Chapter 2078 - 2069: The Person Behind the Mask

None of them seemed to want to speak, so Ye Ning raised her eyebrows and continued, "Alright, since you’re not responding to me, then forget it... Where’s your boss? Leaving me here, and even going to such lengths to clear a space for me and prepare food, I really feel bad about it."

Before the few girls could speak, the door suddenly opened.

Ye Ning looked up and immediately saw that oppressive clown face appear once again.

Ye Ning’s mouth paused, thinking to herself, knowing that this man was very dangerous.

However, she wasn’t someone who feared danger.

Although at this moment, she was here, not knowing where the future would lead, or even being treated as an experiment, this was still her way to understand him recently.

She continued eating, flashed a charming smile in his direction, pointed to the items on the table, and said, "It tastes great, thank you for the effort, and specially preparing my favorite food."

His face, expression hidden, stayed fixed there, standing straight and looking at Ye Ning, silent for a few seconds, continued to speak with that raspy voice, "As long as you enjoy it."

Ye Ning said, "Then, what are you so painstakingly investigating me for? I’m very curious, just how much do you know about me?"

He walked over slowly, "You’ll find out gradually."

Ye Ning shrugged, "Why does it have to be gradually? That wastes your time, right? I think your time should be quite valuable. Otherwise, why bring me here? Just tell me directly, and after that, we can figure out what to do. Wouldn’t that be better and more straightforward?"

He stood aside, "Fine, so when will you stop investigating us?"

Ye Ning hesitated, "Well, I’m just a bit curious, why don’t you take off your mask for me to see, once I get to know you, I won’t be so interested in investigating anymore."

Through the mask, his gaze seemed slightly cold, Ye Ning’s mouth twitched a little, feeling that his look was even more oppressive.

Ye Ning’s eyes moved, suddenly she reached out, trying to grab at his mask.

Unexpectedly, he was faster than her.

Quickly grasping her wrist, his dark eyes, through the mask, seemed even icier.

Ye Ning’s hand stiffened, looking at him...

Now it was awkward.

With a bashful smile, she automatically ignored the chill in his eyes, saying to him, "Look, there’s a fly, let me catch it for you, why..."

After a moment of silence, he finally released her hand, "Keep your hand here, let them handle the fly. Such beautiful hands, using them to catch flies would be a bit of a waste."

Seeing that he could still joke, she laughed along and stood up.

"So, can I have my phone back? You see, I can’t contact my family, and they’d be worried about me. Surely you have family too, you should understand that feeling."

He turned around, not speaking.

But, he gestured with his hand to someone nearby.

Ye Ning thought, he didn’t immediately deny it, so maybe he does have family.

Though it could be a facade, there are subconscious behaviors after all.

Finally, the phone was handed to her.

Ye Ning quickly turned it on, happy to see that it had been carefully charged to full capacity.

She smiled and picked up the phone, just to see...
