"master."

"Say."

"Shaodong is back." Outside the door, the voice of Meng Xilai, the butler of the Meng Residence, sounded.

Hmph, are you back?

He exhaled a mouthful of scalding turbid air heavily from the end of his nose, and Meng Tinglou's gray eyes showed a cold light of resentment and loathing.

Meng Yanbai, the grandson he was most proud of in the past, the heir whom he loved wholeheartedly, has now become his most dangerous opponent who has been dormant by his side for the longest time.

When I thought that it was this Meng Yanbai, no, no, it was this monster who was wearing the skin of [Yanbai] and was actually taking advantage of his love and calculating his trust to defeat him all the time. When the grandson's face appeared in front of him, Meng Tinglou trembled with anger because of his great disgust and his foolish belief in a poisonous snake with evil intentions!

He swore that he would strangle the poisonous snake with his own hands, and let this ambitious wolf, like his father who deserved to go to hell, swallow the bitter fruit of fooling him!

"Have they all been invited?" Taking a deep breath, suppressing the hatred in his heart that could hardly be concealed, Meng Tinglou asked in a voice that could not hear any clues.

"Yes, sir."

"Very well, you go down."

Clenching his fists tightly, Meng Tinglou lowered his old but radiant eyes, "Tell Yan Bai to wait for me in the study."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Meng Xilai who was outside the door walked away.

Holding on to the crutches at hand, Meng Tinglou stood up from the wheelchair.

Looking at the rear-projection screen, which was still showing what was happening in Guam thousands of miles away, Meng Tinglou's old lips slowly floated a picture similar to Meng Yingdong, the father who persecuted Ling Tao back then, and Meng Yanbai's biological father. Yifan had the same smile when they parted.

Let's see who is the real winner, 【Meng Yanbai】.

……

"Shaodong, why do you want to go to summer camp this year?"

Mengzhai garden.

Seeing Meng Yanbai coming back, the middle-aged maid who was leading the way spoke affectionately and with concern.

Because after Meng Yanbai was born, his biological mother Gao Mei passed away, so the middle-aged maid in front of him was like a mother to Meng Yanbai.

Of course, this is only for [Meng Yanbai].

Having gotten used to her nagging, Meng Yanbai smiled slightly, "I don't know, Mrs. Meng, I really want to try a summer camp this year, to see how ordinary students spend their holidays."

"Hehe, Shaodong, you really are..."

Compared to listening to Mrs. Meng's ramblings, Meng Yanbai cared more about...

"Sister-in-law Meng, do you know why my grandfather asked me to come back early this time?"

To be honest, until now, he still wonders why the old fox suddenly notified him to return to Meng's ancestral home on this private planet because you are so powerful.

As a result, he had to separate from Xiao En in advance and leave Guam alone.

"Well, I'm not very clear about it. Maybe the master misses you? After all, you will come back during the previous holidays." After thinking about it, Mrs. Meng said with a smile.

Miss him?

A sarcastic smile appeared on Erya's lips, but the speed was so fast that Mrs. Meng didn't notice it at all, "Yeah, speaking of it, it's time for me to come back and see my grandfather."

"Hehe, Shaodong, you can think so, of course it's great..."

At this moment, the communicator in Meng Yanbai's luggage rang,

drip-drip-drip-drip-

A trace of surprise flashed across the eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses. If he is not mistaken, this communicator should be...

drip-drip-drip-drip-

"Sorry, Mrs. Meng, I have a call."

Ignoring Mrs. Meng who was surprised, Meng Yanbai picked up the communicator that should have belonged to Ling Tao.

"Hey?"

"Is... is it Master Tao?" Ling Jiu's panicked voice came from the communicator.

Even though he knew that at Meng's house, he could never answer the phone that did not belong to [Meng Yanbai], let alone answer that he was Ling Tao, but Meng Yanbai still lowered his voice, "What's the matter."

"Tao, Master Tao!" Knowing Ling Tao's caution, even though the voice in the communicator did not sound like Ling Tao's, Ling Jiu didn't think too much, "Master Tao, it's bad, the young master is missing!"

disappeared?

