Chapter 119 Uncle, You Have to Keep It a Secret for Me

The scene at that time could be said to be very quiet.

Sometimes Jian Yue was really crazy about this world, but looking at the chef beside him, he was a little bit unbelievable. After all, to be honest, this kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Oh shit!

Chef, you are really bold and daring!

But where did this stinky dog ​​shit come from? Could it be on a ship?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a faint dog barking not far away. Jian Yue looked sideways and saw a large black dog running towards him from a distance, wagging its tail and running fast with agile steps.

The captain said, "Why are you still running around like that? Didn't I let you deal with it a long time ago?"

The chef said quickly, "Captain, isn't it true that food is always lost in the kitchen? For the food safety of the people on our ship, I keep Xiao Hei for the safety of everyone on our ship. What do you think will happen if something happens to the food?"

The captain sneered and said, "Safe? I think it's hard to prevent a thief from stealing something from the owner's house. Don't think I forgot about it!"

The chef said quickly: "I have locked that guy in the cabin. Captain, don't worry, this will never happen again!"

The captain seemed satisfied with this. The bearded captain looked at Jian Yue, who was staring at the black dog meaningfully. He felt that Jian Yue looked at him strangely. He remembered that the chef seemed to want to say something to him, so the captain looked at the chef and said, "By the way, you were talking to him just now. Did you want to tell me something?"

The chef was just about to tell the captain that Jian Yue wanted to inquire about the stolen items.

In the end, he hasn't spoken yet.

Jian Yue said slowly: "Captain, do you eat the meals that the chef personally prepares for you every day?"

The captain was puzzled and asked, "Why, you want to try it too? Let me tell you, our chef is an excellent cook. The dishes he makes are so fresh and delicious. People often praise them highly after eating them. Most people don't have the chance to taste them!"

Jian Yue fell silent when he saw the captain's smug look.

The captain was still feeling proud. He looked at the chef and asked, "By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?"

Chef: “…”

The black dog was still barking excitedly at the two people. The head chef and Jian Yue looked at each other. He reached out and wiped the sweat off his head with a paper, looking away and said, "Ha, I forgot, this is Mr. Ji's new housekeeper. I'm just adjusting the meals!"

The captain then said, "It turns out to be the butler!"

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Yes, Captain, do you want to listen together?"

"No need." The captain waved his hand generously and said, "Then you two can have a good chat!"

He walked away while talking.

As soon as the captain left, the chef looked at Jian Yue with resentment. The little black dog was still circling around the two of them. Jian Yue said, "It seems that one of the pages in the book that the young master lost was indeed from your subordinate, chef. As long as you tell me who he is and where he is, I will never embarrass you."

The chef wanted to be tough at first: "This is our own business. Why should I tell you? Even if you have leverage over me, so what? You are just a new steward. Do you think the captain will trust you or me?"

Still a tough one.

Most people might get anxious at this time, but Jian Yue wasn't.

Jian Yue just smiled lightly and said, "You and the captain have had a long-standing friendship. I don't know whether he believes me or not, but if I remember correctly, the owner of this yacht is named Ji. As for whether he believes me or not, what do you think?"

He smiled without saying anything, just looking at the captain. He wore glasses on his handsome fair face, and his pair of dark eyes were clear. Although he looked harmless, he gave people the feeling that one should not provoke him easily.

The chef realized it later and was a little scared. He quickly said, "I have never done anything to Mr. Ji's food. Mr. Ji's food is all prepared in a separate small kitchen. I swear to God, don't tell Mr. Ji!"

Jian Yue said: "I am willing to believe you, but your performance makes it difficult for me to believe your sincerity, Chef..."

He looked very embarrassed.

The chef choked up and learned it all by himself. He pulled Jian Yue with one hand and walked to a slightly secluded place in the corridor. Then he said, "Brother, let me tell you the truth. It's not that I don't want to tell you about this. It's because this happened several years ago, and the little chef who stole the book went crazy a few days after taking the book."

Jian Yue pointed it out directly: "Where is he now, in the hospital?"

His heart sank. If this was the case, wouldn't it be very difficult to find the missing page of the book?

The chef said, "I thought about sending him to the hospital, but he refused to get off the ship. He got scared as hell when the thought of getting off the ship came up. He wanted to die like crazy. This little cook was my apprentice back then. He lived with his mother. His mother was my aunt, who died in an accident on the ship. This child was very pitiful since he was young, so I locked him up in the basement. But he is not conscious now, and you won't be able to get anything out of him if you ask him."

Jian Yue frowned. He didn't expect the story behind this matter to be so complicated.

