When she said the last sentence, Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale.
The warehouse was robbed and set on fire, which was certainly heartbreaking for her.
But what she feared most was how furious Zhang Zhaohai would be after he knew what had happened!
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel a little afraid when she thought of Zhang Zhaohai's temper and his habit of beating and scolding people at every turn.
But the matter is so big that it is impossible to hide it.
Mrs. Zhang stayed in the attic and asked the guards to search the place thoroughly, but they did not find any thieves.
"Madam, the person should have left." The guard bowed and said.
"What a waste." Madam Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "How did they get in, and when did they get in?"
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment.
How would they know!
They had been guarding here all the time and had not seen anyone at all. Only the lady and the maid came, and they left after a while.
As soon as they left, a fire broke out and things were lost...
If they were not afraid of being scolded by the lady, they would all want to ask if the lady did it herself.
But without them telling her, Mrs. Zhang herself felt something was wrong.
It's strange. There was nothing unusual on the second floor when they went to get the Hundred Ci Ice just now.
There was no one, no fire, and it seemed that the shelves that I had imagined were not empty.
Then why did it happen as soon as they left the attic?
Could it be that...someone followed them in?
But that was impossible. With so many guards here, how could anyone come and go as they pleased? And how could she and her maid be completely unaware?
Madam Zhang couldn't help but look at her maid, Bi Xin.
Of course she didn't do it herself. Could it be that the maid did it when she wasn't paying attention?
I scolded her the day before yesterday for her poor performance, so she is resentful?
Bi Xin shuddered and quickly explained aggrievedly, "Madam, Bi Xin has been following you just now, and has never left you for a single step!"
Mrs. Zhang thought that was right. Bi Xin didn't have time to move things and set fire.
This was too outrageous. Madam Zhang pondered over it over and over but could not find an answer. She could not help but get furious. "How did that person get in? Could it be that he can shrink the earth or become invisible?"
The guard was silent for a moment, then whispered a reminder, "Madam, there are restrictions under the warehouse. You can't use the earth escape technique here. Also, there are no invisibility techniques..."
"Then tell me how the things were stolen!" Mrs. Zhang was furious.
The guard fell silent.
Mrs. Zhang did not notice that Bi Xin, who was standing next to her, suddenly stiffened and turned pale, as if she had seen a ghost.
She thought about the first time she closed the door, it didn't close properly. The force that stopped her was like—
Someone blocked it!
This feeling is not unfamiliar in daily life. For example, when several people pass through a door at the same time, he wants to close the door, but the person behind him has not followed yet, so he will stretch out his hand to block it.
The more Bi Xin thought about it, the more she felt that this was exactly what happened!
This guess made her feel cold all over, and she looked around as if there was a ghost around her.
Someone!
Someone must have followed them into the attic and left with them!
I closed the door too quickly and the person couldn't keep up, so he reached out to block it!
But when she turned around, she didn't see anyone at all, and even with so many guards watching her, no one noticed!
"What are you doing? Why are you shaking?" Mrs. Zhang turned around suddenly and saw Bi Xin trembling all over with her eyes wide open.
The lady is asking.
Should I tell my wife about my discovery, or...
"No, it's okay..." Bi Xin forced a smile, "I was just worried that the master would blame me."
I can't tell my wife. Even if I do, she won't believe it and will even blame me for talking nonsense.
Because there is no magic spell or talisman in the world that can make you invisible!
There must be a ghost...
She couldn't even tell the ghost. What if the ghost targeted her and took revenge on her after she told him?
"Madam! Something bad has happened!"
Suddenly, panicked shouts were heard outside, coming from far away and getting closer.
"What are you yelling about!"
Mrs. Zhang was already angry, and this clueless situation made her crazy. Hearing someone shouting in the night made her even angrier.
"Madam, the master... the master..."
My legs went weak and I knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything more.
"What happened, Master?"
Mrs. Zhang felt a sinking feeling in her heart, wondering if that bastard had said something unpleasant about her in front of the servants again, or even wanted to punish her?
"The master is so angry!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
Mrs. Zhang seemed to be frozen, and she pondered the meaning of these words over and over again.
"Are you so angry?" Her voice was very soft.
"...Yes, when the master heard about the burglary and the break-in in the storehouse, he immediately became furious and threw the cup in his hand violently. And then, he disappeared."
The servant knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the ground.
He waited for a long time and found no sound.
What happened to the lady? She was so sad that she fainted?
He raised his head cautiously in confusion, and then found that the lady was in a daze, and there was a suspicious smile at the corner of her mouth...?
"Husband, Madam, are you okay?" he asked doubtfully.
Mrs. Zhang came to her senses and raised her sleeve to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. Her voice was filled with melancholy, "It's okay, I'm just... so sad."
The servant felt strange.
Is this the expression of sadness? I have little experience, so don't lie to me.
"Keep looking for him. Make sure you find the thief! Not only inside the mansion, but also outside. He might not have gone far."
"Yes." The servant responded and ran away quickly.
While running, I was still thinking: It seems that the lady cares more about the thief's whereabouts than the master's accident!
When Ning Zhishui climbed over the wall, he could no longer maintain his transparency and restored his original appearance.
I spent too much time in the mansion, and the effectiveness of the jade silk had passed. It lost its effect before I even left the mansion.
Fortunately, she didn't see any guards along the way when she ran along the wall. They seemed to be focusing their search on the door and the attic, so Ning Zhishui slipped out quietly without anyone noticing.
If you look through the jade silk at this time, you can find that it is translucent.
If you want to use it, you have to wait until it becomes transparent again.
Ning Zhishui put away the transparent jade silk, but was thinking about Zhang Zhaohai in her heart.
There was not enough time, so she couldn't see with her own eyes what was happening on Zhang Zhaohai's side, and she didn't know whether that guy had been successfully angered to death.
Also, if he died, I don’t know if Mrs. Zhang would ask an alchemist to come and check his body.
If a Xuan-level or Huang-level alchemist goes to see it, they naturally won’t find anything, but if it’s a Di-level one, such as President Meng... then Ning Zhishui really can’t guarantee that he won’t be able to see it at all.