Blinking his eyes in disbelief, Meng Yanbai's younger brother repeated, "What did you say? Xiao En is missing?"

"Yes, yes."

He repeated to Meng Yanbai the news of how Ling Tianen disappeared in Guam this morning, especially since the police had not made any substantial progress so far. Master Tao's breathing became lighter.

"Master Tao, I have arranged for all members of the Ling family on Guam to join in the search for the young master. What should we do now?"

Knowing the importance of Ling Tianen to Ling Tao, Ling Jiu spoke uneasy for a moment without talking to Ling Tao.

"Keep looking, I'll go back to Guam right away."

He was too lazy to guess what the old fox in Meng Tinglou wanted him to do, but when he thought of Xiao En's disappearance, Meng Yanbai turned around and planned to return to his exclusive flying machine immediately.

Yet at this moment.

"Shaodong!"

Seeing Meng Yanbai ignoring Mrs. Meng's inquiry and planning to turn around and leave, Meng Xilai, who had just come out of the main house, stopped him quickly with sharp eyesight.

"Master, please go to the study, please follow me."

"Xilei, tell grandfather that I still have something to do, and I'll come back to see him after I'm done." Meng Yanbai turned around and planned to walk towards the gate after making a fuss with Meng Xilai.

"Shaodong!"

As if he had never heard Meng Yanbai's words, Meng Xilai stopped Meng Yanbai's way first, "Master, he invites you to the study, he is already waiting for you there."

Repeating Meng Tinglou's words again without emotion, Meng Xilai's dead gray eyes fixedly stared at Meng Yanbai's eyes behind the lenses.

This look...

Looking straight at Meng Xilai, there was a flash of light in Meng Yanbai's clear eyes.

Strangely feeling that Xiao En's disappearance might have something to do with the Meng family, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Meng Yanbai regained his calmness.

"lead the way."

"Yes, Shaodong."

……

The study room is the only place in Meng Tinglou that no one is allowed to enter in the entire Meng residence. Even for his grandson [Meng Yanbai] who is responsive to requests, the study room is also the only place that is not open to him.

Although he knew almost everything about the old fox in the past few years, and he was not as curious about the things in the study room as before, the first time Meng Tinglou wanted to see him in the study room, he still let him go. Meng Yanbai was somewhat surprised.

duo duo duo -

"Master, Shaodong is here."

After knocking twice on the brown mahogany door of the study, Meng Xilai said respectfully.

"Come in, Hillary, you go down."

"Yes, sir."

The eyes under the lens flickered, unscrewed the brass handle, and Meng Yanbai walked into the study.

In the huge study room, dark red curtains were drawn on the four walls. Although it was daytime, there was not a gleam of light in the study room.

In the center of the study is a huge rear projection screen, and Meng Tinglou, who has been waiting in the middle of the study for a long time, is already sitting on the chair closest to the rear projection screen.

"You came."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Meng Tinglou turned his head to look at Meng Yanbai who walked into the study room, with the same kind smile on his old face as before.

"grandfather."

Looking at Meng Tinglou calmly, Meng Yanbai also smiled as usual.

"Ahem, sit down."

Pointing to the sofa closest to him, Meng Tinglou coughed twice, touched his chest and sighed with a smile, "Come chat with me, since your father passed away, we both have been together for a long time. We've never talked like this before."

Since his father died?

Haven't talked like this for a long time?

What happened to this old fox today, is he confused?

Resisting the anxiety and impatience in his heart, Meng Yanbai sat down next to Meng Tinglou calmly, "Grandfather, are you too tired today? Didn't I talk to you on the phone a month ago?"

"No, no."

Waving his hand and interrupting Meng Yanbai, Meng Tinglou smiled and said, "Today, I don't want to chat with [Meng Yanbai]. The person I want to talk to is my [grandson], Ling Tao."

Looking deeply at the eyes of the other party's gold-rimmed glasses with obvious surprise, Meng Tinglou grabbed Meng Yanbai's hand, and a secret smile appeared on his old face.

"Are you right, Tao'er?"