"No matter what, I have to go and take a look." Jian Yue said, "This book is a unique copy. I have checked. If the missing page cannot be found, it will never be restored. The young master likes this book very much. No matter what, I have to give it a try."

The chef looked very strange and asked, "Aren't you the boyfriend of Mr. Ji?"

Why are you so concerned about your uncle's affairs?

He had a look on his face as if he had eaten something big.

Jian Yue said righteously: "Now he is in danger of death, and it is my uncle who is taking care of me, so I naturally have to show my filial piety to him on his behalf!"

Chef: “…”

Your circle of wealthy families is really messy!!

Jian Yue asked the head chef for the location of the basement. Before leaving, they saw the other side of this floor. There were also chefs coming in and out, but there was a wire mesh door in the middle of the corridor and they couldn't get through.

The chef said, "That's the director's small kitchen. It's not ours."

Jian Yue suddenly thought that the strange cake, the cake with the seeds on it, was made in the director's own small kitchen. Now that the confidentiality of this small kitchen is so strict, it would naturally be more difficult for him to investigate.

"Are they responsible for the meals for the crew members?" Jian Yue asked.

The chef nodded and said, "Yes, you guys are going to shoot a movie, right? They cook meals for the crew members individually!"

Jian Yue felt a little relieved. A few days after the filming started, he joined the crew and would naturally have the opportunity to come and check. Now he still had to find the torn pages of the book first. The most important thing was to find out what the seed was.

The chef was afraid that Jian Yue would do something to his relative, so he took Jian Yue away.

Jian Yue was very familiar with the bottom floor of the cruise ship. When he first entered this copy, he was almost thrown into the sea here. How could he not remember it vividly?

Two people were walking.

A tightly closed and locked door not far away suddenly made a muffled sound.

In the quiet afternoon, the sudden muffled sound was particularly clear, like the sound of something falling to the ground, making people feel a chill down their spine.

Jian Yue looked back at the red door behind him and asked, "Is there anyone in here?"

The chef said, "This floor is all warehouses. It's impossible to live here. It's too humid. The noise you heard might be caused by rats."

Jian Yue frowned. Although this explanation was feasible, he still felt something was wrong, especially since he had been on the ship for so many days and he came to look for Wang Wenwen but still hadn't found her.

Just thinking about it.

When he turned around, he saw the sinister face of the chef beside him. The fat on his face was crowded together because of his smile. He looked at him and said slowly: "Little brother, here, being too curious can kill you."

There was total silence inside the red door, and no more sound was heard.

The waves not far away hit the hull, again and again, as if something was hitting the boat and the shore.

Jian Yue smiled and said, "I only know that if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

The chef remembered that he had fed the captain stinky dog ​​shit, and withdrew his gaze with a guilty conscience. He said, "Let's go, hurry up, I have something else to do later!"

The two of them quickly arrived at a door at the end of the corridor.

This is a small door.

The chef took out a lock and the door lock made a turning sound. After a while, the old iron door was opened. The chef said, "You go in. I'll wait outside."

Jian Yue nodded.

He pushed open the door and walked in. He could only smell a very dull and strange smell in the whole small room. There was a small lamp in the room. In the corner not far away, there was a man squatting. He was wearing a blue and white shirt and sitting on the edge of the bed. He had very long hair and was hunched over. There was a small window outside the wall, but it still couldn't hide the dullness of the room.

Jian Yue said: "Can you hear me?"

The person sitting on the bed did not respond.

The whole room was dull and silent, and filled with monsters. Ordinary people probably wouldn't even want to step in, let alone get close.

Jian Yue took a few steps forward and said, "I came to you to ask you something. Do you still remember the book 'Illustrated Guide to Rare Plants in the World'?"

The man who had been silent before showed an excited reaction after hearing the name of the book. He raised his head quickly with some panic. His face was pale and thin, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot. He kept shrinking into the corner: "What illustrated book? I don't know what illustrated book it is. It's not me who took it. I don't know anything!!"

Jian Yue frowned.

This is a fear that comes from the heart, from the inside out, and it is not acted. His subconscious reaction can expose a person's true condition. He is really scared.

If you are afraid, why steal?

This seems contradictory.

The audience in the live broadcast room are already a little excited:

"This crew!"

"Wow, he's not dead yet."

"The host found him so quickly, he's not dead yet."

"Because Butler Wang investigated this line too quickly, they didn't have time to silence the witnesses."

The man shivering in the corner seemed to have fallen into extreme fear. Jian Yue's eyes darkened. He did not rush to refute him, but asked: "Since it was not you who took it, then who did?"

