Chapter 896: It Wasn’t Her (15)

Shen Zihao took a couple of steps forward and saw the silhouette leaving the housekeepers’ quarter, towards a small unnoticeable balcony on the first floor.

Under the moonlight, Shen Zihao saw that the person was Xiao Bao.

He clenched his fists tightly.

He hadn’t expected that it would actually be Xiao Bao.

Who was Xiao Bao meeting at this hour?

Shen Zihao followed Xiao Bao silently.

He hid in an obscure corner.

After a short while, another silhouette appeared.

Xiao Bao hurried up to this person and said, “What do we do now? Young Master has discovered the truth.”

In response, a voice inquired, “What is there to be afraid of? Can’t you even hold your ground? If you give anything away, I won’t let you off.”

That voice…

Shen Zihao’s pupils shrank back at once, as things began to make sense. He realized that, indeed, this other silhouette was the butler.

The butler!

In a flash, Shen Zihao managed to figure out how Xia Nuannuan had been set up.

The three of them had gone into the room to search.

The butler had asked Ah Huang to open the suitcase, and Xiao Bao took the opportunity to slip the money into it.

If he believed Xia Nuannuan, he would naturally suspect the butler and the two security officers. In this case, they could then make Ah Huang the scapegoat.

Shen Zihao knitted his brow. This butler was very meticulous indeed.

If it weren’t for his gut feeling telling him that something was odd and him deciding to trail Xiao Bao, he might have never believed that the butler would do such a thing.

But why?

Why did the butler want to frame Xia Nuannuan?

Shen Zihao curled his fingers tightly as she stood, waiting on the spot.

Xiao Bao was on the verge of crying. “Butler, I won’t spill anything, of course, but I’m afraid… What if Young Master finds out?”

“Don’t worry. We’ll make Ah Huang the scapegoat. Young Master won’t suspect us. After all, all three of us went into the room for the search, he would not think that two of us were involved in this matter.”

Xiao Bao nodded and asked, “What should we do now then? I had a fright when Young Master said he was going to call the police.”

When the butler heard this, he snorted icily and said, “What is there to be afraid of? Don’t be so anxious! Just do as you’re told! Young Master is not clever enough to figure out it’s us.”

Shen Zihao dug his fingers into his palm when he heard this.

What was the butler implying? That he was stupid?

But in hindsight, he had to admit that he was quite stupid for suspecting Nuannuan for this long.

Xiao Bao sighed with relief and said, “Well then, Butler, I’ll go back now.”

The butler nodded.

After Xiao Bao left, the butler stood there for a while. He looked around to ensure that there was no one around before he turned to go back into his own room.

The living room was now silent and still.

Shen Zihao continued to stand in the corner, behind the curtain, without moving.

He had a gut feeling that there was more to this than what he had just witnessed.

He waited for a while more. Just as he was thinking that it was probably all for the day and there would be no more clues, he suddenly saw the butler open the door. The man walked out again.

The butler looked to his left and then his right. Finally, he walked stealthily towards the garden.

Silently, Shen Zihao followed him.

He watched the butler for a while. Then, he noticed that a silhouette walking slowly towards him.

When the butler saw the figure, he was visibly relieved and hurried up to it.

However, as Shen Zihao looked at the figure, he froze.

Because it was none other than Mei Feng!!
