Chapter 897: It Wasn’t Her (16)

All of Shen Zihao’s energy was drained away as he stood there, staring wide-eyed in shock at the two people before him.

His heart was pounding so hard that he thought it would burst.

He kept silent and listened carefully to the conversation between them.

The butler said, “Madam, Young Master is beginning to find clues! I’m not sure what happened, but he has suspicions around this matter now.”

Upon hearing this, Mei Feng frowned. “How did that happen? Did you give away something?”

The butler immediately hung his head and said, “No, I can guarantee that I haven’t. But Young Master suddenly started meddling in this matter. I think he already has an idea of what happened.”

Mei Feng took in a deep breath and said after a moment, “This has become troublesome then. Go talk to Xiao Bao. If it comes to the worst, tell him to own up. Let him know that I’ll take care of his family.”

The butler nodded immediately.

Mei Feng frowned and said unhurriedly after a pause, “No matter what, we must not let Zihao suspect me. Do you understand?”

The butler nodded and said, “Yes.”

Mei Feng turned around and said, “Ok, you may go.”

The butler turned and left.

Mei Feng, dressed in thin garments, stood on the balcony for a short while. Then she sighed deeply before turning around to leave.

However, just as she was turning around, she suddenly saw a figure in the shadows observing her quietly.

She jumped in fright and reflexively inquired, “Who’s there?”

That aggressive voice was nothing like what Shen Zihao was used to hearing every day.

He was stunned.

He stood there, looking at her in a daze.

The house was in darkness, as the lights had all been turned off.

Only the pale moonlight lit the house’s interior.

Shen Zihao stepped forward, out of the shadows.

He looked towards Mei Feng and said unhurriedly, “It’s me.”

The moment Mei Feng heard his voice, she froze. Shocked, she started, “Zi- Zihao?”

She widened her eyes, not daring to believe at whom she was looking.

She realized it was him when he walked out of the dark corner, into the dim light of the moon.

The darkness hid the expression on his face. She thought of the conversation that had just taken place… Perhaps luck was on her side and he hadn’t heard anything. “Zihao, why are you still up at this hour? And what are you doing here?”

She hoped that he had not overheard her conversation with the butler.

But alas.

Shen Zihao looked at her steadily and said, “Aunty Mei, I heard everything that you said to the butler.”

Mei Feng stood frozen and rooted to the ground.

Horrified, she opened her mouth, but she had no explanation ready. She could only take a step towards him hurriedly and grabbed his arm. “Zihao… let- let me explain.”

Shen Zihao stood there and continued looking at her. “I want an explanation too. Let’s go to the study.”

–

In the study.

Shen Zihao sat opposite Mei Feng, his expression at once blank and blurry.

As though everything that had happened that night was a dream and he had not yet woken up from it.

He had thought of many possible scenarios around the matter concerning the 50 thousand, but none of these possibilities included Mei Feng being the culprit.

So he was completely stumped.
