Zhou Heng sat on the corner of the sofa, while his white cat slept quietly on the table.
Countless mysteries were laid in front of Zhou Heng. Xu Lingshan's soul had obviously already been infected and decayed by the parasite, so why did it revive so early in the morning? When she came out of the factory that day, who was the one controlling the enchantment to injure her? Who was it that nurtured those parasites and made them into drugs? Why had these Magi come all the way to the sea? Zhou Heng could not answer any of the countless questions.
He first took off the blanket from his bed and covered Xu Lingshan's body which was on the sofa, then walked towards the door.
After opening the door, Zhou Heng saw Miss Tong, Bai Lu and Qin Fen but he was not there.
"I have urgent matters to discuss with you!" Qin Fen excitedly told Zhou Heng.
"What's so important?" Zhou Heng asked while walking out of the room, and then closed the door. This was to prevent them from seeing Xu Lingshan on the sofa.
"Let's go eat first," Qin Fen said. "We'll talk while we eat."
Things that could be said while eating wouldn't be too urgent, right? Zhou Heng retorted in his heart. The three girls came to invite him out for a meal. Two of them were school beauties while the other one was quite pretty. To ordinary boys, this would definitely be a beautiful matter, but to Zhou Heng, it was not considered beautiful at all. The restaurants these girls went to usually only looked at the taste and not the quantity, whereas Zhou Heng only looked at the taste and not the taste. Eating with them not only required Zhou Heng to endure the torment inflicted on himself by the taste buds, but also did not replenish his strength by much, it was truly a tiring task.
"What!" Qin Fen could tell that Zhou Heng was unhappy, hence she elbowed him with his elbow, "It's not like I need you to treat me to food again!"
With that, Qin Fen pointed to Bai Lu beside her: "Today, elder sister Lu will treat you to dinner, please do not be courteous!"
Zhou Heng said helplessly: "Alright, I won't be polite."
Bai Lu looked at Zhou Heng, wanted to say something, but closed his mouth.
"Oh right," Zhou Heng asked, "Where's Xu Yi?"
"It seems like something happened at home," Miss Tong answered, "So I went back to take care of it."
"Did his family disappear?" Qin Fen said, "It's been so chaotic lately, I think there's been a lot of trouble …"
"Ah Fen, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Bai let out a shout and stopped Qin Fen.
Qin Fen knew she said the wrong words, and immediately covered her mouth.
Zhou Heng and the others all nodded.
They went off in the direction of the restaurant.
Along the way, Qin Fen asked Zhou Heng why she didn't come to class yesterday, but Zhou Heng casually found a reason and explained. Qin Fen did not pursue the matter any further. In her opinion, Zhou Heng usually brought a pet cat to class, and on the most exaggerated of days, he even brought a copper rod. He was simply even more of a playboy than those popinjays, so skipping classes was obviously normal.
Zhou Heng noticed that someone was following them.
"That's the guy?" There were a total of three people who were following Zhou Heng and the others, and although they were all discussing softly, they could not escape Zhou Heng's sensitive hearing.
"That's right, it's the man in the middle."
"Don't judge a book by its cover. You don't even know this logic?"
"The girl beside him is quite handsome."
"Watch carefully. Don't think about writing anything messy."
It sounded as if they were just following him. Zhou Heng didn't hear any of them say anything bad about him or his comrades. However, this did not mean that Zhou Heng was willing to let them follow behind him like a tail. If possible, Zhou Heng would settle them as soon as possible so that no unnecessary troubles would arise.
However, he was still on the main street, and the three girls were chatting happily beside him, so Zhou Heng was not in a hurry to take action.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the three people behind followed them. Ever since he had "escaped" from Zhou Heng, Miss Tong had become much bolder. He could easily refuse those he did not like, but the entire Tong Family did not feel troubled by the changes in the situation. Instead, the current Miss Tong was more and more imposing, like a Patriarch.
It was a restaurant with a stone pot fish specializing in food. The hot pot in the restaurant was also quite famous among the students. Since the store was located near the school, the price was fairly fair. Under the guidance of the waiter, the four of them sat down in one of the seats in the hall. Bai Lu and Qin Fen sat in a row, while Zhou Heng and Miss Tong sat opposite to them. Before coming to the restaurant, Bai Lu had already ordered some dishes online. She mainly ordered the hotpot accompanied by some ordinary dishes.
In the past, Miss Tong would never have eaten these things, not even thought of entering and exiting this kind of small shop. But now, she had learnt how to be generous and sit in this shop. Tong Family's servants could only protect her in the dark, but they could not interfere with her activities.
"What would you like to add?" Bai Lu asked Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng heard these words, but he did not realize that Bai Lu was talking to him. He was currently tilting his head and looking at the entrance, when the three people behind them also entered the shop and sat down.
"Hey!" Qin Fen's tone was slightly angry, she took out a pair of chopsticks and knocked on the porcelain bowl in front of Zhou Heng, "You are not looking at the three beauties here, what are you looking at?!"
Zhou Heng turned around, and was about to find an excuse when Miss Tong, who was sitting beside him, opened his mouth first: "Those three men are following us."
"What!" Qin Fen shouted loudly. All the guests in the hall looked over.
Miss Tong immediately made Qin Fen whisper a little, and said: "It's the three men that Brother Zhou Heng saw just now. They have been following us since Brother Zhou Heng's home." Miss Tong didn't rely on herself to discover these three people, they were protecting her servants in the dark and sent her a message to warn her. If Miss Tong was willing, these three people would disappear from here without a trace. But they had not done anything, and Miss Tong was not willing to make things difficult for them.
Qin Fen looked at Zhou Heng and asked him: "You noticed it a long time ago?"
Zhou Heng honestly nodded.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier!" Qin Fen was so angry that she used her chopsticks to hit Zhou Heng's head, but she was stopped by Bai Lu who was sitting beside her.
"What are you still standing there for?" Qin Fen said anxiously, "Let's call the police!"
"Maybe it's too late." Zhou Heng said with a smile.
He heard a large number of vehicles converging here.
