?63: Lesson 63: The Game Gets Serious 63: Lesson 63: The Game Gets Serious Jin Xin was also involved in peripheral tasks, though his concept of ‘peripheral’ was quite different from Huang Fei’s.

    Shen Yue specialized in cracking seemingly unsolvable cases, utilizing his distinctive expertise, while Jin Xin primarily dealt with gathering initial intelligence and then followed up on leads provided by Shen Yue.

    Knowing that Shen Yue had placed a tracker on the Rooster Head, Jin Xin had no trouble tracing the positions of Rooster Head and Huang Fei.

    Shen Yue had let these two go specifically for Jin Xin to interrogate!

    The poor fear poverty while the rich fear death; this has been an unchanging rule since time immemorial.

    Jin Xin, hearing that Rooster Head planned to flee by plane, knew that the man was scared of death.

    Given that, Jin Xin wouldn’t bother devising any other methods and went straight into torture for information.

    Seeing the two still deny knowing Li Yawei, even in their panicked state, Jin Xin felt they were speaking the truth.

    Simultaneously, he began suspecting that Li Yawei’s case might be related to supernatural entities.

    Huang Fei was confused whether Jin Xin was complimenting or mocking him, so he replied, “If you need anything in the future, just look for me.”

    “Are you hoping I’ll be cursed?” Jin Xin asked, his tone chilling.

    “No, no!” Huang Fei quickly shook his head.

    “Keep talking, why did Andi approach you?” Jin Xin observed the matter was getting a bit complicated.

    “She said an Australian woman had been cursed and was looking for someone to exorcise it.

    She asked me if I could help and also sent me a photo of the woman.” Huang Fei swallowed before continuing, “The woman in the picture was quite attractive, so I just…just…”

    Jin Xin snorted coldly, unholstered a dagger from his belt, pressed the spring lock, and the blade sprang out with a menacing glare.

    “I was seduced by her.” Huang Fei yelled in fright, “Sir, I…I…If I knew she was from the Li Family I wouldn’t have dared do this.”

    “We’re all men, and given your profession, it would be strange if you didn’t do this.” Jin Xin tested the blade with his finger, as if checking its piercing speed, “Go on.”

    “I told her dealing with ghosts is tricky and arranged a face-to-face meeting to understand the situation.

    If possible, I would find a powerful Taoist to help her dispel the curse.” Huang Fei said this while glancing at Rooster Head.

    Jin Xin, being familiar with these schemes, looked at Rooster Head and said: “So this is the powerful Taoist?”

    Rooster Head didn’t dare to nod or shake his head.

    Huang Fei, feigning mystery, replied: “Sir, you don’t know this.

    Roosters are considered to be very yang, and Wang Quan was born in the year of the rooster.

    Plus, with his rooster haircut, he can truly break a ghostly body formed from yin.

    When he is with a woman, he can not only exorcise her ghosts, but also change her fortune.

    This is a fact, and we don’t deceive.”

    He then added, “You know about the ‘Golden Ding’, right?

    Wang Quan is considered a ‘Golden Ding’ in our industry.”

    I don’t believe your utter nonsense.

    Jin Xin, aware of the so-called ‘Golden Ding’, knew it as a term for men who could magically alter a woman’s fate or even help her marry a wealthy man through some unique method.

    “If he’s a ‘Golden Ding’, why doesn’t he change his own fate?

    Couldn’t he foresee that he would be in trouble twice today?” Jin Xin asked derisively.

    “It doesn’t work like that.” Faced with his professional expertise, Huang Fei maintained his professional demeanor, “A ‘Golden Ding’ can only change a woman’s fate and can’t alter the fate of men or their own.”

    Jin Xin scoffed at such superstitions, though he knew many foolish women believed them.

    “So you then waited for Li Yawei and Andi?”

    Seeing Huang Fei’s hesitation, Jin Xin quickly asked, “Did I say anything wrong?”

