Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"I understand. I just saw your father drinking alone at the banquet. He was very angry. I'm afraid you have to go back and calm him down. Longmen has already taken action. Xingxiong and some Rhodes Island operators are working hard to search for the whereabouts of your sister and her family. I believe there will be news soon."

Chen sent a message to Longmen, and his subordinates on the other end said, "Zhongchajin (still investigating)." Chen said a few words of encouragement and cut off the communication.

"I just asked them. They still need some time. They have basically determined the appearance of the kidnapper. They are preparing to check the surveillance cameras and patrol drones in various places. They will probably have the results tomorrow morning."

The darkness before dawn is always especially long, and tonight is that especially long period of time.

"Mr. Chen, thank you very much, I have to go back and calm the old bastard down. Please take care of Dr. Kal'tsit first. That's it for now, I'm leaving."

Just as Feng Qingyu was about to leave, Surtel suddenly grabbed her wet hem. She then remembered that she was wet all over and it would be difficult to explain if she went back like this.

"I'll help you dry your clothes. It's very fast. It only takes a few seconds."

Surtur's Originium skill is to control fire. Fire can not only be used in battle, but also in all aspects of life, such as cooking in the wild, heating, and now drying clothes.

"Thank you...you are all yyds."

A minute later, the wet clothes became dry again. Feng Qingyu used the floor-length mirror in the room to tidy up her clothes and hairstyle. A comb and a hairband were also prepared and were on the shelf nearby, so she could use them directly.

There are still about three hours left before the banquet ends, so we must be fully alert.

Feng Qingyu returned to the venue silently. It was more lively here than when she left. There were some guests who she had not seen just now. There were already many people dancing on the dance floor. The accompanist and violinist who played the piano also started working, presenting high-quality music for the guests.

"Aha……"

Before the party was over, I was already exhausted.

After all the hassles, she was hungry, so she didn't need to think about anything else and went straight to the food area to get a plate to eat. Unfortunately, there was no fish and chips, and the new grilled steak was not served, so she could only make do with some dessert.

The pastry tasted good, the only drawback was that it was too sweet and had too much cream.

"If I could have a 2-course hotpot... that would be really great."

Feng Qingyu stuffed a Western dessert into his mouth while thinking about Longmen's hot pot. There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot meal. If one meal doesn't work, then two meals will do.

These words were heard by Shi Huaiya who was standing next to him, and she was drinking some wine from across two aisles.

"You are here."

Shi Huaiya was surprised and delighted. Ever since she came to the banquet venue, she had never stopped looking for Feng Qingyu. Now that she had finally found him, her trip tonight was not in vain.

"Do you want to eat Yuanyang hotpot now?"

Feng Qingyu said "hmm" while stuffing some snacks into her mouth, although she didn't look behind her to see who it was.

"Of course I want to eat. Nothing here is my cup of tea. After all, I am a native of Dayan. Of course I have to eat what we Dayan people like."

Although she is far away from home, Feng Qingyu misses the hotpot in her hometown every moment. For her, she can skip meals but not hotpot.

"Then let's go. I'll take you to eat authentic shabu-shabu. You don't have to go to Longmen, there's one in Victoria, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the taste."

Feng Qingyu looked back and found Missy standing behind him in a gorgeous red evening gown with black high heels. The length of the skirt just covered her knees, revealing a part of her legs. The upper body was a tube top design, leaving her collarbone and shoulders uncovered by the fabric, showing her sexiness.

Unlike Kal'tsit's cool black dress, Shi Huaiya's dress gave people a passionate and unrestrained feeling. Not wearing a leather jacket and skirt tonight made her look more like a young lady.

"Missy...good evening, your dress is so beautiful."

Feng Qingyu didn't want to admit that he was stunned for a moment. Missy in a dress was obviously more attractive than the Missy in the Longmen Inspector version.

"You're not bad either, Miss Feng Qingyu. I just heard that you wanted to eat a shabu-shabu hotpot. I want to eat it too. Do you need a companion? Victoria's beef tastes great for hotpot. Do you want to join us?"

Shi Huaiya's appearance made Feng Qingyu feel more at ease. If it was Missy's invitation, she would have to accept it.

"My pleasure, Missy."

Feng Qingyu kissed the back of Shi Huaiya's hand gently, feeling extremely excited.

Isn't it worth being happy to meet someone she knows and not have to stay here in boredom? Feng Tiancheng, that old bastard, shouldn't stop her and Missy from going out. He might even be very happy, so happy that he wants to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate immediately.

When Shi Huaiya and Feng Qingyu stood in front of Feng Tiancheng at the same time, the latter was so scared that he almost spilled the wine in his hand. After all, the daughter of Shi Huaiya's family is much more valuable than the earl's daughter, and ten earl's daughters are not as good as her.

Is this a miracle from heaven?

"Xiao Yu...you and Miss Beatrix...are you...talking so soon?"

He was so excited that he stuttered a little.

