"Could this person really have gotten up in the middle of the night? What kind of sleep schedule is this? Is he a vampire count? Luckily, I got the address from Valentina beforehand."

Valentina deduced the exact location from the photograph; it was taken from a window on the northwest side of the mansion at Lister Estate.

The Lister Manor isn't particularly far from the Lefève family's place; it's only a twenty-minute walk.

Chu Yinan was lucky enough to catch a carriage and happily arrived at the destination, the manor. Then he started looking for directions and circled around to the northwest to find the window.

"The Lister family's manor doesn't seem to be particularly large... This should be the northwest side, but there are just too many windows here."

Chu Yinan had a bit of a headache, but the melodious zither music drifting from the house eased his dissatisfaction.

“There’s someone playing the piano in the house. The Heinrich family also has an old piano, which looks quite expensive, but unfortunately no one plays it.”

The fence surrounding the manor offers little protection; it's easy to climb over and is mostly just for decoration.

There are surveillance cameras on the streets, but that's a minor issue; we can just have Qilin hack them.

Chu Yinan silently planned his meeting: "It will be easy to pick up Miss 'Chanel' in the middle of the night. At least I can sneak into the manor without any problem. But how will she get down? Will she jump out of the window or come through the front gate?"

While strolling around, Chu Yinan unexpectedly received a reply to his message. His thoughts came to a halt, and the beautiful piano music in the mansion seemed to echo his thoughts as well.

[Kanna: Sure, how can I help you?]

[AI: Will you be sneaking out to meet us, or will you be doing it openly and honestly?]

Chu Yinan was worried that his words might cause misunderstandings, since information conveyed in writing is easily distorted.

[AI: Our staff is now surveying the area near your address. If you need any assistance, please let us know and we will prepare accordingly. We are currently near the location where you took the last photo.]

After sending the message, Chu Yinan looked up in the direction of the house, waiting for "her" to stand by the window and check the situation.

Usually, when he sends this kind of message, the other party will subconsciously go to the window to take a look.

Chu Yinan wanted to use this opportunity to confirm what "Xiang Nai" looked like and which young lady she was.

[Chanel: Wait a minute, I'll go check if your staff are thirsty. Do they need water? Or maybe some engine oil? But I don't have any here.]

Why do you still treat me like a robot?

Chu Yinan told himself, "Never mind, never mind," too lazy to explain, and simply typed a reply.

[AI: Do you have extra-strong, unsweetened coffee or lemon juice? Don't dilute the lemon juice with water; just squeeze a full cup of pure juice.]

[Kanna: I don't think we have this drink at home.]

[AI: That's alright then. Just come and look at our staff member; he'll be very happy.]

The chat stopped, and Chu Yinan stood there for a minute, but seeing no movement from the window, he continued to wait.

------------

The third floor of Liszt's house had many rooms, mainly music rooms, storage rooms, warehouses, and Chanel's boudoir.

Kana looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with long, slightly curled hair that fell to her shoulders. Her hair was a shiny, dark brown, the most common hair color in women's hair salons and a very popular color among girls. However, Kana's hair was not dyed; it was natural.

Her features were delicate and sweet, but her Japanese appearance seemed out of place in the Lister family.

After communicating with the AI ​​on her phone, the girl stood up from the piano and prepared to leave the music room to go back to her room to check the situation outside the window.

The music room and her bedroom are on the east and west sides of the same floor, respectively. You can't see the view from the window of her bedroom from the music room side.

As soon as Kana stepped out of her room, the maid who had been assigned to look after her appeared before her. This maid was about the same age as Kana.

"Miss Chanel, why did you suddenly stop playing the piano?" The maid stood in front of the door, showing no intention of making way for her mistress.

"My fingers are tired, so I'm going back to my room for a walk and to open the window for some fresh air," Kana said with a forced smile.

"The master has been at home these past few days. If Miss Chanel doesn't play the piano well, she might be scolded again. So please try harder, or perhaps play a more soothing piece first."

"All right......"

Chanel closed the door, looked at a corner of the sky outside the window with a complicated expression, took a deep breath, flipped through the sheet music, and placed her fingers back on the cold piano keys.

The sound of a piano echoed through the mansion once again.

The maid continued to stand guard outside the door, but then she remembered what Kana had mentioned earlier.

"You went back to your room specifically to open the window for some fresh air?"

I don't think Ms. Chanel used to have this habit.

The maid stood quietly outside the door for a while, then suddenly turned and walked towards Chanel's room. Her white silk stockings and high heels made no noticeable sound as they stepped on the wooden floor, as if they were blending into the music.

Pull back the curtains and open the window; a gentle breeze blows in, causing the curtains to flutter.

The maid stood by the window and glanced around casually. Her gaze fell on a cute little boy outside the manor, and her eyes met his.

I've never seen this child before, and he doesn't seem to be from around here. Why is he staring at this area?

--------

Chu Yinan waited and waited, but no one came to peek through the window, and no one replied to his messages on his phone.

In typical cases like this, a murder has occurred, and Chu Yinan, as the contact person, immediately sensed something was wrong, rushed into the house to check the situation, and thus, as the first discoverer of the crime scene, began an investigation of the Lister family's residence.

—However, his luck has recently turned around. Apart from being run over quite a few times, he hasn't encountered any strange events.

Just as he was getting impatient and was about to call to check on Kana's safety, a window opened!

