xing didn't dare to stay any longer, who knows if someone will come to deliver documents again, he can't stay here for long.

He and the ferret exchanged glances, and the ferret nodded. He had already seen almost all the things he wanted to see in those documents, and he could go.

Meng Xing took the ferret and left Cheng Peng's office. He went down the stairs. There was no accident this time, and he went downstairs smoothly and left the building.

When I got home, it was already three in the middle of the night.

Wen Rulan didn't sleep, she was waiting for Meng Xing.When Meng Xing and the ferret were together, they couldn't communicate intuitively. Now that they were home, the two could finally communicate about what happened tonight.

"Those documents only show that Cheng Peng is indeed mobilizing a large amount of funds, but what they are used for is not indicated in the documents." Wen Rulan first talked about the stack of documents he was looking through.

He couldn't help frowning when he spoke, he was very concerned about Cheng Peng's change.

Because of this timing, before the duel on August 8th, there shouldn't be anything more important than preparing for the duel, but Cheng Peng was busy mobilizing funds, so there was something wrong with it.

Meng Xing also agrees with Wen Rulan's point of view, he also thinks so.However, he couldn't give an answer to Wen Rulan's doubts.

"I will send someone to check the movement of this fund." Wen Rulan suggested.

That's all there is to it, Meng Xing nodded.

After Wen Rulan's discovery was finished, Meng Xing turned to talk about his own. The more he thought about it, the more familiar the brooch seemed to him. He felt that he had seen it not long ago, but he couldn't remember it.

It is easier for two people to think than one, so Meng Xing told Wen Rulan about the brooch he found under the table.The ferret was looking at the document at the time, but didn't see what the brooch looked like. Meng Xing roughly described the shape of the brooch.

"It's in the shape of a palm leaf. The green leaves should be emerald, and the branches are made of gold. It doesn't feel cheap."

"Palm leaves..." Wen Rulan frowned again. He was silent for a while, then suddenly turned on his mobile phone, swipe the screen with his fingers, and after a while, he turned the screen to Meng Xing and asked, "Is this it?"

Meng Xing looked at the picture on his phone, it was exactly the same as the brooch he picked up under the table, he nodded quickly: "This is it!"

Wen Rulan's brows furrowed even more tightly. He obviously knew where this thing came from. But he did not explain it to Meng Xing immediately because he thought of something deeper based on this clue and fell into deep thought.

Meng Xing waited for a moment and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is this brooch?"

Wen Rulan then remembered that Meng Xing didn't know it yet, so he explained: "The palm leaf is the symbol of the Upper House, and the palm leaf brooch is one of the status symbols representing the members of the Upper House."

"The symbol of the upper council..." Meng Xing pondered for a while, the members of the upper council were the heads of several great spiritual families, Cheng Peng was obviously not.

However, in Cheng Peng's office, there was a brooch that only members of the upper council could have. This meant that someone in the upper council, which presided over the duel fairly, secretly stood in line.

In this case, there is an explanation for how Cheng Peng got the mental interference device, and how he got such a big reputation to get so many new bionic robots. Before the S-level psychics officially took over, the upper council was the actual power holder of the psychics. Each member of the upper council had a lot of power, and was backed by a wealthy family, so he was fully capable of doing so. The strength of it all.

As for who exactly...

"There are currently five members of the Upper Council, representing the five strongest spiritual families at present. Chairman Jian Wenhong has always been fair, and he has never been biased even towards his own juniors, so he has always been very popular. The remaining six members, The heads of the Jin family and the Xu family are both elderly, twenty years older than Jian Wenhong. Although they are still employed, they are basically indifferent."

"The rest are the Gu family and the Yan family. The Gu family is considered to be the weakest of the five families. They originally had a lot of savings, but these generations of descendants are not very successful, and they have fallen down from generation to generation. The current head of the Gu family has a very different personality. Relatively moderate, has always been a peacemaker. As for the Yan family..."

Wen Rulan paused when she mentioned the last name: "Yan Desheng, the head of the Yan family, has a grudge against me."

