Zhou Keming drove, ignoring the bumpy road, heading straight for the provincial capital. He drove until nightfall. Upon arriving in the provincial capital, he went directly to the secret mansion of Zhou Huiyu's husband, Gu Shaoyong, the fourth master of the Gu family in Beijing.
The servant guarding the mansion came down to open the door, and was startled. He quickly pulled the door open, bowed respectfully, and said, "Manager Zhou, why are you here so late... Should I prepare something for you to eat?"
Normally, Zhou Keming would have politely nodded in response, but today he seemed not to see the servants staying at the mansion, and even forgot that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and went straight to the study on the second floor of the mansion.
The servants at the secret mansion were also Gu Shaoyong's confidants. They stared at Zhou Keming's retreating figure for a moment, thought for a moment, and then silently went to the kitchen.
Manager Zhou came over in such a hurry, he must have something important to do. He probably hasn't eaten yet, so it's better to prepare some for him.
Upon entering, I locked the study from the inside and then went into the inner room. On the desk in the inner room was a black telephone.
Zhou Keming walked quickly to the desk, picked up the phone and dialed the number.
Xiao Jiu secretly followed Zhou Keming into the mansion, but because it dared not fly too close, it was locked outside after Zhou Keming closed the study door.
Xiao Jiu flew around the study, but couldn't find a way in. Finally, she angrily exclaimed, "Hey, why did you close the door? And this lousy door, what's wrong with it? There's not even a crack! How am I supposed to fly in?!"
"Hiding in the car and running all this way, I'm not tired, but... I'm so hungry..."
As she was muttering to herself, Xiao Jiu suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
There's food!
Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up, and she followed the scent to its source.
Gu Shaoyong was not short of money, so even though it was just a secret mansion, it had a refrigerator. With a refrigerator, there was naturally meat. Knowing that Steward Zhou rarely visited, the servants took out some frozen steaks from the refrigerator, preparing to fry two steaks for him. This was quick and easy.
In just a few minutes, the steak was cooked. The maid placed the steak on a plate and took a lid to keep it warm.
Little Nine panicked. It was starving, and if the steak wasn't covered, what would it eat? Thinking it wouldn't stay there long and wasn't worried about scaring anyone, it immediately spoke up: "What are you doing?"
The maid instinctively replied, "I fried steak."
After replying, she realized that the voice she heard was that of a child... but there were no children in the mansion!
The maid jumped, feeling the hairs on her body stand on end. She quickly grabbed a kitchen knife, gripped it with both hands, and shouted at the air in front of her, "Who? Who's speaking? Come out! I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you! Come out, come out now!"
"I'm right in front of you, can't you see me?" Xiao Jiu said with a grin from the shadows.
"A ghost!" After confirming that she had really heard the child's voice, the maid became even more frightened, shouted, and ran out of the kitchen with a knife in her hand.
"Hehe~ The meat is mine~" As soon as the maid ran away, Xiao Jiu chuckled, leaped out from the shadows, and pounced on the steak on the kitchen counter.