A maid stood by the window, her eyes scanning the surroundings as if she were purposefully searching for something, and then her gaze met Chu Yinan's!

Could it be that this "Chanel" is actually a maid?!

It matches up! It matches up!

She must be a maid on the night shift. Normally, what young lady would have nothing better to do than get up in the middle of the night to chat with him?

Chapter 118 Heinrich is my father

Chu Yinan had no idea what the maid looked like, and he felt it was a huge mistake not to use his main account to check her out!

Her hair was silver, like Chun's, but the lighting in her room was poor, making it difficult to see clearly; it appeared to be a light blue-silver. Her hairstyle looked like short hair past her ears, but after seeing Delia and Chun's various braided styles, Chu Yinan wasn't sure whether this maid had long or short hair.

Oh no! Would it be a bit inappropriate to say I look like a staff member?

Let's test the waters first and see if she prefers a larger or smaller body size. Anyway, we can easily explain it away.

"Hello~" Chu Yinan waved to the maid.

"?" The maid looked puzzled.

...Hmm? Why is Ms. Chanel's reaction so strange?

Could it be her? No, it shouldn't be. It's exactly the agreed time, and she looked like she was searching for something after opening the window.

As Chu Yinan was wondering what was going on, the maid closed the window slightly and turned to leave.

"What does this mean? It's so bland. At least say hello. Why just glance at me and leave?" Chu Yinan stood there awkwardly, feeling like a fool.

After standing there dumbfounded for five or six minutes, just as he was about to leave, the maid appeared in front of him with a faint smile on her face. She handed Chu Yinan a beautifully packaged, high-end candy, the wrapper still carrying a faint scent of perfume.

Only a luxury brand would do something like this.

"Hello, you don't seem to be a child from around here. What's your name?"

Chu Yinan initially wanted to refuse the candy, but based on the idea that good relationships make things easier, he accepted it anyway. Whether he ate it or not was another matter.

"Chu Yinan, I'm definitely not a kid who lives around here. I just came from Twin Islands today. Is your real name Xiang Nai?"

Ms. Chanel's reaction just now clearly showed that she wanted to meet this child.

How did Ms. Ke Kana come into contact with and get to know this child, and why did she suddenly choose this time to meet him?

Chu Yinan... I've never heard of that name before, so he shouldn't be a nobleman from the island. But he said he just came from Twin Islands today, and Glory Island isn't open to the public yet. The fact that he could get in at this time means this child's identity is extraordinary.

The key point is that this child seems to know nothing about Kana, only her name and existence, and actually thinks I am Miss Kana.

Let's see what's really going on.

"Yes, are you the only one who came to Glory Island?" The maid lifted her skirt slightly, revealing a section of her white-stockinged leg, and then squatted down to keep eye on Chu Yinan so that he wouldn't have to look up at her.

"It's not exactly one person who came," Chu Yinan replied somewhat hesitantly.

Because in his conversation with Chanel, he mentioned sending staff over, but now he has made a mistake and come over as a child, which would be bad if he were treated as a child laborer!

“There are still staff options available. I just came to scout things out. Since Heinrich’s house isn’t far from here, if you feel you need a more reliable person, the AI ​​team can assign you a tall and sturdy candidate.”

Hmm? ? ?

The maid was completely confused. She knew perfectly well that she was only temporarily impersonating Miss Kana to meet this child, and there was bound to be some necessary information gap between them. But this sounded like something extraordinary!

Does "Heinrich family" refer to Miss Heinrich from the Leffey family? And what about "AI" and "staff"?

The maid's expression stiffened slightly. She forced herself to give a vague answer: "You're fine."

Silence fell over the room. The maid remained silent, worried that saying too much would give her away, while Chu Yinan waited to see if she had any questions that needed to be answered in person. Instead, he was met with her silent gaze.

This maid is so passive; she doesn't like to talk at all.

"Then...then you'll have to leave your post temporarily. I'll come find you around 1 a.m. tomorrow night. Don't forget. Are you having any trouble getting out? Do you need me to call for help?"

The maid raised an eyebrow. "Miss Chanel has arranged to go out with a cute little boy in the middle of the night?"

"No need. I can manage as long as I'm careful. Even though this is Glory Island, it's too dangerous for a little kid like you to be out alone in the middle of the night. Can I come find you?"

“Okay.” Chu Yinan didn’t want to travel that far in the middle of the night. “Then I’ll trouble you to wait for me at the Lefie family’s manor. I’ll try to wait outside as early as possible.”

Having explained everything, Chu Yinan felt he should leave, otherwise, if he disappeared from the house for too long, he might still get scolded.

That would increase the number of "正" characters in her name for no reason, which is not good.

The maid was surprised by the information revealed in Chu Yinan's words. Was he really a child of the Lefèvre family? But I had never heard of the name "Chu Yinan" before.

"It's almost time, I should go now. I won't disturb your work anymore, bye-bye~" Chu Yinan waved his hand and took out his phone to navigate.

Just as Chu Yinan turned around, presenting his backside to the maid "Kana," she called out to him.

“Let me take you back. Glory Island is very safe, but now that the island is about to be opened to the public, there will inevitably be people with bad intentions coming in. I’ll take you back.”

That's what they say, but the maid only wanted to use this opportunity to further confirm the child's identity.

"If your work isn't too demanding, then it's fine with me. But could you show me the way? It's too much trouble to follow the navigation." Chu Yinan had already put away her phone and happily accepted the offer of directions.
