Chapter 174 Rescue
The Su couple, who were plotting and discussing, had no idea that Chu Ci and the secret guards Fifteen and Sixteen, with the help of "Xing'er", had quietly climbed onto their roof and heard their conversation clearly.
"Hmph, it's true that two different people can sleep in the same bed!" Chu Ci cursed inwardly, venting his pent-up anger before saying to Shiwu Yan, "Go check immediately. How did the Su family find out Minghui's identity?"
Fifteen is well aware of the seriousness of the matter, and he also wants to find out who is behind the Su family.
After all, the Su family dared to do such a bold thing as kidnapping Princess Minghui, so they certainly would not be unprepared and without any support.
However, if Princess Minghui makes any mistake, they will definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
"Boss, the most urgent priority is the safety of Princess Minghui." Fifteen said solemnly, "The Su family dared to act this way. There may be complicated relationships and forces behind them. We must not take it lightly."
Seeing this, Sixteen also hurriedly advised, "Boss, now that we have confirmed that Princess Minghui is in the Su family, we should not delay any longer. The longer we wait, the greater the danger the Princess may face."
Chu Ci knew very well that what No. 15 and No. 16 said was indeed reasonable.
She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said firmly, "You go and rescue them, I'll cover behind you."
"Boss, you go first. I'll follow behind you." Fifteen and Sixteen said almost in unison. They looked anxious, their eyes filled with worry for Chu Ci.
"Don't talk nonsense. We haven't fully understood the Su family's situation yet. If this continues, I'm afraid more unpredictable variables will arise."
"And you should believe in my ability. I have the ability to deal with situations that may arise later." Chu Ci said calmly.
Fifteen and Sixteen wanted to persuade him again after hearing this, but Chu Ci did not give them any reason to refuse.
Her face darkened, and she said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense, and make a quick decision. Rescuing the princess as soon as possible is the most urgent task."
After she finished speaking, her eyes revealed determination and resoluteness.
In fact, Chu Ci had already asked "Xing'er" to scan the Su family's warehouse in his mind.
Chu Ci thought to herself, she just didn't believe that if all the treasures of the Su family disappeared, the Su couple could still remain calm and composed.
Fifteen and Sixteen didn't know that in just a moment, Chu Ci had already set his sights on the Su family's property.
The two exchanged glances, each seeing determination in the other's eyes. Then, they remained serious and said, "I will definitely not let you down."
Chu Ci nodded slightly, "Half a cup of tea, half a cup of tea later, start immediately. After you succeed, no matter what sound you hear, do not stop."
After saying that, Chu Ci's figure flashed, and he moved quietly towards the bottom of the house at an extremely fast speed.
And the moment he jumped off the roof, he turned on the stealth mode for "Xing'er", ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
During this half cup of tea, Chu Ci has been moving at a very fast speed.
Fifteen and sixteen held their breath, not daring to breathe, calculating the passage of time in their minds, for fear of missing the best opportunity.
Fortunately, everything went very smoothly.
When the time came, Fifteen and Sixteen burst out with astonishing speed in an instant. They jumped into Yan Yaqin's room as fast as the wind and lightning.
Each of them wielded a knife, knocking the Su couple unconscious. Then, they carried Princess Minghui and dashed off in the agreed-upon direction like a flying arrow. Their movements were as smooth and clean as flowing water, without the slightest hint of drag.
Almost at the same time, a voice, neither male nor female, echoed like thunder throughout the Su family mansion. The voice was sharp and loud, shouting, "The warehouse has been robbed—"
This sudden shout was like a thunderclap exploding over the Su family, instantly breaking the original peace of the Su family.
However, to Chu Ci's surprise, after the loud shouting, the Su family did not become as chaotic as Chu Ci had imagined.
On the contrary, the servants and guards of the Su family seemed to have practiced it countless times. They quickly investigated what they needed to investigate and immediately searched for people who needed to be searched.
"Could it be that the Su family is hiding some great secret?" At this moment, such a doubt suddenly arose in Chu Ci's heart.
Thinking of this, something seemed to flash through Chu Ci's mind, but he was unable to grasp it.
It’s just that the body reacts faster than the brain. Since the matter of a warehouse alone cannot cause chaos in the Su family, what if it happens a few more times?
So, not long after the Su family’s open warehouse was robbed.
While the head of the Su family had not been found for some reason, the private vault in the yard of the old man of the Su family, which had always been regarded as confidential and whose exact location and specific details were rarely known, was also stolen shortly afterwards.
Now, the servants and guards of the Su family really began to get scared. The calmness on their faces disappeared in an instant, replaced by fear and panic.
However, this is just the situation that appears on the surface.
In fact, after so many of the Su family's treasures were stolen one after another, Old Master Su just yelled perfunctorily twice, and then acted as if nothing had happened. The matter was over so simply -
But the more this happens, the more it shows that the secret hidden by the Su family is not simple at all.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci kept saying in his heart that he was lucky.
Then, she didn't dare to stay any longer and returned as quickly as possible.
What Chu Ci had never expected was that when she just stepped into the mansion, the Fifth Prince and Fan Jingrui, who were supposed to be far away in Minyue carrying out the anti-piracy mission, unexpectedly came back.
"You..." Chu Ci was about to speak.
Fan Jingrui rushed to Chu Ci in two steps, as fast as the wind. "My lady, how can you be so reckless?"
Although there was a hint of complaint in his words, his eyes were filled with concern and worry.
"You should know. I'm fine. You came back this time, aren't you, because of the Su family's affairs?" Chu Ci asked as straightforwardly as usual.
However, Fan Jingrui did not respond, but instead carefully examined and confirmed Chu Ci's body one by one, as if the whole world was not as important as Chu Ci.
Chu Ci: Seeing everyone’s teasing eyes, I suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable!
An indescribable feeling of embarrassment suddenly surged into his heart, making Chu Ci feel as if his embarrassment cancer was about to break out.
