After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 223 - 218: Miss Ji, Can We Talk?

Ji Tian rummaged through his room again and in a corner, she found a wooden token that had been forgotten. It was inscribed with the character for "Li," probably too worn and battered, so the group of searchers had thrown it into the corner.

It was an identity card, crudely carved with the words "Li Hongjin, 99th generation descendant of Ancient Medicine."

Beside it, there was a blank space, with the inscription:

Direct Disciple, Ji Tian.

Though the carving was ugly, it acknowledged her identity. Even Li Shizhong had to respectfully address her as "Grandma" in front of her.

One could imagine how senior Li Hongjin’s generation was.

Li Shizhong and his direct lineage’s Ancient Medicine had no connection, it was just that Ancient Medicine had been passed down through the ages and had gradually declined. Although they were both from the Li Family, there was a difference between the direct lineage and the collateral branches.

What they learned were entirely different essences. It was just that Li Hongjin had withdrawn from the Ancient Medical World nearly twenty years ago, and Li Shizhong had been making money and enjoying the prestige and honor that the main family brought him, all the while leveraging his status as the top leader in the medical community.

Ji Tian took the token in her hand and left the things on the ground untouched; after calling the police, they would come to search the area.

Her delivery of beverages was unsuccessful, so she detoured to the police station instead.

Ji Tian reported a missing person after more than three days, and the duty officer at the front desk glanced up at her and asked, "Name of the missing person, age, ID number, where does he live?"

"Li Hongjin, 75 years old, living in the Li Family’s old residence in Jinyang City, Capital City... his ID..." Ji Tian said helplessly, "He seems not to have an ID card. He is the inherited successor of the Li Family’s Ancient Medicine, you should be able to find him with a search."

The duty officer was momentarily surprised, but quickly found the person in the database. The news of his return had even made the Capital City Daily.

"Who are you to him? Processing a missing person requires a family member to confirm on-site."

"I am his direct disciple. He no longer has any family members in the world, and as for Li Shizhong, he doesn’t share a blood relationship with him, so I am his family. My name is Ji Tian, from the Ji Family of Capital City."

The duty officer: "..."

6. The only Ji from Capital City, besides the one from the Four Major Tycoons, who would dare to claim such an association, was not someone he could think of a second instance of.

So he took the matter even more seriously. It was the first time he heard that Li Hongjin had a direct disciple to carry on his legacy. Back in the day, those seeking Li Hongjin’s treatment could line up from the north to the south of Capital City. This even made the news, calling him "Yama’s nemesis," since those who were almost ready to report to hell could be saved by his divine medical skill.

"We will dispatch officers immediately to search for him, but given the length of time he’s been missing, the chances of finding him are very slim."

"Please send your strongest police force to search for him. The longer he’s missing, the more danger he is in, thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Before leaving, Ji Tian handed him a badge with the character "black" on it: "I found this in my master’s room, which can preliminarily be determined as evidence of a home invasion kidnapping. You should look for more clues at his place of residence."

After exiting the police station, the duty officer went to arrange things, even notifying Li Shizhong to come over.

She didn’t linger any longer. Upon returning, Ji Weinan was studying with tears in her eyes, Ji Qilin was also home, standing next to Ji Weinan with a clothes hanger in his hand, while Tang Yu was munching on chips with a laptop in front of him, his fingers flying over the keyboard.

Ji Tian walked over and glanced at the screen. The numbers and codes were dizzyingly complex, yet he read through them ten lines at a time with great concentration.

"Cousin, are you a hacker?"

Hearing Ji Tian’s voice, Tang Yu stopped what he was doing and looked up at her with a smile, "Yes, I’m a hacker. I’ve recently taken on a gig to help my boss catch someone."

"Who?"

"You wouldn’t understand even if I told you, it’s pretty complicated. See this little character made up of four blocks? I’m trying to determine her exact location. She’s really too bold, even daring to say ’catch me if you can.’ If that’s not an insult, what is!" Tang Yu’s tone became indignant as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Ji Tian’s expression grew increasingly strange. Wasn’t this the hacker she used to mock while trying to capture her? And now this hacker was her cousin?

