 "Xiaoxiao, what a nice name,"

You can support me here too...

Charlie muttered casually, pinching the kitten's chin.

The kitten was well-behaved, half-closing its eyes and tilting its head slightly as he handled it.

Charlie was somewhat surprised and said, "This kitten is quite bold, not afraid of people at all."

Lin Wan'er smiled and nodded, saying, "Xiaoxiao is more affectionate than most stray cats. Maybe it's because it's always been bullied in the cat community, so it feels that people are more reliable than its own kind."

After saying that, she looked at Charlie's handsome face and eyebrows as he looked down, thinking to herself, "If you knew that your mother was still alive, you would be very excited, wouldn't you? For twenty years, you thought your dearest loved ones were long gone, but you never expected that your mother was still alive. There is probably nothing more comforting than this."

At this moment, Xiaoxiao, perhaps liking Charlie's gentle rubbing, slowly sat up, arched its back, and patted its two front paws back and forth a few times before snuggling into Charlie's arms.

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "It seems Xiao Xiao really likes you, Young Master."

With that, she took out her phone, opened the camera, and said, "Young Master, let me take a picture of you and Xiao Xiao."

Charlie didn't think much of it, nodded slightly, and held Xiao Xiao, looking at the camera.

Lin Wan'er pressed the shutter button, and a close-up, high-definition photo was taken. Because the lighting in the courtyard was dim, the phone automatically turned on the flash. In the photo, Charlie's sharply defined features, highlighted by the flash, looked as if an automatic beauty filter had been applied, making him even more handsome than in real life.

Lin Wan'er handed the phone to Charlie, smiling, and said, "Young Master, take a look, is it alright?"

Charlie didn't care about such things, glanced at it casually, and smiled, "It's quite good."

Lin Wan'er smiled happily, took back her phone, and then casually opened WeChat and sent the photo to Margret An.

She had never thought of taking photos of Charlie as a memento before. She wanted to take pictures of him just now, partly because she thought the image of him and his cat was harmonious, and partly because she wanted to send the photos to Margret An.

For many years, Margret An hadn't dared to get close to Charlie. Back when Charlie was in the orphanage, it might have been a little easier; her staff could secretly take some photos for her. But in recent years, Charlie's power had grown stronger, and those who had stayed by his side had gradually left and kept their distance. Seeing a recent photo of Charlie on a regular basis would probably be difficult.

At this moment, Margret An had left Kinkakuji Temple and gone to Aomori Prefecture, hundreds of kilometers away.

Aomori is the northernmost part of the Japanese mainland, famous for its apples and other cash crops.

Margret An had her own plantation there, as well as a deep-processing production line for apple-related products. Aomori's apple production accounted for half of Japan's total, and Margret An accounted for half of Aomori's apple production, with her company handling most of the export business.

After Margret An andMargret AnChangying married, in addition to helping their family make money, they also invested in numerous industries around the world using various shell companies and nominee shareholders. These included highly profitable technology, energy, and industrial enterprises, as well as less profitable small businesses. For example, their apple industry investment in Aomori was large-scale, but the actual profit was not high. However, this didn't matter to them. Their investment in Aomori was mainly due to the geographical conditions and the unique nature of the industries there, which brought them many advantages.

Aomori Prefecture has a low population density, about one-third of the average population density in Japan. The advantage of a sparsely populated area is that it's easier to hide, especially in the form of plantations, making it even harder for outsiders to discover their secrets.

Moreover, Aomori's geographical location is quite convenient for Margret An. A few hundred kilometers to the south lies the developed regions of mainland Japan, such as Tokyo and Osaka, while a few dozen kilometers to the north is Hokkaido. Aomori is separated from Hokkaido only by the Tsugaru Strait, and is connected by an undersea tunnel. To the east by ship are the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East, while to the west lies the vast Pacific Ocean. From Aomori Port, San Francisco is only seven or eight thousand kilometers

away, making it extremely convenient. Margret An controls Aomori's apple export business by acquiring large numbers of plantations and suppressing export prices and profits, making it impossible for competitors to keep up.

While others grow apples to make money, she doesn't care about profitability, resulting in the lowest profit margin. A lower profit margin naturally leads to higher cost-effectiveness for consumers.

Margret An's main purpose in controlling Aomori's apple exports is to use exports to create a transnational freight channel, allowing her to transport special goods through apple exports.

Fearing Charlie's investigation, she moved here after the passing of the Void Concealment Master, settling in her largest plantation. The hillsides were covered with apple trees, all managed by her people, and a hidden security system had been established, ensuring her safety.

At this moment, she was in her own building within the plantation, savoring apple juice she had just extracted using traditional pressing methods, when she suddenly received a photo from Lin Wan'er. Overjoyed, she held her phone in both hands, carefully examining the photo of Charlie.

She hadn't seen such a clear photo of Charlie in a long time. Looking at her son's handsome features and the rare relaxed smile as he held the kitten, her mood instantly improved.

