“No.” i Yan’s gaze carried a hint of aggrievance.
i Jing paused and curiously asked, “Then what is it for?”
i Yan calmly averted his gaze. “Sister doesn’t want him to ddle too much.” He only said this sentence and closed his mouth, looking like he didn’t want to discuss it any further.
i Jing didn’t inquire any further.
Since Sister entrusted i Yan with this task alone, there must be a reason.
Back at the i family, i Yan was worried all the ti. During dinner, he ate so casually to fill his stomach. Then, he changed into inconspicuous black clothes and left the house alone.
i Feng watched his younger brother’s departing figure with so unease, feeling a bit uneasy. “Is it really okay for Yanyan to do it alone?”
i Jing hesitated and said, “How about I quietly follow him from behind?”
i Feng nodded, “Just rember not to be discovered by the Lu family’s bodyguards.”
“I know, i’ll be careful.” i Jing kept a distance from i Yan, secretly following him.
When they approached the Lu family’s vicinity, i Jing finally understood why i Shu assigned this task specifically to i Yan.
The Lu family’s surroundings were heavily guarded, with people stationed everywhere. However, the area outside the backwall, full of fences, was the only place with lax security.
Because it was impossible for anyone to enter that place, the guards wouldn’t deliberately turn there during their patrols.
But this was for ordinary adults.
Compared to the nine-year-old i Yan, those gaps were enough for him to slip through.
i Yan stood outside the iron railing, carefully looking around. Once he confird there was no one, he turned his body sideways and cautiously slipped through.
He patted his chest, nervous to the point where he didn’t dare to take a breath.
Sneaking into soone else’s house was not a common occurrence.
Although i Yan disliked the person he was about to see, this short-lived excitent temporarily made him forget the disgust in his heart.
Bent at the waist, he touched the wall all the way, following i Shu’s rough instructions to find the approximate location of Lu Si’s villa.
The overall area of the Lu family’s estate was large enough to accommodate three i families.
Thanks to i Yan’s recognition of the route and his small stature, he managed to avoid being noticed by anyone.
“Is this even a ho? It’s more like a prison.” He complained softly, pressing against the wall. After catching his breath, he continued looking for an opportunity to sneak into the villa.
As he turned around a corner, he encountered two or three bodyguards head-on.
i Yan was startled and quickly retracted his head.
“Who’s there!” The guards looked at each other warily, holding their stun batons as they approached.
i Yan was anxious, sweating profusely. If he was caught now, his sister’s mission would be in jeopardy!
At this critical mont, with the guards’ footsteps getting closer, i Yan closed his eyes. Enduring the embarrassnt, he reluctantly let out a cat-like ow.
“ow.”
i Yan’s imitation of a cat’s ow was surprisingly lifelike.
The guards imdiately stopped in their tracks, puzzled and suspicious. “Does
Master Si have a cat? Why would there be a cat’s ow near his villa?”
“Maybe it sneaked in from outside? Forget it, it’s just a cat.” The companion, not concerned, relaxed their guard.
But another guard was noticeably more cautious.
“No, I have to go and check. How can there be a stray cat in the villa area?
There must be sothing wrong!” Saying this, the guard picked up the stun baton again and cautiously approached.
i Yan knew he was in trouble. His limbs went numb, his back against the wall, desperately hoping he could gain so superpower right now, perhaps invisibility, to avoid being discovered.
However, reality was often cruel.
In his ears, the guard’s footsteps were getting closer, just a turn away. i Yan could even hear the rapid breaths of the approaching person.
In his current position, there was no way to avoid it. If he tried to escape now, it would create a noise and alert all the guards in the villa.
What to do!
i Yan closed his eyes, trying to think of a solution. Unfortunately, at this critical mont, his mind went blank.
In hesitation, the guard took another step forward, the fabric of his clothes brushing against the wall, making a nerve-racking rustling sound.
i Yan held his breath, his body stiff, not daring to move.
Seeing that he was about to be discovered in the next second, a man in a suit suddenly appeared in front of him, hiding him behind.
The guard turned around, caught off guard upon seeing Jiang Hai’s poker-face. “Secretary Jiang, what are you doing here? Did Master Si ask you to co down?”
“Oh, I just heard a noisy cat downstairs, so Master Si asked to check.” Jiang Hai replied emotionlessly.
“Oh, 1 see.” The guard, not suspecting anything, smiled ingratiatingly, “Do you need to help you find that cat, Secretary Jiang?””
“Yes, I just saw it run over there. If you find it, just drive it away. Master Si doesn’t like cats.” Jiang Hai nodded and casually pointed in a direction.
“Alright, 1’11 go now!” The guard imdiately went to carry out the task upon hearing it was Master Si’s order..
