Xiao Jinyu called Xia Lin, but after several attempts, the call didn't go through. His face darkened. Just as he was about to go out, a news report on the TV caught his attention.
The TV reported that at a certain intersection, due to a driver's fatigue driving and the slippery road on a rainy day, the driver had hit one person and killed another!
Xiao Jinyu felt as if his heart had been tightly squeezed. He made a call and ordered his subordinates to immediately find out who was injured and who was killed in this car accident.
Sitting down, Xiao Jinyu tried to comfort himself. It was just a nightmare, and dreams were the opposite of reality. So Xiaolin must be safe and sound now.
His subordinates were very efficient. In a short while, they called Xiao Jinyu. "Boss, we've found out. The one injured is a high - school girl, and the one who... "
Xiao Jinyu frowned. "Who was killed? Stop stuttering and speak up quickly!"
His subordinate's voice was trembling. "B - boss, the one who was killed is, is Young Master Xia Lin!"
Xiao Jinyu's pupils dilated in shock. He crushed the phone in his grip out of sheer force, then threw it away and rushed out!
"My lord, my lord! Where are you going?" The butler's voice couldn't stop Xiao Jinyu. Thinking of what he had just heard on the phone, the butler was both sad and worried.
He immediately called and told the Third Master about this, then contacted Young Master Jiang Minghuai. He drove his own car to chase after Xiao Jinyu.
A few days later...
Xia Lin's funeral was very simple. There weren't many people attending, including Xiao Jinyu, the Third Master, Jiang Minghuai, Ling Feng and others.
Xiao Jinyu had a fierce argument with the Third Master and decided to hand over the company to Jiang Minghuai and go wandering the world on his own.
"His heart is already dead," the Third Master said.
"Maybe time will heal his grief?" Jiang Minghuai said, not even sure of himself.
In another world...
"Second Young Master? Where are you, Second Young Master? It's lunchtime. Second Young Master?"
Inside the General's Mansion, seven or eight servants were looking for the second legitimate son of the General's Mansion. Their young master was fourteen years old but still very naughty. He often disappeared at mealtime, so it was quite normal for several servants and maids to shout for their second young master in the General's Mansion. Everyone was used to it!
Xia Lin was hiding in a tree, feeling rather helpless. Actually, he didn't want to be so naughty, but before he transmigrated into this body, the original owner was just a mischievous kid.
Fortunately, since Xia Lin came, he had gradually changed. Everyone praised him for becoming more and more mature and steady year by year, and he didn't cause much trouble anymore.
Hiding in the tree and watching everyone anxiously look for him was the limit of Xia Lin's current naughtiness.
Finally, not wanting to stay in the tree any longer, Xia Lin deliberately made a noise. A servant with sharp ears finally found him.
"The Second Young Master is hiding in the big maple tree in the South Courtyard. Come quickly, everyone!"
The other servants and maids rushed to the tree. Looking at the ground about three or four meters away from him, Xia Lin didn't dare to jump down. The servants quickly fetched quilts and spread them on the ground so that Xia Lin could jump down.
"It's so hot and tiring. Hurry up, or I'll jump down now! Anyway, there are already several layers of quilts," Xia Lin said.
The servants were startled and quickly stopped him. "Second Young Master, wait a while. Don't jump yet. We'll spread a few more layers."
"But I'm so tired. I want to get down now!" Xia Lin wiped the sweat off his forehead and decided that even if he played a prank next time, he wouldn't hide in the tree anymore.
