Chapter 1342 Birthday Invitation (Instant Noodles or Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms)

After returning from the town, Duanmu Huai spent a leisurely and lazy time. Of course, the TV news also reported this unexpected earthquake event. Duanmu Huai also saw the traces left on the mountain by his battle with the earth-drilling demon worm on the TV screen. As expected, this was interpreted by experts as the result of the earthquake.

As for why this earthquake happened, the expert finally ended the conversation by saying "There are still many unsolved mysteries in the world, and we don't know our homeland well enough."

How to say... Actually, it can be understood?

After all, what the other party said is also true.

Just as Duanmu Huai was drinking Coke and watching the experts on TV talking nonsense, Sha Jiuye walked out of his room and walked to Duanmu Huai's side.

"Brother."

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

"Do you have time these days?"

"As you can see, I'm very free every day. What's wrong?"

"Actually, in a week, it's my friend Meijia's birthday. She just called and invited us to attend her birthday party together..."

"The two of us?"

"Yes, brother, have you forgotten? Meijia has met you several times before."

"Is that true? Just treat it as if it is true."

Duanmu Huai knew without thinking that it must be the background setting of the system, so he didn't think much about it and just waved his hand.

"That's all?"

"Well... and, she seems to have something to ask you for help, brother."

"Ask me for help... okay."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"Then I have to go."

In fact, Duanmu Huai knew without guessing that this must be the beginning of the next mission, but what he didn't expect was that the person who came to find him this time actually appeared as his sister's friend, which was really a bit unexpected. He didn't know what kind of trouble this time would be... and he didn't know what kind of enemy he would encounter.

Duanmu Huai couldn't wait any longer.

There was actually nothing to do next. After packing up, Duanmu Huai drove Sha Jiuye to the home of the girl named Meijia.

Well, or the villa.

Maybe it was because Duanmu Huai's family was a famous family in the background setting, and they knew many members of big families. Even the girls' school that Sha Jiuye attended was an aristocratic girls' school, so it was natural that Meijia was also a young lady.

The evidence was that ordinary people held birthday parties at home, but Meijia chose to hold it in their villa in the mountains.

Tsk, rich people are different.

Although strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai is also a rich man.

But……………

"To be honest, I still can't understand why rich people have to build villas in such a deserted place."

Duanmu Huai complained while driving along the highway along Tokyo Bay.

"It's understandable that you want to stay away from people, but you can't live too far away. If I have to choose, I'd rather choose a place near a small town. This way, it's at least more convenient to see a doctor, and it's easier to rescue in case of a fire. I don't know what these people are thinking. They have to build a villa in the deep mountains and forests. No wonder detective novels always like to write about cases in such places. With such a good environment, who else should they kill if not you? Or did they do something shameful, so they can only build a house in the deep mountains and forests?"

"Brother? Don't say this in front of Meijia."

"Don't worry, I won't say it in front of her."

After taking a look at the map, Duanmu Huai got off the highway, drove out of the bay on the other side after crossing a mountain, and then came to a manor on a nearby hill.

It was obvious that this was a private manor, and it was tightly wrapped in trees outside, and ordinary people couldn't see what was inside. And there were high brick walls and iron fences on the outside. Duanmu Huai came to the gate, and soon the gate opened automatically and slowly.

Look, if ten or eight people died in this place, no one would notice it.

Duanmu Huai drove into it while silently complaining in his heart.

Similarly, if ten or eight girls were abducted and sold here for imprisonment and O-cult, no one would notice it.

No wonder rich people like to build villas in such ghost places, just to facilitate doing shameful things.

A moment later, Duanmu Huai's car passed through the dense woods and narrow bends and came to a foreign mansion.

The pure white mansion looked very luxurious surrounded by green mountains and green waters, but from the dense vines climbing on it and its walls, it can be seen that this mansion has been around for quite a long time.

"Sha Jiuye!"

Duanmu Huai's car had just stopped at the gate when he saw a girl in a white dress trotting all the way over. And Sha Jiuye also opened the car door and got out of the car to greet her.

"Meijia! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, almost half a month, I saw the news, that town is the place you said you were going to, I called you at that time, but I couldn't get through, I was so worried!"

At this time, Duanmu Huai also got out of the car and looked at the girl who was chatting with Sha Jiuye in front of him. The latter was also stiff when she saw him, but soon calmed down and greeted Duanmu Huai with a smile.

