1706 Next Is Li Xiaoyan
Because of Li Xiaoyan’s tragic death, Chi Shuyan was absent-minded as she took a taxi to school. Before she entered the university, she called Brother Feng and said that she would come by the police station in the afternoon.
Feng Yuanlin thought it was about the Strength Pill; Shuyan didn’t have to send them over herself. He immediately said, “Shuyan, there’s no need to trouble you over such a small matter. I’ll go to the university to look for you. I can treat you to lunch. How about we go to Imperial Restaurant?”
Chef Li’s cooking was really good. Feng Yuanlin wasn’t a foodie, but the thought of the various tasty assortment of dishes at Imperial Restaurant was tempting. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the time to go there every day.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that Brother Feng was drooling over Chef Li’s cooking; she said seriously, “Brother Feng, I’ll go over at noon. It’s not a small matter. There’s been some progress with that Yuan woman. I want to see Yang Ji and the others. By the way, pay special attention to Li Xiaoyan for the next few days. It’s best not to let her go out casually.”
Feng Yuanlin was stunned and was about to pry information out of Shuyan, when she quickly said, “Class is about to start. I’ll hang up first. Brother Feng, see you at noon!”
After Chi Shuyan hung up, Feng Yuanlin didn’t come back to his senses for a long time. Wait, Shuyan had just said that there was progress with Yuan Yuan, and she had told him to keep an eye on Li Xiaoyan. Could it be that it was Li Xiaoyan’s turn next?
After guessing that something might happen to Li Xiaoyan, Feng Yuanlin was no longer in the mood to think about food. He immediately had someone call his subordinates, Wu Haoming and Tang Yunming, to come over.
Wu Haoming and Tang Yunming thought that Director Feng had news about the Strength Pill, and they were especially excited. It had to be pointed out that when they thought of what Xiao Shan had said about the benefits of the Strength Pill and how he had suddenly become Hercules in front of them, they were overjoyed and excited.
If Director Feng hadn’t strictly forbidden them from approaching Master Chi, how could they still be able to remain calm?
Wu Haoming and Tang Yunming were cheerful when they entered Director Feng’s office. “Director Feng, does Master Chi have news about the Strength Pill? If I have something as good as that, I can definitely make a contribution.”
After Tang Yunming said that, Wu Haoming immediately echoed him and even shamelessly suggested, “Director Feng, why don’t you give me one of those Strength Pills, and I’ll test it out for you?”
This was the first time Feng Yuanlin knew how thick-skinned Tang Yunming could be. He waved his hand in disgust for the two of them to calm down and said coldly, “Don’t think about the Strength Pill for now; there’s something important for the two of you to do. Keep an eye on Li Xiaoyan for the next few days. If she suddenly wants to go out, follow her and report her whereabouts to me at all times!”
Tang Yunming and Wu Haoming regretfully restrained their excitement and nodded. “Yes, Director Feng!”
“Go out and do your own thing!”
“Yes, Director Feng!”
In the afternoon, Chi Shuyan had a bit of lunch before she immediately rushed to the police station. Feng Yuanlin was already waiting in his office, and was having takeout for lunch.
Now that they knew that Xiao Shan’s Strength Pill was from Master Chi, Feng Yuanlin’s subordinates were simply even more cordial and enthusiastic toward her than they would be toward their own mothers.
Chi Shuyan was stupefied, and only relaxed when she entered Brother Feng’s office. Feng Yuanlin also knew why Shuyan had come to the police station, and immediately arranged for her to go and see Yang Ji and the others.
Chi Shuyan came at the right time, and happened to run into Xia Mingcheng, who was leaving after seeing Yang Ji and the others.
Xia Mingcheng was very happy to run into Master Chi at the police station, and let her know that his brother was doing well.
Chi Shuyan exchanged a few words with him.
When Xia Mingcheng saw Master Chi, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave the police station. Instead, he followed her to see Yang Ji and the others.
Yang Ji and the others were doing pretty well. They were no longer as traumatized by what happened to Chai Qing.
In fact, Yang Ji and Huang Chong were fine and could go home at any time. Feng Yuanlin had also suggested it, but the trauma from the previous incident had been too great. Before this matter was completely over, they wouldn’t be at ease staying at home. It was better for everyone to stay together all the time; it was just that it could get a little boring sometimes.
Although it looked like they were being detained in the holding cell at the police station, they hadn’t committed any crimes. The accommodations were good, and they could come and go as they pleased. Nothing had happened recently, and their days were pretty smooth.
Yang Ji and the others had just seen Xia Mingcheng and were in a very good mood. Now that Master Chi had personally come to the police station to see them, they were very happy and excited.
Yang Ji was quick to greet her enthusiastically. “Master Chi, why are you here?”
The others immediately echoed him. “That’s right, Master Chi, why are you here?”
Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a hurry to reply to them. Her eyes first fell on Li Xiaoyan, who was behind Yi Junzhong. Sure enough, she saw a red line on her forehead, which meant that she was next.
At the thought of Li Xiaoyan’s tragic death, Chi Shuyan frowned. She had become much more familiar with Yang Ji and the others recently. Although Li Xiaoyan usually didn’t like to talk and had a weak presence, they were still familiar with each other. Chi Shuyan really didn’t want to see her die, let alone in such a tragic way.
Yang Ji and the others weren’t stupid. Seeing Master Chi stare at Li Xiaoyan without saying anything, their hearts thumped and their right eyelids twitched. They felt very uneasy.
Feng Yuanlin and Xia Mingcheng’s expressions also inexplicably darkened, and they looked a little uneasy.
Who knew if it was because of the atmosphere, but Li Xiaoyan’s face and lips turned deathly pale. Her lips trembled and she plucked up the courage to ask, but Xia Mingcheng beat her to it. “Master Chi, could it be Xiaoyan is next?”
