Chapter 394: Second test
"It’s already quite late. Do you mind spending the night with us?" Lanni invited politely.
Ruby knew that it had nothing to do with time. This was a security measure. They were probably afraid that if she left the apartment, she would scheme ways to have someone change the results later, or even come up with some excuse to miss the test. The guest room she would be staying in will probably be bugged too, just in case she called someone to help her carry out the plot.
Even so, she pretended to be dumb. She couldn’t blame anyone for being cautious against her. After all, the first test had made their little trust plummet.
So she nodded as though she didn’t realize a thing. "That’s alright."
Lanni stood up immediately, as though she was worried that Ruby might change her mind. "Then I will clean up the guest room. It has been uninhabited for a while."
When she got to the guest room, she quickly changed the sheets and replaced them with a new pair. Although the guest room had not been used since Xiaoshi moved out, the part-time housekeeper always cleaned it along with the rest of the house so all the surfaces were clean.
She checked that the air-conditioner was in good shape then took out her phone and called Luna and whispered into the phone. "Sis, I need a favor. The SOS emergency type."
"What is it?"
She could hear the tapping sound of keys from the other side, so she guessed that Luna must be busy. She suddenly was not sure whether to ask for her help. But since she had already made the call, she may as well go through with it. "I need a bug as soon as possible. Do you have any?"
Luna paused for a while, probably because she was confirming. After a few seconds, she answered, "I do. I will get someone to send it to you."
"Thanks, you’re a lifesaver." She sighed in relief, then asked for the bug to be sent as a mysterious gift. She was relieved when Luna said that she would keep it in the pockets of new jeans, then send the Jiang Family’s butler to deliver it.