Meng Xing raised his eyebrows, motioning for Wen Rulan to explain in detail.

"I injured Yan Desheng's son." Wen Rulan said vaguely.

But Meng Xing vaguely realized something from this ambiguity, and he asked: "What level of injury?"

Wen Rulan was a little hesitant. He really didn't want Meng Xing to know what he had done, but he had to say it now, so he had to confess: "...I killed his son's soul beast."

There was once an A-level psychic who made rude remarks to Wen Rulan several times, and was later directly beaten to an E-level by Wen Rulan, who was Yan Desheng's unlucky son.

The ferret also became famous due to this battle, and people no longer dare to underestimate its seemingly weak and harmless appearance.

Meng Xing roughly knew the consequences of the killing of the soul beast. The level of spiritual power plummeted, and for a spiritual power user, it was no different from being disabled.

He couldn't help but glance at the ferret. It's true that ferrets can't be judged by their appearance. Ferrets in relationships have done this kind of thing.

The ferret looked a little nervous. It shook its ears, hunched its body, and tried its best to put on a cute and harmless appearance.

Meng Xing didn't look at it for too long, so he brought his attention back to the main thing: "So, Yan Desheng is the most likely to violate the rules and stand by Cheng Peng's side?"

"On the surface, yes." Wen Rulan gave this answer.

"On the surface? Don't you think it should be him?" Meng Xing asked again.

Wen Rulan did not confirm, only considered it carefully and said: "Yan Desheng has a personality similar to that of Cheng Peng. He is straight-tempered. He hates me. He has conditions and motives, but he does not have the caution and carefulness that has not been exposed so far."

This is a very subjective judgment. What if Yan Desheng deliberately tempered his temper in order to avenge his son?

So Wen Rulan was not sure. What he said was just his own idea and for reference only.

After he finished speaking, he fell into deep thought again, analyzing other possibilities.Meng Xing was also helping with the analysis, but he couldn't help but yawned while analyzing.

Wen Rulan glanced at the time, it was four o'clock, and it would be dawn soon, so he said to Meng Xing: "Go back to sleep, Yan Desheng, I will also send someone to check."

Meng Xing nodded and did not refuse. After all, he couldn't think of anything just sitting there and thinking, and he needed evidence to support his guess.

He stood up and stretched, and said to Wen Rulan: "Go to bed early too, good night."

The ferret hung on his body, as if it had become a pendant that couldn't be shaken off, but Meng Xing was too sleepy, and didn't have time to care about this ferret that didn't look good.

He carried the pendant back to his room, while Wen Rulan looked at Meng Xing's back. When Meng Xing said "good night" to him, he was stunned again.

By the time he realized it, Meng Xing had already gone upstairs, and he couldn't hear him for a long time, but he still said softly: "Good night."

During the day on the 5th, Meng Xing was trying to catch up on sleep.

He didn't wake up until night, Wen Rulan slept later than him, and woke up earlier than him, which made Meng Xing feel ashamed.

But getting up early is of no use. The people sent by Wen Rulan didn't get any useful information today, and the investigation made no progress.And there was no news from Cheng Peng. Cheng Peng didn't seem to use the training room, so he didn't open the gift that Meng Xing gave him.

Another day later, on August 8th, Wen Rulan's training room was repaired, and Wen Rulan took Meng Xing to the company.

As before, he sat behind his desk and reviewed official documents, while Meng Xing moved around casually. Meng Xing was no longer lying on the sofa. He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the surroundings in the top-floor office, looking at the Pengcheng Building a street away.

The building is busy and quiet. Busy means that you can see employees coming in and out of the building, busy handing over work to customers. Quiet means that there is no movement as Meng Xing wants, but it is not really quiet.

"It's been more than a day, why hasn't Cheng Peng opened the gift..." Meng Xing couldn't help complaining.

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud noise that could be heard across the street.

With a "bang", the glass on the top floor of the Pengcheng Building was shattered, and a fire ignited in it.

What followed was the continuous exclamation of pedestrians on the street and the sound of sirens whining from a distance when they received an alarm for help.
