The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 28 Late Night Figure
When Qi Fei was leaving, he turned around and saw Feng Yi looking at him with a smile on her face as she turned to the female secretary. She immediately lost interest in him. She felt an inexplicable disgust, and she didn't know where it came from.

Whether it was coincidence or intentional, Old Qian was near Feng Yi's office. When he saw Qi Fei coming out, he tapped his chest with the back of his hand and said, "How's it going? Have you experienced the power of the Queen Mother?"

"It's not easy for you." Qi Fei said with a smile.

Old Qian glanced coldly at Feng Yi's office, then said to Qi Fei, "Niu Yinzhu gets along well with the other new employees who joined at the same time as her. These people who joined at the same time as her have been promoted and have become small supervisors. They keep in close contact with each other privately. If you want to understand her, talk to her colleagues."

Qi Fei soon met one of the people that Lao Qian Yi mentioned, Li Jian. Like Niu Yinzhu, he was already the head of the marketing department at a young age. As Feng Yi said, he had stepped on the so-called green wave belt.

Li Jian was the first person with a completely different temperament that Qi Fei had met in Nancheng Investment. He was dressed simply, wore plastic-framed glasses, was fair and gentle, and had a bit of a student-like air.

"Yinzhu has had a hard time." As expected, Li Jian took a different stance as soon as he opened his mouth. "She is serious and responsible in her work and would not abscond with the money."

"Did she say anything special before she disappeared?" Qi Fei asked as usual.

Unlike the others' perfunctory response, Li Jian pondered the matter seriously. It seemed that for him, no matter who asked the question, every question had to be answered. "If there's anything special, it's that she wasn't in a particularly good mood during that time. That would be normal for anyone else, but Yinzhu is a very positive person, always optimistic and optimistic. I think it might have something to do with the fact that the project she was handling was being targeted by the audit team."

"Oh, they said that during the bidding, it was given to the one related to Mr. Feng?" Qi Fei had heard this from Lao Qian.

"Well, she didn't say it explicitly, so we guessed." At this point, Li Jian's eyes dodged for a moment, "Oh, of course we guessed. Could you please not tell others that I said it?"

Li Jian in front of Qi Fei was serious and cautious. He was not the kind of motivated rookie that Feng Yi said their boss wanted. Qi Fei looked at him with a bit of sadness.

"So, what else did you guess?" he asked.

Li Jian stared at Qi Fei with a blank expression. Qi Fei understood the temperament of businesspeople all too well. Regardless of their personalities, a businessman's eyes were always sharp. Li Jian seemed more suited to academic study. His habit of answering questions with obedience really paid off. "We suspect that rumors about the project have triggered an internal review, and someone doesn't want this to happen."

"Who?"

"Well, I can't say for sure." Li Jian immediately dodged and didn't give a direct answer.

"Feng Yi." Qi Fei said the name.

Li Jian didn't say anything, but his expression betrayed him. Qi Fei already knew the answer.

Before leaving, Qi Fei caught a glimpse of the pen holder on Li Jian's desk. It said "Nancheng Medical University Graduation Souvenir." He couldn't help but ask, "Are you from the medical school?"

"Yes, I am a doctor from Nancheng Medical University." Li Jian replied.

"Doctor of Medicine, it seems a pity that you don't become a doctor but come to an investment company to work as a salesperson." Qi Fei thought of Niu Yinzhu's blood, and became a little suspicious of Li Jianping.

"There's nothing to regret. I just don't want to do scientific research all my life. Those who came in at the same time as me are either PhDs or masters, and most of them have similar ideas to mine." Li Jian answered calmly. He must have heard this kind of doubt many times.

"Is Niu Yinzhu also a medical student?" "No, she studied physics and is also a doctor." Li Jian emphasized his academic qualifications intentionally or unintentionally.

"Dr. Li, I have a question. Do you know how to prevent blood clotting?" Qi Fei asked casually.

"What? Is it related to Yinzhu's disappearance? Did you find her blood?" Li Jian reacted immediately, much faster than the dazed state when he was asked to provide clues just now.

"The doctor is worthy of being a doctor." Qi Fei said thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "I will come to you again if I need you."

Li Jian was obviously nervous because of Qi Fei's last question. His face turned pale. Suddenly he remembered something and said to Qi Fei, "Before, we would invite a few people who came in at the same time to have dinner together every Wednesday night. But in the weeks before Yinzhu disappeared, she didn't come once. She always said she was busy when asked to come. But I don't see that she is working overtime at the company. If you say it's strange, this is it."

When leaving Li Jian's office, Qi Fei met Feng Yi's female secretary head-on. As soon as she saw Qi Fei, she came up to him and seemed to have been waiting for him here on purpose.

"Qi, Mr. Qi, this is what Mr. Feng said to give you." She handed over a small golden paper bag, which was obviously worth a lot of money.

Qi Fei smiled slightly: "It's okay, I don't need this, please help me return it to Mr. Feng."

Hearing him say this, the female secretary became nervous: "No, no, you have to keep it, otherwise Mr. Feng will be unhappy."

Qi Fei had just witnessed the pressure Feng Yi exerted on his subordinates, and he didn't want to embarrass the trembling female secretary in front of him, so he took the bag and said, "Okay, then you've completed your mission."

The female secretary raised her head, looked at him with gratitude, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you." She seemed to be relieved.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the door of the project department again, and Lao Qian appeared in Qi Fei's sight again.

Qi Fei didn't think it was a coincidence, so he walked up to Lao Qian and asked, "Do you have anything else to say to me?"

Old Qian dragged him into his messy office mysteriously: "Tell me the truth, is Niu Yinzhu really dead?"

This question was strange, causing Qi Fei to be suspicious. He immediately asked back, "You are so nervous about this issue, it shouldn't be because of your relationship with Niu Yinzhu, right?"

Old Qian touched his unruly chin, looking as if he had something to hide.

"Any information can help us confirm Niu Yinzhu's life or death more quickly." Qi Fei observed Lao Qian's expression and continued.

"One of the reasons why I refused to move to Niu Yinzhu's office is that I thought she would come back sooner or later." Lao Qian suddenly said.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because during the period when she just disappeared, there were two times when I came back to work overtime at night and saw the light on in Niu Yinzhu's office downstairs. There was a figure that looked very much like her wandering inside. But when I got upstairs, there was no one there. I thought maybe she was hiding because of the project and came back after a while. I didn't expect that there has been no news for three years." As Lao Qian spoke, he glanced at the neighbor next door with a look of fear.
