Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Interested in joining us?

Jiang Li looked at his face, which was black-purple, black-purple, surely he had done something guilty recently.

Xing Mingfei firmly believed in Jiang Li’s words and nodded immediately in agreement.

Sure enough, after that person was taken away, these villagers became much more honest and no longer dared to shout loudly, each leaving in defeat one after another.

"This matter probably won’t end so simply." Jiang Li said to Yu Li before leaving, "You might need to put more effort into security recently."

"Okay, I will pay attention."

Sure enough, in the following days, the area around Fuhu Mountain became much more peaceful.

But it wasn’t long before more incidents occurred.

First, the original construction team quit, and the contractor completely disappeared.

Then their construction site faced all sorts of harassment, and one morning, they even found the ground covered in feces.

Yu Li spent a lot of time just hiring people to clean up.

It wasn’t until he installed cameras in every corner under Fuhu Mountain that these absurdities subsided a bit.

The interrogation result from Xing Mingfei’s side also came out.

The man’s name was Wu Limin, a villager from Fuhu Village near Fuhu Mountain.

He originally did not know about the construction of Qixing Tower on Fuhu Mountain; it was only when a businessman suddenly came to the village recently and told them about it.

And also said that this Qixing Tower was the trick of wealthy people, and not a Feng Shui tower beneficial to the area, but a Demon Tower that sapped their fortune.

Upon hearing this, the villagers were naturally furious and, led by him, started running to the construction site to protest.

Xing Mingfei profiled the businessman he mentioned, but after searching for many days, couldn’t find a trace of him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li instructed him to stop the search.

That person was evidently prepared for this.

Even if they deployed more police, it would be impossible to dig the person out in such a short time.

Such time-consuming and labor-intensive actions are better ended as soon as possible.

But then, seeing their actions being restrained, these people started to stir up public opinion online.

First, an analysis post claimed that Qixing Tower was actually a Demon Tower, which went viral.

Then, photos of Jiang Li, Yu Li, and others inspecting the construction site were secretly taken and posted online, causing a storm of criticism.

[How did Jiang Li get involved in this too? Isn’t she busy making money from live streaming? Now she’s making money from this?]

[Are you stupid? She’s not making money; she’s grabbing fortune!]

[I always said she’s not a legitimate mysticism master. What kind of legit master does live streaming? Look, now she’s coaxing others to build such harmful things.]

[So disgusting, so bad, quickly report to the relevant departments!]

[@Mystical Event Investigation Bureau, are you going to manage this or not? Quickly arrest this old witch.]

Hence, Lin Jingshan was immediately sent down to handle this matter.

He contacted Jiang Li at once.

At the long table in the Yu Family meeting, four people sat facing each other.

Lin Jingshan sat at the head of the long table, his brows furrowed.

"This matter has a huge impact and even alarmed the government. We have to settle public opinion within five days. What do you all think?"

Yu Li spoke, "It’s obvious someone did this on purpose, but we’ve been checking for so many days without finding anything useful."

Changqing slowly opened his closed eyes, "Just a reminder, that person might very well be an insider too. I tried to use divination to figure out his background, but the divination showed extreme chaos, clearly indicating that the other party knows the business and has methods to block others’ investigations."

Jiang Li also responded with a "hmm," "I also tried some calculations, but indeed couldn’t come up with anything. The most crucial thing now is to resolve the online trending first, otherwise it will definitely affect the construction progress."

"I’ve already tried to take down the trending topics, but it doesn’t seem to be effective." Yu Li said, "The villagers of Fuhu Village are also not very cooperative."

Everyone furrowed their brows, falling into deep thought.

A few minutes later, Jiang Li spoke, "How about this—"

She looked towards Lin Jingshan, "Aren’t you official? You can jointly issue a statement with the police to verify the function of Qixing Tower, and also contact other well-known mysticism streamers online for an on-site interview. Simply deleting trending topics won’t stop this."

The emotions of netizens have all been stirred up.

The more they remove trending topics, the more the situation will worsen, and these people will only feel more guilty.

It’s better to be open about it.

Lin Jingshan thought for a moment, "That’s indeed a good idea. I’ll report it now and strive to get the document down today."

Jiang Li then looked at Yu Li, "The situation on the Fuhu Village side is indeed tricky... But we can use their own tactics against them. You could also try bribing a villager to lead support for Qixing Tower."

"Also, since the previous construction team left, I remember Fuhu Village has many unemployed youths, right? You can utilize them too."

Yu Li suddenly became enlightened upon hearing this.

"You always have the key, Captain. I’ll go prepare right away."

The group deliberated, quickly coming up with three or four contingency plans.

It was only then that the meeting concluded satisfactorily.

Before leaving, Lin Jingshan specifically approached Jiang Li and handed her a new business card.

It had a feminine name engraved, with her address and contact info on the back.

"This is our department’s HR." Lin Jingshan adjusted his glasses nervously, "Uh... our director was quite interested in you after hearing about your experiences. I wonder if Miss Jiang is interested in joining our department."

Lin Jingshan raised his head, revealing a hint of expectant light refracted through the thick lenses.

It could be seen that he was also quite hopeful.

But Jiang Li smiled and returned the card to him.

"Sorry, Investigator Lin, I don’t have plans to develop in that direction for now."

Lin Jingshan was taken aback.

"Why? Our benefits are very good."

After all, it’s an official organization. For enthusiasts of mysticism like them, it’s a highly coveted position.

Their positions were also hard to come by.

The director particularly appreciated her, which is why he asked the bureau chief for such an opportunity.

Jiang Li lightly shook her head, "I know, but I only see mysticism as a hobby, I have other more important things to do."

"What could be more important, can we help?"

"You really can’t help with this."

"Is it that tricky?"

"Taking the college entrance examination this year."

Lin Jingshan: "....?"

Changqing saw Lin Jingshan and Jiang Li chatting and after a moment of pondering in place, lifted his foot and left.

But he hadn’t walked a few steps when Jiang Li unexpectedly caught up.

"Don’t leave, I have something to discuss with you."

Changqing slowly turned around.

"What do you want to discuss with me?"

Jiang Li smiled mysteriously, "Want to team up with me for something?"
