My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 343 - 340 Dudu explodes

After several days of fermenting,

The verification from all parties had nearly solidified Lu Wu’s death as an established fact.

But, even so,

There were still people who didn’t believe that Lu Wu could just die like that.

Of course, among them were certainly those who worshipped Lu Wu immensely and couldn’t believe he would die just like that.

Likewise, there were those with ulterior motives, and they weren’t few in number.

For that segment of people,

If Lu Wu were truly dead, that would be good news, but if he faked his death, that would be a different story.

Therefore, in the past few days, people from all sides used various excuses to come to Jiangnan to investigate this matter.

And in this respect,

Zhang Yunyi handled it very well.

No one was able to uncover any leads.

With no clues found at the scene, some started to have different thoughts in mind.

If the battlefield yielded no clues, then perhaps they should start looking from a human perspective.

And if they were to start from the human aspect, there was one person who, in everyone’s view, was undoubtedly the most suitable.

This person was none other than Dudu from Lu Wu’s house.

To outsiders, Dudu was always seen as the ditsy girl adopted by Lu Wu’s family,

Raised and advanced under Lu Wu’s wing.

Though her power wasn’t bad under Lu Wu’s lead,

Her disposition was soft, naïve, kind, and a bit simple.

There had even been an incident where she was almost duped and wound up counting out money for someone.

Such a girl was definitely a major breakthrough point for investigation. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Especially after the official team had been repeatedly denied requests to see Dudu, many people set their sights squarely on her.

They felt that the more something was hidden, the more there was something fishy.

Within just a few short days,

Whether openly or in secret, the number of people trying to contact Dudu to extract information from her, that had been discovered, was already at eight, not to mention how many more there could be who hadn’t yet taken action or gone unnoticed.

Under these circumstances,

Jiang Yuexing figured it was better to disperse than to block completely.

It would be better to arrange an official investigation team to see Dudu.

Thus, under Jiang Yuexing’s arrangement, an official investigation team entered Jiangnan University on the fourth day after Lu Wu’s death and met Dudu in his research institute.

...

Lin Yue was the leader of this official investigation team.

To meet with Dudu, the investigation team had made quite a few compromises with Jiang Yuexing.

They were required to meet under the supervision of Tie Xiong, not to say anything provocative during the exchange, and the person having the conversation had to be a woman, among other conditions...

After untold effort, Lin Yue finally met the Dudu of legend.

At first glance, Lin Yue was somewhat astonished.

Because the Dudu she saw didn’t seem sad, as if she didn’t care about Lu Wu’s death at all.

As for Dudu,

She obviously knew early on that Lin Yue was coming and had even prepared some desserts for her, waiting outside the institute early on.

Upon seeing Lin Yue, her eyes immediately lit up, and she briskly ran over, "Are you Miss Lin Yue?"

"Yes, I am!" Lin Yue was somewhat puzzled.

Dudu quickly handed over the desserts she was holding and clumsily tried to please her, "Hello, you... you’re really pretty. Oh, I knew you were coming, so I made some desserts especially for you. Please have a taste."

"Thank you." Lin Yue was even more puzzled.

It was unclear what Dudu’s situation was, but Dudu clearly wasn’t the sort of person who could hide things well.

She quickly revealed what was on her mind, full of expectation while looking at Lin Yue: "Aunt Jiang said that you all came to find Lu Wu, have you found him?

Do you have any clues about him?"

Lin Yue was taken aback.

Looking for Lu Wu? What do you mean looking for Lu Wu?

Her eyes narrowed, "Are you saying Lu Wu isn’t dead?"

"Right, Lu Wu wouldn’t die!"

Dudu nodded vigorously, "He certainly wouldn’t die, he must have been swept away by the water, he definitely won’t die.

But, sometimes Lu Wu can be very mischievous; he might be hiding, so you can’t find him.

But no matter what, Lu Wu definitely won’t die!"

Dudu’s tone was absolutely firm.

But Lin Yue’s brow furrowed, this reply was clearly different from what she had expected; however, she wasn’t disappointed. After all, this was just the beginning.

Intuition told her that she could have a sizeable harvest from Dudu, so she reached out, took a dessert from the plate Dudu offered, and gobbled it down, winning over Dudu’s favor through this gesture.

With a graceful smile, Lin Yue said, "That’s exactly why I’m here, to look for Lu Wu. There are some things I’d like to understand from you."

Dudu’s eyes lit up, and she nodded emphatically, "Mhm, I’ll tell you everything I know!"

Following that, Dudu and Lin Yue entered the research facility.

