To celebrate Xiang Shenghui's narrow escape and also to apologize, Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng treated everyone to a lavish meal.
During the meal, Lu Qing seemed preoccupied.
Gu Xicheng knew what she was thinking, and whispered quietly in her ear:
"We need to find some time to meet with Huang Zeyu."
Lu Qing nodded; she had the same idea.
If Huang Zeyu continues like this, who knows who he might target next?
After finishing their meal and waiting for everyone to leave, Lu Qing used Gu Xicheng's phone to send a message to Huang Zeyu.
See you at Kihrse Cafe at 2 PM!
Upon seeing the message, Huang Zeyu raised his eyebrows slightly and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
He replied to the message, asking:
Did Mr. Gu or Ms. Lu Qing send this message?
Lu Qing: [Is there a difference?]
Huang Zeyu: [Of course there's a difference. If it's Miss Lu Qing who invites me, I'd be honored. But if it's Mr. Gu, I wouldn't dare go.]
Lu Qing was speechless after seeing this news.
Gu Xicheng picked up his phone and sent a message:
[2 PM - No exceptions!]
After sending the message, he immediately blocked Huang Zeyu on WeChat.
"Will this guy come?" Lu Qing asked, frowning.
Gu Xicheng's gaze darkened, and he said coldly:
"If he comes, we can still talk. If he doesn't come, I'd rather lose a thousand lives than let him get away with this!"
At 2 p.m., Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng arrived at the coffee shop on time.
They had just sat down when Huang Zeyu arrived.
Huang Zeyu was not surprised to see the two of them together.
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Lu, what would you like to drink?" Huang Zeyu asked with a smile.
Gu Xicheng glanced at him, then beckoned a waiter:
"Two cups of coffee, please!"
Huang Zeyu scoffed, "Mr. Gu is really petty. You invited me to a coffee shop, but you won't even give me a cup of coffee?"
Gu Xicheng sneered:
"I'd rather throw coffee in someone's face than try to steal my wife."
"Mr. Gu is really stingy!" Huang Zeyu looked at Gu Xicheng with a puzzled expression.
"I really don't understand, she's just a woman, why are you so angry?"
"Give her to me, and I'll just play around with her. I won't marry her, and I won't spread the news and make you lose face."
"Our two companies can cooperate, it's a win-win situation, wouldn't that be great?"
Gu Xicheng's face grew darker and darker as he listened.
Just then, the waiter brought the coffee over, and Gu Xicheng picked up a cup and splashed it in his face.
Slightly hot coffee dripped down his hair, soaking him completely.
Huang Zeyu closed his eyes and wiped the coffee off his face after a moment.
He opened his eyes, his gaze towards Gu Xicheng was icy, and he laughed maniacally.
"Mr. Gu, you splashed it so well!"
Lu Qing used to think that Huang Zeyu just had warped values, but now she has changed her mind.
He doesn't just have warped values, he's mentally ill.
Gu Xicheng stared at the empty coffee cup with a look of disgust:
"What a waste to spill it all!"
"Give me another drink!"
The waiter was so startled that he quickly took the cup and left.
Huang Zeyu's gaze shifted from Gu Xicheng to Lu Qing, and he asked with a smile:
"Miss Lu Qing, if you agree to spend the night with me now, I might consider letting him off the hook!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but sneer:
"Where do you get the confidence to think you can handle my man?"
Huang Zeyu curled his lips into a sinister smile:
"It seems Miss Lu is still not going to change her mind. I hope you won't regret it!"
After saying that, Huang Zeyu turned around and left.
Lu Qing watched his retreating figure, then suddenly frowned:
"Gu Xicheng, don't you think there's something off about this guy?!"
Gu Xicheng nodded: "I sensed it the moment he came in."
Gu Xicheng extended his index finger, and the Nine Nether Lotus Flame danced at his fingertip, emitting a faint purple light.
"Wasn't the Nine Nether Lotus Flame originally blue? How did it turn purple?" Lu Qing asked.
Gu Xicheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly:
"Because it sensed an evil aura."
"Evil energy?" Lu Qingwei exclaimed in surprise.
"It's coming from Huang Zeyu! But why can't I feel it?"
Gu Xicheng: "This kind of evil energy is different from that of evil cultivators. It is hidden very deeply, and it seems that only the Nine Nether Lotus Fire can sense it."
Lu Qing's brows gradually furrowed:
"If that's really the case, and I didn't feel anything at all, then this is much more serious than before. We need to notify the investigation bureau immediately."
Gu Xicheng: "Go find your brother!"
"Yes!" Lu Qing nodded.
The two arrived at the investigation bureau, only to find everyone looking serious.
Wang Yanjun came forward to greet him:
"You've come!"
"Brother, what's wrong with you guys?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Wang Yanjun: "What you just told me on the phone is indeed not simple. I'll take you to see the bureau chief first, and he will tell you."
Wang Yanjun led Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing through the corridor to a large door with multiple security codes.
"Follow me, and don't go the wrong way!"
The ground is covered with blocks, and if you step on the wrong block, you will trigger the defense mechanism.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng followed Wang Yanjun step by step, and finally managed to get through.
"Where is this place? How come we've never been here before?" Lu Qing asked.
Wang Yanjun turned around and grinned:
"Girl, this is the real Bureau for Investigating Abnormal Cases. Be careful later, don't get scared!"
Lu Qing looked suspicious. What could be so scary in here that could frighten her?
After entering the elevator, Wang Yanjun pressed the button for the 19th basement level.
The elevator is transparent and moves very slowly, stopping at almost every floor.
Lu Qing looked at the pitch-black surroundings, his brows furrowing slightly:
What's outside?
She had barely finished speaking when the elevator was violently bumped.
Caught off guard, Lu Qing was startled. Turning her head, she saw a headless girl using her head as a hammer to smash the elevator.
The elevator was covered in blood from being smashed, but the girl was smiling eerily.
"What is that!" Lu Qing frowned.
It's not that I'm scared, I just feel a little nauseous.
Wang Yanjun raised an eyebrow and smiled:
"How about that? Scared, huh!"
"What the hell is this?" Lu Qing asked.
Wang Yanjun: "The headless girl, her biological parents heard from someone that if they cut off her head and made soup with her brains, they could conceive a boy. So after she died, she became a vengeful ghost, killed a village, and was then imprisoned here."
No sooner had she finished speaking than another pair of red embroidered shoes appeared at the elevator entrance.
Wang Yanjun was already used to it and pointed to it as he introduced it:
"This is a ghost bride, forced into a ghost marriage, and has become a vengeful ghost!"
"That's a wolf child, this is a ghoul..."
As the elevator descended, Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng saw many demons and monsters.
"So this is the Bureau of Investigation's prison downstairs!"
Wang Yanjun nodded: "More or less!"
Finally, the elevator reached the bottom.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng walked out and saw a huge screen with a map of the entire country of China marked with red dots.
Li Hui stood in front of the screen, his expression solemn.
