This ’self’ of course refers to the person Jason saw writing the diary earlier.
Was Ichiro Sakajo’s visit earlier also arranged by this ’self’?
Jason’s cautious personality cultivated in Nightless City had long decided that he would be quite wary of anyone who suddenly appeared around him, even if they appeared because of him.
Not to mention that so-called ’self’.
After all, looking at that ’diary,’ Jason could always smell a hint of conspiracy.
Master Tongshou Temple’s guidance.
Hui Lixiang’s disappearance.
Jason muttered two extremely important names involved in the events.
Hui Lixiang, the direct disappearer.
Ichiro Sakajo came to find him following the other party’s guidance.
Who could this party be?
Or perhaps, is this itself a trap?
A person hidden behind the curtains, using this name to set a trap for him.
As long as he searches… no, as long as he approaches this so-called Master Tongshou Temple, will he be doomed?
Is it because of Master Tongshou Temple himself?
Or because of the opponent’s arrangement?
Too many unknown factors!
Compared to the clue of ’Master Tongshou Temple’.
Hui Lixiang’s disappearance, undoubtedly, is much simpler.
Jason scanned through the documents in his hands, looking at a photo of a well-dressed, young and handsome gentleman, whose resume was quite impressive, having become a mid-level leader of a foreign trade company before the age of thirty, with great potential for development, without any bad habits.
No need to look at the others, Jason was sure, all the gentlemen in that stack of documents were .
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be the targets of that King-level tea artist.
Looking at this meter-high stack of documents and then at the two pages in his hands, Jason once again marveled at the skill of this King-level tea artist.
Then, Jason thought about why Hui Lixiang could repeatedly succeed.
Moments later, Jason thought of a key point.
Why are outstanding men more popular than ordinary men?
Apart from objective factors like being handsome and earning more.
There’s another more important subjective factor—
They have too many people to choose from!
If their choices were limited to one person.
Most people would obediently comply.
The rest, just a little manipulation would suffice.
With this basis, Jason thought of a crucial point.
"Does your sister have any good friends?"
Jason asked the proprietress.
It’s impossible for Hui Lixiang to do this alone; she would need a few friends to help at the very least.
Or maybe, there is even a team operating behind her.
"That guy doesn’t really have any friends."
"Nor any close people."
While serving Jason the steak, the female boss thought hard and then shook her head.
Jason nodded noncommittally and began eating his steak.
The cooking point is good, the black pepper sauce is just right, only the ingredients are average.
Jason internally critiqued.
Just a simple evaluation.
As for the ingredients?
Any kind of rare food is always pricey.
Expecting to eat such food in a roadside café is unrealistic, even though their charges are not low.
"Have you discovered anything?"
Hui Lijing looked expectantly at Jason.
You could tell, this female boss verbally expressed her disdain for her sister, cursing her as a bastard, and ’that guy’, but she still genuinely cared about her sister.
Jason nodded, swallowed the last bite of steak, then said—
"Can you give me some of her personal clothes?"
