Let her leave?

Why?

When Cheng Ji heard his words, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes were cold and sinister, "Father, the surname of this house is Cheng, not Qin, please don't interfere too much!"

Shangguan Qing had done him a favor, so no one could drive her away.

"Okay! You've grown strong enough. Fine, I'll leave! Don't regret it later!"

Qin Guotao came in with a lot of anger and left with an even bigger anger.

After the farce, the huge living room finally returned to peace.

Youxuan, who had been sitting aside and not daring to speak, felt his heart almost in his throat.

If his master hadn't lost his spiritual power, based on her usual character of taking action without talking nonsense, Qin Guotao would have been almost dead.

"Well... I have something else to do so I have to leave first. Sister Shangguan, call me if you have anything."

Don't stay in a place of trouble for long. Among the thirty-six strategies, the best way is to escape first.

As soon as Shangguan Qing nodded, he ran away as if he had greased his feet.

Shangguan Qing, "......"

Cheng Ji, "......"

The living room was once again so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Only the sound of gears turning from the wall clock made a rhythmic "tick-tick" sound.

The two of them suddenly fell into an awkward situation, tacitly not daring to look at each other, and their eyes avoided looking around.

In the end, Cheng Ji couldn't help but speak first, "Thank you for just now."

Willing to speak up for him.

"Well, you should thank me." She was not polite. She paused and turned her eyes. "Come with me to the antique shop later and I'll get you something."

"good."

After packing up, the two drove away from Cheng's house.

Because it was lunch time, there was a serious traffic jam on the road.

A magnificent Maybach was stuck at the back of the traffic, with the way forward seemingly out of reach.

They had to change their plans and go to eat first and then go to the antique shop to avoid the traffic jam during lunch break.

Cheng Ji chose a high-end Chinese restaurant nearby, which was located on the fourth floor of the shopping mall.

The car stopped steadily in the underground garage. The two got out and walked towards the elevator to go upstairs.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance.

"Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng!"

A middle-aged man in a suit and with a beer belly jogged over, breathing heavily.

When Cheng Ji saw the person coming, he frowned and tried hard to recall, to make sure that he had never seen him before.

The middle-aged man introduced himself enthusiastically, his face full of wrinkles from smiling.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm the director of Hengxin Medical Institution. When I saw you getting out of the car just now, I thought I recognized the wrong person, haha!"

"I have cooperated with your group before, but I was only in contact with your subordinates. You don't know them——"

"Contact my assistant for any cooperation matters. Now is my private time."

Cheng Ji's face turned cold and he interrupted impatiently.

The man immediately put away his flattering fake smile and kept bowing to apologize, "Ah! Sorry, sorry! Look at my good sense! Then I won't bother you anymore."

The man turned around, waved and said goodbye as he walked into the parking lot.

Cheng Ji took out his cell phone, called Li Yang, and ordered in a cold voice, "Add Hengxin Medical Institution to the group's blacklist."

The person on the other end of the line responded immediately, "Yes, Mr. Cheng."

In a car in the parking lot, a phone call was also going on.

As soon as the middle-aged man got back into the car, he stared at the elevator entrance with a sly look in his eyes, as if he had the word "thief" written on his forehead.

"Boss Qin, I'm sure it was Cheng Ji. He drove a car, not only without a bodyguard, but also without an assistant. He also had a beautiful woman with him."

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but the man nodded.

"Okay! After this is done, can you give me my investment money?"

After a few seconds, the man became visibly agitated.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of it. Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

Danger is brewing quietly in the dark, while the person involved is still enjoying the food upstairs without noticing.

Cheng Ji booked a VIP room on the way here. Although the room was not very large, the decoration of this restaurant was quite high-end.

The doors of the private rooms are all ancient wooden doors, and the tables, chairs, screens, and even the murals on the walls are all traditional and ancient, with no modern elements mixed in.

When she walked in, she had the illusion that she had gone back a thousand years.

The two sat down and the waiter next to them handed the menu to Shangguan Qing.

In cases like this where a man and a woman come to eat and don't address each other as brother or sister, the waiters will assume that they are a couple.

When a couple has a meal together, the initiative naturally lies with the woman.

Shangguan Qing thanked the waiter, took the menu, and without even looking at it, handed it directly to Cheng Ji.

"You choose, I choose dysphoria."

The main reason is that she has no desire for food, and she has become tired of the food she used to like over the years.

Cheng Ji ordered boiled fish, braised pork, four-happiness meatballs, old duck soup, and a portion of seasonal vegetables.

Two people ordered portions for three or four people.

Seeing that he ordered so much, Shangguan Qing tugged at his sleeve, frowned slightly and glanced at the menu, indicating that it was a waste to order too much.

It wasn't that she was short of money, nor that she had never eaten before, she just simply felt it was unnecessary.

Let’s say no to waste, starting with me.

He explained, "The first time I invite you out for dinner, I have to order a few more dishes. If you can't finish them, I can pack them up and take them home."

Hearing this, she had no choice but to let go.

It took more than an hour for the two to finish their meal.

They took the elevator directly to the underground garage.

