It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

"I'll climb out the window and run away in a bit, you can take your time looking for me."

"Since they won't let me go out anyway, I might as well go somewhere far away and go straight to the market to have some fun."

Just as Agnes was deciding where to go, she was surprised to see her Uncle Jules appear outside the window with a maid.

The personal male servant said, "Miss has a history of climbing through windows and almost hurting herself. You need to keep an eye on this side."

Maid: "Understood."

The personal male servant said, "Then I'll leave the window here to you. I'll stand guard outside the door. This time, we absolutely cannot let Miss sneak out."

Agnes: ? ? ?

Li Cheng was in a very good mood because his discussion with Chairman Smith had gone very smoothly; so much so that his bladder felt relaxed. After asking where the restroom was, he walked towards the door alone.

"Go straight, turn right here, then turn left at the second fork in the road... Holy crap, why are there so many forks in the road for a chamber of commerce? Is land in Lincoln City really that cheap...? I should have just let that Smith guy lead the way. Saving face is a killer."

Recalling how he had smiled and refused the other person's kind offer to lead the way, Li Cheng cursed inwardly.

dong dong dong-

Just then, Li Cheng heard a series of hurried footsteps behind him, along with a high-pitched voice: "Hey you, get out of the way!"

However, Li Cheng didn't react at all, and then the shrill voice behind him hit him hard from behind—although he didn't fall, the other person staggered a couple of steps.

Li Cheng turned around and saw that the person who bumped into him was a little girl. He wasn't angry at all. Instead, he kindly reminded her, "Slow down. You'll fall if you run so fast."

"I told you not to block the way! Didn't you hear me?"

The little girl ignored Li Cheng's well-intentioned reminder and instead cursed angrily. But seeing that the people behind her were catching up, she didn't have time to say anything more and quickly ran away.

"Miss Agnes! Please don't run away on your own, the master will be angry!"

The male servant chasing behind wasn't too panicked, and even had the energy to persuade her—the internal structure of the Chamber of Commerce had many twists and turns, and although the agile Agnes might leave him behind for a while, considering the physical strength and speed of an adult, he believed he could catch up quickly.

"What a lively scene..." Li Cheng remarked, watching the figures of different sizes chasing and fleeing, before continuing his journey toward the restroom.

......

After spending quite some time, Li Cheng finally found the toilet in the winding and convoluted Chamber of Commerce.

Meanwhile, at a fork in the road not far from the toilet, he saw the male servant who had chased the little girl before. The servant was standing anxiously in front of the women's toilet, seemingly hesitating whether to go in.

Upon seeing Li Cheng, the male servant breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to inquire, "Excuse me for disturbing you, sir. Have you seen my young lady on your way here? She's the little girl who bumped into you earlier."

Li Cheng had a strong impression of the girl from earlier. He shook his head and said, "I didn't see her. Besides, I was behind you, how could I possibly see where she went? — By the way, what were you doing standing at the entrance of the women's restroom?"

The male servant thought that made sense, and he explained with a wry smile, "I looked around the neighborhood, but I couldn't find Miss. I suspect that Miss may have hidden in the women's restroom. But it's really inconvenient for me to go in... If it's convenient, could you stay here for me for a while? Just a little while, I'll go find a maid."

The safest solution would have been for him to stay there while Li Cheng went to call for help, but the male servant couldn't trouble Li Cheng with that, so he had to settle for the next best option.

Li Cheng thought for a moment and decided that it wouldn't hurt to hold it in for a couple more minutes, so he said, "Okay, go and come back quickly."

"Thank you so much!"

After speaking, the male servant hurriedly left. About three minutes later, he reappeared before Li Cheng, this time with a female servant.

Thank you again.

The male servant thanked Li Cheng again and casually directed the female servant to go into the toilet to arrest the person.

Li Cheng waved his hand and walked straight into the men's restroom next door, a hint of disgust on his face.

European toilets were... well, not very sophisticated. They had no tiles, and certainly no flush toilets. They were simply two rows of wooden planks with wooden buckets underneath. In this respect, they were far inferior to Rome a thousand years ago, which not only had well-equipped public toilets but also a complete urban sewage system.

As for Asia, because human excrement can be sold for money, public toilets are not only numerous and free, but some even offer toilet paper upside down, truly making money off of everything.

Thinking about all these random things, Li Cheng stepped into the men's restroom.

Then he saw a little girl with brown hair and blue eyes standing in the middle of the men's restroom—the same little girl who had bumped into Li Cheng not long ago. It seemed that instead of hiding in the women's restroom like a turtle in a jar, she used her inertia to hide in the men's restroom next door, which was considered impossible, and successfully evaded the male servant's search.

???

Li Cheng was dumbfounded.

When Agnes saw someone enter, after a brief moment of panic, she realized it wasn't the male servant who had captured her, so she quickly made a shushing gesture.

Shh! Don't make a sound!

Chapter 166 Men, Women, and Toilets

Men's restroom.

In a filthy, squalid male reservation, a little girl with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a yellow dress, appeared. Li Cheng learned from the male servant earlier that her name was Agnes.

Shh, don't make a sound.

Agnes recognized the person as the one she had bumped into earlier. Relieved, she raised her small hand and pressed it down towards Li Cheng, signaling him to be quiet and not attract attention outside.

"you......"

Li Cheng, momentarily forgetting his own bladder that had been bladder-filled for so long, exclaimed in shock, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​hiding in the men's restroom? I thought you were in the women's restroom."

"You think I wanted to hide here? I have nowhere else to hide. Sooner or later, that stubborn male servant will have someone drag me out of the women's restroom."

