1637 A Different Purpose (2)
As soon as Yang Ji agreed, he was afraid that Master Chi would be angry, so he subconsciously looked at her. He didn’t expect to hear Master Chi say in the next second, “Go! I’ll wait for you downstairs!”
Seeing that Master Chi didn’t stop him, Yang Ji was even more stupefied. When he saw that Master Chi wasn’t angry and was calm, Yang Ji heaved a sigh of relief. After confirming that Master Chi really wasn’t angry and wasn’t pretending, he relaxed. He wanted to say something, but hesitated. There were many people around, so he didn’t explain himself.
When Yuan Yuan heard Yang Ji agree, she relaxed in her heart. She booked another private room on the second floor of the cafe. The others were very curious about what Yuan Yuan wanted to say to Yang Ji in private, but it was probably a secret. Those who understood the situation couldn’t ask too much, so they could only obediently shut up and stay in this private room for the time being.
After Yang Ji and Yuan Yuan left for another private room, Chi Shuyan turned around and left. Feng Yuanlin caught up with her. When they were a little further away, Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but put his arm around Shuyan’s shoulders and say, “Shuyan, there’s something strange about that Yuan woman’s behavior. I keep feeling that this incident and what happened to the other victims have something to do with that Yuan woman, whether directly or indirectly!”
!!
It was a pity that in a society governed by law nowadays, what was important wasn’t sixth sense or intuition, but evidence.
Seeing how accurate Brother Feng’s guess was, Chi Shuyan tilted her head and couldn’t help but look at him. Brother Feng continued, “Shuyan, are you sure you can let Yang Ji talk to that Yuan woman alone? The more I think about it, the more I feel that she has an ulterior motive. I’m really a little worried!”
Feng Yuanlin added with a frown, “Just from what happened to Yan Liling, it can be seen that this Yuan woman isn’t a good person.”
“Well said, Brother Feng!” Chi Shuyan smiled at Brother Feng. Feng Yuanlin’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when Shuyan suddenly praised him instead of answering him directly.
Chi Shuyan curled her lip and said, “There’s no hurry, Brother Feng. We’ll talk as we walk. Why don’t you tell me your guess first?”
When it came to official business, Feng Yuanlin immediately turned serious. His expression was quite solemn, but was completely different from Qi Zhenbai’s stern face.
Brother Feng’s serious expression made a person subconsciously trust him, while Qi Zhenbai’s serious expression was intimidating. After thinking about it, Chi Shuyan felt that the most important thing was still the difference in personalities.
Chi Shuyan was only distracted for a while, before she instantly listened seriously to Brother Feng’s a.n.a.lysis. “Shuyan, I’ll say it again: I keep feeling that the woman’s sudden foresight ability is too strange and unrealistic. Why is it that only Yuan Yuan suddenly has the ability to predict things, and no one else?
“As for her wanting to see Yang Ji this morning for his sake, I almost believed her at first when I heard it. Later, I thought about how selfish this woman is. I really don’t think she can do something so selfless and righteous as if it’s for Yang Ji’s own good. She clearly knows more of the truth, but doesn’t care about the deaths of her companions. She says one thing and does another, and when someone dies, she puts on a show about how terrible she feels. I’ve seen a lot of people like this, but this woman is definitely the most selfish and coldest I’ve seen. Unless it harms her own interests, how can she have the time and mind to worry blindly about other people?”
Feng Yuanlin paused for a moment. Seeing Shuyan suddenly stop walking, he stopped as well and continued, “But I don’t know if what she said about Yang Ji dying is true or not. Shuyan, did you look at Yang Ji’s physiognomy just now? Does that kid have a short life?”
“Wait, Brother Feng, what did you say?” Chi Shuyan suddenly asked.
“D*mn, Shuyan, are you messing with me? How can I remember all that?” Feng Yuanlin pretended to complain with a bitter face, but he racked his brain to recall what he had just said.
“The last sentence. Brother Feng, think carefully!” Chi Shuyan said again.