Just then, Sister Sun entered, respectfully saying, "Madam, Jing Qing wishes to see you."

Margret An, zooming in on Charlie's photo and carefully examining her son's face, smiled and said, "Let Jing Qing in."

"Yes, Madam."

Sister Sun turned and went out, returning shortly with Jing Qing.

Jing Qing approached Margret An respectfully and said, "Madam, Jing Qing is preparing to return home. I came to say goodbye and see if you have any instructions for me."

Margret An put down her phone and smiled, saying, "Nothing to instruct me on. You've worked hard these past few days."

"Amitabha." Jing Qing clasped his hands together respectfully and said, "Madam, you flatter me. It is my honor to serve you."

Jing Qing's respect for Margret An was not flattery, but genuine.

He had previously been devoted to Buddhism, believing that all beings were equal under the Buddha. However, after successfully attaining enlightenment under Margret An's guidance, he realized that both Buddhism and Taoism were under the Heavenly Dao, and that all beings were not equal, because everyone's distance from the Heavenly Dao was different.

Take himself, for example; after enlightenment, his lifespan was decades, even centuries, longer than that of ordinary people. Was this equality among beings? Of course not.

Margret An herself hadn't attained enlightenment, so she was probably much further from the Dao than Jing Qing, who had. However, in Jing Qing's view, his opportunity to get closer to the Dao was entirely due to Margret An's support, so he should be respectful and grateful to her.

Margret An looked at Charlie's photo for a while before reluctantly putting down her phone. She first replied to Lin Wan'er, "Thank you, senior."

Then she said to Jing Qing, "You've been in Japan for a while now, which has delayed many things back home. Now that everything here is settled, you can go back and attend to your business."

Jing Qing nodded slightly and said, "I plan to leave for Tokyo later and take the earliest flight back."

Margret An smiled and said, "Okay, you can decide according to your own schedule. If you decide to leave later, I'll have someone take you there."

Meanwhile, at the top-floor villa of Zijin Villa.

Lin Wan'er smiled at Charlie and Xiao Xiao, and asked softly, "Young Master told me on the phone that you had made a new discovery. What exactly is it?"

Charlie, holding Xiao Xiao, said to Lin Wan'er, "I met Nanako today, and while chatting with her, I discovered a detail I had previously overlooked. Back then at Qixia Temple, she was enlightened by a monk named Jing Qing, which is why she was able to achieve enlightenment. I was wondering, what kind of person would be willing to risk exposing themselves to enlighten a stranger?"

Lin Wan'er's heart skipped a beat.

Charlie had noticed Monk Jing Qing; wasn't this equivalent to uncovering a corner of Margret An's cover?

So, she asked Charlie, "Young Master, do you think the identity of this Monk Jing Qing is questionable?"

"Yes," Charlie nodded emphatically.

Lin Wan'er replied, "It's difficult for me to say about such matters. For cultivators, their secrets are certainly important, but sometimes they also feel that inheritance is necessary. Just like my master, when he was in seclusion in the Ten Thousand Mountains, he still took my father and Wu Feiyan as his disciples."

As she said this, Lin Wan'er felt nauseous, because she already knew Meng Changsheng's despicable character. However, to avoid arousing Charlie's suspicion, she could only use him as an example.

Charlie, however, said, "It's understandable if it's for inheritance, but Nanako's going to Qixia Temple wasn't accidental; it was intentional."

He then recounted how Nanako had been deliberately lured by a woman in the elevator, including the fact that the woman had disappeared.

Lin Wan'er frowned upon hearing this.

She knew that once Charlie grasped the source of Nanako's enlightenment, the matter would inevitably be exposed.

Furthermore, the fact that the woman had left Aurous Hill only intensified Charlie's suspicions.

However, she also knew that Margret An was powerless to do anything about it, because Charlie had his methods. Let alone a young woman, even someone like Master Jingqing, with some cultivation but not high enough, would likely be unable to keep the secret in front of him. Once Charlie found that woman, he would find out everything.

Now, she dared not try to guide Charlie's judgment any further. She was a smart woman, and she felt that once Charlie began to notice and analyze the anomalies around him, he would approach problems with a dialectical and truth-seeking mindset. If she kept trying to mislead his judgment, he would definitely realize something was wrong.

Therefore, Lin Wan'er immediately said decisively, "I think your analysis makes a lot of sense, young master. If Cai Cai Zi was deliberately led to Qixia Temple, and then Master Jingqing appeared to enlighten her by chance, then this proves that they are definitely in cahoots, and this might become an important breakthrough!"

"Is that so!" Receiving Lin Wan'er's affirmation boosted Charlie's confidence, and he had no doubt about Lin Wan'er's previous guidance.

He said seriously, "Finding that woman now will probably be very difficult, but finding Master Jingqing shouldn't be too troublesome. As a well-known figure in the Buddhist community, his whereabouts should be relatively easy to track. Nanako said that she recently presided over the funeral arrangements for Master Kōin of Kinkaku-ji Temple in Japan, so he should be returning to China soon!"
