"You're such a sly old man!"

"Given our current state, you still sent Sister Qingyi here on purpose, didn't you!"

Le Fei crawled out of bed again and looked around for clothes.

"She's working for me; if she doesn't come here to meet me, where else can I expect her to go?"

Qin Ge pulled Le Fei back and pointed her hand, "What's the rush? Qingyi is not close, and she has to evade pursuit on the way. She won't arrive that quickly."

Le Fei's eyes widened from confusion to panic. "You're coming again?!"

Qin Ge grinned mischievously, "You can't just start a fire and not put it out. You should have known this day would come when you provoked me so many times."

"What do you mean by today or tomorrow? I've only known you for less than a day!" Le Fei retorted, acting like a spoiled child.

However, it was all in vain; she couldn't escape Qin Ge's clutches.

Qin Ge vividly remembered the haunted house and movie theater scenes. His "revenge" mentality fueled his fighting spirit, and the entire suite was soon filled with seductive sounds.

......

When the doorbell rang, Le Fei slipped into the bathroom like a rabbit.

"Why are you so slow? Are you being followed?"

"You didn't bring it here, did you?"

Cai Qingyi did not respond, but walked straight towards Qin Ge with a complicated expression, as if she was sad, reluctant, and somewhat aggrieved.

Qin Ge reached out and pulled her into his arms. "What's wrong? Did someone bully our Qingyi?"

Cai Qingyi broke free from Qin Ge's embrace, biting her lip several times before finally making up her mind to speak, "Can you tell me the truth? Did you go to the amusement park today, and enter the haunted house?"

"Did you kill Sister Ling and the others?"

Before Qin Ge could speak, she quickly explained, "I didn't mean to question you, I just want to know the truth."

"Since Sister Ling and the others were following you so openly, it was only right that you killed them, but..."

"But if you really did kill him, I... I don't know how to face you..."

"Sister Qingyi, what did you say?!" Le Fei rushed out, grabbing Cai Qingyi's arm. "Sister Ling and the others are dead?"

"What exactly happened?"

Cai Qingyi was stunned for a moment. "Feifei?"

What are you doing here?

"Oh dear!" Le Fei shook Cai Qingyi's arm. "Don't worry about the details. Tell me first, are Sister Ling and the others really dead?"

"Yes." Cai Qingyi nodded sadly. "Seven people died in the haunted house at the amusement park. Their deaths were extremely gruesome..."

"The police and Shadow Warriors have intervened, and the amusement park is now closed."

She then truthfully recounted what she had found out, saying, "That's all I've learned."

Finally, she glanced at Qin Ge, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, it's said that Sister Ling and the others' hearts are all missing."

Le Fei caught Cai Qingyi's look and quickly said, "It wasn't him!"

"Qin Ge and I stayed together the whole time, and Sister Ling and the others were all fine when we left the haunted house..."

"How could this happen? Who did this? How could they be so cruel!"

Cai Qingyi gazed intently at Qin Ge, then breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and her nose felt a little sore.

Le Fei also looked at Qin Ge, and neither of them had any ideas.

Qin Ge snapped out of her reverie and asked, "Have you looked into what's inside the haunted house?"

"There's a huge coffin inside. Has it been opened, or rather, has it been opened before?"

Le Fei's hair stood on end. "You think there's something wrong with that coffin, and that the thing inside it is the killer?"

"No, it can't be that scary, can it? Don't frighten me. Are there really ghosts in the world?"

"It's not impossible, otherwise how could Sister Ling and the others' hearts have disappeared..."

"What are you thinking about all day?" Qin Ge smiled slightly. "I already sensed that there was someone in that coffin."

"It's a person, not the kind of thing you're thinking of in your little head!"

"I thought it was an NPC arranged by the haunted house, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"It was a bit strange when we left. Were the people in the coffin asleep? Otherwise, why didn't they come out after we'd been there for so long?"

"If it wasn't a staff member from the haunted house inside, then it's very likely a murder!"

Le Fei asked, "Who could be inside? Why would they want to kill Sister Ling and the others?"

"And even if he killed someone, why is the heart missing?"

"This doesn't seem like something a human would do. Is it really impossible for it to be that kind of thing?"

Qin Ge said helplessly, "You yourself said you've been with me the whole time. If you didn't know, how was I supposed to know? Do you think I'm a god?"

"I'm just guessing; with this little information, it's impossible to make an accurate judgment."

He recalled the message Han Beichen had asked Han Che to deliver: "I have a feeling that trouble might be brewing in Beidu!"

"The haunted house incident is likely just the beginning."

Han Beichen must know something, which is why he specifically sent Han Che to remind him not to come to Beidu.

What kind of person or force in Beidu is plotting against him that makes someone like Han Beichen so concerned?

"Why are you two staring at me like that? I'm not helping the Jiang family!"

"Even if I wanted to help, I couldn't. When it comes to being well-informed, who in the world can compare to the Jiang family?"

"If they can't find out what happened in the haunted house or who the murderer is, then I'm even less likely to find out."

Qin Ge looked at Cai Qingyi and changed the subject, "You've been gone for so long, what have you gained?"

Cai Qingyi glanced at Le Fei subconsciously, hesitated for a moment before speaking, "As mentioned before, Miss Jiang is now engrossed in martial arts."

"She became an apprentice of a martial arts master named Lu Hongbo, and recently signed up for a free-fighting competition."

"The Earthly Realm?" Qin Ge asked, puzzled. "If you're going to take on a master, why not choose a more respectable one?"

"What I mean is, the Jiang family must have quite a few experts, right?"

"Even if they're terrible, surely they can at least reach the Heavenly Realm?"

"Why would the eldest daughter of the prestigious Jiang family go to such lengths to become a disciple of a mere Earth Realm expert?"

"Wait, wait!" Before Cai Qingyi could speak, Le Fei interrupted, "What are you talking about?"

"Sister Qingyi, are you investigating Miss Jiang for him?!"

She stared at Qin Ge with her big eyes, "What do you want to do to Miss Jiang?"

"Let's do what we just did!" Qin Ge looked at Cai Qingyi. "Ignore her and continue."

Cai Qingyi continued, "You really overestimate the Jiang family. There are indeed Heavenly Realm experts among the Jiang family's retainers, but there isn't a single member of the Jiang family among them."

"Martial artists, especially those above the Heaven Realm, generally have their own unique skills and will not easily pass them on to outsiders."

"You're from the Shadow Martial Hall, so you naturally don't think it's a big deal, but it's really not an easy thing for Miss Jiang to find a martial artist above the Heaven Realm to become her disciple."

"However, the main reason is that the Jiang family head is not willing to let Miss Jiang practice martial arts. Miss Jiang's identity is special, and in addition, she started too late and has missed the best age for practicing martial arts. Which master would be willing to take her in?"

"I see..." Qin Ge lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked up at Le Fei, "Little Fei Fei, you should go back to the Jiang family tomorrow!"
