pretender

?Jin Xiao made sure he heard correctly, stood up abruptly, stared at Yoshiko Nanada's face without speaking.Yoshiko Nanada didn't speak either.The room fell silent as if no one was there.

"You are the master?"

After a long time, Jin Xiao broke the silence - Shimotake Yamamoto would never give her orders directly, and every action she took was directed by a person code-named "Master".

"Yes." Nantian Yoshiko's smile did not change at all, it was still gentle and harmless.As if the answer was so common, there was nothing to be surprised about.

Jin Xiao couldn't hide the surprise on his face.According to the plan, she will attack Nantian Yoshiko when Mingcheng is with Nantian Yoshiko.The first time she gave up because of the drunk; the second time, Yoshiko Nanada was attacked and seriously injured before she could act.Immediately afterwards, she received a call from Minglou, asking her to come to Ming's house to take care of Nantian Fangzi.Jin Xiao thought it was a coincidence, but it turned out that Yoshiko Nantian was manipulating everything.

"Officer Nantian, I'm sorry." Jin Xiao stood up straight and apologized to Yoshiko Nanada in Japanese for his previous offense.

"There is a saying in China that those who don't know are not guilty, and I won't blame you." Yoshiko Minami showed great generosity.

Jin Xiaoban lowered his head and said gratefully, "Thank you, Chief Nantian."

Yoshiko Minami motioned for Jin Xiao to sit down.Jin Xiaoduan sat upright, put his hands on his legs with the palms down, and listened carefully to what Yoshiko Minami said next.

"Teacher Jin, relax. This is at Ming's house. We can't let Minglou and Mingcheng notice anything, otherwise we will be in trouble." Seeing Jin Xiao's serious look, Nantian Yoshiko reminded.

"Yes." Jin Xiao changed his posture, but after all, it was not as casual as before he didn't know it.

Nantian Yoshiko stopped talking about other things, and asked what she cared most about: "You have been close to the Ming family for a while, tell me about the situation here."

"Yes." Jin Xiao said everything he had learned: "A Xiang, the only servant of the Ming family, went back to the countryside. Originally, she was going to come back on New Year's Eve, so I arranged for someone to take her to another place. Right now, there are only Minglou and Mingcheng in the Ming family. They will lock their study rooms when they go to work during the day. I have tried to unlock them, but they all failed. Therefore, we only have the opportunity to go in and check when they are at home."

"Impossible." Yoshiko Minami felt that Jin Xiao's argument was totally untenable.

Jin Xiao insisted: "Mr. Nantian, they obviously have doubts about me, and they asked me to take care of you. I think they want to prevent me from doing anything to you, and more importantly, they have enough confidence that they will not I will find something that is not good for them. It will even create a false impression to deceive me and make us believe in their loyalty."

Yoshiko Nantian understands that the most dangerous is the safest truth. "Isn't it because we entered the Ming mansion and couldn't do anything to them?"

Jin Xiao shook his head: "My analysis just now is not necessarily the whole truth. On the contrary, if they expect us to think that way and do something deliberately, we may not even find the evidence right in front of us."

Yoshiko Nantian was injured, and Jin Xiao's remarks made a lot of twists and turns, making her dizzy.She scolded coldly: "You Chinese are too cunning!"

Jin Xiao remained indifferent, but instead comforted Nantian Fangzi: "No cunning prey can escape the pursuit of a good hunter. Don't worry, Chief Nantian, I will definitely find out whether they are loyal or not."

Jin Xiao's guarantee reassured Nantian Yoshiko: "The Ming family is kind to you, why do you deal with the Ming family?"

"Didn't Your Excellency Yamamoto tell you that my experiences related to the Ming family were fabricated?" Jin Xiao was surprised that Yoshiko Nantian would ask this question.

After hearing Jin Xiao's words, Nantian Fangzi was also very surprised: "It's all fake?"

Jin Xiao nodded: "It's all fake."

Yoshiko Minami snorted, "Your Excellency Yamamoto is also very cunning."

Jin Xiao corrected, "It's smart."

The two looked at each other and smiled.Jin Xiao stood up and bowed to Yoshiko Nantian: "Miss Nantian, Mr. Ming is coming back from get off work, I should cook."

"Okay, Teacher Jin, thank you for chatting with me." Nantian Yoshiko also resumed the conversation with Jin Xiao in Chinese.

"You're welcome."

Jin Xiao brought the last dish to the table, just as Minglou and Mingcheng came home.

"It's better to come early than coincidentally, you two, wash your hands and eat." Jin Xiao greeted obediently.

"Is Miss Nantian better?" Mingcheng looked upstairs and asked.

Jin Xiao lowered his face and complained dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Mingcheng, I helped you take care of the patients, and I cooked such a table of dishes for you, you should at least ask me a question, right?"

Mingcheng was at a loss for words, and looked at Minglou, but Minglou said that he was helpless, and Mingcheng winked at him several times to no avail.In the end, Jin Xiao couldn't stand it anymore.

"She talked to me all afternoon, and she went to sleep after eating something. If you go to see her, move gently and don't disturb her."

After Jin Xiao finished speaking, he went into the kitchen.

"Why are you staring blankly, and you want Teacher Jin to bring you food?"

Jin Xiao was serving food in the kitchen, and raised the corners of his mouth when he heard Minglou's voice outside.Hearing Mingcheng's footsteps coming in, she hurriedly suppressed her smile, and walked past him expressionlessly carrying two bowls of rice.

Mingcheng had no choice but to swallow what he was about to say, and took out the meal by himself.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little depressing.Minglou coughed and said, "Mr. Jin has worked hard, eat more."

"Thank you, Mr. Ming." Jin Xiao responded politely.Turning to look at Mingcheng, he said, "You have a lot more conscience than some people."

Mingcheng wanted to speak, but Minglou stopped him with his eyes.

"Ah Cheng is not sensible, Mr. Jin, don't be as knowledgeable as him." Minglou continued to be a peacemaker.

Jin Xiao swallowed the food in his mouth, and smiled at Minglou: "Of course I won't be as knowledgeable as him, because I didn't do this for him. Mr. Ming won't forget our agreement, right?"

Minglou solemnly promised: "Absolutely not."

"What kind of agreement is it?" Mingcheng couldn't help being curious.

"Let's eat your meal." Ming Lou and Jin Xiao said in unison.

Mingcheng was taken aback for a moment, then said depressedly: "Okay, I'll eat."

When Jin Xiao saw this, the sullenness in his heart was swept away, and the food in his mouth became delicious.

After dinner, Minglou went to the study, Mingcheng was in charge of washing the dishes, Jin Xiao stood by the kitchen door and watched Mingcheng wash the dishes.

"You care so much about Nantian Yoshiko, do you like her?" Jin Xiao asked suddenly.

Mingcheng replied without thinking, "No."

Mingcheng originally thought that Jin Xiao would ask, but she just said, "Then I'm relieved", and turned to go to the living room.

Mingcheng sighed softly.
