Mrs. Qin suddenly stood up from the sofa, not even noticing that she had knocked over the teacup in her other hand. She just held her phone tightly and asked with almost holding her breath, "What happened?"

There was no sound from the other end, and it seemed that the secretary was also startled.

Madam Qin couldn't hold it in any longer. She lowered her voice and shouted in a very intimidating voice: "I asked you what happened?!"

"..."

After a long breath, the secretary's panting voice finally came from the other side: "No."

"What's not?"

"Not Master!"

·

Under the mask was a pale face with deep brows and eyes, but so thin that the cheeks were almost slightly sunken.

It’s Qin Jianbai.

The light from the sky shone on his still confused face, which also shocked Huo Qingyun. He took two steps back and said, "You, you are not Awu, who are you? Why do you look so much like Awu?"

“……” Qin Jianbai slowly came back to his senses.

But he didn't even bother to respond to the young lady from Nangang. Instead, he immediately snatched the mask back and put it on his face. When the strap broke, he held it up with his hand and turned to look at Ye Kong.

The girl continued to look at him quietly.

But I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the chilling feeling that made my scalp tingle has gradually faded away.

"Ye Kong..." He called her name, but then stopped talking.

Huo Qingyun grabbed his sleeve again: "Who are you? Where is Ah Wu? Are you the actor Ah Wu hired to deliberately transfer me away?"

"The actor present is obviously someone else." Qin Jianbai fiercely pulled back his sleeve, causing Huo Qingyun to stagger. He frowned under his mask, "You've stayed in my house for two days and you still don't know who I am. This is a dereliction of duty for you as a guest."

"Are you Qin Jianbai from the Qin family?" Huo Qingyun finally figured it out, but her brows were still furrowed tightly. "Why do you look so much like Awu? Where is Awu?!"

"I don't know who Awu is." Qin Jianbai said in a tense voice, "As for my face, it's obvious that my mother didn't do any surgery on it - I'm sure Miss Huo is experienced enough to see this at a glance..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the back.

Huo Qingyun's face flushed red, and the face that was somewhat similar to Ye Kong was full of anger and shame: "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the last name Qin! You are just poor ghosts driven out of Nangang!"

"Fuck!" After being hit several times, Qin Jianbai seemed to want to fight back, but he had to endure it because of his upbringing.

Ye Kong glanced at the two of them leisurely, then turned his head to look at the head bodyguard who was observing the situation over there.

Without even saying anything, the other party understood what she meant, and immediately stood up and strode over, grabbing Huo Qingyun's hands that were hitting her randomly and covering her mouth that was cursing.

The store suddenly became quiet again.

Huo Qingyun's thin arms, which were still exposed in the winter, were easily controlled, and the expression on her face was full of disbelief. While struggling desperately, she finally looked Ye Kong in the face for the first time after breaking in - although it was in a glaring manner.

But Ye Kong didn't even look at her: "We'll talk about this lady smashing my door later."

She looked at Qin Jianbai, who was still holding the mask in silence, not knowing what he was thinking. Through the two dark holes in the mask, she saw a pair of deep and silent eyes, as if hiding endless fog-like gloomy emotions.

After a moment, she tilted her body again, looked over Qin Jianbai's shoulder at the Cayenne blocking the door.

Through the still solid car window, she vaguely saw a figure holding a mobile phone in the back seat.

Then the corners of his mouth curved slightly, he retracted his gaze and fell on Qin Jianbai, took two steps forward, leaned closer, and whispered softly: "You should be thankful that under this mask is Qin Jianbai's face."

This sentence is very strange, and it is hard to figure out who she is talking about being thankful for.

——But there are always people who can understand.

Through the eavesdropping device hidden in Qin Jianbai's collar.

·

"It's Qin Jianbai, not the young master!"

After hearing the secretary's response, Mrs. Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief - but as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, her face turned a little ugly.

She didn't understand why she was... Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed nervous, and she was nervous because she was afraid - she didn't understand what she was afraid of.

Ye Shiyi, Ye Kong, what's so scary? No matter how weird she is, she's just a little girl.

"Okay, you should also bring Qingyun back quickly. Don't let her embarrass herself outside. She's not even enough for Ye Shiyi to play with for an hour."

Just as she was about to hang up, she heard the secretary's embarrassed answer: "I'm afraid not. Miss Qingyun was caught by the other party's bodyguard."

Mrs. Qin frowned slightly. Before she could figure out what to do, she heard the secretary gasp, accompanied by the sound of clothes rubbing rapidly on leather, which sounded like someone was desperately shrinking back in a car.

She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"She," the secretary said with lingering fear, "she seemed to have seen me."

"What's so scary about this?"

"…It's so far away and there's glass blocking the view," the secretary murmured in a low voice, "It feels like a ghost."

Mrs. Qin fell silent.

A few seconds later, there was a knock on the guest room door.

She frowned and said "Come in". Just as she was about to hang up the phone, she found that the person who came in was the one she brought with her.

His face was full of panic and surprise, he didn't come in, but just stood at the door and said to her: "Madam, the young master is here!"

Mrs. Qin's eyes widened immediately: "What? Where is the person?"

"It's at the gate of the manor. He's already inside."

·

There were hurried footsteps in the manor.

The guests in the reception room also received the news, and whispers and discussions immediately filled the entire space.

"Really? Didn't he say he wouldn't come to Yuzhou and is still abroad?"

"Is it really Qin Wu? The master of the Qin family who inherited the title of shipping king at such a young age?"

"Last time, the Qin family said they would invite him, but in the end, he never showed up. It turns out that only the Wen family can invite people of the same level to a ginseng banquet."

"It was such a big event that even Uncle Wen Rong went to greet him personally..."

"That's nothing. Old Master Wen should be coming downstairs soon."

"Listen to the footsteps outside. Are we going to roll out a red carpet for him?"

……

Those who were laughing were the people of Yuzhou.

But the people in Nangang have a completely different style.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion at first, then began to exchange glances frantically. No one knew what kind of encrypted conversation they were having, until someone finally couldn't help but speak first.

"Is he really coming?"

"I don't know, this shouldn't happen!"

"Does Zheng know?"

"……I don't know either."

"Where's Abai?"

Shake his head.

"…Then why is he here? And why did he choose this time?"

"I don't understand, why don't you play?"

"Isn't Nangang enough for him to play with? He wants to mess with other people's places?"

……

Several people looked at each other, and finally fell silent.

A little girl from Nangang raised her hand and made the sign of the cross on her chest.
