There were many guests in Ben's house. Tinge sat down for a while and said to Ben, "When did you move to your new house? I wanna go upstairs to take a look."
Ben's expression changed in fright. He quickly smiled and said, "I just moved here not long ago. Actually, it was built before and was given to me by my big brother."
Tinge nodded and walked upstairs. Ben quickly followed and said loudly, "The design of the second floor is a little simple. To be honest, I've always wanted to change it."
Alyssa hid in one of the guest rooms. Hearing Ben's voice, she tensed up. In the next second, she heard the sound of Tinge. Her mind went blank for a moment, then she turned around and hid in an empty closet next to her.
Ben glanced at the room where Alyssa hid. To be honest, he really hoped that Tinge would take the initiative to check that room. This way, it wouldn't be his fault, and Alyssa couldn't blame him.
However, Tinge just took a casual look at the second floor and went downstairs. He was a little bored here. He seemed to have no common topic with these old friends now. He couldn't help but wonder what Ji Creamy was doing right now.
As Tinge thought this, he took out his phone and texted her.
Not long after, Creamy took a photo for him. They were at a very elegant restaurant with five dishes on the table.
Tinge looked at them and suddenly wanted to leave and enjoy this meal with them.
"Take a picture of yourself." Tinge demanded her.
Creamy could only walk out of the room and take a selfie on a balcony for him. Tinge was finally satisfied and saved it.
"Ben, where's the beauty with you last time? Why hasn't she come?" Just as Tinge was admiring Creamy's selfie, he suddenly heard someone asking Ben. He glanced at Ben and found he stiffened.
"She … she's busy. She didn't come." Cold sweat broke out on Ben's forehead.
"And your brother hasn't returned yet? Did something happen to him? Did you call the police?" Another person asked.
Ben's back trembled even more, and his hand that was holding the wine shivered for a moment. Half a glass of wine fell on the floor.
In the eyes of others, Ben might be too sad to hold the wine, but Tinge discovered that he seemed to be nervous and afraid instead of sad, causing him to be alert.
As far as he knew, Ben was long dissatisfied with his wealthy and influential brother. He still remembered that many years ago, he had said that if his big brother disappeared one day, he would be able to inherit all his money. Tinge didn't know if this was a joke.
"I've already called the police, but there's no news from the police. He must have offended too many people. I've already advised him not to do those illegal things." As Ben spoke, he sat on the sofa, with his hand touching his forehead and his face full of pain.
Tinge suddenly felt that something was wrong. He had just found out about Ben's brother's disappearance. Logically speaking, now that his brother had disappeared, Ben should look for him anxiously instead of having a party here to celebrate his birthday. Could it be …
Tinge was shocked. Ben, who was trying to persuade people to drink, was really a little strange to him.
Thinking of this, a warning arose in his heart. If Ben killed his brother for money, then it proved that he had become an utter criminal.
"Tinge, let me propose a toast to you." Suddenly, Ben brought a glass of wine over and handed it to Tinge, "We haven't seen each other for many years. You're still as outstanding as ever. I'm different. I've lived all these years in vain. I hope you don't mind it. Let me drink first."
Tinge was a naturally paranoid person. Once he suspected that something was wrong, he couldn't relax. Seeing Ben handed over the wine, he shook his head. "My girlfriend and I are try to have a baby recently. She won't let me drink."
