"What is that sound?" She turned her head like a metal detector, searching for the source of the sound.

Ming Xue Mo's heart nearly stopped beating from the shock.

While she was paying attention to the direction of Aunt Yun's eyes, she was quickly thinking of a way to resolve the crisis in front of her. At the same time, she was silently asking Gu Zi in her heart: "Big Brother Gu, what are you doing?"

Although she couldn't hear what she was thinking, he could imagine her current state of mind. Not to mention her, even he felt a sense of anxiety that she had never felt in thirty years. If Aunt Yun had opened the door of the bookcase, the scene would have been marvelous. The way he was now, he couldn't even get close to being honest in the slightest.

He could vaguely hear Aunt Yun's footsteps getting closer and closer.

Mingxue's eyes were wide open as she watched Aunt Yun walk towards the bookcase. Her heart skipped a beat and her mind was in a knot. She could think of no other way but to mutter incessantly, "Amitabha, God Mary, don't let Aunt Yun find Gu's question …"

The various Daoist Immortals seemed to have heard her prayers. When Aunt Yun was just five steps away from the bookcase, the doorbell suddenly rang downstairs.

At that moment, Ming Xue Mo felt like she had just survived a disaster.

Aunt Yun was still suspicious, but she turned around and headed for the door. "Miss, I'll go down and see who it is."

"Alright." Ming Xue Mo adjusted her expression a second before she turned around and asked calmly.

Aunt Yun left.

Ming Xue Mo pricked up her ears and heard her go downstairs. She then got off the bed and carefully opened the door with her bare feet. She hid behind the pillar and peeked at who had saved her.

The person was still outside the door. Ming Xue Mo couldn't see his appearance, but she heard him say, "Butler Yun, let's check the electrical circuits."

"Come in." Only then did Aunt Yun open the door.

Two middle-aged men in blue overalls with canvas bags on their backs came in, and Aunt Yun led them to the power station.

Ming Xue Mo didn't know how long they would take to overhaul it for, so she could only race back to her room, lock the door first, then rush to her bookcase, "Hu la — —" She opened the door.

The first thing that greeted her was Gu Zi's shiny black shoes.

To her surprise, Ming Xue Mo didn't despise its heavy taste, she only pouted and complained: "You're still in the mood for a prank at such a time?"

Gu Zi wanted to ask, "What kind of prank would cause you to commit suicide?" In the end, Ming Xue Mo refused to give him a chance to speak. She took the shoes from his hands and put them on the ground, saying urgently, "Quickly put them on, you can't hide from this place anymore."

Gu Zi's actions were slightly slower than she had requested. She even helped him put on his shoes.

Although he had grown up among women, he had never enjoyed the treatment of wearing shoes for a lady ever since the day he had learned how to do it himself. At this moment, Ming Xue Mo's slender fingers were holding his ankles, as if she was facing an old man who couldn't even take care of himself. She twisted her shoes left and right as she placed them on his feet, and he suddenly thought of something that wasn't quite appropriate: You raise me, I raise you old … Hmm, this eldest daughter is worth raising.

Just as he felt touched, Ming Xue Mo pulled him up and said, "Wear it yourself, quickly."

Gu Zi's identity instantly turned into a lonely old man who had no one to support him. His mood was as cold as his soles of his feet.

After pulling him out of the bookcase, she impatiently said, "I'll go down and check out the situation later. Look at my gestures, if it's safe, then you should hurry up and leave, do you understand?"

Gu Zi asked with his shoulders hanging down. If he could enter without making a sound, he could leave without alerting anyone. That was just an accident …

However, he also understood her worry. For a girl of her age, it would only be worrisome if she dared to bring a man home with her in public.

"Got it, got it." Gu Zi asked for instructions on everything. Really, he had been to so many places, there was no place more thrilling than her home!

Mingxue and Momo had been barefoot the entire time, so they quietly walked down the stairs. Gu Zi Wen helplessly followed behind her. When she moved, he moved his feet. If she didn't move, he also didn't move.

With great effort, her back was completely soaked. Mingxue finally reached the first floor, and with her back facing Gu Zi, she made a pause gesture, stretching out her neck to see what Aunt Yun was doing now, if she would suddenly come out.

The two maintenance workers seemed to have discovered some hidden danger. Aunt Yun was discussing with them about how to get rid of these hidden dangers. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to come out for the time being.

Mingmei quickly turned her head and gestured "OK" to Gouzi.

Gu Zi Wen received her orders and followed her instructions to prepare to leave. However, he wanted to choose his own escape route. He took a few steps forward and arrived at the window. He pushed it open and jumped down from the second floor.

