Chapter 98: Chapter 98: 6 PM_1
As people speculated about Fan Yi’s identity, you had already left the banquet, and even Wu Qiyi followed you out.
Before parting, Wu Qiyi looked at you and asked, "Has the Detective Agency found its office location yet? If not, I might be able to offer one."
"We’ve found one, a real haunted house." As you said this, the corners of your mouth tilted upward, revealing a brilliant smile. You had indeed gained a lot today, to say the least.
Wu Qiyi’s smile remained serene and elegant, "In that case, I’ll bring Panpan to see it tomorrow."
Hearing Wu Qiyi’s words, you realized that since the Detective Agency had been established, everyone had not really gathered together for a meeting. Promptly, you said to Wu Qiyi, "Let’s meet at No. 72, Baojia Street tomorrow evening at six o’clock. We’ll have a meeting then and decide on our next steps."
Seeing Wu Qiyi nod, you turned and left with Fan Yi.
Although Yin Guihua really wanted to stay, seeing that you and Fan Yi had left, she could only bow deeply to Wu Qiyi and then hurried after Fan Yi.
Ning Cheng didn’t dare stay long; after all, he was originally a marginal figure, but now he was very clear in his mind that if he wanted to make greater progress in his career and advance his ideals, Yin Guihua would be his greatest support in the future.
With this decided resolution, Ning Cheng also strode to catch up with Yin Guihua’s pace...
For many university students, the four years of college may seem lengthy, but in reality, it passes in the blink of an eye.
Many spend their time either immersed in online games or it slips away quietly during moments of romance and pleasure.
Nightfall came quickly, and you arrived early at No. 72, Baojia Street.
As you stepped into the villa’s garden, the sturdy wooden door opened automatically.
"Eee—creeeak..."
At this time, as dusk approached and the street had few passersby, most people would be frightened away at the sight of such a scene.
But you laughed because you saw Nie Ying floating in mid-air, pulling faces at you.
Once inside, you found that Yang Kai, Wei Shuxian, Liao Yong, and Jin Qi were actually playing cards in the living room, while Tao Wenwen and Hu Meili were intently reading a collection of horror stories.
Glancing around, you noticed that Zong Wangyue, who was usually inseparable from Jin Qi, was missing. You couldn’t help asking, "Where’s Zongzi? Why don’t I see him?"
Jin Qi was about to speak when Yang Kai interjected, "That fatso said he had something to do this morning, asked the teacher for a leave, and went out."
Seeing you come over, Wei Shuxian asked, "Old Shu, has Madman been hospitalized?"
You nodded, "Yeah, the kid got stabbed, and although it didn’t hit anything vital, he needs to rest in the hospital for a few days."
Yang picked his nose and flicked it to the floor, "I was wondering why I haven’t seen Lele today. Turns out she’s with Crazy. Ahh!"
Before Yang could finish, his ear was pinched by Nie Ying and hauled away.
"Wife, gentle, gentle!"
Alright, he has already started using that title.
Hearing his tone, she mocked, "It sounds like you really mind that Lele isn’t here, doesn’t it?"
"Not at all, absolutely not! Hand on heart! My dear wife, my love for you is as steadfast as the sun and moon, heaven and earth as my witness!"
As Yang Kai was declaring his love in various oaths, the sweet voice of Lin Panxia came from outside, "Wow, there are so many people here."
Everyone turned around to see Wu Qiyi and Lin Panxia walking in.
"Why did you guys just get here? We’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
Wei Shuxian smiled, stood up, and kicked Liao Yong, who quickly gathered up the playing cards on the table.
"Who is she?"
Nie Ying was a classic jealous type, and when she saw Wu Qiyi and Lin Panxia, an instinctive sense of crisis welled up inside her.
"Hey, hey, wife, take it easy, I have even less to do with them."
"Sister Ying, you can relax, these two don’t even give Little Kai a glance normally," chimed in Jin Qi, who didn’t usually like to talk, delivering a sharp comment at that moment.
Wu Qiyi and Lin Panxia couldn’t see Nie Ying, and seeing Yang Kai wailing without any dignity over there, Lin Panxia blinked her bright big eyes and asked you, "Brother Mu Yun, who is Yang Kai talking to?"
"Oh, that’s the owner of this house. Her name is Nie Ying, and I’ll introduce you to her in a bit," you replied.
Then, you addressed everyone around, "Alright, everyone, let’s put what we’re working on aside for now, and have a meeting."
Soon, a group was seated on the sofas in the living room, with the things on the central coffee table already cleared away, leaving only a few talisman papers and some empty eye potion bottles.
"So, I have some good news to share with everyone," you said with a smile, standing by the coffee table, "Last night, we took on our very first job since the foundation of our Detective Agency, and thanks to the efforts of me and Madman, we completed the task and received a reward of one hundred thousand yuan."
"Wow, that’s a windfall!" Yang Kai immediately stood up, only to be glared at by Nie Ying, who was floating in midair, and he sheepishly sat back down.
Wei Shuxian adjusted his glasses and said, "According to the information I got from Madman, for such a dangerous job, even if the medical expenses are borne by the client, a reward of one hundred thousand yuan is still a bit low."
You smiled and replied, "When we set up our Detective Agency, we all agreed that it’s built on our common interests and aspirations. The purpose is to get us in touch with society faster, to understand society, and to touch upon things that ordinary people may never encounter in their lifetimes, thereby enriching our lives. So, our Detective Agency is semi-profit in nature."
"What does semi-profit mean?" asked Liao Yong, with his usual simplicity.
"Semi-profit means, to put it plainly, or even with a bit of a rogue’s air, to rob the rich to aid the poor. If you want a more cultured description, it’s using our limited resources and manpower to help those in need. As for those rich tycoons, well, if we take on their jobs, hmph, don’t be polite, let’s fleece them good!"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement, "I agree with this point."
"But, but we’re just ordinary people without your abilities, what can we do?" Tao Wenwen’s voice was as small as a mosquito’s as she spoke.
"That’s the core of what we’re discussing today." Just as Tao Wenwen asked this, you took out a bottle of potion from your pocket, handed it to Wu Qiyi, and told her, "Just one drop will do."
Wu Qiyi undoubtedly trusted you and took the potion, dropping it into her deep pupils.
When she opened her eyes again, she was tilting her head back and the first thing she saw was Nie Ying floating in the air.
There was a moment of surprise, but as the head of Luanfeng Pavilion, Wu Qiyi wasn’t alarmed by Nie Ying’s sudden appearance and gave her a slight smile.
"Wow, sister is so beautiful. If I were a man, I would do everything to marry you," Nie Ying floated down next to Wu Qiyi, smiling at her.
"Exactly, it’s not like someone, who is like a block of wood, so uninteresting, hmph!" Lin Panxia’s words caused a few sleazy guys like Yang Kai to snicker secretly on the side.
