Chapter 999 - 998: Young Master Is Going to Find His Wife!

Nalan Ye Jue finished handling business affairs, and the test results from Wu Zhiming also came out.

"Young Master, the energy of this Crystal Ball is astonishing; it has already ruined two of my detectors. I dare not continue testing, as it feels like it’s going to explode. I’m not playing with it anymore..." Wu Zhiming had been too stressed out in one day, realizing that the science he does not understand in this world is truly endless.

As a result, his fervor for intelligent robots inexplicably waned quite a bit — after all, he now knew that robots were not the most powerful and advanced things in the world.

Nalan Ye Jue frowned: "Send it back. I will study it myself."

Nightfall gradually approached.

He held the Crystal Ball in his palm, having stared at it for an entire afternoon.

Only when a servant knocked on the door and came in to ask whether he wanted dinner did he finally look up: "You all go ahead and eat. No need to save any for me."

The servant was about to leave.

Noticing the luminous Crystal Ball in his palm, suddenly let out a sound: "Ah, this thing..."

Nalan Ye Jue’s gaze sharpened: "Have you seen it?"

The servant respectfully replied: "Young Master, I’ve seen a new servant in the garden, Wang Er, holding a similar Crystal Ball, cherishing it like a treasure, unwilling to let go."

Nalan Ye Jue narrowed his eyes: "Wang Er? Bring him in."

The servant scratched his head: "Young Master, but Wang Er accidentally died a few months ago."

Nalan Ye Jue’s eyes grew deeper: "How did he die?"

Servant: "In the garden corridor, it seemed due to overwork... he was an honest kid, diligent upon entering, maybe working too hard without resting, caught a cold, and passed away suddenly."

Nalan Ye Jue: "Why wasn’t I informed?"

Servant: "Cough cough, Young Master, that night was the day of your and madam’s wedding..."

Who would dare report such an unlucky matter?

Besides, the steward gave Wang Er’s family a substantial burial fee afterwards, handling it properly, so this matter was never brought up to Young Master.

Nalan Ye Jue looked solemn.

A servant holding a Crystal Ball died in the garden on the night Qin Xin had an incident?

Is there any connection to Qin Xin’s disappearance?

It’s clear now that the one who returned is not Qin Xin, so Qin Xin is still missing; could it be related to the Crystal Ball?

Nalan Ye Jue stared at the Crystal Ball, feeling as though it contained a deep world.

He paused to ponder.

Getting up: "That’s enough, go do your work."

After dismissing the servant, he turned and went to the old mansion’s temperature-controlled cold storage.

Because he had ordered 24-hour surveillance, tonight was the first night Lu Yi personally led his men on patrol in the cold storage.

Seeing Nalan Ye Jue come over, he was quite surprised.

He thought Young Master had already bid farewell... but now what is this?

"Young Master, do you have anything to instruct?"

"You do your work, I’ll handle it myself."

Nalan Ye Jue’s expression was calm, as he walked into the cold storage.

He stopped in front of Qin Xin’s hibernation pod, lowered his eyes to stare for a long time.

The temperature in the temperature-controlled cold storage was 0—4℃, while he only wore thin clothing, even his eyebrows had frosted over.

Yet, he remained motionless, deeply gazing at her.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth, hoarsely said: "I’m sorry, I can only temporarily place you here. Although you do not have the soul of Little Madam, you are still Little Madam’s original body; even though your existence is meant to kill me, I will properly and completely preserve you."

Taking a deep breath, he finally turned: "I must go find her now. I also hope you can rest well, waiting for the day of her return."
