Chapter 2362 Two questions
If not him, who else could Master Xiao talk to?
But soon, the store manager found out.

no.

Master Xiao wasn't talking to him.

Master Xiao didn't even look at him.

After a few moments of confusion, an idea suddenly occurred to the store manager.

protector?!

Master Xiao told him that there was a mysterious guardian in his flower shop.

Is it...

Is Master Xiao talking to that mysterious guardian now?

……

The store manager's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

He couldn't help but clench his hands on the table.

……

Yingzhao nodded.

That's the guy.

Nervous.

It didn't like that human.

Because of him, Hua Xiaozi has been frowning for several days.

It had only been a few days since he recovered, but Hua Xiaozi started to frown again when he thought about that human being again.

……

Xiao Xiao's fingers gently stroked the scales Ying Zhao gave him.

It is obvious that this is not an ordinary scale.

Such dreamy colors and overly delicate shapes...

Is it... a monster's?
but……

He didn't sense any evil spirit.

On the contrary...

He leaned closer to the scales.

It tastes like water.

……

Is this another monster that is good at restraining its evil spirit?

Xiao Xiao discovered that the monsters he encountered now were becoming more and more "cunning".

Even though there are fewer and fewer humans seeing them, the monsters are becoming more and more vigilant.

He smiled slightly.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, you should always verify it.

just in case
The "sublimated" version of the story told by the youngest may soon appear in reality.

"Flower shop manager."

Xiao Xiao turned and looked at the store manager.

"Yes!"

The store manager called out subconsciously.

Then he realized that his reaction seemed a little exaggerated and flustered, and the manager smiled embarrassedly.

"Master Xiao, go ahead."

But I couldn't suppress my curiosity.

Was Master Xiao really talking to the Guardian just now?

Because he was too focused on this problem and even forgot himself, he reacted so strongly to Master Xiao's call.

Xiao Xiao curved his eyebrows.

"Could you please ask Xiao Zhu about Mr. Shan's situation?"

"For example, has Mr. Shan been to work these days?"

"If you didn't go to work, could you please ask for Mr. Laidan's home address?"

The store manager was stunned.

Hey?
"this."

He didn't quite understand Master Xiao's intention.
He opened his mouth to ask Master Xiao directly.

The words came out as, "Okay."

He was stunned again.

Then he shook his head.

Maybe it’s because Master Xiao was his savior.

Thinking of this, he was no longer troubled.

He took out his cell phone.

".Luckily, Grandma Luo insisted that Xiao Zhu and I exchange phone numbers."

"Otherwise, I can only go to the store and ask the two old men for Xiao Zhu's contact information."

The store manager dialed the number.

A mechanical electronic sound came from the phone.

"No one answered."

The store manager dialed the number again.

The third time
The store manager became increasingly anxious.

what happened?

Is it because the other party doesn’t answer unfamiliar calls?

its not right.

His incoming calls should have a name prompt.

In any case, for the sake of the two elderly people, even if Xiao Zhu doesn't like to interact with him, he won't go too far.

Rejection of calls or something like that shouldn't happen.
".Hello."

A suppressed voice of impatience came from the phone.

There is still some doubt.

The store manager breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got through.

But, doubts?
The store manager smiled bitterly.

He didn't know whether Xiao Zhu was wondering whether someone who had never called him before called him or...
He had already been blocked by the other party.

The other party has no idea that he is the owner of this number.

"Xiaozhu, I am-"

"I know who you are."

The other party interrupted the florist rudely.

"Manager of the flower shop, why did you think of calling me?" As if he realized that his attitude was not good, the man slowed down his tone in the next sentence.

The store manager smiled and didn't mind.

"Xiao Zhu, you are friends with Mr. Shan, right?"

The store manager proceeds step by step.

Didn't get straight to the point at the beginning.

After finally getting through on the phone, he didn't want to "scare away" the other party.

"Shan Zhe?"

Xiao Zhu blurted out.

His friend's last name is Shan.
This surname is not very common.

He immediately named the friend he knew whose surname was Shan.

……

"Yes, it's your friend Mr. Shan."

The store manager nodded slightly.

"able-"

"Do you know Shan Zhe?"

Xiao Zhu's surprised cry interrupted the store manager.

The store manager smiled nonchalantly, "Mr. Shan used to come to the flower shop frequently to buy flowers for a while."

“I’m considered a regular customer of the store.”

"oh oh."

Xiao Zhu suddenly realized.

"Is this for your girlfriend?"

"Ever since that guy got a girlfriend, he's been like a good boy - ahem, a model boyfriend."

"I can't stop talking about my girlfriend."

"Feed us dog food and show us your affection every day."

“We’re all getting tired of it.”

Xiao Zhu complained jokingly.

When talking about his friends, Xiao Zhu's tone became much better.

……

The store manager frowned slightly.

Judging from Xiao Zhu’s words, Mr. Shan and his girlfriend were really in love at the beginning.

What happened later that made Mr. Shan lose his passion for this relationship?

Because of fear?

The store manager thought of what Mr. Shan had said.

He shook his head.

Let’s focus on what we can do now.

"Xiao Zhu."

"Did Mr. Shan go to work today?"

"No."

"He took a leave of absence."

"what happened?"

Xiao Zhu asked back.

He didn't quite understand the florist's intention in asking this question.

"Then do you know the address of Mr. Shan's home?"

The store manager asked the second question.

……

"What's the address of Azhe's house?"

Xiao Zhu was surprised.

"What do you want Azhe's address for?"

But he didn't say whether he knew Shan Zhe's address.

……

This vigilance made the store manager smile.

"I have something to ask Mr. Shan."

"Mr. Shan came to my shop last time and told me some of his stories."

"Not in a good mood."

"I'm a little worried about him."

The store manager said half-truthfully, "Besides, I just found out today that he left something in my store."

“I want to give it back to him.”

……

"Hey, why bother?"

Xiao Zhu shook his head subconsciously, "Do you really need to send it to him?"

"I called him-"

The sound on the phone stopped suddenly.

After a few seconds, "…Give it to me."

"I'll give it back to him next time I see him."

……

Xiao Zhu's change of words made the store manager guess something.

"Have you seen Mr. Shan recently?"

……

"……No."

Xiao Zhu became a little irritable again.

"Who knows what he did?"

"I don't answer the phone."

“No message returned.”

"If he hadn't at least asked for leave from the company, I would have thought he had disappeared."

"What are you doing..."

Xiao Zhu complained quietly, "What are you so busy about..."
