1422 Something Wrong With Qi Zhenbai (3)
Feng Yuanlin was usually very principled, but when it came to Shuyan, he didn’t care at all. Blame Shuyan for being so good to him. He wasn’t stupid – Shuyan’s sudden desire to deal with Qin Qing most likely had to do with him. Even if it didn’t, Feng Yuanlin was willing to take the risk to deal with that woman for Shuyan.
In the end, he was the one who had caused this. There was no reason for Shuyan to clean up his mess.
Moreover, compared with Qin Qing, Shuyan was much more important to him.
Feng Yuanlin didn’t know that his unprincipled words stupefied Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming. Was this still their very principled and impartial Director Feng?
No wonder Master Chi was so good to Director Feng!
When Chi Shuyan heard Feng Yuanlin’s words, her smile was incomparably bright and she was in a very good mood. She was about to say a few words, when a scorching gaze swept over her.
Not far away, a tall and familiar figure stood upright in the darkness and stared fixedly at her. Then, his gaze fell on Brother Feng. There was a coldness on his face and a ruthlessness in the depths of his eyes.
Chi Shuyan’s face stiffened. Feng Yuanlin sensed something and followed Shuyan’s gaze. He saw Zhenbai standing motionless not far away. He didn’t think much of it and greeted Zhenbai loudly.
Feng Yuanlin happened to have something to say to Zhenbai. Seeing Zhenbai remain still and silent, he simply left Shuyan to talk to Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming before he walked in Zhenbai’s direction.
Although Chi Shuyan sensed that Qi Zhenbai seemed to be harboring some hostility toward Brother Feng, she didn’t think much of it. After all, the two of them had a close relationship. Given their friendship, Qi Zhenbai wouldn’t take action against Brother Feng no matter what. As for the possibility of him being jealous, Chi Shuyan didn’t think that the man would be jealous of Brother Feng. Even if that might have been a possibility before, that ship had long sailed.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming also sensed President Qi’s unfriendly and cold gaze on Director Feng. Wu Haoming was sensitive by nature and couldn’t help but mutter, “Why do I feel that President Qi’s gaze on Director Feng is a little off?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Director Feng and President Qi walk into the dense forest on the side. From the back, they looked like brothers. It was unlikely that President Qi had ill intentions toward Director Feng.
Chi Shuyan looked away from the two men. She instructed Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming to let the others know that they would rest for 15 minutes and leave after that.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming nodded. Xiao Shan said that he had just checked on his phone and had found a hotel nearby where everyone could stay for the night.
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay. Ask around and take down the names of those who want to stay at the hotel. We’ll leave in 15 minutes!”
As soon as Chi Shuyan finished speaking, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Director Wang came to look for her, but before she could pay them any attention, Aunt Miao, who had been in the car with the little guy, also came looking for her anxiously.
Chi Shuyan felt that Aunt Miao had something to say to her, so she naturally didn’t have time to exchange pleasantries with Ruan Shenglin and the others. After confirming that they weren’t looking for her for something important, she just said that they would meet at the hotel, before she sent them away.
It was only when she got back to the car that Chi Shuyan realized why Aunt Miao was looking for her. It turned out that after the little guy left the village, his solid soul suddenly turned transparent, scaring Aunt Miao so much that she looked for Chi Shuyan anxiously. “Miss Chi, please help save my child. Please.”
Chi Shuyan had no time to ask how Aunt Miao knew that she could help. She immediately fed the little guy a pill. This kind of pill was specially for supernatural creatures and ghosts, and could make the souls of ghosts more solid.
As soon as she fed him one, the little guy’s fading body solidified again. Aunt Miao was moved to tears of gratitude. Chi Shuyan waved her hand and said, “I still want to know more about Dashan Village. If possible, Aunt Miao, please be honest with me when the time comes.”
Since she had left the village, Aunt Miao never thought of hiding the matter of Dashan Village anymore. It was just that she had a request: To help exorcize everyone in Dashan Village.
“Was this one of your requests to Qi Zhenbai in order to leave the village?” Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and asked.
Aunt Miao paused when she heard the name “Qi Zhenbai.” When she thought about who Miss Chi was referring to, she nodded.
Chi Shuyan actually wanted to ask how the two of them knew each other. Why did Aunt Miao trust Qi Zhenbai so much? However, the occasion wasn’t right, and there wasn’t enough time. Chi Shuyan could only put it aside for now and ask about everything else in the hotel later.
Seeing that the little guy was fine, Chi Shuyan didn’t disturb the mother and son. She opened the car door and got out.
Aunt Miao suddenly thought of something, and called out to her, “Miss Chi, are you and Mr. Qi husband and wife?”
Chi Shuyan: …No.
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to explain, Aunt Miao took her silence as tacit agreement and said again, “If possible, Miss Chi, it’s best if you pay more attention to Mr. Qi’s recent mood and strange behavior, just in case!”
Chi Shuyan: …
On the other side, Feng Yuanlin and Qi Zhenbai walked into the dense forest. Zhenbai had brought Feng Yuanlin here, so the latter thought that he had something to say to him. When they were inside the dense forest, however, Zhenbai didn’t say a word and just stared unblinkingly at his face, as if wanting to bore a hole through him.
Feng Yuanlin was brave, but at that moment, his scalp turned numb under Zhenbai’s burning gaze. His hands shook, and he took out a pack of cigarettes. He took one cigarette out and handed it to Zhenbai, then took out a lighter to light it for him.
The light blue flame barely highlighted Zhenbai’s profile. Feng Yuanlin had always admitted that Zhenbai’s face was too good-looking in the eyes of both men and women, but at that moment, he sensed a strange gloom in Zhenbai’s faint profile. When he met that pair of dark, imperceptible and slightly evil eyes, his heart pounded and he felt that something wasn’t right.
F*ck!
His brother wasn’t possessed, was he?
Thinking this, Feng Yuanlin’s voice and hands trembled a little. He forced himself to light a cigarette of his own, and he said in a shaky voice, “Zhen… Zhenbai, what’s the matter?”
