Chapter 35 Section Thirteen

Shangguan Yun went to bed early last night, she didn't know what happened.When I woke up in the morning, I was surprised to find that the Filipino maid Amiya was not there.She went to the living room to ask Butler Jin, but Butler Jin said that he didn't know what was going on, but he just heard from Mr. Xia Lan that he wanted to change to a Filipino maid. Shangguan Yun planned to go back to the room to ask Xia Lan, but she stopped after walking a few steps. Change Filipino maid?Amiya is doing well, why change it?Besides, even if you want to change, it's impossible to fire her at night, right?

Shangguan Yun suddenly realized that something must have happened last night. etc.She sits on the couch and I have to think about it.Xia Lan is so anxious to let Amiya leave overnight, there is only one possibility... What secret did Amiya discover about Xia Qing? Yes, there is nothing wrong with that.Shangguan Yun remembered that the supper was cooked by Amiya and delivered to the door of Xia Qing's room every night. She frowned slowly and thought of many possibilities. After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Yun raised his head and glanced at the wall clock. It is now half past nine in the morning.If Amiya left last night, she shouldn't have gone too far now.

She decided to keep Xia Lan in touch and get in touch with Amiya. Shangguan Yun walked to the bedroom.Xia Lan was sitting on the bed with her back facing her, as if thinking about something.Shangguan Yun deliberately didn't mention Amiya's affairs, but lied that he was going out to buy something.Xia Lan didn't seem suspicious. Shangguan Yun quickly changed his clothes, put on his makeup briefly, and left home in a hurry.When he got outside, he took out the phone from his purse and dialed Amiya's cell phone. It took a long time for the phone to be picked up.It can be seen that Amiya has considered for a long time whether to answer this call, and her voice also expressed deep anxiety: "Hello, Mrs. Shangguan..."

"Amiya, where are you? Why did you leave?" Shangguan Yun asked eagerly. "nothing……" "Amiya, tell me the truth, why did your husband fire you?" The other party hesitated for a long time: "...It's not my husband who wants to fire me, but I want to leave. I want to go back to my hometown in the Philippines... Ah, Mrs. Shangguan, the plane is about to arrive, I can't say any more..." Shangguan Yun was taken aback: "Airplane? Are you at the airport now?" Amiya obviously wanted to end the call immediately: "Yes, sorry, I have to turn off the phone..."

"Wait, wait a minute, Amiya!" Shangguan Yun quickly stopped her, "Don't hang up the phone. Listen, I have to meet with you, right away. You refund the plane ticket, and I will accompany you for the loss." "Ah, no, Mrs. Shangguan, I'm really sorry, I'm leaving now..." "Okay, wait..." Shangguan Yun tried his best to reassure her, his mind turned quickly, "Amiya, tell me, how much did the husband give you?" There was silence on the other end of the phone. Shangguan Yun knew that she was right, she grasped the other party's heart and said: "Amiya, as long as you meet me now, I will give you the same amount of money. How about it, isn't it bad? It will only delay you for a while Hours. Think about it, Amiya."

After a full half minute of silence, Shangguan Yun almost thought she had hung up the phone, and Amiya finally said, "Okay, Mrs. Shangguan, I'll wait for you at the Starbucks next to Jinghai Airport." "Okay, I'll be there soon." Shangguan Yun hung up the phone.Take a deep breath.My guess was absolutely right, Amiya was sent away by Xia Lan overnight because she knew something - there must be something wrong with it. Shangguan Yun didn't dare to waste another second, she immediately drove her Porsche sports car out of the garage and drove straight to Jinghai Airport.

After finally grasping a clue, nothing can let it slip away. Half an hour later, Shangguan Yun met Amiya in the Starbucks coffee shop outside the airport. Amiya has already ordered a cup of coffee for her.Shangguan Yun said "Thank you", held the coffee cup, and asked straight to the point: "Okay, Amiya, tell me now, what happened last night?" Amiya showed a very embarrassed expression: "Madam Shangguan, I... promised Mr. Xia Lan that I will not tell this matter." Shangguan Yun stretched out his hand to compare, and said: "I understand, but Amiya, you must also know that this matter is very important to me. I am the mistress of this family, but Xia Lan keeps everything from me. Now , I don't know anything about my own son. Amiya, you can understand how I feel, right?"

"Yes, I can understand...but Mrs. Shangguan." Amiya bit her lower lip and pondered for a long time, "Mr. Xia Lan hinted that if I tell what I know, he will not let me go." "Xia Lan...he actually threatened you?" Amiya lowered her head and said nothing, looking very uncomfortable. Shangguan Yun held Amiya's hand: "Don't worry, Amiya. Xia Lan is just scaring you. You are going back to the Philippines soon. You can buy a house in a beautiful small city in the Philippines and have a happy time with your family. Living together. Xia Lan can't really come to you-nor can he find it. No one can bother you."