The man huddled in the corner suddenly stopped, covered his face, and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything! I didn't take it, I don't know anything!"

Jian Yue narrowed his eyes. Although this man spoke incoherently, his mind was actually clear. However, he was obviously unwilling to cooperate, so it would be difficult to pry something useful out of him.

Most people would probably keep asking questions when they get here.

Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then he took a few steps forward and said, "Since you don't know, I won't make it difficult for you, but can you help me see if you recognize this thing?"

The man moved his hand away in confusion, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a lambskin-covered "Illustrated Book of Rare Plants of the World" placed in front of him!

"ah!!"

A somewhat excited voice sounded.

The man said excitedly: "Take it away! Take it away! Take it away quickly! Take this thing away quickly, I'll give it to you! Why are you still pestering me! Let me go! I don't want a mother anymore!"

Jian Yue's eyes darkened, and he asked, "Who did you give it to?"

The man just kept waving his arms. Before Jian Yue could continue speaking, the chef came in. He heard the voice from inside and stood at the door and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Jian Yue could only take a step back.

When the chef saw what was going on inside, he quickly said, "Brother, I told you he was crazy, why didn't you believe me? What can you expect from interrogating a madman now?"

Jian Yue turned around and glanced at the head chef. His sharp and clear eyes made the head chef subconsciously want to look away.

The man in the corner was still very excited.

After Jian Yue retracted his gaze, he looked at him and turned to leave, but suddenly took out a band-aid from his pocket. He gently stretched out his hand to the person, and stopped in mid-air waiting for the person in front of him to calm down.

After the excited man calmed down slowly, he put his hand on Jian Yue's hand. His hands were dark, rough, and thin due to years of working at sea, forming a sharp contrast with Jian Yue's fair, slender, and beautiful hands.

The thin, crazy man was shaking all over.

Jian Yue held his hand without hesitation. He tore off the band-aid and put it on the back of his hand. There was blood oozing out of the wound where he hit the wall when he was swinging excitedly. He said, "It hurts, I'm sorry."

The trembling man suddenly froze.

Jian Yue stood up and walked outside, a ray of light coming through the window outside fell on his shoulders.

Behind him.

The man leaning against the wall suddenly murmured, "I gave it to mom, I gave it to mom, green...seeds, I gave it to mom..."

It's not just Jian Yue.

The audience in the live broadcast room were the first to be shocked:

“Oh my god!!”

"He did?!"

"No one has ever gotten anything out of him. Those who found him earlier thought he was already crazy, and those who found him later thought he was already dead!!"

"We used threats and bribes to make him a lunatic before."

"This guy can actually give clues."

"I thought of many ways and used all kinds of cards, and now you tell me that giving him a band-aid will do?!"

Jian Yue turned around suddenly to look at him, but the man leaning against the wall had already covered his face and curled up with his back hunched. Jian Yue didn't hear the name of the seed clearly and wanted to ask more.

The chef said, "Butler Wang, we should leave now. This child cannot be provoked!"

Jian Yue frowned, not knowing if it was his illusion. The chef kept interrupting him intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

There was a brief silence in the room.

If he really intended to conceal it, I would be doomed to not be able to get anything out of him with him standing here. It would be better to come back later. Anyway, this kind of lock is not a problem for him. The most important thing is that he is a little concerned about the red door, so he has to find a chance to take a look.

When turning around again.

Jian Yue already had a smile on his face: "Let's go then."

The two people went out one after the other.

With his back to him, the chef looked at the thin man in the room with a bit of viciousness on his face. After Jian Yue came out, he said cheerfully, "Brother, you have also seen that my little apprentice is mentally unstable now. I think since the book master has given up, you should give up."

Jian Yue said: "It seems that you are still very concerned about this little disciple. I want to know where his mother is now?"

The chef walked away and said, "Oh, my aunt's accident happened so suddenly that she was buried a few days later. Now I'm afraid her body can't be found. This is a common thing for people like us who make a living outside!"

Can't find it.

Jian Yue's thoughts were a little scattered. The man just now said that he gave it to his mother.

The chef sighed and said, "People like us who work at sea often encounter storms and the like. If they get sick or have an accident, their lives are worthless. That child is also a miserable person. He was a little traumatized after his mother passed away. It's also my fault that I didn't take good care of him, so I let him steal Mr. Ji's things and commit such a mistake..."

He talked on and on.

Between the lines.

It's just that the little disciple is talking nonsense. His mother is already dead, how could he give it to his mother? He is just crazy.

Jian Yue asked: "Does he have a deep relationship with his mother?"

