Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All of Shen Zihao’s energy was drained away as he stood there, staring wide-eyed in shock at the two people before him .
His heart was pounding so hard that he thought it would burst .
He kept silent and listened carefully to the conversation between them .
The butler said, “Madam, Young Master is beginning to find clues! I’m not sure what happened, but he has suspicions around this matter now . ”
Upon hearing this, Mei Feng frowned . “How did that happen? Did you give away something?”
The butler immediately hung his head and said, “No, I can guarantee that I haven’t . But Young Master suddenly started meddling in this matter . I think he already has an idea of what happened . ”
Mei Feng took in a deep breath and said after a moment, “This has become troublesome then . Go talk to Xiao Bao . If it comes to the worst, tell him to own up . Let him know that I’ll take care of his family . ”
The butler nodded immediately .
Mei Feng frowned and said unhurriedly after a pause, “No matter what, we must not let Zihao suspect me . Do you understand?”
The butler nodded and said, “Yes . ”
Mei Feng turned around and said, “Ok, you may go . ”
The butler turned and left .
Mei Feng, dressed in thin garments, stood on the balcony for a short while . Then she sighed deeply before turning around to leave .
However, just as she was turning around, she suddenly saw a figure in the shadows observing her quietly .
She jumped in fright and reflexively inquired, “Who’s there?”
That aggressive voice was nothing like what Shen Zihao was used to hearing every day .
He was stunned .
He stood there, looking at her in a daze .
The house was in darkness, as the lights had all been turned off .
Only the pale moonlight lit the house’s interior .
Shen Zihao stepped forward, out of the shadows .
He looked towards Mei Feng and said unhurriedly, “It’s me . ”
The moment Mei Feng heard his voice, she froze . Shocked, she started, “Zi- Zihao?”
She widened her eyes, not daring to believe at whom she was looking .
She realized it was him when he walked out of the dark corner, into the dim light of the moon .
The darkness hid the expression on his face . She thought of the conversation that had just taken place… Perhaps luck was on her side and he hadn’t heard anything . “Zihao, why are you still up at this hour? And what are you doing here?”
She hoped that he had not overheard her conversation with the butler .
But alas .
Shen Zihao looked at her steadily and said, “Aunty Mei, I heard everything that you said to the butler . ”
Mei Feng stood frozen and rooted to the ground .
Horrified, she opened her mouth, but she had no explanation ready . She could only take a step towards him hurriedly and grabbed his arm . “Zihao… let- let me explain . ”
Shen Zihao stood there and continued looking at her . “I want an explanation too . Let’s go to the study . ”
–
In the study .
Shen Zihao sat opposite Mei Feng, his expression at once blank and blurry .
As though everything that had happened that night was a dream and he had not yet woken up from it .
He had thought of many possible scenarios around the matter concerning the 50 thousand, but none of these possibilities included Mei Feng being the culprit .
So he was completely stumped .
