"Really? You're such a good person." Her smile bloomed instantly, her eyes curving into crescents as she gave Young Master Fei a platitude.
A good person? What a load of crap! You're the good person, your whole family are good people! Didn't you hear what I just said? I'm going to smear his name! Why aren't you going after your own Young Master?
Young Master Fei was so angry he felt like he was going to die. It took him a while to calm down.
"Do you know what happened between me and your Young Master?" Young Master Fei frowned slightly, not entirely satisfied with the answer.
"Nope."
"You don't know? Then why did you apologize just now?"
"Because Young Master often does bad things."
Ye Chen, Ye Chen, why don't you ever try to be discreet when you do bad things?
"So I wouldn't?"
"Mhm, you're a good person. You already forgave Young Master just now, so I believe you won't do anything bad." A Jiu nodded vigorously, looking at him with unwavering eyes, her expression innocent as she replied.
"..."
What kind of logic is that!?
Both of them were stunned. However, the little maid was the first to react and said, "Young Master, shouldn't we focus on the main task first? We still don't know where A Jiu's Young Master is?"
Although she didn't care much about that so-called Young Master, she couldn't stand to see A Jiu sad. The little girl was quite cute.
Right, I shouldn't argue with A Jiu about these trivial things. Reminded by Jiang Anran, Young Master Fei stopped dwelling on these irrelevant matters.
"Okay, then we'll split up. A Jiu, you wait at home. If Ye Chen comes back and doesn't see you, he'll get worried. I'll go look for him, and if he's in any trouble, I'll help him."
Looking for him is impossible, he's locked up right now. But helping him through his difficulties is real, it's about progressing the plot.
"Okay!"
"Oh, right. Absolutely do not tell anyone that your Young Master is missing. Even if you do tell someone, don't mention that I'm helping you look for him."
This was to prevent misunderstandings. If a third party found out, it would inevitably lead to unnecessary speculation.
Like:
"Ah, that scoundrel young master seems quite decent, helping to look for someone."
"Didn't I hear Fei Yangyao had a bad reputation before? How come he seems so righteous?"
"Ye Chen beat him up before, and he's still helping? He's the real deal, I'm crying."
Discussions like these from the ignorant masses could lead to some undesirable consequences.
A Jiu didn't think that deeply and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"You're telling me this because I'm a good person, right? Because I won't harm you." Young Master Fei didn't expect the 'good person' card he just received to be so effective. "Think about it, doesn't your Young Master have many enemies? What if they find out your Young Master is gone and take the opportunity to do something bad?"
"Oh, right." A Jiu thought of the enemies who had troubled her Young Master before and felt it was indeed very possible.
"Exactly. In that case, you should go back first."
"But I don't have any money~" A Jiu said pitifully, ╥﹏╥. She had spent all her money buying breakfast last time.
"No money?"
Oh, right. A Jiu doesn't know how to use her phone and often makes mistakes when buying things, so Ye Chen usually gives her cash as needed. The money is usually locked in Ye Chen's room.
No wonder she said she hadn't eaten properly for a few days when she came earlier.
It's not Ye Chen, can't you give her a little more at once?
"Then, Jiang Anran, you go with A Jiu. Take this card. The PIN is six sixes. There's 100,000 in there, enough for you to eat well until Ye Chen returns."
"Oh, right. Eat well. I must see the money in the account decrease. If you haven't gained weight when you get back, I'll deal with you!" Remembering Jiang Anran's habits, he added.
Misfortune and fortune are intertwined. This way, I can send Jiang Anran away. At least for the few days Ye Chen is in the facility, I can finally have some peace!
Even though my persona might have already crumbled in front of her, that's superficial. I can't let her know that I'll be helping Ye Chen rush through the plot later.
"Ah? Me?" Although she was touched by her Young Master's words, she really didn't want to leave him.
"Yes, otherwise she'll be lonely by herself. I'll also have people keep an eye on... look for Ye Chen. I'll let you know as soon as I find him. Don't worry, it won't be long." Fearing she would refuse to leave, Young Master Fei generously promised a quick return.
"Okay..." Jiang Anran then took A Jiu to get something to eat.
Watching the two of them leave, Young Master Fei suddenly felt the world become quiet.
The world is so beautiful!
Unfortunately, after a moment of reflection, he had to get back to work.
First, he instructed Zhao Jinfei to have people keep an eye on Ye Chen and report any new developments immediately.
He had been focused on his own affairs all along.
He never expected Ye Chen to make such a huge mistake. Jiang Anran rarely checked her phone, A Jiu didn't have a phone, and he himself had been busy for the past two days, not paying attention to the local forums he rarely browsed.
He didn't find out that Ye Chen had been taken in until his subordinate reminded him!
Recalling the scene of the three of them staring at each other blankly just now, Young Master Fei felt that his information gathering efforts needed to be strengthened.
From now on, he had to keep a close eye on Ye Chen and prevent him from running around and causing trouble.
Next was Gu Xiyue's company.
He definitely couldn't use his own account to remind her, and he didn't have Ye Chen's account either.
He had no choice but to register a new email and send an email to Gu Xiyue in Ye Chen's name, warning her that the contract was risky.
Although it was an alt account, it should be able to work.
After all, as long as she opened the email and read its contents, she would immediately be alerted.
Next up was Chen Xiaoxiao's storyline.
He was thinking about how to proceed with Chen Xiaoxiao's storyline when a thought suddenly struck him.
If Young Master Fei remembered correctly, the storyline involving curing her illness was happening around this time.
Furthermore, this part of the storyline was time-sensitive and couldn't be delayed!
Chen Xiaoxiao's illness was constantly worsening, and if it wasn't dealt with in the next couple of days, she would completely lose her sight, at which point even Ye Chen would be powerless.
Therefore, Young Master Fei had no choice.
He had to step in himself.
That's right, Young Master Fei's plan was to take Ye Chen's place and cure Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes!
Fortunately, he had now mastered the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate.
Young Master Fei hadn't remembered what this was for before.
Now he finally understood; this was the medical technique Ye Chen used to cure Chen Xiaoxiao.
This meant that he now possessed the hard requirement to cure Chen Xiaoxiao!
As for the soft requirement, since Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't see, he didn't need to worry about anything else, only about the voice.
The voice?
He remembered that item: the voice changer.
He muttered inwardly, looking at the bow-shaped voice changer he had taken out, Young Master Fei didn't know where to complain about this.
Why was he being made to cosplay?
Isn't this an item from Detective Conan?
However, this voice changer was quite discreet; in the original story, it wasn't discovered even when used openly.
Although for Chen Xiaoxiao, discretion was an unnecessary advantage.
But if other customers came in, being discreet could save some trouble.
Then, combined with the fact that he knew their storyline.
Yeah, it should be fine.
With his mind settled, he drove alone to the Little Flower Shop.
