Chapter 1240: Neglected Matters
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After a night of lingering, when Shen Xiaoxiao woke up in a daze, she saw that her hand wound had already been changed. Yan Kuan was no longer in the room. Her body was very dry. She looked at her pajamas and smiled. This man had been as meticulous and gentle as ever all these years.
However, it was already past 11 o’clock. It was time for breakfast.
But for some reason, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that she had forgotten something. She opened the door and walked out. Just as she went downstairs, she saw two other women sitting on the sofa with drowsy eyes.
But they looked even more pathetic than Shen Xiaoxiao.
“Did you guys get cleaned up?”
“You say it like you didn’t get cleaned up.”
Shen Xiaoxiao pouted and didn’t finish her sentence. It was already autumn, and the home clothes she was wearing were already a little cold-resistant. Shen Xiaoxiao put on a coat and slowly walked over to sit on the sofa. After seeing that the two of them were intact, she asked,”Where are your husbands?”
“Who knows? They disappeared early in the morning. It seems like the three of them went out together. Is your hand okay?”
“It’s fine. It’s just a superficial wound. I only got a few stitches!”
“Oh, another day, I’ll find a skilled master to tattoo a tattoo on your scar. I’m sure you won’t be able to tell.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her wrist. It was not until this moment that she realized that the position of the wound on her wrist was really similar to that of her previous life!
Some things were really destined.
“Okay, we’ll get the same tattoo when the time comes. The three sisters will get the same tattoo. How cool would that be?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Madam, lunch is ready. Sir and the other two gentlemen have gone out so that you and the two ladies don’t have to wait for them to eat.”
“Where did they go?”
“This, Sir did not say. He just said that he would be back in the evening. In addition, the Young Master and the Misses will be back in the afternoon. They will be back for dinner.”
“Okay, got it.”
Hearing the servant’s report, although the three women were curious, they didn’t have the intention to get to the bottom of it. It was better to fill their stomachs.
“What are you doing in the afternoon? Why don’t we play mahjong? Isn’t Second Brother’s wife back? Let’s play a round in the afternoon.”
“I don’t have any objections. Look at Xiaoxiao’s hand. Can you play?”
“It’s my right hand that’s injured. It’s not like you don’t know that I’m left-handed. No problem.”
“Alright then. Let’s have a good game after dinner.”
The servant could not help but laugh when they left. Sir was right as expected. He said to the three women, “Sir has already gotten someone to prepare a mahjong table. He said that the ladies will definitely play mahjong after eating.”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. This Yan Kuan was really accurate.
Lunch was light. The three women were not satisfied, but one was injured and the other two were poisoned, so naturally, it could not be too spicy. They had just finished eating when they saw Dark 2’s wife, Bai Fei, walking over with a big belly.
“I heard that you guys were very lively last night?”
“Yeah, but it’s a good thing that you didn’t go. It’s a good thing that your son dotes on you and lets you sleep at home.”
Bai Fei was an extremely forthright person, and her temper was somewhat similar to Yan Shengmo’s. She was a police officer, but she was an expert in the field of physical evidence and traces. For such a professional, her temper and personality were somewhat unique. Anyone who did not have a temper with their own personality would definitely not be coy. On the other hand, Shen Xiaoxiao and the others were all people with extremely forthright temperaments, so they got along very well with each other as women.
“Sigh, this kid is too tiring. I have no choice. Our Chief has come to me for help, so I can’t not help him. But from now on, I’m going to start my baby-raising life. If I don’t settle down a little more, Dark 2 will cause a ruckus.”
“Let’s go, it’s time to start. Let’s have fun.”
“Hey, Bai Fei, did you come across any interesting cases this time? Otherwise, why would they send you out?”
Lou Yin was the most curious about these things. They were not involved in a murder case in Black Tornado.
“You don’t say. There really is a murder case in a secret room. However, that is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this murder case has been going on for three days. When I went to the crime scene to collect evidence again, I actually found a child. She was the daughter of the deceased. She was only five years old. She had been hiding in the wardrobe since the day of the murder and had witnessed all the incidents with her own eyes.”
“Ah? So strange?”
“What? Bai Fei, what did you say? That child was hiding in the wardrobe?”
Shen Xiaoxiao stood up from her seat in surprise. The few of them were stunned by her actions. What was going on? Was there something wrong?
“What’s wrong?”
“Yueyan, Lou Yin, I know we have overlooked something.”
“What?”
They stopped playing cards and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao. Shen Xiaoxiao frowned and said,”Ye Xie, we forgot about that kid. He must have been in the hall when I made my move. If he wanted to kill De Cruz and Black Peony, he wouldn’t have left so easily. So, he must have been there. I actually forgot about that.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her wrist. When Huang Yueyan and Lou Yin followed her movements and looked over, everyone frowned. If Ye Xie was there, then he must have seen Xiaoxiao using her blood to detoxify them. Then, it was needless to say what this kid would do. This was a huge piece of evidence.
As for that kid who was filming, Yan Kuan had already said that he would be killed immediately. However, she really didn’t remember about Ye Xie last night.
“Dark 4, bring Ye Xie back.”
Shen Xiaoxiao immediately walked to the door and gave an order to Dark 4 who just happened to enter.
However, Dark 4 was stunned and immediately said,”Your subordinate just happened to come to report this matter. Before Master left, he also gave an order to find Ye Xie. However, that brat thought that we were going to kill him and led his subordinates to fight with us. Together with his men, they fell off the cliff. The bottom is the sea. We have already sent frogmen to look for him.”
“What?”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know whether she should be happy or upset after hearing this answer. However, no matter what, if that kid died, no one would know the secret. However, if he did not die, they had to find the person.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not know that Ye Xie had already sunk to the bottom of the sea, and there was someone standing beside him. In between, he forced Ye Xie’s soul out of his body. Of course, if Ye Xie had not experienced a life-and-death catastrophe… It would not have been so easy to force out this soul.
Zhai Yue watched Ye Xie’s soul float out. He took out a white bead from his hand and sucked his soul into it. He casually threw it to the bottom of the sea, and with a leap, his soul and Ye Xie became one. His body, which was still sinking, slowly rose from the water. Zhai Yue, who was enduring the merging of his body and soul, heard a voice before he fainted:
“A child is drowning…”
