Chapter 12: The Twelfth Day of Feeding the Boss Water
When everyone pushed the door open, they saw Jiang Tianhao covering his mouth with one hand and holding his fallen front teeth with the other, crying loudly.

The study was a mess, with chairs overturned and a large puddle of water mixed with blood dripping from the fat boy's mouth. It looked like a crime scene.

When the Jiang couple heard the noise, they followed Butler Yu up to the third floor. Seeing their son's hands covered in blood, they were heartbroken and pushed everyone aside to squeeze forward.

Wu Dan hugged his son to comfort him, while Jiang Fa angrily questioned: "Is this the Ji family's way of entertaining guests? My son has lost so much blood, I need the Ji family to give me an explanation!"

"I think you need to give my Ji family an explanation. You relied on the fact that we wouldn't set up defenses against children and let your son steal my company's confidential USB drive. There are surveillance cameras in the study. Do you still want to quibble?"

Ji Shuchen walked over slowly, his tone was not harsh but powerful.

Jiang Fa's face flashed with guilt, and he tried to refute: "It's just a naughty child who accidentally broke into the study. Why is Mr. Ji so aggressive and making random accusations?"

Ji Shuchen ignored him. His eyes were only focused on his treasure thrown on the ground. At this moment, only God knew what kind of mood he was in when he walked to the little bear kettle.

It's sour, astringent, bitter and painful.

He lifted the little guy up with shaking hands, and choked up as he tried to hold back his heartache: "I'm sorry, baby, I'm late."

"Sorry……"

But is an apology useful?

The little bear kettle lost the vitality and agility that he had in the surveillance video when teasing Jiang Tianhao, and lay there limply, with no one knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Feeling the little body in his hand slowly harden, Ji Shuchen almost shed tears: "Butler, send the guest away!"

"Yes, Master!"

"No! You haven't paid the compensation yet!" Wu Dan pushed his son into Jiang Fa's arms and said in a sharp voice: "My son just said that it was that ghost thing in your arms that hurt my son like this."

Wu Dan doesn't believe that there are any monsters in this world. In her opinion, this is just a well-made robot.

"Give the thing in your hand to my son to deal with, and pay the full compensation, and we will not pursue this matter. Otherwise, I will sue you for intentional injury!"

Butler Yu frowned and made a gesture. Several servants came forward to ask Wu Dan and Jiang Tianhao to leave. They also asked Liu Ma to follow Jiang Tianhao to the hospital for a check-up. It was just a lost baby tooth. Don't throw all the dirty water on the Ji family.

Ignoring Jiang Fa's hesitant expression, Butler Yu smiled politely: "Mr. Jiang, please go back. You don't have to come to this old house in the future. As for what happened today, we will submit the relevant evidence to the police."

"Good luck."

After that, several security guards came up and "asked" Jiang Fa to leave.

At this time, only the housekeeper and Ji Shuchen were left in the study.

Looking at the young master kneeling on one knee holding the teddy bear kettle, Butler Yu sighed. He recognized the kettle; it was left by the young master's mother, the former eldest daughter of the Ji family.

No wonder the young master cares so much.

I don’t know if it’s because of my age, but I always feel that the things that have been with me for so long are spiritual, as if there really is such a little life that is seriously ill and dying.

It made him, an old man, feel sad.

Picking up the little bear ears at his feet and handing them to Ji Shuchen, Butler Yu patted his young master's shoulder soothingly. Perhaps, what the young master needs now is to be alone.

"Uncle Yu!"

Ji Shuchen suddenly called out to Butler Yu, who was about to leave quietly. Anger grew in his eyes, and his usually gentle voice was now filled with coldness.

"Check Jiang Fa's recent activities and who he has met. Jiang Fa doesn't have the brains or the courage to do such a thing. Someone chose him to do this..."

"If it succeeds, that would be great. The entire Ji Group will be hurt. If it fails, they can use it to humiliate me for not being able to defend against someone like that."

Ji Shuchen carefully replaced the little bear ears and raised his eyelids slightly. The anger in his eyes showed no sign of melting in the silence.
"Check all those who have had conflicts with the Ji Group, me, or even my grandfather. Upgrade all the protection systems in the old house!"

