The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 41 The Resolute Man

Zhong Kui curled her rosy lips and ignored Qi Fei, staring at Li Jian: "I mean what I say!"

Now it was Li Jian's turn to panic. His determination to fight was interrupted by Zhong Kui's unexpected move.

The two men confronted each other, each holding a hostage and refusing to give in.

"Ms. Zhuang Xueqing was the first one to rush up. It's obvious that she doesn't care about her boss." Nothing escaped Zhong Kui's eyes.

Li Jian was shaken after hearing this, and his red eyes cast a trace of tenderness towards Zhuang Xueqing: "I thought you didn't love me..."

There was a tear on the back of Zhong Kui's hand holding the knife. It was Zhuang Xueqing crying.

She didn't struggle at all. Instead, she applied a little force to the tip of Zhong Kui's knife. Blood had already begun to seep out of the wound. "Brother, stop. If you hurt Mr. Feng, I will die with her."

"She doesn't deserve to be called that!" Li Jian looked at Zhuang Xueqing, tears streaming down his face. "I shouldn't have let you apply for this company..."

When Li Jian was speaking excitedly, he suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground with Feng Yi.

It turned out that Qi Fei took advantage of the moment when Li Jian and Zhong Kui were distracted during the confrontation and went around to the back of the four words "Nancheng Investment". He waited for the right moment to knock Li Jian down.

Just when everyone was about to subdue Li Jian, he went crazy. Taking advantage of Qi Fei's collapse, he jumped with a resolute attitude and jumped off the roof of Nancheng Investment.

Qi Fei reacted as quickly as possible and chased after Li Jian to grab him, but unfortunately, this was not something that could be done with human speed. If his colleague behind him had not grabbed him in time, he would have almost fallen down.

Everything happened so fast. In the chaos, Feng Yicai, who had finally escaped from danger, burst into tears. However, no one present cared and no one came forward to ask about her safety.

The moment Zhuang Xueqing saw Li Jian jumping down, she closed her eyes and was about to charge at the tip of the knife in Zhong Kui's hand, but suddenly her neck felt empty and she staggered and almost fell.

As she attempted suicide, Zhong Kui put away the knife and whispered a few words in her ear. Zhuang Xueqing looked at her in surprise, and then her eyes fell on Feng Yi, who was still in shock.

The moment Feng Yi saw Zhong Kui, she seemed to have found an outlet to vent her anger. She shouted at her in a trembling voice, "I want my money back! You didn't protect me at all!"

Zhong Kui didn't get angry after hearing this. She walked up to Feng Yi, who was slumped on the ground, holding the bloody knife and said, "If it weren't for me, you would be lying on the granite floor under the building. The hurdle your mother and I talked about was the kind that would kill you. Now that you're alive, I haven't broken my promise. Also, don't forget that Wong Tai Sin hates evil. If you continue to be rude to me, I'm not sure what will happen next." As she spoke, she lightly tapped Feng Yi's cheek with the knife stained with Zhuang Xueqing's blood, scaring Feng Yi so much that his whole face twitched.

An ambulance siren blared downstairs.

Qi Fei received a call and came over to say, "The air cushion downstairs was deployed in time to catch Li Jian. He won't die for the time being."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xueqing closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Kui had already walked up to her, just smiled, and rarely spoke to comfort her: "It's okay."

Zhuang Xueqing looked at Zhong Kui with tearful eyes, her expression was very complicated, and she only said one sentence in the end: "Thank you."

"Take good care of Li Jian. Let's talk about everything after he wakes up." Zhong Kui showed rare tenderness, reached out and patted her shoulder, and left the noisy crowd alone.

"Zhong Kui!" Qi Fei caught up with her and called her on the first floor. Zhong Kui stopped and Qi Fei was already in front of her.

"You were too risky just now. What if Li Jian got provoked and killed Feng Yi directly?" Qi Fei said.

Zhong Kui pursed her lips and said, "I thought you came here specially to thank me!"

Qi Fei turned his head away helplessly and smiled bitterly: "What if Li Jian doesn't care about this female secretary at all?"

"Care? He loves Zhuang Xueqing with all his heart!" Zhong Kui said with a smile.

"How did you know?"

"I'm a great immortal, of course I know. Is it possible that the adventure you mentioned is just because you lack the ability?"

Qi Fei was speechless after being confronted by Zhong Kui. He was stunned for a moment, then said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Don't tell me I can't do it."

Zhong Kui smiled wickedly and said, "I'll assume that you're not angry anymore. Besides, I've earned enough money from the Feng family. I don't care whether Feng Yi dies or not!" After saying that, she walked away gracefully.

Only Qi Fei was left standing there in amazement.

"The hospital has reported that Li Jian has finally passed critical condition and survived. As for why he killed Niu Yinzhu and Pan Ting, we can only wait until he wakes up to interrogate him," Wu Shanqiu said, then looked around. "Hey? Zhong Kui isn't here?"

"Oh, he said he had business and went back to Sanwu Town." Qi Fei said, "How willful."

"Hehe, I think it's actually quite good for her not to have a cell phone. She can come and go freely." Wu Shanqiu was envious. "Nancheng Investment has been having a hard time lately. The director went crazy and wanted to kill the vice president, so people can't help but gossip about the reason. They said all kinds of things, like Feng Yi had improper relationships with Pan Ting and Li Jian, and that she was a slut. Oh, the netizens' imaginations are really outrageous!"

"Is it possible that all this information was spread from within their group?" Qi Fei said as he flipped through the book. "Feng Yi is such a bully, so he must be waiting for an opportunity to slander her."

"Brother Fei, when did you become so studious that you're even reading in the office?" Wu Shanqiu approached curiously. "Abnormal psychology? Does this have anything to do with Feng Yi's case?"

"Mind your own business! This was lent to me by Dr. Jiang. I took a look out of curiosity." Qi Fei quickly put the book away, looking as if he didn't want to be seen.

"Oh, that's Dr. Jiang who counsels us. What's up? What's wrong with you lately? Why do you want to go see him?"

"Tsk, stop asking so many questions. Seriously, do you think Pan Ting was killed by Li Jian?" Qi Fei changed the subject.

"Brother Fei, there's something a little off about this. Didn't Li Jian say he was at home on leave the day Pan Ting died? We actually helped him find an alibi... Even though he rented the apartment alone, it's a youth hostel with facial recognition access control and surveillance downstairs. We checked the records and found he was inside the apartment the entire day and never left. He even ordered two takeout orders, and we contacted the delivery guy, who confirmed that he was the one who received them."

"This is very strange. He should know that he has many ways to prove his alibi. Why didn't he tell us that day?" Qi Fei said.

"Right, it feels like he's admitting his guilt too voluntarily." Wu Shanqiu agreed.

"Shanqiu, do you know who this reminds me of?"

"Who?"
