Chapter 253 The Canary Longing for Freedom
"Hahaha, this is what happens when you betray me, you deserve it! You deserve it!"

Gongye Si laughed heartily in his flesh and blood, and mocked Bi Lei.

Although Gongye Si was very sad that he was now in such a mortal situation, he became happy again when he saw Bi Lei being humiliated because of his absence.

Amidst the laughter, Gongye Si's blood was directly divided into four parts by the four people.

However, his consciousness chose to attach itself to Bi Lei's eternal blood, as if he wanted to witness the final end of this traitor.

After getting the most important thing, Bi Lei wanted to turn around and leave.

Three of the four people here don't get along with him. He feels that staying here is more dangerous than facing the murderer directly.

Yi Xu couldn't help but call out to him, "Bi Lei, it's safer for you to stay with us."

The real murderer was still lurking in the dark. If Bi Lei left alone, he might be targeted by the murderer.

"Haha, forget it."

Bi Lei said in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "I don't want to become the second Gong Ye Si. Goodbye."

After saying that, he left without looking back, with no intention of staying.

"What does this guy mean?"

Fang Wei pointed at Bi Lei's back and said in dissatisfaction, "Wasn't it him who took the initiative to betray Gong Ye Si? He's talking as if it was all our fault."

Yi Xu frowned deeply and whispered, "Perhaps he has been affected by the Eternal Blood and his personality has begun to change. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why he would betray Gong Ye Si, his only ally."

Fang Wei's expression changed slightly: "Could he be the murderer?"

Yi Xu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Shen Cheng was silently observing the two people.

It's not just Bi Lei. The personalities of the two people in front of him have also changed unconsciously.

According to Zhu Jing's memory, although Fang Wei was unkind and impatient before, she was not as irritable and foul-mouthed as she is now, and she looked like she was determined to get herself into trouble.

Yi Xu used to be a straightforward and decisive person, but now he has become a little indecisive, like a yes-man.

In addition, Gongye Si, who was originally good at planning before making decisions, became impulsive and stupid. Bi Lei, who liked to act with Gongye Si, suddenly took the initiative to betray him.

Excluding Zhu Jing, the personalities of each of the remaining four vice presidents have changed to varying degrees.

This change is so gradual that they themselves may not even be aware of it.

Now that Gong Ye Si is out, among the remaining three people, although each of them has motives and suspicions, Shen Cheng has actually already vaguely guessed who the murderer is.

But he was not sure yet and needed to wait until the murderer was further exposed.

"Fang Wei, come back to the headquarters with us."

Yi Xu suggested to Fang Wei: "The murderer hasn't been caught yet, so the three of us can ensure safety together. If you run out alone and get targeted by the murderer, we won't be able to save you in time."

Fang Wei remained silent. She was still worried that Shen Cheng or Yi Xu was the murderer. If she went back with them, she would be walking into a trap. It would be better for her to run away and hide alone.

Because of Xiao Qingque's previous experience, Shen Cheng could tell at a glance that Fang Wei was still thinking about escaping: "If you are worried that both of us are the murderer, there is no need to worry. What Bi Lei said before is right. The murderer is a madman who wants to kill everyone. No one can cooperate with him. If the murderer is one of us, then the other one must be his enemy."

Yi Xu also nodded, agreeing very much with Shen Cheng's words.

Shen Cheng suddenly turned to Yi Xu and asked, "Do you think I'm the murderer?"

Yi Xu was slightly startled, then shook his head, and said firmly: "I believe you are not the murderer."

"What a coincidence. I also believe you are not."

Shen Cheng turned around and looked at Fang Wei: "Look, we are not the murderer."

Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?

Fang Wei glared at Shen Cheng. Even if these two guys were not the murderer, wouldn't they treat her the same way they treated Gong Ye Si?

No matter what she thought in her heart, Fang Wei pretended to think about it and quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go back to the headquarters with you."

What she was thinking was that if she left now it would be too obvious and she would be easily targeted. She should wait until she returned and find a chance when no one was paying attention to her before escaping. By then no one would be able to find her.

Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli hid behind a flower bed, looking at the mansion in the distance.

"Are you sure this is here?"

After watching for a while, Xiao Qingque turned and asked Yan Qiuli beside him.