In the reception room, Lin Yue guided the conversation quietly and skillfully through her superb communication skills.

Before Dudu could even react, Lin Yue had steered the topic in the direction she desired.

In fact, Lin Yue didn’t need to go to such lengths.

Dudu was incredibly cooperative at the moment.

As long as Lin Yue asked, as long as it could bring Lu Wu back, Dudu would say anything.

But if it were that easy, Lin Yue might not believe Dudu’s words.

That’s how people are; they don’t trust what comes too readily to them and find more value in things they’ve striven for.

And Lin Yue’s efforts ultimately led her to information she could have obtained without any effort.

However, when she did obtain it, she was very disappointed.

She didn’t get any of the information she wanted because Dudu really didn’t know anything. Had Dudu known, she definitely would have told, and even if she tried to keep a secret, her naive mind would have easily been read by others.

That was precisely why Lu Wu didn’t let Dudu know.

On Lin Yue’s side, after about half an hour of conversation, she had a clear grasp of Dudu’s personality.

Having figured out Dudu’s character and intelligence, Lin Yue was even more certain that the girl truly knew nothing. With her level of intellect, she wouldn’t be trusted with any secrets.

"It looks like this breakthrough is a dead end!"

After realizing this, Lin Yue was ready to leave.

Of course, had she really just left, that would have been the end of it.

However, just as she was about to take her leave, Dudu grabbed her, bashfully pulling out a card to give to Lin Yue.

"Um, that, that, this is the pocket money Lu Wu usually gives me. I haven’t spent it, and I was planning to give it to Lu Wu...

Ah, no, I mean, anyway, I... I’ll give it all to you now, please, could you carefully look for Lu Wu?

He hasn’t come back for several days, and I really miss him so much!"

Dudu was naive, but she knew that asking for favors required tact, so she forcibly pushed the card Lu Wu had given her onto Lin Yue, clumsily trying to win her favor.

Lin Yue initially wanted to refuse.

But Dudu insisted, and after thinking it over, Lin Yue didn’t think Dudu’s pocket money would amount to much, so she finally accepted the card reluctantly.

It was only after Lin Yue left that she discovered the card Dudu had given her contained several tens of millions of points.

This was because the card contained dividends from Lu Company that Lu Wu had given to Dudu.

Now, the matter should have ended here.

If Lin Yue had kept the card, that would have been that. Yet Lin Yue had principles; her conscience wouldn’t allow her to accept the money. Besides, she knew that taking such things could be life-threatening, so she returned the money the very same day.

This was the first time Dudu had tried to navigate human relations.

She felt happy for a while after giving away the card, believing that Lin Yue would put more effort into finding Lu Wu, and that Lu Wu would soon return.

But she didn’t expect Lin Yue to come back so soon to return the card.

This threw Dudu into a panic, grabbing Lin Yue’s hand, "Do you think it’s too little?

No... no worries, I still have shares in Lu Wu’s company that I can give to you.

I also have Lu Wu’s RV and many, many other things. I’ll give you all of them, please help me find Lu Wu, okay?"

Lin Yue looked at Dudu in front of her, her heart softening as she gently stroked Dudu’s hair and said, "He’s already dead, you need to grieve properly."

What Lin Yue didn’t know was

Her words to Dudu were extremely hurtful.

In recent days, the whole world had been saying Lu Wu was dead, except for her and the investigators, who believed Lu Wu was still alive.

So, Dudu thought that Lin Yue and their investigative team were the good guys and they would definitely help her find Lu Wu.

But now, the leader of the investigation team personally denied any news that Lu Wu was alive.

What did this mean for Dudu? Did it mean that Lu Wu was indeed dead?

No, it meant that the people from the investigation team were also bad!

After a moment of silence, Dudu slowly lifted her head.

"Why, why do you all have to say that Lu Wu is dead?

He’s clearly not dead!

Why do you say he’s dead, you bunch of bad people, you must have hidden Lu Wu somewhere.

Give my Lu Wu back to me!"

As she uttered these words, one by one, the energy accumulated inside her body burst forth.

Dudu visibly slimmed down at a noticeable rate, a terrifying aura surged towards the sky, and in an instant, Dudu and Tuantuan ascended straight to King-level.

What was even more terrifying was that, during this process, Dudu’s temperament underwent an earth-shaking transformation.

The originally clumsy and somewhat foolish Dudu showed signs of becoming a queen.

Because Lin Yue had turned bad!

Dudu had no one to rely on anymore; she had to grow on her own to find Lu Wu!

...

Hmm, why not just kill off Lu Wu and make Dudu the main character instead.
