Chapter 5: Coincidences that should not exist

Although An Yuanxiu did not officially introduce Zhu Feilu's identity, Zhu Feilu did not hide his name from Qi Yaang, Qi Yaang guessed his identity from his surname, but out of respect and trust in An Yuanxiu's work, he did not delve too deeply, and did not ask how the two met and why they acted together.

But An Yuanxiu, who never took the initiative to approach anyone, would actually bring someone with him, and silently defend the things he taught him in the metaphysical world, this time will he go to the meeting in order to wish Fei Lu to change himself again, Qi Yaang is really a little curious.

An Yuanxiu turned around with the water cup, thought for a while, put down the cup and replied: "Go ahead, it's too wasteful of energy to keep grinding with them like this, we must find the source of the problem as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, he added: "By the way, let Xiao Lu go to see the meeting." ”

Hearing An Yuanxiu say this, Qi Ya smiled slightly, and then stood up on the edge of the table.

"Understood, I'll arrange a place for you, then I'll go over first, and you two come over slowly." After saying that, he waved his hand and left the restaurant first.

Seeing Qi Yaang leave the restaurant, Zhu Feilu turned his head and asked the doubts in his heart.

"What location?"

An Yuanxiu called the waiter to settle the bill, and smiled helplessly after learning that Qi Yaang had paid before leaving, and greeted Zhu Feilu to leave the restaurant.

While walking out of the restaurant, An Yuan Xiu explained to Zhu Feilu.

"The metaphysical world attaches great importance to the identity and power of the family, which you should know." After receiving a nod from Zhu Feilu in response, An Yuanxiu continued: "A well-known young master of the Qi family like Qi Yaang, whenever he participates in gatherings of all sizes, he sits in the main seat with the right to speak, while a 'regular person' like me, who has no family background, is ranked in the lower seat with other families according to his strength. ”

"So at various gatherings, as long as you see the seats, you can probably judge a person's identity and strength."

An Yuanxiu walked to the side of the car and opened the door but didn't go in, and said again: "Of course, those who have no family background and no strength are not qualified to participate in the rally." With that, he got into the car and closed the door.

Zhu Feilu hurriedly got into the car and understood Qi Yaang's so-called arrangement of positions, that is, to arrange the two of them in an inconspicuous "regular person" position, but in order to highlight their strength and not be looked down upon, they had to arrange the seats at the top.

The two got into the car and drove in the direction of the Metaphysical Society, and no one spoke along the way. Zhu Feilu is still silently digesting the so-called "family strength system" of the Metaphysical Society in his heart.

On weekdays, the streets of Beicheng are still full of people, and many tourists take advantage of the golden autumn season in late September to travel and play, making the city not lacking in popularity day and night.

Taking advantage of the red light, An Yuanxiu stopped the car and watched the tourists hurrying outside the window walking on the streets with fallen leaves, and unconsciously fell into a trance.

These ordinary people probably will never know for the rest of their lives that the two people sitting in the car on the other side of the street, no more than 5 meters apart, come from a metaphysical world that exists with them but can never be known to them.

Ordinary people have done their best to bother for birth, old age, sickness and death in the world they know.

Even if the metaphysical community has made a promise and is restricted by various regulations and forces to "not allow harm to ordinary people", as long as there is a metaphysical force, in the eyes of these ordinary people, the "regular people" who are born as people as them are all "potential crises".

"It's ironic that the husband is innocent and guilty."

An Yuanxiu secretly mocked in his heart, retracted his gaze and no longer looked out the window, the green light just turned on and started the car conveniently, except for rolling up the scattered fallen leaves on the road, he didn't raise a little dust.

When they arrived at the Xuan Society, there were already many families and righteous people coming, and the two of them silently found the place arranged for them by Qi Yaang and sat down, without communicating with the people around them, nor going to greet Qi Yaang.

Although they were low-key enough, the two young-looking youths sat at the top of the orthodox people, which still attracted the attention of those around them.

An Yuanxiu looked familiar with this situation, sitting there neither humble nor arrogant, although Zhu Feilu raised his usual "cold" shelf on the surface, but the hands clenched under the table still made An Yuanxiu see his nervousness.

"Don't worry, they won't recognize you." Knowing that Zhu Feilu was nervous because he was afraid of being recognized as the Zhu family, An Yuanxiu maintained a natural line of sight looking ahead, and turned slightly sideways to comfort Zhu Feilu softly.

"Hmm...... Well. Although Zhu Feilu was still nervous when he heard this, under An Yuanxiu's steady voice, his breathing unconsciously relaxed a lot.

