Chapter 90: The Dog Who Lost His Home [Item Name: Peeping Eyeball]...
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da.
The sound of high heels came from far away, and her heart beat violently.
As soon as Ms. Wen walked in, Lili ran into the classroom and started listening to the lecture as if nothing had happened, staring at the doll on the podium without blinking, as if it had never left.
Cecilia found a nearby corner and hid herself completely behind the pile of toys.
"...Strange, I remember this roller coaster wasn't placed here."
Ms. Wen's gentle voice came. At this moment, the other person was very close to her, and they were only separated by a toy wall. If Ms. Wen took a few more steps back, she would bump into her.
"Today's entertainment time hasn't arrived yet. Did a child sneak out to play?"
Ms. Wen muttered to herself, picked up the roller coaster, and gradually approached the direction where Cecilia was...
Ding-dong-dong-ding—ding-dong-dong-ding—
A crisp bell rang, and the originally quiet classroom suddenly burst into cheers. The children swarmed out of the classroom and surrounded Ms. Wen.
“Mom is back!”
"Mom, I miss you so much! I was very obedient today, can I get a little red flower?"
"Mom, mom, I brought a stool over here, come sit down and have a rest!"
“…”
The children chattered and listened to the sound of "Mom".
…I have to say, being a mother is very hard, and being a mother of hundreds of children is even more admirable.
Cecilia had a splitting headache from the noise, but she didn't dare to move at all, for fear that someone would discover her hiding place.
"Everyone is doing very well. Don't be anxious. Let's talk slowly."
With a gentle and kind voice, Ms. Wen responded to the children's expectations one by one, "After such a long class, everyone's stomachs are empty. Let's go eat something first, okay?"
"good--"
The children responded in unison and were taken away from the entertainment area by Ms. Wen.
call.
Cecia breathed a sigh of relief and looked out through the gap in the toy wall. After confirming that no one was nearby, she quietly bypassed the dining area and slipped out of the front door.
"Go, go, go, go!"
After she closed the door, the teddy bear urged her anxiously, "It's already past two o'clock! You have to be near Ms. Qian's house before three o'clock. That bad guy has an appointment to meet you!"
"It's too late if we don't leave now!"
As time was running out, the man and the bear escaped from Ms. Wen's house and immediately opened Ms. Qian's door. On the way, she did not forget to put on the bird-beak mask that symbolized her identity.
"Hero! You are here at last!"
As soon as she appeared, Mr. Xiong, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet her. Although he was a head taller than Cecia, he nodded and bowed, and his attitude was extremely respectful.
"It's 2:40 now. Ms. Qian will be back in 20 minutes."
Mr. Xiong looked at his watch and said in a rough voice, "She has a strange habit. She must come back at three o'clock every day. No matter how important the meeting is, she will postpone it. No one knows what she does at home..."
As he said this, he turned and walked into the white mist and disappeared.
"He, he wouldn't want us to follow him, would he?"
The teddy bear pressed against Cecia's ear, and its paw nervously grasped the collar. "This is bad, we can't enter the white fog..."
Cecia did not respond, but waited quietly for the other party to return.
Two minutes later.
Mr. Bear scratched his head in confusion and emerged from the white mist.
"Sir, why don't you come over?"
He asked cautiously, observing Cecia's expression, "I've been calling you for a long time, but you ignored me... We need to stay away from her so that we won't be easily discovered. That woman is very cautious!"
"But I want to see it up close."
She said in a cold voice, the sharp bird-beak mask facing Mr. Bear's face.
"this……"
Mr. Xiong looked troubled. He turned around twice in a hurry and suddenly stopped. "I got it! I know a place!"
A hint of joy flashed across his face, and he could not wait to lead Cecia to a small hill.
"I used to work for Ms. Qian, and this is a great place to slack off. Unless someone passes by right behind you, they can't even see you!"
As if to verify his statement, he squatted down and hid behind the groove of the hill.
This hill is placed in the yard for landscape design. Its shape and design are very unique, smooth throughout, and both sides tend to wrap inwards, just enough to block things in the groove.
In addition, the groove at the back is quite spacious, so not only the two of them, but even two more can be squeezed in.
"How is it! Isn't this place nice?"
Mr. Bear was showing off to win the credit. If he had a tail, he would have broken it long ago.
You know what, this guy is really useful.
Cecia nodded silently and followed him into the groove of the hill. The hill was very close to the white fog, and after she hid in it, almost half of her body was covered by the white fog.
Fortunately, as long as the body does not completely enter the white mist, it will not be teleported away.
The two of them squatted here for more than ten minutes. The roar of a motor sounded from a distance, and they saw a black luxury car gradually approaching and stopped right in front of the villa.
"Look! She's back!"
Mr. Xiong reminded quietly, "Normally, she and that kid are inseparable. As long as you see the state of that kid, you can understand how crazy she is..."
"Excuse me, my master didn't invite you two, did he?"