"Okay, Master!"

After Butler Yu left, Ji Shuchen picked up the USB flash drive from under the table. It was clearly a worthless gadget, but it had been protected by the little guy.

In just a moment, it is worth a thousand gold.

He returned to his room carrying the kettle and began to recall what had just happened.

Aunt Liu was the first to notice the movement in the study. She went upstairs with her food but didn't see Jiang Tianhao, so she went up the stairs to look for him.

I vaguely heard a child screaming in the study, and worried that the child might have broken something or hurt himself, so I hurried over to check.

She turned the handle and found that it was locked from the inside. On weekdays, the servants of the manor would not approach the study. The hygiene of the study had always been taken care of by her and Housekeeper Yu. For safety reasons, once the door of the study was locked from the inside, it could only be opened from the inside, or by going to the manor control room, which required the young master's fingerprint and iris.

Liu Ma was now anxious. Just as she was about to go find the housekeeper, she ran into Ji Shuchen who had just changed his clothes. She told him everything that had happened and her guesses.

Ji Shuchen looked at the door with a gloomy expression.

"Aunt Liu, go find Uncle Yu, he knows what to do!"

For some reason, he just felt anxious.

Yes, the baby is in there.

He quickly ran to the control room and tremblingly scanned his fingerprints and irises. Just as he was about to unlock the study door, he found that the screen showed unlocked.

Even now when he thought about it, he felt regretful. Why did he feel relieved? Why didn't he go to the study but chose to turn on the surveillance instead?

He failed to save the baby immediately, and he didn't even pick her up from the dirty ground immediately.

Gently wiping off the dust on the bear water bottle, Ji Shuchen couldn't help but recall the scenes in the surveillance video.

The cute look of him peeking out from behind the display screen, the look of him hiding under the table with a USB flash drive in his arms, the smug and proud look of him jumping around on the little fat boy.

And the indomitable momentum when he pounced on him, as if protecting him was the little bear's most supreme rule.

He kissed the little bear's head devoutly like a believer, his lips trembling slightly uncontrollably, but no tears came out.

"Baby, you really look like a little warrior when you pounce on him!"

"Just next time, don't be so brave. Let him take it if he wants. You are the only one that matters."

He felt heartbroken whenever he thought of the little one being pulled by the ears and thrown away. His little darling, his fairy godmother, was treated like this, and he had no way to stop it.

It hurts...

How could it not hurt? I couldn't get up, but I still...

But he still turned his body with difficulty. Was he afraid that the water would damage the USB drive?

The flowing water seemed to be stained by the red color of the carpet, looking very much like blood.

But he knew nothing now. He didn't know what the little guy's condition was like. Was he seriously injured or in a coma?
or……

It was a possibility that he had no way of thinking about.

why?
Why couldn't he have discovered it earlier? Why did he put her in the study?
Baby, why do you want to protect me?
Maybe they are right!

I am a disaster star and will always bring suffering to the people around me.

Tears fell one by one and slid down the little bear's water bottle. Ji Shuchen wiped the water stains off the little bear's body in an almost awkward manner.

"I'm sorry, baby, I made you dirty."

"I'll clean it for you now."

……

not dead?

Yue Lizhi suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath. Before he had time to be thankful that he was alive, the next second, a sharp pain spread throughout his body.

Why should she bear the injuries suffered by the little bear?

At first, I felt right. My ribs seemed to be really broken, as if I had been hit in the chest with two fists by a strong man. My hands and feet also hurt so much that it felt like someone had crushed my bones into pieces. I didn't even have the strength to clench my hands.

Sweat from the pain soaked his clothes. Yue Lizhi wiped his face with shaking hands and brushed his sweaty hair aside. Yue Lizhi even felt like thinking:

If she were in an ancient prison now and someone was ordered to interrogate her, she would probably be the kind of person who would rather die than surrender, causing the person in charge of forcing her to confess a lot of headaches and admiration.

After a long time, the pain gradually subsided.

But this kind of depression and pain, as if I had died once, is like an indelible haze.

It really hurts...

Ji Shuchen, you owe me a lot!
