Chapter 2120 Gathering together

"Eh? Is this the Night Inspection of the Demon Suppression Department? Why are you here at this time?"

Someone said doubtfully.

"That's not right. The Demon Suppression Bureau usually doesn't come to the Ning Mansion for night inspections. This is the Ning family's territory."

echoed another.

"I don't understand. Look, those two people from the Demon Suppression Bureau seem to have gone to that barbecue restaurant. I was wondering today why there was suddenly a barbecue restaurant in front of the school."

Someone pointed to a barbecue restaurant not far away and said.

"I don't know why, but I feel like something big is happening. I think we should leave quickly..."

Someone else suggested.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, patrol officers in demon-suppression uniforms walking on the street would not attract much attention, because it was a very common occurrence. People were already used to such scenes.

However, at this moment, the situation changed. Unexpectedly, two patrol officers from the Demon Suppression Division appeared in Ningfu District, and at the gate of Yancheng Starfleet Academy! This scene was obviously very different from the usual norm and seemed quite abnormal.

You know, Ningfu District is the sphere of influence of the Ning family. Although it is still under the jurisdiction of Guangming District in name, in fact, due to certain sensitive issues, there is not even a branch of the Demon Suppression Department here. Despite this, this has not had much impact on the security of Ningfu District. After all, in other areas of Yancheng, if someone breaks the law and is arrested by the Demon Suppression Department, they will still deal with it according to the established rules and regulations. Generally speaking, minor offenses may be detained and fined, while serious offenses may directly face imprisonment, but in any case, the corresponding procedures will always be followed.

However, if someone commits a crime in Ningfu District and is caught by the Ning family, the result may be unpredictable. The Ning family has absolute say and disposal rights in this area, and their handling methods may be completely different from the usual practices of the Demon Suppression Division. Therefore, when people see the patrol officers of the Demon Suppression Division appear in Ningfu District, they will naturally feel very surprised and curious.

Therefore, although there is no branch of the Demon Suppression Bureau here, it is indeed the safest area in the entire Yancheng. Li Lingzhi and Cui Yingying walked side by side and slowly entered the lobby of the barbecue restaurant.

In the hall, two waiters were sitting leisurely on chairs, each holding a light computer in their hands, watching short videos intently, with relaxed and happy smiles on their faces.

The moment Li Lingzhi and Cui Yingying stepped into the hall, the waiters' attention was drawn to them. They stood up from their chairs instinctively, and one of them smiled and spoke.

"Sorry, we haven't officially opened yet, you can wait a few days..."

However, before waiter A finished speaking, his eyes suddenly fell on Li Lingzhi and Cui Yingying. His eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something incredible, and his voice paused unconsciously.

Because he noticed the clothes these two people were wearing - they were the uniforms of the Demon Suppression Bureau!

The Demon Suppression Division? Why would someone from the Demon Suppression Division come here? Waiter A thought to himself, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

Just then, Cui Yingying said with a smile.

"We're looking for someone."

Her voice was calm and gentle, and she didn't seem to notice anything unusual about Waiter A.

Cui Yingying spoke first, and as she spoke, waiter A also looked at her face.

In an instant, waiter A stood still.

"Chief Cui... Director Cui!?"

"Shh!"

Seeing that she was recognized, Cui Yingying's heart tightened, fearing that she would be discovered by others, she quickly put her index finger on her lips, signaling waiter A to be quiet. After all, they came here secretly, and it would be difficult to deal with if they were exposed in advance.

"Lead the way, you know who we are looking for!"

Cui Yingying lowered her voice and spoke to waiter A anxiously.

Waiter A naturally understood what Cui Yingying meant. He quickly came to his senses and nodded in response.

"Okay, please follow me."

However, when his eyes fell on Li Lingzhi next to Cui Yingying, his brain suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.

Li Lingzhi!? Waiter A's eyes widened in disbelief. He could never have imagined that his boss was so powerful that he could not only invite a big shot like Tian Qi, but also Cui Yingying, the director of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and Li Lingzhi, who held a pivotal position in the entire China, to come in person.

This was so unexpected! Waiter A couldn't help but become deeply curious about his boss's background and connections.

However, he quickly came to his senses and realized that now was not the time to be in a daze. So he hurriedly led Cui Yingying and Li Lingzhi upstairs, talking as they walked.

