At this point,
Xiao Fei had lost interest in continuing his deductions.
The most critical culprit had been identified; as for the remaining side quests…
Figuring out everyone's identities and secrets, or locating the Jiuxuan Stone, no longer felt important—those could be left to others.
The script might be fascinating for them, but Xiao Fei simply couldn't muster up the enthusiasm.
He went back to sit beside Tang Yuxin.
"Hubby, you were so cool just now!"
Tang Yuxin leaned in close to Xiao Fei's ear and whispered softly.
Just then, the shopkeeper suddenly walked in.
"Boss Qi, you have a pigeon message!"
Pigeon message?
Oh, it's just a phone call.
Xiao Fei apologized briefly, stood up, and went outside the room with Tang Yuxin.
Taking the phone from the shopkeeper's hand, Xiao Fei saw that the missed call came from his father, Xiao Jun.
He immediately called back.
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Fei said, "Dad, what's up?"