Agnes wrinkled her nose in disgust: "Don't talk, I'm leaving in a bit."

Although he had a general idea of ​​what the other person was thinking by using habitual thinking, Li Cheng was still shocked by the ingenious idea of ​​hiding in the men's restroom after hearing it confirmed with his own ears... Whose child is this? The parents who raised her are truly talented.

However, he would have to hold it in for several more minutes, and Li Cheng felt a little sad. But it was a bit awkward to go to the toilet in front of the little girl, so he decided to wait a little longer.

To distract himself, he began to observe this prodigy little girl.

Agnes had large, bright blue eyes. Her long, smooth brown hair was carefully styled and cascaded over her shoulders. Her round face was flushed from running, giving it a rosy glow.

Why are you staring at me? It's disgusting.

Li Cheng's actions were quickly noticed by the person involved. Agnes turned her face away in disgust, but both sides were... ahem, Lao Ba's lunchbox. So she was forced to turn back.

Hehe, I was forced to hold my pee, so what if I glanced at you a couple of times... Li Cheng not only didn't restrain himself, but instead looked you up and down even more, as if he were selecting piglets to be sold in a pigsty.

Agnes endured Li Cheng's gaze, thinking, 'Damn it, I didn't expect to run into such a pervert. I'll just have to bear it a little longer; soon that damned male servant will be gone, and then I can leave.'

......

at the same time.

Under the direction of her personal servant Jules, Maid A entered the women's restroom next door, while her personal servant stood guard outside, prepared to be the last one to catch Agnes if Maid A failed. Jules had no doubt that he would fail; after all, Agnes was just a little girl, and even if she was agile, there was a limit to her skill.

However, after waiting for about two minutes, there was still no sound from the women's restroom.

'Looks like everything went smoothly.'

Just as Jules, the personal servant, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Agnes had finally obeyed and surrendered, he saw Maid A emerge from the toilet alone, her hands empty.

Where is Miss Agnes?

"My personal male servant Jules asked in confusion."

Maid A shook her head: "There's no one in the toilet."

Jules, the personal servant, frowned deeply: "How is that possible? I followed Miss to this area, there's nowhere else she could be hiding! Go back in and search carefully again."

To everyone's surprise, the maid A wasn't in a good mood either. She rolled her eyes and said, "The toilet is so small. Why don't you go in and look for it yourself? I think you lost it and are trying to blame me. You can't even keep an eye on a little girl. You let her run away all the time. I don't know what you're doing."

As the two were arguing, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside them—it was Vice President Smith, who had come looking for Li Cheng out of concern because he hadn't returned for a long time.

"Greetings, sir."

"Greetings, sir."

The two greeted Smith together.

Smith nodded at them: "What's wrong? Why are you arguing?"

Maid A: "......"

Although the maid A had argued fiercely with the personal servant Jules before, it was not convenient to interrupt her on the spot, so she did not speak first and let the personal servant Jules speak first.

The personal servant looked guilty: "I'm so sorry, sir, Miss has sneaked out again. I didn't keep an eye on her."

Ran?

Smith was immediately overwhelmed: "Send people out to look for her right away. This child has been spoiled rotten by her mother since she was little, sigh..."

The personal servant breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he hadn't been scolded, and quickly pledged his loyalty: "Yes, sir, I will send someone to look for her immediately, and I will definitely bring the young lady back."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the other side of the corridor, seemingly preparing to gather people and not give up until he caught Agnes.

"Wait a moment."

Smith called out to his personal valet again and asked, "Did you see a gentleman with long red hair earlier? He's my guest, and I'm worried he might have taken the wrong turn."

Jules, the personal valet, recalled: "Um... I think I saw this gentleman in the corridor before. Miss bumped into him, but fortunately neither of them was injured."

Upon hearing that his daughter had already met with that ultimate pretty boy and lolicon, Smith's heart tightened.

He thought to himself, "My daughter is so cute (Smith thought so), what if that little pervert sees her and targets her... Damn it, I tried so hard to stop him, but he still bumps into my daughter while I'm in the bathroom—wait a minute, speaking of which, that little pervert hasn't come back for ages, did he kidnap my daughter?"

The thought filled Smith with anxiety. He pressed, "Where is he now? Could he be with my daughter?!"

"No."

The personal servant shook his head and pointed to the toilet: "That gentleman went into the toilet."

"It's good that we're not together..." Smith breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a wave of fear. He said angrily, "Go and find my daughter right now! She's always causing trouble. Lock her in her room for a month and don't let her out! Let her learn her lesson!"

After saying that, he walked towards the entrance of the men's restroom, calling out as he went, "Mr. Banana, are you in there?"

......

Meanwhile, in the men's restroom.

Agnes originally thought that the deadbeat male servant would leave soon after not finding her, but for some reason he started arguing with the maids at the door. Although it was quite satisfying to hear them looking for her but not being able to find her, Agnes was still a little speechless.

That wouldn't have been so bad; she could have just waited a little longer. But then something even more terrifying happened—her father, who was meeting with a client, suddenly showed up and even seemed to be heading into the men's restroom.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Agnes stamped her feet anxiously. "My dad's coming in!"

Li Cheng was also shocked, but his focus was different: "Holy crap, you're Smith's daughter???"

It's hard to imagine that the old British gentleman would have such a wild daughter. Are they really related?

"Is this the time to talk about this?" Agnes was almost in tears. "A month! My dad arrested me and is going to lock me up for a month! I haven't even left the Chamber of Commerce and I'm going to be locked up for a month, this is such a huge loss!!!"

Are you not concerned about a month, but rather that you didn't even leave the house?
