Luo Yusheng raised an eyebrow, surprised that the woman was even more impatient than expected.

She sat opposite the woman and calmly took the necklace out of her handbag.

Why are you in such a hurry to get it?

During their conversation that day, the woman kept insisting on meeting in person the next day.

Out of concern, Luo Yusheng insisted that it could only be three days later.

When a woman sees a necklace, she's like a cat seeing a fish; her eyes light up, and she immediately picks it up to examine it closely.

"Where did you get this necklace?"

After observing for a while, the woman looked up and glanced at Luo Yusheng with suspicion.

Faced with the doubts, Luo Yusheng did not panic.

She had prepared her explanation before she arrived.

"I found this in my home warehouse a while ago. It wasn't very useful, so I put it up for sale."

The woman looked away with a hint of disbelief, without answering Luo Yusheng's question.

She turned around and took out a wad of cash from her crossbody bag.

"Not a single penny is missing. Please check."

Luo Yusheng glanced at the amount of cash in the stack and shook her head: "No need, I trust you."

Seeing how much she trusted him, the woman held back her words.

As Luo Yusheng watched her hurried departure, a heavy weight settled in her heart.

Even though the woman hid it very well, she still managed to discover some clues.

Before she came in, Luo Yusheng saw the woman from earlier talking face to face with the woman from that night, her facial expressions fluctuating greatly.

When Luo Yusheng pushed open the coffee shop door, the woman immediately noticed her and quickly walked away.

Thinking of this, Luo Yusheng took a sip of her iced Americano.

The sour and bitter taste filled her mouth, which made her feel much more awake.

Now that we can confirm that the necklace is related to a woman, as long as we follow the trail, we will definitely be able to find out the mysterious mastermind behind Ji Tingxiao.

Luo Yusheng went to the coffee shop alone to sort out the relationships between the group and decided that she should start with Ji Tingxiao.

She made a point of meeting Ji Tingxiao before leaving get off work.

"Sheng Sheng, is there something you want to say?"

Seeing Luo Yusheng's hesitant expression, Ji Tingxiao asked curiously.

With that, Luo Yusheng blurted out, "Do you still stand by what you said last time?"

It took Ji Tingxiao a while to realize the meaning behind her words.

"Of course it counts!"

After get off work, he excitedly took Luo Yusheng back to his home.

"I didn't expect you to like my cooking so much. You can come over and eat whenever I have time!"

Ji Tingxiao looked excited, and Luo Yusheng also pretended to look very expectant.

Her trick worked! If she could secretly find some useful information on Ji Tingxiao's phone, it would be twice as effective!

The doorbell suddenly rang. Ji Tingxiao was in the bathroom and called out, "Shengsheng, the dishes I ordered have arrived. Go and get them."

Luo Yusheng got up, and as soon as she opened the door, she froze on the spot.

Isn't the little guy in front of me the boy I met once before?

Behind him stood a tall and meticulous man.

Where is Mr. Ji?

Luo Yusheng subconsciously took a step back: "He's not available right now. I can do anything for him."

The next second, the man pushed the little boy next to him into the house.

"Please take good care of the young master, Mr. Ji."

Young master?!

Luo Yusheng was startled when she heard this title and frantically searched her memory to see which family's young master this was.

As soon as the man left, Ji Tingxiao came out of the bathroom.

Upon seeing the little boy, he instantly panicked.

"How will you be here?!"

"Where's your mother?!"

His large hand gripped the little boy's shoulder, the force of which he couldn't control due to his excitement.

Luo Yusheng was worried that he would hurt the other person, so she quickly advised, "You should let him go!"

Ji Tingxiao then realized his lapse in composure and immediately looked up to explain earnestly.

"Sheng Sheng, don't misunderstand. This is my cousin's child. Sometimes when my cousin is busy, she leaves the child with me to take care of him."

If the man hadn't revealed his identity beforehand, Luo Yusheng might have actually believed his story.

Seeing Ji Tingxiao spouting nonsense, she felt a surge of mockery in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged.

"is it?"

"Perhaps this is fate. I happened to run into this little boy after I left your place that day."

Upon hearing Luo Yusheng's words, Ji Tingxiao's heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

In other words, Luo Yusheng had already met the young master?!

Wasn't what he just said a slap in his own face?!

Luo Yusheng's lips curled slightly, and she added slowly, "So the world is so small, you're all family."

Ji Tingxiao breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pinch the little boy's chubby cheeks.

"If you're willing, you can be family with him too."

Luo Yusheng didn't answer. Instead, she lowered her head and led the little boy to the television, intending to play some cartoons for him.

No matter how they asked, the little boy refused to speak.

Just as Luo Yusheng was wondering, Ji Tingxiao came out of the kitchen: "Shengsheng, to be honest, my little nephew had a fever when he was a child and can't speak now."

Luo Yusheng's eyes widened involuntarily; it turned out the boy was mute.

A hint of pity crept into her eyes as she looked at the boy.

After watching TV for a while, the little boy became restless and uneasy.

Confused, Luo Yusheng tentatively asked, "Don't you want to watch TV anymore?"

The little boy nodded without hesitation and looked at her phone on the table.

Luo Yusheng was hesitating whether to let him play with it, but then she suddenly remembered her purpose for today.

So she gave the little boy some instructions and then opened the kitchen door.

"what happened?"

Hearing the sound behind him, Ji Tingxiao turned around abruptly.

"My child wants to play on the phone, but unfortunately, my phone doesn't have enough memory to download anything."

Since Luo Yusheng had said so, Ji Tingxiao felt embarrassed to refuse and unlocked his phone to take it out.

Back in the living room, Luo Yusheng quickly shoved her phone into the little boy's hand.

Her entire explanation was aimed at getting her hands on Ji Tingxiao's phone.

Both of their phones were the same model; unless you looked closely, you couldn't tell them apart.

Time was of the essence, and Luo Yusheng had to act quickly.

She clicked into Ji Tingxiao's social media and glanced through it, but didn't find any suspicious people.

Even Song Qianqian's chat box was below a bunch of news information.

I glanced at the date; the last time we contacted each other was half a month ago.

Remembering the "boss" they were talking about, Luo Yusheng quickly searched for him in the contact list.
