Chapter 429 Chapter 427 Is The Heiress Returning From Overseas A Fated Villainess?
Chapter 427 Is The Heiress Returning From Overseas A Fated Villainess?
Chi Xiaocheng understood what Si Chen was implying.
The truth about the world's will and that this world was originally a novel could not be revealed to Su Tao.
Her importance wasn't low enough.
So Chi Xiaocheng deliberately asked loudly, "Si Chen, you've been with Tao Tao all this time. I forgot to ask, how are the two cats doing at home? Haven't you brought them over this week?"
"Uh..."
Si Chen was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected Chi Xiaocheng to ask such a tricky question right off the bat.
After a moment's pause, he truthfully said, "About them, I forgot."
Chi Xiaocheng: "..."
The atmosphere fell silent.
To be honest, Chi Xiaocheng had also forgotten.
Ever since she and Tao Tao confessed their feelings, Chi Xiaocheng had been completely immersed in tenderness.
Especially now that Su Tao was a bit possessive and would actively cling to her, Chi Xiaocheng was thoroughly enjoying it.
As for Su Tao, she had let Da Wang and Xiao Ran roam free so many times that she knew they would actively go out hunting, so she had never worried about them.
Crap, could something have really happened to them?
Chi Xiaocheng thought for a moment and decided to call Fang Ning first.
It was a long-overdue call, and Fang Ning's voice on the phone sounded happy. "Sister Xiaocheng, it's been so long since you called. Is something the matter?"
Chi Xiaocheng went straight to the point. "I wanted to ask, Da Wang and Xiao Ran... well, they've been a bit naughty lately and ran away from home. Did they happen to go to your place?"
Fang Ning sounded puzzled. "Sister Xiaocheng, did you quarrel with the cats? I did see them by the trash can at the market yesterday when I was buying groceries. At first, I thought I was seeing things."
"Then I brought them back to the cat cafe, but I've been busy and haven't had a chance to tell you."
Hearing Fang Ning's words, Chi Xiaocheng breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. I'm not at home right now; I'm staying somewhere else. Can I trouble you to take care of them for a while?"
Fang Ning's voice was helpless. "Okay, I got it. Xiao Ran is pretty well-behaved, but Da Wang always likes to fight with the other cats. He does this every so often, like he's declaring his dominance. It's frustrating."
"And also, Sister Xiaocheng, let me tell you..."
Perhaps it had been too long since they last talked, Fang Ning spoke at length to Chi Xiaocheng.
It wasn't until the cat cafe manager called the girl over to help that she hurriedly hung up, saying that she would take good care of Da Wang and Xiao Ran.
Si Chen had been sitting next to her the entire time and couldn't help but sigh. "That's really good."
"Yeah," Chi Xiaocheng echoed with a sigh. "Compared to ordinary house cats, Da Wang, who went from a stray to a house cat, has a stronger survival ability. He's been living well with Xiao Ran for over a week."
"I reckon they'll even gain weight by the time I see them again."
Si Chen: "..."
Could it be that the person I was saying "That's really good" to was the little girl on the other end of the phone?
Sometimes he couldn't keep up with Chi Xiaocheng's train of thought.
Si Chen sighed, went to the door again, and listened with his ear against it.
Then he suddenly pulled the door open.
Surprise attack!
The surprise attack failed; Su Tao wasn't eavesdropping outside.
This relieved Si Chen. "Su Tao's not here. Let's talk about Chu Lingfeng's death and that head maid. It's better not to let Su Tao know about these things."
Getting to the point, Chi Xiaocheng also jumped onto the computer chair that Su Tao usually sat in, her expression slightly more serious. "Chu Lingfeng's death was indeed beyond my expectations. Even if he had no luck, he shouldn't have kicked the bucket so easily. So I have a guess."
Si Chen narrowed his eyes. "You also think that the head maid killed Chu Lingfeng?"
Chi Xiaocheng was stunned. "You could guess that too?"
Si Chen pushed up his glasses. "I deduced many things from what Yu Hui... that is, the plainclothes man said, especially since I also investigated his background."
"I found out that he came from the capital, and his family has been settled there."
"Excluding the possibility of him coming from the capital for Chu Lingfeng's sake, we can conclude that the head maid he mentioned has also come from the capital!"
"And the term 'head maid' is very meaningful."
Si Chen shared his insights and guesses.
In general, even middle to lower class families with a small villa as an asset would hire some maids to manage things, but they wouldn't have a position like "head maid."
The biggest reason was that their own strength wasn't strong enough, and engaging in such extravagance would only attract ridicule.
Just like his Si family and Dongfang Yang's Dongfang family.
The Dongfang family's power in the capital was enormous, with large villas and estates, but they didn't have the so-called head maid position.
Dongfang Yang's family was a pure native family of Da Zhou and strongly rejected Westernization.
His Si family only established one because it was used to put on a show when dealing with foreign countries.
From this, he could further deduce that this head maid was very likely the maid of the heiress who had recently caused a stir in the capital!
Of course, this was just a guess.
But Si Chen felt that his deduction was quite accurate.
The heiress who was about to return from overseas first sent some maids back to manage domestic affairs while waiting for her return. Wasn't this normal?
What puzzled Si Chen was why this heiress had targeted the completely unknown Chi Xiaocheng.
After listening to Si Chen's analysis, Chi Xiaocheng couldn't help but marvel again that Si Chen was indeed the intellectual powerhouse of the original novel.
With so little information, he actually connected it to that heiress.
In fact, Chi Xiaocheng had the same idea as him.
The head maid killed the troublesome Chu Lingfeng, personally took over Kyushu Milk, and then targeted herself and Su Tao.
That heiress, the rich villainess who came out of nowhere, was probably about to return from abroad very soon.
If she wasn't mistaken, this head maid might be more difficult to deal with than Chu Lingfeng!
Chi Xiaocheng also told Si Chen her thoughts, and the latter raised his eyebrows slightly. "If that's really the case, it's not necessarily a bad thing."
"This isn't a bad thing?"
"Chi Xiaocheng, do you know that people cultivated by large families all have their own set of behavioral guidelines? Whether it's that heiress who hasn't returned yet or this head maid, they won't be as crazy as Chu Lingfeng."
"If they want to target you, they will definitely have a more detailed plan, rather than a sudden attack like last week."
As for the sniper incident, anyone would have chosen to sell Chi Xiaocheng out.
It could only be said that even that head maid had miscalculated the mutual feelings between Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.
"But..." Si Chen took another deep breath, "I still don't understand why the head maid and that heiress have taken a liking to you. This is completely unscientific. Even if they kidnapped Su Tao, I could understand, but why is it you?"
Hearing these words in Chi Xiaocheng's heart only made her sneer inwardly.
Why only target herself?
Wasn't it simple?
That heiress was the rich villainess who came out of nowhere!
And what the rich villainess represented was the world's will.
Chi Xiaocheng could almost conclude that the heiress she had never met wanted to eliminate herself from this world!
