He realized that time was running out, but he hadn't found anything this time, and it would be a huge loss to leave like this.

He glanced back at the bed, and suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He ran straight to the bed and lay down.

Qin Wanru usually lies in bed like this, right?

Chu Zhongtian is really lucky to be able to sleep with such a beautiful woman every day. If I had that chance, I wouldn't want to get out of bed every day.

Smelling the faint lingering fragrance on the bed, which was Qin Wanru's unique perfume, he was completely intoxicated.

He lay on the bed, greedily inhaling the fragrance, as if this would allow him to pin the goddess of his dreams beneath him.

He hugged Qin Wanru's pillow and sniffed it desperately. Normally, he would never have had the chance to get so close and smell her hair.

As he was smelling the contents, a thought suddenly struck him. He quickly sat up and began rummaging through the pillow. Finally, he found a hidden compartment and pulled out a small booklet. Seeing the words "account book" on it, he quickly flipped through the contents and saw the records. Wasn't this exactly what he was looking for?

"Hahaha, I've finally found it! It's fate!" The man laughed arrogantly, as if he felt that he had been destined for greatness.

"Who are you!" Just then, a delicate shout came from not far away.

He felt a jolt in his heart, looked up, and found Qin Wanru standing not far away, watching him warily.

Oh no, it seems I spent too much time in bed, so much so that she's already back.

At this moment, Qin Wanru also saw what he was holding and her face paled: "You scoundrel, how dare you!"

Without even bothering to call for help, he flashed forward and attacked the opponent.

The man in black then moved, desperately jumping out of the window.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late and was stopped by Qin Wanru at the window.

Qin Wanru was, after all, a sixth-rank official, and seeing that the account book had been stolen, she showed no mercy whatsoever.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged more than ten blows.

The man in black, who was holding an account book in one hand, suffered a lot of losses. He was soon unable to dodge a move and Qin Wanru ripped off his face mask.

Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Qin Wanru was taken aback: "It's you?"

I dreamt last night that I was writing a novel, brainstorming the plot. I even remember designing two really exciting major plot points that moved me to tears. But when I woke up this morning and tried to write them down, I suddenly realized I'd forgotten them all! Damn it…
