Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 105: The Private Detective Begins Investigation (2)

Returning to her senses, Ye Nai instructed the private detective to continue investigating. Two hundred thousand yuan was no small sum; without collateral, they wouldn’t have been able to borrow money. She wanted to know what her parents had mortgaged and who had introduced them to the lending company.

Ye Nai even explicitly stated that she wanted to know if there was any connection between the broker who introduced her parents to stock funds and the lending company.

For this, she added another ten thousand yuan per person.

No sooner had she finished contacting the private detective than she received a call from her parents. This time, there were no excuses about her coming home for the New Year; they simply wanted her to give them three hundred thousand yuan, and after receiving the money, they would stop bothering her.

It was clear they were asking for the two hundred and ten thousand yuan to pay off the debt, with principal and interest included, and heaven knows what they intended to do with the remaining ninety thousand.

Ye Nai, of course, didn’t give them a single cent, offering only one thousand yuan, take it or leave it, and hung up the phone amid the renewed crying and screaming of the three children.

This time, she heard very clearly that while scolding, they were also telling her younger siblings that it was all because their eldest sister wouldn’t give money to the family.

Ye Nai couldn’t bother to listen to their nonsense.

Having received the money, the private detective worked efficiently and, after following leads for two days, had results on the third day.

Two reports were separately given to Ye Nai, detailing the relationships between the people involved, their addresses, and their usual hangouts.

The fund broker was easily investigated. Ye Yu and Yu Qing had been contacting the broker every few days to inquire about the funds. This time, the private detective had followed them and captured a video of the couple arguing with the broker. In the video, her mother, Yu Qing, clearly stated that the broker had bewitched them into switching funds and had introduced Beiling Credit.

The fund broker’s name, photo, and address were clearly provided to Ye Nai, along with an urgent piece of news: the broker had bought a train ticket for tonight, the evidence of which was a stealthily captured image of the train ticket information on the broker’s phone— the seven o’clock train.

One of the private detectives, being exceptionally well-connected, had managed to find out about the suspicious owner behind the lending company.

It very likely involved an underground gang in Dongpo City, the Beidou Gang, rumored to be associated with the Beidou Sect.

Ye Nai looked at the report with a puzzled face.

Beidou Sect, Beidou Gang, what nonsense; she could perform the North Star Divine Fist herself.

Last time it was a criminal force in Anyuan City, this time the Beidou Gang in Dongpo City; does that mean only East Ridge City is clean?

Ye Nai thought for a moment. It made sense that East Ridge City, being so small and having a Secret Realm, with many eyes fixated on it, would have no criminal forces surviving here, right?

Even if criminal forces can’t exist here, related organizations can survive by setting roots in East Ridge City under a guise.

The private detective came to this conclusion because he had evidence: he had a gang emblem from the Dongpo City Beidou Gang. The emblem featured the Big Dipper, with Polaris being the biggest and most shining star, symbolizing humanity moving towards rebirth under the guidance of Polaris.

The logo of the lending company in East Ridge City bore a striking resemblance, especially in its structural layout, with the significant difference being that the shining Polaris was replaced by a diamond-shaped star outlined by several lines; the company was named Beiling Credit.

Without the comparison image, Ye Nai might have thought the detective’s imagination was overactive, but with it, her thoughts raced uncontrollably.

The broker, who let her parents buy into a junk fund, knew they were losing money yet still bewitched them into investing more and introduced Beiling Credit for loans, but the precise relationship between this broker and Beiling had not been uncovered due to the limited time.

What her parents had mortgaged for the two hundred thousand yuan wasn’t found out either, but the private detective’s inquiry among employees confirmed that borrowing over one hundred thousand definitely required real estate as collateral.

If it really was their house that was mortgaged, failing to pay the money meant losing the house.

However, the loan hadn’t even reached its due date, and the loan company had already harassed them several times, as if they were certain his parents couldn’t repay the money.

If they couldn’t pay, so be it, Ye Nai was not going to pay for them. Adults should be responsible for their own choices.

However, if this broker was colluding with Beiling Credit and Beiling Credit had connections with Dongpo City’s Beidou Gang and Beidou Sect, she would not be so courteous.

Ye Nai bid farewell to the two private detectives, settled their fees, and wished them a happy new year.

She then put on her coat, left the hotel, rode her electric bike, avoided the main roads with surveillance, and took shortcuts to the back door of Beiling Credit’s storefront.

The back door was in an alley, with the rear walls of buildings on both sides, no residences or operating storefronts, so it was used by the nearby residents as a free parking lot, lined with electric bikes on one side and cars on the other.

Ye Nai noticed from a distance that a surveillance camera was installed above the back door. She slowly stopped behind a car, and a massive number of superpower spores flew with the wind, entering the room through cracks in the doors and windows.

Apart from the first-floor business area, everyone on the second and third floors inhaled the spores, and within two to three seconds, the fungus had grown, and regardless of what these people were doing, even if they were squatting in the toilet, they all disappeared on the spot and arrived in Ye Nai’s Fungal Space.

With the protection of the fungus, living beings could safely enter and exit the Space. They wouldn’t die immediately, but a prolonged stay could be problematic. She had not yet experimented with live humans in this way.

By the way, the six wild piglets she caught while hunting - she sold three, and there were still three left in the Space, still alive but a bit thinner due to hunger. With the Life Force of a mutant beast, they should be able to hold on for a while longer.

After gathering the people, Ye Nai rode her electric bike back the same way and headed to the broker’s home.

This person’s residence was in a relatively new community with considerable space between the buildings. It made one wonder if being a fund broker really made money to afford new properties.

Ye Nai followed the residents returning home from work into the community gate and successfully spotted someone carrying a suitcase coming out of the broker’s building.

The train was at seven o’clock in the evening, and it was only just after five. She was fortunate to have arrived in time, or else the person would have escaped.

Ye Nai didn’t approach but released superpower spores onto the person, stimulating his gastrointestinal tract, causing him to suddenly feel a tremendous urge to defecate.

Holding his suitcase in one hand and his stomach in the other, bent over, the broker hurriedly turned around and rushed back home.

Ye Nai rode her bike around the community, eventually stopping at the charging shed to wait.

The fungus inside the broker’s body provided Ye Nai with navigation, letting her know precisely when he entered his home.

Then, she removed the stimulation causing the stomach pain and gathered the person into the Space.

She had no interest in waiting for him to sit on the toilet and be halfway through his business before taking him.

Afterward, she started her electric bike and left the community, circled around the nearby streets, had dinner, and went shopping, buying a bunch of New Year’s goods.

Then, leisurely she returned to the hotel.

Upon entering her room, she locked the door, drew the curtains, and first threw the broker onto the room’s carpet.

She searched him, took off his mobile phone, watch, and other belongings, bound his hands behind his back, and pulled his trousers down to his knees. Even if he somehow managed to get up and try to escape, the trousers would hinder his movement.

Lastly, she had the fungus constrict half of his windpipe.
