Chapter 584: Good Stamina
Feng Shanshan knew how good his stamina was, so she stopped asking.
“The keys are in my pocket. Take them yourself,” Tang Yan told Feng Shanshan while driving.
Feng Shanshan looked at his lower body and blushed. But she did not flinch and put her hand into his pocket.
“The medical kit is in the drawer in the bedroom. Get it yourself and take the medicine.”
“Okay.”
By the time she finished her word, Tang Yan had already pulled up somewhere safe.
When Feng Shanshan got out of the car, her face was as pale as a sheet.
Tang Yan did not leave immediately. Only after he saw Feng Shanshan get into a cab did he return to the hill.
Seeing Tang Yan catch up with them so quickly, Mu Qiqi asked, “Shanshan has gone back already?”
“Yes,” replied Tang Yan
“Then I shall go and take a look at her after going back. She is a pitiful girl for having no friends and family,” Mu Qiqi deliberately said.
Tang Yan did not say anything and walked ahead of everyone. Mu Qiqi looked at his back. She was eager to know whether or not he cared about Feng Shanshan.
He was a very clever person. He knew Mu Qiqi was just saying all those words and would not really go to Feng Shanshan’s house. She could just call her if she wanted to know Feng Shanshan’s condition.
The team climbed up the hill and visited the six families living on the hillside. These six families were good citizens and most of them were the elderly. Why would young people stay there anyway?
However, what they found strange was a sculpture similar to a statue of a Buddha at the right corner of the doors of each family. They seemed to be obsessed with spiritualism.
After another hour of hiking, they finally reached the peak of the hill.
“That’s the temple, on the top of the hill.” A policeman pointed at the place where the bluestone steps led to.
“We will go to the temple, and the rest of you go to the remaining six houses,” ordered the team leader.
Tang Yan and Mu Qiqi followed the team leader. But the nearer she got to the entrance of the temple, the more uneasy she felt.
Because the murals on the temple walls were the same as the tattoos on the victims’ bodies.
When they walked into the temple, they saw several statues of Buddha. The statues weren’t anything special, but Mu Qiqi found them strange, very strange.
“What have you discovered, Qiqi?”
“The murals on the wall are not blessings, but curses.” Mu Qiqi shared her thoughts. “I think the death of the victims must have something to do with the murals. Is there any abbot or manager living in this temple?”
“They’re asking about that,” said the team leader. “Take a look around. Since we’re here, try not to miss any clue.”
“This place was very peculiar. It smells weird. Can you smell it?” Mu Qiqi automatically searched for the source of the smell.
The rest nodded and searched for the source of the weird smell too. At last, on one side of the road, they found a cellar.
“The cellar is normally used to store food. Maybe it’s just the smell of rotten food.”
“No.” Mu Qiqi shook her head. “Rotten food shouldn’t have a b.l.o.o.d.y smell.”
They were alerted at once. Two of the policemen opened the wooden door of the cellar and entered carefully. Then, they ran out pinching their noses.
“It’s probably the place where the corpses were dismembered. There are some broken bones and human tissues in there.”
The whole team got busy immediately. Some of them collected evidence and fingerprints, some took pictures, and some interviewed the people. All sorts of things had to be done on the hill.
“Look at all these broken bones. Looking at the wounds on the corpses, it should be something like a saw,” said Mu Qiqi to the team. “Let’s look around and see if we can find the weapon.”
…
At three o’clock, in the office of the CEO of Zhongteng.
Sheng Xiao looked at his watch frequently, thinking that the little one was probably going to break her promise again.
When the secretary saw him, he knew his boss must have made a promise with his wife. Otherwise, the chief would not have looked at his watch more than three times in such a short period.
However, poor chief, he was going to get stood up by his wife.
After much contemplating, the secretary decided to knock on the door. “Chief Sheng, this is the thing from the designer.”
“Give it to me.” Sheng Xiao did not raise his head.
These should be their wedding rings. But since the little one was not coming, she might as well not get the ring.
This was the product he designed with the designer. And it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
At four o’clock, Mu Qiqi rushed to Zhongteng, but Sheng Xiao was having a meeting. When the secretary saw her, he said, “Mistress, why don’t you take a shower and get changed first? There are clothes in the office. The chief prepared them for you.”
“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll go and wash up,” said Mu Qiqi.
Knowing that she would get smelly wherever she went, Sheng Xiao prepared that for her.
Her man’s level of care for her was so over the limit!
Mu Qiqi entered Sheng Xiao’s private lounge and took a quick shower. Even after she was done blowing her hair, Sheng Xiao was still in the meeting.
So, Mu Qiqi sat on his chair in the office. Right then, she saw the cufflinks she gave him before. He still placed them somewhere so visible.
They were so ugly and childish, but he didn’t mind letting people laugh at him.
Thinking of this, Mu Qiqi realized that she didn’t seem to have given him other presents. So, she planned to prepare something that would make him happy and allow him to show off to people.
When Sheng Xiao left the meeting room and walked into the office, he saw someone sleeping on his desk.
The secretary was worried that she might catch a cold, so he had covered her with a blanket. He knew that his boss would get angry if she was not comfortable.
Sheng Xiao did not wake Mu Qiqi up. Instead, he squatted to check her feet.
No matter how comfortable a pair of shoes were, they would still wear out her feet if she walked too much. This little one was too bad at being lazy.
Standing behind Sheng Xiao, the secretary was dumbfounded. Who knew that the chief who conquered the business world had such a side of him?
“Xiaoxiao… I was not late on purpose.”
Seeing her mumbling in her sleep, Sheng Xiao smiled and stood up. He said to his secretary, “Give me the doc.u.ments, and don’t let anyone come in and disturb me.”
“Yes, chief.”
Mu Qiqi slept all the way until seven o’clock in the evening. She was staying with Sheng Xiao, but in a different sense.
When she woke up, she heard Sheng Xiao talking with Mama Sheng on the phone. He lowered his voice. “We’re not going back for dinner. She is with me now.”
