Yun Miao shivered violently, finally shaking off that cold feeling.
Then, looking at Gu Zhiqi, he tentatively asked, "Miss Gu, did you... lose sothing?"
Hearing Yun Miao’s address to her, Gu Zhiqi frowned slightly but didn’t correct him. She just coldly said to Yun Miao, "My horsetail whisk is missing, have you seen it?"
Yun Miao looked at Gu Zhiqi in this state, feeling a bit stunned.
Why does it feel like Miss Gu is acting strangely, and a bit foolish?
Seeing Yun Miao sitting there dumbfounded and not answering her question, Gu Zhiqi asked again in a cool voice, "Have you seen it? A horsetail whisk, ice white colored."
Yun Miao, hearing her, snapped back to attention.
"Huh? Well, let ... I’ll help you look." Yun Miao said as he started to look around left and right, up and down, finally lifting the tablecloth.
Gu Zhiqi, seeing him in such a flustered state, directly turned and left.
Yun Miao swept the area under the table, but after sweeping it, he still didn’t see any ice white horsetail whisk, so he spoke up, "Miss Gu, it doesn’t seem to be here. Could your horsetail whisk have been left..."
Huh? Where is she?
Where did Miss Gu go?
Where did Miss Gu, such a big person, go?
The rest of Yun Miao’s words got stuck in his throat, and after a while, he suddenly stood up, scanned the room, and, not seeing Gu Zhiqi’s figure, imdiately got up and walked toward the door.
"Miss Gu?"
"Miss Gu."
Yun Miao called out as he walked out of the room.
After opening the room door, he still didn’t see Gu Zhiqi’s figure.
Yun Miao had to simultaneously search for Gu Zhiqi and fumble for his phone to call Su Yunling.
**
Over there, Su Yunling had just co out of the Shadow Pavilion’s surveillance room, and after stepping out, he was ssaging Yun Xin with his head down while walking towards the private room.
[Master: Any news from the tech departnt?]
[Yun Xin: Still decrypting, should have results soon]
After reading the ssage, Su Yunling put his phone away and continued towards the private room with the phone in his hand.
Just now in the surveillance room, Su Yunling learned about one thing, Luo Wu was attacked in the Shadow Pavilion.
The ti he was attacked coincided precisely with the ti the surveillance was deleted.
So, the person who deleted the surveillance video likely wasn’t targeting him, but rather aid to destroy the evidence of beating Luo Wu.
"Ding Dong"
As Su Yunling was thinking about the deleted surveillance, a ssage notification popped up on his phone.
Su Yunling glanced at the phone and saw it was a ssage from Yun Xin, which also ntioned the na "Jiu."
Just as Su Yunling was about to tap the ssage for a closer look, an incoming call notification appeared on the phone screen.
It was from Yun Miao.
Su Yunling pressed to answer, exited the call screen, and opened Yun Xin’s ssage.
"Master, Miss Gu is missing."
"Miss Gu seems a bit off, she kept saying she needs to find the horsetail whisk, now I have no idea where she has gone."
As Yun Miao’s voice ca through the phone, Su Yunling also read Yu Xin’s ssage.
[Yun Xin: The tech departnt says that the way the surveillance was deleted is very similar to Jiu’s thods, it’s very likely Jiu]
Su Yunling stopped in his tracks, ignored Yun Xin’s ssage, and tightened his grip on the phone, asking Yun Miao, "What’s going on?"
"I don’t know either, it’s like Miss Gu suddenly beca a different person, looking cold and a bit dazed, kept addressing herself as ’my lord,’ and asked if I’d seen her horsetail whisk. I thought she dropped it, so I helped her look, but in a flash, Miss Gu was gone."
After hearing Yun Miao’s words, Su Yunling frowned slightly.
Horsetail whisk?
