The restaurant owner recognized Jin Che. "Young Master Jin, your younger brother Jin Zihang is also here. Would you like to eat together or alone?"
"Let's eat separately. He probably came with friends, so let's not bother him."
"Okay, the menu the usual?"
Jin Che nodded and went upstairs. The waiter was already preparing bowls and chopsticks in the private room.
The private room is decorated in a retro style, giving it a nostalgic feel, which He Tiantian quite likes.
The three of them had barely sat down when Jin Zihang pushed open the door and walked in.
"Brother, why don't you come and eat with me? I'm all alone."
"Oh? That's strange, Third Brother. Why didn't you come with your friends?"
"Sigh, those fair-weather friends won't last long. It's always the brothers at home who are reliable."
He Tiantian sensed that the atmosphere between the two of them was friendly on the surface, but they were secretly preparing for a fight.
"Oh, Xiaozhou and Tiantian are here too?"
Jin Zihang suddenly turned the topic to Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian, both of whom were taken aback.
"Hmm, I didn't expect to run into the Third Young Master here."
Shen Yizhou calmly took a sip of tea, while Jin Zihang was not surprised. He found a chair, sat down, and called for the dishes to be served.
Just as everyone was eating quietly, Jin Zihang was about to cause trouble again, so he put down his chopsticks.
"Brother, who do you think is the most suspicious person this time?"
"I don't know, I have no clue at all, but one thing I'm sure of is that the old man will be furious when he comes back."
Jin Che didn't look at Jin Zihang, but talked to him while eating, showing no intention of even glancing at him.
Jin Zihang, however, stared intently at Jin Che's profile.
"Yes, I know the old man's temper. Find the murderer as soon as possible, brother. The Jin family is counting on you."
After Jin Zihang finished speaking, he got up and left the private room.
"Xiao Zhou and Tian Tian, eat more. The dishes here are my favorites."
Jin Che smiled at the two of them. No matter how angry he was, he would never criticize his younger brother in front of the guests. He was used to hiding his emotions.
"I'm eating, Brother Jin. These dishes taste great, and I like them too."
He Tiantian was as supportive as ever, and the dish was indeed quite delicious; Shen Yizhou also chimed in with a few words of praise.
"Make sure you eat your fill. There's a curfew in the castle, so you won't get anything to eat if you're hungry in the middle of the night."
"Ah, so there's a curfew in the castle! We just found out."
"Yes, because when Lan Yue was little, she would steal food, and as a result, she would have diarrhea and fever the next day. The old man had no choice but to order a curfew."
He Tiantian listened quietly to Jin Che's story, finding it very interesting.
"Alright, let's go back."
Jin Che and Shen Yizhou argued over who would pay the bill at the front desk, neither willing to give in. In the end, Jin Che got the shopkeeper to swipe his card to end the argument.
"Xiao Zhou, you're too kind. I invited you to dinner, why should you pay?"
"It's all the same, Brother Jin. Next time, Tian Tian and I will treat you to a meal."
"Then I really won't stand on ceremony with you."
Jin Che drove back to the castle, arriving exactly at 1 p.m.
After saying goodbye to Jin Che, the two went back to A Qing and A Yu's room and knocked on the door. A Qing was stunned when she heard the knocking and jumped out of bed to open the door.
"Tian Tian and Zhou Ge, what brings you here?"
"Seriously? You guys are still sleeping! What time is it? Aren't you going to eat?"
He Tiantian walked into the room as she spoke, and Shen Yizhou followed her in. The two sat down on chairs.
Ayu was still asleep and didn't even know they were coming. It was Aqing who shook him awake.
“We went to the pool again last night, and I dived underwater to look for it. I actually found something.”
Aqing took out the half of the stone from the pocket of her coat yesterday. Shen Yizhou took it and examined it carefully. This half was the missing piece of the ornament in Jin Yun's room.
"I know where this stone comes from; I saw it in Jin Yun's room!"
He Tiantian also realized that she had seen this thing in her dream last night! But she had forgotten about it when she woke up.
