I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 123 - Thousand Faces’ Clue

Chapter 123 -123 Thousand Faces’ Clue

Hearing Xiaocao’s pitiful tone on the phone, pretending to be a frail little girl, Wang Qiang laughed on the other end.

If he didn’t know how crazy Xiaocao was, Wang Qiang would have actually believed her act.

“You don’t need to worry about food,”

“I’ll have a colleague prepare a portion for you.”

Wang Qiang said with a laugh.

“Hehe~”

...

“Thanks, Officer Wang!”

Achieving her goal, Xiaocao burst into laughter.

Hearing Xiaocao’s laughter, Wang Qiang rolled his eyes on the other end.

“How much is the meal fee? I’ll pay!”

Xiaocao said with a chuckle.

“Forget about the money, it’s just a meal box ordered by the city bureau, not even worth much.”

“Although we’re not exactly rolling in funding either, having one more or one less of you doesn’t make a difference.”

Wang Qiang said, still laughing, on the other end.

“However, the meal standard for tasks isn’t high, so just make do with what you get,”

Wang Qiang added.

“No problem, as long as I have something to eat!”

Upon hearing Wang Qiang’s words, Xiaocao replied with a laugh.

Before she had Golden Finger, Xiaocao also juggled various part-time jobs and lived through tough days.

During those desperate times, forget about meal boxes.

She had days when she survived on just two steamed buns and plain water.

Even now, under the guidance of Hot Noodles and being worth over a billion, she never lived extravagantly. Most of her meals were from street food stalls or fast-food restaurants.

So, for her, eating a meal box was not really settling for less.

“Okay, contact me anytime if there’s any situation,”

Wang Qiang said before hanging up the phone.

Xiaocao put down her phone and lay on the bed.

Thinking about her current situation.

These days, full of dangers, were exhausting but really thrilling.

Xiaocao actually found it interesting.

Fun!

Playful!

Recap the clues known so far.

Her few friends, now, were all unreliable.

Even more, all required her to be cautious.

Wanqing, the only one cleared of suspicion, had also become a tool for others, completely untrustworthy.

But fortunately, there was Wang Qiang, the good cop, her new friend.

Song Lin also counted as half a friend.

“Thankfully, I still have one and a half friends,”

Xiaocao murmured with a chuckle.

Just then, the screen of Xiaocao’s phone lit up.

Xiaocao picked up her phone and glanced at it.

It was a WeChat message!

“Eh?”

“Who could it be?”

Xiaocao muttered, unlocked her phone, and opened WeChat.

The message was from Zhi Qi.

[Zhi Qi: Xiaocao, are you still at the hotel?]

Seeing Zhi Qi’s message, Xiaocao squinted her eyes, but a question arose in her heart.

Was the person chatting with her on WeChat really Zhi Qi?

Considering this, Xiaocao didn’t reply to Zhi Qi’s message. Instead, she swiped through her phone screen, reviewing her chat history with Zhi Qi.

The more she read, the tighter her brows knitted.

There was a problem!

There was a problem with this chat history!

The likelihood of the person using Zhi Qi’s WeChat to chat with her being Zhi Qi herself was very slim.

“That person impersonated by Thousand Faces…”

“Could it possibly be Zhi Qi?”

Xiaocao murmured to herself.

Although the person tried hard to mimic Zhi Qi’s chatting style, Xiaocao still noticed a few minor discrepancies.

It seemed that from the beginning, it hadn’t been Zhi Qi who was chatting with her.

“I was careless!”

“I can’t believe I didn’t discover this before.”

Fang Xiaocao muttered in annoyance.

Turning over to sit up in bed, Fang Xiaocao reviewed the chat records with Zhi Qi one by one.

After confirming several times and comparing them to what she remembered of Zhi Qi’s chatting habits, she tried to discern if any messages were actually sent by Zhi Qi himself.

Fang Xiaocao wanted to see if the Zhi Qi she knew was still there…

Or rather…

Still alive!

Was it two people using Zhi Qi’s WeChat to talk to her, or had it always been the same person.

If it was two people, then Zhi Qi might still be alive, just with someone else using his phone.

If from the beginning to end, it was only one person’s traces, then…

Zhi Qi might already be dead!

Or rather…

The current Zhi Qi is Thousand Faces!

“Catching a Thousand Faces is still good news.”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

After reviewing all the chat records, Fang Xiaocao blinked, her face bewildered as she put down the phone.

“Something’s not right here!”

“These chat records…”

“Why do they show three people’s traces?”

After the comparison, Fang Xiaocao was completely baffled.

She had actually found typing habits of three different people in her chat records with Zhi Qi.

Fang Xiaocao’s CPU was overheating.

This was totally beyond her expectations.

And…

None of these three typing habits belonged to Zhi Qi.

Fang Xiaocao irritably raked her fingers through her hair, feeling that if this continued, she would soon turn into a bald sweetheart.

“Could it be that Zhi Qi is really dead?”

“The current Zhi Qi is Thousand Faces of Blacklist.”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

Nowadays, nobody can be without their phones.

And nobody can be without WeChat.

Work, chatting, life…

WeChat has long been integrated into the lives of ordinary people.

Especially for someone like Zhi Qi, a boss of a big company.

Even though he’s only an interim boss, there are still plenty of work-related matters.

Phones and WeChat are essential work tools; how could they be in someone else’s possession for a long time?

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaocao’s gaze gradually turned cold, combining these clues, it was almost certain that Zhi Qi was probably gone.

Zhi Qi was the one mentioned by Hot Noodles, the one replaced by Thousand Faces.

“If Zhi Qi is Thousand Faces, then between Wen Shi and Yun Luoshu, there must be someone who has been trying to take me down.”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

“Wen Shi and Yun Luoshu…”

“Who could it be?”

Fang Xiaocao whispered to herself.

Fang Xiaocao deduced that the person using Zhi Qi’s WeChat to talk to her was one being Thousand Faces, who is the current Zhi Qi, one being either Wen Shi or Yun Luoshu, and the last person, must be Su Wanqing!

The person exploiting Su Wanqing was among these three.

“This is actually a great discovery.”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

For Fang Xiaocao, this was indeed good news.

She had narrowed down all suspects to just her circle of close friends.

Beforehand, Fang Xiaocao was wondering if the person using Su Wanqing might be an outsider.

If so, that would be even more troublesome.

Now that the scope had narrowed, Fang Xiaocao’s hair was also saved.

“Hmm…”

“This theory makes sense!”

The more she thought about it, the more Fang Xiaocao felt it was plausible.

If Zhi Qi had been replaced by Thousand Faces, then with the capabilities of Thousand Faces and Blacklist, it was completely doable to achieve the kind of record described by Hot Noodles, where investments never fail.

Even if an investment faced issues, with Blacklist as a backup, there were no real issues.

If there were issues, they could straighten them out.
