Chapter 157 The secret passage is here
The door was opened, and the usage rate of the spare key was actually not that low.
Just as the four had expected, there was no one behind the door.
It’s hard to say whether it’s better to have no one at all or to have someone behind the door.
Xiaomi had thought about it before coming here. The consultant would definitely come to see Xiao Ou, but she didn't know whether they would run into each other.
But now it seems that the other party should have deliberately avoided me.
Just because they are unwilling to confront me head-on...that doesn't mean they don't intend to be my enemy.
He actually didn't quite understand why he would go to such lengths for a stranger he met by chance.
Just because the young master, who always disrespected his teachers outside of home, willingly called that person "teacher" a few times?
That kind of help is too cheap, it's so deceptive.
You're obviously not young anymore, but are you as naive as a child in this regard?
Who is going to teach whom the lesson? In that case, as the "enemy", I should also teach the other party a lesson.
Xiao Ou's parents would be lying if they said they were not panicked when they saw that their little son, who had been in the room not long ago, was gone.
But his other child was still here, and there were guests at home, so even if he felt panic, he couldn't show it.
They have to pretend to be calm, and people of their class cannot show any weaknesses or soft spots.
My eldest son told me that Xiao Ou had been kidnapped and was saved by the front desk consultant of that irregular medical institution.
At first, Ou's father thought that this was a trap set up by the medical institution or even the equal rights organization behind it, just to make Xiao Ou owe them a favor.
After all, even if this type of kidnapping is not an isolated case in the circle, it is unlikely that someone would be kidnapped directly from their own room.
He has great confidence in the security of the villa area where he lives.
What the father didn't know was that the consultant whom he looked down upon had sneaked into the villa area several times, making security useless to him.
In front of game employees who have unlimited props, those security personnel and measures are too inadequate.
When he determined that it was that man who did it, his wife disagreed with this speculation.
The lady had a terrible intuition, as if she had been in an environment for a long time without being aware of danger, and if she became a danger, she would be swallowed up by the danger.
The education she received since childhood and her special experiences have enabled her to capture even the smallest details with great accuracy.
Those tiny clues, if they appear alone, would certainly not prove anything.
But once a connection is found, it is sufficient to serve as “evidence” of guilt.
She believed that the person who kidnapped her beloved youngest son was the child's only friend and sweetheart - Xiaomi.
As neighbors for so many years, it is natural that she would not be completely unfamiliar with Xiaomi.
In other words, in her own family, the one who knows the child's true nature best is not the youngest son with whom she has a very "good" relationship, nor the eldest son and husband whom she trusts very much, but herself.
That child is very similar to my past self in some ways.
But unfortunately, she would not agree with "her" thoughts and actions at that time.
Today, she has achieved the life that was the "ultimate pursuit in life" in her mind at that time, so she can naturally break away from her past self.
Even if the means are despicable, the traces should be covered up well.
The mother watched Xiaomi walk into Xiaobao's room without any unfamiliarity, and lowered her eyelids to hide the vigilance in her eyes.
At least today, he is still a guest.
"Did you find anything?" The elder brother felt a little uneasy as he watched his younger brother's friend rudely walk around the room.
Are you worried about your brother who is currently missing?
Yes, but not entirely.
No matter how slow you are, you should be able to sense that something is wrong.
For example, my mother seemed to have a kind of... vague hostility towards my brother's best friend.
In his impression, his mother has always been a model of a dignified and elegant lady and one of the prides of the family.
My mother has a talent for managing household affairs. It seems that as long as she is in charge of the household, the rest of the family members don't have to worry about anything.
But this time, his younger brother "disappeared" almost right under his mother's nose.
Although he did not think that this would subvert the glorious image of his mother in his heart, it also indirectly proved how incredible it was that his brother's whereabouts were unknown.
This has happened more than once or twice. Ever since Xiao Ou went to that medical institution, he has often been out of his usual range of activities.
Even if the operation was not performed, the impact that place had on him was great enough.
The four of them walked into Xiao Ou's bedroom, each with their own thoughts.
The room is spacious and relatively tidy. The bookshelf is basically filled with textbooks, but the transcripts are not that good.
However, no one present expected Xiao Ou to make a living with his "knowledge" in the future, which might be exactly what they wanted.
Except that Xiao Ou, who was supposed to be inside, was missing, everything seemed normal here - no, there seemed to be a light flashing somewhere.
If Ye Xing were here, he would definitely complain that this was set up specifically for them to discover.
Many games add some flash to important discoveries so that players can see them.
Even a real NPC who has never played the game knows that this design is very common.
Well, of course it was intentional. If there were no clues left, wouldn’t it be a supernatural event?
Anyway, the colleague who designed this part thought so and put the idea into practice.
"Here is a bracelet," the eldest son picked up a very eye-catching bracelet from an inconspicuous corner, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the one Xiaoou is wearing."
He didn't know much about jewelry, but he still had an impression of his brother's personal belongings.
