"Where should we start looking?"
"At the place where Gui Qi's presence is the strongest!"
Huo Jingyu scanned the yard with his eyes and lowered his voice, "The west wing!"
"Let's go!"
Exiting the living room, they walked along the corridor and soon reached the west wing. This room had been reserved for his aunt since before her marriage. Although it wasn't far away, she would come to stay for a few days every year. Huo Jingyu lifted the curtain and gestured for Yan Kongyue to enter first.
Upon entering, they didn't notice much at first, except for a large wooden box, nearly as tall as a person, leaning against the wall. Gui Qi couldn't make out its color clearly.
"What is this?" Huo Jingyu, who had entered after Lin Qian, was the first to ask.
Neither of them bothered to lift their eyelids at such an ignorant question; they found it beneath them to answer.
"Wait, why is this thing in my aunt's room?" Lin Qian glanced at the pondering Idiot. "Isn't this something you ordered? Didn't you see the label on top?"
"I did!"
"Open this box!"
"Oh!" Huo Jingyu turned around to find some tools.
Yan Kongyue shook her head, pulled out a pair of gloves from her small bag, and skillfully put them on before starting to dismantle the box with her bare hands. It was just wooden slats; within a few moments, she had taken apart the wooden box. Inside was another layer of cardboard and black cotton. After removing everything, Yan Kongyue couldn't help but smile.
"This screen is quite interesting! Let's find out where it came from!"
"Okay!"
Just as Lin Qian stepped outside, he ran into Huo Jingyu and Li Butler.
"Lin Qian, what are you doing?"
"Looking for you."
"Here, tools!"
"Oh dear, it's all been taken apart. Yan Kongyue, can you ask where that screen came from?"
"The screen?" Huo Jingyu looked at Li Butler with confusion.
"The screen!" Li Butler slapped his thigh. "Oh, my memory! This screen was custom-made by the master. It just arrived a few days ago. The master wasn't home that day, so I didn't have anyone unpack it. I didn't expect they would deliver it to this room."
"What about your grandfather?" Yan Kongyue's expression turned serious.
"He's in the main room!"
"Well, the old man is so disturbed that he can't even get up from bed. He's a bit dazed and his blood pressure has risen."
"Let's go take a look!"
"Oh, right! Lin Qian, you and Huo Jingyu lift the screen out to the yard and set it up. Don't let anyone else touch it."
"Understood!"
"Let's go, Li Butler!"
"Hey!"
"Why are we the ones lifting it?" Huo Jingyu asked, his mind filled with questions.
"Huo Jingyu, what's wrong? I've noticed your intelligence has been a bit concerning these past few days. You've opened your spirit but still seem so slow."
"It's just that this is a solid wood screen; it weighs over a hundred pounds. There's no way we can lift it."
"We can do it! Hurry up and get to work. Don't you want to know why Yan Kongyue is looking for your grandfather?"
"Oh, right, right, right!"