What a... monkey business.

Clearly, after she had hacked his computer, it had taken him several days to restart his search for her. Ji Tian felt somewhat at a loss for words.

So her cousin was helping the people of Black City A3 District?

Suddenly, Ji Tian had a brainwave and casually said to Tang Yu, "If you catch her, will you deliver her to the person who hired you? Did you receive a reward?"

"Of course, there’s a reward. If my boss doesn’t skimp on anything else, he definitely has money."

"Who is your boss?"

"You should have also seen..." Tang Yu almost let it slip before hastily swallowing the word "seen."

He cleared his throat, "You wouldn’t know him anyway, why are you so curious? Go study nicely; I have to go back to my room to continue working."

After he spoke, he quickly carried his laptop and ran upstairs.

Ji Tian’s eyes shimmered. Tang Yu’s boss was someone from Black City A3 District, and they wanted to capture her solely because she had stumbled upon the secrets of that black city and wanted to silence her. Was Tang Yu about to say that she should have also seen him?

Was it someone she knew?

Or someone she was not very familiar with but could still meet?

Coincidentally, she was very eager to meet this person behind the scenes.

Once Ji Tian returned to her room, she logged onto her computer, and sure enough, as soon as she appeared, Tang Yu began to lock her location. After tricking him in circles, Ji Tian stopped her location at an abandoned chemical plant.

Her screen was lighting up red, indicating she had been exposed. The remaining question was when Tang Yu’s "boss" would come to find her.

The next day was Saturday.

The show "Brilliant Brain" wasn’t usually very popular, but on this day, it shot up to the top five on the trending searches.

The reason was that Shen Zhiyi was invited by the production crew to the set of "Brilliant Brain." Her reputation as a genius student had long been famous across the entire Capital City. Everyone was curious to see what kind of waves her sudden arrival would make. Another reason was Ji Tian; ever since her academic performance improved, she had faced much skepticism until those who insulted her had their accounts banned, with the worst offenders detained for several days and fined. Only then did things quiet down.

Ji Tian didn’t pay much attention to the online gossip. There was a tracker on her phone that was monitoring Tang Yu’s location. If he took people to the abandoned chemical plant, she could swoop in and close the net.

However, oddly enough, there was no movement all night.

Upon arriving at the venue, there were fans standing on both sides of the entrance. Shen Zhiyi arrived under the escort of Qin Wantang, wearing a clean smile and greeting the enthusiastic fans on both sides.

It wasn’t until her appearance that eager cheers surged from all around: "Sweetie Tian!!! Sister loves you!!!"

"Sweetie! Sweetie! Mom loves you! Keep it up; you must become the top newcomer!"

"Sweet Sister, woo-hoo, you really came. Seeing you in person, you are really sweet and beautiful. Sweet Sister, Sweet Sister, I love you!"

Hearing the fans’ chants, Ji Tian was experiencing the passion of a live audience for the first time. Normally, she just saw little black dots picking fights online as if they harbored resentment against the wealthy.

Surprisingly, this feeling wasn’t bad. She smiled with her eyes curved, waving and greeting, "Hello, everyone."

"Ah! Sweet Sister waved at me! Sweet Sister, I will always support you."

"Whoever insults Sweetie Tian is going against me! I’ll set up more than ten accounts to blast them!"

Ji Tian paused in front of them, slightly raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "No need, I can shut them up during my live stream without anyone daring to speak."

The fans’ eyes lit up, and they said excitedly, "Is there an exact time? I want to watch!"

"Soon."

Leaving them with that, Ji Tian entered the building. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

But in a less crowded corridor, she was called out, "Miss Ji, wait a minute, can we talk?"

Ji Tian turned to look at the impeccably made-up Qin Wantang, her smile slightly fading as she tilted her head and asked, "What advice do you have for me?"