The other three people also saw the bracelet and took it to look at it carefully.
The parents didn't say anything about it, but Xiaomi changed his expression several times and said just right: "I gave this to Xiaoou. I didn't expect him to wear it all the time..."
His acting skills in this area are perfect, and he played the shyness and disbelief to the fullest.
Except for Ou's father, everyone present already knew about Xiao Ou's feelings for Xiaomi, so there was no surprise.
Only the one who was kept in the dark had a confused look on his face.
It was strange, why was his youngest son wearing a bracelet given by his “best friend” who was also an Omega, and refusing to be nice to his “fiancé”?
The gifts that Al has sent over the years are no less than those given by Xiaomi, and the prices are also higher.
"It's the bracelet Xiaomi gave me," the woman said meaningfully, "No wonder Xiaobao treasures it so much."
Her tone was not as exaggerated as the other person's, but everyone who understood it was panicked.
The eldest son did not dare to look at his mother's expression at this time, for he was worried that his younger brother's emotions would be "criticized" by his family.
My family really wants to marry into the Al family, and with Xiaomi's existence... I don't know what the outcome of this matter will be.
Xiaomi smiled and said, "Well, I told Xiaoou that I made it myself, and he was very touched. It seemed that he had never received a gift handmade by someone before."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his smile. He felt that since this family had almost seen through him, there was no need to pretend too much.
All he had to do was to deceive the most powerful person in the family who was still unaware of the situation.
Xiao Ou's mother and brother were stunned.
Yes, although they claimed to be the people who loved Xiao Ou the most in the world, they had never personally prepared a gift for him.
In the past, money was given directly on holidays and birthdays.
The child received countless bills, checks and cards, but never received a gift of concrete significance from his family.
Even the rare gift boxes, after opening, only contain stacks of banknotes.
They are not likely to spend much thought on such things. In their eyes, "gifts" are just a formality.
Why can't you buy your own children what they want? Why do you have to wait for your family to give you something you can buy yourself?
That's what they've always thought.
Perhaps because they have received too many gifts from people who asked them to do things for them, they have gradually forgotten the meaning of the gifts themselves.
It also ignores the child's possible need for gifts.
The place where the bracelet was found was exactly the entrance to the secret passage.
There was not a single place in this villa that the woman did not know; she had known this the moment she saw the flash.
However, she did not say it immediately. Since a lot of time had passed, she might as well take this opportunity to test Xiaomi again.
She was not disappointed. The other party really pointed out the location of the secret door: "There, I remember there is a secret passage. My brother Al and I often went there when we were young."
This is clearly Xiao Ou's room, but there were only two people in that memory.
Xiaomi could no longer remember how he felt when he wanted to take a shortcut into Xiaoou's room. He only remembered Al who was walking in the secret passage with him in front and behind.
Al, who always stood on Xiaoou's side, would only be so close to him at that time.
When the three of them are together, Xiao Ou always stands in the middle.
It was as if he was born to be the protagonist and should be in the "C" position.
Even if I feel unwilling, I have no choice but to cooperate.
…
Ye Xuan thought about the bracelet again and felt a little panicked.
It's lost and I can't find it now. It just fell in the room and won't go anywhere.
But where does this feeling of unease come from?
So he asked one more question: "When was the last time you saw the bracelet? Maybe you can remember where you lost it, and you won't be so panicked."
Although he was actually panicking, he would not admit it easily and tried to deceive himself that the negative emotions were caused by the students.
Xiao Ou thought about it and said with certainty: "Before entering the secret passage, the bracelet was still on my hand."
It seemed to be hooked when I entered the secret door, and it probably fell at that time.
Hearing the young master's nonchalant tone, Ye Xing was a little bit unable to lose his temper.
No, doesn’t this almost mean “throw it at the door of the secret passage”?
Is it impossible to say such an important detail as "being hooked"? Why not say it - does he have to read the character's psychological activities to know it?
He sighed helplessly, thinking that raising a child like this would definitely make him sick.
No wonder my elementary school teacher was so angry with those naughty kids every other day that he threatened to resign.
If it were me, I would probably also be talking about "resigning" all day long.
However, this job is different from a real "teacher" after all. His identity this time is not a teacher, but a front desk consultant.
Thinking about it this way, I don’t feel so bad anymore.
"Xiao Ou, next time this kind of situation happens, tell me first." He did not lose his temper with the young master.
He knew very well that the child would not learn his lesson even if he was scolded.
"If I had discovered it earlier, the bracelet would be on my wrist." Xiao Ou argued unconvinced.
He didn't want to leave the bracelet at home. It was a bracelet given to him by Xiaomi, so he had to wear it well.
Thinking of this, he said proudly: "Xiaomi really cares about me. He said that this bracelet is for me alone. Even Al doesn't get a share!"
Huh, hh, hh, in Xiaomi's heart, he is indeed the most important!
Ye Xuan didn’t think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing this, he had to think more about it.
Xiaomi, why do you do this?