"Yes, this child has a very hard life. His father died early, and he depended on his mother for life. He didn't go to school for a few years before he came to the ship to make a living." The chef said: "The death of his mother was a big blow to him, and his mental state is not good."

Jian Yue caught the key words and said, "This is strange. He has only been to school for a few years, so why would he want to go to the library and steal books?"

The words fell.

The chef paused.

Jian Yue raised an eyebrow, looked at him sideways, and waited patiently for his answer, but was not in a hurry.

The chef smiled awkwardly and said, "Since he is mentally ill, how can we know what he is talking about?"

Eyes met.

The chef stared at Jian Yue intently, his hands at his sides curled up nervously. It was getting a little dark now, and the air around him was cool and cold with the sea breeze.

Jian Yue nodded and said, "It seems to be the case."

The chef then smiled and said, "Yes, that's right."

Both of them turned their faces away, each with their own ulterior motives.

After separating from the second floor, Jian Yue slowly returned to the top floor. Before coming back, he took a shower and changed his clothes. He went to the kitchen and the bottom of the boat, and his body was always stained with some bad smells. He remembered that Xiaoyu had mysophobia and would develop a good habit of taking a bath.

When we returned to the cabin, it was time for dinner.

Jian Yue knocked on the door.

A voice came from inside: "Come in."

Jian Yue went in and said, "Master, it's time to have dinner. The kitchen staff has brought the food here, and I asked someone to put it on the table outside."

Ji Huaiyu was originally dealing with something, but he had almost finished it, so he put down his computer and said, "Okay."

The tall and handsome man stood up and was more than a head taller than Jane. He walked outside. The whole room was clean and bright. The dining table outside was filled with a variety of delicacies, most of which were steaming hot dishes, some of which had not been available before.

Ji Huaiyu said: "Why is it different from the previous menu?"

Jian Yue stood by and said, "I asked the kitchen to adjust it. Young Master, you usually work too late and too tired. For example, this angelica and red dates chicken soup is a soup that replenishes the spirit after staying up late. It tastes very good. I'll serve you a bowl to try."

He went over to scoop the soup and rolled up his sleeves. His long, fair arms were as white as lotus roots. When he got closer, there was a sweet and subtle fragrance on his body. He must have just taken a shower. His hair was a little wet, and a few strands of hair hung down by his ears, outlining his warm neck and profile.

Ji Huaiyu asked: "Did you take a shower?"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to the kitchen downstairs. By the way, I asked about the book. When I was borrowing it yesterday, I found that a few pages of the book had been torn off. I wanted to see if I could find it back. After all, it's your collection, so it must be something you like. It would definitely be better if I could find it back."

While speaking.

Jian Yue put the soup next to him, his eyes shining, and he smiled and said, "Try it and see if it tastes good!"

Ji Huaiyu doesn't like soup, and there is no soup in his menu all year round. Under normal circumstances, his assistants would not dare to serve it to him because no one dared to go against his preferences.

But the person in front of him was so brave that he didn't even say anything nice. He just kept looking at him with a smile, his eyes fully reflecting his shadow.

Ji Huaiyu said: "I don't usually drink soup."

Jian Yue was stunned. What a joke! He flattered the horse! He failed miserably on his first day on the job! He lowered his eyes in disappointment: "Huh?"

Seeing that his head was about to droop, Ji Huaiyu slowly picked up the soup spoon, took a sip and said, "Not bad."

Jian Yue suddenly raised his head again, his eyebrows curved with joy, and he said, "Right, right?"

The highlight moment for workers!

He said he was a professional butler!

Ji Huaiyu saw that he was happy again, as if he had regained his energy. He was a little dazed. He just drank a sip of soup, but he was... so happy?

"Then drink more." Jian Yue said happily, "It's good for your health."

It turns out that what makes me happy is not drinking the soup, but the fact that it is good for my body. That’s why I feel this way.

Ji Huaiyu suddenly remembered that his nephew seemed to have said that Jian Yue was kidnapped before because he went to his room on the top floor to seduce him. When he heard it at that time, he didn't take it seriously.

But now that I think about it carefully...

Could it be true?

Butler Wang likes me?

But he is my nephew's partner, there is no way they can be together!

Ji Huaiyu was afraid that he had misunderstood. As an elder, he still had the obligation to guide the younger generation. He put down the spoon in his hand and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so meticulous about all this. After all, when Huaisheng comes back, let him know that it's not good for you."

He thought that what he said was very obvious and Jian Yue should understand it.

result.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Yue said without hesitation: "Then you have to keep it a secret for me, uncle. Let's just not let him know!"
