The girl exclaimed and he looked very confused.
However, Helian Weiwei did not expect her to really keep watch. With that youth, Jing Zifeng around, he would tell her if anything happened.
Helian Weiwei smiled and disappeared with Baili Jiajue.
She did not know that after she left, a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness shone faintly towards her back…
“Auntie Zhang, do you need my help?”
It turned out that Helian Weiwei didn’t go outside at all, but came to the innermost kitchen of the villa.
Auntie Zhang was hiding something in her heart, so when Helian Weiwei suddenly called out to her, she accidentally dropped the ladle in her hand.
Helian Weiwei looked at the way she behaved and concluded that there was indeed a problem.
“There’s no need.” Auntie Zhang turned around and smiled awkwardly at Helian Weiwei. “It’s easy to cook for ten odd people. Captain Jiang couldn’t come back, so my original plans of making a huge feast for all of you isn’t going to happen anymore. I’ll just have to cook curry chicken and a winter melon and meatball soup. You will feel warmer after drinking it.”
Helian Weiwei smiled and replied, “Okay.” But she didn’t leave. Instead, she sat at the side and used one hand to support her cheek as she looked at Auntie Zhang with a smile.
Anyone would feel a little uncomfortable if they were looked at like this. Auntie Zhang turned on the fire and was stunned when she turned around and found Helian Weiwei looking at her. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just have something to talk to Auntie Zhang about.” Helian Weiwei curled her lips upwards. “Auntie Zhang has been working for the Song family for a long time, right?”
“Yes, I’ve been here since Young Mistress was born, so it’s been twenty years,” Sister Zhang replied gently. She thought Helian Weiwei was hungry, so she took a cooked meatball and handed it to her. “You can eat this first.”
After doing this, she seemed to have realized something, so she wiped her hands on the apron and explained, “It’s not dirty, I just washed my hands. I’ll take another one for you instead.”
Helian Weiwei didn’t wait for her to get another meatball and just directly grabbed hold of Auntie Zhang’s wrist and ate it. “It’s very delicious, just a little hot.”
Only then did Auntie Zhang smile and seemed less reserved now. “There’s still a lot here. In the past, Young Mistress also liked to eat this.”
After Helian Weiwei ate the meatball, she took another one and turned her head to feed it to a certain highness who was standing behind her.
A certain highness obviously rejected this kind of thing. “You eat it.”
Helian Weiwei threw him a look that clearly despised him for not recognizing good food, then stuffed the meatball into her mouth. Both her cheeks were swollen from munching the meatball.
Sister Zhang cut the potatoes and said with a smile, “You really look like how Young Mistress used to, how very adorable.”
Helian Weiwei felt shy when an older person complimented her and her ears turned a little red. But even so, she still didn’t forget the purpose of her coming here, “Auntie Zhang, do you know something but didn’t want to say it earlier?”
Auntie Zhang suddenly stopped chopping the vegetables and she looked at Helian Weiwei as if she did not think that a girl who was younger than Song Tongtong would be this clever.
“Is it about Miss Song?” Helian Weiwei’s next sentence hit the main point. “Actually, the situation isn’t like what General Song said, so she’s actually been outside before, right?”
“Yes. ” Sister Zhang let out a long sigh and looked a little absent-minded. “Young Mistress fell down from upstairs some time ago and the injury on her face hasn’t recovered yet. She indeed rarely leaves the house, but sometimes she does. Old Master doesn’t come home often, and he… always doesn’t care enough about Young Mistress. Young Mistress lost her parents at a very young age, so she never had anyone to play with growing up. It wasn’t easy for her to have this group of good friends when she finally reached high school.”
“Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on people. Ever since she came back from the seaside, she seemed to be traumatized and rarely returned home, always going out to play. Sometimes, she would even bring some people from god knows where to the courtyard. I know that Young Mistress is just too lonely and wants someone to accompany her. But my heart really aches to see her like this.”
“So you helped her hide the fact that she actually just came out of her room.” Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows.
Auntie Zhang immediately paused and became agitated. “It’s not Young Mistress! Miss, you have to believe me! A person like Young Mistress would not kill anyone. Even if she has become different from before, she would not hurt anyone!”
“I did not say that she must be the murderer,” Helian Weiwei comforted Auntie Zhang. “There are so many suspects now, Miss Song is only one of them.”

Auntie Zhang leaned against the chopping board and just heaved a sigh of relief.
There was a clang!
In that instant, all the lights in the villa dimmed!
Helian Weiwei’s intuition told her that something was going to happen!
She didn’t stay in the kitchen any longer and immediately stood up to stride towards the hall!
“What’s going on?”
“Why is there a power failure?”
“Did the power trip?”
“It can’t be! There’s no electricity in the villa at such a time?! What are we going to do?”
Old Master Song was still sitting in his chair. He used his walking stick to pound the floor. “Everyone, be quiet.”
Fortunately, he was able to control the situation. Otherwise, once the power went off and the people in the hall started running around, it would give the murderer an opportunity!
There weren’t many candles in the villa, and there were only some short red candles that were lit while eating western food.
Auntie Zhang immediately took them to the living room, lit them all, and placed them on the coffee table.
Helian Weiwei turned on the flashlight that came with her phone, used the light to look around the living room, and her eyes immediately narrowed. “Where’s that female university student and Li Ya?”
“They went to the toilet.” The girl did not forget what Helian Weiwei had asked her to do.
Helian Weiwei’s willowy eyebrows suddenly furrowed fiercely at this moment!
Immediately after, a scream came from the toilet!
This time, Helian Weiwei was not the first to arrive.
The first person to arrive was Jing Zifeng.
Helian Weiwei had said more than once that this youth was very smart.
He was indeed smart.
Ever since Li Ya and the female university student said that they wanted to go to the toilet, he had followed behind them.
At this time, anyone acting alone was worth paying attention to.
It was just that even he had not thought that the power would be cut off at this time in the villa.
Seeing that there was nothing going on in the bathroom, he knocked on their doors and told the two women that he was going to find some things to light up the bathroom. (This was one time the youth was particularly resentful that his master didn’t buy him a phone LOL.)
The two people in the bathroom also agreed.
He had only left for three minutes when a scream came from behind him.
Jing Zifeng didn’t hesitate. He immediately turned around and ran back in the direction of the bathroom and pushed the wooden door with all his strength. When he realized that he couldn’t push it open, his eyes narrowed.
He exerted some force and a sword made from Qi appeared in his left hand!
