The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 32 Eavesdropping
"Thank you, we can go there by ourselves." Zhong Kui said to the waiter with a smile, then looked directly into the other's eyes and said, "You are very tired. You haven't rested for a long time. You should relax." Her voice was lazy and charming, as if with an unstoppable magic. The waiter nodded obediently, his eyes becoming dull.

"There are still a lot of things to do outside, so just take us here." Zhong Kui continued, as if expressing the waiter's thoughts.

After hearing this, the waiter turned and left without saying a word.

"You were also invited by Feng Yi, why didn't you say so earlier?" Qi Fei leaned close to her and asked in a low voice.

"Who said I was invited?" Zhong Kui shrugged. "I lied to her this morning. I just took advantage of the servants' mindset. I came over this morning and told them that Mr. Feng had invited me to a party on Wednesday. I pretended to have a mix-up between lunch and dinner. She then assumed I knew about the party tonight and just misread the time. It's a simple trick of selective exposure."

"Hmph, playing with people's hearts." Qi Fei said with disdain, but secretly sighed in his heart. After all, he had experienced the feeling of being psychologically suggested a long time ago.

"Oh, thank you for the compliment." Zhong Kui said as he swaggered towards the box.

"Are we just going to break in like this?" Qi Fei didn't know what Zhong Kui was going to do next.

Zhong Kui smiled cunningly: "Tonight is a masquerade ball." Then she tied up her long hair neatly, put on a mask, and threw one to Qi Fei.

Qi Fei finally realized it. No wonder he was asked to change into formal clothes. It turned out that he was waiting for this to happen!

But who could be fooled by such a simple disguise? Qi Fei was deeply skeptical.

Zhong Kui was obviously very confident. He walked into the service room with a swagger and said nothing. He just naturally took the dishes from the waiter and put them on the water table. He then naturally handed another waiter the white wine glass that the customer needed.

Although Qi Fei's movements were a bit stiff, he was quick to react after all. He pretended to be busy in a proper manner. Although he didn't help much throughout the process and was just paddling, no one found it strange.

From the box, Feng Yi's very recognizable voice came.

Feng Yi has an arrogant personality and doesn't know how to lower his voice when speaking, so everything he says can be heard clearly in the delivery room.

"Mr. Pan, I've been under a lot of pressure on your project. I finally managed to get it through the audit, but I didn't expect the police to come looking for me again today."

"Don't say anything, I'll toast you!" said the man. Needless to say, this man was the Mr. Pan that Feng Yi had mentioned. "However, I heard that the police came here to ask about Manager Niu. It seems that this has nothing to do with our project."

Mr. Pan, Qi Fei remembered that there was a man named Pan in the file of Niu Yinzhu’s disappearance. He was the person she went to Hai City with on a business trip, and the person in charge of the problematic project - Pan Ting.

As expected, Feng Yi continued, "There are so many gossips in the group right now, all spreading rumors that her disappearance is related to your project!"

"That's such a huge injustice. Aren't we doing business just to make money? We dare not get involved in other things at all. Mr. Feng, you know us." Pan Ting said immediately.

"It's useless for me to understand you. It's the police who have to understand you. I think they will come looking for you soon, so you better be careful with what you say then." Feng Yi spoke in the tone of a female boss, which was different from the coquettish state when facing Qi Fei. "But then again, Niu Yinzhu disappeared at the right time. The audit team was about to find me, and I was planning to ask the boss for help!" Needless to say, this boss was Luo Yin, the head of Nancheng Investment, and she really didn't shy away from the relationship between them at all.

"Then Mr. Feng, you are a blessed man." Mr. Pan said flatteringly, "This beauty really is just lucky!"

Feng Yi was very impressed. "I'm telling you, there are some things you just have to believe. Ever since I found a master to change my luck, everything has been going perfectly." This master was obviously referring to Zhong Kui. She couldn't help but exchange a glance with Qi Fei at the sudden mention of Zhong Kui.

"But Mr. Feng, I'm not talking behind her back. Your Niu Yinzhu, although she's quite positive, this doctor can be a bit dazed sometimes. Didn't she say she was coming to Hai City to look at my project? I made all the arrangements to entertain her, but then she asked me to give her the address. I was incredibly busy those days, and I sent her the address. If she wanted the location, she could just search for it herself."

"She's a little immature, but the boss likes people who are driven. You have to give her some time. You can't rush her. But then again, it's hard to say whether she has a chance now."

"I'm not being a pessimist. If he's still alive, there wouldn't be any news for three years. Let me see..." Pan Ting said regretfully.

"You don't have to pretend. She's gone. Who else can tell others about your outrageous behavior that night?"

"Ah, Mr. Feng, let's not talk about this. I still have to ask you to take care of this matter. I was really drunk. And Niu Yinzhu hinted at something in her words. I must have misunderstood it. Who knew she was unwilling?"

"Humph, you really can put the blame on a dead person."

"I've always been a straight talker. Look, how come you're trying to pass the buck? We've been working together for so many years, you know that!"

"If it weren't for the fact that we've been working together for so many years, would I have to go to so much trouble to help you keep an eye on this matter?"

"Yes, yes, come on, let's not talk about this anymore, I'll toast you!" Pan Ting immediately changed the subject. After a while of toasting, he suddenly looked at his watch: "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Feng, for taking up your personal time." He smiled obscenely, "Goodbye, goodbye." This fake dinner came to an abrupt end.

Feng Yi wasn't polite either, not even getting up to see him off. As soon as Pan Ting left the private room, she immediately made a phone call: "Hey, Boss, I'm done and ready to go!" There was a hint of frivolity in her words.

Qi Fei and Zhong Kui looked at each other in confusion next door, and it was obvious who was on the other end of the phone.

"Are you coming to me directly? Aren't there a lot of people watching us recently... Oh... OK." Feng Yi's tone gradually became low, and it seemed that the person on the other end of the phone was not speaking gently.

Hearing that Luo Yin was coming directly to find Feng Yi, Qi Fei and Zhong Kui felt it was an unexpected gain.

Not long after, the short, middle-aged man appeared.

Although Luo Yin has a impressive name, he is actually not as tall as Feng Yi. He has small eyes, light eyebrows, and thick lips. He has no good looks at all.

But Feng Yi's eyes were full of sincere admiration.

"Boss!" As soon as she saw Luo Yin appear, Feng Yi walked up to him and hugged his arm coquettishly.
