“Butler Zheng, what’s the matter? I’m afraid Little Young Master can’t live without me.” Lin Xingyun had no choice but to bring up Jing Han.

“Don’t worry, it’ll be quick,” Zheng Xiu brought Lin Xingyun to her office.

Zheng Xiu sat in front of the desk and casually placed the red string on the table.

Lin Xingyun’s gaze was fixed on the red string.

“These are some of Little Young Master’s information. Take it back and take a good look. You’re lucky to have caught the Little Young Master’s eye. You should know that the selection system for Little Young Master’s servants is the most difficult.”

Zheng Xiu handed a kraft paper bag to Lin Xingyun.

Lin Xingyun heaved a sigh of relief. “Yes, thank you, Butler Zheng.”

“Take good care of Little Young Master.”

“I will,”

Lin Xingyun looked at the red string and asked,”Butler Zheng, can I ask what’s going on with this red string?”

Zheng Xiu sighed. “Recently, things have been lost in the main building from time to time. This thing was picked up in front of the main building. We suspect that the thief lost it, so we want to investigate.”

Lin Xingyun heaved a sigh of relief, but she immediately thought of the man from that night. Could he be a thief? that day, she vaguely felt that something had fallen on the ground, and he had picked it up before leaving.

“Oh, I see.”

“Alright, you can go back to your work, in case Little Young Master looks for you later.” As she spoke, Zheng Xiu brought over a box and prepared to put the red rope inside.

Lin Xingyun stared at the red string. When this incident was over and no one would remember the red string, she would steal it.

Just as Lin Xingyun was thinking about how to steal the red rope, a voice came from the door.

“Butler Zheng, what’s that in your hand?”

The two of them looked toward the door at the same time.

Jing Ze stood at the door with a bright smile on his face.

“Oh, Young Master Jing, you mean this?” Zheng Xiu raised the red string again.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.” Jing ze walked in and took the things from Zheng Xiu’s hands.

“Recently, there have been many things missing from the main building. This might have been dropped by a thief. We’re still investigating,” Zheng Xiu hurriedly explained to Jing Ze.

Jing Ze held the red string and looked at it from left to right, his face full of joy.”I want this!”

Lin Xingyun’s heart was thumping. If this thing fell into Jing Ze’s hands, it would be difficult to handle.

“This…”

“The entire Jing family is mine. What’s wrong with me taking this? If I say it’s mine, it’s mine!” With that, Jing Ze tied the red string around his wrist, raised his eyebrows at Lin Xingyun, and left.

Lin Xingyun was filled with hatred!

Zheng Xiu sighed. “Why did he become such a person?”

“I’ll get back to work, Butler Zheng.” Lin Xingyun walked out of Zheng Xiu’s office dejectedly.

Jing Ze’s intelligence was only at the level of a five-year-old. She did not know what he could do with her red string. Who knew when he would throw it away, throw it away, or break it? she would not be able to get it back even if she went back.

No, she had to steal the red string back!

Lin Xingyun was planning to steal something at night when she walked into Jing Han’s room.

“Sister Yun, let’s go and shoot a slingshot!” Jing Han pulled Lin Xingyun away.

“I won’t be playing with the slingshot today. How about I teach you how to play with marbles?”

Jing Han’s eyes lit up when he heard the word “marbles.”

The group of them went outside. Lin Xingyun found a pile of marbles and started playing with Jing Han.

It was scorching, and the others could not take it anymore. It did not take long for them to slip away, leaving only Lin Xingyun and Jing Han.
