Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

Chapter 238 Eavesdropping

When Dai Tong heard this, she immediately turned around and looked at the pile of pendants, and her brows furrowed when she saw it.

He scratched at the pendants with his claws. Turning to look at Liu Yuanyuan, he said, "One pendant has been activated, and the dead energy inside has been released. But fortunately, the others haven't been activated yet. The owners of the unactivated pendants should be fine. Where did you get all these pendants?"

So Liu Yuanyuan told Dai Tong the origin of these pendants and that someone had died again.

"There are still a few pendants that my second brother didn't take back because their IV drips were probably activated. That's why I hurriedly called you over. I was afraid those people would lose their lives again."

Dai Tong sighed deeply and muttered, "I thought I could take a few days off after the two cases here were concluded, but I didn't expect another problem to arise. What a hard life."

After that, a flash of yellow-blue light appeared, and Tang Ziji, wearing black boxers and a tank top, scratched his head and sat cross-legged on the platform. He sighed, jumped off the platform, picked up his clothes from the ground, and put them on. This time, he didn't seem shy. Instead, he looked at Liu Yuanyuan as he put them on while explaining, "I'm sorry, my attitude was a bit off just now. I was in a meeting just now. We were reviewing the previous case and were planning to discuss solutions. I didn't expect you to call me here so suddenly, and I'm a bit upset. I know about this matter. I'll go to your brother to investigate later."

After Tang Ziji finished speaking, he put on his clothes, picked up all the pendants on the platform and put them in the pocket of his down jacket, then turned around and was about to leave.

Liu Yuanyuan hurriedly stopped Tang Ziji: "Aren't you planning to go straight to my second brother? Do you know where my second brother is? And aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?"

Tang Ziji rubbed his face impatiently, then sighed. With a somewhat helpless expression, he pulled out his phone from his shirt and made a call. He then walked a distance away and continued talking. Liu Yuanyuan didn't follow him. Meanwhile, Lie Qing, standing nearby, perked up his ears and listened intently, relaying what he had heard to Liu Yuanyuan.

Liu Yuanyuan slapped Lie Qing in anger and amusement. But Lie Qing didn't care and continued to relay the content of Tang Ziji's call.

At this moment, Tang Ziji was handing over his work. From the conversation that Lie Qing had relayed, Liu Yuanyuan concluded that he must be working for a confidential state unit.

Tang Ziji is negotiating with them, hoping someone will come to investigate the accidental death of the artist.

Liu Yuanyuan felt that she really shouldn't listen to the following content anymore, so she immediately reached out and covered Lie Qing's ears.

But Lie Qing didn't intend to let Tang Ziji go, and always wanted to find some evidence from his conversation.

Tang Ziji hung up the phone and turned around to see Liu Yuanyuan and Lie Qing arguing. One wanted to cover her ears, and the other refused to let her.

Lie Qing was the first to notice that Tang Ziji had finished his call, so he complained unhappily, "It's all your fault. He made a phone call, and what did he say after that? I didn't hear anything clearly."

Liu Yuanyuan poked Lie Qing's head twice with her finger and said, "Listen to what you should listen to, and don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, or you'll be caught and stewed into dog meat."

Lie Qing instantly thought of the black dog meat restaurant, and his body couldn't help but tremble. His ears immediately drooped, and then he raised his eyebrows with a look of grievance and looked at Liu Yuanyuan.

Tang Ziji didn't know what happened between them, but she didn't care. She walked over to Liu Yuanyuan and said, "I'll turn back into Dai Tong later. You put my clothes and things in your schoolbag and take them with you. Then we'll go to your second brother's place together."

Liu Yuanyuan nodded. Since this matter was related to the Lu family anyway, she called Lu Mingtian again and asked him to send a pickup truck to pick her up and take her electric car with him.

Lu Mingtian's car arrived quickly, and he even came along with it. Seeing Liu Yuanyuan, he quickly said, "What are you doing in an abandoned factory like this, a little girl? It's so dangerous! Did you find anything?"

Liu Yuanyuan explained, "I thought touching this thing might bring bad luck, so I came here. But I just called a friend and he said it only works after it's activated. I don't know how to activate it, so I'll have to go to your company and ask those lucky artists how they did it."

After all, this matter still needs Lu Mingtian's intervention to be completed, so it is better to explain it clearly to him.

Ever since Lu Mingtian learned of Su Qian's death, the turmoil in his heart has never subsided.

After all, I'd never heard of anything like this before. A tiny pendant could cost someone their life. There wasn't even a clue to prove it was the pendant that was the cause.

He had just gone to the Public Security Bureau to give a statement. All the evidence proved that it was just an accident.

If no other clues are found, the case will probably be closed.

But his sister, whom he had only met twice, told him that this was not an accident, but a case manipulated by someone with mysterious power.

This case confirmed what he and she had said before, which made him have no choice but to believe Liu Yuanyuan.

Now he is even in a state where he believes whatever Liu Yuanyuan says and does whatever Liu Yuanyuan asks him to do.

Of course, Liu Yuanyuan had no idea or understanding of Lu Mingtian's current mood. She just sat in the car quietly thinking about how to help Dai Tong find clues when she went to her second brother's company.

For a moment, the car was completely silent. Lu Mingtian, however, felt somewhat oppressed, panicked, and uneasy. This silence only exacerbated his uneasiness.

So he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to like raising animals. You have both a dog and a cat. They listen to you so well and don't run around or bark."

Liu Yuanyuan smiled politely and said, "It's okay. I picked them up. They are very well behaved."

Lu Mingtian, who was sitting in the front row, turned to look at Liu Yuanyuan in surprise after hearing this and asked, "Are you saying they are stray dogs and cats, and they are so obedient after you picked them up?"

Liu Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, but Lie Qing on the side immediately bared his teeth at Lu Mingtian unhappily and let out a low growl.

Now it is unhappy because others say it is a stray dog. Obviously, it is round now and has an owner and a home.

Liu Yuanyuan reached out and touched Lieqing's head, smiling and saying, "Second brother, you'd better be careful with your words. These two of mine are very smart and can understand everything you say. Be careful that they bite you when I'm not around."