Just when Cheng Ji helped Shangguan Qing open the passenger door, a strange sound came from inside the car.

The rustling sound is very small but dense, making people feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Ji lowered his head and saw it first, and for a moment he was stunned in place because of the stress reaction.

Shangguan Qing saw that he was motionless and in an abnormal state, so he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

She was about to lean over to take a look when he covered his eyes with his hands.

Then, the car door slammed shut with a loud bang.

His voice was low and a little flustered, "Don't look!"

Shangguan Qing took his hand away and found that his face suddenly turned pale. He covered his chest with one hand and even breathing became difficult.

"What's wrong with you?" Shangguan Qing hurriedly supported him, looking worried.

"It's okay... Just wait for me to recover."

Cheng Ji closed his eyes, held the car door with one hand, and took deep breaths to try to calm himself.

Shangguan Qing patted him on the back to help him calm down.

After about five or six minutes, Cheng Ji's condition improved a lot.

He took out his cell phone and called Li Yang.

"Come pick me up, bring bodyguards, and check the surveillance cameras in the mall's underground parking garage."

"Yes, Mr. Cheng." Li Yang responded on the other end.

He wanted to see who was repeatedly testing his minefield.

After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Qing became more curious about the things in the car.

"What did you see just now?" She frowned slightly, and her tone became a little serious because of worry.

Cheng Ji didn't want to lie to her.

"It's a snake. I have a serious psychological trauma to snakes. Once I see one, I will have difficulty breathing and feel weak."

Shangguan Qing reacted, "It's like a person with claustrophobia who will have a psychological reaction when in a confined and narrow environment."

He nodded, "Almost."

When Cheng Ji was four years old, he was tricked into a deserted suburb, surrounded by piles of weeds half a meter high.

No matter how much he cried and screamed, no one saved him.

His grandmother had just passed away at that time, and his grandfather was the only one taking care of him.

Little Cheng Ji kept shuttling back and forth in the weeds, but he couldn't see any exit. The sharp leaves of the weeds left wounds of varying sizes on his legs and arms.

Just as he was about to walk out of the weeds, a slender green snake made a rustling sound and kept approaching Xiao Cheng Ji, smelling the blood.

Screams, shouts, cries and roars from a four-year-old.

One after another...

He also suffered severe psychological trauma from the experience and suffered selective amnesia.

He forgot how he escaped in the end and woke up in the hospital.

But the snake as an animal has become a psychological trauma for him.

Once seen, the psychological protection mechanism will be triggered.

Even seeing a psychiatrist won't help.

Shangguan Qing turned his gaze towards the car, his tone cold and stiff, "I think I left something in the car, I'll go look for it."

A mere snake dares to act wildly over her head.

Cheng Ji held the car door tightly, "When Li Yang arrives, I'll ask him to get it for you."

Li Yang OS: Thank you Mr. Zhou for remembering me at the critical moment...

Shangguan Qing sighed and pretended to look at his wrist, "But I seem to have forgotten it in the restaurant. How about you help me find it? It's a bracelet, and I'm too lazy to go back up there."

"Okay, then you wait for me."

Before he left, he reminded everyone, "Don't touch the car door, what if it's poisonous?"

This kind of life-threatening matter is no joke.

"I know, I won't." She smiled faintly, "How could I do anything dangerous?"

After hearing her words, Cheng Ji finally felt relieved and took the elevator upstairs.

The moment the elevator door closed, Shangguan Qing's expression suddenly turned cold.

She half-closed her eyes and turned to face the inside of the car.

A solemn and murderous aura arose spontaneously, and the whole body was filled with inviolable majesty and coldness.

The car door slowly opened, and the rustling sound inside the car was heard again.

Shangguan Qing stood outside the car door, with one hand casually placed on the door, looking down with cold eyes at the panicking flower snake.

It's just a small snake half a meter long, and it dares to show off its presence in front of her?

When the flower snake saw the sullen face of the Lord of the Underworld, it was so frightened that it immediately hid under the seat, trembling and not daring to come out.

Oh!

Now I know I’m afraid.

Too late!

Shangguan Qing roared in a low voice, "Get out of here!"

The flower snake dared not disobey, and cautiously popped its head out, spitting out its tongue.

"Sir, listen to my explanation. I was also suddenly grabbed into a sack and thrown into the car."

It's innocent too...

As soon as I realized that the other party was Lord of the Netherworld, I have been looking for a way out.

I really didn't mean to scare her, and the man next to her...

After saying that, it hastily added, "I also heard someone say, 'Since Cheng Ji is afraid of snakes, give him one as an appetizer. The climax is yet to come.'"

"My Lord, I really didn't lie to you!"

It shrank its head, feeling so aggrieved that it almost cried.

These people had the bad luck to send it to the Lord of the Underworld. Isn't this sending it to the underworld?

Shangguan Qing thought it didn't have the courage to do so. Every grievance has its perpetrator and the debt should be investigated.

"Is the person who threw you in the car still here?"

The flower snake could smell the other party's scent, spit out its tongue, and nodded, "Here."