"Please follow me upstairs. Minister Tian is in the private room on the second floor."

When waiters AB saw this scene, they dared not delay for even a second and hurriedly led the way, fearing that they would neglect the two distinguished guests.

Li Lingzhi and Cui Yingying followed closely behind and stepped onto the stairs together. As they got closer and closer to the upper floor, Cui Yingying's excitement became more and more difficult to suppress. She seemed to have seen Tian Qi's shocked, puzzled, and perhaps even slightly embarrassed expression when he saw the two of them.

In the long years, finding something like this is also a kind of fun for them to kill time. After all, when Cui Yingying was just seriously injured and lying on the bed unable to move, Tian Qi ran over in a hurry, jumping in front of her, and asked about her well-being and caring for her. She was even closer than her own mother. Cui Yingying still remembers that attentive look, and she hates it every time she thinks of it.

"Dong dong dong."

After knocking on the door for the two, waiters AB sensibly stepped back and left quickly, leaving the stage to the two big guys in front of them.

"Hmm? Please come in."

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Tian Qi put down the teacup in his hand, hummed in confusion, and then spoke.

At the same time, she looked at Liu Zhuangshi Luyue who was sitting opposite her, with some confusion in her eyes.

As if asking: Are there any other guests?

Lu Yue and Liu Zhuangshi looked at each other, also a little stunned. The dishes had been served, and it was impossible for the waiter to be so tactless and knock on the door to disturb them. Who was it?

As Tian Qi said "please come in", the door was pushed open instantly, and Cui Yingying, with a curious and impatient look on her face, rushed in.

"Where is it? Where is it? Let me see. I have to check it carefully in order to make our Miss Tian's iron tree bloom!"

Looking at Cui Yingying rushing in, Tian Qi stood there in a daze, his mind went blank and his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

The reactions of the others were similar to Tian Qi's. Liu Zhuangshi even swallowed hard and almost choked.

Cui Yingying! ?

How many big Buddha statues can this small temple of mine accommodate? ? ? How can this.........

"Are you sick?!"

Seeing Cui Yingying rushing in and looking at the people at the table, Li Lingzhi couldn't hold it anymore. She pulled Cui Yingying to the door and signaled her not to go crazy.

At this time, Tian Qi also noticed Li Lingzhi behind Cui Yingying, and his face changed instantly.

Oh no, the enemy outnumbers us!

"Tsk, Tian Qi, you didn't skip work and postpone the meeting just to have dinner with the 'little friend'?"

Cui Yingying had obviously forgotten the three rules she had agreed with Li Lingzhi. She looked at Tian Qi with a teasing expression, and then glanced at Lu Yue who was sitting opposite Tian Qi.

Although on this planet, one cannot roughly judge age by appearance, but who is Cui Yingying?

Super star body cultivator, spiritual cultivator! With a slight sense, Lu Yue's underwear was seen through in front of her. From the bone age and the blood concentration in his body, Cui Yingying instantly judged that Lu Yue's real age was only 20 years old, and Liu Zhuangshi next to him was only in his early 40s.

Although Liu Zhuangshi looks much older than them, in terms of age, Liu Zhuangshi is definitely the youngest among the youngest, and is not even qualified to be called grandma.

Hearing Cui Yingying's provocation, Tian Qi's face darkened instantly and he spoke with gritted teeth.

"You want to cause trouble, right..."

"Tsk, you can't beat me. We are just worried that an older girl like you might get abducted. We have good intentions."

"In terms of age, you seem to be one month older than me."

"......"

Seeing the two people arguing, Lu Yue, Liu Zhuangshi, and Tian Qingtian silently lowered their heads and looked at the floor, pretending that they heard nothing....

While the two were bickering, Li Lingzhi quickly glanced at the people sitting at the table. When she found that Ye Ye was not among them, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the advance contact between me and Elodie worked. Ye Ye should have received the call and left.

"Okay, why does Tian Qi have to report to you? Now that you're here, do you mind adding two pairs of chopsticks?"

Li Lingzhi interrupted at this time and looked at Liu Zhuangshi.

When the two looked at each other, Liu Zhuangshi instantly understood.

"Of course, of course. Please take a seat, both of you."