"Long time no see, Mr. Duanmu, I am Baifan Meijia, do you still remember me?"

"Honestly? I don't remember."

"Ahahahaha............"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's blunt answer, Baifan Meijia showed a helpless smile on her face.

"How should I put it? It's really Mr. Duanmu's usual style. Although I have been mentally prepared, I am still a little shocked to hear you say that."

"Sorry, Meijia, brother is like this......"

"I know, after all, Mr. Duanmu and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Please follow me, I have prepared a room for you."

As she spoke, Meijia led the two of them to the direction of the mansion. Duanmu Huai walked beside her, looking at the girl in front of her.

Similar to Sha Jiuye, Meijia is also a lovely beautiful girl. She has a head of naturally curly brown hair, a round face and lowered eyes, which makes her look a little more gentle and emotional. If Sha Jiuye is the kind of serious and serious girl, then Meijia is obviously the kind of gentle and quiet girl. Sha Jiuye said that Meijia is very popular in the class, and Duanmu Huai can understand this. After all, although Sakyuye is also very beautiful, she has a kind of serious feeling that no strangers are allowed to enter, and most boys are afraid that they don't have the courage to approach her.

On the contrary, Mika, a young lady who looks very cultured and educated, is very friendly and easy to approach.

"But then again, it feels so empty here."

Walking into the hall, Sakyuye couldn't help but sigh, and Mika smiled bitterly when she heard her sigh.

"After all, there are not many people here. Usually, there are only two maids in this place to take care of it, and a gardener to help tidy up the garden. And besides you, only a few of my brothers and sisters will come to the party. Now they haven't arrived yet, so it naturally seems very deserted."

"By the way, why are you here? I remember that you used to celebrate your birthday at home, didn't you?"

"That's right..."

At this point, Mika also showed an embarrassed expression.

"Actually, this is also the family rule of our Baifan family."

"Family rule?"

"Yes, I heard that it was set up by my great-grandfather who started from scratch. It is said that all the people of the Baifan family, whether they are from the main family or the branch family, must come here to celebrate their birthdays when they reach the age of sixteen. So this place is not too deserted most of the time."

"Why do you have to come here to celebrate your birthday when you turn sixteen?"

"I don't know..."

Meijia shook her head, and just when she was about to say something, suddenly, a voice sounded from not far away.

"Miss..."

"Ah!"

The voice was gloomy, as if it came out of the ground, which scared Meijia and Sha Jiuye. Even Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows and looked towards the place where the voice came from. I saw that on the side of the corridor not far from the front of the hall, a maid who looked quite old was hunched over, pushing a small cart, and turned her head to stare at this side. Perhaps because of the backlight, her face was not very clear, but Duanmu Huai could see clearly that it was a dry and old face.

The maid just stared at this side with an expressionless face, but Meijia, as a young lady, seemed a little nervous.

"Ah, hello, Grandma Sanchuan, these two are the guests I mentioned to you before, this is my good friend Kaishin Sakuya, and her brother Duanmu Huai."

"Oh......"

The old maid stretched out her voice and nodded.

"Your rooms are ready, you can go to rest at any time, and please don't forget the master's instructions."

"Okay......"

After saying this, the old maid pushed the cart and turned away, and Sakuya looked at her curiously, and then looked at Meijia.

"You seem to be afraid of her?"

"Grandma Sanchuan has been here longer than any of us."

Meijia also lowered her voice and answered.

"It is rumored that Grandma Sanchuan has been working here since my great-grandfather's time."

"Until now?"

"Yes, my father also thought she was too old and worried that she would have an accident here alone, so he planned to give her a generous pension and let her retire. But Grandma Sanchuan refused to agree to anything, and even said that if my father fired her, she would die here, so my father had no choice but to let her continue working here."

"Is it really okay? Why not hire a few people to help her?"

"My father has done this, but those servants who came here resigned within a few months, and they didn't tell me why... "

Speaking of this, Meijia was also a little uneasy.

"So I am very afraid of her, not to mention me, even my father is a little afraid of her."

Good guy, is this the guest taking the initiative?

After hearing what Meijia said, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, glanced in the direction where the old woman disappeared, and then retracted his gaze.

Now it seems that there is a good show to watch.
