"Wafang, didn't you just get up for the night? Why are you still going?" Yan Furui vaguely felt someone pushing him. He thought it was the young apprentice beside him. He squinted his eyes and forced himself to sit up, only to find that Wafang was already there.

He fell into a deep sleep, and beside the dim bedside lamp, stood a strange black figure.

As if a basin of cold water was poured down from his head, Yan Furui suddenly woke up. He covered his beating heart with one hand, and protected the tile-roofed house with the other hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Who is that person?"

Pa~

The headlight above his head was turned on, and the 100-watt incandescent lamp dazzled Yan Furui for a while. He blinked several times before gradually adapting to the brightness of the room. He asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhou...?"

Zhou Ji stood in front of the bed, glanced at the sleeping tiled house, and said with a smile: "Your apprentice? Why haven't I seen him in the past few days?"

Yan Furui swallowed, and the corners of his mouth turned bitter, "The child is not sensible. He has been taking care of his neighbor for the past few days, and he was just brought back today."

Noticing Yan Furui's increasingly vigilant gaze, Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled. He knew that in the hearts of Yan Furui and others, he had become a minion of the Rong tribe and a traitor to the human race. He had no intention of explaining to Yan Furui.

Although descriptions such as 'minions' and 'hawks and dogs' are full of malicious speculation, they are far more practical and effective in dealing with certain things than 'a kind-hearted person'.

After all, the reason why you dare to reject a good person is because everyone knows that even if a good person is rejected, nothing will happen to him. The reason why you dare not reject the claws and eagles is because if you refuse, you will have to bear the consequences of angering the evil person.

"I'm bothering you late at night because I have two things I want to talk to you about." Zhou Ji raised his finger, and Yan Furui's palm protecting the tiled house went numb for an instant, and his arms were also sore and weak, as if he couldn't even lift them up.

"What do you want to do!" Yan Furui stared at Zhou Ji with splitting eyes and raised his finger again. This time, air fluctuations visible to the naked eye slowly passed by his eyes and hit Wafang's shoulder.

"I just tapped his sleeping point so that he wouldn't disturb us if he woke up in the middle of the night." Zhou Ji had a smile on his face, but his eyes made Yan Furui feel cold all over.

"The first thing." Zhou Ji took out two stacks of red tickets from his pocket and said with a smile: "We stayed in Xingyun Pavilion temporarily a few days ago, and the money is considered as our room fee."

Twenty thousand yuan for seven days, how can such a dilapidated and cramped Xingyun Pavilion be worth such an expensive room rate?

Although Yan Furui loves petty gains, he also knows that the money is definitely not that easy to get.

He broke into a private house in the middle of the night, threatened him with a small tile-roofed house, and then offered him 20,000 yuan as a inducement.

For a moment, Yan Furui's mind was racing, wondering what the other party was thinking.

'Is it possible that... Miss Shen's attempt to trap Si Teng was exposed?'

Yan Furui's expression was gloomy and uncertain, which made Zhou Ji a little confused...

'I was kicked out of the house by Si Teng in the middle of the night. I thought I couldn't sleep anyway, so I asked you to pay the room fee and asked me something... Why do you look like you are in danger?'

Zhou Ji snapped the two stacks of red banknotes together, and the crisp sound that broke the silence made Yan Furui shudder, showing an expression uglier than crying, "They all ordered this, and I

It's irrelevant, I don't know anything..."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Ji threw a wad of red banknotes to Yan Furui, shook another wad in his hand, and said impatiently: "I ask you to answer, as long as you tell the truth, this

Ta is yours too."

The ink scent of red banknotes hit his face, the feel of the banknotes and the weight of the whole stack made Yan Furui's heart skip a beat.

Zhou Ji said in a deep voice: "Have you seen Shen Yin Deng?"

'Yes, the plan must have been exposed.' Yan Furui suddenly felt that the money in his hand was extremely hot, and hurriedly threw it back to Zhou Ji, shaking his head and saying: "They kick me out for small meetings every time, I really don't know their plan?"

"Plan? What plan?" Zhou Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Thinking of President Cang Hong's visit just now, he frowned slightly, "What are Cang Hong and the others planning?"

Zhou Ji's expression of complete ignorance made Yan Furui a little dumbfounded.

Yan Furui's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely felt as if he had missed something. He couldn't help but shrink back and asked weakly: "Isn't that what you wanted to ask?"

"I just want to ask if Shen Yindeng has a mole on his face?" Zhou Ji frowned slightly and did not ask about the Xuanmen Project.

First, because he saw that Yan Furui really didn't know anything about it. If he had to hide behind such a thing, he wouldn't take Yan Furui to play with him.

The second reason was that if he asked too many questions, he might alert the enemy. At the same time, he also wanted to teach Si Teng a lesson so that he would not underestimate others and cause greater trouble in the future.

"Ah?" Yan Furui's brain shut down, and he was worried for a long time. The other party wanted to ask Shen Yindeng if he had a mole on his face?

"Yes or no?" Zhou Ji's expression was serious, not joking at all.

Only then did Yan Furui come to his senses, recalling Shen Yin Deng's appearance, and shook his head violently, "No... no..."

"Really?" Zhou Ji pointed to the side of her face and said, "It's a very small beauty mark right here."

Yan Furui was about to cry, "It's true... Miss Shen is beautiful. Not to mention moles, she doesn't even have acne."

"It seems so..." Zhou Ji threw two stacks of red tickets into Yan Furui's arms and said in a deep voice: "You must not tell anyone else that I came to see you tonight. Your little apprentice was chosen by me. If you sleep on the acupuncture point, you will be fine until tomorrow morning and it will not harm your body."

Zhou Ji said that he was about to jump out of the window, but as soon as he stepped onto the window sill, he was stopped by Yan Furui.

"Zhou...Zhou Daxia, can you please give me some..." Yan Furui smiled awkwardly and tentatively said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in the middle of the night after you made such a fuss. Can..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ji pointed at Yan Furui's sleeping point from the air, turned over from the window, and disappeared into the night in a few leaps.

...

When we returned to the courtyard, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

I thought that Si Teng should have gone to sleep, but I didn't expect that the lights in the courtyard were still on, and on the wooden window on the second floor of the west pavilion, a familiar figure was leaning against the window railing, staring blankly into the depths of the night.

Zhou Ji didn't want to disturb Si Teng's thoughts, so he just glanced at him from a distance without saying hello. Instead, he quietly returned to the East Pavilion and gently closed the window.

Perhaps because he heard the sound of the wooden window closing, Si Teng's eyes moved, and his cold gaze passed over the closed window opposite. There was no longer the anger or the entanglement in front of the mirror.

With a flick of his fingertips, a slender ivy stretched out from the second floor. The street lights that had been on in the courtyard for half a night gradually went out. Si Teng also got up and closed the window. Behind the two wooden windows facing each other, one had slept for too long. , stayed up all night.
