The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 31: The Time of Oxen and Horses

"Oh, she came to me three years ago and said she kept dreaming of being locked up and unable to escape, which made her sleepless at night. Since I took the money, I chatted with her for a while, and I found out that Feng Yi, as you can see, is a very superficial person. It didn't take much effort to get from her what kind of troubles were behind her recurring dreams. To put it simply, she was not working at Nancheng Investment at the time, but was working at another company. With her unpleasant personality, lack of knowledge but competitive spirit, it's no surprise that she was benched there. Feng Yi is not the kind of person who is willing to be inferior to others, so such a situation naturally led to internal friction."

"You can help with this kind of thing?" Qi Fei smiled, "This has nothing to do with ghosts."

Zhong Kui played with the wine glass in his hand and said lazily: "Money makes the world go round. As long as the money is in place, I can certainly give her some money."

"Then I'm curious, how did you come up with that?"

"I only told her four words..." Zhong Kui smirked, "Tiger Roar breaks the deadlock."

"Tiger Roar? Luo Yin?" Qi Fei immediately thought of the fresh gossip about him.

"You react as quickly as Feng Yi."

"Are you encouraging her to become Luo Yin's mistress?" Qi Fei's words were full of condemnation. Although he didn't like Feng Yi very much, Zhong Kui's behavior was not just.

Zhong Kui disagreed: "I just sensed the will of heaven. This is her own understanding. It has nothing to do with me."

"Oh, don't try to play tricks on me. It's better not to let me find out if Feng Yi has anything to do with Niu Yinzhu's disappearance, or you won't be able to escape the blame for instigating it!"

Zhong Kui deliberately sighed, "Alas, I've lost to you. You're always so picky. Well, I tell you, I put a lot of effort in that week after she placed the order. There are no secrets in Sanwu Town. My grandmother found out a little bit about her and Luo Yin's unclear relationship. Luo Yin and she had worked together in another company. At that time, Luo Yin was a supervisor and Feng Yi was an employee. You know, they were in a melon field and plum blossoms. Later, probably because Luo Yin went to Nancheng Investment for a promotion, the relationship between the two was severed for a while.

What do you mean by instigation? The fire of fame and wealth in her heart has never been extinguished, otherwise she wouldn't have had such a dream. I just pointed out this desire. Mr. Police, this is not a crime, right? "

Qi Fei was left speechless. Thinking of Feng Yi's domineering demeanor in the group, he felt even more contempt for her. "Oh, so she was parachuted into the position of Vice President thanks to Luo Yin's investment connections in Nancheng. It seems their rumors in the group were absolutely correct."

"Tsk, all the rumors about Feng Yi are most likely true, because she simply doesn't care about them. She only looks up. Look at those people who bully her behind her back, but they are so respectful to her in person. I think she sees through this. Sadly, she's right about this. You can always trust people's servility."

"This, this is wrong!" Qi Fei had no rebuttal for a moment, but he knew that he could not agree with Feng Yi's values ​​at all. Of course, Feng Yi's personal morality was not the focus of his attention. "Do you think she has anything to do with Niu Yinzhu's disappearance?"

"When an ox and a horse meet, water is the medium. Whether this is a natural progression or a difficult situation is up to one's own opinion." Zhong Kui began to confuse people again. "Oh, right, I said that my lucky bag must be picked up by Feng Yi in person today, on an auspicious day. However, today is Wednesday, and Feng's mother said that Feng Yi never returns to Sanwu Town on Wednesdays and asked if there was any other solution. I had no choice but to say, "Or I, the Immortal, can personally deliver it to Nancheng. However, the price will increase several times." I didn't expect Feng's mother to pay without hesitation. Oh, she really dotes on this little girl!"

"Wednesday?" Qi Fei frowned. "Just now, Li Jian was saying that before Niu Yinzhu disappeared, she could never attend the Wednesday gatherings. How come it's such a coincidence that it's Wednesday too?"

"What's the party on Wednesday?" Zhong Kui asked curiously.

"Li Jian said that these young people who came in at the same time as him would get together every Wednesday night."

"Isn't this easy to understand? If the company's hard-working people were to choose a time for a gathering where everyone could attend, it would have to be when no one was working overtime. And when no one was working overtime, it must be because the boss had things to do."

"But these people are not all Feng Yi's subordinates." Qi Fei thought thoughtfully, "That is to say, on Wednesday night, no one in Nancheng Investment worked overtime." "A lot of things can happen at night. Don't forget, today is Wednesday." Zhong Kui looked at Qi Fei with a smile in his eyes, picked up the whiskey and took a sip.

Hearing this, Qi Fei looked at his watch and asked, "Is it time for the people from Nancheng Investment to get off work?"

"Haha, you're not doing very well on your homework!"

Qi Fei was puzzled by Zhong Kui's sudden denial: "What homework?"

Zhong Kui put her finger on her lips, signaling Qi Fei not to speak, and suddenly sat down on the same side as him.

The sofa back in the tavern was very high. Zhong Kui leaned against Qi Fei and pressed his head down. Through the gap in the sofa back, Qi Fei was surprised to see two people walking in from outside the tavern. One was Feng Yi, and the other was a man, but he was about the same age as Feng Yi, obviously not Luo Yin.

The two men did not sit down in the lobby, but walked around the service desk and went to the side door.

The waiters all bowed respectfully towards Feng Yi. It seemed that he was a regular customer and a VIP here.

"Are there any private rooms at the back of this tavern?" Qi Fei asked in a low voice.

"Do you want to go and have a look?" Zhong Kui said with a playful wink at him.

"How to get there?" Qi Fei had no idea.

Zhong Kui pressed the service bell, and a waiter came over shortly: "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhong Kui stared at the waiter with her ethereal eyes: "We met this morning."

The waiter recognized Zhong Kui and said, "You are the guest. Welcome back." Seeing this friendly look, the waiter had a good impression of Zhong Kui. Then he remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Feng and his friends are here. Shall I take you there?"

Qi Fei glared at Zhong Kui. Zhong Kui motioned him not to speak, then followed the waiter and swaggered into the side door next to the service desk.

Sure enough, there was a different world inside. After winding around and passing through the long corridor, I could vaguely hear voices coming from inside.

That sharp, unpleasant tone was definitely Feng Yi's, but it was another man's voice that sounded much younger than Luo Yin, and Qi Fei had never heard it before.
