Chapter 297

A semi-transparent figure was the first to float out of the comb!

"Hey old man, why are you shaking me like that? You woke me up! Is the young mistress and the others back?"

Young Madam?

Shi Wenfu coughed lightly, "Why were you in the comb?"

A cold, indifferent voice suddenly came from behind, startling Shao Nian.

He turned around in surprise, noticing the strong aura emanating from him.

Their souls and bodies trembled like sieves!

"I...I'm a domesticated animal now. You can't just take me in like that!" Shao Nian trembled as he hid behind a pillar, unaware of his current situation.

Even if you hide behind the mountain, you can still see clearly!

Noticing the implication in his words, Shi Wenfu subconsciously glanced towards the second floor. "Family-raised? Who raised you? An Jiuxi?"

Shao Nian nodded.

Shi Wenfu's face darkened as he couldn't help but recall what had happened at No. 89.

An Yuwei's words...

Shi Wenfu's sharp gaze swept over the soul before him, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

Could it be that An Jiuxi really keeps ghosts as pets?

"Did you and An Jiuxi sign any contract or agreement?" Shi Wenfu gathered spiritual energy in his palm under the table and stared at Shao Nian with a serious look.

Once the other party reveals what they signed, he will absolutely not hold back!

Shao Nian thought about it carefully, then his eyes lit up. "I helped the young mistress find a feng shui master, and she burned things for me. Doesn't that count as signing a contract?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Wenfu withdrew his spiritual energy.

I started to wonder who this feng shui master he was talking about was.

"What kind of Feng Shui master?"

Shao Nian blinked. "It's the same feng shui master from the flower and plant market that Xiao Die was with. That old man isn't a good person. He trapped the people who died in the fire in a yin-gathering formation. I don't know what he's trying to do."

Yin Gathering Formation!

For some reason, Shi Wenfu thought of the illegal pills recently seized by the Special Administration Bureau.

Could it be that there's some connection between the two?

"who are you?"

The woman's questioning voice brought Shi Wenfu back to his senses. He subconsciously looked at Shao Nian and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other had already crawled into the sandalwood comb.

He turned around and recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

Le Xiaotong's furrowed brows instantly relaxed upon seeing the man's face.

Completely changing her arrogant demeanor, she gracefully stepped aside and asked, "Are you here to see An Jiuxi?"

Le Xiaotong had just woken up and naturally had no idea what had happened.

Seeing that the man was dressed in expensive clothes and that his appearance and demeanor suggested he was from high society, she tentatively asked him a question.

"No."

Shi Wenfu answered silently and got up to leave.

Le Xiaotong was taken aback, then quickly caught up. "I don't know your name? I'm Le Xiaotong, a popular actress, and also Master Jin's childhood sweetheart."

The phrase "childhood sweethearts" slowed Shi Wenfu's pace.

For some reason, the thought of Jin Yize being surrounded by his childhood sweetheart makes me feel that he is not good enough for An Jiuxi!

This strange feeling flashed through my mind for only a moment before being suppressed by Shi Wenfu.

He has no relation to An Jiuxi, even if she looks like his aunt...

"The Essay on Contemporary Literature"

Seeing the man leave quickly after saying a few words, Le Xiaotong stood there stunned, her eyes filled with surprise.

As far as she knew, Shi Wenfu was the fourth son of the Shi family in the capital!

At such a young age, he's already the deputy director of a special department in the capital; he'll be the director someday!

Le Xiaotong's eyes flashed with a strange light as she looked at the man's tall and imposing figure, and other thoughts began to stir within her.

If Jin Yize refuses to have her, then Wenfu might be a good alternative!
