This situation naturally requires a calm person to handle it, and since Qiu Hu isn't here, it can only be A Wan.

“I’ve been to the security area and checked the surveillance footage, but I didn’t find anything. It just means they’re very familiar with this place, or rather, they’ve become very familiar with it. Further investigation is needed.”

"It was the chef who discovered it when he came to cook, so he called me first. Then I came back and checked everywhere. I found that there were only these three places where things were wrong. It seemed like the living room was used to vent because something was missing on the second floor."

Qiu Hu agreed, saying, "It looks like it to me too."

When they bought the villa in Jinyinwan, it was because of the good security and the fact that they probably wouldn't be staying in Qincheng for long. Fortunately, there weren't any important things or documents in the villa.

"Brother Awan, go and investigate!" Qiu Hu instructed.

Ning Yizhan then went up to the second floor and interjected, "Here's the direction I gave you: the Lin family of Mucheng."

Awan was somewhat puzzled; how did he know? But he couldn't directly refute him, so he looked at Qiu Hu, "Young Miss, this..."

"As he said."

"Yes, Miss."

Looking at the mess on the ground, Qiu Hu felt a headache coming on. He sighed and waved his hand, "Ayi, replace them all."

The house was perfectly fine, but now it's a complete mess. I can't stay here tonight.

After giving the instructions, she pulled Ning Yizhan back, saying, "Let's go, stop looking."

Qiu Hu was a little hungry. She had been busy all noon and hadn't eaten much. "Let's go out and eat first. I'm hungry."

Let's go!

Before they left, they made sure to order takeout for Awan and Ayi, since they had let the chef go home first.

Ning Yizhan was still thinking about what had just happened. "The thieves seemed very anxious, as if they were in a hurry to find the item, like they didn't have much time left."

"So we need to find the people first, and I feel there's more than one group of people."

"Great minds think alike," Ning Yizhan remarked, noting that they had the same idea.

Qiu Hu added, "Maybe if we find out who the other group is, we'll know?"

"I have a feeling the next wave of people will be here soon!"

Qiu Hu said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. Actually, this had nothing to do with you in the first place."

Ning Yizhan was a little angry, his expression clearly showing it. "What are you saying? What is our relationship? Besides, I asked for it myself. I asked you for the necklace first."

Ning Yizhan took Qiu Hu to a restaurant for a meal, and after the meal, the two returned to their original state.

The two got into the car and started to have a problem. Qiu Hu's room was definitely not available for the night. Should they stay in a hotel? It didn't seem necessary. Ning Yizhan had an idea. "Ah Hu, why don't you come home with me? I have room at my house."

Qiu Hu was somewhat at a loss, unsure whether he should agree. "Should I stay at your place? Is that appropriate?"

"Why not? It's very convenient. Come on over, you're welcome at my home."

"Oh well."

Having obtained Qiu Hu's consent, Ning Yizhan was overjoyed; today was a wonderful day to be in the same space as his girlfriend.

After a long while, Ning Yizhan led her back to Wang Jingyuan's residence. They took the elevator, changed into slippers, and went inside.

Ning Yizhan pushed her inside, and she turned to ask him, "Where will I stay tonight?"

"Stay in my room? Where else would you like to stay?" Ning Yizhan raised an eyebrow at her with a wicked smile.

Qiu Hu gradually figured out his tactics, and she always lost first. Tonight, she was determined to take the initiative. Looking at the man behind her with a regretful expression, she said, "Ah, I thought there would be a guest room or something. This house is so big, can't you even find a guest room?"

"..."

She then put on a deceived expression, "You weren't trying to trick me into going home, were you? You even said you had a place to stay?"

Ning Yizhan quickly explained, "No, no, I was planning to sleep in the living room." He really meant it; heaven and earth bear witness.

Qiu Hu looked like she had misunderstood him and asked considerately, "Oh, aren't you very tired? Should I go stay at a hotel instead?"

"Not tired at all, not tired at all."

Qiu Hu tried hard to suppress a laugh, "Alright then." She finally felt like she had won.

She pointed to the room she had visited last time, "Your room is over there, right? I'm going to wash up now, I need to get my beauty sleep."

"Yes."

She went in, then came out again, and blurted out, "Brother, I don't have any clothes."

Ning Yizhan had just walked to the sofa and sat down when he was called "brother" and jumped up. He was pleasantly surprised by this long-lost address. "What did you call me?"

“I have no clothes. I’ll be uncomfortable sleeping in this.” Qiu Hu pointed to the clothes she was wearing. This is not how a young lady should live.

"Call me brother, baby." He started grinning foolishly again.

Sometimes Qiu Hu really couldn't stand him. His features were practically coming together. "I told you I don't have any clothes, can you please fix this? Can you please pay attention to what's important?"

“You called me brother, that’s the important thing!” Ning Yizhan answered without hesitation, and went back to find her clothes.

Qiu Hu was extremely helpless. "Your focus and my focus seem to be different."

The two walked to the wardrobe, and Ning Yizhan found her a white shirt, held it up against her, and said it fit perfectly. "How about this one? Is it alright?"

She glanced at it; the length was just right. "That'll do!"

Qiu Hu is getting more and more into it. She took the clothes and, as a reward, tiptoed and kissed Ning Yizhan on the cheek. "Then I'm going!"

Ning Yizhan pulled her back into his arms, bringing his devilish face close to Qiu Hu's, and kissed her fiercely and urgently. She did not struggle, but wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to him. Their breaths mingled, the man held her slender waist, their bodies were tightly intertwined, and they both felt the temperature of the other rising higher and higher, the atmosphere was tender and passionate.

Suddenly, the man released her, his previously languid and magnetic voice turning hoarse. "Go take a shower first," he said, then hurriedly left the room and closed the door.

Qiu Hu was left alone in the room. What was wrong with him? Why so suddenly? He walked into the bathroom, puzzled.

After closing the door, the man squatted down on the ground by the door, glanced down, and thought to himself, "How pathetic. Right now, I need to take a shower too."

After calming down for a while, he went into the room to get his clothes, not daring to look around. Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, he realized that his calming down had been in vain, and he took the longest shower ever.

After taking a shower, he didn't dare to go to Qiu Hu again. Just before going to bed, he heated up a cup of milk, knocked on the door, and only went in when he heard someone inside call, "Come in." He said, "I heated up a cup of milk for you. Drink it and go to sleep!" After saying that, he left a kiss on the forehead of the woman lying on the bed and left, not daring to linger.
