Chapter 168 Xu Xiumei Comes to the Door

"Why is she here?"

Old Zhong was somewhat surprised to see Xu Xiumei.

As for panic, that's completely nonexistent. We're all seasoned veterans; we have that kind of mental fortitude.

Shen Qingzhou was also a little surprised. Did she remember the hypnosis she had done yesterday?

That shouldn't be the case. Ordinary people, without experiencing extreme emotional fluctuations like great joy or sorrow, cannot break free from the prison of his memories. I have that much confidence.

"Excuse me, may I come in?" Xu Xiumei's gaze swept over the two of them.

Shen Qingzhou nodded and said, "Please come in."

Xu Xiumei then entered the house, but the two people behind her did not move.

The two people were a man and a woman. Shen Qingzhou and the others recognized the woman; she was the female lawyer from yesterday. As for the man, he was tall and strong, and he was looking at them warily. He was probably Xu Xiumei's bodyguard.

They stood outside the door, showing no intention of coming inside with us.

This is to be wary of them. Could it be that Xu Xiumei has really broken free from the "prison of memory"?

When Xu Xiumei saw the gaze that Shen Qingzhou cast at her, her expression hardened slightly, and she stopped walking in her tracks.

At this moment, Jiang Xinyue took the initiative to stand up and greet them.

"Hello, Auntie, is there anything we can help you with? Please let us know."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiumei finally turned her gaze to her, a perfunctory smile appearing on her face, and nodded slightly, saying, "Sorry to bother you."

"No disturbance, please have a seat." Jiang Xinyue quickly invited the other person to sit down next to her.

The pretty young woman was very approachable, which put Xu Xiumei at ease.

Shen Qingzhou put down her chopsticks, not asking how the other person found this place, but rather why they wanted to find it in the first place.

"Because of surveillance."

Xu Xiumei slightly avoided Shen Qingzhou's gaze, refusing to make contact with him.

"Although the surveillance footage can't hear what I said to you, it can show that I said a lot of things to you, but I don't remember any of it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou suddenly realized what was going on and turned to Old Zhong, saying, "I hate all this high technology."

Old Zhong smiled awkwardly. Investigating others is one thing, but being caught red-handed is another.

He looked at Xu Xiumei and said with a forced smile, "Sorry, we didn't mean any harm—"

Shen Qingzhou interrupted him directly, saying, "We were hired by your husband to find evidence of your infidelity, but this matter ends here, and we will not bother you anymore."

"Why does this have to end? Is it because of something I said to you yesterday? Why don't I remember anything about it?"

Xu Xiumei really wanted to find out the truth. When a person has too many secrets in their heart, they are very afraid of saying the wrong thing and letting it slip.

The fact that the other party said that was the end of it was not good news to her. It meant that the other party already knew that she didn't have a mistress at all. How did the other party know this and be so sure? Just thinking about it made her feel a sense of fear.

"That's not important. We're just here to catch them in the act," Shen Qingzhou said.

Xu Xiumei fell silent upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, and then quickly glanced at the two of them.

Then he asked, "How much did Ma Weiguo pay you?"

"Five hundred thousand," Old Zhong hurriedly replied.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiumei immediately said, "I can give you one million, as long as you promise me that you will no longer help Ma Weiguo in any way."

Is this for real?

Shen Qingzhou and Lao Zhong exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy on each other's faces.

Then they all nodded in unison, "Okay."

The 250,000 that was lost has been doubled back in this way.

Seeing how readily they agreed, Xu Xiumei became somewhat uneasy.

The main reason is that Shen Qingzhou's abilities are simply too incredible; he can hypnotize people without them even realizing it.

If the other party hypnotizes her in some important occasion and makes her admit to things that don't exist, then everything she has will be destroyed in an instant. That's what terrifies her the most.

But she didn't dare to use force, because who knew if the other party had any other special methods.

