âYou went in to take a look alone? How did you climb over such a high wall? Did no one notice?â Hao Ze could not help but ask.
Qin Shu could not explain how high her martial art strength was, so she changed the topic. âDonât worry about this for now. Long Muyan is still in that freezing warehouse. He needs a doctor and a comfortable bed.â
Hao Ze knew that she didnât want to talk about it, so he didnât dwell further. âI canât guarantee that, but I can try.â
âYou try first. If it doesnât work, Iâll go and save him.â
If he didnât want to come out, she could use Ye Luoâs method and knock him out before bringing him out.
Hao Ze was a little surprised by her method of dealing with him. He was also a little stunned: how was she so familiar with Long Muyan even when they just met?
âWhen did you get so close to him? Why are you so worried about him?â
âHeâs a very nice person. Besides, heâs willing to help me unconditionally. To me, that is the same as treating me as a friend. Wouldnât you be worried about a friend?â Qin Shu asked.
Hao Ze asked, âWhat if it were me? If I were locked in there, would you do the same?â
Qin Shu answered straightforwardly, âYes, youâve helped me a lot too.â
The corners of Hao Zeâs mouth curled up. âItâs my honor. Then Iâll pay a visit to the Long Clan and try my best to convince them to release Long Muyan.â
âOkay.â Qin Shu hung up the phone but was still a little worried.
Long Muyanâs sister couldnât be found for some time.
There was no evidence to prove that the Long Xiao at the Long Clan was a fake.
This was the first time Qin Shu had encountered such a difficult problem.
She leaned against the car window and stared at the traffic outside. She wanted to go and meet Long Xiao, even though they had never met before.
She ordered, âGo to the Long Clan.â
Hearing this, Ye Luo drove to the intersection ahead and made an u-turn.
On the way, he passed by a gift shop. Qin Shu bought a box of ginseng, birdâs nest, and other expensive gifts.
When Qing Shu arrived at the Long Manor, she was a little earlier than Hao Ze.
When the Butler saw Qin Shu return, he was puzzled. âMiss Qin, whatâs the matter?â
Qin Shu lifted the gift in her hand and said, âI just heard that the granddaughter of the Leader of Long Clan has returned to her family. Itâs a happy occasion, so I bought some gifts to congratulate her. Maybe itâs a little late. I wonder if Miss Long would like them?â
âMiss Qin, youâre too kind.â the Butler replied as he signaled the servant at the side with his eyes.
The servant had been with the butler for a few years. He immediately understood the meaning behind the look and took a few steps forward.
Qin Shu handed the gift to the servant who was walking over. The servant took the gifts and retreated behind the Butler. She looked at the Butler again. âI want to meet Miss Long. May I have this honor?â
The Butler pondered for a moment and replied, âIâll go and ask the young miss. It depends on whether she wants to meet or not.â
Qin Shuâs lips curled into a faint smile. âThank you for your trouble, Butler.â âPlease follow me, Miss Qin.âThe Butler lowered his head slightly and gestured for her to come in.
Qin Shu followed the butler in.
Ye Luo stood guard outside.
Qin Shu followed the butler for a few moments and arrived at a courtyard.
The Butler stopped and turned to Qin Shu. âPlease wait a moment, Miss Qin. Iâll go and ask the young miss.â
Qin Shu: âOkay.â
The Butler turned around and walked into the courtyard. Qin Shu raised her head and looked at the plaque. There were two words carved on it: Poria cocos.
At this moment, the butler walked out from the courtyard. âMiss Qin, please come in with me.â
Qin Shu looked into the courtyard and followed the butler in.
Qin Shu realized that this courtyard was in the southeast as she walked in. It was in the old house, and this courtyard was where the head of the family lived. Now, Long Xiao lives here. It showed how much Long Size doted on this granddaughter of his.
Not long after, she walked into the living room and saw Long Xiao, the granddaughter of Long Size, who was extremely doted on.
Just a glance at Long Xiao stunned Qin Shu.
âThis is Miss Qin., young miss. She has a business partner of the second master.â The Butler lowered his brows and bowed. After saying that, he left.
Long Xiao looked at Miss Qin that the Butler had mentioned. She was stunned for a few seconds at first, then she smiled and said, âHello, Miss Qin. Itâs only our first meeting, and youâve already spent so much money on gifts. Letâs sit down first, then talk.â
After she finished speaking, she instructed, âGo and make some tea.â
âYes, miss.âThe maid turned around and went to make tea.
Ma
Qin Shu was stunned for a long time before the other party spoke. Only then did she come back to her senses. âMiss Long, itâs a pleasure to meet you.â Then, she walked over and sat down opposite Long Xiao.
She raised her head and looked at Long Xiao opposite her. Countless questions flashed across her eyes. The first question was, why did Long Xiao and Yan Shuang look so similar? They were like twin sisters.
She could not ask until she had figured out the truth.
The maid served the newly brewed tea and placed one cup in front of Qin Shu, the other in front of long Xiao.
Long Xiaoâs smile was gentle and generous. âWhere is Miss Qin from? Would you mind disclosing your name so that we can be friends?â
âIâm from Hua Xia, and my name is Qin Se. Itâs a pleasure to meet Miss Long.â Qin Shu answered in a very formal tone. She subconsciously did not say her real name when she said her name.
Her face had been modified, and her skin color was darker than before. Only people who were particularly familiar with her could recognize
her.
As for Long Xiao in front of her, her facial features resembled Yan Shuang. How was she related to Yan Shuang?
âI can tell that Miss Qin is a very outstanding person. Unlike me, who doesnât have a business to call my own. Iâm rather unsuccessful.â Long Xiao was a little let down at the end of her sentence.
âHow can that be? Youâre talented and smart, Long Xiao. There will be many opportunities for you to show your skills in the future.â
There was nothing harder than socializing, but Qin Shu was able to handle it with ease.
Long Xiao smiled. âIs that so? Miss Qin really knows how to talk. I hope I donât disappoint my grandfatherâs expectations.â âWhere did Miss Long live in the past? There was a saying in Hua Xia: The land nurtures the people living there. Miss Longâs skin is as white as snow. Did you live in the Jiang Nan area? I heard that there are plenty of beautiful women there. I canât even compare to them,â Qin Shu asked casually, not forgetting to mention Long Xiaoâs appearance. âYou can even tell that, Miss Qin?â Long Xiao subconsciously touched her face and looked up at Qin Se. She laughed softly, âMiss Qin is too modest. If your skin were a little fairer, you would definitely be a beauty.â
âHearing Miss Long say that makes me feel better.â
The content of their conversation was very polite and formal, and there was also a probing tone.
Qin Shu chatted with Long Xiao for a while before leaving
Before leaving, Long Xiao said, âItâs nice to chat with Miss Qin. If you have time, you can come over often. We can chat together and go shopping.â
Qin Shu replied, âSure, Iâll definitely come when I have time.â
After leaving the Long Clan, Qin Shu got into the car and wondered why Long Xiao looked so similar to Yan Shuang?
Long Muyan said that she was not his sister and even said it with such conviction. What was his basis?
She looked up at Ye Luo in the driverâs seat and said, âYe Luo, I saw Long Xiao just now. She looks very similar to Yan Shuang.â
âIs it Yan Shuang?â Ye Luo asked.
âI donât know. I saw that her behavior is somewhat different from Yan Shuangâs, but her appearance is really very similar.â
