"So, I have this theory," Lan Wangji started to voice his opinion to the motley crew. They were highly intelligent individuals and even better as a group, so they were the best option as a sounding board. "What if, the real thief also had access to Lan's Tech security feeds, and they saw Mo Xiang lurking around for information to give to Jin Guangshan, but they did not know it. So when somehow my mother stole the body back, they suspected that Mo Xiang was the one who stole the body, since she was the only one who was around at the time of the theft. So they went after her in an obvious way, which made her escape to Japan. And when they could not find her, they threatened to kill Mo Xuanyu, to lure her back to the country. Unfortunately Mo Xuanyu was killed first by Meng Yiran, who happened to be Meng Yao's sister. Or, another scenario, Jin Zixun, who now we know had connections to Kingpin, paid Meng Yiran to do the bullying, which went horribly wrong, while he was supposed to kidnap and maybe sell Mo Xuanyu as a slave. Or, knowing the little pervert's mind,  he just plainly want to rape Mo Xuanyu."

"And Jin Zixun somehow was in the middle of all those drugs, rapes and murder." Shen Qingqiu thought about it. "It actually makes sense. Now we only have to find the connection between Kingpin, Jin Zixun, the rape, your theft, and whether Mo Xiang is still alive or not."

"I think Mo Xiang is already dead. What kind of a mother who did not come back for her own child's funeral? But the key here is Jin Zixun. He was connected to the first murder, Mo Xuanyu's death, and his lackey was talking to an associate of Kingpin. We need to find him."

"I'm searching for Jin Zixun's digital track right now." Liu Qingge started to work on his laptop.

"That actually reminds me. Remember the property theft by Meng Yao?" Lan Wangji's mind suddenly clicked. "He owned the land and the building where the anonymous underground sex club is at. And the cash withdrawal was done in the vicinity of that club. I thought he probably just leased the property to someone else, but what if it's not the case?" He rubbed his chin in a gesture of concentration. "What are the odds that Meng Yao is also Kingpin's subordinate?"

"It actually fits. Meng Yao provided the place and the means to distribute the 'slaves' and the drugs. He could use the money he took from your brother's account, and maybe even his name, to bribe the authority. And if we throw high-end auto thefts into the mix too, we have Jin Zixun driving that Lamborghini Sian, which was confiscated by Xianxian." Shen Qingqiu also went into deep thought mode. "The 'customers' of the sex club were also not your average people, who obviously had money to buy exotic and one-of-a-kind car."

"We should check the camera from the ATM machine at the time the perp withdrew it, and Meng Yao’s, Meng Airan’s and Jin Zixun's digital tracks, to see if somehow they were crossing paths somewhere." Lan Wangji talked to Liu Qingge. "I have a feeling that these cases are actually bigger than we thought."

"Oh, I connected Xiao Hei to your phone, Lan Wangji, and Dianxia to your’s, Hua Cheng. You guys can do your own searching and hacking now via your respective smart cars." Liu Qingge suddenly quipped, since he really forgot about it.

"Dianxia?" Xie Lian looked at Hua Cheng in question, which made Hua Cheng blush.

"I named my car, a red Bugatti Divo, Dianxia. Well, more accurately, the A.I inside."

"Ah, I am flattered, Hua Cheng. Perhaps we should go for a ride in it someday, soon?" Xie Lian couldn't help but feel fondness for the very handsome man in front of him, Morningstar or no Morningstar.

"You guys should be bait for Kingpin's operation with your crazy cars. It will surely attract his attention fast. With the Sian snatched from right under his nose, Jin Zixun would surely look for another one." Liu Qingge gave them his opinion. He was more of a bike person than a sports car one, so he did not understand the fascination about them.

"You should use Suibian then, after all, it was Jin Zixun's in the first place, right? It will be easier to bait them with something that they know was theirs." Wei Wuxian came back exactly five minutes later and plopped himself on Lan Wangji's lap as he often did unconsciously. "Catch me up."

They all told Wei Wuxian about Lan Wangji's theory about Kingpin, Jin Zixun, Meng Yao, the sex club and the use of Lan Xichen's name, while he nodded and think about it all.

