When the elites of the Sheng family were scheming against Ninth Master.

Ninth Master has arrived.

I'm here to see Sheng Ai again.

No matter the occasion, he was always so gentle and polite.

"Miss Sheng, the lotus flowers I gave you some time ago should be about to bloom for the second time."

“I brought some special fertilizer to fertilize the lotus flowers.”

"Would it be convenient for me to go and take a look?"

Having received the most orthodox and strict etiquette since childhood, I naturally reciprocate with the same respect.

"Of course, Mr. Shi, please follow me."

She walked ahead, leading Ninth Master upstairs.

The Sheng family members did not greet Ninth Master, but simply watched the two figures from behind with complicated feelings.

Why does Ninth Master treat Sheng Ai, who seems abnormal, differently?

Is Ninth Master truly compatible with Sheng Ai?

Or is there another motive?

Sheng Jiagui then secretly gave Hang Wei a wink.

Hang Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly...

Sheng Ai led Ninth Master into her room and stood by the window: "The lotus flower you gave me is very beautiful."

"I love so much."

The window is half open.

A gentle breeze is blowing.

Two lotus buds, one red and one blue, stand gracefully, seemingly ready to bloom at any moment.

Although it is not yet open, the air is already filled with fragrance.

It seems to exist but not exist.

Fresh and pleasant.

Ninth Master walked to the window, took out a food bag from his pocket, and sprinkled the still damp fertilizer from the bag into the water.

If someone were to look closely at those dark reddish-brown fertilizers...

You'll definitely be able to smell the faint scent of blood on it.

You can even see human blood in the fertilizer.

That's Ninth Master's blood...

He was actually feeding this lotus flower with his own blood...

The fertilizer sank quickly after it fell into the water.

It only spreads a faint red color in the water.

The faint red color quickly dissolved and merged into the water, becoming completely invisible.

The red and blue lotus buds seemed to be even more vibrant in color, and their fragrance had become stronger.

A gentle breeze blows by.

A faint lotus fragrance filled the room.

Sheng Ai's eyes, gazing at the lotus flower, regained a faint luster; upon closer inspection, they even seemed to possess a hint of human vitality...

But that spark of life quickly vanished.

Her gaze remained as dark as an abyss...

“Miss Ai has taken very good care of this lotus.” Ninth Master smiled. “It is its good fortune to be your flower.”

Sheng Ai said, "My family's greenhouse also has many flowers. Would you like to take a look, Mr. Shi?"

Ninth Master: "Okay."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

Just as he stepped out of the room.

Hang Wei happened to be carrying in some snacks and tea when she bumped right into him.

The tea spilled.

It soaked Ninth Master's clothes.

Hang Wei quickly picked up a towel from the tray and began wiping Ninth Master's clothes.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled some on you..."

The moment that hand touched Ninth Master.

She used her mind.

[Put him into your spatial storage...]

However, the idea had barely formed before it took effect.

Then I heard two "woof woof" sounds.

A husky pounced and bumped right into Hang Wei's arm.

"Clang..."

Hang Wei's arm was knocked away, preventing her from touching Ninth Master again.

The tray in her hand also fell to the ground.

The splashed tea soaked her all over.

The two plates of pastries also fell on her feet, staining her skirt and shoes...

Hang Wei watched this scene in disbelief.

A perfectly good plan, ruined just like that?

She glared angrily at the stupid husky, wishing she could kick it.

The husky, who had been grinning foolishly with its tongue lolling out, suddenly noticed Sheng Ai there. Its eyes widened in fright, it whimpered twice, tucked its tail between its legs, and turned to run away…

She tripped and fell twice while running downstairs; it was quite pitiful.

Seeing that her first attempt had failed, Hang Wei wanted to continue.

But Ninth Master had already said "It's okay" and walked several steps away.

Hang Wei wanted to chase after her.

But Sheng Ai had already followed, sandwiched between her and Ninth Master.

She found it inconvenient to force her way through, and given her disheveled appearance, she had no choice but to give up.

Ninth Master glanced at Hang Wei behind him out of the corner of his eye and asked casually, "Miss Sheng, I've been jogging with you these past few days, but I haven't seen your third brother."

Is he sick or injured?

Ninth Master also has the habit of jogging in the morning.

I've been running into the Sheng family a lot lately while jogging in the mornings.

So, Ninth Master started running with Sheng Ai every morning, and they became running buddies.

"My third brother..."

Sheng Ai looked slightly confused. "The police said he's suspected of committing a crime and they want to arrest him."

"But he's disappeared; we can't find him anywhere."

"But I always feel like he's at home."

"I've been looking for it every day, but I still can't find it..."

"I'm so troubled..."

"The whole family, not one can be missing..."

Ninth Master stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly gently grasped her cold hands and said sincerely, "Miss Ai, you love your family so much, you will definitely find your third brother."

"I guarantee you'll find her soon."

Sheng Ai gave a smile that seemed to have a tiny bit of "human touch": "Thank you."

Hang Wei, who was only a few meters away from them, heard their conversation and her face turned slightly pale.

Ninth Master's words... were just casual remarks.

Is there another deeper meaning?
