Jiang Yixing had just gotten up when he received a call from Gu Chun.
"What?"
"Yes, someone broke into the Xie family's basement last night. Although it was only the outer area, it still caused the Xie family a lot of losses."
Jiang Yixing broke out in a cold sweat that wasn't even there.
"What about the lost items?"
Gu Chun paused suspiciously for a moment, then said, "Half of them were found in the lobby of the Alliance in City A."
Upon hearing the familiar name of City A, Jiang Yixing was even more certain of something, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Even Gu Chun's usually stern face couldn't help but show a slight smile after seeing a large pile of magical artifacts that he had longed for but could not obtain in the past morning.
After having his men take inventory of all the magical artifacts, Gu Chun concluded that the person who robbed the Xie family must have only kept half of the artifacts.
To be honest, Xie Shungang sent men to attack Jiang Yixing yesterday.
Today, the Xie family's assets are on the Alliance's table.
Gu Chun could guess who did it almost without thinking.
I heard that he has recently advanced to a higher level, no wonder he has the confidence to challenge the Xie family.
Jiang Yixing was shocked by the news early in the morning, and all she could think about was how Rong Hang could carry so much stuff back and forth between the two cities all by himself?
After Gu Chun told Jiang Yixing the exciting news, he went on to deal with the windfall.
Neither of them mentioned who was behind it all during the phone call.
The first thing Jiang Yixing did upon arriving on set was to look for Rong Hang.
He arrived early as usual, already dressed in his costume. Today he wore a new costume, the dark robe outlining his slender figure, with a strand of long hair hanging down in front of his forehead.
Sensing Jiang Yixing's presence, Rong Hang looked towards her.
Hmm... His expression remained normal, showing no sign of guilt.
Rong Hang walked over and greeted him as usual, "Good morning."
Jiang Yixing raised an eyebrow slightly. "Did you sleep well last night?"
Rong Hang didn't quite understand at first, but nodded and said, "Very good."
Jiang Yixing, standing before him, wore a half-smile, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Oh? You slept very well?"
Jiang Yixing's deliberately drawn-out voice awakened Rong Hang's thoughts.
His heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Jiang Yixing.
Jiang Yixing was staring at him intently, a hidden smile in her phoenix eyes.
Rong Hang suddenly realized that Jiang Yixing already knew. He hadn't considered the possibility that Gu Chun would come to report the news so early in the morning when he took action, after all, Gu Chun seemed to be a cold-hearted person.
Who would have thought that even someone like that, when overwhelmed by a huge surprise, would be unable to resist sharing the good news with others?
"You know?" Rong Hang's tone softened, his voice like jade striking gold.
Rong Hang lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covering half of his eyeballs.
Jiang Yixing watched as Rong Hang bit his thin lips tightly. At that moment, Yin Mengran suddenly took over, her attention drawn to the beautiful scenery before her.
She leaned slightly closer to Li Ronghang, "Why are you going?"
Rong Hang was startled, his eyelashes fluttered, and he half-raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yixing.
His throat bobbed, as if he wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.
"Then let me ask you another question, what else did you do?"
Jiang Yixing understood Rong Hang; since he had taken action, he wouldn't just rob someone's basement.
Rong Hang's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, "Tie up a few of their guards."
At the same time, terrified screams pierced the sky from the Xie family's main house.
Xie Shun was startled awake. A servant was already knocking on the door. Xie Shun's voice was as authoritative as ever, but with a hint of annoyance at being woken up: "What is it?"
The servant's voice trembled slightly: "Our... assassin... has been tied up!"