Amiya raised her head, seemingly convinced by Shangguan Yun's words.She hesitated for a moment again, and said, "Okay, Mrs. Shangguan, I will tell you what happened last night." Shangguan Yun nodded, a little nervous. "Last night at eleven o'clock, I made a supper for Master Xia Qing as usual, and delivered it to his door..." Amiya explained in detail what she had done, her body was shaking all the time, several times He stopped because of fear, and it took more than ten minutes to finish describing the matter. Shangguan Yun's reaction was also one of the reasons why Amiya stopped.When she heard Amiya say that Xia Qing's closet was full of dead animals, she covered her mouth in horror, her stomach churning.The terrifying feeling that Amiya described when Xia Qing approached made her feel even more horrified.After Amiya finished speaking, Shangguan Yun froze.

"Madame Shangguan, that's how it happened. I was really... frightened and stupid!" Shangguan Yun took a deep breath, as if she couldn't breathe before, she opened her eyes wide, and asked in disbelief: "How come there are so many... dead animals in Xia Qing's room? Where did he get them? " Amiya shivered and looked very uncomfortable, those disgusting pictures seemed to appear in front of her eyes again. "I don't know, ma'am." Shangguan Yun thought for a while, and suddenly remembered the presents Xia Lan brought home for his son every day.Could it be... goosebumps all over her body.

After a pause, Shangguan Yun asked: "Amiya, you said that when you found Xia Qing standing behind you and slowly approaching you, you felt a threat of death. Are you sure that your feeling at that time was correct? Is it? Xia Qing is just a six-year-old child." Amiya put her hands on her shoulders, her face turned pale.It seemed that this was the scariest thing for her compared to finding dead animals. "Yes, ma'am... I don't know what's going on. I know that I'm just a six-year-old child in front of me, but the feeling of fear in my heart..." She shuddered, "It still makes my whole body tremble. Chills. I believe my intuition is correct... If Mr. Xia Lan comes one step later, I may... die." Shangguan Yun's back also continued to feel cool.He tried his best to control his emotions and asked, "You said, Xia Lan broke into that room, hugged Xia Qing, and kept saying 'no, no, no'?" "Yes, it makes me feel... sir... as if he knew what would happen if he was late." Oh my god.Shangguan Yun felt dizzy, she thought of the personal doctor who died in Xia Qing's room.Amiya's intuition may be right.The thought made her shudder.She closed her eyes to gather herself, and said, "After you ran downstairs, you don't know what happened to Xia Qing, do you?" "yes." Shangguan Yun was silent for a long time, staring into each other's eyes: "Amiya, tell me now, what exactly is the food you prepare for Xia Qing every day?" A shadow of fear flitted across Amiya's face.She opened her eyes wide, as if a little afraid to speak out. Shangguan Yun held Amiya's hand tightly again: "It's okay, Amiya, just tell me. I'm mentally prepared." After a while, Amiya said, "It's... some meat." Shangguan Yun's heartbeat quickened: "What meat?" "……I have no idea." "have no idea?" "Yes, because I can't see what kind of animal it is." "Where did the meat come from?" "Mr. Xia Lan brought it all back to me. He told me that this kind of meat is specially prepared for Young Master Xia Qing, and no one else can see or know about it." Shangguan Yun tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart: "How do you cook these meats?" "It's like frying steak, but without any seasoning, and Mr. Xia Lan asked, as long as it is ripe." "Once ripe?" Shangguan Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that no different from raw meat?" Amiya nodded helplessly: "I also think that he just asked me to cook it symbolically. To be honest, I find it hard to believe that this kind of food... can be eaten by anyone." After a pause, she He continued, "Besides, Mrs. Shangguan... I didn't know what kind of meat these were. But after looking at Master Xia Qing's closet last night, I wondered, could it be..." "Okay, stop talking." Shangguan Yun covered his mouth in fear, and was about to vomit. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Shangguan." Amiya said apologetically, "I was just thinking about it and it made you uncomfortable." After several minutes, Shangguan Yun's mood calmed down a little.She said, "Amiya, is that all you know?" "Yes, Mrs. Shangguan. I have told you everything I know. However, this is tantamount to betraying Mr. Xia Lan." Shangguan Yun understood.She took out a bank card from her purse and said, "I don't know how much Xia Lan gave you. But the card I brought out today is only half a million. Amiya, take it, Go back to the Philippines. Like Xia Lan said, never come back." Unexpectedly, Amiya held Shangguan Yun's hand at this time: "Madam Shangguan, please put away your card. I will meet you for the last time today, not for money. To be honest, Mr. Xia Lan gave me That sum of money is enough for me to live well in the Philippines. I tell you this because..." She squatted for a long time, biting her lower lip tightly, and after a while, she finally said: "I think you have the strength to know these things. Moreover, your current situation may also be dangerous. Ah...Of course, I was just messing around It’s just a guess, it’s not necessarily like this, but I’ll tell you what I know, so you should feel at ease.” At this point, Amiya stood up, “Madame Shangguan, I didn’t tell the truth just now, in fact, the ticket I bought , it's twelve o'clock. Now is the time to ride. I'm leaving, please take care." She picked up her bag and left the cafe. Shangguan Yun wanted to say goodbye to Amiya and thank her, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't say anything.
