Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Song Jiaren was shocked and saw that the person holding her was a familiar child. This child pulled her from all sorts of small roads as they ran towards the small bungalow in the backyard. The strange thing was that their running route was not discovered by any Jiang family. Everyone in the Jiang
family was alarmed, and the backyard was quickly filled with people.
Song Jiaren was brought to the loft on the third floor of the small building by the child. She observed the situation downstairs through the small window and saw that Old Master Jiang had already arrived. He said something to the butler beside him. Due to the distance, Song Jiaren could not hear clearly.
However, she saw the butler bringing people to the Jiang family’s main building and knew that something was wrong.
She quickly said to the boy beside her, “I want to go back to the main building. Can you help me?”
This child was the one she had seen at the banquet, Jiang Cang, the young master who had been called a devil by the Jiang family.
After Jiang Cang brought her back to the attic, he sat on the ground with a building block and played. When he heard her words, he looked up at her with no emotion in his eyes. He said, “You said that you came to play with me last time. I’ve been waiting for you, you liar.”
Song Jiaren didn’t expect him to really take it seriously. Hearing his accusation, she suddenly felt a little guilty. She quickly said, “‘m anxious now. If they find out that I’m missing, they’ll definitely kill me. I’ll definitely come and play with you next time, okay? I can even take you to the amusement park to
play.”
Jiang Cang lowered his head to play with the legos again. When Jiang Cang heard the mention of the amusement park, he paused and pursed his lips before climbing up. He looked into Song Jing’s eyes and said, “Don’t lie to me this time.”
Song Jiaren nodded seriously. She didn’t know why she believed that this boy had a way.
Jiang Cang brought her out of the building and found a tunnel entrance in a room on the second floor, then gestured for her to enter.
Song Jiaren walked in and saw a dark passageway. Jiang Cang had already closed the passageway and returned to the attic while carrying his only toy.
Song Jiaren quickly walked to the other side of the tunnel entrance. As soon as she came out, she realized that she was already standing in the room. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
She quickly took off her clothes and mask to wet her body with the shower head. She thought about it and squeezed some shampoo into her hair before wrapping a towel around her. The moment she came out, she saw the butler who had broken in. She asked in surprise, “Butler, what are you doing?”
The butler saw that she had just showered and took a step back. “I’m sorry, Miss Shen. A thief just came to the Jiang family. I was worried about your safety, so I came to take a look.”
Song Jiaren revealed a hint of panic and said, “How could this be? It won’t be dangerous, right?”
The butler looked at her and suddenly asked, “Why would you shower in the middle of the night?”
Song Jiaren smiled in embarrassment. “I’m a little picky with beds. I just came to the Jiang family’s residence and wasn’t used to it. I just had a nightmare, so I took a shower.”
It was unknown whether the butler believed it or not, but he continued to ask, “The alarm outside just rang. It didn’t disturb you, right?”
She touched her hair and said, “I was showering just now and was shocked when I heard the alarm. I came out without even washing my hair. Fortunately, you guys came. Otherwise, I would have been really frightened.”
The butler looked at the white foam on her head and his expression finally softened. He walked into the room and let the people behind him search. It was only when the people behind him had already started to move that he asked, “For safety reasons, let’s search the room. Miss Shen won’t mind, right?”
Song Jiaren couldn’t even maintain the smile on her face.. The search had already begun, so what was the point of asking? Would they leave just because she said no?
