Chapter 23: A Weird Mansion
Zhao Yiming's words caused the three to suddenly huddle in the corner of the room, squatting like kids whispering in emergency tones.
It was a ridiculous sight. The old couple and Zhao Yiming could only stare at them blankly.
"Are these really the gang members? They look more like kids plotting a midnight snack raid" Zhao Yiming muttered, shaking his head.
Mr. Wu nodded vigorously. "Gang? Hah! They just look like brats to me!"
"Well, at least they're enthusiastic," Zhao Yiming agreed.
"Is it really okay to leave everything to them?" Madam He added, glancing worriedly at the huddled trio.
Both Zhao Yiming and Mr. Wu looked even more doubtful now.
But after a moment, the three finally stood up. Luo Yanyu turned toward them, cleared her throat, and spoke with forced seriousness.
"Ahem. You'll be meeting Madam Ruan now... and, uh, you'll need to speak for us."
Zhao Yiming's raised eyebrow. "Speak for you? Did you three lose your voices or something?"
"It's just... better if you handle the talking. Boss likes new faces," she said, avoiding eye contact.
