Upon hearing Ling Xue's plan, Ling Na immediately expressed her willingness to participate. With righteous indignation, she said, "Hmph, how despicable for a fraud to deceive others out of their hard-earned money. We must find this hypocrite and ensure he receives the punishment he deserves."
Ling Xue nodded, her eyes shining with determination. "That's right, and the reward this time is thirty thousand. With that money, we can live better."
The two began to take multiple approaches. On one hand, they registered on various social media platforms, presenting themselves as affluent socialites. They carefully selected and posted luxurious lifestyle photos, frequently updating their status to showcase their high-end lives.
Ling Xue remarked to Ling Na, "I hope this attracts attention; perhaps the fraud will notice us."
Ling Na replied, "Yes, we’ll wait for him to take the bait." At the same time, they kept a close watch on various rumors and news online, leaving no stone unturned in their search for clues related to the fraud.
On the other hand, they often frequented bars and clubs. Ling Xue donned revealing outfits that highlighted her wealth and charm. Every movement and glance she made radiated allure, drawing the attention of those around her. Ling Na complemented her perfectly; the two shared an unspoken understanding.
In the bar, with flashing lights and deafening music, Ling Xue and Ling Na sat in a corner, seemingly leisurely sipping their drinks while keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings. Ling Xue whispered, "Ling Na, we must be careful; this place is full of all sorts of people. The fraud could be among them."
Ling Na nodded in agreement. "Don’t worry; I’ll keep an eye out." They engaged in conversations with various individuals, trying to catch any hints about the fraud from their words.
In the club, the environment was elegant and tranquil. Ling Xue and Ling Na mingled with influential figures, showcasing their intelligence and charm.
Ling Xue smiled and said, "We should leverage these connections to broaden our search."
Ling Na agreed, "Exactly; they might provide us with useful leads."
With their graceful demeanor and witty conversation, they garnered much admiration while discreetly observing for any suspicious individuals.
However, their mission was not without challenges. One time while out on an errand, they encountered a lecherous driver. The driver was captivated by Ling Xue and Ling Na's beauty and began to harass them verbally while attempting to make inappropriate advances. Although startled, they did not panic.
Ling Xue calmly said, "Ling Na, don’t be afraid; we’ll find a way to escape." Ling Na tightly grasped Ling Xue's hand. "Okay, let’s think of a way together."
In a critical moment, Ling Xue activated her special skills and successfully shook off the lecherous driver.
After this dangerous encounter, Ling Xue realized they needed a reliable driver.
She turned to Ling Na and said, "Ling Na, since we can't drive ourselves, it would be too inconvenient. Can you find someone to help us?"
Ling Na thought for a moment before her eyes lit up. "I have an old acquaintance who is a taxi driver named Hou Kang. I can ask him to assist us."
Thus, Ling Na contacted Hou Kang. Upon hearing about their situation, he readily agreed to help. With Hou Kang on board, Ling Xue and Ling Na's operations became smoother as they continued their quest to find that despicable fraud and seek justice for the victims.
Hou Kang was a regular contact of Ling Na's; they had communicated frequently during Jun Yue's time. As a taxi driver who interacted with all walks of life, he had access to valuable information.
However, Hou Kang occasionally displayed inappropriate interest in Ling Xue, which caused her some discomfort. One time when he gave her that familiar look again, Ling Xue frowned and said discontentedly, "Hou Kang, please show some respect."
Feeling awkward, Hou Kang scratched his head. "I’m sorry, Ling Xue; it wasn’t intentional."
Seeing this unfold, Ling Na quickly intervened. "Hou Kang, don’t mess around; we’re here for serious business."
Hou Kang nodded earnestly. "Got it; I’ll be careful."
