SIATOWITF Chapter 27

Chapter 27: You Monitor Snakes, Snakes Shut Down Your Main Power Supply! He’s Smiling…

For a snake, the night is undoubtedly the best camouflage.

The black snake glided across the manicured lawn, silently moving forward.

Perhaps tonight, only the earth and moonlight knew that a snake had been here.

“Meow… Meow…”

The Persian cat in the arms of a wealthy woman suddenly screamed loudly, its already fluffy fur bristling even more, turning into a round ball.

“I’m sorry, Bobo was usually very well-behaved,” the wealthy woman apologized to her companions, lovingly stroking the little cat that had suddenly shrunk into her arms, whimpering softly.

The snake silently swam past the wealthy woman’s feet, through the noisy midnight party, and towards the chassis of the luxurious sports car.

As time passed, when the midnight chimes rang from the highest tower and the brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky as the curtain call for the day,

“Let’s go, let’s go home. We have a gala to attend the day after tomorrow.” Several young men, with their arms around each other’s shoulders, left the lively crowd, walking towards the sports car amidst envious gazes.

Buzz…

The car door lifted, like a butterfly spreading its wings, attracting discussion from the tourists. The youth, immersed in a sense of pride, haughtily raised his head, completely unaware of a black snake’s tail flashing past his feet.

Late at night, several car shadows sped along the highway, deafening music pushing emotions to the final climax.

“Lao Yu, how are you getting there the day after tomorrow?” The youth driving smiled and played a voice message on speaker.

“I’m going with my big brother, but he’ll definitely think I’m a nuisance. Oh, right, my parents are planning to bid on a vase at this charity auction, what about you, Brother Sheng?”

“We’ll see, Grandpa has spoken, everyone in the Ji Mo family must attend the auction, my dad has reserved three million,” the youth steered the steering wheel with one hand, making an S-curve on the highway and overtaking two cars, eliciting cheers from the call.

“Brother Sheng, are you going to the bar tomorrow? There are some new good things there.” Another voice chimed in from the call.

“Can’t go. Don’t even mention it, my cousin came back early, my car will be locked in the garage tonight.” The youth rolled his eyes, “Eldest grandson and heir, good looks and high education, different fates for different people.”

“It’s been so many years, and they’re still doing the car ban?”

“Yeah, I just got this car, and it’s not even warmed up yet. I wouldn’t dare to resist, they really freeze cards.”

“Brother Sheng, was that car accident back then really that spooky?”

“Who knows.” The youth irritably ruffled his hair and honked the horn loudly. “I don’t see anything wrong with him, he doesn’t look like he was in the ICU for a month, if you ask me, he’s probably creating a ‘escaped death’ persona for himself, haha, should he get a lightning tattoo too… Ouch!”

“Brother Sheng, what’s wrong, don’t wobble!”

The speeding supercar suddenly swerved out in an arc, rushing out several kilometers along the edge of the guardrail, scaring the surrounding young masters.

They were driving very close, and if one car had a problem, the entire convoy would be affected.

“N-nothing…”

“I wanted to open a drink, and the soda spurted out.” After a few minutes, the youth called Brother Sheng finally stammered a response.

He sat stiffly in the car seat, his fingers seemingly welded to the steering wheel.

What just happened…

His heart was pounding in his chest, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his expensive clothes.

Car crash and death… if his hand had deviated a few more millimeters, his fate would have been a car crash and death!

The belated fear made his teeth chatter, and the veins on his hands were exposed, almost crushing the steering wheel.

What’s going on… his body skewed uncontrollably at that moment, no matter how his brain screamed, he could only watch helplessly as the fence got closer and closer.

It was as if he was possessed… but fortunately… fortunately, he didn’t hit it…

The young master breathed heavily, trembling as he slowly reduced his speed to thirty.

He will never speed again, sob… The young master looked at the bicycle that overtook him, finally released the steering wheel, and wanted to pull out a few tissues to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

But he couldn’t open it…

No matter how he pulled the car compartment, that small drawer remained unmoved.

“Brother Sheng, are you okay?” His companions also slowed down, surrounding him with concern.

“N-nothing, I spilled too much drink, I’ll wipe it off. You… you guys go first, anyway, I’m almost home.” The youth said with a pale face, still trying to put on a brave front for his companions.

“Okay, it’s only two kilometers. Brother Sheng, we’ll see you tomorrow~”

Several sports cars roared away, leaving Ji Mo Sheng, who remained in place, trembling as he restarted the engine.

The sports car bumped, scaring him into another shiver.

Clang…

The snake curled up in the car compartment bumped its head due to the car’s shaking. It shook its head in the darkness, a pair of golden snake eyes hovering in the air like flames.

“Hiss~”

The snake extended its bright red tongue and probed the air, savoring the rich fear with satisfaction.

Extremely delicious.

–

“Young Master Sheng, are you not feeling well?” Walking into the old mansion, the housekeeper, who was checking the items, immediately noticed the young master’s unusual state.

“N-nothing.” Ji Mo Sheng waved his hand, he felt very bad now, the only thing he wanted to do was return to his room and sleep.

“Ji Mo Sheng?” Another stern voice sounded, the housekeeper took a step back, revealing the old man sitting at the head of the long table.

“G-Grandpa?” The youth was stunned, immediately becoming restrained.

