62: Let's solve it together

Shi Xu only thought the bird he killed was merely surveillance trained by someone to monitor others; he didn't know it was someone's Spirit Pet.

But a Spirit Pet, as he understood it, should mean the same thing, right?

Shi Xu threw this question to Su Mianmian, his bewildered expression looking a little cute.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the time for jokes, so Su Mianmian seriously explained to him what a Spirit Pet meant to a person.

Su Mianmian also had a Spirit Pet; she knew how important a Spirit Pet was to a person.

She wondered what crazy things that person would do once he sensed his Spirit Pet had died.

Su Mianmian pondered for a moment, chin in hand, then looked up at Shi Xu with a serious expression and asked, "When you killed this bird, did anyone see you?"

If someone saw him, then... Although Shi Xu was very powerful, she didn't want him to encounter that person.

Shi Xu thought for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "Probably only the surveillance cameras saw it, but they weren't powered, so they couldn't record anything.

Now, only we know about this matter."

He looked at Su Mianmian with curiosity; it was the first time she had worried about him so much.

To be honest, he was quite pleased.

Su Mianmian didn't know what Shi Xu was thinking; she just wanted to resolve this matter quickly.

Looking at the dead bird, Su Mianmian felt she could ask book book.

"I'll go ask my Spirit Pet to see if it has any solutions."

"You go do what you need to do for now!"

"But I suggest you destroy these clothes."

Su Mianmian looked at the clothes Shi Xu was wearing, shook her head, and advised.

She didn't know if that person could smell the killer of his Spirit Pet, so it was better to be safe than sorry.

Shi Xu nodded, not refuting her words.

After Su Mianmian left, Shi Xu returned to his room, took a shower, and changed his clothes.

At Su Mianmian's request, he burned the clothes.

Su Mianmian flashed into the space, wasting no words with book book, and immediately told it what Shi Xu had done.

Finally, she curiously asked it for a solution to the problem.

When book book heard that Shi Xu had actually killed someone's Spirit Pet, it was so scared it nearly jumped.

This man was really too bold!

It truly admired him.

"Mianmian, maybe we shouldn't keep a husband like this!"

"I'm a little afraid he might kill me too eventually."

book book's voice was trembling with fear.

Su Mianmian looked at it speechlessly, not understanding what it was thinking.

"Shi Xu didn't mean to; this bird kept staring at him, so he mistook it for 'surveillance' kept by someone, and accidentally killed it."

"He also didn't know what a Spirit Pet was; if I hadn't explained it to him just now, he would still be in the dark."

"What I'm worried about now is whether Shi Xu will be retaliated against by the bird's owner."

"Can that person know who killed his Spirit Pet?"

Su Mianmian was truly worried sick for Shi Xu.

Shi Xu sometimes did things that... she was speechless.

His intentions were good, but couldn't he have captured it alive?

Su Mianmian couldn't help but sigh.

"That's true, your man didn't do it intentionally."

"Don't worry, Mianmian, that owner won't know."

"That person is some distance from his Spirit Pet, probably across from you."

"Unless this person can see through walls and was constantly watching the bird, otherwise, this person couldn't possibly know who killed it."

book book used a branch to wrap the bird around itself, investigated it, and came to a conclusion.

As it investigated, it suddenly felt a bit troubled.

"Mianmian, you might be in for some bad luck."

"This owner is quite malicious; it's entirely possible he'll just wipe out everyone without knowing who did it."

"Your building is a bit dangerous."

book book sensed that the owner who bonded with this bird harbored great resentment, and its leaves rustled more and more, expressing a little worry for Su Mianmian and them.

Hearing it say this, Su Mianmian couldn't help but feel troubled.

They didn't even know who the enemy was; what were they supposed to do?

"Is its owner a good person?"

"If not, then let's just wipe him out too."

"I don't want to live in constant fear."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Su Mianmian's eyes; she genuinely wanted to eliminate this potential danger.

"From what I've investigated, this owner often uses it to monitor various people, so I don't think he's a good person."

"For specifics, you can investigate yourselves."

"What I've found is that this person is on the thirty-eighth floor across the street."

book book told Su Mianmian all the details, and after listening, Su Mianmian flashed out.

She didn't take the bird with her; book book said taking it out would make it easy for its owner to detect.

Su Mianmian left the bird with book book, letting it dispose of it however it pleased.

When she came out, Shi Xu happened to be looking for her.

Seeing him, Su Mianmian quickly pulled him inside the door.

Shi Xu saw her urgency and couldn't help but be curious.

What could make her so anxious?

"Mianmian, did something happen?"

Shi Xu asked, looking at Su Mianmian with a puzzled expression.

Seeing him still asking, Su Mianmian couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face.

After pinching, she herself froze.

Shi Xu also looked bewildered.

Both of them froze at the same time, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.

Su Mianmian was the first to react, quickly letting go of his face and raising a hand to brush her hair, trying to cover her embarrassment.

Seeing her like this, Shi Xu couldn't help but smile.

"I'm sorry!"

"I just thought you weren't worried at all, and I got a little angry."

Seeing Shi Xu smile, Su Mianmian awkwardly explained to him why she had pinched his face.

Shi Xu shook his head indifferently, "It's okay, I know you're worried about me."

Su Mianmian subconsciously wanted to refute, opened her mouth, and found she couldn't.

She really was worried about him.

Su Mianmian lowered her head, mocking herself a little.

She hadn't expected to worry about Shi Xu so quickly.

"My Spirit Pet told me that the owner of this bird won't let go of the person who killed her Spirit Pet, so..."

Su Mianmian didn't finish the rest of her sentence; she wanted to hear Shi Xu's thoughts.

Shi Xu immediately continued without hesitation, "So you want to kill him too?"

Su Mianmian: "..."

Indeed, Shi Xu was one of the people who understood her.

Su Mianmian nodded, not hiding her thoughts.

Shi Xu lowered his gaze in thought, then looked up at Su Mianmian again, his expression serious as he said, "I can handle this myself; you don't need to be involved anymore."

Su Mianmian immediately objected; what did he mean by that?

"Shi Xu, are you trying to discard me after using me?"

"That won't do; I don't agree."

Su Mianmian's face was full of refusal.

Shi Xu hadn't expected Su Mianmian to think that of him, and he gave a helpless smile.

"How could I be that kind of person?"

"I just don't want you to get dragged into this."

"People like this hold strong grudges, and I don't want you to be hated as well."

Shi Xu reached out and ruffled Su Mianmian's head, explaining.

Su Mianmian shook her head, her expression serious, "She already hates all of us; do you think I can escape?

She hates this entire building.

Dealing with her sooner is what's beneficial for all of us."

Su Mianmian said to Shi Xu with a clear-headed expression.

She was not only helping Shi Xu but also helping herself.

She didn't want to die at some unknown time.

That would be truly unfair.

Shi Xu thought for a moment, then finally nodded, agreeing with her idea.

Su Mianmian was right; this matter was no longer just his own.

The enemy was hidden, and they were exposed; if they didn't resolve this matter soon, the threat to them would be too great.

Once Su Mianmian saw that Shi Xu had thought it through, she told him everything she had learned from book book.
