Chapter 458: Hiding the Wind and Carrying Water
In the tense situation, Huang Banxian leaned back calmly, with a confident look on his face.
He shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Manager Ji, you are too sensitive."
"The first sentence." Ji Li was checking the countdown, waiting for Huang Banxian to give him a satisfactory answer.
"Huang Fengjiao? Mr. God-fairy, I wonder why you have never revealed your name to the public. Your name is too unique?"
Clay was obviously very talkative. At this critical moment, his attention was all on Huang Banxian's real name.
Yu Guo covered his mouth and laughed secretly, while Ji Li counted down coldly: "The second sentence."
Huang Banxian glanced at Clay, then coughed lightly and said the last sentence:
"My employer is a 59-year-old man, and his surname is also Hei!"
When Huang Banxian said this, he was extremely confident. His slightly leaning back meant that he believed Ji Li would not shoot after hearing this.
And obviously his goal had been achieved. Ji Li did slowly retract the muzzle of the gun after hearing that rare surname.
After a moment of silence, he finally sat down on the chair and glanced at Yu Guo, who looked innocent.
Huang Banxian quickly explained on behalf of Yu Guo:
"Mr. Yu didn't say anything, but I found out through my visit that Mr. Hei had encountered some difficulties recently.
So he hired our Ninth Branch to help solve the problem. After investigation, I found that his daughter was also in trouble and was looking for help from people in the circle.
I asked a few friends in the circle and they said that they were all ordered to go to the vicinity of the Moon Platform and eventually disappeared completely.
And Manager Ji, you seem to have just returned from the Moon Platform..."
Ji Li narrowed his eyes slowly after hearing this logical explanation.
Huang Banxian's words were to show off that he knew the actions of the Seventh Branch very well, and at the same time, what they knew about the Ninth Branch was far more than Ji Li.
This made Ji Li understand that they had no good intentions, so he whispered:
"Your previous circle was just some unorthodox and foolish charlatans. If you hadn't entered the ninth branch, your so-called divination would be useless."
"You are right. There are only ghosts in this world, not gods." Huang Banxian nodded and agreed with Ji Li's evaluation.
Then his face became serious and he continued:
"So our trip is to seek cooperation with Manager Ji. Although the employers we have to face are different, they are connected after all.
The specific task content still needs to wait, but I believe that there will be a lot of intersections between us. It is beneficial to exchange information appropriately."
Ji Li did not express any attitude on this matter, and continued to look at him with an inexplicable look.
Huang Banxian took out a business card from his sleeve after a while, placed it on the table, and said with a smile:
"This is the gathering place of our circle. If Manager Ji needs it, he can investigate and collect evidence by himself."
After saying this, Huang Banxian pulled Clade's sleeve, and the two stood up:
"In this case, we will take our leave first, and see you in the mission."
Ji Li looked at the business card silently, turned around and asked mysteriously:
"Is Gu Xingjian really not participating in this mission?"
There was no need for Huang Banxian to hide this point, so he readily agreed.
Ji Li nodded and said softly:
"Tell me a message. Last time he gave me a gift, I will give him one this time."
Huang Banxian looked at Clay suspiciously and replied, "I will tell you the original message."
...
"This Ji Li is too rude. A branch manager who has not even reached the three-star level, who gave him the qualifications to be so domineering."
Clay asked himself that they have been polite everywhere since they arrived here, but Ji Li pressed on step by step and his attitude was very bad.
Huang Banxian took a deep breath, shook his head slowly and said:
"If you think about it the other way around, we are about to reach the level of a four-star hotel.
A branch of such a low level can cooperate with us to guide, which already shows something."
"Is there something unique about the seventh branch?"
"Manager Gu once told me that the seventh branch is very ordinary, but it is special because of Ji Li.
This manager Ji and Li Yi of the first branch are suspected to come from the same place, so we can't mess with them."
When Huang Banxian said this, he sighed that the fate of people is so different. Fortunately, his target this time is Yu Guo.
Moreover, the first step has been completed...
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on that funny and vulgar face.
...
Although Ji Li knew that Huang Banxian came here for an impure purpose, he could not have thought that the other party's target was Yu Guo.
After a brief conversation with Yu Guo, he focused on the business card.
There were only a few gold-plated fonts on the pure white background, and the name was scary:
"Hidden Wind and Water - The Most Professional Feng Shui Association in Hujiang Area"
Huang Banxian left this business card, obviously asking Ji Li to investigate the purpose of Ms. Hei's hiring, so as to gain the upper hand in the mission.
It was a kind of alternative gesture of goodwill, but it also indicated that he was hiding his true purpose.
However, for the characteristics of the ninth branch store's people who like to be mysterious, Ji Li didn't know them well enough and couldn't guess it for the time being.
But the role of this business card can indeed help him a little.
...
After leaving the cafe, Ji and Yu walked side by side towards the inside of the branch.
Both of them began to talk less, because the current clues were complicated, and the most critical one was Su Qiner.
The nameless ghost came to her again and again, but disappeared the fourth time. Why?
"Ji Li, do you think that the ghost has come, but Su Qiner didn't see it..."
After thinking for a while, Yu Guo put forward his own guess, which also coincided with Ji Li's thoughts.
As time passed, the ghost approached, so if the purpose of approaching was not to kill, but to get into the body...
Will this possibility also be true?
For example, Su Qiner's body is now deposited by the ghost.
Yu Guo continued to extend this guess, so he said:
"Li Xing's matter cannot continue to happen, we have to find a way to verify it."
It is not uncommon for the ghost to enter the seventh branch. Li Xing is a warning. If the ghost really replaces the clerk, then the following tasks will be more difficult.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Li handed the "Hidden Wind and Carrying Water" business card to Yu Guo and told him his action plan:
"It's very close to the start of the mission now, and there's not much time left.
Today you go investigate this Feng Shui Association and find out what difficulties the woman surnamed Hei has encountered.
I will personally verify whether there is anything fishy about Su Qin'er."
Yu Guo took the business card without objection, and then asked blankly:
"But how are you going to verify it?"
Ji Li raised his head, looked directly at the sun, took a deep breath, and said lightly:
"I have my own means."
