Chapter 39: The Bubble Bursts
Su Yunting's three-legged cat kung fu was sweating and panting after moving for a while.
She gasped and sat in the corner and said, "No, I'm going to rest for a while." ”
Li Xiao said: "Go and sit in the study." ”
"Yes." Su Yunting got up and walked to the study, "It's easy to be found outside." ”
"I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."
Su Yunting's footsteps paused, and his tongue was almost knotted: "Are you so nervous?" ”
Li Xiao repeated: "I said I was afraid that you would catch a cold, what's wrong?" Why the surprise? ”
"Are you concerned about me?"
Lixiao was stunned for a moment, it turns out that this is caring?
"I ...... I just thought that our relationship had eased, and we should have proper care as friends......"
"No need to explain!" Su Yunting took two steps back, his expression was a little unnatural, and turned around and entered the study.
Lixiao froze in place.
Did he say the wrong thing?
Didn't chasing the wind say that proper care can narrow the distance between the two?
Why doesn't she look happy?
In fact, Su Yunting didn't want to do this either.
She sat in Qin Chuan's study and was distraught, picking up a book and flipping through it.
The reason why she reacted this way was because Lixiao's sudden enthusiasm reminded her of Qin Chuan at the beginning.
At first, she expressed her admiration for Qin Chuan many times, but Qin Chuan was always noncommittal, neither agreeing nor refusing, just hanging her like this.
It wasn't until Qin Chuan discovered her talent for making weapons that he began to respond to her a little.
Thinking about it carefully, Lixiao also knew that she would transform her weapons, and Lixiao later rebelled, and she also needed her ability.
Could it be that Li Xiao, like Qin Chuan, approached her just to get her money and use her abilities?
She was really scared.
The painful lesson of her previous life made her unforgettable, and it was impossible for her to love someone so unreservedly in her life.
Although Lixiao and Qin Chuan seemed to be a little different, she didn't dare to bet.
Because she can't afford to lose.
After Li Xiao noticed her weirdness, he always felt that there seemed to be another layer of separation in the distance that the two had just narrowed.
He tried to say something to break the deadlock, but Su Yunting didn't seem to be interested.
He couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Chasing the wind, you dare to lie to me, if she alienates me because of this incident, I will pick your skin!
At this time, Chasing Wind suddenly sneezed, revealing his position.
Several guards who were patrolling immediately discovered his location and shouted, "Who ?!" ”
"There are thieves!"
"Catch him!"
Chasing the wind could only run away from the study.
As he ran, he wondered, how could I sneeze when I was so good?
Hearing the commotion outside, Qin Chuan got up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to the eighth master, a thief came in."
"Ahh You can't be here to steal my dowry, are you? Bai Crescent was worried.
Qin Chuan didn't want to have an accident, so he put on his coat and walked outside: "I'll take a look." ”
"I'll go too!" Bai Xinyue hurriedly put on her clothes, and Qin Chuan had already walked away.
The entire Eight Kings' Mansion was in a commotion, and the guards searched everywhere with torches, but found nothing.
"How many thieves are there?" Qin Chuan asked.
"One." The head of the guard said.
"What?" Qin Chuan became angry when he heard this, "It's just a thief, do you have to go to such great lengths?" A bunch of rubbish! ”
"The eighth master doesn't know, that little thief has extremely high light skills, and he disappeared after a while, which is very tricky."
"Idiot! That thief must have come for the dowry! Won't you take someone to the dowry to guard? ”
Qin Chuan said and slapped the man hard.
The man covered his face and was knocked to the ground, and hurriedly got up and said, "The eighth master is right, the little one will go, this will go!" ”
With that, he gathered a group of men and headed straight for the warehouse.
The corners of the mouth of the chasing wind hiding in the shadows reached the root of his ears.
I was worried that I couldn't find where the dowry was, so they took the initiative to lead the way!
Halfway through the follow, Chasing Wind saw a lot of boxes wrapped in red cloth in front of him.
It looks like that room is a warehouse.
He quickened his pace, arrived at the warehouse before the men, and then quietly left a fire fold in the corner.
Qin Chuan walked quickly to the front of the warehouse, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that these boxes had no traces of being moved.
He reached for the box, and although he already knew that the treasures were his, he still wanted to take a good look.
Just when he couldn't help but want to open the box, he suddenly heard someone wonder: "Why does it smell of smoke?" ”
"It's smoking!"
"It's not good, it's out of the water! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
Seven or eight men rushed in and carried the dowry chest out, while a few others turned to fetch basins and water to extinguish the fire.
Fortunately, it was found early, only a few boxes were burned out a little, and there was no loss.
"The water is coming, the water is coming!"
A man ran over with a basin of water in his hand and splashed his brain.
It's chasing the wind.
This basin of "water" went down, and the fire not only did not decrease, but "boomed" and jumped up, instantly spreading to the entire warehouse.
"That's wine!" Someone screamed.
"Catch him!"
But look at it again, where is there still the shadow of chasing the wind? He didn't know where to hide and laugh for a long time.
"Quick! Move the boxes out first! Qin Chuan didn't care much, and personally took the lead in moving the boxes.
The scene was chaotic for a while.
I don't know how long it took for the fire to finally be extinguished.
Bai Xinyue was late, and when she saw the scene in front of her, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly shouted: "My dowry!" ”
Qin Chuan's face was covered with black ash, and he panted: "Only a small part was buried inside, and most of them were moved out." ”
Bai Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she still touched the box with a painful face, very reluctant.
Suddenly, she frowned and realized that something was wrong.
The box burned through a corner, and the contents leaked out.
It wasn't gold or silver jewelry at all, it was a pile of stones!
"How so?!"
Bai Xinyue suddenly panicked, and opened the box, only to see that the entire box was full of broken stones!
Qin Chuan was also shocked, he didn't care about resting, and opened several boxes in a row, and sure enough, they were all stones.
"White Crescent, what's going on?!" Qin Chuan roared angrily.
"I want to ask you!" Bai Xinyue was not to be outdone, "When I left the Su family, it was all real money, why did I become a stone when I arrived at your house?" ”
"Qin Chuan, you are so dark, do you want to swallow all my dowry?!"
"Fart!" Qin Chuan slapped Bai Xinyue in the face, "I haven't touched these dowries since I moved in!" ”
He suddenly realized: "No wonder you didn't let me take a look just now, saying, did you do something and quietly transfer the dowry?" ”
Bai Xinyue said with tears in her eyes: "Am I crazy? What's in it for me? ”
Qin Chuan sneered: "I understand, any sister breakup, you and Su Yunting's slut played it to me!" You're deliberately teaming up to trick me! ”
Bai Xinyue was about to refute, when she saw a raging fire not far away, and someone shouted, "Oh no! The study is out of the water! ”