Seeing Tian Qi being humiliated, Cui Yingying seemed to be in a good mood. She pulled a chair and sat next to Tian Qi. Tian Qingtian was so scared that he quickly ran to Lu Yue opposite and made a seat for Li Lingzhi.

Tian Qi seemed to feel a little guilty and ignored Cui Yingying. Instead, he picked up the dishes calmly and his eyes were slightly absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking.

And Lu Yue had been staring at Cui Yingying from beginning to end.

Idol! My idol actually appeared right in front of me! ?

"Little boy, it is very impolite to stare at others, especially girls."

Cui Yingying naturally noticed Lu Yue's fanatical admiration and spoke half-jokingly, but she didn't mean any ill will. After all, since Lu Yue could sit here, he must be friends with Tian Qi. Her behavior just now was just a joke between best friends. If she really thought that Tian Qi had a crush on Lu Yue, then she would be really crazy.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

After hearing what Cui Yingying said, Lu Yue's face turned red instantly and he lowered his head.

But when Lu Yue said this, Cui Yingying frowned instinctively.

The sound is wrong!

Liu Zhuangshi had just started speaking, and his voice did not match the male voice in the phone call just now. She subconsciously thought that it was Lu Yue who had spoken just now.

But when Lu Yue opened his mouth, Cui Yingying found that his voice did not match what she had just heard!

At this time, Li Lingzhi also found that Liu Zhuangshi had been looking at her, as if to say...if you can take her away, then go ahead...

In an instant, Li Lingzhi's heart sank. Could it be that Ye Ye didn't leave?

"Is there anyone else?"

At this moment, Cui Yingying's sudden words broke the somewhat silent atmosphere. Liu Zhuangshi was about to speak to ease the situation when he heard Tian Qi answer first.

"One of my 'good friends' is out on the phone. He should be back soon."

After hearing Tian Qi's words, Cui Yingying instantly revealed a look of understanding. Sure enough, there was someone else.

When Li Lingzhi heard the word "friend" emphasized in Tian Qi's tone, she silently closed her eyes and sighed deeply.

Is it coming or will it come?...

"Friends? I've never heard that you have any good male friends. Did you just meet them during this period?"

After hearing Tian Qi's words, Cui Yingying's gossipy soul instantly revived again, and she asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"No, we've known each other for a long time. We met on Blue Star. It's not that he just came to Morning Star from another place and came to see me the first thing he did."

Tian Qi said this without blushing, which made Tian Qingtian feel embarrassed...

Did they really come to you first? Wasn't it us...

After hearing Tian Qi's words, Cui Yingying became even more curious.

Were you on Blue Star?

And took the initiative to find Tian Qi?

"I... feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, you guys talk first..."

Li Lingzhi couldn't hold it anymore, and spoke, standing up and preparing to leave this ominous place first... and arrange an early warning by the way, so as not to really destroy the Ningfu District later...

Cui Yingying looked at Li Lingzhi strangely. Li Lingzhi also had stomachache?

It was too late, or it was a coincidence. Just as Li Lingzhi stood up, there was a sound of the door handle being turned. In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the door.

"I'm sorry, a friend who I haven't contacted for a long time suddenly contacted me. I just exchanged a few pleasantries and took up your time."

Ye Ye walked in with an apologetic look on his face, talking as he walked, as if he was very happy to get in touch with Elodie again. After coming in, he didn't even look to see if there were any more people in the private room, and walked straight to his seat. However, when he approached his seat, he unexpectedly saw Tian Qingtian with a terrified face.

"Eh? Teacher Tian? Why are you sitting here?"

Ye Ye was stunned and asked, but the next moment, he felt the atmosphere was a bit weird, because no one spoke and the whole private room was silent.

Subconsciously, Ye Ye looked across the table at Li Lingzhi who had already stood up.

Hmm? Why is Li Lingzhi here?

Why is there another person next to Tian Qi?

Hiss....Cui...

"what!"

A scream instantly interrupted Ye Ye's thoughts. At the same time, because she was overly frightened or surprised, Cui Yingying did not control her strength well, and her mental power leaked out unconsciously. All the windows and glassware within a radius of more than ten miles were instantly shattered, and even the electrical circuits were briefly affected. The alarm in the Ning family's main house sounded instantly.
