Chapter 27: 027: Is someone dead or what?

Considering the acupuncture points she was massaging, it confirmed that she was something who had studied medicine, and an expert at that.

A hacker who was also a medical expert!

This sort of woman would usually be on top of the pyramid. No one would dare to look down on her and there would be a lot of powerful people who would want her. Such a woman shouldn’t be a person who was short on money.

Plus, she definitely wouldn’t be a person who would be dumb enough to marry a quadriplegic because of her family and boyfriend.

He didn’t even think that it was because this woman had liked him and was trying to help him, especially since she had been dating another man for the past 2 years.

That was her first love.

Then…

It must be that there is something that Jing Qian needed from him, which is why she decided to help, right?

Other than this, Zhan Lichuan couldn’t think of any other possibilities.

In fact, this was great.

He was curious as to whether her medical skills were as surprising as her hacking skills.

If it was and he could help her out, why not do so?

However, the woman’s breath on his face and the faint, sweet scent that was different from the others kept Zhan Lichuan awake all night.

******

“Knock, knock, knock!”

In a deep sleep, she could faintly hear the sound of someone knocking on her door.

However, Jing Qian frowned and irritably covered her head with a blanket.

About ten seconds later, the knocking sound continued, still able to be heard even while under the blanket.

Jing Qian continued ignoring it and stayed hidden.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

The knocking sound on the door sounded without any hesitation for the third time.

“Young mistress.”

This time, along with the knocking sound, there were people calling for her as well.

“Sh*t the f**k up! Is someone dead or what?!”

Jing Qian’s face was dark as she pulled down the blanket and reached for the clock that was placed by the bedside. It was as big as her palm and made of a rare, golden material. She picked it up and threw it against the door.

Butler Xu, who was standing right outside, heard her loud cry.

The people around the door were all shocked by it. When they went closer to the door and were about to say something else, they heard two loud bangs.

The first one was the sound of the door almost breaking, and the second was the sound of a heavy object being dropped onto the floor.

The sudden violence caused Butler Xu to shudder in fear and immediately stand in a position that made it seem as if he was ready to fight.

Master Zhan, who was standing by the side, was shocked.

“Ehm, Master Zhan… It looks like the Young Mistress may be having some trouble getting out of bed,” Butler Xu said with an awkward expression.

The poor man was already an elder in his fifties and could no longer withstand fright. When he was a few years younger, he was a strong, courageous man, incapable of being frightened.

When Master Zhan saw the frightened look on Butler Xu’s face, he instructed him, “When she gets out of bed, bring her to the study so that she can explain herself.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Just as Master Zhan was about to leave, the door in front of them opened.

Jing Qian, who was dressed in a white bathrobe, stood in front of them like an innocent kitten who just woken up.

“Grandfather, morning! Butler Xu, morning!” Jing Qian cheerfully greeted her “boss” and Butler Xu, who was authoritative, with a bright, vigorous smile.

Butler Xu and Master Zhan, who smiled slightly, were both rendered speechless.

Her reaction was very different from the one from before, making it extremely difficult for Master Zhan to start the topic that he had planned to discuss.

Chapter 28: 028: Why did he think “again”?

Jing Qian first looked at the door with the hole in it, and then the wooden floor. She picked up the clock, which already died, and said with a depressed face, “Oh no, it broke. I’m… I’m so sorry grandfather. I have a habit of sleepwalking, which was what happened just now.”

Master Zhan was puzzled, while Butler Xu simply thought, ‘I’ll just sit back and watch your performance.’

Jing Qian explained to Master Zhan, an apologetic look on her face, “The truth is that I was dreaming that my sister had been kidnapped and we were attempting to save her with the help of the police. My dad had already sneaked into the enemy’s territory along with the police and had told my sister to keep quiet.

“However, she decided to scream for help, and in order to save her, my dad was severely injured due to one of the kidnappers. I was very angry, which is why I screamed at her. I picked up a brick that was beside me and threw it towards the kidnapper.

“Then, I heard a loud noise, which woke me up. That was when I realized that I must have been sleepwalking and really threw something at the door. By the time I came back to my senses, I heard Butler Xu calling for me. Grandfather, I’m so sorry.”

With that, Jing Qian looked at her “boss” with guilt.

Ayyyy…

In her previous life, she was born to reign. She had the habit of challenging others who looked down on her. From her birth till her death, she wasn’t afraid of anything or anyone. Even if it was her “boss,” she would still keep her head held high.

But for now…

She had no money, no status, and no skills.

The only place where she could challenge someone would probably be the morgue, to see if anyone dared to breath with her around.

As she thought about her depressing life, Jing Qian looked at Master Zhan with an even more sincere look.

Just now, she was still drossy and had forgotten who she was now. There was a moment where she thought she was still sleeping in her villa and one of the servants were brave enough to wake her up, but the loud noise had woken her up and she immediately opened the door.

When Butler Xu saw her explaining with a sincere look, he decided to still believe what she said.

For a woman like her, who was willing to sacrifice for her family, it showed that she cared a lot about them.

So… Young Mistress should be telling the truth, right?

But… Why did he feel like he was being played again?

Hmm?

Why did he think “again”?

While Butler Xu was trying to remember when he had been played before this, Master Zhan had already moved onto the main topic.

“Qianqian, I heard from Butler Xu that you asked for rats yesterday?”

From Master Zhan’s point of view, he didn’t care much about Jing Qian’s personality, character, talent, education, or whether she sleepwalked. The only thing that was important to him was that she wouldn’t harm his grandson.

“Yup, that’s right,” Jing Qian replied with an obedient smile.

When Master Zhan saw her being so compliant, his heart slowly calmed down, continuing to ask, “Why did you ask for all these rats? Where did you put them?”

“I placed them at the balcony and the greenhouse near the third young master’s room.”

Since Jing Qian was still answering him with an upright smile, Master Zhan did feel unhappy about those words, still willing to give her a chance to explain herself.

“There must be a reason why you did it, right?”

“Of course,” Jing Qian nodded her head and moved to one side. “Grandfather, please come in. I’ll bring you there to see the rats.”

Master Zhan had no idea what she was doing, but since this matter involved Ah Chuan, no matter what it was, he wanted answers to it.
