Chapter 221 Just a Shadow
On the other side, after the group of three—from Shanqing to Shantang—left, the remaining two people looked at each other.
"Let's search." The two resigned themselves to their fate and then began to act without hesitation.
While they were fighting, the two of them didn't even forget to tidy up the things that had been scattered during the fight and put them back in their original positions.
Although the two of them were not as familiar as Jiang Qishi and Ji Hanzhang and his wife.
However, this does not mean that they have no feelings for the couple.
If there were truly no feelings involved, no one would risk their life to come here just to collect their belongings.
Yamasumi cleaned up the cosmetics that had fallen to the ground. Several years had passed, and the foundation was almost completely dried up.
She lowered her eyes, then carefully gathered up the shattered bottle and the flowing liquid, and quietly placed them back in their original positions.
To be honest, I don't know whether Jiang Qishi or Ji Hanzhang, the couple, used this cosmetic. After all, it's considered basic etiquette for them to wear makeup to important meetings.
Taking into account the difference in their status as celebrities.
Yamasumi guessed that it was more likely what Jiang Qi had used. Even if Ji Hanzhang didn't wear makeup and went to a meeting looking disheveled, no one would object.
Nearly ten years ago—Yamayu still remembers it clearly—after all, Ji Hanzhang's presence was the greatest respect for the conference at that time. Few conferences had such power that Ji Hanzhang would be dressed in full makeup and a full set of clothes to attend.
Thinking about this made Yamasumi even more upset.
This is Ji Hanzhang, who is intelligent and exceptionally talented. When Shan Yu was young, he was fortunate enough to receive a favor from Ji Hanzhang, and he has always kept it in his heart ever since, thinking that he would have some opportunity to repay it in the future.
As a result, Shan Yu never expected that the next news she would receive about Ji Hanzhang would be ten years later, when she would already be dead—she didn't even have the chance to collect Ji Hanzhang's body.
On the other side, Shan Zhi was rummaging through boxes and cabinets to see where Jiang Xingni had put the documents.
"We can only hope that Jiang Xingni won't throw it away," Shan Zhi sighed and said quietly.
Hearing Yamaji's words, Yamasumi, who had finally restored the entire bedroom to its original state within her capabilities, turned to look at him: "She won't throw it away."
For some reason, Yamasumi believed it with unwavering conviction.
"That's an inheritance left by her parents. Even if she doesn't understand anything, Jiang Xingni would never just throw it all away," Shan Yu said.
"Moreover, I believe that Ji Hanzhang's daughter is definitely not a fool," she said in a particularly calm tone.
After thinking it over, Shan Zhi still felt that Shan Yu was right.
If Jiang Qishi and Ji Hanzhang's daughter weren't smart, he would really doubt the validity of genetics.
"So here's the question," he said quietly. "We all know their daughter isn't stupid, so where will she put such a significant inheritance from her parents?"
How can the two of them find it?
Shan Zhi and Shan Yu looked at each other for a while, and they both saw the confusion and helplessness in each other's eyes.
That's a good question.
"Never mind that," Yamasumi finally replied after a long pause. "Let's just look for it first."
The two sighed and resignedly began to search.

"Hidden Order will have common topics with them," Jiang Xingni said to the system without hesitation.
They too are products of the information blockade imposed on the world of superhumans.
After analyzing what kind of organization this group of people belonged to, Jiang Xingni's questions were finally answered.
Why is their personnel allocation so different from that of people with superpowers? Why are there more ordinary people than people with superpowers in a field team? Why do they still choose ordinary people to do field work in such a dangerous situation?
The reason for all of this is actually quite simple.
It's just because there aren't that many people with superpowers.
Given the scarcity of superhuman resources, ordinary people like Shan Qing, who have received training and possess sufficient combat capabilities, must stand at the forefront.
Why does the community of people with superpowers keep collecting children with superpowers and taking them away from their parents?
Besides the common reason that superpowers are too dangerous and require someone to teach them how to use them, there is also a reason that the beliefs of superpowered individuals towards ordinary people must be cultivated from a young age. They cannot ensure that superpowered individuals who grow up in the outside world will still follow their beliefs.
Therefore, they ensured that every superhuman who awakened their abilities was brought under their command, leaving none for the outside world. Characters like Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming, who only awakened their abilities after they had grown up enough to be outside the world, and finally came into contact with the truth of the world, can be said to be the most extraordinary of the extraordinary.
For the "Dragon Group"—Jiang Xingni still calls them that, not knowing their real names—it is truly not easy to assemble a group of people with superpowers under these circumstances.
However, Jiang Xingni genuinely felt that if they didn't seem like an organization within the world of superpowered individuals, they could directly try to win over the protagonist.
At that point, the number of villainous organizations the protagonist will need to deal with will naturally increase significantly.
Lu Ming shook his head, subconsciously tugged at Jiang Xingni's sleeve, and when he looked up, his eyes were quietly looking at Jiang Xingni.
"Sister, did you kill the things that killed my parents?" the little girl asked softly.
Before Jiang Xingni could answer, Shan Qing stepped forward, took off the goggles in front of him, and then slowly put them on Lu Ming's face.
Lu Ming blinked.
Through the glass lens, I finally saw the grotesque corpse that hadn't yet completely dissipated.
She was stunned for a moment.
Then he gazed in the direction of the eerie creature.
"So that's how it is," she said softly.
That's how it is.
Shanqing looked at Luming and silently answered in his heart.
Jiang Xingni simply stared at them quietly through the mask.
She finally realized something with absolute certainty.
It was as if she had been watching her parents, whom she had never met and whom she had never known much in her memory, through their group.
Even if they saw "Jiang Xingni", what they saw would not be Jiang Xingni himself.
Rather, it was the presence of traces of Jiang Qishi and Ji Hanzhang in their memories.
They looked for the person they were more familiar with in Jiang Xingni.
What they saw was definitely not Jiang Xingni.
Just like now, what Shanqing sees in Luming is more of her own reflection.
