At the same time in a courtyard on the eastern side:
The bright moon hung above while several simple dishes laid on a small rectangular table that sat under the shadow of a tree. The food had turned cold already but it was completely untouched.
A man had just finished showering and slowly walked toward the table in his loose pajamas. His gaze was fixed to some point in the sky and his expression was dazed, as though he'd traversed through time and fallen into some distant memory...
On a wall overgrown with moss, a girl dressed in clothes redder than fire brazenly and arrogantly invaded his world...
"What? You're saying no one likes you? That's too coincidentalmy name is No One!"
"Unsuitable? Nonexistent! I'm suitable for all occasions!"
"Hey? Can you lend me something? Lend me a kiss, kay? I'll definitely return it to you!"
...
"Ninth Brother... Ninth Brother... Ninth Brother?"
When Lin Que's voice traveled to the man's ears, his absentmindedness instantly transformed into his usual unchanging iciness. "You need something?"
"Ninth Brother, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you for half a day, but you didn't answer!" Lin Que grumbled quietly before answering, "I've arranged to have people look into those missing people's whereabouts!"
"En."
Lin Que sighed with resignation. He just knew Ninth Brother absolutely wouldn't ignore tasks that Ye Wanwan took on.
"Oh right, there's another matter I have to report to you..." Lin Que was about to continue his report when his gaze coincidentally landed on Si Yehan and he jolted in fright. "Sh*t, Ninth Brother! What happened to your body?"
"What?" Si Yehan turned to Lin Que with confusion.
Lin Que was shocked as he stared at the exposed area near Si Yehan's collar. Red lines densely covered the skin under his neck like a spider web.
