Chapter 525: Recovering Memory (Update 1)
Ruan Qi and Shen Wenqian quickly finished their business.
"By the way, what are you doing in my room? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Shen Wenqian asked.
Ruan Qi hummed, "I'm going out with Sister Lan and Uncle He Ma in a while, so I need to tell you."
"Go out for a while?" Shen Wenqian frowned. "What are you going out for?"
Ruan Qi blinked, coughed, and said tactfully, "I'm going to a friend's house for a walk."
Bai Li in the system couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Also 'hanging out at a friend's house'?
That sounds really nice.
Ruan Xiaoqi, before you say this, could you please take out the eavesdropping device in your pocket that you prepared for the Hawke family?
Bai Li complained crazily, but Shen Wenqian had no idea of Ruan Qi's inner thoughts and just thought she was really going to meet a friend.
He nodded: "Okay, be careful on the road and come back early. By the way, remember to wear a mask."
Ruan Qi responded obediently, then waved goodbye to Shen Wenqian.
Twenty minutes later, three men dressed in black quietly left the hotel.
In the black car, Ruan Qi sat in the passenger seat, and on the pad in his hand was a map of the interior layout of Hawke Manor.
"When the Hawke family receives distinguished guests, they always arrange for them to stay in the detached house next to the main building. The environment there is elegant and quiet, and it is most suitable for people to live alone." Mo Lan, who was sitting in the back row, leaned forward and tapped Ruan Qi's pad with the stylus. "This is the building."
Ruan Qi looked at the little red dot on the layout map and asked, "Where is Old Hawke's study?"
"Old Hawke has two study rooms." Mo Lan pointed out the locations of the two study rooms on the pad. "One is used for general office work and receiving subordinates, and the other is used for discussing confidential matters."
Ruan Qi looked at the two study rooms. They were both in the main building, located to the east, quite far from the single-family villa next to the main building.
Ruan Qi stared at the layout map for a while, then called up the surveillance distribution map of Hawke Manor.
These were all found out by He Ma through hacker channels.
The security system of Hawke Manor is very advanced, with surveillance cameras installed everywhere, and the bodyguards responsible for patrolling are also extremely professional.
It is indeed a troublesome task to sneak into the manor quietly and avoid being detected by the surveillance cameras.
Ruan Qi thought for a moment and asked Bai Li, "Uncle Bai Li, can you block the surveillance camera?"
"Theoretically, it's possible. However, my spiritual power is insufficient right now, and with so many monitors, I estimate I can only block it for about forty minutes."
Forty minutes is enough.
Ruan Qi nodded and said, "Then please help me block the surveillance camera and don't let it record me."
The black car was speeding along the wide avenue of Y City.
An hour later, we arrived at Hawke Manor.
As a famous old noble in Country Y, Hawke Manor is really very large. If you walk from the gate to the main building, it takes at least half an hour to get there.
The size of the manor also meant that Ruan Qi faced more risks and a higher probability of being discovered.
The black car stopped at a small forest outside Hawke Manor.
Ruan Qi asked Bai Li to block the surrounding surveillance cameras, then put on armor on his face, opened the door and got out of the car.
He Ma and Mo Lan followed her.
The three of them moved silently in the night, running so fast that they looked like a few afterimages.
Two minutes later, the magnificent gate of Hawke Manor appeared in front of Ruan Qi.
She quickly glanced around, made a gesture to Mo Lan and He Ma, then turned around and rushed towards the wall not far away.
Bai Li had already tampered with the alarm system on the wall, so it wouldn't go off again. Ruan Qi, like a little leopard in the dark night, flew up, then with a light leap, flipped over, and climbed inside the wall.
He Ma and Mo Lan followed closely behind.
This section of the wall was the weakest point in Hawke Manor's security system. At this time every night, the bodyguards were on duty, and few people would patrol here. So as long as Bai Li blocked the surveillance camera, Ruan Qi's skills would make it easy for him to enter the area without anyone's intervention.
The three hid in the bushes for a while, and after making sure there was no one around, they began to move towards the main building.
From time to time, the voices of bodyguards drifted over from a distance on the wind. Ruan Qi's expression remained unchanged. She cleverly dodged all patrols, her steps as swift as the wind, her figure as elusive as a ghost. She treated the vast Hawke Manor as her own backyard, strolling around it casually and unrestrainedly.
The journey that originally took at least half an hour to walk was shortened to ten minutes.
Finally arrived at the main building.
Behind a rockery, Ruan Qi squatted in the flowers, looking up at the main building and the detached villa not far away.
She pondered for a moment, and finally decided to take a look at the detached villa first.
…
At this time, the cold lights in the villa were dim.
Ruan Qi hid quietly outside the first-floor window and looked inside.
There was no one in the huge living room, only a chandelier was lit at the bar.
The furniture in the living room was clean and tidy, and every chair was placed neatly, as if no one had ever lived there.
Ruan Qi stared at the living room for a while and was about to look away when suddenly footsteps were faintly heard from the house.
She quickly leaned over the windowsill and looked over.
A person was slowly walking down the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
Ruan Qi thought it was Jiang Chunian, and clasped her hands tightly around the windowsill, her heart in her throat.
But at this moment, the man on the stairs showed his face.
——It turned out to be a strange Western man.
Ruan Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she could finish her breath, she suddenly opened her eyes wide -
What is that Western man holding? !
"Fuck!" Mo Lan couldn't help but lower his voice and curse.
one person!
The Western man was holding a living person in his hands!
But the man's legs were covered in blood, and the Western man just dragged him down the stairs step by step!
The man's legs left two horrific blood marks on the stairs, dragging all the way from the stairs to the living room on the first floor. The blood marks looked weird and terrifying under the cold light.
Ruan Qi stared at the bloodstain, and suddenly another picture popped up in his mind -
In the picture, she was tied to a dining chair, with Jiang Chunian sitting next to her.
In front of the two of them was an expensive gilded dining table, filled with delicious food.
Jiang Chunian held the knife and fork elegantly, eating steak while picking up the red wine glass on the table.
He handed the wine glass to the waiter beside him. The waiter, wearing white gloves, took the wine glass to the other side of the table and picked up a decanter on the table.
The decanter contained a red liquid, but the color of the liquid didn't look like red wine, and its consistency was also slightly different from that of red wine.
The waiter held the decanter, tilted the bottle mouth and aimed it at the red wine glass.
The red liquid slowly flowed out of the decanter and silently flowed into the crystal clear wine glass.
