I returned to the human world safely, and it was already dawn.
Xu Yi couldn't wait and took a taxi to Zhou Huaqing's residence. They say three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and she came to seek help.
Zhou Huaqing opened the door and looked at Xu Yi outside, feeling extremely angry.
"Why are you looking for me so early in the morning? You're disturbing my sweet dream. I just dreamed of counting money, and before I could finish counting, I heard someone banging on the door. You'd better say something!"
Xu Yi ignored Zhou Huaqing's rolling eyes and walked sideways inside. "Come on, let's talk inside. I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
Drinking steaming hot freshly squeezed soy milk, holding a big steamed bun in one hand, Xu Yi stuffed her mouth full and said incoherently, "It smells so good. I didn't have time to eat last night and I was starving."
"You're a starving ghost, you're so rude! I've swallowed all the freshly squeezed soy milk."
Zhou Huaqing rolled his eyes and looked disgusted, but still put the freshly peeled eggs into Xu Yi's bowl.
Xu Yi cleared the table of things, put down her bowl and chopsticks contentedly, and then talked about the purpose of this.
"A few days ago, you also knew that Xiaobai was missing. We went to...blah blah, that's how it is now. I suspect...so I want you to come with me so we can take care of him. If you have other helpers, that would be even better."
After listening to Xu Yi's narration, Zhou Huaqing stroked his beard and frowned.
"After you left the salon this time, the leader of the Shadow Clan didn't show up at all. We thought something had gone wrong, but it seems like this is the calm before the storm. What do you want to do now?
If we barge into someone's house and they call the police, we'll all be in jail."
Xu Yi sat up straight, looking serious. "There's no other way now. Xiaobai is out there for one more day, and it's been three days since he disappeared. I'm not even sure if he's still alive."
"My legs and feet are not very convenient, so I just don't want to hold you back." Zhou Huaqing nodded and agreed.
Most of his body was already buried in the soil, and Zheng Yibai was a nice guy who offered to help if he could.
"But the ones I'm friends with are all old men, and they don't go out easily. You'll have to find other helpers."
Seeing that Zhou Huaqing agreed, she didn't mind not having any other helpers. Xu Yi nodded and briefly explained her plan.
"Since breaking into someone else's house is not a good idea, then outside...how do you think about this?"
"Okay, let's try it." Zhou Huaqing nodded.
…
A car slowly drove into the gate of the villa, and the woman in the passenger seat opened the door first and got out.
The man also came down quickly and walked forward with concern. "How are you? Are you tired? Take a good hot bath and rest well later. Have you been able to handle the past two days? Are you feeling unwell?"
The woman shook her head. "I've been fine these days, don't worry. The blood I got last time was very good, and I used it very well."
The man looked at the woman's smooth and fair face and couldn't help but be mesmerized.
"That's good, Princess. Rest well and leave the rest to me."
The woman nodded and turned away. "Okay, then be careful. I'm going to rest first."
The man didn't look away until the woman's figure completely disappeared around the corner of the stairs. He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
"Xu Yi, I hope you don't blame me... We are not the same kind of people after all."
After stubbing out the cigarette in the ashtray, the man stood up and walked towards the stairs.
…
Xu Yi took a deep breath and smiled. When she heard the voice coming from the phone, she said, "Hey, Boss Lu, are you and Xu Ying free to have dinner together today? I agreed to treat you last time, but something happened to delay me. Now that I'm free today, are you guys available?"
Boss Lu saw Xu Ying nod beside him and replied, "Sure, I have time. Lunch or dinner?"
"Let's have lunch. We can play for a while after lunch." Xu Yi thought to herself.
"What do you want to eat? I'll go buy some groceries. How about hot pot and barbecue?"
Boss Lu smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Okay, we'll come over later."
Xu Yi gritted her teeth, suppressed her emotions, and said, "Okay, see you later. I'll go prepare things first. I'll send you the address, and you can just come over according to the address."
"Okay, see you later, thank you for the treat." said Boss Lu.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yi started to get busy.
Time passed quickly. It was almost 11 o'clock when the doorbell rang. Xu Yi composed herself and quickly ran over to open the door.
Looking at the handsome and beautiful couple Boss Lu and Xu Ying, Xu Yi waved her hand.
"Hi, you're here, please come in."
"Excuse me, I didn't know what you like, so I brought you a bottle of wine. The new cake in the store is also good, you can try it."
Boss Lu still looks so gentle.
Xu Yi took the red wine and cake from Boss Lu and made way for him. "Thank you. Just come. What gifts do you bring? Come in first."
"Just sit down and take a rest. It will be fine in a moment."
Boss Lu and Xu Ying were not polite. They looked around, sat on the sofa, and drank the hot tea prepared by Xu Yi.
Seeing the two of them sitting down and chatting, Xu Yi hid behind the kitchen door and sent a message.
"You can get started now. Contact us anytime if there's any progress."
After sending the message, she turned her phone to vibrate mode and put it in her pocket, then took out the hot pot and the prepared dishes and placed them on the table in the yard.
