Chapter 31: The Time of Ox and Horse

"Oh, she came to me three years ago, saying that she always dreamed that she was locked up and couldn't get out, and she couldn't sleep well at night. Since I took the money, I naturally chatted with her a bit more. As a result, I found that Feng Yi, you have seen it, is a very shallow person. It doesn't take much effort to know what kind of trouble is behind this recurring dream from her. Simply put, she was not at Nancheng Investment at that time, but working in another company. Her unlikable personality, lack of knowledge but competitive, is not surprising. Of course, she sat on the cold bench there. Feng Yi is not the kind of person who is willing to be under others. Such a situation naturally caused internal friction."

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

Zhong Kui played with the wine glass in her hand and said lazily: "Money can make ghosts push the mill. As long as the money is in place, of course I can give her a hint."

"Then I'm curious, how did you hint?"

"I only told her four words..." Zhong Kui said with pride in her evil smile, "Tiger roars and breaks the situation."

"Tiger roars? Luo Yin?" Qi Fei immediately associated it with his freshly baked gossip.

"You reacted as fast as Feng Yi."

"Are you instigating her to be Luo Yin's mistress?" Qi Fei's words were full of condemnation. Although he didn't like Feng Yi, Zhong Kui's approach was not righteous enough.

Zhong Kui was indifferent: "I'm just sensing the will of heaven and conveying it. This is her own understanding, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Heh, stop that. It's better not to let me find out that Feng Yi has anything to do with Niu Yinzhu's disappearance, otherwise you can't escape the charge of instigation!"

Zhong Kui deliberately sighed: "Sigh, I really lost to you, always so serious. Okay, I'll tell you. In the week after she placed the order, I put in a lot of effort. There are no secrets in Sanwu Town. My grandmother learned about her unclear relationship with Luo Yin after a little understanding. Luo Yin and she worked together in another company before. At that time, Luo Yin was a supervisor, and Feng Yi was an employee. 'Under the melon field and under the plum tree' (a Chinese idiom meaning avoiding suspicion), you understand. Later, it was probably because Luo Yin went to Nancheng Investment and was promoted, and the relationship between the two was broken for a period of time.

What is instigation? The fire of her desire for fame and profit has never been extinguished. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had that kind of dream. I just broke through this layer of desire. Officer, this doesn't constitute a crime, right?"

Qi Fei was speechless. Thinking of Feng Yi's arrogant appearance in the group, he felt even more disdain in his heart: "Heh, so she relied on Luo Yin's relationship in Nancheng Investment to parachute into a vice president. It seems that the rumors in their group are not wrong at all."

"Tsk, nine out of ten rumors about Feng Yi are true, because she simply doesn't care about these rumors. Her eyes only look upward. Look at those people who gossip behind her back; they have to be respectful when facing her. I think she sees through this point. The sad thing is that she is right about this. You can always believe in human servility."

"This, this is wrong!" Qi Fei couldn't refute for a while, but he knew he couldn't agree with Feng Yi's values at all. Of course, Feng Yi's private morality was not the focus of his attention. "Do you think she has anything to do with Niu Yinzhu's disappearance?"

"When the ox and horse meet, water is the medium. Whether it is pushing the boat with the current or water being spilled and hard to recover, it depends on the person," Zhong Kui started to be mysterious again. "Oh, by the way, I said my lucky bag must be taken by Feng Yi herself on an auspicious day today. However, today happens to be Wednesday. Feng's mother said that Feng Yi never returns to Sanwu Town on Wednesday, and asked me if there was any other way. I had to say, either the Great Immortal myself delivers it to Nancheng, but the price will be several times higher. I didn't expect Feng's mother to give money without saying a word. Heh, she really spoils this little daughter!"

"Wednesday?" Qi Fei furrowed his brows tightly. "Li Jian just said that in the few weeks before Niu Yinzhu went missing, she couldn't attend the Wednesday gathering. How could it be such a coincidence that it is also Wednesday?"

"What is the Wednesday gathering?" Zhong Kui asked curiously.

"Li Jian said that these young people who joined at the same time agreed to have a gathering every Wednesday night."

"Isn't this easy to understand? If the company's ox and horse want to choose a gathering time that everyone can attend, it must be the time when everyone is not working overtime. The time when they are not working overtime must be when the boss has her own things."

"But these people are not all Feng Yi's subordinates," Qi Fei thought. "That is to say, on Wednesday night, Nancheng Investment has no one working overtime from top to bottom."

"At night, many things can happen. Don't forget, today is Wednesday," Zhong Kui looked at Qi Fei with a smile and picked up the whiskey and took a sip.

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

"Haha, your homework is not very good!"

For Zhong Kui's sudden denial, Qi Fei was a bit inexplicable: "What homework?"

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

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

The two did not sit in the lobby, but bypassed the service desk and walked toward the side door.

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

"Does this tavern have private rooms in the back?" Qi Fei asked in a low voice.

"Do you want to go and see?" Zhong Kui winked at him playfully and said.

"How to go?" Qi Fei had no idea.

Zhong Kui pressed the service bell. Not long after, a waiter walked over: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

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

The waiter recognized Zhong Kui and said: "You are that guest, welcome to visit again." Seeing this kind appearance, the waiter had a good impression of Zhong Kui, and then remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Vice President Feng and the others have arrived. Shall I take you there?"

Qi Fei stared at Zhong Kui with wide eyes. Zhong Kui signaled him not to speak, and then followed the waiter swaggeringly into the side door next to the service desk.

Sure enough, there was a different world inside, winding and winding. Passing through the long corridor, the sound of talking came faintly from inside.

That sharp, unpleasant tone was Feng Yi, no mistake. It was just another man's voice, sounding much younger than Luo Yin. Qi Fei had never heard it before. ===== CHAPTER 32 =====