"I have a theory here." Wei Wuxian said after he was caught up with the current talk. "What if the theft of the body somehow was connected to the Kingpin? I mean, Meng Yao obviously had access to the security feed, he owned the sex house's property, the money that he embezzled was taken by someone in the vicinity of the sex house, and all happened ever since he took over Lan Xichen's private account. What if he was the one who did it under the command of Kingpin, just like Lan Zhan said? It would all make sense then. The theft, the sex club, the rape, which I thought it might be Jin Zixun's doing to test the merchandise, knowing how fucked up he is. We may have to find the first victim to confirm it. Shu Ye, wasn't it?"

"Well, coincidentally, look where I found Jin Zixun's current whereabouts." Liu Qingge pointed to the blinking dots on his laptop which indicated the location of the man they were all looking for.

"Well, well, ain't that a coincidence." Wei Wuxian grinned. "Lan Zhan, we shall go out and have fun tonight."

Yuwen Xing was observing Wei Wuxian from afar, while she chatted with Jiang Yanli. Jiang Yanli was a pleasant girl, with quiet determination, and a solid future plan. She liked her. And she was good for her firstborn. She heard about the problems at the Lan's Tech headquarter and felt disappointed in how her first son handled things. Thank god for Wangji, who swooped in and fixed the problem, and even created a preventative measure strong enough to prevent future mishaps.

She knew from a long time ago that Xichen was a weak-willed child. He didn't have the guts of the Yuwens, nor the wisdom of Lans. But instead of being disappointed, she probably had to do something drastic for her son to grow up. She always had her suspicions of the twink, Meng Yao, ever since his first day, because no one was that perfect unless they had something to hide. But Xichen, being Xichen, ignored all the red signs and just went ahead with his business. 

Somehow, she wished that Xichen had a quarter of Wangji's ruthlessness, but then again, he was always the soft hearted one. Maybe she needed to have a heart-to-heart with Xichen soon, to find out what exactly it was that he wanted to do in his life, instead of forcing him to take over the Lan's Tech.

"So, Yanli, I heard that you have applied to Cordon Bleu? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Ah, thank you Madam Yuwen, but I have everything under control and I will start my attendance from the next month." Jiang Yanli answered Yuwen Xing in her low and pleasant voice. However, Jiang Yanli could not take her eyes off the disappearing back of the raven haired girl. How come She looked so much like the little girl who helped her - Xianxian? They were almost identical. "By the way, Ma'am, is Wei Ying… Wangji's girlfriend?" She had  heard the rumors about Lan Wangji’s new girlfriend  and she had been shocked with the speed at which Lan Wangji had moved on from his previous girlfriend’s death. It had made her question Lan Wangji’s devotion to Mo Xuanyu, if his heart was so easy to change. Even now, the thought was hard to grasp, since she witnessed first hand how doting Lan Wangji had been towards Mo Xuanyu.

"She is actually his fiance." Yuwen Xing smiled when she saw that Wei Wuxian sat on Lan Wangji's lap comfortably while she circled her arms around his neck, and her son held her waist tight, like a possessive man he is.

Jiang Yanli was struck speechless. That was… way too fast. 

But when she saw them together, they fit very well, and somehow, the girl reminded her of Mo Xuanyu. Well, anyway, it was not her business. She was here by Madam Yuwen's invitation to get to know her better. And although she felt quite pressured to leave a good impression, she was trying to be her true self. Did not matter if no one liked it, as long as she loved herself. She also had started to learn self-defense so she could rely on herself more instead of other people. She was fully determined to become the best version of herself, instead of the weak, pushover, useless, plain Jiang Yanli.

"Yanli, the others are going to Crimson Butterfly after this, are you going with them?" Yuwen Xing asked her, since Lan Xichen was nowhere to be found. He was probably having a talk with his father about Meng Yao's case.

"I think I may have to pass, I have to prepare for my move to the dorm for the new semester." Since her mother did not approve of her change of school subject. Thankfully her father helped her, behind her mother's back. She was a terrifying woman, Madam Yu.

"It is good to have persistence, especially since it is for your future. Please let me know if I can help you in any way, don't be shy. Okay?" Yuwen Xing patted Jiang Yanli's hand. She was fond of this quiet girl, and she did not approve of her mother's method on how to teach her to be obedient. She was not a dog, for chrissake. Hopefully Xichen knew what was best for him and treated this girl right, unlike those cheap whores he liked.
