Twenty minutes later, Lu Chao arrived at the hotel and footed the bill for his poor boss. The few people who were closer to Xiang Huai knew that the boss was indeed very poor, so they had already formed the habit of shelling out their own money for him.

  There was no choice. Their salaries were all given by their boss.

  If he did not develop this habit, his boss could find an excuse to deduct money. For example, because he was eating at work or going to the toilet during work……

  Boss’s reasons for deducting money were all strange and impossible to guard against!

  After obediently paying, Lu Chao entered the private room.

  Xue Xi was stunned when she saw him. It had been too long since they last met, and Canine Teeth was still the same. He smiled when they met and his canine teeth looked very cute. “Sister Xi, long time no see. You’re as beautiful as ever!”


  Xue Xi hesitated and slowly said, “.……You’re the same as before.”


  Lu Chao: “.……”


  Xiang Huai, who was sitting opposite Xue Xi, smiled when he saw this. He held his chin with both hands and asked, “What about me?”


  Xue Xi looked at him. What could change when they met every day?

  She simply ignored him and asked Lu Chao, “Who put the medicine?”


  Lu Chao said, “Someone from your Math Department who is working on a project with you, but that person is also in a daze. He seems to be controlled by someone. After we captured him, he refused to admit anything. It seems like he forgot that he’d drugged the water dispenser.”


  Lu Chao said, “I sent him to the special department already. Jing Fei checked and discovered that he’d been hypnotized.”


  Hypnotized?

  Just as Xue Xi was feeling confused, she heard Xiang Huai say, “This is a special power. Someone who knows hypnosis and can control others.”


  Hypnosis……

  For some unknown reason, Xue Xi first thought of Ji Silin.

  She was no longer as naive and stupid as before. The more she interacted with him, the more she realized that there was a problem. Ji Silin was the deputy leader of the Moguls’ Group. Usually, when Omnipotent Boss was not in the group, the members of the group would basically look for Ji Silin if there were any problems.

  She knew that Feng Xingshen, Cen Bai, and Omnipotent Boss were all espers, so Brother Silin must be one too.

  Xue Xi was certain that Brother Silin had never harmed her since she was young. At least, not yet.

  However, perhaps she was thinking too much. A psychiatrist might not be an esper. Moreover, Brother Silin was not the only one who knew hypnosis.

  She looked at Lu Chao. “Where is he?”


  There were some questions that she still had to interrogate him with. It would probably be even more difficult to rely on Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi to solve the case.

  Lu Chao: “The special department.”


  Xue Xi stood up. “Alright, let’s go to the special department.”


  Lu Chao drove and brought Xue Xi and Xiang Huai to the special department. Just as they stopped the car and walked into the special department, Xue Xi suddenly saw a familiar face—Fu Chun!

  Wasn’t this Recluse, Fu Yuanxiu’s father?

  Back in Bin City, it was Recluse who had spoken up for her mother, Night Li. Otherwise, Ye Li would have continued to be suppressed and would not have achieved her current status in the art world.

  Hence, Xue Xi was very respectful to this senior. She immediately walked over and specially greeted, “Uncle Fu.”


  The old Fu Chun stopped when he heard this. He seemed to be anxious, but when he saw Xue Xi, he smiled. “Sister Xi, you’re here!”


  Xue Xi nodded and asked, “Why are you here?”


  Fu Chun nodded. “Mhm. I have something on. Let’s chat another day!”


  Seeing that he did not seem willing to speak, Xue Xi could only nod.

  Fu Chun carefully shot Xiang Huai another glance before entering the special department.

  He staggered and held his walking stick. Xue Xi could not help but wonder what Fu Chun was doing here. For someone like him, who was a big shot in the national art world, it would have been fine if he had something on. However, his attitude today was a little humble.

  However, since Fu Chun did not say anything, Xue Xi did not think much of it and followed Canine Teeth and Xiang Huai to Jing Fei’s side……

  Fu Chun took a turn in the special department and went to Fang Yi’s place.

