Chapter 165 Some Things She Ignored



The cause of Master’s death is closely related to the Jin family.

The disappearance of the portrait may also be related to the Jin family.

Now that Mai Ting is dead, Liu Xiangnan feels that it may also be related to the Jin family.

"Wait for the police to investigate. If there are any signs of this, we can explain the portrait to them."

Liu Xiangnan nodded, thinking to herself that it was time for her to find an opportunity to go to Kyoto.

Regardless of whether Mai Ting’s incident is related to the Jin family, she needs to go to Kyoto to learn about the real Jin family.

Xiaohe Village.

Zheng Shouze was busy all day and was covered in sweat.

He took off his rubber shoes and collapsed on the bed exhausted.

"grass……"

Lying on the bed, Zheng Shouze couldn't help but curse.

Even though almost a month had passed, he still hated Liu Xiangnan.

If Liu Xiangnan hadn't thrown him into this village, he wouldn't have to work like a dog every day.

The most important thing is that pig shit really stinks!

Zheng Shouze lay down for a while, and when he was not so tired anymore, he used his willpower to separate himself from the bed and went to the simple bathroom to take a shower.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bathroom, he saw a man.

"ah--"

Zheng Shouze screamed and ran away without caring that he was exhausted!

"Help! Someone is trying to kill me!"

He shouted as he ran.

The other party wanted to catch him, but Zheng Shouze ran away like a loach.

The bodyguards who were responsible for protecting him outside the door heard Zheng Shouze's screams and hurriedly kicked the door open.

What I saw was a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask, jumping out of the window and escaping.

The bodyguards followed, but after chasing for a while, they still found nothing.

Zheng Shouze was almost assassinated, so naturally someone reported it to Lu Xiangbei.

Lu Xiangbei glanced at the time and it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

He didn't want Liu Xiangnan to be restless in the middle of the night, so he asked a bodyguard to stay in the room with Zheng Shouze.

The rest of the people were guarding outside.

It was not until daybreak that Lu Xiangbei told Zheng Shouze how he was almost injured.

“Master!”

Liu Xiangnan suddenly raised his hand and patted his thigh: "Xiangbei, have someone check my master's room to see if anything is missing! Let's go over there quickly!"

Just after Mai Ting was killed, someone tried to assassinate Zheng Shouze.

Liu Xiangnan felt that these two things might be related.

Seeing that she was anxious, Lu Xiangbei immediately dispatched a driver to accompany Liu Xiangnan to the village.

"Master, Madam!"

Liu Xiangnan looked around: "Where's Zheng Shouze?"

"Inside the house."

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

Upon learning that Zheng Shouze was not injured, Liu Xiangnan went to the room where Jiang Mingyue had lived without even looking.

Zheng Shouze was lying on the bed. He originally thought that Liu Xiangnan would definitely come to visit him, and then he would take the opportunity to say something that would make Liu Xiangnan feel guilty so that Liu Xiangnan would exempt him from doing farm work.

He hadn't even started performing with Joe when he realized there was no sound outside the door!

He held his breath and listened carefully, only to find that Liu Xiangnan and Lu Xiangbei had already gone to another room!

Zheng Shouze felt angry, uneasy, and of course, more of aggrieved.

He is Liu Xiangnan's half-brother!

He was almost killed. As a sister, even if there is no family affection between them, Liu Xiangnan should show some concern for him!

Instead of ignoring it...

As he thought about it, Zheng Shouze felt aggrieved and tears were about to fall.

After realizing that he was about to cry because of a cruel sister, Zheng Shouze quickly reached out and wiped the tears from his face, pretending that nothing had happened.

In Jiang Mingyue's room, Liu Xiangnan looked at the mess on the floor and frowned.

The bodyguards were all nervous when they saw this scene.

"I'm sorry, Madam. We were negligent in our work and allowed the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of us."

Liu Xiangnan looked at the messy room. Although she felt a little tired, she also knew that this had nothing to do with the bodyguards.

She waved her hand and said, "Your duty is to protect Zheng Shouze, not to protect the safety of the house. It is enough for you to protect Zheng Shouze."

Lu Xiangbei glanced at the bodyguards.

The look of expulsion in his eyes was too obvious.

After expressing their gratitude, the bodyguards retreated and guarded the area around the house, fearing that someone else would come and harm Lu Xiangbei and Liu Xiangnan.

In the house.

After tidying up, Liu Xiangnan found that someone had moved under the bed.

She pushed the bed to the side and was shocked to find that someone had dug a two-meter-deep pit under the bed!

Liu Xiangnan was stunned.

"So, my master really has hidden some great treasure?"

But what exactly is this treasure?

Why did she let her master bring about his own death?

"The soil around here is still a little damp, which means it was recently dug in the past two days. I'll have someone check the surrounding surveillance cameras."

Lu Xiangbei went out to make some arrangements, then came back to pack up with Liu Xiangnan.

"On the surface, there's one more thing missing."

After putting them back in their original place, Liu Xiangnan frowned and muttered, "One thing is missing, a magic mirror, a magic mirror..."

After these people secretly took the portrait of Yuanshi Tianzun, what did they do with the magic mirror?

Liu Xiangnan murmured the word "magic mirror" and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She quickly took out her mobile phone, opened the picture of Yuanshi Tianzun, enlarged the picture on her mobile phone, and looked at it inch by inch.

"I see!"

Liu Xiangnan seemed to have discovered a new world. He took Lu Xiangbei's hand and said, "Did you see that? Does this shape in the portrait look like a magic mirror?"

Lu Xiangbei knew some knowledge of Taoism. He looked carefully and found that it did look like a magic mirror.

He took the phone, looked at it carefully, and then pointed at a golden rope on Yuanshi Tianzun's body, "This should be a magic whip."

He pointed to another semicircular image and said, "This is a token or flag. So, they are using the image to retrieve something your master used before. And these things could be the key that the secret agent has been seeking?"

"Key?" Liu Xiangnan repeated these two words and began to think.

Lu Xiangbei returned the phone to Liu Xiangnan and said, "When you read those suspense novels, you'll find that some paintings hide secrets, and the objects corresponding to the paintings may very well be the key to unlocking the secrets."

Liu Xiangnan felt that what Lu Xiangbei said made sense.

"What you said is possible. If these things didn't represent some secret, they wouldn't have come to my master's room so many times and taken away the corresponding items in the paintings. It's just..."

Liu Xiangnan was silent. She had always felt that her master had not left her any clues.

But now, she felt that something had been overlooked.

"Just what?"
