Even hybrid monsters have their day

He glanced at his own social circle; if the mysterious killer truly used this as a selection criterion, then it wouldn't be surprising if he was chosen. But…

He looked at the woman in front of him, who had a touch of innocence in her eyes, wondering why she was telling him all this. Was it really just out of kindness, or did she want something from him? He slowly moved closer to her, as if trying to see something in her eyes.

Suddenly, the door to the private room opened, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway.

"I hope I haven't disturbed Young Master He's enjoyment." His deep, magnetic voice was like a fine musical instrument, producing melodious music. He said this, but there was no hint of apology in his voice. Moreover, this voice seemed somewhat familiar.

Geng Miaowan turned her head and saw Qiu Pi standing at the door wearing a beige casual suit. He was indeed a natural clothes hanger; the casual suit accentuated his good figure and made him look extremely elegant.

When Qiu Pi saw Geng Miaowan, he was clearly taken aback.

He knew He Chaobai's character, so he had even prepared himself to see him in the middle of something before he came in. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the private room, he saw He Chaobai leaning intimately against a scantily clad barmaid in the dimly lit room.

Okay, forgive him for thinking the wrong thing, because from his perspective, He Chaobai and Geng Miaowan were indeed leaning intimately together.

He never expected that the girl selling wine would be Geng Miaowan. She had even refused his invitation earlier, saying she had something to do, which was why he chose to come to find He Chaobai today. But he never expected to run into her here.

Could this be what she meant by "something"?

Seeing her so intimately close to another man in her thin clothing, Qiu Pi felt a surge of anger. His gaze darkened, as if brewing a blizzard.

However, thinking of what she had asked He Chaobai to discuss today, she held back and secretly gave Geng Miaowan a warning look.

Upon seeing that it was Qiu Pi, He Chaobai adjusted his mindset and said cheerfully, "Young Master Qiu, you're as punctual as ever."

"Punctuality has always been my principle." Qiu Pi walked straight over, passing between him and Geng Miaowan, and sat down on another sofa. Although he spoke to He Chaobai, his eyes never left Geng Miaowan. "President He, you're always in such a good mood."

"Haha... Great! I like punctual people." He Chaobai laughed heartily.

Although their conversation sounded harmonious, Geng Miaowan could still sense the underlying tension. Her keen intuition told her she couldn't stay any longer, and the two of them clearly had something to say to each other.

Most importantly, Qiu Pi's gaze seemed to devour her whole, so she felt it was best to retreat first.

Thinking of this, Geng Miaowan picked up the business card on the table again and stuffed it into He Chaobai's hand, saying, "Since Young Master He has something to attend to, I'll head out now. Please be sure to contact me again!"

After saying that, she left the private room without looking back.

"I'll be right out." After Geng Miaowan's figure disappeared outside the private room, Qiu Pi also got up and left. He Chaobai watched the two of them leave the private room one after the other, his eyes full of amusement.

Qiu Pi shouted at the graceful figure walking ahead, "Geng Miaowan, you stop right there!"

However, Geng Miaowan seemed not to hear him and quickened her pace. He caught up with her in a few quick steps, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and said, "I told you to stop!"

His words already revealed a degree of restraint; if there weren't so many people around, he wouldn't mind reminding her in another way.

Geng Miaowan turned to look at Qiu Pi and chuckled dryly twice, "Hey, Young Master Qiu, what a coincidence."

He looked at her. A fake smile played on her lips, yet it wasn't unpleasant. It was a very ordinary and even tacky barmaid outfit, but on her, it possessed a unique charm that made him somewhat unable to resist looking at her. Not only him, but several men around them were also casting admiring glances at her.

That fair and slender waist looks... damn pleasing to the eye!

Qiu Pi took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "What are you trying to do dressed like this?" he demanded angrily. "That He Chaobai is a notorious playboy, you..."

Although she felt she didn't need to explain anything to him, she spoke up because he had kindly draped his coat over her shoulders. "I'm on important business."

"Off-the-job?" He gave her a cold, full-body scan, clearly dissatisfied with her answer. "Do you need to dress like this for on-the-job?"

Geng Miaowan shrugged. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"..." He was furious, but then he remembered that He Chaobai was still waiting for him in the private room and he didn't have time to argue with her, so he reached out and pinched her chin, and said, "Come to the bar first thing tomorrow morning."

She was taken aback and was about to refuse when he added, "If you don't come, I'll come to you."

Her tone was full of threats; if she hadn't needed to see He Chaobai for something, he definitely wouldn't have let her off the hook tonight.

"This kid is getting more and more of an eyesore." Luan Hao's calm voice rang out. Geng Miaowan expressed her deep agreement, but Luan Hao replied, "Who told you to provoke him?"

She cried out that she was innocent, saying that she had no intention of provoking them; it was just a coincidence that she ran into them...

After Qiu Pi left, Peng Yuxian, Xu Ruwen, and Feng Xiaotian walked over from the side.

Peng Yuxian: Are you alright?

Xu Ruwen: "Is he Qiu Pi?"

Feng Xiaotian: "He seems to be serious about you."

The group simultaneously turned their gazes to Feng Xiaotian, who had spoken last. Their expressions varied, but they all shared one thing in common: their disagreement with his statement.

Because she was interrupted by Qiu Pi, Geng Miaowan didn't know whether He Chaobai believed her or not. She had already said all she could, so all she could do now was wait at home for his reply.

However, she decided that if he didn't contact her within three days, she would find another way to get closer to him.

The next morning, she went to the bar as Qiu Pi had suggested. Although she didn't really want to go, she knew that Qiu Pi was a man of his word. If she waited for him to come looking for her, things probably wouldn't end so well.

Of course, she didn't intend to go alone; she took Xu Ruwen with her. Although Xu Ruwen was extremely unwilling, he eventually obediently entered her sea of ​​consciousness.

The reason she didn't bring Xiaobai was because the old dog said Qiu Pi's skill level was too high, and it was no match for him. Geng Miaowan was utterly speechless at this.

Normally the bar would have closed by now, but surprisingly there were still people there today.

Zhu Hai stood at the bar entrance. As soon as he saw Geng Miaowan approaching, he quickly opened the small door next to the main entrance and welcomed her inside. (To be continued.)