  At this moment, Zheng Zhi was apologizing to Fang Yi. “Sister Yi, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.”


  Fang Yi was pretending to be aggrieved. “Zhi, I really did my best, but they couldn’t speak. I don’t know why, but now that the truth is out, I’m finally cleared. I would really have been very sad if you continued to misunderstand me.”


  She lowered her head and her eyes turned red.

  Zheng Zhi immediately took a step forward and held her shoulders. “Sister Yi, I’m sorry. I won’t suspect you again!”


  Fang Yi nodded.

  A glint flashed across her eyes.

  Actually, when she saw the three of them yesterday, she had sensed that they were pretending, but she did not say it. She was thinking that Xue Xi’s friend was surely going to be detained.

  When they really had no choice, Xiang Huai would definitely make a move. At that time, he would definitely beg her and she would tell the truth.

  However, she did not expect Xue Xi to realize the truth before Xiang Huai could come!

  That girl’s superpower was very weak, but she did not expect her to have a high IQ.

  But forget it. It would be a pleasant surprise if Zheng Zhi did not suspect her from now on!

  After Zheng Zhi left, she calculated the time and felt that Fu Chun would arrive soon. Hence, she took two steps out and happened to see Fu Chun talking to Xue Xi.

  Fang Yi’s eyes flickered.

  Lin Jing’s birthday was coming soon. She had originally intended to get Fu Chun’s painting as a gift, but those two seemed to be very familiar and intimate.

  A sharp glint flashed across her eyes. Instead of walking forward to welcome Fu Chun, she returned to the office.

  Fu Chun did not bring anyone with him. When he arrived at Fang Yi’s office, he knocked on the door and paused when he heard the sound of “Please come in.”


  All these years, he had never been greeted so slowly.

  It was fine that she did not go out to welcome him, but now that he was here, she actually still had this cold attitude.

  As a national artist, he would be sought after no matter where he went. Fu Chun did not care about his prestige, but just for being an elder, he should not be treated like this by a junior, right?

  However, he only paused for a moment before pushing open the door and walking in.

  There was no choice.

  For the sake of curing his son’s illness, sometimes, face was nothing.

  After he entered, he saw the young Fang Yi sitting on the office chair. She had no intention of standing up to welcome him. An awkward look flashed across his eyes, but he still took a step forward. “Doctor Fang, I came here to meet you because of the problem with the list order……”


  Only then did Fang Yi look up. As though she had just recognized Fu Chun, she instantly stood up. “So it’s Master Recluse! Welcome!”


  Fu Chun heaved a sigh of relief and felt that he had been thinking too much.

  After he sat down on the sofa, Fang Yi sat opposite him. She checked and said, “So your son has lung cancer, but wasn’t he already put on the list a year ago?”


  Fu Chun sighed. “Yes. When I found out about his illness a year ago, I came to queue up, but with our number, we will have to wait for five years. However, his condition has worsened this year, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to wait anymore. That’s why I came here to ask if we can cut the queue.”


  Fu Chun’s tone was humble and pleading. “Of course, you can make any conditions.”


  There was no choice.

  Cancer was incurable.

  Among all the espers in the world, only Fang Yi knew how to heal it. This was her capital in the special department and also her important ticket to have become a P10!

  Fu Yuanxiu could not hold on for four years, and he was already in the late stages.

  Fu Chun had no choice but to beg Fang Yi.

  He had found many people to speak to Fang Yi and obtained her permission before coming. In Fu Chun’s opinion, if he could not cut the queue, Fang Yi would reject meeting him. Since she had agreed to meet him, she must have some conditions to discuss.

  He was willing to give up all his assets to save his son’s life.

  Unexpectedly, Fang Yi sighed. “I understand your situation. I’m also very sad about this, but rules are rules. I can’t make an exception.”
