Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

"My two former teammates, can I ask what's going on now?"

Tao Tao took a few steps closer to Jiang Heng. That guy named Sheng Wei clearly wasn't the type to give her information.

Jiang Heng immediately understood what Tao Tao meant. He had thought that he was the only one who had been forcibly chosen, but now he suddenly felt a little more at ease.

He shrugged, looking helpless. "Since we're on different sides, we won't share information."

After saying that, he waved to Wei Shenglan, "Brother, let's go look for clues in other places."

Jiang Heng wanted to see if there was anything special about the place where Leo had appeared last night.

Wei Shenglan nodded and walked in his direction. Tao Tao watched their backs and pouted, thinking, "So what if you have a partner?"

Qi Nan stood there, looked once more at the lifeless flowerbed, and finally decided to return to the castle to look for other clues.

Now that they are now on Ang's side, the other side might give them some hints.

Deep within the flower bushes, Jiang Heng roughly delineated an area based on her memory from the previous night.

“Leo suddenly appeared here last night. The black hibiscus around him was in full bloom, growing just like the one that’s stuck to my window.” Jiang Heng looked around, then leaned closer and whispered, “Do you think Leo might be buried underground?”

The real and the fake count... He only appears at night, and in such a strange way, it's hard not to suspect that he's dead.

"It's possible, but we probably shouldn't dig it ourselves."

"Why..." Jiang Heng hadn't finished speaking when Wei Shenglan reached out and pinched her lips. Looking up, she saw his gaze fixed on her back.

Jiang Heng grabbed Wei Shenglan's wrist, freeing her mouth from his grasp. Turning around, she saw Iser walking towards them with a pair of pruning shears.

"These are the few flowers that are growing the best in this area, why cut them off?"

Jiang Heng watched Isher a few steps away, gesturing with flower shears, and felt somewhat curious. Ang had sent someone over precisely to fix the wilting flowers, so why was Isher insisting on cutting off perfectly healthy blooms?

With swift, decisive movements, Isser cut off the two half-open black buckwheat flowers. As the flowers fell to the ground, he turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips, clearly in a good mood.

"This guest, you're cutting it off so they can grow better. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Jiang Heng stared at his departing figure, his steps light and quick, seemingly in a very good mood. Why? Her gaze inadvertently drifted downwards, and she noticed that the two flowers that had just been cut off had been crushed into the soil by his leather shoes, becoming part of the fertilizer.

Wei Shenglan was also staring at the broken petals on the ground. "Even if it were for the better growth of these flowers, a butler who is loyal to the Earl would never, and would not, treat the Earl's beloved flowers like this."

The two exchanged a glance and said at the same time, "These aren't Ang's flowers!"

If these flowers didn't belong to Ang, then they must belong to Leo. The deliberate cutting of these flowers must have a deeper meaning; what connection do these flowers have with Leo, and will they have any impact on him?

"Now we can only wait until tonight to see if Leo will show up."

......

On Qi Nan's side, he and Tao Tao had just entered the castle when a servant called them to a stop.

"Distinguished guests, the Earl has something to discuss with you."

Qi Nan glanced at Tao Tao, and the two followed the servant up to the third floor.

Halfway up the walk, Qi Nan suddenly spoke up: "Last night, I heard a lot of noise coming from next door, which kept me awake. Besides me and my partner, who else lives on the second floor?"

The servant seemed startled by the question, shrinking back slightly. He shook his head and hurriedly said, "This is not something you, sir, should know."

Qi Nan pondered this sentence for a moment, then continued to ask, "Can I change rooms tonight?"

The servant nodded. "Guests can stay in any empty room."

Tao Tao suddenly interjected, "Then I want to stay in room 211."

The servant suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Tao Tao with a stern face. "Guest, only empty rooms are available."

Tao Tao patted her forehead apologetically and gave a sweet smile. "Ah, I remembered wrong. Then I'll stay in 212."

The servant said nothing more and continued to lead the way.

Qi Nan and Tao Tao felt a chill run down their spines. How could someone be staying in Liu Ying's room? Who moved in?

On the second-floor corridor, Jiang Heng stood in front of room 209, raising her hand to touch the raised bump on the small wooden sign. The housekeeper only said not to wake the sleeping animals after the lights were turned off, but didn't say anything about not being able to during the day.

He turned to look at Wei Shenglan, a smile playing on his lips. "I pressed it?"

Before Wei Shenglan could answer, his smile widened, and he pressed his fingertips firmly against the protrusion.

Beneath the protrusion in the middle of the wooden sign, the spherical object rolled rapidly, then suddenly opened its eyes with a "whoosh," its blood-red eyeballs meeting Jiang Heng's smiling gaze.

Jiang Heng leaned closer in surprise. "It really is an eye." He waved at the eye, looking friendly. "Good morning, want to be friends?"

The eye stared intently at him for a moment, then shifted its angle to look at Wei Shenglan, before finally closing slowly.

Jiang Heng was speechless: "If you can't speak properly, at least blink! What's with closing your eyes like that?"

He raised his hand and pressed on the wooden sign a few more times, but after confirming that it was an eyeball, he lightened his pressure.

Wei Shenglan noticed this subtle change, and his expression softened slightly.

Annoyed by being poked, the eyes opened again, as if understanding Jiang Heng's words. They rolled around rapidly a few times, blinked sharply, and finally closed slowly as if extremely sleepy.

Jiang Heng: "......"

886: "This eyeball looks so fun, I want it."

Jiang Heng paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "You can't have that."

He doesn't want an eyeball in his head.

However, since they were certain that the person in the room would not appear during the day, Jiang Heng and Wei Shenglan could only wait until nightfall to verify their guess.

He strolled along behind Wei Shenglan, and as the other opened his door and went inside, he turned and stepped inside as well.

"Anything else?"

Wei Shenglan stopped closing the door and stood blocking it, looking down at Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng's mind raced. She braced herself against the door and said, "I want to see the full-length mirror in your room."

Last night, Jiang Heng simply turned the full-length mirror around and didn't encounter the situation Wei Shenglan described, which made him quite curious.

Wei Shenglan's hand on the doorknob twitched slightly, and he still opened the door.

In the room, the full-length mirror still faced the wall.

886 looked utterly bewildered, exclaiming, "He actually made the mirror face the wall too!"

Jiang Heng chuckled softly; this system would deduct sugar from her drink.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Jiang Heng recalled all the information he had received last night and this morning. He tentatively asked, "Do you think if the mirror reflects both of us tonight, will the thing in the mirror increase or malfunction?"

Wei Shenglan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. This man's ideas were always so novel, from poking out eyes to the two of them looking in a mirror—these were angles he had never considered. But it was definitely worth a try.

"Let's try it tonight."