Feng Yuanlin could only rack his brain to recall. Fortunately, his memory wasn’t as bad as he joked. He quickly remembered and replied, “Shuyan, was it that sentence, ‘how can she have the time and mind to worry blindly about other people?"”
“The whole section!”
Feng Yuanlin scratched his forehead and hesitated for a while before he recalled the entire section and repeated, “I’ve seen a lot of people like this, but this woman is definitely the most selfish and coldest I’ve seen. Unless it harms her own interests, how can she have the time and mind to worry blindly about other people?”
Chi Shuyan listened to Brother Feng’s recount, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. It was just as Brother Feng said: If something happened to Yang Ji, given how selfish that Yuan woman was, she definitely wouldn’t be impulsive or idle enough to worry about it unless her own interests were at risk. However, how could Yang Ji’s death endanger that Yuan woman? It made her so anxious that she couldn’t even care about her expressions and emotions. It was also because of this that the woman had shown a lot of aggression today.
Not only that, 90% of what this woman said today was fake. For example, she tried to scare the others by saying that Yang Ji would die for sure, but Chi Shuyan didn’t see any trace of a short life on Yang Ji’s face. Naturally, it wasn’t because Chi Shuyan was incapable of seeing it – that was just nonsense from that Yuan woman. But why was that Yuan woman deliberately spreading the rumor that Yang Ji would die for sure? What was her motive?
Chi Shuyan had always been very considerate of other people’s privacy, but given the urgent situation, she activated her spiritual energy and listened carefully to the conversation between Yang Ji and Yuan Yuan in the private room.
The Yuan woman took the initiative to ask Yang Ji, “Yang Ji, was it Miss Chi who saved you before? How did she save you? What happened on the night of the incident?”
“Weren’t we going to talk about Liling?”
Yuan Yuan sounded very indignant. She gritted her teeth and tried to coax Yang Ji. “Yang Ji, what I said in the private room before is true. I really did foresee your death, and it’s an especially tragic one. No one can save you, including that Miss Chi. If you let me know more, I might be able to help you save you!”
Yuan Yuan spoke earnestly, but Yang Ji obviously didn’t appreciate her kindness. “I just want to talk about Liling. What did she tell you before? Whether I die or not is my business, and has nothing to do with you!”
When Yang Ji said this, Chi Shuyan didn’t hear the Yuan woman say a word for a long while. She was probably choking. Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but laugh.
Feng Yuanlin was silent as he watched the series of changes in Shuyan’s expression. He could only wait for her reply, but after a long while, Shuyan still didn’t say a word. He couldn’t help but call out softly, “Shuyan?”
Chi Shuyan immediately shushed Brother Feng, then immediately expressed that she would tell him what was going on later. She then continued listening to Yang Ji and Yuan Yuan. After a while, Yuan Yuan finally said anxiously again, “Yang Ji, I rushed over this morning especially for you. If we hadn’t known each other for so many years, do you think I would care if you lived or died?”
Yang Ji didn’t reply. In the end, Yuan Yuan couldn’t help but threaten angrily, “Yang Ji, if you want to know what Liling asked me to pa.s.s on to you, you better answer my questions first!”
Hearing this, Chi Shuyan’s ears twitched. She withdrew her spiritual energy and stopped probing. At the same time, she was completely certain that the Yuan woman indeed had an ulterior motive.
After thinking about it, the main reason why the other party cared so much about what happened to Yang Ji was probably because Yang Ji had escaped this calamity.
Moreover, Chi Shuyan very much suspected that this variable had a huge impact on the Yuan woman. It was so big that she almost lost her mind and her composure. Otherwise, given this woman’s confidence and composure, how could she reveal so many flaws in one go? She might even lose her temper on the spot.
Chi Shuyan retracted her thoughts and replied unhurriedly to Brother Feng’s question. “That Yuan woman does have an ulterior motive. As for Yang Ji, he has already avoided death and his physiognomy has changed. He has a long lifespan, so nothing can happen to him!”
