Chapter 344: Fire all the servants

And thus, continued the mystery of the locked door into the next day with no new answers but a whole of suspicious looks being given to all the servants in the house.

Even T4 had no answers since there was neither a drone nor a camera available to provide footage of the incident.

The topic of the locked door was all anyone could discuss at the breakfast table. Chi Lian did however notice the little furtive glances that were sent to her by Qi Qing. She started to suspect that Qi Qing knew something about the locked door but now was not the time for her to dig into it.

She was going to see Zhangye and get an answer as he had promised her.

Before leaving, she noticed that her mother was packing snacks in a container and decorating them beautifully.

"Mother, why was you are packing snacks?"

"For Yu-Yu, she was hurt last night. I have to do something to ease her heart a little bit and explain the situation to her. By the way, your brother did not return last night, I think he slept over at Yu-Yu’s. Right now, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing."

As mama Chi explained this, she also sighed.

"Don’t worry Nuo; I am going to look into this carefully while you are at work. It must have been done by one of the maids, there is no other explanation. If we fail to find the culprit, you should consider firing all the servants and hiring new ones."

One of the maids was passing by and when she heard what grandma An said, she dropped the bucket of water she was carrying.

"Sorry, I am sorry." She apologized tearfully while trembling.

"Just clean up the floor and make sure you watch your mouth. If any word about what we have said gets out you will be the first to go." Grandma An threatened the maid.

"Yes madam." The maid scrambled to leave hurriedly.

"I am leaving." Chi Lian hugged her mother and grandmother briefly. "Grandma," she said as an afterthought, "If you are going to question the maids, I suggest you talk to Qi Qing first. She is my personal maid and I trust her but I think she knows something. It’s better to be safe than sorry."

Grandma Wang nodded, "I will do as you suggest."

As she was leaving, she noticed a few men come inside the house. They were dressed similarly in green overalls with a security company name and logo.

"Your grandfather is having security cameras installed all over the house including the back yard. He said we should not have any more blind spots in the house by day end." Her mother informed her. "I am quite relieved; I never thought that something like this could happen in our house.

We have just entered the New Year and we are supposed to be jolly because of your upcoming engagement party but instead we are worrying about having an unscrupulous individual in the house. What kind of bad luck have we met?"

"It’s not bad luck mother, it’s probably someone who is jealous of Jian Yu. I am sure we will have some answers before the night or the week ends." Chi Lian calmed her agitated mother down. If she didn’t, her mother would rant about this all morning.

"I hope you are right Chi-Chi. I would hate to fire all of our servants because I like them all, especially the ones who came with us from B city. I consider to them to be part of the family."

"Hmm." Chi Lian mumbled. "I have to run mother, goodbye."

Today she was going with old tiger and spider. The two men were already waiting for her outside the car.

Old tiger’s large physique could not be hidden by the heavy red jacket that he was wearing but Spider on the hand was the stunner of the two. He was dressed in all black, with a long thick dark coat covering his body.

With his brooding attitude and tall stature, he looked like a model or an assassin from a movie. The black gloves on his hands were quite a nice touch.

She could not resist teasing him, "Spider, you look like a lady killer."

He grunted in response and she chuckled.

"Boss, where are we going?" old tiger asked her curiously. He held the door open for her and she got in. Both men settled into the car and waited for further instructions.

"To the children’s house, I have someone to see there. He has the next clue which might bring us closer to ending the Aoi organization."

Old Tiger drew his breath in and Spider who had insisted on driving clenched the wheel of the car.

Spider stepped on the gas driving just one mark right below the necessary speed limit. If possible, he would be driving at the fastest possible speed to get to the house as quickly as possible.

"Boss, is that what you have been working on lately?" old tiger asked her curiously.

"Mmm," she nodded. "I was not ready to announce this little mile stone before ascertaining the half-baked information I had. I am ninety percent sure that I am on the right track now and I am only missing one vital piece of information."

"Boss, you should have told us earlier so that we could assist you in any way possible. This is a dangerous organization, if something were to happen..." He was still talking when she cut him off.

"I think you are undermining my strength old tiger, maybe we should have another sparring session."

In their last sparring session, she had brutally kicked his ass all over the gym. When it came to physical strength, she was stronger than all of them. Old tiger somehow kept forgetting that fact.

"You won’t listen to me no matter what I say." Old tiger sighed.

"I think you know the answer to that. By the way, why haven’t I met bear yet?"
