My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 148 - Still The Same (2)

The next day, Qin Zhi picked up his sister a few blocks away from the Shen Estate. 

"Quick. Drive away," Shen Minyao demanded once she settled next to her brother. 

Today, she was wearing a black jacket, white shirt, and fitted denim jeans. Her long hair was covered with a brown shoulder-length wig. 

"Why are you in a hurry?" Qin Zhi arched a brow towards his sister, the work on his laptop forgotten. He noticed that she was wearing a pair of colored contact lenses today, and her style was a little different from usual. "Is that a wig?" 

"Hn. Didn't you tell me to disguise myself? Don't you know how hard it is for me to do this?" 

Ah, thankfully, the real Shen Minyao liked to dress up once in a while, and she found a few clothes and wigs in her closet. She had been racking her brains on how to disguise when Qin Zhi only gave her short notice last night.. 

"Alright, we should go. Hurry!" She told the driver, who she scented to be a demon as well. 

Shen Minyao had told Cheng Lifan that she would do a little shopping on her own and insisted not to be accompanied by Fu Xiyan and her bodyguards. After wasting some time convincing the human, the fox woman left in a hurry, not giving Cheng Lifan the time to change her mind. 

"Just making sure that none of those humans would know where I'm going today." 

"You're still the same. You will never change, will you?" Qin Zhi sighed. 

He should have known that Daji wouldn't change her ways, even in this era. Even in the past, not even the emperor could stop his sister if she wanted to step out of the palace. So it shouldn't be surprising to see her acting like this. 

The car left, and Shen Minyao played on her phone, while her brother continued working on his laptop. She hadn't questioned him about what he was doing; neither was she curious about how he ran a company filled with demons without being suspected by humans around them. She never dared to question him unless it was related to her or Feng Jiu. 

"I heard that you are breaking Shen Minyao's engagement with the second young master of the Su family. It's better for you to cut ties with him as soon as possible," Qin Zhi suddenly said out of the blue, taking Shen Minyao's attention from the mobile game she was playing. 

"Why? What's going on?" She turned her head to look at her brother, whose attention remained on his work. 

"The Su family is in trouble. They might not have noticed it yet, but sooner or later, trouble would come knocking on their door. It's impossible for them to resist the calamity that has to hit them." 

Shen Minyao suddenly burst out in laughter. She didn't expect that the Su family was in such a predicament. Now, she couldn't wait to see how Shen Qing would react after hearing such news. Oh, well. It was foolish on her part to cling unto Su Yin in the first place, but a bitch and a bastard surely were a match made in hell. 

Anyway, Qin Zhi passed a folder to his sister for her to check. 

"These are the information we are able to compile about those six humans. See if you find something suspicious," he told her. 

"Wait. Let me finish this round before seeing it," the fox woman said before the sounds coming from her phone were the only things that could be heard inside the car. 

Once she was done, she found six profiles of the humans that the school had recently hired. 

"How sure are you that the demon isn't one of the regulars of the school?" She suddenly asked. 

"I also considered that, but none of those humans had traces of the demon left on their person," Qin Zhi replied. "We should start with those six. If we encounter a dead end after this, then we'll add the other staff to investigate." 

An hour later, Shen Minyao found themselves in a residential area of Jiang City. She alighted from the car and saw one of the six humans walking along the street with a young girl holding her hand. 

Shen Minyao glanced at her brother before leaving.

"Xiao An, don't let go of mommy's hand, okay? There are so many people at the supermarket," the woman named Xie Yan told her seven-year-old daughter, Qiao An, with a smile.

"En. I will not let go of Mommy's hand!" The young girl squealed, almost making the fox woman winced from it.

The fox woman watched them from a far distance, waiting for the right time to introduce herself. As she expected, the girl had let go of her mother's hand and gotten lost in the crowd. It was only by then did Shen Minyao kneel in front of the child and try to coax her to stop crying. 

"Jiejie, please help me find my mommy! Waaah!" 

Shen Minyao's eye twitched, but she didn't allow the young girl to see her irritation. Wasn't this why she hated children and kept away from them as much as possible? They were little demons pretending to be angels with such cute, adorable faces they had. 

"Sure. I'll help you look around. You tell me if you see your mommy, okay?" Shen Minyao said in a gentle voice that almost made Xiao Bai puked from her acting. 

'Miss surely knows how to act,' he told her through telepathy. 

'You jest.' Shen Minyao could feel a vein on her head about to explode from annoyance. She really had to give it to Shen Qing for pretending innocence so easily. Aiya, with a pretty face, it was so easy to scam these superficial humans. 

Thankfully, Qiao An finally stopped her crying and held Shen Minyao's hand as they walked around the aisles of the huge supermarket to find her mother.