After all, when they discovered Shen Qingzhou's identity, the promotional materials still mentioned feng shui, ghost catching, and exorcising evil spirits.

Xu Xiumei then said, "But how can I trust you?"

"Since you've managed to find this place, you must know something about us. We're a very reputable company," Shen Qingzhou said.

But clearly, these words did not reassure Xu Xiumei. After all, reputation is sometimes no different from toilet paper; it can be discarded at any time as long as there is enough benefit.

So Xu Xiumei said, "Then can we sign an agreement?"

"Of course," Shen Qingzhou readily agreed.

Old Zhong quickly added, "But we might take a few more photos of you. Don't worry, they're all photos of you in public places, for your husband to use for official business."

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, though it may be small. Even with this million, the 250,000 deposit can never be returned.

Xu Xiumei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then she waved to the outside, and the female lawyer gracefully entered the house.

The burly man who appeared to be a bodyguard remained standing outside the door, his hands in his pockets, watching the room warily—or more precisely, staring at Lao Zhong and Shen Qingzhou with an unfriendly gaze.

Up close, the lawyer looks even more beautiful.

The female lawyer produced a draft agreement, which was clearly prepared in advance.

This surprised both Lao Zhong and Shen Qingzhou.

Xu Xiumei is no simple woman; she had already roughly anticipated and estimated the situation beforehand.

However, this was none of their business; after reading the agreement, they both signed it.

Seeing that they had signed the agreement, Xu Xiumei didn't hesitate and immediately transferred the money via her mobile phone. After the transfer was completed, she immediately signaled to the female lawyer to take the signed agreement and leave.

Once she reached the door, carrying the agreement, she went straight downstairs. Only then did Xu Xiumei breathe a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became more genuine.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Zhong, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future," she said.

"Of course, as long as you're willing to pay, you can come to us for anything that happens," Shen Qingzhou said.

"Anything?" Xu Xiumei repeated the question, lost in thought.

She stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb you any longer."

As he spoke, he prepared to walk out the door.

Jiang Xinyue hurriedly got up to see him off, but when she was halfway there, she suddenly stopped and turned slightly to the side.

"May I ask what I said yesterday?"

"Oh, so you said you didn't have a mistress, so we'll stop following you."

"Is that so? Then I hope that neither of you will ever appear in front of me again before my husband and I get divorced."

"Don't worry, since we've taken your money, we definitely won't show up in front of you on our own, unless you come to us yourself."

"OK, thanks."

Xu Xiumei thanked her and then strode out the door.

As he passed the bodyguard, he called out, "Let's go."

The bodyguard hurriedly followed, but the moment he turned around, he glared at the two of them fiercely.

Seeing his behavior, Shen Qingzhou looked at Lao Zhong with some confusion, "Did you offend him?"

"I don't even know him, this is the first time I've seen him."

"Oh, then this person is probably a lunatic. Lunatics get diarrhea," Shen Qingzhou laughed.

Old Zhong looked bewildered. How were these two sentences connected? What did it mean to have diarrhea because of a mental illness?

Meanwhile, downstairs, our bodyguard opened the car door first, letting the two ladies get in, before quickly getting into the driver's seat and preparing to drive away.

But as soon as he sat down, his stomach started rumbling, followed by an uncontrollable, loud, and smelly fart.

But that wasn't the worst part, because the fart also brought out his own poop.

"I'm so sorry, I think I ate something bad—"

He quickly apologized, but before he could finish speaking, his chrysanthemum started spraying water like a burst dam, filling the car with a foul stench.

Xu Xiumei and her lawyer quickly opened the car door and rushed out, only then catching their breath.

The phone rang in the office. Jiang Xinyue answered it and turned to Shen Qingzhou, saying, "It's that lady from earlier calling."

"Tell her she won't die," Shen Qingzhou said.

Old Zhong was a little confused, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Never mind that, let's continue talking about how that mansion was exorcised and warded off evil spirits—"
