Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Clue Obtained

Inside the commercial vehicle heading to the hospital.

Jiang Lingxi reached out to Jiang Lingxu, "Phone, earphones."

Jiang Lingxu, while instinctively rummaging in his bag, looked disapproving, "Sis, you should be resting right now."

Earlier at the film set, he initially found filming quite interesting and watched for a while. But later, watching the actors shoot the same scene repeatedly until the director was satisfied became boring, so he took out his phone to connect with some band friends and secretly teamed up to play games.

Suddenly, Jiang Lingxi vomited blood. He, serving as a temporary personal assistant, wasn’t as quick to react as his brother-in-law who was farther away.

By the time he was startled back to his senses, his brother-in-law was already running outside holding his sister, and he hurriedly caught up.

Feeling both guilty and worried due to his negligence, after finding the phone and earphones, he hesitated but handed them over meekly when Jiang Lingxi shot him a glance.

Jiang Lingxi put on the earphones, unlocked the phone screen, and directly opened the app, watching the small red dot that had stopped moving on the screen, "Record."

For a moment, Jiang Lingxu didn’t react, "What?"

But Shen Yunqing, sitting on the other side, already grabbed the paper and pen placed in the car, "Go on."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at him, reciting the precise address of the small red dot, "No. 24, Dragon Shore Villa District, Linnhai Avenue, Longwan District, Tonghai City."

Jiang Lingxu had never heard of this address and couldn’t help but ask, "Where’s this?"

"Don’t ask too much." Jiang Lingxi knocked away his head that was coming over and then opened the recording again, "Record again."

Shen Yunqing’s hand holding the pen paused, and then wrote on the paper: Master Mei, Aunt, and other characters.

When Jiang Lingxi stopped the recording, her expression was already stern.

She had vaguely suspected before, and now this suspicion had evidently become a fact after listening to the recording.

Jiang Xiyu indeed rose to fame in the entertainment industry by stepping on the original, and the aunt behind her, called Master Mei, seemed to have used some unorthodox methods to help her.

The original was just an ordinary girl, not knowing the ropes, which is why Jiang Xiyu used such unspeakable tactics to taint her with scandals, making it nearly impossible for her to move an inch within the industry.

But Jiang Lingxi had some understanding of these methods.

Someone like Master Mei, called a master in the modern era, would have been called a magician in her previous life.

She had seen many charlatans, but also some who truly possessed unusual powers, indeed having their own esoteric tricks.

However, this was the first time she saw someone who dared to calculate against her using the identity of the original protagonist.

But trying to scheme against her wouldn’t be that easy. She remembered witnessing the most powerful magician in her past life, who bluntly said, even if someone in their trade harbored ill intentions, they wouldn’t dare target a monarch, it wasn’t boldness from skills but courting death.

Earlier she coughed up blood, so the schemer, Master Mei, was probably going through more than just coughing up blood.

"It’s written."

Jiang Lingxi came back to her senses and took the paper handed over by Shen Yunqing.

Looking at the two rows of words written with a pen, they were erect and elegant. If written with a brush, they would be even more pleasing to the eye.

However, at the moment, she wasn’t in much of an appreciating mood. The hidden serpent had finally poked its head out of the dense foliage; she just wanted to crush its seven inches to root out the problem.

But facing Jiang Lingxu’s naïve and dumb gaze, Jiang Lingxi shifted her attention to Shen Yunqing.

Before she could speak, the man seemed to anticipate what she wanted to say, "Whatever help you need, just let me know."

Jiang Lingxi met Shen Yunqing’s gaze, lowered her eyes, and lightly tapped the words ’Master Mei’ on the paper with her finger, "I need information on this person, as detailed as possible. Currently, all I know is that she’s Jiang Xiyu’s aunt. Also, there’s something strange about this person, your people must be careful during the investigation." Pausing slightly, "Please!"

She hadn’t been here long, and while there were people around her, like Tong Yue or Lu Zhengzheng, they were just ordinary people. As such, the only person she could rely on was Shen Yunqing who had a wider network.

Shen Yunqing nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

After a pause, he added in a low voice, "No need to say please with me."

Jiang Lingxi folded the paper, about to hand it to Jiang Lingxu, telling him to keep it safe and not lose it. Hearing this, her actions momentarily paused, and she gave a soft "嗯" (en) sound.

"Boss, Madam, we’re at the hospital."

Even though Jiang Lingxi had repeatedly assured she was fine while in the car, after getting off, she was directly transferred to a mobile stretcher waiting outside the car and immediately taken for various examinations.

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

Alright then, she’ll cooperate!

After all, she’s been busy all morning, and lying down now felt quite comfortable.

Watching as the stretcher was pushed into the examination room, Shen Yunqing instructed Jiang Lingxu to guard the door well, while he retreated to a secluded spot to make a phone call.

On the other end, the line was filled with harsh wind sounds before a voice spoke, "Hello, my signal isn’t very good...,"

"We have a lead."

Those four words made the person climbing on the other side suddenly halt, immediately finding a sheltered spot, "Tell me in detail."

"We overlooked someone in the entertainment circle. Today someone tried to scheme against His Majesty, causing His Majesty to vomit blood; that person should have also suffered a backlash."

"His Majesty vomited blood, is it serious?"

"Her complexion looks alright, currently undergoing examination at the hospital. Where are you now? It doesn’t sound like you’re in a normal place."

"On Icefield Mountain. The locals below said there are signs of life on the mountain; anyone living in such a place probably isn’t ordinary, so I came to investigate."

Shen Yunqing: "...Does your junior sister have the surname Mei?"

"No, did you find out that the person scheming against His Majesty has the last name Mei?"

"I didn’t find out, His Majesty found it out herself, even identifying the person’s identity and address."

"...It must be His Majesty; she always strikes directly at the heart of the matter."

"I’ll send you a message later; I’d appreciate it if you could go there yourself."

"Don’t mention it; I’ll get there as soon as possible."

After hanging up, Shen Yunqing immediately made a few more phone calls.

With everything meticulously arranged, he finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

The lead was there, and it was now his job to dig deeper along the line.

"Why are there more tests; can’t I eat until they’re all done?" Jiang Lingxi sat up from the hospital bed, complaining.

Shen Yunqing, holding the recently delivered examination report, patiently explained, "The current examination results show that Miss Jiang’s health isn’t very good. Doing a thorough check-up now will ensure better care and regulation later."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

Isn’t this person sure that she would never ignore her own health? Otherwise, how could his words be so accurately pinpoint her weakness?
