The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Chapter 711: Chapter 48: Strongest Demon Exorcist

When Tianmiao returned to the courtyard, he saw a person tied up in the middle, unable to move. Ropes were wrapped around the person, which were actually made of Mo Bai Ning’s spiritual power.

Li Bielang looked at the person tossed in the middle of the courtyard and raised his eyebrows, ”Wow, this demon is actually quite handsome.”

The bound demon was wearing a perfectly fitting suit, with a tall and slender figure, a handsome face, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a refined elegance. Even though he was tied up and unable to move, he remained calm and composed.

”Tang Zheng.” After sitting down, Tianmiao looked at the demon and called out his name.

”Are you going to lock me in the Demon-locking Tower, or eliminate me on the spot?” asked the demon named Tang Zheng with a face of calmness.

”Take a guess.” Tianmiao took the drink handed over by Kong Hou, took a leisurely sip, and asked with a smile.

”I can’t guess.”

”Set him free,” Tianmiao said to Mo Bai Ning.

Mo Bai Ning snapped his fingers, and the ropes on Tang Zheng disappeared. Tang Zheng stood up, rubbed his wrists, and looked at Tianmiao with a puzzled expression.

”Have a seat.” Tianmiao pointed to a nearby stool, ”Would you like something to drink?”

”Just hot water is fine.” Though full of confusion, Tang Zheng sat down as instructed. He looked around, oh, five demon exorcists. He really was honored to be surrounded by five demon exorcists.

”You demons really know how to stay healthy.” Tuoba Wu sneered sarcastically, then got himself a bottle of drink, twisted it open, and gulped down more than half of it.

Tang Zheng took the hot water handed over by Kong Hou and thanked him politely.

”Do you know why we’re looking for you?” Tianmiao asked again.

”Because of those three missing detectives.” Tang Zheng said, ”But I don’t know why they were tracking and investigating me. I suspected they discovered some clues and feared exposing my identity, so I locked them up.”

”Heartbreaker? Or just troublesome romantic entanglements?” Mo Bai Ning, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

”What?” Tang Zheng looked blank.

”Hu Yiqiao.” Lin Duoduo mentioned a person’s name.

”Who is that?” Tang Zheng frowned.

”Oh, so just an insignificant troublesome romance.” Mo Bai Ning commented expressionlessly.

”She’s the daughter of the company’s CEO where you previously worked. Manager of another department.” Lin Duoduo helped Tang Zheng recall, ”Did you not have any interactions with her?”

”Oh, I remember now.” Tang Zheng suddenly realized, ”Manager Hu. Now that you mention it, I know her, but I didn’t know her name was Hu Yiqiao.”

”Hahaha...” Li Bielang couldn’t help but laugh, as he had just finished reading the documents in Lin Duoduo’s hands with her permission, ”This is the first time I’ve seen such a situation. A workaholic demon who has no impression of his colleague’s romantic advances. So pitiful.”

”She was looking for me?” Tang Zheng frowned.

”So you don’t know why she was seeking you?” Li Bielang asked with wide eyes.

Tang Zheng shook his head, ”That company hired a powerful superpower user, and I was afraid of exposing my identity, so I resigned and left to find another job. Why was she looking for me?”

”What do we do now?” Li Bielang looked at Tianmiao.

”Why are you mingling in human society? What’s your real purpose?” Tuoba Wu asked harshly.

”Going to work, eating, watching movies.” Tang Zheng replied earnestly.

”Huh?” Tuoba Wu looked at Tang Zheng with wide eyes in disbelief, not trusting that a powerful demon would integrate into human society just for those things. A demon capable of transforming into human form must naturally possess immense power. If it weren’t for the combined efforts of the three of them, they would never have captured him so smoothly.
