Have the cherry blossoms bloomed yet?

Tang Yue's eyes darkened. Her family had been under constant surveillance by the Japanese, so she had spent the last few months studying Japanese culture, and cherry blossoms were their favorite. Tang Yue's spiritual energy directly attached itself to Nie Youyu.

She said she always felt that this person seemed a bit strange, and she hadn't known what the problem was until now.

Tang Yue continued to probe the study with her mental energy, but found nothing suspicious.

"Little Yueyue, what's wrong?"

Lai Xiang finally composed herself, only to see Xiao Yueyue sitting in a chair, frowning. Tang Yue looked up at Lai Xiang, who was bending down to look at her, and smiled gently, "Sister Lai, I'm fine."

She looked out the window and said, "Sister Lai, it's getting late, I want to go back to the army."

Lai Xiang had originally intended to send her away as well, "Okay, I'll take you back now."

The two went downstairs together, and when they were halfway down the stairs, Nie Youyu asked from the top of the stairs, "Where are you going?"

The two stopped and turned around. Lai Xiang explained, "Uncle, I think it's getting late today. Little Yueyue is too young, and it's not appropriate for her to go back to the army base so late. I was just about to take her back."

"Oh? Aren't you going to eat? We agreed to invite Company Commander Tang to my house for dinner."

Tang Yue smiled and said, "You're too kind, Chief. But it's too late today. I'll come again another time when I have the chance."

Nie Youyu didn't stop him. "Then let the guards take you there."

"Thank you, sir."

Once outside the courtyard, Tang Yue stopped Lai Xiang, "Sister Lai, I'm taking a car straight back. You can stay here."

"No, Yueyue, I'm worried about you going back alone. I'd better go back with you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Nie Youyu's bodyguard, Wang Zheng, out of the corner of his eye.

Tang Yue reached out to stop Lai Xiang, but despite her small size, Lai Xiang couldn't take a single step forward. "Sister Lai, don't worry, I can really do it myself."

For some reason, Lai Xiang understood what Tang Yue meant from her eyes. She could only stand there, saying, "Then, Yueyue, please be careful."

"Okay, don't worry, Sister Lai. I left something in your room. You can look at it after I leave."

Lai Xiang nodded, not minding. She came with Tang Yue, and she didn't bring a bag or anything, so it probably wasn't anything big.

Tang Yue and the guard left the family compound in a car. After driving for only two miles, they saw a small road ahead with no one around. Tang Yue took advantage of Wang Zheng's moment of braking and shifting gears to knock him unconscious. Then, she controlled one of his legs to stop the car.

Tang Yue turned off the car and remained seated inside. Not far from Nie Youyu's house, Tang Yue planned to thoroughly investigate the place again.

Wu Jinghui hadn't really cooked properly in the kitchen; she knew Lao Nie hadn't genuinely invited the young girl to dinner. After they left, the couple exchanged a glance and went upstairs to the study together.

Nie Qianwen pouted as she watched her parents exchanging knowing glances. "Sigh, it's always like this. I wonder what they're hiding from me. Humph! I'll find out sooner or later."

Wu Jinghui entered the study and her first question was, "Have you won them over yet?"

Nie Youyu scoffed, "A little brat, already putting on airs. But what she doesn't know is that she's going to pay with her life for her stupidity."

Wu Jinghui was a little worried, "Old Nie, didn't you say that girl was quite skilled? Those people you arranged..."

"Hehe, don't worry, no matter how capable she is, she's still just a child. There are some things she can't control."

Urai Kei smiled. "That's good. By the way, she didn't notice anything, did she?"

Nie Youyu suddenly looked up at her, his eyes sharp. Wu Jinghui's heart skipped a beat under his gaze, and she took two steps back. "What, what are you doing?"

Nie Youyu looked at Wu Jinghui as if she were dead, "Don't forget your place, and don't say things like that again."

"Okay! Okay, I understand."

Nie Youyu snorted coldly, then waved his hand, and Wu Jinghui hurriedly left the study. She took several deep breaths afterward. It seemed she had truly been frightened.

Tang Yue smiled. This family was really interesting, but Sister Lai really couldn't stay in that house any longer. However, Tang Yue frowned. Why didn't Nie Youyu lay a hand on her just now?

Is he afraid she'll die in his house and he won't be able to explain it? How cautious!

Tang Yue slowly probed the walls of the study with her spiritual power. She felt that someone who could add a blank sheet of paper to a gold bar would not have left nothing else in the room.

Perhaps he dared not take those things out, and could only write a few words to express his comfort.

Tang Yue searched back and forth several times but found nothing, which she found very strange. Logically speaking, this study was Nie Youyu's private territory, and he should have more things in it.

However, the items in the cabinets and desk in the study were quite ordinary; apart from the gold and jewelry she had collected, there was nothing else she found.

She had looked at the wall and didn't find anything unusual about it.

Tang Yue tried to find some mechanisms in the study, but because she was using mental energy to probe, she couldn't do many things. Tang Yue was a little frustrated; if only she had X-ray vision, but she certainly didn't have that ability.

She originally intended to withdraw her mental energy and leave directly to see what surprise Nie Youyu had prepared for her on the way.

But she was somewhat unwilling to give up, so she went directly to Nie Youyu and Wu Jinghui's bedroom and took a look around.

The couple has a considerable amount of wealth. In their bedroom, a locked box contained bundles of RMB notes, estimated to be around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. Furthermore, Uehara Satoshi certainly has a lot of jewelry.
