Chapter 223 Home Babysitting 26
As fellow players, Luo Chunxiao and Pu Qiwei felt that Lu Ye would not use such a thing to show off and deceive others, so they felt relieved.
Pu Qiwei: "Awesome, Brother Lu!"
Luo Chunxiao also nodded in agreement.
Apart from anything else, Lu Ye took on everything by himself and helped them save props and points, so he has to be praised for this.
Lu Ye: "Okay, let's move on to the next step."
He only likes to hear her praise, he is not interested in other people's praise.
Luo Chunxiao: "Next we have to investigate. Before we came, the Zhou family read a few stories to the young master. It would be best if we could know the specific content of the stories."
This way they would know how many monsters they still had to deal with, as well as the points they needed to guard against.
In order to improve efficiency, the four people divided into two teams and went to ask the maids for information in this regard.
However, the progress of the investigation was not satisfactory.
Yu Ke and Lu Ye asked almost all the maids in charge of the area, but their answers were all similar.
They had never read stories to the young master, and had no memory of who had read the stories to him, let alone what the stories were.
The two were unable to get any useful clues in the end, and thought that was it. They were about to return to the young master's room to wait for possible progress from Luo Chunxiao and Pu Qiwei.
Unexpectedly, when they returned to the third floor, Yu Ke and her friend met another maid.
With the mentality of not wanting to miss it, Yu Ke stopped the maid and asked her about it. In fact, she didn't have much hope, but it turned out that the maid actually knew some information!
"I only know of one person who read stories to the young master before you came, but she disappeared a week ago."
"As for what stories she has read... maybe only you know that."
As soon as he heard the word "sir", Lu Ye's expression immediately turned sour.
He knew without even thinking that this must be another shady trick of someone, designed to lure stupid little idiots into coming to him.
As expected, the stupid me took the bait immediately.
"Eh? Is Mr. Zhou the only one who knows?"
Maid: "Yes. At that time, because the young master rarely went to bed early, the master asked someone to ask about the specific situation. I believe that person must have explained everything to the master in detail."
Yu Ke: “Is that so.”
She thanked and said goodbye to the maid thoughtfully, and a thought came to her mind that would have been impossible for her in the past few days.
——Or, should she go ask Zhou Shengze?
After spending last night with Zhou Shengze, Yu Ke, who was treated so gently, no longer has much fear of him.
The most important thing is that he not only gave her a midnight snack, but also let her have a good sleep!
Zhou Shengze is definitely a good boss!
System 5488: [. 】This is what is called being favored and gaining courage.
Lu Ye looked at the little fool with a cold face and spoke to him hesitantly.
"Well, should we go ask Zhou Shengze? I think he'll tell us."
He grabbed her cheek and said, "What gave you this illusion?"
Yu Ke pushed his hand away, covered her red face in confusion, and explained a little aggrievedly.
Lu Ye got even angrier after hearing this.
"You were bought off with a little treat? Even kindergarten kids know not to follow someone just for a piece of candy!"
Yu Ke pouted and retorted, defending her mature soul to the death.
"It's not just about food! If it weren't for him last night, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well!"
Lu Ye: “…”
There is no way to refute this.
Damn it, if this is in his...
Seeing that he was silent, Yu Ke felt that she had become the winner of the debate. She was a little proud, and her pink lips formed a happy arc. She said happily:
"Okay, let's go together quickly, don't you want to pass the customs earlier?"
Lu Ye paused and was completely convinced.
Indeed, the most important thing is to pass the customs quickly.
Walking to the study on the fourth floor, Yu Ke suddenly remembered something important.
She forgot to ask if Zhou Shengze was there!
What if he is busy with a business worth hundreds of billions of dollars outside? Can he come back today?
If he doesn't come back, I'll have to continue reading stories tonight.
Yu Ke knocked on the study door with hope, but no one responded.
...It seems he is gone.
She put her hand down in disappointment, but still ran to Zhou Shengze's bedroom and knocked on the door.
Maybe he's just lazing around in his room?
But there was no response from inside the bedroom for a long time.
Yu Ke sighed and accepted her fate.
I wonder what new stories I will hear tonight...
She turned around and was about to leave the fourth floor with Lu Ye, but the door behind her, which had been unanswered for a long time, was suddenly opened.
Zhou Shengze was still dressed in a suit and tie, looking a little hurried. His cold eyes moved slightly and fell on Yu Ke at the first sight.
His cold brows melted instantly, and then he noticed Lu Ye beside her. His thin lips straightened again, and a hint of disgust appeared on his face.
Lu Ye also sneered, and both of them made no secret of their dislike for each other.
Yu Ke smiled happily when she saw Zhou Shengze appear.
"So you're here!... Were you sleeping just now?"
Her breath hitched at the thought of this possibility, and she felt deeply sorry.
Zhou Shengze turned his eyes away from the objectionable thing and said slowly, "No, you don't have to mind it."
After saying that, he turned sideways to make room for entering the room, "Come in."
After Yu Ke went in, Zhou Shengze looked at Lu Ye coldly and whispered, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Ye put his hands in his pockets and said impatiently: "She asked me to come."
Zhou Shengze frowned and couldn't say anything about this answer.
Yu Ke, who had already walked to the sofa, turned around and found that they were still blocking the door, as if they were talking. She couldn't help but wonder:
"Why don't you come in and talk?"
Hearing her voice, Zhou Shengze moved aside to allow Lu Ye to come in smoothly.
The three of them sat on the sofa, and Yu Ke went straight to the point and asked Zhou Shengze:
"Before recruiting us, what stories did the Zhou family read to the young master? The kind of stories that could make the young master fall asleep. Do you remember how many stories they read?"
Zhou Shengze looked at her black and white eyes filled with anticipation. Thinking that this was the first time she took the initiative to come to him, he couldn't bear to let her go back empty-handed.
"Yes, I have read one, The Body Double."
Yu Ke's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "What kind of story is "The Twins"? "
Zhou Shengze didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand to motion her to come over.
Yu Ke stood up hesitantly, walked to his side, and looked at him blankly, not understanding what he was going to do.
Zhou Shengze took her hand, asked her to sit on the sofa, and then put his hand over her eyes.
The next second when her vision was shrouded in darkness, a colorful picture suddenly reappeared in front of Yu Ke's eyes.
That is a picture from the past that does not belong here, does not belong to this moment.