The two of them spoke for a short time and then didn't speak again, looking around at the people who were talking about their whispers, and finally shifted their eyes as the representatives of the family who had the right to speak entered.

Zhu Feilu, who was paying attention to the entrance trend, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the Zhu family was not present, but as soon as he relaxed, he couldn't help but worry about the fact that the Zhu family couldn't even participate in the meeting now.

What Zhu Feilu didn't expect was that in addition to the representatives of the Qi family and the An family, the Deng family also came this time, and it was his acquaintance.

Deng Linyuan didn't have classes that day, and Zhu Feilu didn't have anyone to play in the dormitory, so he went back to the main house when he was bored, and it happened that Deng Linyuan's father Deng Guangshun was going to come to the Xuan Society to participate in the meeting, Deng Linyuan's brain was hot, and he agreed to his father's casual question of "do you want to go together".

Deng Linyuan, who regretted it all the way, still failed to slip away until he walked into the conference hall. On the surface, he maintained the posture of the son of the family and entered the scene, but he regretted and was irritable in his heart, and before he could reach his seat, he saw Zhu Feilu sitting at the bottom of the main seat.

Deng Linyuan knew the current situation of the Zhu family, although he didn't know why Zhu Feilu, as the youngest son of the head of the family, had been protected and hidden by the Zhu family, but he knew that Zhu Feilu himself also obeyed the family's request and tried not to show up in the metaphysical world.

And the Deng family, as a representative of the wealthy family of ordinary people, although Deng Linyuan's identity is well known, except for things related to Zhu Feilu, he generally does not participate in meetings in the metaphysical world, so the two of them looked at each other a little at first glance.

An Yuanxiu noticed that the two of them looked at each other, and gently touched Zhu Feilu's arm under the table to bring him back to his senses, Zhu Feilu reacted and immediately shook his head gently at Deng Linyuan.

Seeing Zhu Feilu's movements, Deng Linyuan guessed that Zhu Feilu probably made himself pretend not to know him, so he responded to the other party with a gentle bow, and followed his father to the location of the Deng family.

Seeing that Deng Linyuan successfully understood what he meant, Zhu Feilu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. An Yuanxiu, who had been paying attention to the side, chuckled and whispered to Zhu Feilu.

"It seems that this friend of yours is very reliable and understands what you mean."

"yes...... Hahaha, I just hope that Uncle Deng won't notice me later......" Zhu Feilu frowned haha, but his mind was worried about being discovered, and he didn't care about investigating An Yuanxiu at this time to be clear about why he wanted to hide his identity.

Qi Yang, who was sitting at the head of the family not far away, had been paying attention to the two, and seeing a series of interactions between the two, especially An Yuanxiu's obvious maintenance of Zhu Feilu, he raised the corner of his mouth thoughtfully and smiled, at this time, the An family, who was presiding over today's meeting, finally arrived, and Qi Yangang turned his eyes away and looked at the direction of the An family's entry with everyone in the venue.

Noticing the An family's entrance, An Yuanxiu and Zhu Feilu also looked over there. When he saw who the An family was responsible for presiding over the assembly today, An Yuanxiu was immediately stunned.

originally thought that this kind of occasion should be presided over by his eldest brother An Yuanze or other uncles, and An Yuanxiu came to participate with confidence, but he didn't expect that it was his father who came today, An Zhicheng, the second head of the An family.

But he was only stunned because of the unexpected visitor, with his understanding of his father, An Zhicheng would turn a blind eye even if he saw him, and An Yuanxiu was not worried that his identity would be exposed.

An Zhicheng walked to the edge of his seat and glanced at the position of the head of the regular person, and immediately saw An Yuanxiu sitting there with an expressionless face.

Just as An Yuanxiu expected, An Zhicheng looked away as if nothing had happened after seeing him, but when he was about to sit down, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Feilu beside An Yuanxiu.

An Zhicheng sat down and looked at Zhu Feilu quietly, and then turned his gaze back to An Yuanxiu.

An Yuanxiu also obviously noticed his father's gaze at Zhu Feilu, the two glanced at each other, An Zhicheng noticed that his son's expression fluctuated significantly after he looked at Zhu Feilu, but he finally just withdrew his gaze and opened the information in his hand to browse.

Seeing An Zhicheng's reaction, An Yuanxiu, who was afraid that Zhu Feilu's identity would be exposed, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Feilu, who was worried, was like everyone in the venue, completely ignoring the eye contact between An Yuanxiu's father and son, waiting for An Zhicheng to open his mouth to preside over the meeting.

