Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Suspicious Ma Qi

The beautiful young wife smiled slightly, poured Chen Feng a cup of fragrant tea, and placed it on the coffee table in front of him, then asked with a smile, "What is your esteemed surname, handsome guy?"

"Chen Feng!"

Chen Feng replied indifferently.

"Chen Feng!"

The beautiful young wife nodded thoughtfully and then said, "My name is Ma Qi, and everyone here calls me Sister Qi. However, since you have sought me out, you must have already learned about me in advance, haven’t you?"

"Yes!"

Chen Feng nodded, not bothering to hide it.

"So, what is it that you’re looking for me for?"

Ma Qi asked with a smile.

"Sister Qi is indeed straightforward. In that case, I won’t beat around the bush. I’m here because of a person!"

Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Oh? Who might that be?"

Ma Qi picked up her small teacup, gently took a sip of the fragrant tea, and asked.

"Zhou Yuying!"

Chen Feng stated.

Upon hearing these three words, Ma Qi’s delicate body trembled slightly, and a hint of panic flashed through her eyes.

In a moment of distraction, her jade-like hand slipped, and the teacup she held wasn’t steady, falling to the floor.

Instantly, the exquisite porcelain teacup shattered into pieces, and tea splattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: There’s definitely something going on here!

If Ma Qi were merely a romantic rival, why would she be so flustered upon hearing Zhou Yuying’s name?

There could only be one reason for all this—Ma Qi had something to hide!

However, Chen Feng was in no rush, and he continued to observe Ma Qi without betraying any emotion.

After all, Ma Qi was a woman who had seen the world. After a brief moment of panic, she quickly regained her composure as if nothing had happened.

She gave Chen Feng an apologetic smile and said, "I’m sorry about that, my hand slipped. It didn’t startle you, did it?"

"No!"

Chen Feng shook his head with a smile.

"Oh, that’s good then!"

Ma Qi patted her ample chest and let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at Chen Feng and asked, "You just mentioned you’re here because of Zhou Yuying?"

"Yes!"

Chen Feng nodded.

"What is your relationship with her?"

Ma Qi continued to ask.

"I am her doctor!"

Chen Feng said indifferently.

"A doctor? Is she sick?"

Ma Qi asked with great surprise.

"That’s correct, and she is seriously ill. Weren’t you aware of that?"

Chen Feng asked with a smile, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

"Why should I know if she is sick?"

Ma Qi’s expression changed slightly as she retorted.

"It’s common knowledge among the entire upper class of Coastal. To my knowledge, not only were you and Zhou Yuying college classmates and roommates, but you were also the best of friends. Even after graduation, you remained in contact frequently. Now that your dear friend’s life is hanging by a thread, you’re telling me that you didn’t know? Isn’t that a bit too much?"

Chen Feng stared into Ma Qi’s eyes and spoke slowly.

"I...I’ve been quite busy recently, so I haven’t been in contact with them much!"

Ma Qi stammered as she spoke.

At that moment, her complexion had already turned rather unsightly, and her gaze became somewhat evasive, dodging Chen Feng’s eyes. She dared not meet Chen Feng’s gaze and appeared somewhat guilty.

"Oh? Really?"

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked indifferently.

When he had first arrived, he had also thought it was unlikely to be Ma Qi, after all, considering the deep friendship between classmates, even if there were conflicts of feeling, it was hardly possible for her to turn assassin.

But now, the more Chen Feng looked, the more he suspected Ma Qi!

Because at this moment, her demeanor seemed very guilty!

And why would a person feel guilty for no reason?

This indicated that she had a guilty conscience, that she was lying!

Ma Qi, being stared at by Chen Feng continuously, felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

Because she always felt that Chen Feng’s eyes seemed to be able to see right through her.

Ma Qi took a deep breath, reached out to grab a new teacup from the coffee table, and poured herself another cup of fragrant tea, feigning calm, "Of course it’s true, why would I lie about that?"

"Ma Qi, the news of Ms. Zhou’s terminal illness has spread almost throughout Coastal’s high society. Even if you hadn’t been in touch with Ms. Zhou, you should have heard something, right? If you insist that you didn’t receive any news at all, that’s really a bit hard to believe."

Chen Feng said serenely.

"What, I can’t be away from Coastal for a while? I can’t go abroad? Besides, why do I have to make you believe me? Who do you think you are?"

Ma Qi, also getting somewhat emotionally out of control from Chen Feng’s continuous questioning, glared bitterly at Chen Feng and said with a bit of anger.

"I’ve already introduced myself before, my name is Chen Feng, and I’m Ms. Zhou’s doctor!"

Chen Feng said with a slight smile.

"You still remember that you’re a doctor? Since you’re a doctor, why are you here instead of by your patient’s side?"

Ma Qi glared at Chen Feng, her words tinged with irritation.

"Ma Qi, we’re just having a normal conversation, there’s no need for you to get so angry, is there?"

Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Heh, am I angry? That’s funny! If you have nothing else, please leave. I’m tired and need to rest!"

Ma Qi scoffed coldly, her expression grim.

Clearly, she had directly given Chen Feng his marching orders.

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

He knew that it was highly unlikely to draw any useful information out of Ma Qi’s mouth!

Thus, Chen Feng stood up from the sofa and said to Ma Qi, "In that case, I’ll take my leave!"

With that, Chen Feng turned and walked towards the exit of the room.

Seeing this, Ma Qi let out a slight sigh of relief.

But just then, as Chen Feng was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned around, gave Ma Qi a slight smile, and said,

"Ah, I got so involved in our chat just now, I nearly forgot the main reason for my visit."

"I actually came today mainly to inform you that I’ve cured Mrs. Zhou’s illness, so she sent me to share the good news with you."

"After all, you two are old classmates. Naturally, Mrs. Zhou wanted you to be the first to hear this good news. Now that I have fulfilled my mission, I bid you farewell!"

After finishing his words, Chen Feng turned around and left the room without looking back.

As Chen Feng’s figure disappeared from the room, Ma Qi was frozen on the sofa, motionless. Her face had turned extremely unsightly, as Chen Feng’s parting words echoed in her ears.

Cured?

How could that be possible?

No, she had to go back and see what was going on for herself!

After a moment of conflict, Ma Qi hastily stood up, grabbed her car keys from nearby, and hurried out of the room, down to the first floor.

The bartender Red Sister saw Ma Qi rushing down, her complexion looking troubled, and instantly became puzzled. She quickly approached and asked, "Ma Qi, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing, just look after the bar for me. I have to step out!"

Ma Qi waved her hand dismissively, then quickly bypassed Red Sister, striding fast toward the exit of the bar.
