"Don't worry, Xiaobao is fine. I just can't find him. I've checked the surveillance cameras and he hasn't left. He must still be in the old house." Lu Tingxiao replied.
"What? He can't be found? Why can't he be found all of a sudden? I'll be right there! Let's talk about it later! "Hearing that it was about Xiaobao, Ning Xi had no time to ask more questions. She was about to leave immediately.
"Be careful on the road. Don't worry. Take a taxi. Don't drive yourself." Lu Tingxiao reminded her worriedly. Apparently, he was worried that she would race again.
"I know, I know …"
In the old house, Lu Jingli and Yan Ruyi were relieved to see that Lu Tingxiao had successfully called Xiaobao over.
Guan Ziyao forced a smile and asked casually, "It seems that Miss Ning has a good relationship with Xiaobao, right?"
"Yes, our Xiao Bao … quite likes that girl and listens to her," Yan Ruyi replied after a moment of deliberation.
This matter couldn't be concealed any longer. Yan Ruyi simply gave Guan Ziyao a heads-up in advance.
Hearing that, Guan Ziyao's eyes flickered.
She didn't expect that woman to be smarter than she had imagined. She had already established a relationship with Xiaobao.
Guan Ziyao sighed and said hopefully, "That's great. As long as Miss Ning is here, she can definitely find Xiaobao!"
Although she deliberately said so, in fact, after a little speculation, she knew that Ning Xi must not have been to the old house many times. She probably didn't even go to the whole old house. The old house was so big. How could she find Xiaobao in a place she was not familiar with and without alarming the guests?
There was a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Lu Chongshan and Yan Ruyi naturally thought of this as well, but apart from that, they did not have any better ideas.
"We can't count on an outsider. I've asked the servants to keep quiet and continue to look for him. If it doesn't work, we'll end the banquet early! "Lu Chongshan said seriously.
Guan Ziyao couldn't help feeling shocked.
Although she had been prepared, she seemed to have underestimated the importance Lu Chongshan attached to Xiaobao.
…
The old house of the Lu Family.
By the time Ning Xi arrived, most of the guests had arrived. The courtyard was brightly lit. She could vaguely hear melodious music and the guests' heated conversations.
Tonight, the surrounding area was under martial law, so the taxi could only drive to the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, as soon as Ning Xi got out of the car, she saw Lu Jingli waiting by the roadside.
"What's going on tonight?"
Lu Jingli started the engine and explained the whole story to her as he drove. "That's what happened! I don't know where Xiao Bao is hiding to feel sad right now, poor child! ~ "
Ning Xi narrowed her eyes. There was a coldness in her eyes that didn't match her aura at all. "Is Guan Zhichen very powerful?"
"He's been touted as a genius since he was young. He's only thirteen years old, but he's already in his third year of high school. He's going to take the college entrance examination next year and prepare to apply for Imperial City University! Of course … he definitely can't be compared to our Little Treasure … he can't even compare to me, okay? "
As they spoke, the car had already arrived at the entrance.
Lu Jingli went around and opened the door for Ning Xi. He scratched his head worriedly. "Xixi, it seems to be a little tricky this time. In the past, Xiaobao would at most hide in the attic and lock himself up. This time, I can't see him at all. I don't know where he is hiding. After all, you're not familiar with the layout of the old house. If you can't find him, don't force yourself. At most, you can ask my father to end the banquet early. Nothing is more important than Xiaobao …"
While Lu Jingli was muttering, Ning Xi suddenly let out a soft cry. Then, she bent down with a surprised face and hugged the little fellow who rushed out of the darkness. "Xiaobao? Baby! You scared Aunt Xiaoxi! Where did you go just now? "
"…" Lu Jingli was dumbfounded as he looked at Xiaobao, who they couldn't find anywhere. "Brother Xi, your automatic treasure hunting function … is amazing!"