Shen Cheng gave the task of finding Cheng Mi's sister to Xiao Qingque, and she thought it was a very simple matter.

It’s just finding someone. You don’t even have to do it yourself. Just hire dozens of private detectives to do the job.

However, the private detectives soon returned empty-handed because the clues provided by Shen Cheng were too few. The only clue was the house where Cheng Mi's sister lived.

But the house had already been transferred to someone else, and the original owner mysteriously disappeared.

Xiao Qingque and the private detective he hired worked hard for several days but could not figure out the problem. Finally, he had to turn to Yan Qiuli for help, hoping that she could use her divination to help him find the person.

Yan Qiuli was bored at home and of course would not refuse Xiao Qingque's request.

After discussing it, the two decided to start their search from the moving company.

Moving is a very professional thing, especially for wealthy families. It is not just about dragging the furniture away casually.

So when Sister Cheng Mi moved, there was a high probability that she asked a moving company to help.

But too much time had passed and private investigators couldn't find the specific moving company.

However, this is a piece of cake for Yan Qiuli, who possesses the ability of divination.

Through divination, she easily found the specific moving company, and then through the moving company found Sister Cheng Mi's current address, which was the mansion in the distance.

The whole process took only an hour and consumed a bottle of happy water.

Hearing Xiao Qingque's question, Yan Qiuli immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "Are you questioning my professional level?"

Xiao Qingque reached out and rubbed her head: "Then tell me now what Old Shen is doing?"

Yan Qiuli slapped Xiao Qingque's hand away and said, "Don't let a primary school student like me do the questions for college students."

Her brother is so powerful now, how could a little swallow like her possibly predict what he is doing?

"Don't underestimate yourself. I think your divination skills are at least at the level of a junior high school student."

"You are only at the beginner level."

The two of them were arguing, but their eyes were fixed on the mansion in the distance.

Although he trusted Yan Qiuli's divination skills, Xiao Qingque didn't dare to report this information to Shen Cheng unless he saw Sister Cheng Mi in this mansion with his own eyes.

The mansion in the distance was obviously being guarded, and there were men in black clothes and sunglasses patrolling and standing guard.

Xiao Qingque thought about it, and used the blood control technique to pinch out a little sparrow.

After becoming a transcendent, her blood-controlling skills became even more powerful. The animals she molded became lifelike and indistinguishable from real animals.

The little sparrow pecked Xiao Qingque's palm a few times, then spread its wings and flew towards the mansion in the distance. The patrol officers outside the mansion were very alert and soon found the little sparrow flying over the wall and preparing to enter the garden.

The little sparrow was so lifelike under Xiao Qingque's control, it looked exactly like the real thing, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

boom!
Just when Xiao Qingque thought he was safe, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the mansion.

The little sparrow flying in the air was hit and smashed to pieces on the spot.

"what?!"

Xiao Qingque was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so cruel that he would not even let go of a little sparrow that flew in.

Yan Qiuli interrupted and said, "Sister Qingque, your little bird is so pitiful. It was blown up before it could be used."

"Why do I feel that what you said is unhealthy?"

"No, I'm a minor."

Xiao Qingque didn't believe that the other party could keep an eye on such a big mansion. This time, she directly pinched out a tiny mosquito and controlled it to fly towards the mansion.

Sure enough, this time it flew into the garden very smoothly and no gunshots were heard again.

Xiao Qingque controlled the mosquitoes to fly in through the window of the mansion and searched around inside.

The mansion is quite large and has many people living in it, including butlers, servants, and bodyguards. It's obvious that it's a wealthy family.

But Xiao Qingque couldn't find the person she was looking for. Shen Cheng had already described to her what Sister Mi looked like.

The area of ​​the mansion is so huge that it is difficult for a mosquito to find its way back and forth.

But Xiao Qingque didn't dare to transform into any other animal, only a mosquito was safe.

click!
Just as she was about to enter a room to check, the door suddenly opened.

The mosquito looked up and saw a giant as tall as a mountain appearing in front of him, with two hills on his body.

Snapped!
The mountain-like giant slapped the mosquito flat.

"I'll blanch it!"

Xiao Qingque finally couldn't help but swear. It would be fine if the little sparrow was beaten to death, but why the hell did they even hit a mosquito in broad daylight?

