Chapter 190
The Second Young Master grew angrier at the sight of the Butler’s composure.
He cursed inwardly. What a green-tea hypocrite!
Yun Youyou also thought the Butler’s tone carried an unmistakable aroma of green tea.
The Butler’s expression did not change. “If there is nothing else, I will return downstairs.”
“Wait.”
He stopped. “Do you have another instruction, Madam?”
Yun Youyou said, “Those rose cakes caught in my throat. Brew me some green tea to soothe it.”
“Madam, the house only has black tea. There is no green tea.”
The Second Young Master sneered and glanced at the Butler.
“Who says there isn’t? A whole giant bag of green tea is standing right here.”
The Butler: “…”
He smiled without warmth. “You should say less, Second Young Master. Otherwise, you may be the one who disappears tonight.”
The Second Young Master’s eyes widened. “Are you threatening me?”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
Yun Youyou and the Vampire gathered together to enjoy the show.
The exchange was absolutely thrilling.
Yun Youyou’s eyes remained fixed on the Butler.
Beside her, the Vampire saw her smile growing wider and could not help feeling jealous.
Did Youyou like men of this type?
The Vampire examined the Butler from head to toe and reached a conclusion.
So she liked green-tea men.
He fell into thoughtful silence.
Shen Mingzhen saw the Second Young Master still glaring at the Butler and worried that the man might get himself erased next.
“All right, enough. This isn’t the time to argue. Our priority is finding the Young Master. He might still be alive.”
The Second Young Master decided that made sense.
“Since you’ve said so, I’ll give you some face.”
Shen Mingzhen: “…”
He certainly knew how to build himself an exit.
As if Shen Mingzhen had not seen his hands shaking.
Pretending not to notice, Shen Mingzhen led several Players through a complete search of the villa.
If they searched, they needed to be thorough.
“Madam, please open the door.”
Shen Mingzhen stood outside Yun Youyou’s room and waited.
Everyone gathered behind him.
Yun Youyou suddenly remembered that she had never cleaned her room and hurried to stop them. “Why don’t you come back later? It’s a little messy inside.”
“No.”
Shen Mingzhen was utterly impartial. “What if he’s hidden in there and you use the delay to move him?”
Yun Youyou was offended. “Am I that kind of person?”
“My mother said the prettier the woman, the better she is at lying.”
Yun Youyou said, “Fine. I’m a liar.”
“…”
With no alternative, Yun Youyou opened her bedroom door beneath everyone’s gaze.
When Shen Mingzhen saw her lingering in the doorway, he simply lifted her aside and led the others in.
The Vampire followed curiously.
Yun Youyou’s room was much larger than anyone else’s.
The enormous projection screen still glowed with eerie blue light.
Shen Mingzhen glanced at it and casually asked, “What movie were you watching?”
Yun Youyou was normally shameless, yet now she found the answer difficult.
Uncomfortable, she handed him the remote.
“Ahem. See for yourself.”
Shen Mingzhen suspiciously pressed a button. The details page appeared, displaying the title in enormous black letters.
One Pregnancy, 108 Babies: Daily Life as the Beloved Group Pet of the Heroes of Liangshan
Shen Mingzhen: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Was this a movie humans could watch?
Only the Vampire calmly asked, “Is it good?”
Yun Youyou answered honestly, “It’s all right. The childbirth sequence lasts too long, though. It feels like filler.”
The Vampire said, “All right. I’ll watch it sometime.”
Yun Youyou said, “There are actually three movies in the series.”
Before she could explain, the recommendation panel on the screen displayed the other two.
One Pregnancy, 81 Babies: On the Mysteries of the Nine-by-Nine Multiplication Table
And:
One Pregnancy, 18 Babies: What Happened Between Yama and Me in the Eighteenth Level of Hell
Everyone fell silent.
The room sank into deathly stillness.
Yun Youyou had no choice but to pretend nothing was wrong. “Weren’t you searching the room? Why did everyone stop? Hurry up and move!”
Shen Mingzhen abruptly felt that a search was unnecessary.
Anyone who watched movies like these could not possess the intelligence required to hide a living man without leaving a trace.
He was clearly not alone in that opinion.
The others glanced around a few times, then silently withdrew from Yun Youyou’s room.
Only the Vampire continued following her and innocently asked, “So what exactly happened between her and Yama?”
Yun Youyou patted him on the shoulder.
“Some things can be understood but not spoken. Go back to your room and watch it secretly later.”
Everyone who emerged from Yun Youyou’s bedroom wore a dazed expression.
The Butler had been cleaning downstairs and had not entered.
When he finished and came upstairs, he found everyone standing outside Yun Youyou’s room with blank faces, as though their souls had been sucked away.
The Butler frowned and sank into thought.
Could Madam’s room contain some man-eating monster?
Fortunately, the group recovered after a short while.
Shen Mingzhen barely reclaimed his reason from the bizarre movie.
“Well… Let’s search somewhere else.”
The Second Young Master also snapped awake.
“Yes. Somewhere else.”
They searched the entire villa, including the Butler’s room, and still found nothing.
It was truly bizarre. How had a living man vanished into thin air?
Everyone was unusually quiet at lunch.
The Second Young Master shoved several bites into his mouth while thinking darkly that the Young Master’s disappearance might be fortunate. One fewer person would compete for the inheritance. The man hardly looked inclined to share; death suited him.
Yun Youyou looked up and caught the Second Young Master smiling wickedly for no apparent reason.
?
Was a woman playing with fire inside his bowl?
The Second Young Master was considering how to seize the inheritance from Yun Youyou when he looked up and found her enormous eyes fixed on him.
He immediately bit his lip and sent her a flirtatious wink.
Yun Youyou: “…”
“Butler!”
The Butler immediately came to her side. “What is it, Madam?”
Yun Youyou said, “We’ve discovered an oil field on the estate. Call someone to drill it another day.”
The Butler did not understand. “Where is this oil field?”
Yun Youyou glanced calmly to the side.
“Far on the horizon, close before our eyes.”
The Second Young Master: “…”
Shen Mingzhen burst out laughing.
Yun Youyou looked at him in disgust. “How many times must I tell you? If you need to fart, go to the bathroom.”
This time, Shen Mingzhen’s fists did not clench. Instead, he obediently stood.