"What do you mean by chatting? Missy and I have known each other for a long time and we are very good friends." Feng Qingyu rolled his eyes at his father.

"Is that so?" Feng Tiancheng looked at Shi Huaiya, wanting to verify it.

"That's right, Mr. Feng. Qingyu and I have known each other for several years. We have a very good relationship. I live alone and my house is quite big. When I get tired of playing, I just go to bed. Now I want to invite Qingyu to come over. Is that okay?"

"Sure, sure. Xiaoyu, go quickly and don't come back tonight."

This time it was the old bastard who gave personal permission. Feng Qingyu gave Shi Huaiya a grateful look and left the venue with her.

The air outside the venue was fresher than ever before.

31 Temporary Relief

"The air... is very fresh. I have never felt so comfortable staying outdoors. I am really not suitable for elegant places like banquets. I belong to the market."

Feng Qingyu stood under the starry sky and stretched her body to her heart's content. The banquet hall in the distance was left behind. The nobles' clinking glasses and elegant conversations had nothing to do with her anymore.

The first thing she did was to loosen her bow tie and button it up too tightly, restricting her entire neck and affecting her breathing.

"It's comfortable, it's comfortable, I don't want to stay in there."

"I understand your point of view."

Shi Huaiya walked to Feng Qingyu and stretched her waist like her, with large movements, not like a young lady at all.

"In this kind of situation, everyone's eyes are on you. You're afraid that if you do something wrong or say something wrong, you'll become the subject of gossip or even a laughing stock. I once became the target of my classmates' complaints after class because I dropped some crumbs when eating snacks or chewed a little too hard. It was really ridiculous! Who likes to be restricted?"

When talking about the past, Shi Huaiya stomped her feet in anger, which was actually a bit cute.

"Let's go, get out of here, and get what we want. And I'll tell you about my plan - a plan that will help you out."

Then, Shi Huaiya took the car keys from the driver, sat in the driver's seat, and asked Feng Qingyu to sit in the passenger seat. The driver received the taxi fare and tip, and took care of the return journey by himself, without worrying.

What the two talked about was not suitable for a third party to hear. Before getting in the car, Feng Qingyu used the monitoring equipment brought by Shi Huaiya to scan the car inside and out, but did not find any eavesdropping devices or anything similar to eavesdropping devices.

This conversation must be kept secret between them and the other two, and this must be done with extreme caution.

"Missy, the car is safe, there are no suspicious signal fluctuations, and we can talk freely."

Feng Qingyu returned the testing equipment, but Shi Huaiya did not take it back.

"I think you still need it now. Maybe your room has been installed with countless bugs, and you haven't found their locations yet. This kind of thing is scary. I check my room with this thing every night before going to bed. It has become a habit, although the servants privately say that I am neurotic."

"Well...thank you, Missy, I'll pay you back when the time comes. Next, tell me about your plan. I'm really eager to get out of this situation and return to normal life. Being trapped in a mansion is not what I want."

Shi Huaiya started the car and drove away from Harrison Manor on the outskirts of Toronto County.

The manor is located on a mountain, but the mountain is not steep, but gently undulating. When the car leaves the ring road and looks back, you can see the manor on a high place, which looks like a castle deep in the dense forest in a fairy tale.

It is indeed very beautiful and luxurious. It is very comfortable to live in such a big house, with countless servants serving at any time. There are people who like it, and there are always people who don't like it. Feng Qingyu is the latter.

The night breeze outside the car window dispelled some of her tiredness. With a trustworthy partner by her side, she felt extremely relaxed.

Shi Huaiya drove at a slow speed and discussed her plan with Feng Qingyu. It sounded incredible, but it was worth a try. Other than that, other roads were just escapes and could not be solved once and for all.

"I think you can take back the inheritance and property. Feng Tiancheng is not as scary as you think, but he is just a spent force. You dare not fight him because he has captured your sister's family and seized your weak spot."

Seizing inheritance rights and family property was indeed an extraordinary idea, but Feng Qingyu had never thought about it.

"Missy, what are my chances of winning? I have no power or influence now, and I don't have any shares in the company. Feng Tiancheng is the head of the family and holds great power. What can I use to compete with him?"

Seizing power is nothing but a fantasy, Feng Qingyu thought.

Shi Huaiya looked serious and had no intention of joking. Feng Qingyu resisted the urge to interrupt her and lowered his head to light the Victoria cigarette that Shi Huaiya had given him.

Although Feng Qingyu refuted, Shi Huaiya didn't mind too much, and her expression was still confident. She definitely knew more about this aspect than Feng Qingyu.

"If you don't have any shares, then find a way to buy back the shares held by the shareholders. As far as I know, Feng Tiancheng's behavior has displeased many shareholders. Recently, his company's stock price has plummeted, and many shareholders are trying every means to sell their shares in order to minimize their losses. Therefore, as long as you buy the majority of shares at a low price, it will be easy to drive Feng Tiancheng out of the company."

After her analysis, the complicated matter immediately became much simpler, and she immediately praised Shi Huaiya to express her admiration.

