deliberately approach you

Could it be that guy Huahua who sneaked back and tried to play tricks and scare me?
This was Tang Xiaowan's first thought.

So, she pretended to be calm and opened the door, only to see a servant carrying a ceramic stew pot approaching. The girl's steps were light. Although her complexion was darker, she still had a simple and honest face.

"Miss Tang, your..."

"Take it, I don't want to eat it."

Tang Xiaowan deliberately raised her voice to make sure she could hear it from far away.

The maid was a little surprised, and mistakenly thought that she came at the wrong time, or maybe she did something wrong, and suddenly became nervous, even the tray in her hand began to shake a little.

When leaving Leng's old house, Mrs. Leng repeatedly emphasized that the four of them must be careful.

If anyone dares to make the slightest mistake, or make Tang Xiaowan unhappy, he will not even think about going back to Leng's house in the future, he will be fired and kicked out.

This means losing high salaries and losing the opportunity to settle in Huangcheng.

The more the maid thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she quickly replied, "Miss Tang, you haven't eaten your bird's nest today. When the young master left just now, I told you to finish eating before going to bed. If you... I'm afraid, the young master will be unhappy."

"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 maid was very grateful for her gentle words, and felt that Tang Xiaowan was a very good master. After marrying into the Leng family in the future, she would definitely treat these humble servants well.

"You must remember to eat it, the taste will not be good if it is cooled."

"Okay, got it, thank you."

"It's all right, Ms. Tang, you don't have to be polite, then I'll go down first, if you have any orders, just call out, I'm a light sleeper, I can hear you."

"I'm fine, go and rest."

"Yes, Miss Tang, good night."

After the maid left, Tang Xiaowan walked slowly towards her bedroom.

The distance of only a few meters made her feel like walking tens of meters, and when she was about to enter the door, she secretly glanced at the direction of the stairs, but there was nothing.

It's definitely not Huahua. If it was him, he would have jumped out to scare me by this time.

Could it be that I have auditory hallucinations?
However, just as Tang Xiaowan walked into the bedroom and was about to taste the bird's nest, she heard the sound of jumping again, this time upstairs.

Could it be a burglar in the study?
Yes, yes, no one has lived in this house for a long time, maybe it has been here several times before.

Oh my god, could it be that masked man?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaowan hurriedly forced herself to calm down, picked up the custom-made gadget, and tiptoed towards the stairs.

Fortunately, she usually has the habit of bare feet, so she didn't make any noise along the way, but every step seemed to step on the apex of her heart, which made her so nervous that she couldn't breathe.

Arrived on the third floor, the corridor was empty.

A chill rushed from the soles of her feet to her forehead, and her intuition told her that there must be someone in the study.

What if you can't beat it?
Forget it, life-saving is the most important thing, steal it if you want, anyway, grandma has already explained, there is nothing very important in it, if you encounter an emergency, don't be brave, just turn a blind eye.

Immediately, she strode away.

However, after opening the door, everything inside was as before, and it was still the same as before grandma was hospitalized.

Could it be my hearing loss?
Tang Xiaowan slowly sat down on the mahogany armchair with a sense of age, took a brush from the pen holder, and started to spin it.

After turning around and around, she didn't know how many times, she suddenly found that the direction of a book on the bookshelf was wrong, it was supposed to be placed upside down, but at this moment it was facing upright.

It was a small mark she made on purpose.

Grandma has been in the hospital for the past few days and cannot come back. Tang Xiaowan spends the night in the study looking for treasures.

And that book was where she just turned to it last night. She was afraid that she would forget it, so she deliberately put it backwards, just to make it easier for her to continue hunting for treasures when she comes back today.

Good guy, run so fast!
Could it be that no one left yet, lying on the outer wall, or waiting on the roof?

When I leave, 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.

A moment later, a man in black wearing a mask appeared on the outdoor roof.

He moved quickly along the wall, his movements were light and agile, like a vigorous black panther.Every step is accurately stepped on the depressions on the wall, as if walking on flat ground.

In the blink of an eye, he entered the study.

He quickly and accurately took a book off the shelf, and then flipped through it quickly, as if looking for something.

Time passed quietly with the sound of flipping books.

His eyes are always firm, with a kind of determination not to give up until he reaches his goal.

Finally, the man in black found a hidden compartment in a seemingly ordinary book.A gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and he carefully took out a yellowed secret letter from the secret compartment.

He did not open the letter, but carefully stuffed it into the inner pocket of his jacket, and then left the study.

On the roof, Tang Xiaowan watched the man in black disappear into the night, but did not stop him.

"Grandma, are you sure someone will come? So...you deliberately asked me not to let Huahua stay overnight, in order to ensure that things can be stolen smoothly?"

Gradually, Tang Xiaowan fell into deep thought.

She suspected that this was a game planned by grandma in advance, waiting for someone to jump into it.

……

At this time, on the other side, the presidential suite.

Li Zishen had just come out of the bathroom and was about to go to the study to deal with work when his cell phone rang. It was Bailong who was in Jincheng.

"what's up?"

"Brother Shen, Su Luoyi... an accident happened, his face was seriously injured, and his current mental state... is very bad. Half an hour ago, he was sent to the hospital for treatment, but the situation is a bit bad, and he has cognitive impairment. People are dumb."

Bai Long's voice was very deep, and he paused several times in the middle.

Li Zishen: "..."

"Or those homeless men from last time?"

"No, they were two gangsters, habitual offenders, who were shot dead by the police on the spot."

This means not even keeping alive!
Country Y is too far away from Jincheng, and it is indeed beyond Li Zishen's control.

"Another step ahead!"

"Brother Shen, it's my fault that I didn't have enough manpower. The clue was interrupted. Please punish me."

"It's not your fault, it was all designed in advance, starting with her stealing a sample of medicine, then setting fire to stealing books at Jinyuan Academy, and food poisoning of tourists, maybe our Li family really offended something People, come to seek revenge."

"That's all Leng Lingxiao's words to confuse the public. It's definitely a peer competition. You must..."

"No, not in the same company, no, now it seems that they are indeed accomplices with those who attacked Meiyuan at night, and Leng Lingxiao must know something."

"Then does Miss Tang need..."

"Arrange as soon as possible, no, arrange immediately, don't let Xiaowan find out, do it secretly."

"Yes, Brother Shen."

After the call was over, Li Zishen had no intention of opening his laptop to deal with work matters.

He paced back and forth in the study, thinking about the next plan of the mastermind behind the scenes, and whether Tang Xiaowan would be involved again.

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the car keys and strode out of the hotel.
