“How can this be the same?” Zhuang Qing shook his head. He still felt that the boss of the metaphysical shop was better.

Zhuang Xuan stroked his head. “Alright, I’ll accompany you there the day after tomorrow at the latest. Is that alright?” At that time, the investigation for the mastermind behind the metaphysical shop should have been completed.

“Alright!” Zhuang Qing finally smiled. However, after thinking for a while, he said slowly, “Big Brother, we’ve agreed that if you miss the appointment again, I’ll get Second Brother to accompany me. Do you hear me?”

“Okay, okay, okay! I heard you,” Zhuang Xuan said helplessly. He had to get his secretary to investigate as soon as possible.

The next day, when Zhuang Xuan arrived at the office, the secretary came over with a stack of documents.

“President Zhuang, this is the information about that shop. At the moment, we haven’t found any signs that the person behind it is in contact with the Zhuang family’s second branch,” the secretary said.

Zhuang Xuan nodded. “You can leave!” After the secretary left, he carefully flipped through the investigation information. The information showed that the metaphysical shop had only opened this year. The customers who had been there had unanimous high evaluations. Some even thought that the owner was a living god.

Seeing these comments, Zhuang Xuan sneered. He didn’t believe in the shop owner’s strength even more. Tonight, he wanted to meet the shop owner and see if this person was really as amazing as outsiders said.

At six o’clock in the evening, Zhuang Xuan walked into the metaphysical shop. The shop assistant let him into the room. After he walked in, he realized that there was a curtain between him and the shop owner, so he could not see the person’s appearance clearly. “What would you like to ask?”

The girl’s voice was very cold, but there was a hint of familiarity. Zhuang Xuan seemed to have heard it somewhere before. Zhuang Xuan composed himself and said, “I want to look for someone.”

“Who is it?” The girl’s voice replied again.

Zhuang Xuan said, “My lost brother is 22 years old this year. I want to know where he is now.”

“Do you know her birth date and time?” the girl asked.

Zhuang Xuan continued, “Of course.” Then, he reported Zhuang Zhu’s birthday.

A moment later, there was a hint of anger in the girl’s voice. “Since you don’t believe me, why did you come over to take a look? You lost your sister.” Yu Su glared at the man. The man looked very young and had the aura of someone with a successful career.

Zhuang Xuan said in surprise, “Huh? I…” He had indeed wanted to test her, so he said that he was looking for his brother instead of his sister. He did not expect her to discover it! Could it be that she really had ability? Zhuang Xuan wanted to say something.

Yu Su said, “You can leave. I’ll return the money you have paid. If you really want to find her, bring your brother over in three days.”

“Master…” Zhuang Xuan still wanted to explain, but he was invited out of the room by the shop assistant. He returned to the car and punched the inside of the car angrily. “Was I really too suspicious of her?”

Ever since Zhuang Xuan became the head of the Zhuang family, he had been used to controlling everything. That was why he made more guesses about the owner of this shop. Perhaps he was really petty!

At nine in the morning, Ye Tang walked into the shop with a smile.

Zhang Qi looked at the smile on her face and teased, “You’re so radiant!”

Ye Tang nodded. Zhang Qi’s sharp eyes saw the strawberry mark on her neck and she couldn’t help but click her tongue. “Eh…”

Ye Tang followed Zhang Qi’s gaze and blushed.

Zhang Qi asked mischievously, “How does it feel? Do you feel so good that you feel like dying? Can he satisfy you?”

“It’s just like that!” Ye Tang blushed and didn’t want to say anything more. She walked into the workroom. It was too awkward.

The day was busy. Ye Tang was immersed in making desserts and felt that time passed quickly. At night, the two of them packed up the things in the shop and prepared to close the shop. A little girl timidly walked into the shop. Her clothes were tattered, and there were rotten leaves on her head and injuries on her face.

“Sister.” The girl’s eyes were red as she whispered. She was standing behind Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi turned around and couldn’t help but shout, “How did you find this place?” This girl was Zhang Mian.

Zhang Mian’s tears fell. Her two small hands stirred, but she did not say anything.

“This is?” Ye Tang asked.

“Zhang Mian,” Zhang Qi said.

Ye Tang walked over and carried the girl onto the stool. She squatted down and asked, “Zhang Mian, why are you in such a state? Why aren’t you going home?”

Zhang Mian bit her lip and did not speak.

Zhang Qi sneered. “If there’s anything, go find your parents. Why are you looking for us?” She didn’t care about the Zhang family’s matters.

Zhang Mian lowered her head and allowed her tears to fall on the back of her hand. Her body trembled.
