Chapter 48

An Jiuxi nodded.

The eyelids of the two staff members twitched violently.

"Little girl..."

An Jiuxi didn't give them a chance to finish speaking, interrupting them directly, "If you want to know if I'm talking nonsense, just dig it up and take a look, won't that be enough?"

Jin Yize gave Lu Huaisang a look.

Lu Huaisang turned around and went to borrow digging tools from nearby residents.

Chi Anruo bit her lip. "Aze, Miss An is young and doesn't understand things. Why are you going along with her nonsense? After receiving the report, the staff must have conducted a thorough search of the villa immediately. If the soil here had been disturbed and something had been buried, how could they not have noticed?"

Upon hearing this, the two staff members walked over to the rose bushes, squatted down, and examined them carefully.

There were indeed no signs of it being disturbed.

It seems this little girl is just trying to attract attention.

Using this method to gain attention is simply outrageous.

The staff member's face darkened. "Young lady, don't blame me for not warning you. If you can't find anything in a little while, I really will take you back on charges of obstructing official business."

Hearing this, An Jiuxi didn't even frown.

She turned her head to look around expectantly, not taking his words to heart at all.

Soon, Lu Huaisang returned with several shovels he had borrowed.

Two staff members, one for each.

The head of the teaching department and Chi Beimu also received a share.

Chi Anruo almost screamed uncontrollably when she saw the shovel being shoved into her hand.

She twitched her lips. "Why are you giving me this?"

Lu Huaisang said, "Many hands make light work! If someone is really buried down there, the sooner we dig them out, the sooner we can rescue them."

"Oh no," she asked with genuine sincerity, "Miss Chi, don't you want to save people?"

Chi Anruo, "..."

She pointed at An Jiuxi, her tone already quite harsh, "What I mean is, why do I have to dig, but she doesn't?"

Lu Huaisang said matter-of-factly, "Our young mistress has such delicate skin, how could she do such rough work? Besides, she's still a child!"

Chi Anruo, "..."

An Jiuxi has delicate skin and tender flesh, so is she just thick-skinned and tough?

But her resentful glare nearly killed Lu Huaisang, and he showed no sign of changing his mind.

He picked up a shovel and started digging.

In order to prove as soon as possible that An Jiuxi was lying, the staff also picked up shovels and joined the digging team.

The dean of students wanted to maintain his status, after all, he was in charge of most of the school. If word got out that he was digging in the dirt here, how could he maintain his position in the school in the future?

But with just a casual glance from Jin Yize, he couldn't resist grabbing a shovel and rushing to help.

Chi Beimu seemed the least interested. When he picked up the shovel to help, he told Chi Anruo, "Auntie, you don't need to go. A few of us men are enough."

Chi Anruo was so moved that she almost cried.

Sure enough, my little nephew is the most considerate.

Four or five big men quickly uprooted the entire patch of roses.

The moment those roots were fully exposed to the air, the once vibrant roses withered and rotted in the blink of an eye.

Even the lush green leaves have dried up and fallen to the ground, forming a thick layer.

The rich fragrance vanished, replaced by a strange, fishy stench that filled the air.

It's like... the smell of something completely rotting.

Chi Anruo took a sniff, her face turned pale, and she suddenly felt dizzy and swayed.

Chi Beimu reacted quickly and caught her, "Auntie, are you alright?"

Upon skin contact, a warm and cool sensation seeped into Chi Anruo's heart.
