The small team of ninjas who were protecting secretly suddenly felt their hearts wrenched. They looked at the old man, and saw their target of protection open the package without any precautions and put the candy of unknown origin in his mouth. At that moment, the ninjas almost drew their guns and ran away.

A very light sweetness that went straight to the heart broke through the mental defenses that the old man had built up over half his lifetime in a high position - come to think of it, how long had it been since he had eaten candy?

It’s been several decades...

During these decades, he has been managing such a large family, working diligently and not daring to slack off for the slightest.

Inside and outside the family, there are people everywhere who covet various interests and want to plan various benefits. No matter whether it is the so-called "old friends" or his own sons and grandsons, everyone always wears a mask of respect in front of him, speaks insincerely, and has various obscure purposes... How could the old man not see it?

But the more he could see it, the lonelier he felt, and the more he missed his granddaughter, Yingtian Nanmu, who had once been sincere, caring, selfless, and fearless... and who even dared to be willful in front of him.

And today, someone actually gave him a small candy, and it was Nanmu's daughter...

Those eyes, exactly the same...

As he thought about it, the old man burst into laughter.

The old man's gloomy face didn't scare little Alice just now, but now he suddenly laughed and scared her instead.

……

Just like that, little Alice found a great-grandfather downstairs of her house.

Extra 40. Alice Chapter-2-

The Yingtian family is a famous family on the island country. They have a very large manor. The manor is in traditional Japanese style, elegant, simple, and has a heavy sense of history.

Looking from the outside, the high eaves are light yellow and very clean. The towering eaves are covered with thin blue-gray tiles, and on the tiles there are pink cherry blossom branches in twos and threes, which is very beautiful.

The door was black and looked like it was made of wood. It was very spacious and people were coming and going. Everyone who came in and out was dressed elegantly and had an extraordinary demeanor. They were either high-ranking officials in the political world or business celebrities, and there were faces from all over the world.

But among such a group of people, there are still two people who stand out, like two crescent moons guarded among the stars.

Lai Mu and Alice got out of a bright yellow sports car, and as soon as they stepped out of the car, they attracted a lot of astonished glances.

Alice was wearing a blue and white dress with intricate patterns, which was slim and elegant. Her long golden hair was tied into a low ponytail and hung on one shoulder, which made her look more graceful and elegant.

Lai Mu was wearing the same blue and white outfit, but it was just a loose sweatshirt and shorts, and her long light blue hair was draped behind her, almost reaching her waist.

The two of them stood together, wearing similar clothes and holding hands tightly, looking as beautiful as a pair of American girls (crossed out) wearing couple outfits.

They are like a pair of good sisters who have a harmonious relationship and even wear matching clothes. The older sister is plump, charming, and gentle, while the younger sister is petite, delicate, youthful and lively.

Lai Mu patted the door of the sports car beside him. The bright yellow sports car beeped twice, started the engine, drove around passers-by, and found a corner in the parking lot not far away to stay there.

Every year, Alice would come back to stay for a few days, but this was the first time she came with Lai Mu.

The two followed the crowd toward the gate, but three or five young men coming towards them stopped them.

"Stop! Where are you from? Can you just walk through the gate of Yingtian's house if you want to?"

The skinny young man in the lead came forward arrogantly, squinting his mouth and looking at the two people arrogantly, "Oh... the daughter of that family traitor, what? You still want to go in through the main gate?"

Yingtian Hiroshige had many brothers, and their descendants formed the family's side branch. He himself had only two sons. The youngest son died early, and the eldest son had many children and branches, totaling dozens of people.

The young man in front of her was of the same generation as Alice, and was of the eldest son's branch. Most of those following him were from the side branches.

They knew about Alice before, and knew that she was favored by the old patriarch, so they never provoked her. Even if they disliked her, they just treated her as air.

Today, what happened? Is your brain broken?

Extra 41. Alice Chapter 3 - A White-haired Maid

The evil young man from a wealthy family stopped two poor and weak women who were powerless in public.

Seeing the bad guys approaching with a group of followers, grinning, Lai Mu bit his lower lip, mustered up the courage to bravely step forward and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm not doing anything... I just want the person behind you to apologize for what her mother did. As long as you make us happy, it's not impossible for you to go in..."

The young master of a wealthy family said this with a smile, attracting many people behind him to echo him, and for a moment, the sound of laughter was continuous.

"Her mother betrayed this family, so she must be forgiven by us! Why don't you just..."

A dark light began to flash in the evil young master's eyes, and he looked at the two of them unscrupulously, as if he was thinking of some disgusting idea. It was unknown what he thought of, but a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Ying Tianyan, you'd better not do this."

A female voice suddenly appeared, her words were polite but her tone was as cold as ice.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you teach me to do...things...?"

Ying Tianqin turned his head angrily, but the moment he saw the person coming, he subconsciously lowered his voice and took a half step back in fear. Even his friends standing behind him were silent.

Lai Mu followed their line of sight and looked curiously. The person these people feared was actually... a maid? ?

The person was wearing a plain indigo maid uniform with a plain white lining and a white maid hat on her head. The clothes were wrapped tightly and it was obvious that they were real maid work clothes, not some role-playing uniform.

