Seeing that she was so anxious, Long Yixing didn't ask any questions and paid the pharmacy owner himself. Feeling a little uneasy, he ran in the direction Ouyang left.
Following them to an upscale residential complex, the guard wouldn't let Ouyang in. She could only go over the nearby fence. Suddenly, a hand held her foot. It was Long Yixing, who had followed them, helping her.
This was also his first exposure to Ouyang's world. She was so brave and resourceful.
The two of them arrived at a villa. Ouyang threw the necklace he had taken from the safe into the yard, then made some noise. A man emerged from inside, picked up something on the grass, and went under a tree. The tree was already somewhat dry, as if it had little moisture, and drooped there.
After the man returned to the house, Ouyang said, "I'll call one, two, three, and then we'll run!"
"Ah?" He didn't understand what she meant. He just lost a necklace, so why would he run away?
Ouyang entered the yard and kicked the tree that was about to collapse, so that the people upstairs could see: "Who?"
"Go!"
While running, Ou Yan sent a message. A short while later, police sirens blared outside the residential complex. They had already run out of the complex and saw police cars entering and exiting one after another. When Ou Yang saw that the wheels of a police car were much flatter than when they first entered, he said, "Mission accomplished, let's go back."
"Ah?" Long Yixing asked, "You don't want to return the necklace?"
"Necklace? That's not mine," she said, "but don't worry, it will be back where it belongs."
The next day, when Long Yixing was at work, he heard his colleagues talking about something. He walked over and saw the news about the missing jewelry case on TV. The yard on TV looked very familiar to him. Wasn't it the place he and Ouyang went last night? And the missing jewelry was buried under the crooked tree. When the police went in, the couple was preparing to dig up the soil to confirm whether the jewelry was still there. And the necklace was clearly in Ouyang's hands, so why did it become stolen property? This made Long Yixing a little puzzled.
"Xiaolong, what do you think? All these jewels are buried under a tree. How valuable do you think that tree is?"
Long Yixing thought of those kicks from Ouyang and smiled: "How come the tree is valuable now? The things under the tree before."
“You wouldn’t know this,” the man shared, “but that tree provided a clue to the police.”
"How can you say it's the tree's fault?"
"Didn't you hear what the people on TV said? Those two people buried something under the tree, and the tree started to wither without nutrients. It also made some strange noises at night. If you look at it, it's almost fallen down."
"Then how did the police know?" asked Long Yixing.
"It's simple. The two men thought they were robbers, so they called the police. Who knew that the tree would reveal their identities?"
"Nonsense." Although Long Yixing didn't know who had called the police, it must have been related to Ouyang. She knew what was buried under the tree. However, because of the tree, she didn't argue with her colleagues about it and went back to her work.
Ouyang leaned back on the sofa as she received a thank-you message from a police officer. She had done him a big favor this time; at least he would be highly appreciated by his superiors for this case. She smiled. Now she was on the police's side. It seemed they were the only ones who shared Ouyang's goals, so they didn't care about reputation issues.
As soon as Long Yihang came back, he asked about the jewelry theft case: "How did you know those people hid the jewelry underground?"
"Investigate," she said. "If they stole jewelry, they would definitely sell it, and if they bought it, there would definitely be a buyer, right? Besides, the designer of those jewelry is that woman. She knows the value of the jewelry. Of course, if she has the opportunity, she can exchange inferior jewelry for high-quality jewelry."
"Is it that simple?" He thought there would be a complicated story inside, at least more exciting than what his colleagues said, but it was so bland.
"Shouldn't Xiao Nuan and the others have their day off?"
"The short holiday," Long Yihang said, "seems like it starts tomorrow."
Ouyang said this and sent a message to Mu Jiang. Mu Jiang said he would be back home in the next few days, but he said he didn't want to stay at home and wanted to stay in his original apartment. She felt that Mu Jiang still didn't want to meet Long Yinuan.
"What are her plans lately?"
"I haven't heard her say that," Long Yixing thought for a moment, "but a few days ago she asked me to prepare some money for her, saying that she wanted to take advantage of this short holiday to go traveling."
"Really? Then tell her she doesn't have to go."
"Why?"
"So she won't make a wasted trip."
According to Ouyang's request, Long Yixing conveyed her original words to his sister.
"She's really amazing!" Long Yinuan said, "Brother, don't you think Sister Ouyang knows everything?"
"Know what?"
"Knowing that I was going to look for Mu Jiang, he indirectly told me that Mu Jiang was not in Chongqing."
"What? You're going to Chongqing to find him?" Long Yixing stood up. "Why don't you give up? He just doesn't like you. Why are you still pestering him?"
"Who told him not to reply to my message!"
"I'm telling you now, if you want to go find Mu Jiang in the future, you know he doesn't like you."
"Brother, I didn't force him. I just wanted to take a good look at him, isn't that okay?"
