Chapter 43 Ghost Castle 14



Shen Yizhou arrived at Jin Che's door by relying on his memory. He knocked three times and Jin Che opened the door.

"Xiao Zhou Tian Tian? What brings you here?"

Jin Che invited the two into the room. He Tiantian was stunned as soon as she stepped in. This bedroom was exactly the same as the one in her dream.

"I wonder if Brother Jin is free tonight? Tian Tian and I would like to invite you to dinner."

"You have time. Wait for me a moment. I can leave as soon as I finish reading this document."

Jin Che smiled and picked up the document. He looked at it carefully and finished it in no time.

"Okay, let's go. Shall we go to the restaurant we ate at last time?"

"Okay, that place has good food, but the most important thing is that Brother Jin likes it."

"Haha, Xiao Zhou, you really know how to talk!"

Jin Che walked out of the room with a smile. The maids on the way thought that the young master was possessed, because he had never smiled like that before.

He drove the two of them to the restaurant, and the owner immediately came to greet them when he saw that it was Jin Che.

"Young Master Jin, the private room is still reserved for you."

"Okay, bring out our latest signature dishes."

After Jin Che finished speaking, he led the two upstairs. He Tiantian was already familiar with the private room, so she didn't bother to observe the decorations inside.

Shen Yizhou chatted with Jin Che, and she didn't interrupt, instead scrolling through her phone by herself.

“Brother Jin, I feel that you are about the same age as my elder brother, which makes me feel very close to you.”

"Oh? Xiao Zhou has an older brother? How old is your older brother?"

"My eldest brother is 36 this year, what about Brother Jin?"

Although He Tiantian acted as if she wasn't listening, she was actually listening the whole time, and she was also very nervous.

"Yeah, that's about right. I'm exactly 33 this year, and your older brother is three years older than me."

"Oh? Brother Jin, you're already 33? I can't believe it."

He Tiantian looked at Jin Che in surprise. She really didn't expect him to be so old. Shen Yizhou, on the other hand, was not surprised. It was about the same as he had estimated.

"Haha, is Tian Tian saying I look young?"

"Yeah! How many years apart are you from your brothers? I really can't tell."

"Well, the second child is 30, the third is 27, the fourth is 26, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh are all 25. Our family situation is a bit complicated, so please don't mind."

He Tiantian didn't find it strange. With so many wives in the manor, it was normal for their ages to vary.

"This kind of thing is not unusual, but I have to say that Brother Jin still looks very young."

"Haha, then I'll thank you for the compliment, Tian Tian."

The waiter brought the dishes over, but He Tiantian didn't chat with him much. So, all she needed to do was confirm whether Lina was 27 years old.

If what Jin Jianwen said is true, shouldn't Brother Jin also have some doubts...? He Tiantian didn't want to doubt him.

After finishing the meal, Shen Yizhou went downstairs to pay the bill, as Jin Che did not intend for them to treat him.

On the way back, the three of them didn't talk much, mainly just keeping each other company in silence.

Just as He Tiantian was about to fall asleep, the car stopped at the entrance of the castle.

"You guys go back first, I still have some things to do at the company. Let's have dinner together sometime."

"Alright, goodbye Brother Jin."

After saying goodbye to Jin Che, the two went to sit in the garden.

"Zhouzhou, do you think it's possible for Brother Jin to do this?"

"Did you see the necklace around Brother Jin's neck?"

This question stumped He Tiantian; she hadn't really looked closely.

"Huh? Brother Jin, do you wear a necklace? I've never noticed before."

“He always hid it inside his clothes. I only saw it by chance while eating today. It’s the same style as Lina’s.”

He Tiantian didn't believe it. "But didn't Jin Zihang say that Lina stole the necklace from her?"

Just as Shen Yizhou was about to continue speaking, he saw several dark figures in the corner of the wall. He pulled He Tiantian and walked back to the room.

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly go back to your room?"

Shen Yizhou didn't reply to He Tiantian. Instead, he pulled back a corner of the curtain and looked down. Sure enough, there were several people squatting nearby.

It wasn't just one group of people; there were people from Jin Zihang's group as well as players.

He Tiantian hid behind Shen Yizhou and peeked out; it turned out they had been surrounded and eavesdropped on.

"Boss, do you have any leads on those two? I think they're just here to date."

"Pah, pah, pah, they're number one, they'll definitely find a way. Let's keep following them."

"No, boss, I think they're just lucky."

Enraged, the man called "boss" smacked the two idiots on the head.

"Stop talking nonsense! Just follow me."

Shen Yizhou overheard their conversation clearly; sure enough, someone was trying to pass the level by eavesdropping.

He pulled He Tiantian to sit on the sofa, saying, "From now on, we shouldn't discuss clues outside. I was careless just now."

Bang, bang, bang! Loud knocking came from outside the door.

"Hey, open the door inside!"

It was the voice of a strange man. He was kicking the door and shouting. The maid next to him secretly ran away to tell Young Master Jin that someone was causing trouble.

Shen Yizhou calmly opened the door, and seven people entered the room, led by a man in green.

"I heard you found a clue. Tell me what it is, and I'll spare your lives."

The man in green plopped down on the bed. He Tiantian looked at him with disgust; she didn't want to sleep on this bed again that night.

Ah Qing and Ah Yu from next door heard the noise and rushed over. There were seven strange men they had never seen before.
