Chapter 164
Xi Ning hadn’t realized why Xu Si was in his room. He had been living very well recently. He didn’t need to do his missions and now his boss has to go on a business trip.
After he digested what Xu Si said, he sat up and said, “Will it take a long time? It will be inconvenient to take me with you, I will just……”
“It’s okay if you don’t want to go, just wait for me at home.” The words that Xu Si sometimes said made Xi Ning feel that he had a strange attitude towards himself. “I’ll be back in a week.”
Xi Ning nodded. “Then when are you leaving?”
“Tonight.”
“So soon?” Xi Ning was stunned, then nodded again. “Okay……”
Xu Si thoughtfully said, “Would you like to drink a little blood now?”
“No.” Xi Ning waved his hand and refused, “I drank it only yesterday. Do you think I’m a rice bucket?”
It was only a week. He would be completely fine.
He didn’t want to drink. Xu Si didn’t say much to prevent Xi Ning from overthinking. He straightened his back and leaned on the wheelchair. “Okay, you can contact me if you face any issues.”
He took out a brand new mobile phone and handed it to Xi Ning, where his phone number was already saved in it.
Xi Ning was flattered, though he didn’t expect to have this extra benefit, so he took it and said ‘thank you’ to Xu Si in a low voice.
The car was already downstairs waiting for Xu Si. He came back here because he wanted to inform Xi Ning personally. Xi Ning didn’t have time to clean himself and send him downstairs first. After Xu Si got in the car and left, he went upstairs and went back to sleep.
When Xu Si was there, Xi Ning would still pay attention to the surrounding movement decently at night, patrolling around the villa from time to time. Now that Xu Si had left, he couldn’t find anything to do.
The second day after Xu Si left, Xi Ning leaned on the railing and looked at the night in a daze. Outside the railing was a backyard planted with various flowers. Xi Ning looked down from this angle and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
He felt a little strange. He hasn’t been to a similar place like this before, but why do he feel it so familiar?
The system interrupted his thoughts and said, “Master, since you don’t need to work, why don’t you go out for a walk?”
The system didn’t know that Xu Si didn’t tell Jian Yue about Xi Ning’s whereabouts. Since it had determined that Xu Si was Si TuZhao, the system didn’t take any precautions against him. It just mentioned it unintentionally and said, “You can go and see how the protagonist has been doing recently.”
Xi Ning thought this proposal was good, and after going downstairs, he looked around. “Who should I inform?”
When Xu Si was not here, the number of people staying on patrol at night was reduced, and Xi Ning could not see half of the people that were supposed to be around at night.
The system didn’t care about it and said, “Master is Xu Si’s personal bodyguard, so you don’t need to inform anyone.”
It said so, but Xi Ning still thought that he should inform someone. He was still an employee and there should be someone on duty at the gate. He went over there and said, “Isn’t a personal bodyguard still a bodyguard?”
He saw the lights in the security room at the door from a distance. Before he could approach, he heard a sound coming from the side that got closer to him. Someone walked over to him quickly and asked politely, “Mr. Xi, where are you going?”
Xu Si had ordered the bodyguards to look after Xi Ning. The bodyguard on duty tonight was originally in the monitoring room. Seeing that Xi Ning intended to go out, he hurriedly had the nearby patrol people come over and take a look.
Xi Ning was originally worried he couldn’t find anyone to inform, and said with a smile, “I want to go outside for a walk.”
He was not sure if he would disturb Xu Si at this time if he called him, so he just wanted to inform someone before he went out, but the bodyguard who came hesitated. “Wait a minute, I have to inform the boss first.”
His attitude was not like that toward a colleague. Xi Ning didn’t care too much. Maybe this person was a little scared because he knew he was a vampire.
And the boss that the person meant was No. 1. No. 1 also followed Xu Si to the business trip, so Xi Ning nodded. “Okay, I don’t have his phone number. You can ask him.”
If No. 1 disagreed…… he wouldn’t go out.
When No. 1 received the call, they just got off the plane and rested in the hotel shortly afterwards. He looked at Xu Si who was resting and hesitated for a while but still decided to ring his doorbell.
Regarding Xi Ning’s affairs, he no longer dared to make decisions on his own. Last time, because he was worried that Xi Ning would hurt their people, he made him wear the headgear that had accidentally injured him. Xu Si had already punished them.
He woke up Xu Si and told him about it. Xu Si was silent for a moment and said, “Let him go.”
The bodyguard at the mansion received the reply and instructions from No. 1, he came over to tell Xi Ning, who was still waiting on the spot. “Mr. Xi, you can go out anytime. Sorry, I will not question you again in the future.”
Xi Ning was embarrassed, he touched the tip of his nose. “It’s okay. Then you can continue your work.”
The bodyguard also asked him if he needed a car, but Xi Ning refused.
The mansion was not far from the street. Even if he walked, it wouldn’t take him long to get to Jian Yue’s shop.
Xi Ning walked out of the gate smoothly without anyone stopping him and walked towards the location of the shop.
He walked at a normal pace, and he didn’t notice there was a car following him at all.
Of course, Xu Si would not lock up Xi Ning at home. He simply didn’t like Jian Yue and didn’t want Xi Ning to have any connection with him anymore but it would be too obvious if he was not allowed to go out.
But Jian Yue’s night snack shop did not open tonight. If anything really happened, the bodyguards who were following Xi Ning would handle it.
Xi Ning arrived at the shop and saw that the door was closed tightly.
Even the system was puzzled. “The protagonist doesn’t seem to have any important plot points recently. Where did he go?”
The system also said to search nearby, but Xi Ning stopped it.
He just wanted to take a look at it. Since Jian Yue was not there, Xi Ning walked away from the shop and continued to walk forward.
Just after he crossed a street and turned a corner, Jian Yue drove to the shop and opened the door of the night snack shop. He took some things from the shop and left soon afterwards.
Xi Ning, who happened to miss meeting with Jian Yue, was wandering aimlessly. At this time, most of the shops are already closed, and Xi Ning didn’t want to go to places with too many people.
He passed by a cinema that was still open, but Xi Ning rummaged through his pocket and found that he didn’t have any money on him.
Xu Si hadn’t paid him his salary yet, so Xi Ning left the cinema with regret.
The scene where he was standing in front of the cinema was also seen by the bodyguard who was following him and they reported it to Xu Si.
It didn’t take long for Xi Ning to decide to go back.
After wandering for so long, Xi Ning felt that it was better to stay at home. He wanted to change his schedule, go to bed at night and get up during the day, just like ordinary people, so that at least he won’t be unable to even find someone to talk to. He just needed to make sure he wasn’t exposed to the sun when he went out.
He turned and walked back, but he was suddenly attracted by a paper stuck to a street lamp not far away.
The corner of the paper had been torn, and there was a person’s face painted on it. Xi Ning approached it curiously and felt that the person on the painting looked like himself.
But it was just a simple painting of a person. At first glance, the hairstyle and face of the person are quite common. There is not much information on the paper. It only says that if you see this person nearby, please call the following phone number.
The phone number was still completely visible, but most of the name in front of it has been torn off. Xi Ning stared at it for a while, why did he feel the name written was Mr. Jian?
Didn’t Xu Si already inform Jian Yue?
But Xu Si seemed to have no reason to hide this from Jian Yue, and this piece of paper may have been pasted by Jian Yue before Xu Si informed him.
Xi Ning thought this way, but he was still wary of it and memorized the phone number on the paper.
He dialed the number once, but after three beeps, no one answered. Jian Yue was not at the shop tonight, maybe he was busy with something else, or he was sleeping.
Xi Ning saved the phone number and wanted to try to dial again the next day.
