1656 Letting Chai Qing Know
Chai Qing wasn’t the only one who didn’t get what was going on. The others also didn’t understand why Master Chi was staring at her. What was there to see? If not for the fact that Master Chi and Chai Qing were both women, they would have suspected that Master Chi was blind and had taken a fancy to Chai Qing.
Wang Jinyang was impulsive and couldn’t help but ask, “Master Chi, are you okay? What’s wrong?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t reply to Wang Jinyang. While she was deep in thought, Chai Qing suddenly pulled the door open and fled the ward, as if something terrifying was chasing her.
Chai Qing couldn’t help but turn around as she ran. Seeing that the woman behind her didn’t catch up, she sighed with relief. At that moment, Chi Shuyan, who was standing at the door of the ward, looked at Chai Qing’s face. She saw that even more cadaveric qi had gathered on her face, completely enveloping it and making it almost impossible to see her features.
In other words, the next person to die would be Chai Qing?
Chi Shuyan was quite surprised. Speaking of which, she didn’t have a good impression of Chai Qing. At most, she was just a stranger.
If it were anyone else, she would have chased after them. Unfortunately, the other party was hostile toward her, so it would be useless even if she intervened.
Although Yang Ji and Huang Chong were fine now, the danger to the others had yet to be resolved; it wasn’t over until she pulled that thing out by the root. Although she had the skills, what she lacked was the opportunity.
The incident with Yang Ji happened at a bad time, and Chi Shuyan wasn’t around when something happened to Huang Chong. Now, it was Chai Qing’s turn. If it were anyone else, Chi Shuyan could have brought them back to her villa. As long as that thing dared to make a move, she would be able to ferret it out. However, the person was Chai Qing.
No matter how good Chi Shuyan’s temper was, she wouldn’t persist if the other party rejected her goodwill. She was also certain that the other party wouldn’t believe her, let alone cooperate with her.
Not to mention, the other party had a very good relationship with Yuan Yuan.
As long as this matter wasn’t resolved, however, Chi Shuyan wouldn’t be at ease, to say nothing of Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong and the others.
The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the deeper her frown became. Yang Ji couldn’t help but probe, “Master Chi, what’s wrong? What are you thinking? Is there anything we can help with? Why don’t you tell us?”
Huang Chong and Wang Jinyang hurriedly nodded and were about to chime in, when they heard Master Chi casually say, “Chai Qing is next!”
Chi Shuyan’s tone was too calm, so it took everyone a few seconds to realize what she meant. Their faces changed drastically in shock and horror.
The timid ones couldn’t help but tremble.
The only thing that made everyone relax a little was that the person who had gotten into trouble this time wasn’t one of them, but Chai Qing. Of course, don’t blame them for being selfish; everyone had their own selfish motives, and would subconsciously be biased toward those close to them. Everyone else was definitely the same.
Everyone sighed with relief and took deep breaths. For a moment, no one could calm down. No wonder Master Chi had been staring at Chai Qing just now.
Just as everyone was feeling flustered, Chi Shuyan dropped another bombshell. “If I’m not wrong, something might happen to Miss Chai tonight at the latest.”
Sure enough, everyone’s faces changed drastically again. Yang Ji and Jiang Mingguang’s hands couldn’t help but shake, and their faces were incomparably unsightly and listless.
Li Xiaoyan, Wang Jinyang and Yi Junzhong’s faces were even paler, and their hearts softened a little. Without waiting for the others to speak, Li Xiaoyan hurriedly looked at Chi Shuyan and asked anxiously, “Master Chi, then… what about Chai Qing? She’s already gone. Should I call her and tell her?”
Although the others had been very annoyed with Chai Qing just now, this was a life-and-death matter, so they couldn’t be negligent. Everyone reacted in the same way as Li Xiaoyan, and wanted to let Chai Qing know.
Chi Shuyan didn’t want to care. In other words, what did Chai Qing’s life or death have to do with her?
But looking at everyone’s pleading eyes, Chi Shuyan instantly nodded and said, “Okay, you can let her know if you want!”
Whether or not that woman believed them was another matter! Chi Shuyan didn’t say the thought out loud. Even if Chai Qing really was smart enough to trust and cooperate with Chi Shuyan, the issue might not be able to be resolved in one go anyway – Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered to waste time doing a poor job of things.
Seeing how understanding Master Chi was, Yang Ji and the others were excited and grateful, and hurriedly thanked her.
They decided to have Li Xiaoyan call Chai Qing right away. Li Xiaoyan was very efficient and hurriedly took out her phone to call Chai Qing.
Chai Qing also picked up quickly, and her tone was as impatient as ever. “What’s the matter, Xiaoyan? I have something urgent to attend to. You better keep it short. I really don’t have time!”
Li Xiaoyan choked at Chai Qing’s tone. She wasn’t in a hurry to argue. In the end, she really didn’t want to see another familiar face die. Li Xiaoyan hurriedly said, “Sister Chai, where are you now? Is it far from the hospital? Can you come back first? I have something urgent to tell you. It’s very important! Really!”
No matter how anxious Li Xiaoyan was, she couldn’t persuade Chai Qing. In the end, Li Xiaoyan couldn’t take it anymore, and incoherently and anxiously relayed the truth. “Sister Chai, you’re next, it’s your turn next! Sister Chai, if you don’t want to die, hurry and come back to the hospital!”