This maid, who looked about thirty years old, was a ripe fruit, but her face was as indifferent as a machine, and her hair was tied up in a rare white color. She might have had cosmetic contact lenses, but her pupils were red, as if stained with blood. She just stood there expressionlessly, and there was a solemn atmosphere that filled the whole place.

"Maid... Your Excellency..."

Ying Tianqin shouted softly, his eyes somewhat wandering.

As the young master of a master's family, how could you be so afraid of a mere maid?

Extra 42. Alice Chapter 4 - Troubled Times

Yingtian's family has two forces directly under the head of the family. One is the ninja, who is responsible for protecting the personal safety of the head of the family and important people, and is also responsible for dealing with some "external conflicts".

The other group had no name. All we knew was that they were responsible for internal surveillance and carrying out purge missions, with spies throughout the family... The only thing we knew was that their leader was the woman in front of us, a 'maid'.

Once, a family member stole confidential technology and started a fire. With the help of a team of mercenaries, they were almost able to escape. At this moment, a maid who usually had no sense of existence suddenly jumped up and killed more than a dozen mercenaries, and cut the traitor into a stick.

After that incident, the hidden 'big boss' was exposed to everyone... and gradually many strange and bizarre legends emerged.

For example, it is said that her hands are stained with the blood of many members of the Yingtian family, and many people who disappeared inexplicably were executed by her. It is also said that anyone in the family, your subordinates, your most beloved lover, the aunt who sweeps the floor, etc., may be her spies, and those who suddenly lost power and retired in the family were all because they were caught in a mistake.

"If there is nothing else, could you please leave here first, young master?"

The head maid, Junko Kanemiya, always had a cold tone, but used only honorifics, which created a strange sense of disparity.

"Oh... OK, OK, I just have something to do, so I'll leave first..."

Ying Tianqin laughed and hurriedly scattered with a group of people around him, running away like birds and beasts.

After the unimportant people left, the head maid looked at Lai Mu and the others and nodded calmly, "Come with me, I will tell you the reason."

"Okay, Aunt Junko."

Alice smiled and took Lai Mu's hand, holding it behind her.

Hearing Alice's response, Junko Kanemiya paused, then led the way as if nothing had happened, and her faint voice floated behind her.

"The head of the family is already very old and has plans to abdicate, but the next head of the family has not yet been decided... So you came at a very bad time. Now is a time of turmoil."

"Some people are beginning to become nervous... That Young Master Ying Tianqin is just a pawn of others."

Extra 43. Alice Chapter-5-Two Hironari Eida?

"Otherwise, you might as well just give the position of the head of the family to Alice."

Lai Mu tilted his head, looking at the layout of the manor and joked casually.

Alice nodded with a smile and said, "No."

"I'm not interested... Many people here don't like me, and I don't like them either. Wait for Grandpa... After this, I probably won't come to this place again."

"You are really hurtful, Miss Alice. Don't I, your 'aunt', have the weight to ask you to come and see me?"

The head maid, Junko Kanemiya, walked in front and led the way. She turned her head slightly and looked over. Her tone was still indifferent, but there was clearly some resentment in it, and her eyes with red pupils were slightly narrowed.

"Well, how could that be... Lai Mu, this woman wronged me..."

The tall beauty acted pitifully and asked for help from Lai Mu, who was much shorter than her. She clasped her hands together and gently placed them on her chest, her eyebrows slightly frowned, as if she had really suffered some great injustice.

……

Soon, the group passed through pavilions, towers and several corridors and arrived outside an inconspicuous courtyard.

"We are here. Please go in by yourselves."

Jin Gongjunzi bowed gracefully and turned away with dignity and grace.

Alice knocked on the open door, but no one answered.

Walking in, there were two white-haired old men sitting in the yard. In front of them were nineteen chess pieces arranged vertically and horizontally, with the white and black chess pieces entangled with each other, and the fight was fierce.

Behind one of the old men stood a girl in a light green jacket. She was leaning forward slightly, looking at the chess game with a smile on her lips, immersed in it.

As you get closer, you can see that the two old men look almost exactly the same, not only in appearance, but also in their clothes and hairstyles, and even the way they hold the chess pieces is exactly the same.

What's happening here? ?

But I've never heard that Alice's grandfather has any brothers alive...

Seeing Lai Mu's puzzled look, Alice covered her mouth lightly and smiled happily.

It really scared him.

It’s not often that you see the little guy with a confused look on his face, and he looks even cuter this way… That slightly open mouth, wide eyes, and the silly look of him looking at you in confusion and seeking help, so kawaii!

Extra 44. Alice Chapter 6 - Shadow Warrior

"Well, ahem... the one on the left is my great-grandfather, and the one on the right is his shadow warrior."

When the two old men heard the voice, they raised their heads slightly and smiled at the two men, then lowered their heads to look at the chessboard. The way they raised their heads, the height of the corners of their mouths, and even the wrinkles on their faces were almost identical.

On the chessboard, it seems that the final moment has been reached, and the decision of life and death depends on only two or three pieces.

Alice leaned close to Lai Mu's ear and whispered, "According to tradition, the head of the Yingtian family has an identical Kagemusha... I don't know how they did it. I couldn't tell them apart when I first saw them... In fact, there are still many details that are different. The great grandfather is thinner, and the Kagemusha grandfather has calluses on his hands. He was born a ninja and is very good at fighting."

"He can even hold on for an hour in Aunt Junko's arms."

Wow…
