The day before yesterday, she received a call from Liu Mu, saying that Officer Xiao Ran had died. She was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.
Too many things have happened recently, one after another, making Xu Yi's mind a little confused.
"Didn't they say his body is basically stable? How could this happen?" Xu Yi asked.
Liu Mu's voice was low, and he was obviously in a bad mood. "He was assassinated, but the surveillance was destroyed at the time. The police are still investigating, but it is most likely related to the people from the Shadow Sect."
"It's all my fault. I thought he hadn't appeared for such a long time, so I let my guard down. I didn't expect that the boss would just disappear like that... I'm so sorry for him..."
Xu Yi sighed as he heard the heavy nasal sound coming from the phone.
"Don't be too sad. The most important thing now is to unite and catch that person."
After listening to Xu Yi's persuasion, Liu Mu came back to his senses, "Okay, I see, thank you, you should rest early."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yi arrived at the hospital late at night.
Lin Hong was no longer the man who was plugged into instruments a few days ago, but he was still a little weak and pale. He smiled at Xu Yi who had just entered the room.
"I didn't expect I'd still be alive. The doctor said if you had come a few minutes later, I would have died. Thank you, Xu Yi."
Xu Yi smiled brightly, looked at how much liquid was left in the infusion, and said, "Why are you saying this? You are Zheng Yibai's senior brother, and I am his eldest brother. It's only natural."
"By the way, who hurt you? Who could have done you this?"
Thinking of Lin Hong's penetrating wound, if it weren't for the last two resurrection pills, it would have been futile to save him.
Lin Hong frowned and recalled, "I don't know what happened. I just remember that I went up to the second floor and suddenly heard a strange sound of footsteps, followed by a burst of laughter from men and women. I turned around to see, but I was injured.
I accidentally broke into a room. The woman was naked. When she saw me coming in, she screamed and grabbed my chest. I was powerless to resist. Then, I woke up in the hospital.
After a brief thought, Xu Yi took out a photo and asked, "Female? Such strong fighting ability? Did you see her face clearly? Is it this person?"
Lin Hong looked at the photo carefully, shook his head and nodded, "This person's figure is very similar. The lights were off in the room at the time, so I couldn't see his face clearly."
He was seriously injured, and although he had regained consciousness, he still felt visibly exhausted. Lin Hong took a few deep breaths and continued to ask, "Who is this person? Do you know him? And who is the owner of that villa? Why did you go there to look for Xiaobai?"
Xu Yi then recounted in detail the incident of Senior Cheng being made into a doll and the village next to Boss Lu's villa.
After listening to Xu Yi's story, Lin Hong's heart sank. He was silent for a while and said:
"Xiaobai is probably in great danger."
"You should have told me these things, otherwise I would have gone with Xiaobai so I could have someone to look after him. Now he... hey... there must be something fishy about that Boss Lu and that Xu Ying. If we follow them closely, we're sure to find something!"
Maybe they were the ones who caused all this.
A few days ago, Xiaobai told me that we might have found the master's murderer. I asked him who it was, but he refused to tell me, saying he would find out more before telling me. If it's really that Boss Lu, do you think he still has a chance of survival?
Xu Yi felt uncomfortable listening to Lin Hong's words. Why hadn't she thought of this? Why hadn't she asked more questions these past few days even though she knew something was wrong with Xiao Bai?
Is she too cold-blooded and unable to warm up to anyone?
Xu Yi gritted her teeth and said, "We can't give up like this. We must find out the truth. Whether it's for Xiaobai or for the other victims."
Lin Hong nodded slightly, his eyes becoming firm.
"You should take good care of yourself now and leave everything to me. I will bring Xiaobai back safe and sound. Don't worry! Wait for my good news."
"Okay, feel free to contact me if you have any questions." Lin Hong said.
Xu Yi left Lin Hong's ward, paid the fee in advance on her mobile phone, explained to the doctor, and left.
Looking at the bright lights and bustling crowds on the street, Xu Yi was a little dazed, recalling the scenes of her acquaintance with Zheng Yibai.
She returned to the rental house tired, drank a large glass of water, relaxed, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took A Mao to the underworld.
With the experience of the previous two times, Xu Yi was familiar with the route this time. She quickly found her master, told him about recent events, and asked if Zheng Yibai was there.
After listening to Xu Yi's narration, the master felt that something was amiss and put down the wine pot. "Zheng Yibai? I'll go and see if anyone has taken him in these days. Yiyi, wait for the master here and don't run around."
After saying this, he disappeared, leaving only a shadow behind.
Xu Yi scratched his head. His master thought he was still young and was still the same as before, always asking him to wait for him there when there was danger.
This feeling made her feel warm inside.
She found a flat place to sit down and rest with her eyes closed.
She hadn't had a good rest these days. She had to follow Boss Lu during the day, and her mind was confused when she went to bed at night. Her arm was injured again, and she didn't feel very energetic.
In a state of half-dream, she felt someone gently patting her head. Xu Yi opened her eyes, still a little confused, "What? Master, what's going on? Is anyone here?"
The master smiled and said, "You must be very tired these past few days. You should rest. The person you are looking for is not in the underworld. There is a woman named Zheng Yibai."
Hearing Master's affirmative answer, Xu Yi suddenly regained hope and stood up:
"Master, you said he's not in the underworld, which means he must still be alive. Does that mean Zheng Yibai isn't dead?!"
"Either the person you are looking for is not dead, or he is on his way, or he is dead and for some reason is still stuck in the world of the living and has not come to the underworld." The master took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, then spoke slowly.
"He is definitely not dead. My little brother won't die so easily." Xu Yi clenched his fists.
"Master, how could a living person just disappear out of thin air?"
The master stroked his beard, savoring the wine he had just taken, feeling very satisfied. "It's easy for a ghost to disappear, but a person's disappearance will definitely leave traces. If you think about it carefully, there must be another way."
"Other methods, other methods? Oh, right, surveillance!! But there is no case filed, how to check the surveillance? Tracking talisman? Use paper man? Or..." Xu Yi pondered.
The master patted her head, just like when they were little. "Care too much and you'll be confused. Calm down and unravel many things. You'll figure it out soon. The times you live in are different now. You need to use what you need."
Xu Yi suddenly had an idea, and her eyes lit up, "Master, I understand. I'll leave first. I'll come to see you next time when I'm free!"
Looking at his apprentice who ran away like a gust of wind, the master took another sip of wine.
"This girl has turned into a crazy girl."
