Chapter 18 Seeking the Skin of a Tiger
In the end, Yu Zhi was carried back to the room by Pei Yuezhou.
She seemed to be sleeping uneasy, mumbling something, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Pei Yuezhou gently wiped it off for her with his fingertips.
He stayed by her side until Yu Zhi fell into a deep sleep, then he left the room without making a sound.
He immediately contacted his subordinates: "Go and check who the wife met and what happened after she left the restaurant."
There was a response from the other end.
The door behind him was only half-open. When he looked back sideways, the soft light from inside shone on his face, while behind him was pitch black.
He seemed to be standing in the abyss, greedily peeping at the warm light.
Pei Yuezhou resisted the urge to touch, looked deeply at the person on the bed, turned around and stepped into deeper darkness.
The low-key supercar drove from the bustling streets to the remote suburbs and arrived at a private area.
After seeing the license plate number clearly, the guards were so frightened that they woke up and let the car pass.
Pei Yuezhou came to an extremely private apartment without any bodyguards.
The people inside were very alert and did not open the door immediately.
The flashing white light from the surveillance camera was a bit dazzling, causing him to squint slightly in displeasure.
After confirming the identity, the door was opened immediately.
The person who opened the door was a tall, thin man wearing glasses and with a look of panic on his face: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know you were coming."
In a luxurious apartment, a woman with a cold appearance sat on the sofa, staring at the handsome man in front of the table without blinking. The atmosphere was a bit weird.
Even after Pei Yuezhou entered the room, the atmosphere in the room did not improve, but instead became more tense.
The woman stood up immediately, her eyes tinged with anger: "What do you mean by getting a fake one?"
Could it be that he missed his brother too much and resorted to substitute literature? For someone as cold-hearted as him, even if he had true friendship, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much.
Besides, Pei Yuezhou is a little crazy, but he doesn't seem like such a boring person.
The man who was called an imposter swallowed timidly and wanted to flee the scene immediately for fear of being implicated.
Pei Yuezhou didn't cause any ripples because of her attitude. The smile on his lips looked very creepy: "Of course it's a surprise for the Song family."
The woman understood that he was going to take complete action against the Song family.
She frowned and glanced at the trembling man who wanted to flee the scene. The disgust in her heart was self-evident: "Relying on this loser? Don't be ridiculous."
Apart from looking 80% similar to Song Yu, he has no other good qualities.
In fact, when Shen Luoyin saw him for the first time, she was in a trance, but after seeing the flattering smile on the man's face, she came to her senses.
They only look similar, but they are not old friends at all.
"I don't need him to do anything. I just want Song Yu to appear alive in front of the Song family."
Shen Luoyin also knew the purpose of Pei Yuezhou bringing him here, and he wanted to cooperate with her.
Shen Luoyin couldn't guess what he was thinking, and didn't know how much of his intention was for Song Yu, but he knew that once the man in front of him went crazy, he would not care about anything and would be very dangerous.
She was deeply aware that associating with him was like trying to get the skin of a tiger, and she might end up in an irretrievable situation one day.
But she couldn't refuse.
The scene of Song Yu's tragic death replayed in front of her eyes over and over again, making it impossible for her to forget the regret and pain in her heart.
No matter what the cost, she would do her best to drag those snakes and rats of the Song family to hell.
Shen Luoyin looked at the man in front of him who had a beautiful face but looked like a ghost standing under the lamp, and silently accepted the invitation from the abyss.

Yu Zhi has been trying to figure out how to get the whereabouts of the cemetery from Pei Yuezhou these days, but she can't tell him directly.
The idea of a resurrection potion and bones was too bizarre, and it also violated the bureau's regulations. She had signed a confidentiality agreement on her first day, which prohibited her from revealing any information to the outside world.
【Could it be possible to get him drunk?】
Yu Zhi lay on the table, very dejected: "No, A Yue is allergic to alcohol."
Will it be fatal?
Yu Zhi thought about it and decided that this wouldn’t happen. The only problem would be that her body would turn red, and in severe cases it would be very itchy.
Xiaoshui immediately urged her: "Why don't you prepare the medicine in advance? We are trying to save people, so we have to act swiftly."
Yu Zhi's thoughts suddenly jumped for some reason: "But have you ever thought about the possibility that a buried dead person would suddenly come back to life and be taken away for experiments?"
Xiaoshui was speechless: [We've already done our best by providing information. It's not our job to rationalize it. Why bother with so much?]
"Curious."
Just thinking about that scene feels a bit weird.
Yu Zhi began to feel a little relieved. Fortunately, Yu Heng was just a vegetative state. Even if he woke up suddenly, it would not be unacceptable. At most, people would sigh that he had a tough life.
[So, are you going to drink or not? ]
Apart from this method, Xiaoshui really couldn't think of any other conventional way to get any information out of that highly vigilant man.
If there is, then the other party would probably be willing to say it.
Yu Zhi hesitated for a while, but finally took the electronic key and came to the wine cellar of the old house.
Although the wine in the house is basically not touched, people are still sent here to clean it regularly, so it can be said that it is very clean.
The interior decoration style is somewhat simple and rustic, and there is also a built-in cocktail bar. Although the expensive utensils on it are just decorations, the wealthy Pei family will still replace and maintain them regularly. The main point is that they are rich and willful.
Yu Zhi walked between the shelves, scanning the labels on the bottom of the wooden barrels one by one.
[Vodka, rum, tequila... they have a pretty good selection. Why don't you make him a Long Island Iced Tea? He doesn't drink much anyway, so he definitely won't be able to tell.]
Yu Zhi: "He just doesn't drink it. It's not like he's never been exposed to it before. He's not that easy to fool."
"Then let's get a strong liqueur. Didn't that guy teach you how to stack strong liquors when we were doing the quest before?"
Yu Zhi was a little tempted. After all, liqueur was what girls liked, and a grown man like him who hardly drank should not be able to tell the difference.
But she didn't plan to choose the one Xiaoshui suggested because the alcohol content was too high and it might cause stomach burns for him who doesn't drink.
So Yu Zhi chose Baileys.
The degree is relatively low but it should not be underestimated.
She added extra vanilla cream.
After the task was completed, Yu Zhi returned to the hall with the medicine in her pocket and a large cup of Baileys.
Before coming to the wine cellar, she asked the housekeeper, who said that Pei Yuezhou was handling an emergency meeting in the study.
The meeting should be over by now, right?
Yu Zhi hesitated, but still knocked on the study door.
"Come in."
His pleasant voice came from the megaphone outside the door, so close that it seemed to be right next to her ear, making her ears feel inexplicably hot.
