The sun had just set, and the air was no longer hot.

Ninth Master wanted to drive out alone.

Xiao Guang was worried and wanted to go with them.

Ninth Master chuckled: "Even if both of you came at me together, you couldn't beat me, so you don't need to worry."

Xiao Guang pouted, looking aggrieved: "But you are a national treasure, and my mission is to protect you."

“If you don’t let me follow you, I’ll lose my job.”

“Don’t worry, your unemployment benefits are very high.” Ninth Master got into the car. “I promise I will come back safely.”

He had a premonition.

If Xiao Guang goes with him, there is a high chance of bloodshed.

Xiao Guang sniffed, still feeling a little wronged, but he also knew that although Ninth Master seemed to have a gentle temper, he was actually a man of his word, and there was no point in trying anymore.

So all he could do was wave his hand and say, "Ninth Master, please come back soon."

Ninth Master closed the car door and drove away.

An hour later.

The sky was just before it got dark.

Ninth Master arrived at a hilltop in a small park in the city, where he met Jiang Mengfei, who was wearing sunglasses.

When Jiang Mengfei saw him, she took off her sunglasses, stood up, and respectfully greeted him, "Ninth Master, you've arrived."

Ninth Master smiled and said, "Have a seat."

Jiang Mengfei waited for him to sit down before she dared to sit down herself, and said cautiously, "I know you are busy, and I don't want to take up your time."

"So I'll get straight to the point."

She took out a photo of Jiang Caicai.

"This is my junior sister, Jiang Caicai. We've lived together on a remote island since we were little..."

"After arriving in Haicheng, I learned by chance that the Shi family was searching for their granddaughter who had been switched at birth, and that this granddaughter had a small red mole under the corner of her eye..."

“I discovered that Cai Cai’s background is consistent with that of the Shi family’s missing granddaughter, and she also bears a resemblance to her parents. In addition, Cai Cai is so intelligent and has an extraordinary temperament. I’m convinced that she is very likely the person the Shi family is looking for…”

"This is Cai Cai's hair; it has a hair follicle. You can take it for DNA testing..."

"If my judgment is wrong, I apologize to you."

"If my judgment is correct, please take good care of Cai Cai in the future."

"Also, I did something wrong to Cai Cai before. If I can help her find her biological parents this time, consider it my apology..."

Her words were extremely sincere and heartfelt.

Most people would probably be moved by her.

Ninth Master just smiled and didn't take the hair sample from Jiang Caicai in the small transparent bag.

He simply stared at Jiang Mengfei and said in a gentle yet enigmatic voice, "Since you're so sincere, then please tell me, who gave you my phone number?"

"And who sent you to contact me?"

Jiang Mengfei was surprised.

After a long pause, he cautiously asked, "Is this... really that important?"

Ninth Master said leisurely, "Of course it's important."

"Knowing that Cai Cai is my grandniece, and that she knows my private cell phone number, and that you are such a suitable person to contact me, that's quite interesting."

"I would prefer that this person contact me directly, rather than through you."

"Otherwise, I would question his motives."

Jiang Mengfei felt a chill run down her spine.

This Ninth Master really hit the nail on the head.

At the very least, from the moment that "Fourth Young Master" met her, his intention was to sabotage Jiang Caicai's relationship with the eldest young master of the Lou family and to marry Jiang Caicai first, becoming the son-in-law of the Shi family...

Now that the Fourth Young Master is destined not to become the Shi family's son-in-law, why should he still help her and Jiang Caicai?

The fourth young master explained that he wanted to establish a relationship with "the second young mistress of the Sheng family".

However, the Fourth Young Master is clearly a big shot.

Is the identity of "the second young mistress of the Sheng family" really that important to him?

Would someone as important as the Fourth Young Master really lack connections as the "Second Young Mistress of the Sheng Family"?

Fourth Young Master...

What exactly do they want to do?

Jiang Mengfei became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Ninth Master observed her expression and said slowly, "You're not stupid."

"You should know that the person who asked you to contact me has impure motives."

"I don't like being schemed against."

"Therefore, confessing will be treated leniently."

"I...I..." Jiang Mengfei stammered, "I...I promised him I would keep it a secret."

"If I break my promise, he will not forgive me."

Ninth Master laughed: "Do you think I'll forgive you for plotting against me today?"

"Or do you think I'm easier to deal with than the person who ordered you around?"

"No, that's not it." Jiang Mengfei was covered in sweat. "I didn't mean you any harm."

"I contacted you with the intention of taking credit, and besides, I did help you find the missing Shi family granddaughter, didn't I?"

"Can this be considered a merit?"

"You're overthinking it," Ninth Master said calmly. "It was already on the night of Miss Ai's 19th birthday."

"The first time I met Cai Cai, I recognized her as my grandniece who had been missing for 18 years."

"It won't be long before the Shi family reveals her identity and holds a grand family reunion banquet for her."

"What you're telling me now is worthless."

"What?!" Jiang Mengfei was so shocked she almost jumped up. "Jiang Caicai has already been recognized as a member of the family?"

"impossible……"

"Absolutely impossible..."

"How could that be..."

Jiang Caicai has already gotten together with Lou Jia and has seen through her scheming.

There was no room for her to interfere in their relationship anymore.

Now Jiang Caicai has returned to the Shi family.
