The next day, Ye Si stayed in her room and cultivated for the whole day. It was not until the evening when Lu Chengsheng called her for something that she changed her clothes and went out.

Lu Chengsheng had made a reservation for dinner. Although Ye Si wasn’t hungry, she couldn’t waste the red wine and delicious food.

The two of them sat at the table. Ye Si picked up a piece of steak with her fork and said, “Tell me. What is it?”

Lu Chengsheng took out a card and a mask from his bag and handed them to Ye Si. “Leader, this is the entrance ticket and the mask for the auction. Keep them safe. You’ll need them tomorrow night.”

Ye Si looked at the white fluffy rabbit’s mask. It was cute, but it was not her style.

She then looked at the other demonic mask in Lu Chengsheng’s hand. She pondered for a while and thought that it suited her.

“I want that one.”

Lu Chengsheng was at a loss. Was a macho man like him supposed to put on an extremely cute little bunny mask?

Well, in that case, he would dote on his own leader.

Lu Chengsheng immediately handed the demonic mask over, smiled like an ingratiating lackey, and then began eating.

Lu Chengsheng said as he ate, “Leader, I went out to ask around today. My friends said that a big shot from the Empire Capital has come to the auction this time. Haha! How did they know that our leader is a big shot?”

The piece of giant lobster meat that Ye Si had just brought to her mouth instantly lost its good taste somewhat. Why didn’t she realize in the past that Number Nine, whom she had accepted as her follower, could be so dumb?

When he saw that Ye Si didn’t respond, Lu Chengsheng continued, “I also heard that the seller of the spiritual ginseng is Herlesburg’s renowned scholar of the mystic arts by the name of Mo Zhixuan. It’s just that this old man is over sixty years old and has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. This time, he actually brought out a treasure passed down from generation to generation and put it up for auction. Not surprisingly, it caused a great uproar in the social circle. Therefore, there must be many people who came specifically for this spiritual ginseng.”

Then, Lu Chengsheng patted his chest and said, “But don’t worry, Leader. I have plenty of money. I’ll definitely make a successful bid for it and give it to you!”

Ye Si saw a plate of barbecued meat that resembled pork brains on the table. She picked a big piece for Lu Chengsheng. “Have some more. You need to nourish your brains.”

Lu Chengsheng was overjoyed. He answered happily, “Thank you, Leader. I love pork brains the most.”

Ye Si was stunned.

That explained his level of intelligence!

At the Perpetual Journey Grand Hotel, Mu Feng was staring fixedly at his phone in his room. He was waiting for a call.

It was a life-saving phone call.

Finally, his phone rang. He quickly answered the call and said anxiously, “How’s the investigation coming along?”

After listening to his subordinate’s report, Mu Feng suddenly realized why he felt that particular person was so familiar!

However, Miss Ye only had eyes for their CEO, Mr. Xi in the past. How did she suddenly have connections with an international superstar?

Mu Feng shook his head and went to Xi Zhimo’s room. He knocked on the door respectfully.

“Come in.” The man’s voice was noble and standoffish.

After Mu Feng entered, he reported, “Mr. Xi, I’ve unearthed some information. You have actually met the person who was with Miss Ye at the hospital that day. It’s the same celebrity you met on the plane, Lu Chengsheng. As for the man named ‘Number Nine,’ there are a total of 24,121 people in the Empire Capital and Herlesburg with this name. It will take some time to investigate thoroughly.”

Xi Zhimo stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, rubbing his pale fingertips out of habit.

Soon, he issued an order. “There’s no need to investigate anymore. You may leave.”

After Mu Feng left the room with a quizzical expression, Xi Zhimo turned to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of whiskey, and drank it in one gulp.

The man’s handsome face was unusually chilly.

After a while, Xi Zhimo viciously smashed the antique wine glass in his hand to the floor. “Hmph! She’s on such intimate terms with him that she’s calling him by his nickname?”
