Chapter 133 Information Insight
The moment Bai Li's gaze fell upon Jing Ye's farewell letter, time seemed to freeze, and everything around her blurred into the background.
She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and the letter in her hand trembled slightly.
Shock, worry, anger and other emotions surged within her.
Those minor details that she had overlooked now surfaced one by one like a tide.
It turns out that the changes in the quiet night had been foreshadowed long ago.
The once gentle and talkative Jingye has become taciturn, often lost in thought, her eyes filled with worries she cannot understand.
It's not just the emotional changes, but also the work; I've suddenly become extremely busy lately.
In the past, he was always able to handle various matters in an orderly manner and even find time to discuss various plans with her. But recently, he has been buried in the company all day long, and it seems that he is rarely seen at home.
She was thinking that once things calmed down, she would give him a long vacation and take him on a trip to another city next month to relax and relieve some work pressure.
She never imagined that Jingye's busyness was actually a way of quietly handing over her work.
He carefully handed over his tasks to his assistant one by one, patiently imparted his experience to the staff below, and arranged everything in a well-organized manner.
He was preparing to leave, wanting Bai Li to be able to run everything smoothly after he left, without being caught off guard by his departure.
Bai Li's eyes gradually welled up with tears, and regret and self-blame spread wildly in her heart like vines.
She should have thought more deeply and noticed Jingye's unusual behavior sooner.
But compared to sadness, Bai Li felt more hatred for the forces that were secretly causing trouble, those who forced Jing Ye to leave.
In an instant, all the doubts were answered.
"Once it sprouts, it can't be hidden."
It turns out that the "sprouting" that Wu Hai mentioned actually referred to the still night.
Wu Hai must have known some key information in advance, and there was a huge information gap that she was completely unaware of.
Bai Li gripped the letter tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down before carefully reading the contents of the letter word by word.
This time, she forced herself to analyze the situation calmly.
First, the root cause of the film's censorship obstruction lies with the former master family of Jingye.
Although she knew very little about the family, she could roughly deduce some things from Jingye's fragmented memories.
This family is unlikely to be based in China, as there is no tradition of training butlers from a young age in China, and such behavior is illegal. Therefore, this family is most likely based overseas.
Moreover, its power is immense, its network of connections is intricate, and it possesses considerable influence. It is even able to exert influence on the crucial process of film censorship, and its methods are ruthless beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
Although Jingye did not explicitly mention his purpose and plans for leaving in his letter, Bai Li was certain that Jingye's departure was not a simple farewell; he must be going to do something extremely important.
This trip is undoubtedly like stepping into a den of wolves, and Jingye may very well never return.
In the letter, Jingye mentioned the letter in the hidden compartment on the third shelf of the wardrobe. Although he meant to open it when the cherry blossoms bloom, Baili couldn't wait that long.
This letter may contain more crucial information, possibly core intelligence about the former master's family, or other important matters that need to be explained.
She absolutely could not accept that Jingye would face danger alone for her sake.
Without hesitation, Bai Li immediately had Ah Hu retrieve the letter that Jing Ye had left in the hidden compartment.
First, Jingye outlined the core structure of the former master's family in the letter.
The family, codenamed "Qing Teng," originated from the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Group in the late 19th century. Its headquarters are now located in Southeast Asia, but its businesses are spread all over the world.
On the surface, they run the high-end art auction house, Vermeer Gallery, attracting the attention of art lovers and collectors worldwide with its exquisite auction items and luxurious exhibitions; behind the scenes, however, they control multiple secret illegal antique smuggling channels and obtain huge profits through a complex underground trading network.
Some family members have close ties to the international black market for antiques. These illegal trading networks are an important source of the family's wealth accumulation and also the area of interest they value most and are most sensitive to.
The list contained numerous names, but only two stood out as truly important. One was Leo Lin, the current head of the family, who wielded absolute power and controlled the family's core decision-making. This operation against Jingye was also orchestrated by him.
However, he was plagued by severe gout and would go to the Bern thermal spa every Friday to relieve his pain.
Another key figure in the obstruction of this film censorship is Nguyen Minh Ngoc, who is currently in charge of cultural censorship and infiltration in the Asian region and uses her position to seek benefits for her family.
This time, it was she who stirred up trouble behind the scenes, making Bai Li's film project extremely difficult, and becoming the real executor who is now causing Bai Li trouble.
In the remainder of the letter, Jingye detailed the resources he had left behind. He authorized Baili to use his personal savings without reservation, attaching bank account information and a formal letter of authorization.
Based on his understanding of his former master's family and his many years of experience, he also provided Bai Li with suggestions on future strategies.
In addition, Jingye also included a list of his personal connections, which recorded key figures from various industries. These people had either received help from Jingye or had a deep relationship with him, and were very likely to provide assistance to Baili in the future.
It's called a letter, but it's more like a will.
"As I finished writing this letter, I didn't know where to begin. All my words can only be summed up in one sentence—May you be well."
Take everything I have and exchange it for the apricot blossoms and spring rain of Jiangnan, for the vineyards at the foot of the Alps, for every moment that allows you to sleep peacefully.
Don't bother with the vines; they don't deserve to soil your shoes.
The thing I am most proud of in my life
It means you never truly let darkness creep onto your sleeves.
It's time to turn off the lights.
If you meet someone who treats you like the first snow, (the ink suddenly spreads, as if the pen tip has been hovering for too long)
I will be somewhere far away, silently sending you my blessings.
At the end of the letter, there was a line of very light handwriting, as if blown away by the wind: "If there is an afterlife, I hope we can meet in a better time."
"Fool, who wants those things?!" Bai Li was now truly anxious and annoyed.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to find Jingye in time.
The situation was truly terrible. Jingye was definitely going to do something extremely dangerous, but what was infuriating was that she didn't know what Jingye was going to do.
"Xiao Hao? How much favorability do I have left?" Bai Li quickly called out to Xiao Hao.
Xiao Hao immediately replied, "There are 23 left."
Although the quantity was small, it should be enough for the lottery. Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Li immediately invested all her favorability points into the Myriad Wheels.
After so many draws, Bai Li was now convinced of the wondrous fact that the Myriad Wheel possessed its own consciousness. Countless verifications showed that the Myriad Wheel always managed to give her the perfect prize at crucial moments.
So this time, Bai Li clasped her hands together and earnestly prayed to the lottery ticket: "Please, this lottery is so important to me, please help me."
This lottery draw once again confirmed her idea.
The Wheel of Myriad Forms not only possesses its own consciousness, but also seems to dote on her exceptionally.
Only 23 draws were needed, but a special UR-level prize appeared – [Information Insight Card].
Like the previous [Item Finder], it is also an omniscient skill card.
Xiao Hao explained, "Using this card allows you to obtain any information you want within a specific range. It's also a one-time use item, so please use it with caution!"
It's a very useful card in the current situation.
If we don't use it now, when will we?
Bai Li redeemed the card without hesitation, setting the scope to be related to "Green Vine".
She wanted to know everything about this family, all their information, all their secrets, and all their fatal weaknesses.
Rather than trying to find out Jingye's whereabouts, it's better to get to the root of the problem and start with this sinful family.
Finding Jingye is not Bai Li's ultimate goal; completely annihilating this family is.
They really offended her.
She wanted to destroy them before they could harm Jingye.
On this earth, there probably hasn't been a fight between humans and an armed force composed of advanced artificial intelligence, right?
"Ah Hu, grab your weapons."
