Chapter 335 Anson's Ambition
"Ring ring—ring ring—"
An alarm suddenly went off throughout the villa.
A series of hurried footsteps came from nearby.
When Xia Yue heard someone coming, she quickly found a room to hide in and carefully concealed herself.
She heard a conversation coming from outside.
Why is the alarm going off?
"The villa has a poison detection device. Even non-toxic date rape drugs will be detected as long as they are released into the air."
Note that an intruder has entered; the power outage just now was not accidental.
Search the villa thoroughly, leaving no stone unturned, not even the smallest rat hole!
"yes!!!"
A series of hurried footsteps could be heard outside, followed by people going their separate ways.
Xia Yue hadn't expected that Ansen's anti-gas equipment was so advanced; this anti-gas detector was her nemesis.
She even suspected that this was a high-tech contraption that the Drug organization had specifically researched to deal with her.
Now, she was unable to do anything.
Moreover, the room was closed off, without even a window.
Even if she wanted to escape, it seemed she wouldn't have the chance.
Anson, who lives next door, gets excited because of the sudden alarm!
No thief dared to set foot on his territory.
Someone secretly poisoned him; perhaps this proves that the person he's been waiting for has arrived!
"I originally intended to use you as bait to lure Xia Yue out."
"I never expected that she would show up so soon after we arrested you. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to me effortlessly."
Anson smiled smugly.
Shen Xiangxiang felt a chill in her heart.
She didn't want Xia Yue to come and rescue her; it was too dangerous here.
Yueyue finally woke up, why did she do such a foolish thing!
"You're getting too excited. It's definitely not Yueyue who's coming to save me," Shen Xiangxiang said, hoping the person who came wasn't her friend.
Unfortunately, Anson ignored her and went outside to search for Xia Yue's whereabouts.
He walked to the door and shouted, "Even if we have to dig this villa up to the bone, we must find the intruder, understand?"
"Yes!!!" The voices of the crowd echoed throughout the villa.
It also reached Xia Yue's ears.
Xia Yue knew that the small room she was in, under the bed, would be searched sooner or later.
She couldn't just sit and wait to die.
However, once she uses poison, the poison detection system here will detect it, thus exposing her identity and location.
Although she still carried gold needles with her.
However, when she fell into the sea, the needles were soaked in seawater, which reduced their sensitivity and showed signs of corrosion.
When used as a concealed weapon, its effectiveness is less than half of what it was before.
Time passed by, bit by bit.
Finally, the door was opened and someone came in to search the room.
Xia Yue held the golden needle in her hand, held her breath, and hid under the bed.
Just then, Xia Yue noticed a pair of shiny leather shoes appear in her field of vision.
Anson's familiar voice came from above, "Is this the last room that hasn't been checked?"
"Yes, we searched the rest of the area and didn't find any intruders."
"Lord Anson, the only places to hide here are under the bed and in the wardrobe. We'll move the things out right away!"
After he finished speaking, his subordinates opened the wardrobe.
The cabinet was empty, completely devoid of any items.
The only remaining suspicious point is under the bed where Xia Yue was.
At this moment, Anson personally crouched down and peered under the bed.
With lightning speed, Xia Yue pierced Ansen's eye with the golden needle, but deliberately stopped a centimeter away.
Anson was startled and immediately stepped back.
The subordinate hurriedly asked, "Lord Anson, what's wrong? Is there something wrong under the bed?"
After saying that, the subordinate prepared to peek out.
An Shen kicked his subordinate away.
"Useless trash! You can't even find a single person! Get out of here!" Anson roared angrily.
Fearing further reprimand from Anson, the subordinates quickly left.
Anson was the only one left in the room.
Anson took a deep breath; he had seen his share of big events and quickly calmed down.
He was certain that the person under the bed was Xia Yue.
Gold needles are only used during the summer months.
Just now, with Xia Yue's speed, she could have easily blinded him and caused a fight to the death.
But Xia Yue did not do that.
She deliberately let him off the hook.
Then...should he let her go this time?
After all, he wanted to make the game even more fun.
Anson chuckled, then said to the person under the bed, "It's cold on the floor, come out."
"I didn't expect the Fourth Prince to care about people." Xia Yue emerged from under the bed with a generous air, dusting herself off.
Then, with a look of disdain, he said, "Your villa looks clean, but I didn't expect the area under the bed to be so dirty."
"Whether it's dirty or not, it's just under the bed, which most people can't see," Anson explained with a half-smile. "If I had known that Dr. X was coming, I would have cleaned under all the beds."
“Heh, that’s unnecessary,” Xia Yue retorted firmly.
She and Anson looked at each other, testing each other's limits.
Anson didn't order his subordinates to arrest her, but instead secretly communicated with her, which must have been for some other purpose.
He's now relying on the Drug organization, and there must be Drug spies among his subordinates.
In other words, Anson communicated with her privately, but did not want Drug to find out.
Why did he do this?
"Seeing how wary you are of me, I might as well tell you some good news first, to cheer you up," Anson said slowly.
Xia Yue raised an eyebrow, looked at Ansen, but did not speak.
Anson continued, "My current direct supervisor is Gu Chen. He misses you very much and has been trying every means to find you."