An Zhicheng flipped through the summary of the recent situation submitted to him, and the results of each investigation tended to be an accident, although the coincidence of so many accidents at the same time is very low, but from the perspective of metaphysics, there is really nothing suspicious.

Ahn put down the information and announced the results of "70% of the current investigations have been identified as accidents", but the high coincidence of such a large-scale outbreak of accidents at the same time is really incredible.

"What do you think about such coincidences that shouldn't exist?" Ahn did not draw a direct conclusion, but asked everyone who participated in the meeting.

The people below, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't have any opinions for a while. An Yuanxiu also hugged his chest with one hand and pressed his chin against the other, unable to find a breakthrough point in the problem.

Seeing that everyone was communicating in a low voice or silent, and could not draw an accurate conclusion from the coincidence side, An Zhicheng simply took everyone to change the direction of thinking.

"Whether there is a coincidence or not cannot be proven, it is still from the possibility of 'artificial', whether you feel suspicious or strange things happened during the investigation, and whether it has anything to do with your customers can be recalled."

After Ahn Zhicheng proposed another angle, everyone finally found a certain direction, and after asking each other and discussing for a while, someone finally proposed something unusual.

"Mr. Ahn." A man sitting in the middle of the Orthodox position raised his hand after pondering alone for a moment.

After Ahn raised his hand, the man said something he had heard during his investigation.

"This matter has nothing to do with the customer in charge of my investigation, but I occasionally heard from their helper." The man stood up and continued after receiving Ahn Zhicheng's affirmation.

"That day, during the investigation, I heard the small talk of the helper, and a lady said that although there have been many unlucky people like their family recently, her niece's patron Wei family has been very lucky recently."

"Which Wei family?" Hearing this, someone in the room asked.

"The Donghu Wei family, ordinary people who are not within the scope of the Metaphysical Society's services, should be a family that doesn't know the existence of the Metaphysical Realm, so I didn't think much about it when I heard this information, but now that I think about it, there is still something suspicious." The man replied.

"The ups and downs of this business sea, no one can say, but it's a bit far-fetched to be connected with recent events that have been very smooth recently." This has been questioned.

The man was not in a hurry when he heard this, and then said: "That's right, at first I thought it had nothing to do with this incident, but I didn't care about it after hearing it, but then I ......."

The man took out another document from under the recent investigation report distributed by the Metaphysical Society before the meeting, and handed it to the order-keeper standing around the venue, asking him to help hand over the information to An Zhicheng.

"Later, when I checked the families related to the patrons, I learned that the recent situation of the Wei family can be summed up by luck."

"Let's talk about several large and small projects, not to mention, the companies that their son-in-law invested in in the early years of playing tickets were already about to go bankrupt, and they have all suddenly come back to life recently, and it is said that they even won the jackpot by buying a random lottery ticket."

The man saw that everyone was still pondering, so he added another sentence of his thoughts: "Such a sudden burst of luck may not be a coincidence, but when it is put together with the recent coincidence of memorizing words, people have to associate them, not to mention that he is an ordinary family that should not know the existence of the metaphysical world." ”

Hearing this, everyone seemed to have found the direction, and they all looked through the information in their hands to see if there was any relevant information, but because the Wei family was an ordinary family, the suspicion was basically lifted during the basic investigation, and everyone could not find the information.

As soon as Qi Yaang heard the Wei family, he turned his head and said a few words to his uncle, and after being confirmed by his uncle, Qi Yaang opened his mouth.

"The Donghu Wei family is one of the competitors of the Wu family, our old patron of the Qi family, but the correlation is not very strong, because the two families only have a small overlapping competition in business, and according to the Wu family, the Wei family really does not know the existence of the metaphysical world."

After An Zhicheng heard Qi Yaang's introduction, he looked through the information submitted by the man, and then looked at the information of the An family, and after a while, he looked up and replied: "That's right, this time the area of responsibility is reassigned, the Wu family is in charge of the An family, and there is the Wei family in the list of past conflicts provided by the Wu family, but because the correlation is very small and the other party does not know the existence of the metaphysical world, it is only a basic exclusion, and the result of the investigation is that there is no problem." ”

Hearing An Zhicheng say that there was nothing wrong with the investigation results of the An family, everyone was not sure that the Wei family had something to do with "walking back words", you look at me and I look at you, they are a little at a loss.

At this time, An Yuanxiu, who had been thinking about it since just now, opened his mouth.

"But the results of Anjia's investigation do not necessarily mean that they are accurate."