    “No, no.” Seeing Jin Xin’s glaring eyes, Huang Fei quickly added, “Andi wanted us, seeing as we knew each other for a while, to introduce some high-profile customers to her.

    Knowing that we know Li Jizu, who is willing to spend money on women, she asked us to introduce her to him.

    Andi said she could repay us with a bit of the water she drew.

    You know, it’s only natural for women like her to look for more ways to earn money.”

    Jin Xin’s heart skipped a beat.

    Though to others, it may seem unimportant, Jin Xin quickly noticed something unusual.

    Andi knew Li Yawei and wanted to meet Li Jizu.

    Why was Andi so interested in the Li family members?

    Seeing Jin Xin not responding, Huang Fei assumed Jin Xin wasn’t interested and immediately continued, “Seeing as we knew Li Jizu, we agreed to invite him along.

    After all, it was only a minor contribution.”

    “You know Li Jizu?” Jin Xin gasped slightly, a thought flashing across his mind.

    All matters seemed to revolve around the Li family; even these two insignificant rascals had connections with the Lis! Sёar?h the N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Pulling a thought from the back of his mind, Jin Xin turned to Rooster Head, “Your name is Wang Quan?” Huang Fei had earlier mentioned the name of this ‘Golden Ding’ man, but Jin Xin did not pay it much attention at the time.

    A potentially crucial connection struck him now, “The Wang Xinghai from Titan Industries, is he your father?”

    Wang Quan nodded hesitantly, puzzled as to how Jin Xin had learned all this, “Are you a cop?” He was more afraid of the police telling his father, Wang Xinghai, about his debauchery.

    “Am I questioning you, or are you questioning me?” Jin Xin prepared to give Wang Quan another slap.

    Wang Quan quickly covered his face.

    Jin Xin’s hand halted mid-air, and he thought for a moment: “Was Li Jizu also at the Wild Bar tonight?”

    Huang Fei was greatly surprised, feeling as if the man standing before him knew a lot of insider information.

    “He was indeed at the Wild Bar.”

    “And now?” Jin Xin had no idea what had happened inside the bar.

    Huang Fei shook his head, “We hurried out without knowing his whereabouts.” Sensing Jin Xin’s piercing gaze, Huang Fei quickly added, “He saw Andi, and Andi saw him, too.

    But Andi was busy getting…getting the Australian Li Yawei exorcised first, so she came to the VIP room with us.

    During our process of exorcism, she left on her own, probably to look for Li Jizu.

    We haven’t seen Andi since then.”

    “Did Li Yawei say she was possessed?” On the orders of Li Jixian to solve Li Yawei’s trouble, Jin Xin felt this question was crucial.

    “She isn’t possessed; she has drawn the attention of a ghost.” Huang Fei shook his head, a flicker of terror evident in his eyes.

    “Even you professionals are afraid?” Jin Xin asked in a cold tone.

    Huang Fei and Wang Quan exchanged looks, seemingly reluctant to speak more.

    Seeing Jin Xin about to act, Wang Quan preempted him.

    “As soon as we entered the room, she willingly started to drink.

    We are professionals…”

    “Professional conmen?” Jin Xin retorted.

    Wang Quan looked embarrassed.

    “We don’t force women.

    They participate voluntarily.

    We don’t partake in coercion.”

    “So Li Yawei voluntarily slept with you?” Jin Xin unabashedly asked.

    “She didn’t sleep with Wang Quan.

    After she started drinking, she began spouting nonsense.” Huang Fei explained, “She said she played a game that resulted in her becoming haunted by many vengeful spirits that want her dead.”

    “What game did she play?” Jin Xin asked seriously.

    Huang Fei and Wang Quan looked at each other.

    Huang Fei hesitated then said, “I think it’s called ‘Ghost Night’.” Wang Quan remembered more clearly, “No that’s not it, the game is called ‘Hundred Ghosts Night Parade’!”

    Jin Xin’s heart sank, suddenly feeling a chill at his back.
