Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Jia Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was low and steady: "I heard that you have been investigating Bang Geng in depth recently. Bang Geng has a certain influence in the family, and his style of doing things is also relatively complicated. I am worried that your investigation may alert him."

Xu Mingjie's heart tightened. He knew that what Jia Zhang said was not groundless. Bang Geng's methods were always insidious. If he noticed the trend of the investigation, he might take more drastic measures. Xu Mingjie had to make sure that his actions would not cause a bigger conflict while confronting.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I completely understand your concerns." Xu Mingjie said sincerely, "I will try my best to avoid direct conflict and conduct the investigation in a more covert way. I hope to find conclusive evidence without alerting him."

Jia Zhang's eyes flashed with approval, and she nodded, "In that case, I also hope that you can deal with it as carefully as possible. Although Bang Geng seems calm on the surface, he is actually very difficult to deal with. You need to be extra cautious when dealing with him."

Xu Mingjie nodded, but he was a little worried. Jia Zhang's words made him understand more clearly that facing an opponent like Bang Geng, a direct conflict would likely bring unforeseen consequences. He needed more flexible and clever means to effectively solve the problem and protect the interests of himself and his family.

Jia Zhang stood up and prepared to leave. "Xu Mingjie, I believe you can handle these problems. I hope we can be consistent in family affairs and face challenges together."

Xu Mingjie accompanied her to the door and watched her leave. He felt a little heavy-hearted. Jia Zhang's reminder made him realize that he had to be more cautious in the next move. He knew that in the face of complex family relationships and difficult opponents, no step could be taken lightly.

Back in the study, Xu Mingjie sat down to think again. He knew very well that what Jia Zhang said was not without reason. Bang Geng's difficulty was not only reflected in his behavior, but also in his possible influence on the family's internal affairs. Xu Mingjie needed to adopt a more clever way to deal with this complex game.

He began to review his investigation plan, trying to find a more covert and effective way. He considered whether he could collect information through some middlemen or agents while avoiding direct conflict with Banggen. He knew that such an approach might require more patience and strategy, but it was the key to ensure that he could maintain his advantage in a complex situation.

Xu Mingjie's thoughts swirled in the study, and his mood became more and more calm as he thought. Although the challenges he faced were still severe, he believed that only through meticulous planning and cautious actions could he win in this complex family game.

Xu Mingjie sat in the study for a long time, thinking about how to deal with the complicated situation that followed. Jia Zhang's reminder and his current plan kept circling in his mind. Although he had tried his best to formulate a thorough strategy, he was still full of uneasiness in his heart. The difficulty of Banggeng and Jia Zhang's concerns about his actions made Xu Mingjie feel stressed. He understood that dealing with these problems required careful and detailed strategies, not just simple confrontation.

He checked the time and found that it was almost afternoon, so he decided to go out for a walk to clear his mind. Just as he was about to go out, his cell phone rang. It was a message from Lou Xiaoe: "Xu Mingjie, I'm near your house. There may be important progress. Is it convenient for you to come out now?"

Xu Mingjie's heartbeat quickened instantly. The sense of urgency in Lou Xiao'e's tone made him feel a little anxious. He quickly replied to the message: "Okay, I'll be right out."

He hurriedly put on his coat and walked out of the house. The coolness in the air sobered him up a little, but his inner anxiety did not ease. He quickened his pace and came to the place he had agreed to meet with Lou Xiao'e - a quiet little cafe. After entering the cafe, he looked around for Lou Xiao'e and finally saw her in the corner. Lou Xiao'e was already sitting there, with a look of anxiety and expectation on her face.

Xu Mingjie walked over and sat opposite her. "Sister Lou, what happened? You look a little anxious."

Lou Xiao'e's expression became more solemn, and she said softly: "Xu Mingjie, I just received an important message about Banggeng. We may need to take action as soon as possible."

Xu Mingjie's heart tightened, and he quickly adjusted his mood, "What important information?"

Lou Xiao'e quickly took out a note and pushed it in front of Xu Mingjie. "This is the latest information I got from a private detective. According to their investigation, Banggeng has been in frequent contact with some suspicious people recently, and may be involved in some improper business activities."

Xu Mingjie carefully examined the contents of the note, and his heart was filled with a wave of emotion. The information on the note pointed to the secret transactions between Banggeng and some business partners, which seemed extremely complicated and secretive. Xu Mingjie knew that this might be an important breakthrough for him to expose Banggeng's improper behavior.

"Is this information reliable?" Xu Mingjie asked, looking up, trying to find more clues from Lou Xiao'e's expression.

Lou Xiao'e nodded. "I believe the accuracy of this information. The detectives have been monitoring for several months and have collected a lot of evidence. I think now is the time to take action."

Xu Mingjie took a deep breath and began to think about how to use this information. He knew that direct confrontation might alert Banggeng, and a more covert strategy might be more effective. He decided to continue to cooperate with Lou Xiaoe, while keeping a close eye on Banggeng's movements and looking for the best time to act.

"We need to develop a detailed plan to ensure that we can obtain more evidence without arousing suspicion from the other party." Xu Mingjie said seriously, "What suggestions do you have?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, "I have considered some plans. First, we can expand the scope of monitoring Banggeng's activities through some channels to ensure that we can obtain information in time when he performs key operations. Secondly, we can also use some indirect means to leak intelligence to other members of the family to attract their attention and vigilance."

Xu Mingjie nodded. "This will ensure that we don't come into direct conflict with Banggeng, and at the same time we can effectively collect more evidence."

At this moment, the door of the cafe was pushed open, and Xu Mingjie's eyes turned to the door involuntarily. Jia Zhang also came in, and her eyes swept around the cafe, as if looking for someone. Her appearance made Xu Mingjie and Lou Xiaoe feel a little surprised and nervous.
