This is Yundu, the commercial capital of the country.
After returning from Nanyang, Jiang Wen didn't go back to Guanli but came directly to Yundu because Wang Sheng had called him right after he entered the country, saying that his daughter, Wang Luxin, might need his help.

Jiang Wen figured he didn't have anything important to do, so he readily agreed.
After asking Shen Yueshu to help send Moxiang back, he flew to Yundu on his sword.
This time, he was helping because he couldn't stand seeing someone slander an honest person.
Jiang Wen, of course, wasn't happy and immediately stood up to stop it, lest the girl write a 'little composition' online to slander the uncle, causing him to be socially dead.
In this day and age, the internet is so developed, and there are more and more 'little compositions'.
As long as you open an account, regardless of whether the other party is human or ghost, you can write a 'little composition' at will and cause innocent people to be socially dead.
If Jiang Wen hadn't stepped forward to stop this, the woman, relying on the advantage of being a 'vulnerable' female, could have taken a few photos and ruined the uncle's reputation.
Even worse, it could have led to netizens doxxing the uncle, leading to cyberbullying.
At that time, it might have even led to a death.
Putting these things out of his mind, Jiang Wen picked up the phone and called Wang Luxin.
...
As a junior in college, Wang Luxin wasn't worried about her future, but recently, something had been bothering her.
Returning to the dormitory.
Wang Luxin glanced at the dormitory and found that someone was missing.
"Where's Jiayi?" Wang Luxin asked suspiciously.
Li Jiayi was Wang Luxin's roommate, with a quiet personality, and was considered the study 'guru' in the dormitory.
Every day in the dormitory, she was either studying or reading, rarely going out with others.
The fact that she wasn't in the dormitory today really surprised Wang Luxin.
She didn't expect Li Jiayi, who was usually so quiet, to actually be having an online romance.
Wasn't she afraid that the other party was a scammer?
Thinking of this, Wang Luxin had some thoughts in her heart.
She knew Li Jiayi's family situation, and if she was really scammed by this swindler, Li Jiayi might not even have living expenses for this semester.
She couldn't let this scammer succeed, Wang Luxin got up to look for Li Jiayi.
Before she could do anything, the dormitory door was pushed open.
Li Jiayi, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, walked in looking tired, her expression seemed not so good.
Wang Luxin took Li Jiayi's expression into her eyes.
"You're back," Wang Luxin said.
"Yeah," Li Jiayi nodded, without much expression on her face.
She held her phone tightly, sitting in her seat in a daze.
Wang Luxin looked at her expression, thought for a while, and continued, "You've been very busy lately."
"Oh, I haven't been free lately," Li Jiayi said absentmindedly, looking at her phone.
"Jiayi, you've been going out so often, could it be that you have a boyfriend?" Wang Luxin asked tentatively.
Li Jiayi's movements froze, and she coughed a few times with difficulty.
"No, I don't."
"I thought so too, I haven't seen you get close to any boys usually," Wang Luxin said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's hard to find a boyfriend in reality."
"You can have an online romance, haha.
A thousand-mile marriage is tied with a single thread," a roommate responded to Wang Luxin's words, and then a wave of discussion about online romance was set off in the dormitory.
Wang Luxin looked at Li Jiayi's uncomfortable appearance and casually added a few words: "It's okay to have an online romance, but be careful of scams.
There are a lot of scams recently, and they're all about asking for money at every turn.
You haven't even met the other party and you're spending money, you don't even know if the other party is male or female."
"That's right, I heard that many people are pretending to be women to scam men's money."
"Who would fall for that, that's too stupid, right?"
"Maybe some stupid people will fall for it."
The atmosphere in the dormitory was lively, but Li Jiayi, sitting in the corner, was uncomfortable.
Wang Luxin looked at Li Jiayi's restless expression and said, "I'm going to the cafeteria for dinner, Jiayi, do you want to go?"
Li Jiayi didn't want to stay in the dormitory, so she agreed to Wang Luxin's suggestion.
The two walked to the cafeteria in silence.
Wang Luxin felt that this wouldn't work, if the online romance scammer cheated Li Jiayi out of her money, it would be troublesome.
Thinking of these things, Wang Luxin spoke first: "Jiayi, I haven't seen you much in the dormitory lately, could it be that you've already finished your graduation thesis?"
"No, not yet," Li Jiayi shook her head.
"Then what are you doing?
Could it be that you really have a boyfriend?" Wang Luxin said with a smile.
