1681 Something Really Happened to Xia Mingzhen
After breakfast, Chi Shuyan planned to part ways with the man at the entrance of the old residence and have Qi Hao send her to the police station. Before she could say anything, the man took the initiative to send her over.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t refuse the man’s good intentions, so she got into the car and let him send her to the police station. They got there at 9am sharp.
They parted ways reluctantly. After the man drove away, Chi Shuyan immediately walked toward the police station.
On the way, she ran into Xiao Shan, who was in a group. Xiao Shan’s eyes lit up when he saw Master Chi. He told the others to leave first, then greeted her warmly. “Master Chi! Director Feng is in his office. You can’t miss him.”
When Chi Shuyan saw Xiao Shan, a sincere smile appeared on her face. Hearing his words, she nodded and said, “Okay, got it. By the way, where are you going?”
“There was a brawl on Zhongshan Road. The police just got a call, and Director Feng sent us over to take a look.” Xiao Shan gave a simple account of the matter and didn’t waste time. He then excused himself to deal with the urgent matter.
When Chi Shuyan heard this, she didn’t waste Xiao Shan’s time. She patted his shoulder and immediately told him to head off.
Xiao Shan looked a little awkward and troubled, and didn’t leave immediately. Chi Shuyan looked at him in surprise, then heard him hesitate and ask, “Master Chi, can you give me a few Safety Talismans?”
Chi Shuyan was enlightened. She wasn’t stingy, but she didn’t give him any Safety Talismans, which would be useless for stopping a brawl. Instead, she simply took out a Strength Pill for him. Speaking of which, apart from giving Qi Hao a few bottles, she hadn’t really used these Strength Pills before. However, from Qi Hao’s experiments back then, the effects of the pill were good.
She handed it over and briefly explained the effect and duration of the Strength Pill, then exhorted Xiao Shan to be careful.
Xiao Shan’s eyes lit up and his face flushed red with excitement. He stared with intent joy as he hurriedly clutched the jade bottle in his hand. His hand shook, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Is it really that effective?”
“You can try it out later. Remember, be careful.” Chi Shuyan glanced at Xiao Shan’s physiognomy and saw that his forehead was glowing red.
But it wasn’t a strange bright red, which would be an ominous sign. On the contrary, there was a touch of other colors in this red light, which should be a sign of merit. He would probably complete this assignment perfectly.
Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief and didn’t waste any more of Xiao Shan’s time.
As the captain, Xiao Shan didn’t dare make the others wait any longer. The matter was urgent, so Xiao Shan could only suppress the gratitude and ecstasy in his heart. He said a few more words to her before he rushed out.
After Xiao Shan went out and got into the car, Chi Shuyan was about to enter the police station. Brother Feng happened to come out then, and spotted her. “Shuyan, you’re here?”
His eyes were as bright as Xiao Shan’s just now. For some reason, Chi Shuyan wanted to laugh. Without waiting for her to greet him, she heard Brother Feng say inquisitively, “I saw that rascal Xiao Shan sticking close to you just now. What was he doing? Doesn’t he know that I have something urgent to talk to you about?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything about the Strength Pill, and only said that she had exchanged greetings with him. Xiao Shan didn’t waste any time and immediately left.
Feng Yuanlin knew his subordinates very well. He snorted coldly and said, “That kid must want to take advantage and ask you about talismans again! I sent him to stop a brawl, not stop a ghost.”
Chi Shuyan took in Brother Feng’s expression. Seeing that he wasn’t truly angry and was just roasting Xiao Shan, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and curled her lip. “Brother Feng, Xiao Shan will definitely complete his assignment successfully this time. There might be a surprise when he comes back. Just you wait!”
Feng Yuanlin originally wanted to invite Shuyan in immediately, when he heard her words. He naturally believed her; what she said always came true. Feng Yuanlin was a bit surprised, but more than that, he was happy and curious. “Shuyan, are you serious? What’s the surprise?”
“I won’t say. We’ll talk about it when Xiao Shan and the others come back.” Chi Shuyan wasn’t deliberately keeping him in suspense; there were some things that didn’t need to be explained too clearly. How lamentable and boring would life be without expectations and surprises?
Feng Yuanlin choked and could only stop asking questions. He immediately invited Shuyan into his office. When the two entered, Feng Yuanlin had his subordinates bring Yang Ji and the others over.
Not long after, Yang Ji, Li Xiaoyan, Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong and Jiang Mingguang immediately rushed to Feng Yuanlin’s office.
When everyone saw Master Chi, their eyes lit up and they were very excited. Jiang Mingguang and Yang Ji said excitedly, “Master Chi, you’re here? Is there something urgent you need to tell us?”
Yang Ji and the others were excited and apprehensive, afraid that she was going to reveal who was going to die next!
There was no one among them who didn’t trust Master Chi now. Thinking back to what happened before, whatever Master Chi said would happen came true.
For example, Yang Ji, Huang Chong, and Chai Qing’s calamities.
And Chai Qing’s death was the outcome of not listening to Master Chi.
Everyone made up their minds to do whatever Master Chi told them to do, or to ask Master Chi for more talismans later.
Now that they thought about it, they had simply bought too few talismans from Master Chi before. They didn’t feel safe at all.
Chi Shuyan took in the apprehensive and panicked expressions of Yang Ji and the others. Feng Yuanlin couldn’t wait to ask, “Shuyan, what good idea were you talking about on the phone just now?”
As soon as Feng Yuanlin’s words exploded in everyone’s ears, Chi Shuyan’s phone rang before she could reply. She nodded apologetically at Brother Feng, took out her phone, and was about to end the call, when she saw that it was Xia Mingcheng. She could only answer the call first, and only heard crying on the other end. Not long after, Xia Mingcheng’s anxious and panicked voice rang out. “Chi… Chi… Master Chi, something happened to my brother. Can you… come over?”