Just as the car door was about to open, a deep voice suddenly sounded above their heads.
The housekeeper who had rejected her before was now standing right behind them, staring at Cecia with his empty eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
There was something eerie in the voice, and the huge pair of scissors for trimming grass in his hand also shone with a cold light.
"Uh...Butler Zhang, do you still remember me?"
Mr. Xiong quickly stood between the two and tried to smooth things over. "This is my current employer. He is quite experienced in business, so I brought him here to introduce him to Mr. Qian."
But the housekeeper didn't buy it at all and looked at him indifferently.
Seeing that this approach was not feasible, Mr. Xiong quickly changed his strategy, stuffed a cigarette into the butler's hand, and said with a playful smile: "Let's not talk about those nonsense. After all, we are colleagues. Can you be flexible?"
"colleague?"
The butler twitched his lips, as if he was laughing. Just when Mr. Xiong thought he had succeeded and was about to go up to her and put his arm around her shoulders to get close to her, he threw the cigarette to the ground in disgust.
The leather shoes on his feet repeatedly crushed the cigarettes. The housekeeper frowned and said coldly: "You are not worthy of being my colleague."
"You are lucky. There are many customers today, and Mr. Qian doesn't have time to mess around with you. You also know Mr. Qian's methods, right?"
The butler straightened the wrinkles of his suit and ignored Mr. Xiong, whose face was stiff. "Please leave, immediately."
He bent slightly with a polite smile on his face, but his eyes revealed contempt and disdain.
"you……"
Mr. Xiong was angry but dared not say anything. He looked at the housekeeper, then at Cecilia, and felt that he could not afford to offend either side. He tucked his tail between his legs like a stray dog.
"Let's go."
Faced with her rude expulsion, Cecia did not argue too much. It is still unclear about Ms. Qian's background, and from the current situation, she is the most difficult to deal with.
If there is a direct confrontation, it will obviously be disadvantageous to her.
"Hero, I——"
She waved her hand to stop Mr. Xiong's excuses.
"You go back first, I'll find you later."
After saying this, Cecia opened the door and returned to their room.
"...Hero?"
From Mr. Xiong's perspective, Cecilia suddenly disappeared from where she was.
"It's over. This is completely irreversible."
He was full of anger and walked home dejectedly. He was an irritable person, but he only dared to vent his anger on "punching bags". Now under Cecilia's oppression, he couldn't figure out people's attitudes and didn't dare to take any action.
I can only vent my anger by kicking the flowers and plants along the way.
When he finally got home, Cecilia was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
"Hero! Sorry for the long wait!"
Mr. Xiong was stunned, and quickly stepped forward, kneeling down and apologizing honestly, "I really didn't mean to lie to you, I didn't know such a secret place could be discovered by the housekeeper..."
"But! I'm absolutely not lying. That woman is really problematic! If you don't believe me, I'll take you directly to the arena tonight, or I'll wait for her again tomorrow!"
He said it with such confidence that he was almost swearing.
"I trust you."
Under the bird-beak mask, Cecilia's lips curled up into a leisurely smile.
Afterwards, she wandered around Mr. Xiong's house for more than an hour, eating bread and making coffee under his terrified gaze.
After estimating that the time was about right, she left, went home, took off the bird-beak mask, and stepped into Ms. Qian's door again.
"I already told you yesterday that Mr. Qian is not at home. Please don't come."
The housekeeper still had that indifferent look on his face, looking down at her condescendingly, and obviously failed to recognize that she was the masked person who appeared in the afternoon.
"Sorry, I just want to try again. After all, I really hope that Ms. Qian can come to the party..."
Cecia spoke sincerely on the surface, but secretly moved her steps, gradually approaching the hill where the two had just been.
"Thank you for your respect for Mr. Qian. I will pass it on to you."
The housekeeper was absent-mindedly saying polite words, and she took advantage of the other party's inattention to pull off the eyeball attached to it.
[Item name: Peeping Eyeball]
[The eyeball fell from someone's body, and it fell off before the main body died, so it escaped. It can rotate 360 degrees and record all the information around it truthfully, but it can only operate continuously for two hours. If it is not recovered after the time limit, the eyeball will explode and die, and it cannot be used again. ]
[Note: The mucus on its body allows it to attach itself to any place. After recovery, it needs to be soaked in clean water to restore its state.]
As early as when she was discovered by the housekeeper, she was thinking about how to see the so-called "strange child".
Eventually, she came up with this special item and secretly stuck it in an inconspicuous place on the hill.
Exactly one hour and fifty-two minutes have passed since now.
"...Please go back."
The housekeeper argued with her for a long time, but was so annoyed that he couldn't help but order her to leave.
Now that she had achieved her goal, she took advantage of the situation and returned to the room with the eyeball.
"Xia, you are so smart! You can actually think of this idea!"
Looking at the image projected onto the wall by the eyeball, the teddy bear did not hesitate to praise it.
