Chapter 269: The clue is interrupted
It can't be that guy who sneaks back, trying to pretend to be a ghost and scare me?
This was Tang Xiaowan's first thought.
So, she pretended to be calm and opened the door, but saw a maid with a ceramic stew cup coming over, the girl walked lightly, although her complexion was darker, but she also had a simple and honest face.
"Miss Tang, your ......"
"Take it down, I don't want to eat it."
Tang Xiaowan deliberately raised his voice very high to ensure that he could be heard from afar.
The maid was a little surprised, mistakenly thinking that she had come at the wrong time, or maybe she had done something wrong, and suddenly she became nervous, and even the tray in her hand began to shake a little.
When leaving the Leng family's old house, Mrs. Leng repeatedly emphasized that the four of them must be cautious.
If anyone dares to make a mistake, or make Tang Xiaowan unhappy, don't think about going back to the Leng family in the future, just dismiss and drive out.
This means that you will lose your high salary and lose the opportunity to settle in Huangcheng.
The more the maid thought about it, the more frightened she became, and hurriedly replied: "Miss Tang, you haven't eaten the bird's nest today, just now when the young master left, he specially instructed you, saying that you must finish eating before going to sleep, if you ...... I'm afraid that the young master will be unhappy. β
"Oh, okay, it's late, go and rest, I'll do it myself, thank you."
After the words fell, Tang Xiaowan took the tray.
The gentle words made the maid very grateful, and felt that Tang Xiaowan was a very good master, and after marrying into the Leng family in the future, she would definitely treat them as lowly servants.
"You must remember to eat it, it will not taste good when it is cold."
"Okay, got it, thank you."
"It's all right, Miss Tang, you don't have to be polite, then I'll go down first, if you have any orders, just shout directly, I sleep very lightly, I can hear it."
"I'm fine, let's go and rest."
"Yes, good night Miss Tang."
After the maid left, Tang Xiaowan walked slowly towards his bedroom.
The distance of only a few meters made her feel like she had walked dozens of meters, and when she was about to enter the door, she secretly glanced at the direction of the staircase, but there was nothing.
It's definitely not Huahua, if it was him, he would have jumped out to scare me at this time.
Could it be that I'm having auditory hallucinations?
However, just as Tang Xiaowan walked into the bedroom and was about to taste the bird's nest, he heard the sound of jumping again, this time upstairs.
It can't be a burglar in the study, right?
Yes, yes, this house hasn't been inhabited for a long time, and maybe it's been here several times before.
Oh my God, could it be the man in the mask?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaowan hurriedly forced himself to calm down, picked up the customized gadget, and tiptoed to the staircase.
Fortunately, she usually has the habit of being barefoot, so she didn't make any noise along the way, but every step seemed to be stepping on the tip of her heart, making her so nervous that she couldn't breathe.
The third floor arrived, and the hallway was empty.
A chill rushed from the soles of her feet to her head, and her instinct told her that there must be someone in the study.
What if I can't beat it?
Forget it, it's important to save your life, if you want to steal, you can steal it, anyway, grandma has explained, there is nothing very important in it, if you encounter an emergency, you don't have to be reckless, just turn a blind eye.
Immediately, she strode forward.
However, after opening the door, everything inside was the same as before, and it was still the same as before my grandmother was hospitalized.
Could it be that my hearing is declining?
Tang Xiaowan slowly sat down on the mahogany circle chair with a sense of age, took a brush from the pen rest, and began to spin and play.
Circle after circle, I don't know how many times she turned, she suddenly found that a book on the bookshelf was in the wrong direction, it should have been placed upside down, but at the moment it was right.
It was a small mark she had made on purpose.
In the past few days, grandma has been in the hospital and can't come back, so Tang Xiaowan has been relying on the study to explore treasures at night to pass the time.
And that book was the place she only turned last night, because she was afraid that she would forget, so she deliberately put it upside down, just so that when she came back today, it would be convenient for her to continue to explore the treasure.
Good guys, weirdly fast!
Wouldn't anyone be lying on the faΓ§ade or waiting on the roof?
Wait until I'm gone, and then turn back?
"Hey, I'm so tired, forget it, I'll be lazy today, and I won't practice calligraphy."
Tang Xiaowan deliberately yawned twice, complained, and then slowly left the study and went back to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Moments later, a man in black wearing a mask appeared on the rooftop of the outdoor house.
He moved swiftly along the wall, his movements light and agile, like a sturdy panther. Each step is precisely stepped on the hollow in the wall, as if walking on flat ground.
In the blink of an eye, he entered the study.
He quickly and accurately removed a book from the shelf, then quickly flipped through it again, as if searching for something.
Time passed quietly in the sound of flipping books.
His gaze was always firm, with a determination not to give up until he achieved his goal.
Finally, the Man in Black finds a hidden compartment in a seemingly ordinary book. A flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he carefully took out a yellowed secret letter from the dark compartment.
He didn't open the letter, but carefully tucked it into the inside pocket of his jacket before leaving the study.
On the roof, Tang Xiaowan watched the man in black disappear into the night, but he didn't stop him.
"Grandma, are you sure someone is coming? So...... Deliberately instructed me not to let Flowey stay overnight, in order to ensure that things can be stolen smoothly? β
Gradually, Tang Xiaowan fell into deep thought.
She suspected that it was a game that her grandmother had designed in advance, waiting for someone to jump into it.
β¦β¦
On the other side of the moment, the Presidential Suite.
Li Zishen had just come out of the bathroom and was about to go to the study to deal with work matters, when the mobile phone rang, and it was Bailong who was in Jincheng calling.
"What's the matter?"
"Brother Shen, Su Luoyi...... Something happened, his face was seriously injured, and his current mental state is ...... Very bad, half an hour ago, I was sent to the hospital for treatment, but the situation was a little bad, there was cognitive impairment, and the whole person was demented. β
The white dragon's voice was very low, and there were several pauses in the middle.
Li Zishen: "......"
"Or the same homeless people last time?"
"No, it's two thugs, habitual offenders, who were shot dead by the police on the spot."
This means that there is no living mouth!
Country Y is too far away from Jincheng, and it is indeed beyond the control of Li Zishen.
"Another step ahead!"
"Brother Shen, blame me for not arranging enough manpower, the clues have been interrupted, please punish me."
"It's not your fault, it's all designed in advance, starting with her stealing the medicine, then the Jinyuan Academy setting fire to stealing books, and the food poisoning of tourists, maybe it's really our Li family...... Someone you have offended, and you have come to seek revenge. β
"That's all Leng Lingxiao's nonsense, it must be peer competition, you must not be ...... by him"
"No, it's not a peer, definitely not, maybe it's really the same as those people who attacked Meiyuan at night, Leng Lingxiao must know something."
"Miss Tang, do you need ...... there?"
"Arrange it as soon as possible, no, immediately."
"Yes, Brother Shen."
After the call, Li Zishen had no intention of opening the notebook to deal with work matters.
He paced back and forth in the study, thinking about what the next plan of the mastermind behind the scenes would be, and whether Tang Xiaowan would be involved again.
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the car keys and strode out of the hotel.
