Shi Jing grew up in a wealthy family, and all his friends were also young masters and ladies from privileged backgrounds. Logically speaking, people born into such families should never have anything to do with inferiority or timidity in their lives.

But Zhu Jinchao is an exception. Not only did she get involved, she became completely addicted, and she even went out to work because she was short of money recently.

This is not how a rich heiress should behave.

The more Shi Jing thought about it, the more something felt wrong, and the more disconnected he felt it was.

"Chaochao, you..."

"hiss--"

He had originally intended to ask Zhu Jinzhao why she lacked confidence, but the moment the words left his mouth, the pendant of the necklace hanging in front of his chest unexpectedly burned him. At the same time, two strands of hair at his temples quickly turned white, though no one noticed.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jinzhao asked, puzzled, looking at Shi Jing with a confused expression.

The pain came on quickly and went away just as fast; Shi Jing only took a few seconds to compose herself.

"It's nothing." He smiled and shook his head, unconsciously changing the subject that had been left unresolved.

"Chaochao, you are really smart, so never lack confidence, okay?"

"You know, right..." Zhu Jinzhao was a little uneasy.

Shi Jing gave her shoulder a light tap: "Don't say 'I know,' say 'I know'! Build your confidence and be the smartest person in the entire production team!"

“…Okay!” Zhu Jinzhao took a deep breath, forcing himself to muster his confidence as Shi Jing had instructed. “I understand!”

Shi Jing smiled with satisfaction: "Good boy."

[What are you eating for? Open your mouth wide and stare! The main characters are practically giving us royal food; any CP fan who doesn't stare like a giant is a fake fan!]

[Oh my god... Shi Jing is so doting! He must love Jin Zhao to death!]

[Dude, you have the face of a playboy but you're going to act all innocent and pure? You're just... a hot, innocent young master!]

"Oh, oh, oh, so obedient... Young Master Shi, are you still alive?"

Wow, when Young Master Shi noticed Jinzhao's low self-esteem, his first reaction wasn't to feel sorry for her, but to encourage her and guide her to become a confident person! Such a rational and pure-hearted man is truly wonderful. If I met one, I'd even slap myself after an argument with him!

Shi Jing: "We've searched all the rooms on the third floor. Now, shall we look for the common areas in the hallway?"

Zhu Jinzhao shook his head: "Don't rush."

Then he turned to Xiao Li and asked, "Assistant Xiao Li, can you see the doors of these suites from the fourth floor?"

Xiao Li thought for a moment and said, "I can only see the corridor, not the doorway."

“Ah…” Zhu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow, “Then we’ll have to look for the room again.”

"Why?" Xiao Li didn't understand.

Shi Jing explained, "Because you can't see the doorway from the fourth floor, you might not have noticed if someone might sneak into the room from the outside while we were upstairs."

As he spoke, Shi Jing briefly outlined the tasks for the three of them: "Same as always, you catch people in the corridor, and Chao Chao and I go into the room."

Xiao Li nodded: "Okay."

I've already searched for both suites, so searching again will be much faster.

Six minutes later, Shi Jing and Zhu Jinzhao emerged empty-handed from Suite No. 2 and then entered Suite No. 1.

Room number one was occupied by Su Ying and Zhu Mingyue. Since they were both girls, it was inconvenient for Shi Jing to enter the room. Therefore, he only searched the living room and balcony, leaving the room to Zhu Jinzhao.

Zhu Jinzhao first searched Su Ying's room, and then went to Zhu Mingyue's place.

Zhu Mingyue's room was not much different from Su Ying's. Zhu Jinzhao searched the room using the old method, but couldn't find a trace of her.

"Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao scratched his head in confusion, then turned and walked out of the dressing room. "There's no one here. They're just so patient and don't want to change locations..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a white figure suddenly flashed past her, turned around through the crack in the bedroom door, and went straight into the walk-in closet.

Zhu Jinzhao was completely unaware, but the live stream was already filled with screams.

[Holy crap! Zhu Mingyue just walked right out of the live stream camera!]

[Hahahaha, Yueyue is awesome! Even if Zhu Jinchao is smart, she could never have imagined you'd be running around right under her nose!]

It's just a spy thriller, why are you making it sound like anyone can't do that?

[Look behind you, Chaochao! Look behind you, Chaochao! Oh dear, why did you forget to search behind the door when you came in!]

Zhu Jinzhao couldn't see the comments, so she naturally didn't know that Zhu Mingyue, whom she was looking for, was actually in the dressing room behind her.

She frowned and walked out, spoke a few words to Shi Jing in the living room, and then, unwilling to give up, turned back.

They also checked the dressing room, where people could easily hide, again, but still didn't see a single person.

"Maybe there really isn't anyone here..." She didn't dwell on the room and turned to leave.

[Wow! Mingyue is amazing! She managed to change her position again before Zhu Jinzhao could turn back!]

La la la, the bright moon is actually right behind the curtains, hopefully you won't find it tonight...

[The real heiress is indeed the real heiress; she crushed this fake with a single move!]

"Chao Chao, I found Xiao Chen!"

Shi Jing emerged from an unoccupied, vacant room, followed by Xiao Chen, who had just been caught red-handed.

"When did you hide inside?" Zhu Jinzhao asked.

Xiao Chen ran her fingers through her slightly messy long hair and said honestly without any suspicion, "You came in when you went upstairs. I thought you wouldn't look for the room again after looking for it once, but who knew you would come back."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jinchao suddenly narrowed his eyes warily: "You... came back alone?"

"Yes," Xiao Chen answered naturally, not at all like he was lying.

After listening, Zhu Jinzhao instantly confirmed a certain guess: "Shi Jing, since Xiao Chen ran back to his room, do you mean Ming Yue might have come back too?"

Shi Jing thought for a moment, then smiled and raised an eyebrow: "Very likely."

"Hmph..." Zhu Jinzhao chuckled maliciously, making Xiao Chen's heart tremble. "Come on, let's look again, the two of us together."

Shi Jing: "No problem."

[Oh no, I suddenly have a very bad feeling!]

Why did Zhu Jinchao emphasize that two people should search together? Did she guess something?

[Hahaha, it's hunting time!]

[Mom, help! This woman is terrifying!]

Xiao Chen's slip-up convinced Zhu Jinzhao that Zhu Mingyue was definitely hiding in this suite. She and Shi Jing began their fifth thorough search of Suite Number One, starting from the entrance.

Zhu Jinchao was careful and this time she didn't act alone, but searched together with Shi Jing.

Find the balcony from the living room, and then turn into the room from the balcony.

The search was now being conducted by two pairs of eyes, and Zhu Mingyue had no way to run anymore.