"Hey, I don't believe it."

Xiao Qingque rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight this mansion to the end and let the people inside see that her nickname of animal friend was not undeserved.

In the mansion, the housekeeper who had killed the mosquito spread out her hands and found a pool of blood on the palms, but there seemed to be no mosquito corpse.

The housekeeper didn't care about just a mosquito. She went to the bathroom, washed her hands, and then turned to a bedroom on the third floor of the mansion.

She reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no movement from inside.

"Sorry, I'm coming in."

After waiting for a while, the housekeeper unlocked the door and walked in.

The luxuriously decorated bedroom was dark, with the windows covered by thick curtains.

The housekeeper turned on the light and saw a woman in pajamas sitting on the bed, hugging her thighs with her hands, looking haggard.

This is Cheng Mi’s sister, Cheng Ying.

Even though they were both women, this proud housekeeper had to admit that Cheng Ying was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life. Even though she was not wearing any makeup and looked haggard, it did not affect her beauty at all. Instead, she looked more pitiful and lovable.

It is no wonder that master would treat Cheng Ying as his concubine and never get tired of her after all these years. Instead, his feelings for her grew deeper and deeper.

Even when Cheng Ying chose to escape overnight after learning of her sister's death some time ago, the adult did not blame her at all. Instead, he arranged a new residence for her, hoping that she could recover her good mood.

Putting herself in his shoes, the housekeeper thought that if she were to be so doted on by a senior member of an organization, she would have probably been devoted to him long ago.

But after all these years, Cheng Ying was unwilling to lower her proud head and unwilling to show true submission to that adult.

I'm just a canary that's been raised, I don't know what I have to be proud of.

The housekeeper put away her jealousy, walked slowly to the bedside, and bowed slightly to Cheng Ying.

She had to show her respect. The previous housekeeper who had neglected Cheng Ying might now have become a consumable in some experiment.

"Ma'am, you haven't eaten for two days."

Cheng Ying was still hugging her knees in a daze, her eyes empty and lifeless.

"You should eat a little, otherwise the master will blame us servants and we can't afford it."

"Just think of it as pity for us."

No matter how the housekeeper tried to persuade her, Cheng Ying remained motionless, as if she had lost her soul.

After her mouth was dry, the housekeeper finally gave up persuading her and bowed to leave.

When the housekeeper walked out and closed the door, Cheng Ying's lifeless eyes instantly regained their spirits.

She stretched out her extremely beautiful body, jumped lightly from the bed, tiptoed to the door, put her ear against it, and eavesdropped on the noise outside.

After making sure that the housekeeper had left, Cheng Ying returned to the bed and pulled out a blueprint from under the quilt that she was pressed against.

The drawing was a floor plan of the entire mansion, on which she had marked with a pen many of the locations where bodyguards would patrol and stand guard.

Cheng Ying picked up the pen again, stared at the drawing in front of her, thinking about how to find a safe escape route.

Ever since learning of her sister's death, Cheng Ying has been planning to escape.

She had been locked in a cage for the first ten years of her life, and had to play the role of a canary for the safety and future of her sister.

Now that her sister has passed away, in addition to her sadness, Cheng Ying has decided to live for herself from now on.

She absolutely did not want to be a canary without freedom for the rest of her life, so she wanted to escape even at the cost of her own life.

……

On the other side, the housekeeper walked out of the bedroom and her face immediately turned gloomy.

She was a powerful figure outside, but ended up having to humble herself and persuade an ignorant little woman to eat.

The housekeeper came downstairs with a lot of anger, only to find that the maids and bodyguards downstairs were jumping up and down, as if they were chasing something.

The housekeeper looked stunned: "What are you doing?"

A maid who was waving an electric mosquito swatter quickly explained: "I don't know why, so many mosquitoes suddenly flew in."

As if to verify the maid's words, a mosquito flew over and landed on the housekeeper's face.

Snapped!
The housekeeper slapped herself on the face, but the mosquito flew away and she missed it.

The burning pain on her face finally made her burst out with the anger that she had been holding back.

It’s bad enough that that ignorant little girl bullied me, but you damn mosquitoes actually bullied me too.

She screamed out of control: "Hit them! Hit them hard! Don't let even a mosquito appear before my eyes."