So late… why isn’t Grandpa asleep yet?

“Where did you go, why are you only coming back now?” The old man frowned, his hand resting on an ivory-white cane.

Just sitting there, his aura was awe-inspiring.

“I… I went out to play with friends.” Ji Mo Sheng’s voice grew softer and softer, and the hand hidden behind him trembled slightly.

He absolutely couldn’t let Grandpa know that he went racing…

“…” The old man was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

“Where did you go to play?”

“Just… just near the scenic spot, some friends arrived early and stayed at the hotel, we went to welcome them…”

“Go.” The old man waved his hand, and the youth, relieved, quickly lowered his head and slipped away.

……

“Young Master Sheng probably went racing with those youngsters.” The housekeeper watched the youth’s figure disappear at the stairwell, shaking his head slightly.

“Why do I feel like Ji Mo Sheng is a little off today.”

“Young Master Sheng seems tired.” The housekeeper placed the golden cards one by one into envelopes, then neatly stacked them into the box.

It’s probably because you scared him, he didn’t say this out loud.

“Old Master, Young Master An said he won’t be here until tomorrow morning. Miss Xin Xin won’t arrive until noon, so don’t wait here anymore. Look, my task for today has been completed, and no one is here to wait with you.”

“Who said I was waiting for him.” The old man immediately slammed the table.

“Yes, yes, yes, then you’re waiting for me.” The housekeeper had worked with the old man for more than forty years and had long understood his personality.

“Forget it, unconscionable kid. I’ll be sure to scold him a few times when he arrives tomorrow.” The old man stood up, walking towards the corridor with a displeased expression.

“Hey, let me support you. It’s still a bit of a distance to your room.” The housekeeper glanced at the clock, decisively clamping the box under his arm.

“Go, go, go, I’m still healthy.”

–

The snake slipped out of the room before Ji Mo Sheng closed the door, moving all the way forward on the brown carpet, and quickly climbed down the stairs.

[Dressing Room]

He followed the footsteps of a sleepy servant into the work clothes room filled with three-piece suits, and used the tip of his tail to roll away a brand name.

A few minutes later, a tall, handsome man walked out of the dressing room holding a tray.

He walked so openly in the old mansion of the Ji Mo family, and the servants who passed by him turned a blind eye to him.

Until…

“Hey, little brother.”

“…” Xuan Bai stopped and turned around with a smile.

“You’ve come at the right time, help me give this box to your supervisor and let her distribute it to the young masters and misses tomorrow.”

“Okay, sir.” Xuan Bai took the box, and his amber eyes turned golden in an instant.

“Good night. Have a good dream.” The corners of his lips curled up into a slightly strange smile, his snake eyes staring unblinkingly at the old man holding the ivory cane opposite him.

Of course, I will deliver it safely.

……

“Lao Zheng.” The old man looked at the slender figure walking away, and suddenly stroked his left chest with his right hand.

“Lao Zheng, the first time I saw him just now, my heart… suddenly beat very fast.”

“Check it out, what’s his name.”

“Okay, a new batch of servants has been hired recently. I’ll ask Little Na later… um…” The housekeeper stopped halfway through his sentence.

“Old Master, I seem to have worked too much today, my brain is not working properly… What does he look like? I forgot…”

“I think it’s time for you to retire.” The old man sneered, but the open mouth didn’t utter a sound…

What does he look like?

“I was originally rehired.” The housekeeper looked at the stunned old man and muttered in a low voice.

–

Xuan Bai continued to walk, he was clearly visiting this huge mansion for the first time, but it was as if there was a clear route.

Finally, he came to a white wall, and only then did he stop.

“We’re going through.” He said mysterious syllables, and actually strode forward.

Walking through the wall.

Click.

The heel landed on the ground, making a crisp sound.

But no one heard it, because the world inside the wall was extremely noisy.

Xuan Bai blinked, countless men and women in uniforms walked past him, each holding thick files.

This room was very large, filled with computers and various precision instruments.

And…

“He turned on the lights.”

“He’s pouring water.”

“He’s smiling! Smiling at the direction of camera seven!”

Thirty screens covered an entire wall, but all the screens had one protagonist.

Xuan Bai followed the crowd to the front of the screen wall, and he smiled again.

Revealing… the same expression as that protagonist.

No one knew… the protagonist ‘Xuan Bai’ was not smiling at camera seven at all, but was smiling at his main body.

Eyes met, Xuan Bai in the screen smiled and turned off the lights, returning to bed.

And Xuan Bai outside the screen was still smiling as he walked towards…

The main power switch.

Humans… heh.

“Little guy, hurry up. By the way, plant my code into their program.” Then complete your mission before the snakes retaliate against them.

In the second before the room plunged into darkness, a beam of fluorescent blue flames quickly rushed into the largest main control computer in the front left of the room.

Unimportant little things completed.

Xuan Bai listened to the screams constantly ringing in his ears, and the sounds of people hurriedly looking for backup power started to feel triumphant.

You monitor snakes, snakes shut down your main power supply!

But the snake doesn’t have time to play house with you, now, the snake is going to complete the most important thing today!

The flame flew back before the room lit up again, and plunged into Xuan Bai’s eyes with a whoosh.

The snake wants to stick to Ji Mo An before dawn!

Stick! Stick!

This is a huge thing!