"Missy, your business skills are so proficient that people envy you. A lady from a business family is truly extraordinary. Common people like me can only bow down to you and worship you."

"Basic operations. If you grew up in an environment like me, you might be more proficient than me. I think it's not a good thing to be proficient in these things. It's better not to understand them."

Half an hour later, the car just drove out of the outskirts of Toronto County and entered the urban driveway. Their destination was one of Shi Huaiya's private houses. Usually no one lived in the house. Only Shi Huaiya would stay there for a few days in Victoria, but someone cleaned it every day.

The house is equipped with several chefs, one of whom can cook Longmen-style dishes, including hot pot.

"Oh, by the way, your people from Rhodes Island are also housed in that villa. It's in a hidden location, and you can meet her later. As for Chen... I don't really want to see her, but for you I can only endure this discomfort."

When Shi Huaiya thought about spending the night under the same roof with Chen tonight, she felt her scalp tingling and her whole body uncomfortable. Even if Chen didn't beat her or scold her, that look was enough.

Who likes to be stared at every day?

"Thank you for your hard work. I don't think Ms. Chen is hostile to you. Most of my colleagues in the Guards Bureau have said that they have been stared at by her like that. You are not the first, nor the last."

Maybe it's time to suggest Chen Sir to smile more, otherwise everyone will think she is an unkind female devil. It's really not a good feeling to be looked at with scary eyes every day.

Feng Qingyu briefly comforted Shi Huaiya.

When they arrived at the villa, they saw a van carrying vegetables in the garage. Chen and the others came back earlier than expected, and the maid said that the two groups came back only a dozen minutes apart.

The reason they didn't collide was that the two cars took different routes and came back from two different directions.

Feng Qingyu's heart was a little agitated. The afterglow of what happened in the guest room bathtub had not yet dissipated, and seeing Kai's father gave him a strange feeling.

"I don't know what happened to Dr. Kal'tsit... I hope she doesn't remember anything. After all, those scenes are too embarrassing."

She muttered quietly, but the sound did not reach Shi Huaiya's ears. The middle part of her tail where she was bitten was aching slightly.

Thirty-two social deaths

Kal'tsit sat in the middle of the sofa in the living room, changed into the nightgown prepared by the maid in the villa, and held a mug filled with ice cubes and water.

The residual heat in her body had not yet completely dissipated, and she could barely maintain a little bit of consciousness. Five minutes ago, she found herself being taken to a villa, her mouth was dry, and her clothes were gone.

She thought calmly for half a minute and was able to barely recall some details.

After drinking a glass of problematic Hennessy, he became strange because of the medicine in it, and then hid in a guest room with Operator Kuroba and soaked in the pool.

My memory of what happened after that is very vague, and it takes some time to remember everything.

There was a faint smell of blood in his mouth, but there were no signs of injury or wounds on his body. The blood also tasted a bit strange, as if it came from someone else.

"emmm..."

It's outrageous that there are things that she, who is omniscient and omnipotent, doesn't know.

Kal'tsit didn't say anything, and the other operators didn't come to talk to her either, staying in other rooms. She drank four or five glasses of ice water before her body temperature dropped a little.

If she drank any more, her stomach would hurt, so she forced herself to put the cup down and not think about drinking another one.

"I'll ask Hei Yu about this later."

Feng Qingyu was the only person with him at the time, so there was no one else he could ask except her. If he bit an operator while unconscious, he would need to compensate for his inappropriate behavior.

She shouldn't make such a low-level mistake and damage her years of experience.

Feng Qingyu thought Kal'tsit should have been exhausted and fallen asleep a long time ago. When he saw her in the living room, his heart skipped a beat. He stumbled and fell.

If you miscalculate, what will happen next will definitely be embarrassing.

"Kuroba...are you okay?"

Kal'tsit's voice sounded weak, limp, and maybe a little seductive?

"I'm fine. It's my fault for not looking at the road."

Feng Qingyu got up, dusted himself off, and suddenly didn't know what to say. No matter how he talked, it was awkward. When he saw Kal'tsit's face, he remembered what happened less than two hours ago, and strange emotions surged in his heart.

Neither resistance nor disgust.

"Can you tell me the details of last night? I don't remember what happened afterwards. My memory is that we went to the guest room to take a bath together. I am still a little excited and my body is hot. I am afraid I will have trouble sleeping tonight."

Not only was she having trouble falling asleep, she couldn't even carry out normal activities. For example, when she walked, her body was so crooked that she almost fell down several times.

This won't work.

"Well...Doctor Kal'tsit, do you really want to know? I think it's better not to make some things too clear. You may not want to know that much."

One of the highest administrators of Rhodes Island bit a junior operator. It sounds funny, but it really happened. The operator's tail is still aching and he is restless.

"Please tell me every detail in detail... I actually have the habit of keeping a diary and recording what happened."

Kal'tsit brought it up seriously, and Feng Qingyu wanted to complain to her on the spot, "There's no need to write such things in your diary," but she held back.
