Zhuo Yue dialed Zhuo Yue's number, Ling Zhenfei hadn't even spoken when the playful voice of Zhuo Yue came from the other end, "Hey, Ling Zhenfei, Hero Ling, you're really like the Divine Dragon that shows its head but not its tail. Where have you been these days, not coming to hang out with me?"

With that, Zhuo Yue lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Hero Ling, I've recently discovered a very arrogant pyramid scheme organization and am planning to infiltrate it for an undercover investigation. What do you think, are you interested in joining me?"

"Uh, this..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was suddenly at a loss for words. He had been planning to seek Zhuo Yue's help, but from the looks of it, she might be roping him into an undercover investigation...

"What 'uh'? Come on, Hero Ling, we're not strangers. Stop beating around the bush, just tell me, are you going or not?"

Zhuo Yue, fully expecting Ling Zhenfei to be as excited as her upon hearing the news, was displeased when she sensed his hesitation at the other end.

"Zhuo Yue, about this undercover thing... it's not urgent right now, let's talk about it later. I'm calling you because I have something serious to discuss," Ling Zhenfei frowned deeply, now quite puzzled whether he had made a mistake in seeking this girl's help. Given her headstrong personality, she might leak Xie Lina's news in no time!

"You have something serious to talk about? What is it, so secretive? Is it about that case from last time? Come on, tell me, tell me!"

While Ling Zhenfei was hesitating, Zhuo Yue shouted excitedly on the phone.

Even though last time she, along with Ling Zhenfei and Han Lian, had busted Hei Biao and others' underground base, and her report had earned her the newspaper's commendation, she had visited the Binyang City Public Security Bureau multiple times and had sought Han Lian for interviews about the follow-up to the case, but without success.

The girl had been anxiously hanging on to that matter, so hearing that Ling Zhenfei had something serious to discuss, she naturally thought about that previous case.

"Well, sort of!"

At this stage, Ling Zhenfei couldn't back out even if he wanted to, so he simply nodded and asked, "Zhuo Yue, I heard you say you have an apartment in Binyang, right? Where is it? I'll come over to you."

"Yeah, okay, I'm at Block 2, Floor 5, Phase 1 of Xincheng Mingdu on Jian'an Road." Hearing Ling Zhenfei acknowledge it, Zhuo Yue was overjoyed and quickly gave her address.

"Let's go, Miss Xie, I'll find you a place to rest first." Ending the call, Ling Zhenfei hailed a cab and went with Xie Lina to Zhuo Yue's place.

Upon arriving at Xincheng Mingdu, just reaching the downstairs of Zhuo Yue's building, Ling Zhenfei saw Zhuo Yue waving at him from the balcony on the fifth floor, signaling him to come up.

When Ling Zhenfei and Xie Lina reached the floor, unexpectedly, there were two visitors at Zhuo Yue's place, a man and a woman.

The man and the woman, although young and good-looking, had emaciated faces, obviously malnourished, with deeply sunken eyes, looking as if they hadn't slept for days.

"Ling Zhenfei, you've come, please come in!" As Zhuo Yue welcomed Ling Zhenfei and Xie Lina inside, she saw Xie Lina was relatively unfamiliar and curiously asked Ling Zhenfei, "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Xie Lina!"

Fearing that she would carelessly say something and scare Xie Lina, Ling Zhenfei quickly pulled her into the room and softly revealed Xie Lina's identity.

"What, she is the missing woman?"

Sure enough, upon hearing that Xie Lina was indeed the missing woman the police were searching for, Zhuo Yue immediately showed great interest and wanted to go out to talk to Xie Lina.

"Hey, Zhuo Yue, come back!" Seeing her in such a haste, Ling Zhenfei panicked and quickly grabbed her arm:

"Right now, the Chen family's people are looking everywhere for her, and Xie Lina is adamant about not going to the Public Security Bureau, there must be a reason. I'll let her hide at your place for a few days, we can investigate slowly. Don't go talking to her recklessly and scare her; that wouldn't be good."

"I understand! Hehe..."

Zhuo Yue wiped her nose and proudly said, "Ling Zhenfei, you'd better not underestimate me. After all, I'm an experienced 'Jianghu,' I still have some sense."

"Hey, don't rush off yet!" Zhuo Yue had just finished speaking and was about to head to the living room but Ling Zhenfei pulled her back again.

She immediately became agitated and pouted at Ling Zhenfei: "I'm saying, Big Brother Ling, can't you tell me everything all at once? This really wastes my time, you know?"

"Pfft, your time? I think it's all time wasted making trouble!"

Ling Zhenfei stared at her speechlessly, then secretly pointed towards a young couple sitting on the sofa, asking, "Who are these two?"

"Hehe, speaking of these two, now that's interesting!" As soon as Ling Zhenfei asked about the couple, Zhuo Yue's interest was immediately piqued.

Glancing at the man and woman, a mysterious expression appeared on Zhuo Yue's pretty face, and she whispered into Ling Zhenfei's ear: "Didn't I tell you just now? I'm planning to infiltrate a multi-level marketing gang, and these two are members of the MLM organization.

However, on the surface, they claim to be direct sales representatives of some international beauty corporation. I merely expressed a casual interest in becoming their downline, and they did everything in their power to recruit me."

Ling Zhenfei had already noticed that the couple looked haggard and did not seem like people with legitimate jobs. Now hearing Zhuo Yue say they were MLM operatives, he couldn't help but feel pity for the duo.

Although Ling Zhenfei had never directly encountered MLM, he knew too well that it was extraordinarily harmful.

Those unwilling to endure hardship, yet dreaming of overnight richness, are deceived and brainwashed by unscrupulous individuals, falling into traps and dragging their families and friends down with them. These people are both pitiful and detestable!

"Zhuo Yue, go send those two away. Xie Lina is staying here, and it must be kept totally secret, not letting anyone know."

If it were not because of Xie Lina's situation, Ling Zhenfei would have liked to join Zhuo Yue in taking down the MLM organization behind the couple. But at the moment, he had too much to handle and simply couldn't spare the energy to deal with this.

"Okay, I'll send them off!" Zhuo Yue nodded her head and walked out with Ling Zhenfei.

Zhuo Yue first shook hands with Xie Lina and had her sit down.

Noticing Zhuo Yue ignoring them, the MLM man and woman exchanged glances, and the woman then asked Zhuo Yue with a smile, "Miss Zhuo, I've already explained all about our company to you, may I know your thoughts?"

"This..." Hearing this, Zhuo Yue's eyes rolled as she quickly thought of a plan and smilingly said to the woman, "Hmm, I've already learned a lot about your company, and I'm considering it. You see... I have guests at home, so how about we reschedule and talk another time?"
