Chapter 116
Pei Chiyao raised an eyebrow but immediately strode over. Just as he was about to open the door, Zhi Yao hooked onto his sleeve with her paw. "Pei... Pei Chiyao... are you sure you want to open the door?"
"Coward."
Pei Chiyao mocked Zhi Yao mercilessly, "Your courage is even smaller than your sly nature."
Zhi Yao was about to retort when the faint sounds from outside the door entered her ears again. She immediately shrank back into Pei Chiyao's embrace.
With a "click," Pei Chiyao opened the door.
But there was no one outside.
Zhi Yao's golden eyes widened even more. The little girl only glanced around before shrieking in terror in Pei Chiyao's arms, "Ah ah there's a ghost!"
It was the first time Pei Chiyao had seen a fox spirit so afraid of ghosts.
His little girl's timidity opened his eyes wide.
The man sighed lightly, "Silly, look down."
"I don't want to, I don't want to!!"
The white fox standing on the ground was speechless.
"Wuff wuff!" She hurriedly called out, reminding Zhi Yao.
In her panic and fear, Zhi Yao heard the very familiar fox language. Disbelievingly, she raised her fox head and looked around blankly, but still couldn't see any trace or fox.
Pei Chiyao reached out and pressed down on Zhi Yao's frantically turning little head, gently pushing it downwards.
This time, Zhi Yao finally saw clearly and exclaimed, "It's you? Tie Zhu! How are you here?"
Indeed, it was the little fox that Pei Ning had entrusted to Jiang Zhu's care before - Tie Zhu.
Tie Zhu: "..."
She wasn't called Tie Zhu!!!
Never mind, that wasn't the point.
As soon as the door opened, Tie Zhu's expression turned extremely serious. She rushed into the room, sniffing around with her black nose as if searching for something.
Finally!
Tie Zhu's footsteps stopped at the bookshelf in the living room. She quickly turned around and gestured to Zhi Yao, "Wuff wuff wuff!"
Zhi Yao was startled, "You're saying there's a camera here?"
Tie Zhu hurriedly nodded!
The little girl was so anxious to jump down from Pei Chiyao's arms, but Pei Chiyao just tightened his hold on the fox, "Don't be hasty, I knew about it long ago."
He had already taken control of the camera's connection.
Zhi Yao was even more puzzled. He knew about it long ago? Knew about what?
Before she could ask, Pei Chiyao lightly tapped her nose, "Baby, let's watch a good show."
A good show?
Before Zhi Yao could understand, Tie Zhu was becoming agitated, circling around her own tail, "Wuff wuff wuff wuff wuff!"
Listening carefully, there seemed to be a hint of whimpering in her voice.
"Tie Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
Tie Zhu hurriedly explained. Zhi Yao finally understood why Tie Zhu had appeared here.
Apparently, she had come with Jiang Zhu.
Jiang Zhu had been a bit absent-minded before coming, and became even stranger after encountering that woman called Shen Yilian.
Just now, Tie Zhu smelled a very strange scent and followed it, only to overhear Shen Yilian on the phone and discover the camera.
She had also witnessed Shen Yilian dragging Jiang Zhu away...
She didn't dare imagine what Shen Yilian might do to Jiang Zhu, but she also knew that rushing in alone would only lead to her death. So she hurried to tell Zhi Yao about the camera first, pleading with her to go rescue Jiang Zhu.
Zhi Yao quickly translated and relayed everything Tie Zhu had said to Pei Chiyao.
But Pei Chiyao remained calm throughout, "Don't worry, get yourself cleaned up first, then we'll go. It's not too late."
He calmly carried Zhi Yao out.
But while he wasn't in a hurry, Tie Zhu was frantic!
She was so afraid Shen Yilian would kill Jiang Zhu! These past few days, it was Jiang Zhu who had been taking care of her... She knew she was just an ordinary fox, unlike the beautiful human form Zhi Yao could take.
But Jiang Zhu had never looked down on her. He fed her the best meat every day, and when she was sick, he even braved the rain to take her to the hospital.
She used to be an abandoned wild fox before Jiang Zhu saved her and gave her a home. So... she absolutely could not just watch as Jiang Zhu was killed.
Tie Zhu whimpered and rushed in front of Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao, blocking their path.
She cried inconsolably. Seeing this, Zhi Yao felt a pang of heartache, "Pei Chiyao, I'm fine, let's hurry up and go."
But Pei Chiyao only glanced at Tie Zhu indifferently before walking around her, "Turn left downstairs, there's a monitoring room. Go in and you'll see who you want to see."
He was in a hurry to get Zhi Yao cleaned up right now, how could he bother with other people's affairs?
Pei Chiyao had an apartment nearby, about a ten-minute walk away.
When Pei Chiyao carried Zhi Yao back to the apartment, Zhi Yao couldn't stop thinking about how Tie Zhu had cried earlier. Out of care for her fellow young fox, Zhi Yao still couldn't let it go, "Pei Chiyao..."
"Don't speak."
Pei Chiyao covered Zhi Yao's mouth, "Your brother and the others are there, it'll be fine."
Brother?!
The fox ears twitched, and Zhi Yao sat up abruptly, "How would my brother and the others know?"
"It was your brother and the others who discovered this first."
If they hadn't messaged him about seeing a suspicious person constantly following them, Pei Chiyao might have noticed this abnormality much later.
But now that the Ling Family was there, he might as well... let them wait a little longer. If someone was coming to help, why shouldn't he use them?
Zhi Yao didn't notice Pei Chiyao's scheming at all and even breathed a sigh of relief, "So Jiang Zhu should be fine, right?"
"Don't mention him."
Although Jiang Zhu had been controlled when he harmed Zhi Yao, Pei Chiyao... still couldn't forgive him.
Moreover, he really disliked hearing other people's names from Zhi Yao's mouth.
He led Zhi Yao into the bathroom and gently patted her fox head, "Change back."
Zhi Yao looked at Pei Chiyao in confusion, "Can't you just wash me like this?"
Although she had done many things she shouldn't have done, the bathroom light was so bright... if she turned back into a human, she would definitely be stark naked, and Zhi Yao would still feel embarrassed.
"Do you think I'd be interested in a fox's body?"
Zhi Yao: "???"
The man let out a light snort, "To serve you, this little ancestor, shouldn't you give me some benefit in return?"
"Scoundrel!" Zhi Yao glared at Pei Chiyao, "I won't transform!"
This sentence completely exposed Pei Chiyao's little thought in his heart! Zhi Yao would never let him succeed! She was in a hurry to go see Jiang Zhu and Shen Yilian!
"Are you sure you don't want to transform?" He raised his eyebrows, "Then it doesn't matter, a fox is the same anyway."
As soon as these words came out, Zhi Yao's alarm bells rang instantly, and immediately afterwards, she was flipped over by Pei Chiyao.
Her soft belly was exposed to him without a doubt.