"If you have a boyfriend, don't hide it, bring him to see your sisters."
"I don't have one," Li Jiayi said helplessly to Wang Luxin.
The two walked into the cafeteria and ordered their own lunch.
Sitting at the dining table, Wang Luxin looked at Li Jiayi's simple lunchβa few buns with porridge.
She understood that the girl must have given money to the online scammer, otherwise she wouldn't be eating so frugally.
Wang Luxin put the chicken leg from her meal into Li Jiayi's bowl, and then said earnestly: "Jiayi, have you encountered any difficulties recently?
Why are you eating so simply?
If you encounter any trouble, tell us, we will definitely help you."
Li Jiayi looked at the chicken leg in her bowl, and her whole person couldn't hold back a little.
She lowered her head, wiping her eyes with her hand.
After a moment of silence, she slowly said: "I have an online boyfriend."
"...You're really having an online romance?" Wang Luxin asked in surprise.
"Yeah..." Li Jiayi nodded.
"He's very kind and always talks to me.
I think he's like my confidant, able to understand all my troubles."
"So... I like him very much."
"Then you gave her money?" Wang Luxin stared at Li Jiayi and asked slowly.
"I did," Li Jiayi didn't hide it anymore and told Wang Luxin about her online romance.
From Li Jiayi's words, Wang Luxin could imagine that the other party was a considerate and warm perfect man, able to feel all the emotions of the other half.
However, precisely because it was said to be too perfect, Wang Luxin felt it was a bit fake.
Reaching out and knocking on the table, Wang Luxin asked Li Jiayi: "Don't you think this person is too perfect?"
"What do you mean?"
"There is no perfect existence in this world, people will always have some shortcomings.
You said he can always think of you in everything, but you two haven't met at all, how does he know so many things?" Wang Luxin said, taking out her phone and searching for some information about online romance scams, mostly men pretending to be women to scam men.
She handed these news items to Li Jiayi, hoping that the other party could wake up.
"...I think he definitely won't lie to me," Li Jiayi said unwillingly.
"Then let me ask you, has he asked you for money recently?" Wang Luxin asked directly.
"Yes, but he always asks me to send money over in the middle of the night," Li Jiayi nodded.
"That's it, no matter how good the online romance scammer's persona is, it's all for money."
"But, that's because he has difficulties," Li Jiayi said sullenly.
"We've even talked on the phone, he definitely won't lie to me."
"His voice is very gentle, I like it very much..."
"I see that you won't give up until you see the Yellow River," Wang Luxin looked at Li Jiayi unhappily.
"You call him again, I'll let you see the truth of the matter."
After Wang Luxin finished speaking, she asked Li Jiayi to call the other party.
It was just that Li Jiayi was a little embarrassed, saying that the other party would only have time late at night.
So the two decided to see what happened at midnight.
At night, the roommates were still playing games.
Wang Luxin and Li Jiayi came to the corner of the balcony, and Li Jiayi called the other party.
Soon the phone was connected, and then a soft voice sounded.
"Hello, wife, is there anything wrong?"
"No, nothing," Li Jiayi's face turned red when she was called 'wife', she looked at Wang Luxin a little embarrassedly.
After all, she was in front of her roommates, and her face was still a little thin.
Wang Luxin signaled Li Jiayi to continue chatting with the other party, carefully observing Li Jiayi's expression.
By the way, she also used her hacking skills to start searching for the other party's computer's camera.
When Li Jiayi's conversation was almost over, she had successfully found the other party.
"Come and see your online boyfriend," Wang Luxin said, seeing Li Jiayi hang up the phone, and signaled her to come over.
The two looked at the computer screen, and Wang Luxin quickly entered a string of code.
As the program ran, a box popped up soon.
Wang Luxin clicked on the box, only to see a fat face suddenly appear in the box, but the other party's face was livid, and maggots crawling on his face were visible to the naked eye.
"Ahβ!!"
Wang Luxin and Li Jiayi were both frightened, and the computer in their hands fell to the ground, making a sound.
Only to see that on the computer screen, the originally motionless human face showed a hint of a smile.
He stuck to the camera, his pupils staring blankly.
The whole face instantly filled the screen.
"Wife, you've come to find me."
"Ahhh!!" Li Jiayi screamed.
Wang Luxin came back to her senses and quickly turned off the computer.
Then, with lingering fear, she took her mobile phone and tremblingly made a call to Wang Sheng.
"Dad, do you, do you know Brother Jiang's contact information?"
