Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

"Over the years, I have been dealing with some improper forces." Bang Geng's voice was filled with pain. "I know it's wrong to do this, but for the livelihood of my family, I have to do this. I also know that such behavior will only drag the family into deeper trouble."

Xu Mingjie felt a strong shock in his heart. He didn't expect Banggeng to be involved in such a matter. This was not just a family matter, but involved a bigger conspiracy and risk. Many questions flashed through his mind, but it was difficult to ask them one by one. He needed time to digest this information and also time to think about the next countermeasures.

"Bang Geng, now that you've said this, we must take action." Xu Mingjie's voice was filled with firm determination. "We must find out all the truth and find a real solution for this family."

Xu Mingjie had a cunning idea in his mind. He knew that since Bang Geng had revealed part of his true face, he could cleverly use this to further reveal the truth. He was not in a hurry to fully reveal his purpose, but decided to gradually obtain more information in a more obscure and effective way.

"Bang Geng, since you said these things involve improper forces, I want to know if you have any specific evidence or clues?" Xu Mingjie tried to make his tone more concerned rather than interrogative. "Can these evidence or clues help us better solve the current dilemma?"

Bang Geng's face was a little hesitant, and his eyes revealed a hint of mixed emotions. Obviously, he was not completely confident about the matter he was involved in, especially when facing Xu Mingjie's slightly scrutinizing questioning.

"I... I have some documents in my hand, but they are not very complete." Banggeng's voice revealed a bit of uneasiness, "Also, the contents of these documents are quite sensitive, I'm afraid they can't be taken out casually."

Xu Mingjie's heart moved. It was obvious that Banggeng had begun to feel some degree of pressure. He decided to continue to exert some psychological hints to guide Banggeng to reveal more information. "I understand that you are worried about the security of these documents, but since things have developed to this point, we must take some action. You can show me the documents, and we will study them together and find a solution."

Bang Geng's eyes flashed with hesitation, and his hand involuntarily touched the clothes on his chest, as if he was thinking about how to answer. "These documents may reveal a lot of things that should not be known. If they are discovered by the wrong people, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xu Mingjie saw Banggeng's inner struggle and decided to add a little psychological "pressure". "I understand your concerns, but our current situation is very urgent. If we don't solve the problem as soon as possible, it may cause greater harm to the entire family. The trust between you and me is the basis for solving these problems."

Bang Geng's eyes showed some uneasiness, but he finally nodded. "Okay, I'll take out the files, but you have to promise me that you won't leak them to others."

Xu Mingjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had successfully let Banggeng down. He watched Banggeng walk to a hidden bookshelf and take out a small wooden box. The appearance of the wooden box was not conspicuous, but Xu Mingjie knew that it might contain key information.

Banggeng placed the wooden box on the table and opened the lid. Inside were several documents neatly placed. The edges of the documents had turned yellow, obviously having been stored for quite some time. Xu Mingjie carefully flipped through the documents, his eyes moving back and forth across the handwriting on them.

Among these documents, several were about the family's financial records, and some were contracts for transactions. Xu Mingjie couldn't help but feel a little excited. These documents seemed to contain a lot of valuable information. Although the contents of the documents were still not completely clear, through careful study, he could gradually piece together more clues.

"These documents are indeed very important. We need to study each record carefully." Xu Mingjie said seriously, "If we can find key information from them, then we will have a better chance of solving the problem."

Bang Geng's expression relaxed a little, and his eyes showed some fatigue and relief. "I hope these documents can help us find a real solution. I really don't want this matter to get worse."

Xu Mingjie nodded and continued to flip through the files. His mind wandered through the records, trying to find a possible breakthrough. As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn. Various possible plots kept flashing in Xu Mingjie's mind, and he had to find the most effective way to solve these mysteries as soon as possible.

Suddenly, he noticed a few unfamiliar names written on the corner of a document. These names were somewhat similar to the names he had seen in the account book before. A trace of doubt suddenly arose in his heart. Could these names represent important people related to family affairs?

"Bang Geng, do you have any memory of the names mentioned in these documents?" Xu Mingjie's voice was full of inquiry, "Are these names related to the previous transactions?"

Bang Geng's expression became nervous again. He stroked the document with his fingers, as if thinking about something. "These names are indeed unfamiliar. I remember that there were some transactions involving these names before, but I don't know the details."

Xu Mingjie's heart moved slightly. Although this answer did not completely meet his needs, it also gave him some clues. He knew that these names might be related to the complex relationships within the family, and further investigation was needed to draw a definite conclusion.

"Okay, let's put these names aside for now." Xu Mingjie decided not to ask any more questions and continued to look through other files. "We need to sort out all the information in the files first and find the most critical clues."

Banggeng nodded, obviously agreeing with Xu Mingjie's arrangement. His expression showed a bit of fatigue, but also a kind of expectation, as if he hoped that this cooperation could bring some practical results.

As time went by, Xu Mingjie and Banggeng continued to look through the documents in the room. As the night went on and the wind outside gradually died down, the only sounds left in the room were the turning of pages and the sound of notes. Xu Mingjie's mind was full of thoughts, and he knew that the key to solving this mystery was how to piece together these scattered pieces of information.