Ahh!" Of course, her high-pitched voice had successfully lured Aunt Yun out of the electrical room.

"What's the matter, miss?" Aunt Yun asked nervously as she walked quickly into the living room.

It was impossible to hide the fear in her eyes. Most residential buildings had a height of three meters, and the first floor of her house was even higher than that of ordinary apartments. He didn't do any protective measures, and didn't even look at the topography of the land outside, jumping down from a height of three to four meters, would he fall to the ground and become a cripple? Or could it be worse than being crippled?

Aunt Yun saw that she was standing there in a daze, her face that was previously as red as a drunk shrimp had now turned transparent white. She was extremely worried, "Miss?"

Mingxue suddenly came back to her senses and faced Aunt Yun's questioning face. She was worried that Gu Zi might be injured, but also afraid that Aunt Yun would see through her, so she stuttered for the first time in her life, "Yes …" Yes... "Mice …"

"Mouse?" Aunt Yun was skeptical of her words. She was responsible for cleaning the house every day. If there really was a mouse, she would be the first one to discover it.

She always felt that the Miss was odd today. In the past, whenever she was ill, she had always been in a particularly low mood, and others had always been indifferent to her words. It would have been great if she could reply with three sentences, but this time, whenever she asked a question, she would answer it.

She looked around the living room vigilantly. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She then looked in the direction of the door, which was also tightly shut. It didn't look like anyone had come in or gone out. However, Aunt Yun still felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

"Yes." Ming Xue Mo nodded heavily. Only when she bent her head down did she realize that she had forgotten to wear her shoes. To prevent Aunt Yun from being suspicious, she decided to make the first move. "It started in my room and came into the living room just now."

In this way, it was understandable why there was such a noise in her room, why she had suddenly come downstairs, and why she did not wear shoes.

Although Aunt Yun had some doubts in her heart, she could not help but believe her. After all, in her mind, Mingxue Mo was a good child who would never lie.

"After the maintenance workers have left, I will go out to buy rat poison. You should hurry back to your room to rest as the cold has not recovered yet, and it will be even harder for your feet to get a cold."

Ming Xue Mo carefully selected an expression that said "with sorrow in her heart", then nodded in fear, "En …"

Aunt Yun looked at her pale face and patted her on the back, urging her to hurry upstairs. She felt the wetness behind her back and said with a pained heart, "Look at you, you're sweating all over."

The suspicion faded accordingly.

Mingxue lightly nodded and walked upstairs timidly. After taking two steps, she intentionally glanced back at the tea table, as if a mouse had slipped under it.

Aunt Yun's doubts were further dispelled by this action. She watched her enter the room before re-entering the electrical distribution room, and urged the two workers to speed up their pace.

Ming Xue Mo went straight back to her bedroom, she didn't dare go to the window and ask Gu Zi if she was alright. Although she kept telling herself that Gu Zi would definitely be fine, she was still scared, what if she saw a bloody scene? As an underworld young master, he must have experienced all sorts of storms and also faced many dangers. He definitely knew how to protect himself, but the most she could accept was fighting, not running away!

Ye Zichen quickly took out his phone from under his pillow and called him.

When she found the number that Gu Zi asked for, Mingxue Mou realized that it wasn't right. If his phone rang in her yard, it would be easy for her to find out. If he had been discovered by Aunt Yun, wouldn't that be the best way to slap their faces?

No, it's better to send a message on WeChat.

Ming Xue Mo quickly opened her WeChat, found Hello Kitty, and quickly typed: "Brother Gu, are you alright?"

Send.

He held his breath and concentrated on waiting for Gu Zi's reply.

One second, two seconds, three seconds … Ming Xue Mo had already counted to ten seconds, but there was still no movement from her phone. Suddenly, an unprecedented feeling of fear rose in her heart … Could it be that something really happened to him?

He didn't have time to worry about that anymore. He grabbed his phone, opened the door, and ran to the window where Gu Qishao had jumped. He anxiously stuck his head out and looked down.

Under the window was a row of carefully trimmed grape arbors. Uncle Zhong was normally very meticulous with his work, and every single vine and leaf was like a work of art, perfectly preserved. As a result, the new hole became apparent at first glance.

However, there was no one on the ground.

How is Big Brother Gu?

Ming Xue Mo was so anxious that she wanted to stomp her feet. At that moment, her phone made a "ding" sound, and Gu Zi's reply came. But he didn't say a word. He just sent her a picture of him half lying in the car he used to drive, and it looked like it was taken with a beauty camera.

Mingxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was about to die from anxiety, yet he was still in a good mood!
