Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 821: President Fu Comes to Pick Someone Up

Xia Xin was taken aback and somewhat surprised: "Qing Yue has been with President Fu all this time?"

Xun Tianhai responded with a hum, "So they say. We’re part of an official organization, and President Fu’s status seems special. When he was abroad, he always had people from the Unusual Affairs Management Office protecting him, and Qing Yue was one of them. He was even personally requested by President Fu."

Xia Xin: "..."

Why did he get more confused the more he listened?

He knew that Fu Shiyan and Qing Yue were good friends.

But he didn’t know that the two of them had been with each other day and night.

Strictly speaking, this didn’t seem like a problem...

After all, they were good friends.

But Xia Xin couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

"I see..." Xia Xin mused thoughtfully.

Xun Tianhai called to confirm the situation with Minsheng Medicine. They still hadn’t reached Qing Yue from Pei Jiu’s side, but according to rumors within the police, it seemed to be resolved.

After verifying, Xun Tianhai had some final matters to deal with and ended the call.

While Xia Xin was thinking about Qing Yue and Fu Shiyan’s situation, he walked to the door, and just as he was about to knock, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of a figure walking from the front yard.

When he turned his head, it was indeed Fu Shiyan.

Xia Xin: "..."

Is this what they mean by not being able to talk about someone behind their back?

Xia Xin looked at Fu Shiyan in astonishment.

Fu’er was walking next to Fu Shiyan, like he had brought Fu Shiyan in.

Seeing this, Xia Xin gave Fu’er an inquiring look.

Fu’er coughed and said, "President Fu said he has some matters to discuss with the Abbot."

Xia Xin frowned, "Does President Fu have something important?"

Fu Shiyan glanced at him, then looked past Xia Xin to the Zen room where Jiangli was staying.

That look seemed to imply he already knew that was Jiangli’s room.

Xia Xin became even more suspicious.

Just as he was about to ask again, Fu Shiyan walked directly to the door.

Xia Xin hadn’t reacted yet when he heard Fu Shiyan knocking on the door.

Xia Xin was just about to say something.

Fu’er grabbed his arm, gently shook his head, signaling him not to speak and just observe the situation.

Anyway, the Abbot wouldn’t suffer any losses or be bullied.

Xia Xin understood the look in Fu’er’s eyes, pursed his lips, and ended up saying nothing.

Jiangli, inside the room, had actually heard everything happening outside already.

She frowned, but hadn’t gotten up yet.

Then she heard Fu Shiyan’s voice coming from outside.

"Today, a chef specializing in Zhejiang cuisine arrived at the restaurant. Crab Stuffed Orange, Dongpo Pork, West Lake Vinegar Fish, all his specialties. Lili, do you want to try it out?"

Standing behind, Xia Xin listened to Fu Shiyan’s words, curled his lips, and thought, the Abbot wouldn’t go.

He had also offered to cook something nice for the Abbot, and she hadn’t accepted.

Why would she come out now?

Xia Xin was about to suggest Fu Shiyan try a different approach.

Then he heard a creak, and the door opened.

Watching Jiangli standing at the door, Xia Xin felt like he heard the sound of a slap echoing in the air.

In a split second, his face was swollen.

Jiangli stood at the door, looking indifferent but her eyes sparkled, seemingly piqued with interest, "Is the Dongpo Pork good?"

Fu Shiyan smiled faintly, "Why don’t you try it and find out?"

Jiangli nodded, "Alright, today is on me. I owe you a few meals anyway."

Fu Shiyan didn’t refuse.

Seeing Jiangli and Fu Shiyan looking like they were about to go out, Xia Xin asked in a daze, "Abbot... are you okay?"

Jiangli looked over, puzzled, "What could be wrong with me?"

Xia Xin: "..."

If nothing was wrong, then who was it that had locked themselves in the room just now?
